Speaker 3: As Indiana takes out Oregon the Jeff Schwartz Ducks. Uh

8
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 3: it was pretty ugly beat down Indiana flexed.

Speaker 4: it was a bummer, but uh yeah it's just good man.

12
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, just just good and uh we ran into

13
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 4: a bus. You know, it's just so it's just so

14
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 4: interesting how now you know you you know you it's

15
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 4: a fan base. It's just like go crazy when it

16
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 4: comes to things like these losses like this. But I

17
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 4: mean Indiana was, uh, they're they're good men and they're

18
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 4: so well coached, which we do coming into this game.

19
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 4: I think we're finding out too in college football that

20
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 4: it used to be a game dominated by younger players

21
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 4: that were right five star kids and the last three

22
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 4: years the champions and Indiana is gonna win next week

23
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 4: or whenever they play on Monday, two Mondays from now

24
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 4: that you know, teams with with with older players who

25
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 4: can play, who are good by the way, who are

26
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 4: good that that is, that is the way to go.

27
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 5: Uh.

28
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 4: And Indiana is a team that they I mean, Avergator

29
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 4: is twenty three of their starters.

30
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 3: So I was just talking about this with Davy Dean

31
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 3: our project and I l they're they're at you call it,

32
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 3: they're average ages twenty three. The deal with them too

33
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 3: is they're like an NFL light team and you know

34
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 3: college he's all about. You know, you look at Dantae

35
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 3: Moore was twenty years old. We talked about the possibility

36
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 3: of d'ante Moore making a mistake at some point, and look,

37
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 3: first play the game, you have to pick six.

38
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: That's the difference between a team.

39
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 3: With twenty three twenty four year olds at the big

40
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 3: spots and a twenty year old quarterback. Like that's kind

41
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 3: of where how it goes. Look at Mendoza and the

42
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 3: poise because listen, when you're twenty three years old, I

43
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 3: mean you just have that kind of poise.

44
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it, uh, it really showed me. Doza was

45
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 4: so good, you know, he was funny. I saw two

46
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 4: before the game that nine percent of the money and

47
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 4: the number one played prop in this game was Mendoza

48
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 4: over his passing yards two hundred and eight I believe

49
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 4: it was. They scored fifty six points. I think fifty

50
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 4: five points. Seventy seven yards he was seventeen to twenty.

51
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 4: Is incredible, but like that's how the game went. Like

52
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 4: they were.

53
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: To throw.

54
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 4: And yeah, I mean it was like a mercy he

55
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 4: didn't throw for that many yards. So look, I I

56
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 4: We've talked about Indiana a lot because they deserve the

57
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 4: attention for for what's happening there. But the fact is,

58
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 4: this is the greatest story in the history of college

59
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 4: sports as long as far as I know it. Right,

60
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 4: I'm not as old as you are. I don't have

61
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 4: the sense of history that maybe others do. But it

62
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 4: is incredible what they're doing. They are breaking every mold

63
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 4: of college football. They are doing it differently anyone else

64
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 4: that's ever done it, and they are going to be

65
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 4: a champion like anything we've seen the sport. The sport

66
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 4: has been one by teams that have the most high

67
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 4: level NFL players for twenty five years now, right, and

68
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 4: this group doesn't happen. They have been doses incredible obviously, Uh,

69
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 4: but this is not Indiana team that has a line,

70
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 4: a team that is just chalk for like Oregon will

71
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 4: have more guys drafted higher if they decide to leave

72
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 4: than in Indiana will. Like It's just that's always been

73
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 4: the way the sport has been won, and Indiana's breaking

74
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 4: all that mold. They're breaking with the coach.

75
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 3: Who you know, Oh, he's older, which is ironic, right,

76
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 3: the fact that he's a late bloomer and he's older,

77
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 3: and that's basically what the roster is. Yeah, you know Mendoza,

78
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 3: look at Menz mean, you know, late bloomer.

79
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 4: So the the coding is interesting because obviously people are

80
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 4: gonna are gonna smash you know, Dan Landa is what

81
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 4: it is. But I've done a lot of research on

82
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 4: this and it it takes about six years for you

83
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,799
Speaker 4: to win your first championship as a brand new head coach,

84
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 4: first time the first time head coach. So you looking

85
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 4: thinking about Ryan Day last year six years, Kirby Smart

86
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 4: six years. I think Dabbo was seven years. Urban Meyer

87
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 4: was in a sixth year of coaching. That I'm not

88
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 4: talking about at the place you're at. I'm talking about

89
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 4: as a head coach, right, because there was two years

90
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 4: of Bowling Green, and it takes time to learn how

91
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 4: to win these type of games and build the team

92
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 4: the way you want to do it. Signetti has seen

93
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 4: a lot of football, right, and he is coached. He's

94
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 4: his fifteen year I think it's fifteenth years a head coach.

95
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 4: He's coached a lot of football. I get it's not

96
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 4: Division one level, but that doesn't matter coaching coaching. Madame

97
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 4: Kaalin de Board was at n ai A like it.

98
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 4: Nick Saban started it. It was it Toledo like Toledo, right,

99
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 4: and the Kent State that's somewhere like that, like you

100
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 4: you know, we have urban Bowling Green, like you have

101
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 4: to start somewhere right, build up through that and understand

102
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 4: do that typically without the pressure of having to be

103
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 4: at an organ Ohio State or clubs it right like

104
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 4: you do it typically in the quietness and calmness of

105
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 4: Bowling Green right like so todet he has had the

106
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 4: opportunity to learn and grow as a head coach. He

107
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 4: found great coordination. I'm sure I'm shocked by the way

108
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,559
Speaker 4: that the Indiana coordinators do not get head coaching jobs.

109
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 4: I don't know why no one talked to him. Maybe

110
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 4: you both. Yeah, I'm okay with h I'm I'm okay

111
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 4: with offense. But we'll see. I mean it's dan Land's defense.

112
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 4: I don't I don't know that. The coordinators only, but

113
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 4: I you know, it's it's remarkable with what they've done.

114
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 4: But coaching experience matters. Experience in games matter, you know,

115
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 4: you know it just it just does. Organ You know,

116
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 4: their quarterbacks in his first year as a starter, right,

117
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 4: they had a Mendoza's and what his sixth fifth year

118
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 4: in collegtable, fifth year as a starter, whatever it is

119
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 4: for Mendoza, he's so good. Raiders fans man you got

120
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 4: I think you guys are really good. Got a real

121
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 4: good one. So and look, I'm bummed. It stinks to

122
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 4: have your team keep blown out like that. I two

123
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 4: this last night, though, And I know it's people hard

124
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 4: to understand. You lose by want to lose by one hundred.

125
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 4: It's the same results, it's the same. It's still it's

126
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 4: a lost man, and people just can't get over that

127
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 4: type of idea. I know it's odd for people look

128
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 4: at it that way, but it just goes down as

129
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 4: a loss man like that's what it is. It's a loss,

130
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 4: and they're yeah, I think it'd be different, and in

131
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 4: a sense right because you get blown out, but the

132
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 4: end result is still the same, Right, you have a

133
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 4: loss and to figure out how to get better on that.

134
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 4: But again, Indiana is going, I think to throttle Miami

135
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 4: and it's gonna be a story that we've never seen before.

136
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think you're right. I think I think

137
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 3: it's a mismatch. I mean, you know, we've seen them

138
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 3: blow out Alabama and now Oregon and they are they're

139
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 3: just impeccably coached, right, like you want you look at

140
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 3: at everything how they did. It's funny because when Oregon

141
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 3: answered to pick six by going up and down the field,

142
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 3: by going down the field and scoring right dot Timorton

143
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 3: like real nice drive and you go, wow, all right,

144
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 3: can they have that kind of success against the Indianda defense?

145
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 3: And then I mean the issue is you had the

146
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 3: O lineman knick the ball out of his hands and

147
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 3: turn the over it you got to run it.

148
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 2: Excuse me, the running.

149
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 3: Back at the at the four yard line and you

150
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 3: know then you're staring up it's twenty one seven and

151
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 3: you're starting to look up, and that's a team that

152
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 3: gets better as the game goes on. There. You saw

153
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 3: them do the same thing against Alabama.

154
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 4: And uh, Indiana is a bowl constructor bad. They you

155
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 4: start breathing heavy, start, you start, you know, u panicking,

156
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 4: you start trying to get away, and they just they

157
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 4: just they just like they tie that grip on you.

158
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 4: And they did that to Organ last night. And look,

159
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 4: I mean that fu it's just the pick sicks. The

160
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 4: first play of the game was just sort of a

161
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 4: lazy throw and he read the wrong side of the

162
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 4: field again. But that is that's what it is. What

163
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 4: it is. You thought an interceptions when you come back,

164
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 4: he scored the seven points, I was like, oh, oh

165
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 4: okay right then, and then they score fourteen seven. We

166
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 4: get it. We eventually forced a punt, we get the

167
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 4: ball back and then you know, just you have a

168
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 4: true freshman running back who doesn't play a ton and

169
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 4: you know, get you fumble and just don't hell from

170
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 4: better man. I may coming back. So my I mean,

171
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 4: Miami's got to play a very very clean game to

172
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 4: b d D. And I don't think's I think Indiana

173
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 4: is gonna you know, when we look the starting field position.

174
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 4: Last night, Indiana averaged a fifty yard line.

175
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, I mean, you know dead the block punt,

176
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 2: the end tribute.

177
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 4: To that and that's the block punt. Yeah, I mean yeah,

178
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 4: I think I think Look, I think we're getting the

179
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 4: thing about the youth man the transfer portal, n I L.

180
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 4: Guys are staying longer now, right that they have the

181
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 4: opportunity to stay longer. And that's the selling point. You know,

182
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 4: Oregon has with a lot of their players. But they

183
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 4: got six guys going the top fifty probably and I

184
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 4: think all but two are coming back. All before you

185
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 4: four four should come back too, are going to go.

186
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 4: And so you know, the old the youth. I mean,

187
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 4: it's crazy how the sport changed so fast, how the

188
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 4: youth changed so fast from it being a young a

189
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 4: younger sport with full of you know, four and five.

190
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 4: Would you still think you still those high level players.

191
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 4: I don't think Indiana is gonna change that, but it's

192
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:50,119
Speaker 4: now moved into a sport where being able to uh

193
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 4: develop and keep players and just be sort of an

194
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 4: older group is gonna be very important.

195
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

196
00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 3: Well, you know, here's the news flashy, you're better at

197
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 3: twenty three and twenty four than you are a twenty do.

198
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 4: Indiana on their offense has only one guy who's not

199
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 4: in his fourth year.

200
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 3: Well that's you know, experiencing football's everything. Listen, do you

201
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 3: have your Tony's and and uh Jeremiah Smith's of the

202
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 3: world that come in at a skill position, he'd be

203
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 3: really young.

204
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, but up and down your front.

205
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, but Ohio State last year was a fifth year quarterback.

206
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 4: You know they Well that's the point. All the line

207
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 4: was in their fourth year.

208
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 3: That's what that's the point I'm making. And that's why

209
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 3: it really when you look at them and again and

210
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 3: then you put in a signetti, who's that good of

211
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 3: a coach?

212
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 2: Well, you know.

213
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 4: He's coach that he's still good of a coach at

214
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 4: Twitter like accuses him of cheating, like like they they

215
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 4: they must know the place, they must know the plays.

216
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 4: I'm like, no, they're just they're good. They're good, and

217
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 4: that that is what Indiana has become and they should.

218
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 4: You know, I have Indiana friends. They are just like

219
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 4: beyond belief that this is this is happening to them

220
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 4: this year and they deserve it.

221
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 5: Man.

222
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 4: They they have won every big moment They've won every

223
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 4: big game. They continue to win these moments of big games,

224
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 4: and they're gonna win in a couple of Mondays, and

225
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 4: it's gonna be the greatest story and maybe the history

226
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 4: of sport. I mean, I mean, they were these they

227
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 4: were the losingest culture ball program until this season. They

228
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 4: were the losing cultural program until this season. And they're

229
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 4: gonna win a champion. Now, Look, can Miami win? I yeah,

230
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 4: you don't think they can win all?

231
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think.

232
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 4: I think it's I think it can be hard. Yeah,

233
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be hard for them to win

234
00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 4: because their style of play. They that's it's just it's

235
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 4: just not yet correct. I think. I'm with you. Look,

236
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 4: it's just I think it's it's not the Miami is

237
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 4: sort of what Organ tried last night. Like they have

238
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 4: sort of a pickup ball offense where they just run

239
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 4: the football and try to keep back out of bad situations.

240
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 4: And that just feels like not a good spot to

241
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:22,079
Speaker 4: be in if you're gonna be in Indiana. And look, again,

242
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 4: it's an incredible story. It came with the expensive of

243
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 4: my team and Organs have to take the heat for

244
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 4: this dude.

245
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's the role of getting knocked out,

246
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 3: like you're just a Tyson victim.

247
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 4: It's it's uh, it's so funny, dude, Like Lanny can't

248
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 4: win the big game. I go, we move the goal

249
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 4: post on time he won last week, Like it's two

250
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 4: and two in the playoffs. As a thirty nine year old,

251
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 4: I think that's okay. You think Lanny can't win the

252
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 4: big game. Who's saying that?

253
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 3: You guys stop reading that you gotta stop reading. And

254
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 3: I look, that's insured.

255
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 4: I am very happy with the program. It happens. It's unfortunate.

256
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 4: It stinks to lose that way, but that that, you know,

257
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 4: that is sometimes life in the in the big leagues.

258
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 4: And uh, look, I just want I don't want to

259
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 4: take away from I don't want to make there's an

260
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 4: organ show because Indiana is what they did, what they've

261
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 4: done is just remarks.

262
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean for that, yeah, I mean they listen.

263
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 3: Indiana deserves every bit of it. I Joe Buck's a

264
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 3: good buddy of mine, and uh, you know last year

265
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 3: during their ascent, you know he was going bitatas and

266
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 3: then this year we've been going back and forth in

267
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 3: them all season with it, and he's been like loving it.

268
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 3: All those Indiana guys like that's the coolest thing in

269
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 3: the world. I mean, to come on the scene this

270
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 3: way is freaking awesome, man. And then to win it

271
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 3: just uttered dominance in a good way, you know what.

272
00:14:55,200 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 3: You know what another key play was so Oregon ties it.

273
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 3: Like we talked about seven to seven, you know, there

274
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 3: was on the first series of that next drive at

275
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 3: seven seven, it was third down and Mendoza throws a

276
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 3: back shoulder to Surat and it was just such a

277
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 3: great throw that, you know, all of a sudden, if

278
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 3: they don't convert their their punting and Oregon at seven

279
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 3: seven and Oregon's got.

280
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 2: The ball and feeling good about itself.

281
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 3: And it was just because that was the funt that

282
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 3: came to my mind, because how many time you see

283
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 3: a team start like, oh, seven nothing, you go, oh

284
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 3: my god, this give me a blowout.

285
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 2: The other team goes down to.

286
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 3: The score, and then all of a sudden, it's the

287
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 3: it goes the other way. But Mendoza and he he

288
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 3: has just mastered that back shoulder throw.

289
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 2: It's just such a weapon.

290
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 3: He's so good, he's so accurate that he made some

291
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 3: key conversions on third down.

292
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 4: I mean, those Bachelor of throws are just like impossible

293
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 4: to defend, to defend. I mean even Greg macawroy said

294
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 4: last night, like you just like your guys are like

295
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 4: on they're just they're there and can't and can't bring

296
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 4: it in. Look, Mendoza is you got to throw it right,

297
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 4: the perfect throw and the thing I go back to

298
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 4: and then look, this is not a slight at all.

299
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 4: It's actually I think makes it more impressive Indiana last night.

300
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 4: To get it in my head, did they complete one

301
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 4: pass inside the numbers last night? I don't think so.

302
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 4: Look they think now, I mean, you know, you complete

303
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 4: seventeen passes. I don't think one was between the hashmat

304
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 4: I don't think so. I'm sure they did, I just

305
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 4: I know were all outside. I don't think they. I

306
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 4: don't think they they They don't throw the ball in

307
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 4: the middle of the field like this is the one

308
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 4: the one thing about Mendoza that oh no excuse mean

309
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 4: the touchdown late when there in the back of the

310
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 4: end zone. They threw like to in the back of

311
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 4: the end zone on late in the down. On the touchdowns,

312
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 4: I think we're two were like in the back of

313
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 4: the end zone, but like like sort of like right

314
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 4: behind the offenseone is like they don't. They just don't

315
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 4: have a lot of offense and they just kick everyone's

316
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 4: But anyways, buddy, like it's it's it's, it's it's there's

317
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 4: nothing like it, man, I it's it's no way to

318
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 4: explain it.

319
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 3: It's just there's no way to explain it. Well, tight

320
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 3: that they don't. They don't throw it tight end a lot, but.

321
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 4: If they do, it's it's only on when you move

322
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 4: the pocket play. It's like when they when they move

323
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 4: in the pocket or they're late, Like they threw it

324
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 4: the tight end on a third down on like an

325
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 4: option route, but it was to the sideline early in

326
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 4: the game. It's just never it's never over the middle

327
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 4: of the field.

328
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,719
Speaker 3: I mean, but you know there are big players are

329
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 3: down the field right like they go they take shots

330
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 3: down the field and between sir Out and Becker. I mean,

331
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 3: you know that's kind of that's kind of their offense.

332
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 3: But he's special, man, those is terrific.

Speaker 2: It at here.

360
00:19:52,720 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 3: What's better those gonna sound sacrilgious. But what's better the

361
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 3: first four days of the tournament or the five days

362
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 3: of football?

363
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 4: I mean, for me, it's the five days of football.

364
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 4: But look, I have this story about college basketball that

365
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 4: I I think I'm right on this, but obviously it's

366
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 4: gonna I think it's other people. I don't think we

367
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 4: watch college basketball because it's good. We watch it because

368
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 4: it's actually bad. We watch it because we want to

369
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 4: see the meltdowns, we want to see the upsets, we

370
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 4: want to see just like the it is a poorly

371
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 4: playing sport for a lot of the games, like just

372
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 4: watch on an average Thursday night, it's just it's a

373
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 4: lot of bad basketball. Watch a tournament like it's it's

374
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 4: not great basketball, It's just it's It's all we love

375
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 4: is the is a team just completely melting down the

376
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 4: final five minutes of a game. Right, That's what we

377
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 4: tweet bouts we watch is what we care about. It's

378
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 4: what we bet on. I completely disagree, but that's all right.

379
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 3: What it's what I don't watch because of that. I

380
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 3: don't watch because of meltdowns.

381
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 4: That's that's what.

382
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 3: By the way, now basketball has the college basketball has changed,

383
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 3: But you know, you said it earlier that I was

384
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 3: older than yet when I was when I was growing.

385
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 4: Up, it's completely changed.

386
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 3: It was college basketball was elite, but it was great ball,

387
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 3: you know when you're you know, as a product of

388
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 3: the nineties, it was great basketball watching Duke and UNLV

389
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 3: in Michigan and Michigan status in.

390
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 4: Indiana because guys stayed there. Was the guys were there

391
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 4: for a while. You could build a relationship with what

392
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 4: exactly exactly do that anymore exactly? I think people I

393
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 4: think in the end, a majority, not you, a majority

394
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 4: of people end up watching college basketball and liking it.

395
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 4: Liking it because of the chaos, not because the game

396
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 4: has played very well. I think people are watching today

397
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 4: because it's the NFL. It's like, it's so funny, man,

398
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 4: Like you know the Miami Old Miss game, I said

399
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 4: tweet to college of people. How could someone like anything

400
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 4: else besides college football? Like did you watch the Raven Steelers?

401
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 2: Like I like, I like.

402
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 4: Trouble all the time in the NFL. It uh. I

403
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 4: think I just think the NFL is is is just

404
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 4: a better product, better problem we get, and then we

405
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 4: get college football on top of it. So I will

406
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 4: choose the football over the basketball, even though March Madis

407
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 4: obviously has a you know, has a purpose and it's

408
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 4: a lot of fun for those four days. H I

409
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 4: think just the football that we're going to see the

410
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,959
Speaker 4: next three days and we've seen already is is just

411
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 4: really well. I mean, even Indiana a complete blowout. The

412
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 4: football was incredible from medienna.

413
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 3: Hey, by the way, the fourth quarter between Miami and

414
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 3: All missed its great was unbelievable. So I was I

415
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 3: did that was my and I wasn't trying to be

416
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,479
Speaker 3: mister hot Day because I'll blow doing that. But I

417
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 3: was so excited for the five days of football. This

418
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 3: is this was on Thursday morning that you know, I

419
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 3: was talking about the fact that I said, I gotta

420
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 3: tell you, I like it better. I like the five

421
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 3: days of football better than the tour. First four days

422
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 3: of the tournament. Dude I worked with was like, what

423
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 3: are you that's the tournament. You know, the guys are

424
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 3: getting vasectomies and all this other stuff. I go, give

425
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 3: me the football over the basket. I'm sorry, Like, I know,

426
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 3: it's less games, but it's it's the it's quowity, it's playoffs.

427
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 4: Yeah. And and this year especially where it feels like

428
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 4: it's anyone's playoffs. I mean, you tell me any one

429
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 4: of these teams wins the playoffs, I would I would

430
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 4: believe you right. And that that makes this year, I

431
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 4: think even better, is that it's going to be a

432
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 4: wild NFL playoffs where I mean, I like, there's going

433
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 4: to be a team that has a performance that we

434
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 4: just don't see coming. There's gonna be a team that

435
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 4: has to performance where they upset someone else and it

436
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 4: ends up maybe not being a real upset. In the end,

437
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 4: you're like, oh, actually that made a lot of sense.

438
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 4: It's gonna be wild. The NFL playoffs this year are

439
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 4: gonna be absolutely wild, and I cannot wait to watch it.

440
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 4: We have four games within a field goal on the

441
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 4: points spread, and then obviously your game got seemed way out.

442
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 4: We have a game ten obviously between the Rams and

443
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 4: the Panthers that's a tempoint spread. But we got a

444
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 4: lot of games where it feels like it's anyone's game. Man.

445
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll get into all of them, but I'm just

446
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 3: talking about from a big picture between the college football

447
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 3: and the NFL.

448
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 4: I'd rather like this or football guys, though.

449
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 3: I know I I gotta tell you too, the only

450
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 3: thing bad about the five days of football is on

451
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 3: the sixth day it's over.

Speaker 3: to get I love this, we this weekend. But like

455
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 3: when it's over, you start to do the math and

456
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 3: you go, oh, there's four games next week to the

457

Speaker 2: Because I love I love all sports. They're like my kids.

463
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 3: I don't have any favorites except football, right, but I

464
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 3: love them. I love the I love them in their

465
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 3: own way. And I'll get into you know, the tournament

466
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 3: and hoops college hoops, and I love baseball the whole thing.

467
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 3: But we wait all year long for football, man, and

468
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 3: it just flies by.

469
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 2: You know.

470
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 4: Part of it too, is listening to someone talk about

471
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 4: this the other day. Part of the two for college

472
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 4: football is that, like we we used to have an

473
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 4: offseason where you know, you could actually like talk about

474
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 4: we'll assuming there is no off season right where in

475
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 4: the NFL you have combine and draft like all these

476
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 4: things that you can like you can talk about in

477
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 4: the off season. College football their off seasons now because

478
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 4: the portal like it's happening right now coaching there's no

479
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 4: so college table sort of like abruptly ends where the NFL,

480
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 4: like we have coaching hirings to talk about, we have fires,

481
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 4: we have an entire combine and and and a pre

482
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 4: draft process, and then the draft or college football like

483
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 4: it just goes from zero to nothing, like there'll be

484
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 4: nothing really to talk about now for months, for months

485
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 4: because the ross set and there used there used to

486
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 4: be some sort of an off season. There's not is

487
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 4: there not that way anymore? And so it's a much

488
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 4: different feeling to just go from zero to nothing. Uh.

489
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 4: Then you know when we had a little bit of

490
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 4: a portal later in the year that and didn't it

491
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 4: didn't really this season didn't didn't take this long. I

492
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 4: mean like this is a long year. And I keep

493
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 4: telling people like this is a this is a such

494
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 4: a long year. It's such a long year. In college football.

495
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 4: You start in mid August and you go obviously into

496
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 4: you know, week zero, it's like the middle end of

497
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 4: August all the way till now. It's a long season,

498
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 4: and so there's no off season because it just happened

499
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 4: right now.

500
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 2: Right right.

501
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 3: The only bad thing is once it goes, it goes

502
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 3: for good, like you gotta it goes to the hibernation,

503
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 3: which is why the man we talk about all the time.

504
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 3: But gee, you gotta, you gotta switch the rules up. Man,

505
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 3: you gotta, you gotta change the portal dates and you

506
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 3: gotta come up with a schedule that works.

507
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I and this is what the coaches wanted. But

508
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 4: I think that you know, it's it uh not at

509
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 4: all or Organ lost, but you know they have two

510
00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 4: coaches that are currently you know, trying to do Organ's

511
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 4: job but also coaching at Kentucky and cal right right,

512
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 4: they're trying to get the portal players in. Like there's

513
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 4: there's a lot happening right now. If you are like

514
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 4: one of these, you know, if you're a coach on

515
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 4: any of these championship caliber teams, and it's hard to

516
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 4: do both jobs at the same time. You know, Signetti

517
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 4: is an article out this week, like he's the personnel guy,

518
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 4: but he doesn't really call offensive defense. He's just like

519
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 4: a coach, which is great. I mean, that's a great

520
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 4: thing for him in Indiana. But it's easier for a

521
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,199
Speaker 4: guy like that to manage this time of year than

522
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 4: it is for a lot of coaches that that also

523
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 4: call plays right, like you have. You know Will Stein,

524
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 4: who's Organs office cordinator is also Kentucky saying coach now

525
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 4: coach jobs at the same time. And I think that's

526
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 4: the reason why we lost last night. But I think

527
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 4: that it obviously makes it very difficult to do to

528
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 4: do your current job job to do Oh missus crazy.

529
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that was insane.

530
00:28:51,840 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 3: Imagine imagine if you're head coach for the playoffs, actually

531
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 3: concentrate on his defense because you know, ultimately why they

532
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 3: lost the game is they just got beat up defensively.

533
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, it's a shame, like the whole old

534
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 2: miss thing.

535
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 3: Man. Man, I tell you, who comes out looking the

536
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 3: worst is lame man.

537
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 4: But that's what he wants though. He wants he wants this.

538
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 4: He wants this.

539
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 3: Hey, By the way, I brought this up earlier because

540
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 3: we talked about and and IL stuff and from n

541
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 3: AL and college down to youth sports. So we do

542
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:46,239
Speaker 3: that before this show and Trinidad Shamblet's getting denied by

543
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 3: the NCAA is a joke. It's a flat out joke.

544
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 3: He's his first year, he red shirted. His second year

545
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 3: he was sick, but because he had a heart murmur,

546
00:29:58,680 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 3: it was a whole mess.

547
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 2: And because he was at a Division two.

548
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 3: School that didn't document it, right, he gets pedalized. The

549
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,719
Speaker 3: kid gets pedalized basically because he's a late bloomer. And

550
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 3: it's not like he's twenty seven years old either.

551
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 4: I think he's like twenty two, right, he's still young.

552
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 2: Three.

553
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm yeah, I'm yeah. Look, I actually took Chambluss

554
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 4: to go first overall. I mean, I feel dumb now

555
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 4: after Mendoza played, but I got seventy five to one.

556
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 4: I was like, look, he's almost denies of it. Who knows.

557
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 4: I Mendos are very clear it's going to one overall idea,

558
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 4: But that was something that I did look at because

559
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 4: Chamblus has played so well and he's he's a D

560
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 4: two kid man, He's gonna play better with more reps.

561
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 4: He hasn't played a lot exactly, which is crazy.

562
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, how could you deny him? That's the thing, like,

563
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 3: how do you eye him eligibility? It's very clearly the.

564
00:30:54,600 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 4: At suble A has like has no enforcement ever, and

565
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 4: when they find the sliver of ways they can have

566
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 4: some enforcement, they try to use it. And that this

567
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 4: is them trying to use the sliver enforcement they have

568
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 4: left because they have nothing else to do, right, uh,

569
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 4: and great.

570
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 2: Out of building all the time.

571
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 3: It's like they're there because of the high profile nature

572
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 3: of it.

573
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 4: Right, But they're trying that, right, But there they're trying

574
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 4: to to to have against some some control back is

575
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 4: what they're trying. That's what they're trying to do.

576
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 2: Right.

577
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 3: They need to go away and there needs to be

578
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 3: a new governing body there.

579
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 4: There does, but you need a c BA, which is

580
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 4: a whole other discussion to have here. But yes, it

581
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 4: does feel like that. It's just them give it, you know,

582
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:43,719
Speaker 4: trying their best to have again some sort of enforcement

583
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 4: in the sport because they have nothing else, right, you know,

584
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 4: even you know the nil contracts that are being you

585
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 4: know they're being done now, which had the story this

586
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 4: week of this washing quarterback and it's not it's for

587
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 4: it's just it's just contractual, Like there's there's nothing for

588
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 4: these guys to do. And NC double A is essentially

589
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 4: a tournament running business. They run the TMANDUS tournament, they

590
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 4: run all the posting tournaments. That's what they do now.

591
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 4: So if they have a tiny bit of enforcement left,

592
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 4: that's what that's what they use it, right. And Yeah,

593
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 4: if Chamblis want to go to court, I'm sure he'd win.

594
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 4: I don't know if he has the time for that

595
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 4: and energy for that. I mean they will at this

596
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 4: point though, they have to. He's going to make so

597
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 4: much money, so much more money. He's going to make

598
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 4: six million to go back to Ole Miss. He might,

599
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 4: but he might also be the first pick of the

600
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 4: send me the second pick of the draft to So

601
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 4: I'm curious to.

602
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 3: Sundin, so I made all pride. I was talking to GMS.

603
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 3: They're talking to like he's a second third round.

604
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 4: Pick, even after the last couple of weeks. Yep. So

605
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 4: I'm very curious because Nils changed a lot of this,

606
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,239
Speaker 4: like Dante Moore coming back, whoeveryone assumes the second pick

607
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 4: of the draft. I mean, there's a lot of things

608
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 4: he gonna work on. Like guys just are like coming.

609
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 4: I mean, you never would have thought a guy could

610
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 4: come back, you know, after you turning down the being

611
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 4: a top two pick. But it's a real thing, and that's.

612
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 3: It's not ed remotely writing for the NFL. But but

613
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 3: you could turn down being the second pick on the draft,

614
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 3: that's a question.

615
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 2: I wouldn't.

616
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 3: I wouldn't take him the second pick of the draft.

617
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 3: I think it's way too big of a risk. I

618
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 3: don't think so. Dude, I talked to I told the GM, uh, yes,

619
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 3: two days ago.

620
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 4: I mean every draft quarterbacks has them too, like, well,

621
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 4: they're here, you know, I don't know what they bet

622
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 4: with they're worth?

623
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 2: Those box drafts.

624
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 4: I mean I read a couple of them from people

625
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 4: that know. I don't read all of them. But I

626
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 4: feel like if I.

627
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 3: Talked to a GM, there's no way we were talking

628
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 3: about uh, these quarterbacks, because I I want to ask

629
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 3: him about Chadleis and what he thought.

630
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 2: Specifically, he says he's the second third round pick.

631
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 4: I don't think is ready to be the NFL quarterback,

632
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 4: but I think he will be drafted high if he

633
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 4: decides to come out.

634
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 3: Yeah I don't, I don't, I don't think so. But whatever,

635
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 3: I mean, it's best for the kid to go back,

636
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 3: that's for sure.

637
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 5: Oh.

638
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:04,479

Speaker 2: But this is it.

660
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 3: We got two games today, Rams Panthers, I guess talk

661
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 3: about this. The weather is it? That well the rain

662
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 3: blow out. Is it gonna be windy?

663
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 4: I mean it's it's supposed to have sort of like

664
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,760
Speaker 4: a summer storm feeling because it's it's a little warmer.

665
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 4: So they're saying, Wayne, this morning, thunderstorms, maybe this afternoon.

666
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 4: But thunder storms are very hit and miss, obviously, so

667
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 4: it seems like it's probably gonna be fine. Mean, look,

668
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 4: a lot of people I know are going today, and

669
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 4: I was like, I don't know if I'm not going.

670
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 4: If it's gonna rain, I think I think everyone's like,

671
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be fine. That might be so

672
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:55,919
Speaker 4: much ful thinking because they want to go to the game,

673
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 4: But I think it's gonna be fine by kick off.

674
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 4: It's not until four thirty obviously, and should be a

675
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 4: fun crowd.

676
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 3: Let's talk about it. Just we're gonna dive deeper. But

677
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 3: just from a Carolina standpoint, they have any shot. I mean,

678
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 3: I know they beat him before, but you know, I mean.

679
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 4: Shot, he's a shot. I think that the Panthers is

680
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 4: not as good as the Rams. Can they can they win? Yeah,

681
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 4: of course they can win. I think it'd be a

682
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,399
Speaker 4: They have to play a pretty perfect game to make

683
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,760
Speaker 4: that happen. And the first game we up over three times.

684
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 4: They're not going to turn them over three times again

685
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 4: in this game. So, I mean it's a very tall

686
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 4: task for Carolina to win, and I would expect the

687
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 4: Rams to handle the business. Handle their business today, is

688
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 4: my is how I look at the game?

689
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 2: Yeah?

690
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean when you when you stack it up, man,

691
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 3: I just don't know how they they You know, everything

692
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 3: went their way in that game, and it was a

693
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 3: regular season game, and you know better than any that

694
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 3: stuff happens in regular season that you just can't explain

695
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 3: that just because it's the nature of the sport, correct,

696
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 3: But in the playoffs, when everybody's you know, focused, heightened, Yes,

697
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 3: that's when you're bad. And that's why I look Devota

698
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 3: Adams is coming back. You know again, I don't see how.

699
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 3: I don't see this being the game. Do you see

700
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 3: the Rams even making it? I mean, do you see

701
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 3: Carolina covering.

702
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 4: Ten points a lot in the NFL in a playoff game?

703
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 4: But I would lean toward the Rams winning this game

704
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 4: before I lean to to winning and cover this game

705
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 4: before I would lean the other way.

706
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean, you know, it just feels like

707
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 3: a Rams and I know it's a ton of points

708
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 3: on the road, but I just don't.

709
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,240
Speaker 2: I don't say when the Rams are rolling.

710
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:58,359
Speaker 3: The game I can't wait for is tonight because I

711
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,280
Speaker 3: don't really have a feel for.

712
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 2: And do this to me. Just tell me how the

713
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 2: Packers are favored.

714
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 4: Well because the Bears. I just you look at the Bears,

715
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 4: and I think you look at where they are defensively,

716
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 4: and I was, so they lead the NFL takeaways, right,

717
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 4: They're thirty three when they turn them the ball over,

718
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 4: so when they force two or more turnovers are nine

719
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 4: to zero. When when they don't, they've lost all their games.

720
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 4: So farthest down they're two and six. Here's the deal.

721
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 4: Their fourth all time and most points allowed by a

722
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 4: team that led the NFL and turn and takeaways right,

723
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 4: and turnover margin and takeaways. The three teams below them

724
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 4: missed the playoffs after them missed the playoffs. So the

725
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 4: top six teams allowed the most points while leading the

726
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 4: NFL in takeaways five six did not make the playoffs.

727
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 4: At the Bears the two seed. I think that's why

728
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 4: a lot of it comes down to that they just

729
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 4: have a lot of flaws defensively and they're hidden by

730
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 4: turnovers and that that is typically a recipe for disaster.

731
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 4: When you get in the playoffs, when teams are a

732
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 4: little more focused, there's less turnovers right now? Can they?

733
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:19,800
Speaker 4: Can they force service today? Absolutely? Canbams also completes fifty

734
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 4: passes like this. It's not so those I think are why?

735
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,280
Speaker 4: There are why that Packers the favorite.

736
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 3: The only thing that I would say because I look

737
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 3: at it with Mica it makes sense to me. Without Micah,

738
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 3: I think the Bears, Like, I think the Bears win

739
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 3: the game and it has to do here, h you

740
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:47,720
Speaker 3: got the Green Bay. But yeah, I look at Micah.

741
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 3: It's a huge loss, like just a monstrous loss to

742
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,280
Speaker 3: their past rush and that defense.

743
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 4: Oh it's they passer has been pretty bad since he left. No,

744
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 4: I don't disagree with that, it's been pretty bad.

745
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

746
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 3: I guess that that's a big basis for me because

747
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 3: I think they lose a lot of teeth defensively, and

748
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,479
Speaker 3: I think Chicago will be able to move the ball.

749
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 4: Look, I mean Chicago. Their offensive line has been fantastic

750
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 4: this year. The investment they made on that size is

751
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,720
Speaker 4: really paid off. They run the ball well, their balance offense,

752
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 4: and the Packers defense since Michael Parsons has been out

753
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 4: has not been very good. And so I mean those

754
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 4: are all true, those are all true things. I'm just

755
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 4: fading the Bears sort of being here in the position

756
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 4: they are with a defense that's basically relying on turnovers only.

757
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,879
Speaker 3: All right, Well, we can dive deeper into dive deep

758
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,680

904
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 4: like we're gonna do things a little differently. I think

905
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 4: we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna professionalize a little bit

906
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 4: compared to where I think the program's at the moment.

907
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 2: That's great, that's great.

908
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:22,280
Speaker 3: Hey, all right, let's dive into I want to dive

909
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 3: into the coaching situation with you, all right, because of

910
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 3: all the vacancies.

911
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:29,760
Speaker 2: Let's start.

912
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 3: I want to start in Cleveland because shouldn't it be

913
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 3: a wake up call to the Browns that when they

914
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 3: let their coach go, there's an array of teams that

915
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:46,360
Speaker 3: want to hire him.

916
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean, I'm a big Steffan.

917
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 3: Listen, he's, you know, from my town, and and he's

918
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 3: he's just a great, really bright guy. So I'm a

919
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 3: big fan of Stefanski. But beyond that, the interest, everybody's

920
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:06,359
Speaker 3: got it open. He can't wait to talk to him.

921
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 3: And their first thing is, oh, well, it was Cleveland,

922
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 3: so it's impossible to win in Cleveland.

923
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 4: I actually think that it is possible winning Cleveland Becausetefanski

924
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 4: did it.

925
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:23,280
Speaker 2: He did. He won in Cleveland.

926
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 4: He won in Cleveland. That that is. That is the

927
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 4: number one thing that I think makes him a good

928
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 4: coach is that he took a losing franchise that has

929
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:40,280
Speaker 4: been a loser for since they returned back to Cleveland,

930
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 4: and he made them a winner for multiple years. And

931
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 4: what I find so fascinated about his firing, too is

932
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 4: the gleefulness with Browns fans cheered for it, and there

933
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 4: is even a wife of a player who subtweeted coach,

934
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 4: which I think that I think that's not the place

935
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 4: of a spouse of an NFL player. But that that

936
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 4: is where sometimes with some of the you know, spouse

937
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 4: on social media as much as they are, you know,

938
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 4: So you have player's wife's uptweeting the coach. You have

939
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 4: this whole flock, and sure, dear Sanders fans like over joined,

940
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 4: I'm like, buddy, you realize that new coach is gonna

941
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:15,839
Speaker 4: is not gonna want Sanders at all, Like I, at

942
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 4: least you had to coach at at least you know,

943
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 4: was part of a team that drafted him. And he'll

944
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 4: be hired immediately. He'll be good anywhere else he goes,

945
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 4: anywhere else he goes. And this is a year when

946
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 4: the coaching cannets are not great, right, I mean, look,

947
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,720
Speaker 4: if you rank coaching candidates right now that are actually

948
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 4: available in the NFL, Stefanski's probably what one two. I mean,

949
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 4: Harball might be yeah, yeah, but Harbaugh at sixty four

950
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 4: man doesn't coach offensive defense. I think Harbo's done a

951
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:43,879
Speaker 4: great job in Baltimore, but I don't know if he's

952
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:47,720
Speaker 4: as much. I know he's a great job. I Actually

953
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 4: I'll be ages. If the Raiders were smart, they would

954
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 4: call Signetti and they would say how much money do

955
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 4: you need coach Mendoza in the Silver and Black. You're good,

956
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 4: but right, they should make that call. No, I'm talking

957
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 4: about just hard like Stefanski, the youth of Stefanski. I

958
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:09,320
Speaker 4: think it's so. I'm not saying you can't hire a

959
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,919
Speaker 4: non offensive head head coach, but the concern I have

960
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 4: with hiring someone who's non offense coach. Again, there's plenty

961
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:18,360
Speaker 4: of examples of defense coaches that are really good, but

962
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,799
Speaker 4: you have to find the o C who's not gonna leave.

963
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 4: Because what happens is you bring in this defensive coach

964
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 4: and then you bring in the job here too, like

965
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:33,359
Speaker 4: you like Seattle, like like Kuback might get a job.

966
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 4: Now you've had this great year with Sam Darnold and

967
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 4: another offense coordinator in you know, Baker Mayfields like a

968
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:45,759
Speaker 4: seventh o C in a row, and well that right,

969
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 4: but that's Sirianni's offensive guy. That really should be the case,

970
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:51,279
Speaker 4: but they've had guys he can't call play.

971
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 3: That's my biggest beef with Nick is that he's a

972
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:56,959
Speaker 3: CEO coach who came from the offensive side of the ball.

973
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 4: It's my I totally agree with you on that. At

974
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 4: and the best way to do it is to have

975
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:05,879
Speaker 4: Rabel McDaniels wos not getting another job anywhere, like.

976
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:06,399
Speaker 2: You have to pay.

977
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 4: They're a pair together. So that's my point. If you'll

978
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:13,399
Speaker 4: hire Harball, let's say, and I don't know anywhere the giants, right,

979
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 4: and he gets to work with Jackson Dart and you

980
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 4: bring in a hot young oc who does really well

981
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 4: in year one, that coach is getting a job a

982
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 4: year two, a head coaching job. And so that's my

983
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 4: concern about hiring a non offensive coach. But se Fancy's

984
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:26,719
Speaker 4: not that problem. He will call the offense again. He

985
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 4: didn't leave them this year, I think because just was

986
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 4: hoping to to spark something there. And so yeah, it's

987
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 4: not good when you fire your coach and everyone else

988
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:36,720
Speaker 4: wants to hire him. And so there's some fascinating hires

989
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 4: coming up because it's not a great coaching pool man

990
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 4: like I appreciate Matt Naggi for the growth he has

991
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 4: tried to bring to himself. There's a story out there

992
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:48,319
Speaker 4: that he went and saw that Laura Oakum who used

993
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 4: to be a silent reporter and she has run a

994
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:56,879
Speaker 4: company now that gathers intel for future coaches they talked

995
00:52:56,880 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 4: to forty anonymous people. Now Matt nag he told, you know,

996
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 4: told Laura in her company about the forty people. He

997
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,839
Speaker 4: wanted to participate in this, But they take anonymous quotes

998
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 4: from the people. You provide about your job as a

999
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 4: previous head coach, and now he had to listen to

1000
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 4: everything people said about him and to try to make

1001
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:13,799
Speaker 4: him a better coach. But I love that he did that.

1002
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:16,439
Speaker 4: But no man even means to strikes like a hot

1003
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 4: coaching candidate. But that's where it's where the support is

1004
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 4: right now. So that's why Stefanski, Harbaugh and Michael McCarthy

1005
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:25,759
Speaker 4: Maeber are so sought after. It's not a great year,

1006
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,839
Speaker 4: in my opinion, to hire a coach, and it makes

1007
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 4: this cycle so interesting to me.

1008
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 3: It is, it's it's fascinating. Let's go, let's kind of

1009
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:42,920
Speaker 3: go opening by opening. So if you're at Atlanta, where

1010
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:45,399
Speaker 3: are you looking like? To me, it's an obvious thing

1011
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:48,319
Speaker 3: that that's where I think Stefansk would be great at

1012
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 3: Where in Atlanta?

1013
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 4: Uh? Yeah, with with that, with that group, and they

1014
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:57,359
Speaker 4: were sort of run that offense already, his offense sort

1015
00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 4: of already in Atlanta. Yeah, I mean you know the

1016
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 4: openings right now, what do you rank number one as

1017
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 4: well the Ravens because you have Lamar, well, you.

1018
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 3: Have great you have great ownership. But you know, I

1019
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 3: mean you got to ask yourself about the future of Lamar.

1020
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 2: I do twenty nine and.

1021
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 4: You know, look, look, I'm not a fan.

1022
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 2: Sheeased to run.

1023
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:28,799
Speaker 4: I'm not a I'm not a fan of the like

1024
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,879
Speaker 4: the quarterback wins discussion, right, like, oh, this quarterback has

1025
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 4: more where but but John Harbaugh was more successful in

1026
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 4: the NFL and the post is in with with Joe

1027
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,839
Speaker 4: Flacco like that that that's the actual thing, right, And

1028
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:44,799
Speaker 4: Lamar just hasn't been as good in some of those games. Now,

1029
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 4: it's not all his fault, right that the fumble against

1030
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 4: the Hollywood Brown fund was Hollyward Brown fumball, the Flowers

1031
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 4: fumble whatever it was against against the you know, the

1032
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 4: and the drops here and there. But like, it just

1033
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,360
Speaker 4: hasn't been as good as a postseason and you're to

1034
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 4: your point, he's if he's gonna get beat up every year,

1035
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 4: which has been a three the last four years has

1036
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 4: been super beat up, the one year getting an MVP. Like,

1037
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 4: good friend, he's incredible quarterback but there when when when

1038
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 4: Harbut gets fired and the report is sort of out

1039
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 4: like the new coach has to like reinvigorate Lamar Jackson.

1040
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 3: And you're like, oh god, I don't want to hear that,

1041
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 3: you know, Like Wells, by the way, did you see

1042
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:22,160
Speaker 3: the injurior report ch like he went it was knee,

1043
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 3: it was ankle, it was back.

1044
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:29,280
Speaker 2: Did you notice that during this season with Lamar?

1045
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, obviously there was there was a

1046
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 3: beef fare and you know Harbor was getting frustrated with him,

1047
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 3: and look, I'm a Lamar fan, so I like him.

1048
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 3: I you know, the only thing if you're going to

1049
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 3: go in there, you got to ask yourself is if

1050
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 3: he can't run, how how what does.

1051
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 2: That do to his game?

1052
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:01,840
Speaker 4: It would be.

1053
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 2: Like how much of a hit does it take?

1054
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:11,919
Speaker 4: It changes? I mean there was talk about playing Tyler

1055
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 4: Huntley over him because the run game was so But

1056
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 4: now I think the new coach is going to come

1057
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 4: in and design an offense that doesn't include Lamar's legs.

1058
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 4: I think you have to eliminate that from the offensive design.

1059
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 2: I completely agree, And you gotta get another receiver.

1060
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:27,319
Speaker 4: Now you can still have it as a change up

1061
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:29,800
Speaker 4: like Josh Allen's gonna run a lot on Saturday. On Sunday,

1062
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 4: he's gonna run a lot, right, But like, yeah, he

1063
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 4: doesn't do that until the postseason.

1064
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 2: You can still be.

1065
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:37,279
Speaker 4: Part of the offense three or four times a game,

1066
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 4: but the offense has to be built like a professional

1067
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 4: offense and not an offense built around Lamar's legs. And

1068
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,959
Speaker 4: that's the more change in Baltimore that that has to happen.

1069
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:52,320
Speaker 2: Agreed.

1070
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:57,800
Speaker 3: I like Baltimore is a job for his world's great ownership.

1071
00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 3: But shot, he's a great owner, so you got you

1072
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 3: got good ownership. But they are a team in fucks right.

1073
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:09,879
Speaker 3: I mean I look talent wise, I mean I'm looking

1074
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 3: at Atlanta. I got Bijon Drake London. I mean, look,

1075
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 3: Kyle Pitts had a had a nice year. I'm a Panics.

1076
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:20,960
Speaker 3: I like Panics. I think you get the right guy

1077
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 3: in there. I think Panics could flourish, could flourish, Uh Giants.

1078
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 3: I mean I think you know you know better anybody.

1079
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:35,120
Speaker 3: I like where they're at. I think Jackson Dart has

1080
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 3: to stop running the way he does. But I like,

1081
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 3: you know, I like where they're at. I think you

1082
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 3: know you got talent there, it's New York. I mean

1083
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 3: I think that's an attractive job. Good ownership, I think so. Yes,

1084
00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 3: I think those are your kind of three plump jobs.

1085
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:04,440
Speaker 3: I think Harball makes it makes sense. Harble Stefanski in

1086
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 3: New York, Uh Stefanski in Atlanta, Blar is interesting.

1087
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. Yeah, profiles there.

1088
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 4: So how attractive is the Raiders job if you know

1089
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 4: you're getting Mendoza?

1090
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 3: The only problem, the only problems stinks. It's bad, man. Yeah,

1091
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:34,840
Speaker 3: you got to redo your whole line, like and it's great.

1092
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 3: I got a quarterback. My old line is terrible, and then.

1093
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:41,760
Speaker 4: Your best player is uh, you know, like Crows. Crosby

1094
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 4: probably wants out unless I mean you could a new

1095
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 4: coach might change.

1096
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 2: About reinvigorating him. But your your old line, it's awful.

1097
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 3: Like what's that going to do for a young quy

1098
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:53,919
Speaker 3: Like I don't want Mendoza playing behind that line.

1099
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, it will take two years to fix. This is

1100
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 4: why dude, I was so firm and wanting them to

1101
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 4: draft offensive liignment instead of drafting freaking genty.

1102
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 3: Right, they don't want to listen to me. Well, you're right,

1103
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:15,080
Speaker 3: you know what good is? What good is action gent

1104
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:17,120
Speaker 3: when you don't have anybody to block?

1105
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:19,600
Speaker 4: So here so here's so this is an interesting thing

1106
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 4: about the draft. So I know, I know someone in

1107
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 4: the Raiders' organization. I was talking to them a couple

1108
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 4: of months ago about just guys for this class, but

1109
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 4: but just the idea of like of what what the

1110
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 4: why they draft the gent And he said that they

1111
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 4: had him graded so high that the value of him

1112
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 4: at six made a lost sense for them. And Okay,

1113
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 4: I get the board right, like staying sick on the board.

1114
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 4: I get that that philosophy. But I counter with like, look, man,

1115
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 4: you need guys to block for them for him, Like,

1116
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:55,480
Speaker 4: what's the purpose of having Genty if you no one

1117
00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 4: to block for the guy you drafted? He's like, He's like,

1118
00:59:57,840 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 4: that makes a lot of sense. But again, like our valu,

1119
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 4: you just was too high on Genty to let him drop.

1120
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 4: And we looked at the rest of the running backs

1121
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 4: and where the offensive line we're at, and we figured

1122
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 4: that we can get away with with with doing that.

1123
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:10,320
Speaker 4: I think they regret that because very clearly they didn't

1124
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 4: get away with it, right, Like you waste an entire

1125
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 4: season of Ashton Genty, so you know what a block for.

1126
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 3: Him, right right. I mean that's why it's backwards. We

1127
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 3: talked about ass backwards, right, Like that's where that's where

1128
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 3: that is with these teams and like and you saw

1129
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 3: those mistakes years ago in the past, like you don't

1130
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 3: usually see them now. You usually you know, teams are

1131
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 3: are savvy enough to understand that most teams are that

1132
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 3: You've got to get your you know, you got to

1133
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 3: build your trenches, build inside out, and it's the only

1134
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:47,680
Speaker 3: way to build a team. It's it, you know, a

1135
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 3: quarterback and the running backs and all of your skill

1136
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:52,840
Speaker 3: guys got to come last.

1137
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 2: Or at least after the old line. You know, you

1138
01:00:57,880 --> 01:00:58,760
Speaker 2: just do your quarterback.

1139
01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:03,760
Speaker 3: Such a disservice, I agree, you know, all right, let's

1140
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 3: say quick t o, we'll come back. Well, what would

1141
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:12,120
Speaker 3: you choe? I'm curious if you were a coach, where

1142
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 3: would be your first sesssination? And if you were an owner,

1143
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 3: who would be here? How would you rank the candidates?

1144
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:25,960
Speaker 3: And then what's going on in Washington That's another place

1145
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 3: that's got issues where the fellas right here?

1157
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:27,920
Speaker 3: to Becker. Second down at actually three man, here's the

1158
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:30,440
Speaker 3: staff back and Fernando again looks to throw it.

1159
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 2: Now he's going deep, way deep.

1160
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:35,320
Speaker 1: Man, touches mad what.

1161
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 2: Just hold tickers in stores? Route was on for the Hoosiers.

1162
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 2: That was what a throw man that can't just.

1163
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:57,640
Speaker 3: Five touchdowns only has to throw for a buck seventy seven,

1164
01:02:57,760 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 3: but throws five touch ups with.

1165
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:01,280
Speaker 4: The performers so on target man, it was.

1166
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 2: It was good man, yeah, buddy man.

1167
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 4: Really one of the great performance you'll ever see.

1168
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:12,400
Speaker 3: All right, let's put in bed. Let's let finish up

1169
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 3: this discussion about the coaches. So first of all, you

1170
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 3: look at these jobs Arizona, Cleveland Raiders like there's some

1171
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:30,400
Speaker 3: bad Now if the Jets decide to deal with they two. Two,

1172
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:34,440
Speaker 3: you're talking about the worst organizations in football. Now the

1173
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 3: Raiders are a little different in that it's Vegas. Brad's

1174
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:42,439
Speaker 3: now a part of it, so it's it's a little

1175
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:48,320
Speaker 3: bit better. But this franchise has been getting killed. Which

1176
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 3: team you said, Raiders?

1177
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:55,760
Speaker 4: The look the Raiders, and then Doozo will be a

1178
01:03:55,800 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 4: great addition for them. He is a generations too much.

1179
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:04,520
Speaker 4: He's very accurate, right, and he's gonna be a great

1180
01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:06,680
Speaker 4: addition for them. But the problem is is that the

1181
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:09,880
Speaker 4: roster is in a very bad place. And I know

1182
01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 4: it's by texts now second season and have to figure

1183
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:13,400
Speaker 4: that part out of it.

1184
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:14,439
Speaker 2: But they're there.

1185
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:17,680
Speaker 4: What do you think two years away from being like

1186
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 4: competitive for a wild card spot. I mean they're who

1187
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 4: are like the the blue chip prospects on this team?

1188
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 4: The answer is Max Crosby, who's old or right and

1189
01:04:34,440 --> 01:04:37,840
Speaker 4: gent probably right. That's two brought brock powers.

1190
01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 5: Three.

1191
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:40,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got a great h that's it.

1192
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:44,200
Speaker 4: Colton Miller is okay, but he's thirty at left tackle

1193
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:47,320
Speaker 4: and he's getting injured every year. JPJ might be a

1194
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 4: building blocking the offensive line. That's it. So I'm very

1195
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:54,720
Speaker 4: curious what they do here with free agency and in

1196
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 4: the draft, because are they going to go forward? Effingencies

1197
01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:59,960
Speaker 4: add sort of you know, the players at a player

1198
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 4: and then Mendoz, Look, Mendoz is good man. Again. The

1199
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:05,880
Speaker 4: only thing I worry about is the you know, the

1200
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:08,120
Speaker 4: whole full spectrum of throws gets to making the NFL

1201
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:09,840
Speaker 4: and you have to do to Indiana. But I don't.

1202
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 4: I don't think that's because he can't do. I think

1203
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:13,680
Speaker 4: he can't. It's not what the Indian offense is.

1204
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:19,040
Speaker 2: So which of those jobs?

1205
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:22,960
Speaker 3: Because you can, like Arizona, like when you have any

1206
01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:24,960
Speaker 3: any interesting going to Arizona.

1207
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:26,880
Speaker 2: Cleveland, that's a problem.

1208
01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:31,240
Speaker 4: Arizona the no quarterback right now, Cleveland no quarterback. Also,

1209
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:34,640
Speaker 4: just like bad ownership, I mean that bat matters bad

1210
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 4: ownership better. So it's all those you all those things,

1211
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:41,040
Speaker 4: all those things are important when we talk about, you know,

1212
01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:44,000
Speaker 4: where where teams are at and how Tyler looked at

1213
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 4: I don't think the money is that is that different all.

1214
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:47,520
Speaker 4: But it's not like college football, when the money might

1215
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:49,800
Speaker 4: be so much different in L S u versus a

1216
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:55,960
Speaker 4: mid major. It's it's just a spot where uh, you know,

1217
01:05:56,040 --> 01:05:58,440
Speaker 4: the ownership and quarterback, quarterback. But this is one of

1218
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:02,040
Speaker 4: the Giants are so I think such a hot commodity

1219
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:04,240
Speaker 4: because Jackson Dart such a good football player. Right, It's

1220
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:05,640
Speaker 4: why I think Tennessee.

1221
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:07,800
Speaker 2: Got the league neighbors. I think even you got to

1222
01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 2: you got some good talent on the D line. I mean,

1223
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 2: I that's a good job, I know.

1224
01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:16,960
Speaker 4: And I also think that the Titans we looked at

1225
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:19,920
Speaker 4: a little more favorably because of cam Mood being there,

1226
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:23,840
Speaker 4: and so all those things play a big role obviously

1227
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:29,040
Speaker 4: in how we look at at at these these these

1228
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:31,480
Speaker 4: job openings. You know, salary cap quarterback.

1229
01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:41,840
Speaker 3: So there's not enough coaches, premium coaches. Right, if you're

1230
01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:52,440
Speaker 3: if you know, rank K your candidates, who Stefanski one,

1231
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:55,600
Speaker 3: Harball one one A. How do you want to do it?

1232
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:06,440
Speaker 4: Probably mister fancy my number one candidate. Probably probably Stefani

1233
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:09,840
Speaker 4: we number one candidate. I think that's where I would

1234
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:15,440
Speaker 4: go with this because I think that when you win

1235
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:19,000
Speaker 4: the way he did that, it gives you an opportunity.

1236
01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:22,680
Speaker 4: To me that that's where I think that his ability

1237
01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:27,880
Speaker 4: to win in Cleveland will translate well elsewhere. Probably Harbaugh too,

1238
01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:33,120
Speaker 4: there's gonna be like a coordinator that, you know, like

1239
01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:39,120
Speaker 4: a mentor or a Koubiac that kind of comes out.

1240
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:40,480
Speaker 4: I know where I feel like that it's gonna be

1241
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a good coach, you know. The other

1242
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:45,720
Speaker 4: the other options are like a Brian Flores and Ryan

1243
01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 4: if it's Patrick if you've heard about talk about him

1244
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:52,920
Speaker 4: and not very glowing light. You know, I don't think

1245
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:54,280
Speaker 4: Kingsbury is a great option.

1246
01:07:56,040 --> 01:08:01,120
Speaker 2: What I like Kingsbury? Man, I don't know what happened

1247
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:02,919
Speaker 2: to watch him? First of all? Did gee?

1248
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:07,400
Speaker 3: I didn't get their whole direction here they have you know,

1249
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 3: they look at Daniels and they go, all right, we

1250
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:10,560
Speaker 3: got the more rookie deal.

1251
01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:14,960
Speaker 2: Let's go for it. But what their movies were horrible.

1252
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:16,880
Speaker 2: I remember talking to you about it. I don't like

1253
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:21,240
Speaker 2: what they did. They got old and they didn't get

1254
01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:21,800
Speaker 2: very good.

1255
01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:29,920
Speaker 4: My guess is they were they want a different set

1256
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 4: of offense for Tradon Daniels. That that's my guess. It's

1257
01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:41,599
Speaker 4: sort of the same idea of the Lamar like Lamar Jackson,

1258
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:44,040
Speaker 4: Like we talked about changing the offense for Lamar. I

1259
01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:48,040
Speaker 4: wonder if that was part of it with they're like, look,

1260
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:50,240
Speaker 4: we can't have this offense where Daniels was running so much,

1261
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:54,559
Speaker 4: we had something and look Clift Kingsbury. Everywhere he has been,

1262
01:08:55,400 --> 01:09:00,360
Speaker 4: they have gotten worse, like over the year. That's that's

1263
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:02,439
Speaker 4: the very thing. They start fast every year. Now, last year,

1264
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four was the only year of his career

1265
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 4: essentially where the team did not get worse throughout the season.

1266
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:11,400
Speaker 4: And that's I don't think it mattered this season because

1267
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:13,599
Speaker 4: Daniel's was hurt. But I do think.

1268
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 3: That that Quinn looked at it and thought, look, we

1269
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:20,200
Speaker 3: played such a bad game that you know, it was

1270
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:22,760
Speaker 3: such a bad season this year, we just got to

1271
01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:23,280
Speaker 3: start fresh.

1272
01:09:23,360 --> 01:09:26,040
Speaker 4: He fired as his DC, he fired as OC. It

1273
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:28,720
Speaker 4: felt like that that that was very much like we did.

1274
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 2: He's get an issue with the front office.

1275
01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:36,200
Speaker 4: Well I didn't see that. What was that, Well, there's up.

1276
01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:39,679
Speaker 2: He'll everywhere, so whatever within that organization.

1277
01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:43,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I think I was saying about this the

1278
01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:46,880
Speaker 4: other day and this this that's really relate to Quinn

1279
01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:48,680
Speaker 4: as much unless he's on the hot seat, but it

1280
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:52,120
Speaker 4: relates to Todd Bowles and actually your Eagles are the

1281
01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:55,560
Speaker 4: example that people gave me. So I don't think you know,

1282
01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:59,679
Speaker 4: firing both coordinators feels like desperation move, in my opinion,

1283
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:01,639
Speaker 4: a lot of times to start to save your job.

1284
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:03,640
Speaker 4: And we know that's happening in Tampa Bay where they

1285
01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:06,080
Speaker 4: fired their OC and Boll's trying to save this job.

1286
01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:08,400
Speaker 4: I put out to social media, Hey, like, tell me

1287
01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:10,720
Speaker 4: when this has actually worked, and the answer was the

1288
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:13,120
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three Eagles, right or twenty four Eagles. They

1289
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:16,680
Speaker 4: fired both their coordinators and they brought in Kellen Moore.

1290
01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:18,759
Speaker 4: They brought in Vic Fangio. So that's a great example

1291
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:21,360
Speaker 4: of it working. The Giants or Tom Cofflin did it

1292
01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:23,960
Speaker 4: before their first Super Bowl. But there's a lot of

1293
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:28,879
Speaker 4: firing your coaches. You you're OCDC, man, that just signals

1294
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:33,640
Speaker 4: to me that you're in full panic mode and that

1295
01:10:34,320 --> 01:10:37,360
Speaker 4: that is to me a sign that you're like sort

1296
01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:39,880
Speaker 4: of on your way out as a head coach. I mean,

1297
01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:44,280
Speaker 4: year two, dan Quinn is firing both coordinators right that,

1298
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:48,160
Speaker 4: I don't get a great feeling about his future there.

1299
01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:51,640
Speaker 3: If that's what we're doing. Yeah, no, I I and

1300
01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:55,639
Speaker 3: I feel you and listen. It failed for the Eagles

1301
01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:59,600
Speaker 3: under Doug Peterson. He had to get rid of both coordinators.

1302
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:02,519
Speaker 3: Want a Super Bowl though, you know what happened. That's

1303
01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:04,880
Speaker 3: why he wind up why they wound up firing him.

1304
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:08,600
Speaker 4: And well he wouldn't he wouldn't do it right, That

1305
01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:12,920
Speaker 4: was wooden fire fires coordinators. I feel like Doug Peterson

1306
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:14,720
Speaker 4: just sort of like gets forgot about him. He won

1307
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:17,600
Speaker 4: a Super Bowl, jeesus, and Philly fans hate him. He

1308
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:21,360
Speaker 4: brought you a super Bowl, Philly fans. Why the Philly

1309
01:11:21,400 --> 01:11:22,559
Speaker 4: fans don't like Peterson?

1310
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:23,160
Speaker 2: Do they know?

1311
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:26,479
Speaker 4: They love Doug well, but social media is not a

1312
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:30,400
Speaker 4: great example. They no, they they did not.

1313
01:11:30,520 --> 01:11:35,480
Speaker 3: Dougy loved Doug. No, Doug was Do you think special,

1314
01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:37,720
Speaker 3: you know, like there was a statue of him.

1315
01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:41,280
Speaker 4: Do you think that when Sirianni eventually gets fired that

1316
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:43,760
Speaker 4: Eagle fans will will kind of come around on him

1317
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:44,320
Speaker 4: or not at all?

1318
01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 2: He's interesting, man, He's an interesting dude because the.

1319
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:55,679
Speaker 3: Record is unquestionable, right, Like he's ridiculous, like the winning

1320
01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 3: he wins at such a great clip, and he does

1321
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:01,519
Speaker 3: a lot of good things, like he's he really has

1322
01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:07,720
Speaker 3: a good pulse of the room. He you know, he

1323
01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:13,479
Speaker 3: understands you know, listen, he got them last year. They

1324
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:16,560
Speaker 3: they became one of the best tackling teams. He was

1325
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:20,479
Speaker 3: not a good they were not good tackling team, and

1326
01:12:23,680 --> 01:12:27,200
Speaker 3: they started tackling more in practice. They started they changed

1327
01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:32,120
Speaker 3: their physicality, you know, and they got better last year

1328
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:33,920
Speaker 3: on there that like he does things like that.

1329
01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:37,960
Speaker 2: The issue with him is he's not like he's not.

1330
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:44,960
Speaker 3: The bright McVeigh, Shanahan that guy, right, He's just not

1331
01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:48,960
Speaker 3: that guy. He struggled as a play caller, gave it

1332
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:52,400
Speaker 3: up to Shane Steike and and then when Shane Stykeer

1333
01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:56,320
Speaker 3: got a head job, it reverted back to him, like

1334
01:12:56,479 --> 01:12:58,800
Speaker 3: he bought Brian Johnson. And that's what you're referring to.

1335
01:12:58,920 --> 01:13:04,080
Speaker 3: When he fired Brian, Brian kind of failed and and

1336
01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:09,160
Speaker 3: and Nick was with him and it just was a Mets.

1337
01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:11,479
Speaker 3: So they had to bring Callum Moore in because Callen

1338
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:14,160
Speaker 3: there's out of call plays. And kind of the same

1339
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 3: thing has happened this year in that they have a

1340
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:19,519
Speaker 3: dynamic offense, right.

1341
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:22,760
Speaker 2: Like the Hurts, Barkley, A. J.

1342
01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:26,599
Speaker 3: Brown, Devonte Schmid, Dallas got a tight end and even

1343
01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:28,680
Speaker 3: though their line is banged up and not what it

1344
01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:31,120
Speaker 3: was last year, it's still a decent line.

1345
01:13:31,240 --> 01:13:31,360
Speaker 5: Right.

1346
01:13:31,640 --> 01:13:34,840
Speaker 4: This offense, this offense should score way more points.

1347
01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:38,160
Speaker 3: It's it's should it should I mean the last time

1348
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:41,800
Speaker 3: they played, they didn't get it first down. They won

1349
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:43,400
Speaker 3: the game, but they didn't get a first down the

1350
01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:47,320
Speaker 3: entire second half. Yeah, Dyalen hearts a completed a pass,

1351
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:50,639
Speaker 3: Like when's that? That happened twice this year. We went

1352
01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:53,640
Speaker 3: the entire second half without completing a pass and they

1353
01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:58,360
Speaker 3: didn't get a first down, right, Like that never happens.

1354
01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:01,400
Speaker 3: But that's the state to this offense. And then they

1355
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:04,000
Speaker 3: leaned into this thing of well, we're not going to

1356
01:14:04,080 --> 01:14:11,120
Speaker 3: turn the ball over. I I I believe that.

1357
01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:14,640
Speaker 4: Not all interceptions are creating equal and it's okay to

1358
01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:18,720
Speaker 4: throw some interceptions, right, it's okay to to do that,

1359
01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:21,200
Speaker 4: and and to like take some chances offensively. And so

1360
01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:24,280
Speaker 4: you got to take some chances offensively and that that

1361
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:27,360
Speaker 4: that is some turnovers that that that's fine, but you

1362
01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:29,400
Speaker 4: have to try, Like if you don't try like that,

1363
01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:31,800
Speaker 4: that's where you get into into issues. And and you know,

1364
01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:33,479
Speaker 4: the idea of not trying the ball, yeah, it's great,

1365
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:35,760
Speaker 4: it's great in theory, but that means you're not really trying,

1366
01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:38,080
Speaker 4: like you're not really trying to make putt on the field.

1367
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:41,080
Speaker 3: And we call the cowards draw you know, it's third

1368
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:44,120
Speaker 3: and twelve and it's like, you know, I'm gonna run

1369
01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:48,000
Speaker 3: and punt, like what kind of plants that it's so good.

1370
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:49,680
Speaker 3: I guess you can do that sometimes, but I just

1371
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:51,960
Speaker 3: don't like and they've won a lot of rock fights.

1372
01:14:52,439 --> 01:14:55,160
Speaker 3: Let's uh, let's take quick t o. We'll come back

Speaker 3: find today's full show posted right after we get off

1385
01:15:56,680 --> 01:16:03,320
Speaker 3: the air. Just to put a kind of the you

1386
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:07,559
Speaker 3: were asking about the Eagles, there's two school of thoughts

1387
01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:10,360
Speaker 3: as they headed into their game against San Francisco, and

1388
01:16:10,439 --> 01:16:12,200
Speaker 3: we're gonna dive into all of them coming up in

1389
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:17,640
Speaker 3: about ten minutes. But there's two schools of thought that

1390
01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:21,839
Speaker 3: this offense has underperformed. They're now going against the Niners

1391
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:26,559
Speaker 3: defense that's completely depleted, that has no pass rush.

1392
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:29,519
Speaker 2: So there's no excuse for the Eagles offense.

1393
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:33,880
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they put up in the twenty es correct, yes, absolutely,

1394
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:38,600
Speaker 3: all right, And so if that doesn't happen, and this

1395
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:44,680
Speaker 3: is not a people are expecting to run right, Like,

1396
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:50,000
Speaker 3: all right, you're Defennie Champs. You got a pretty decent

1397
01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 3: like now, if Chicago wins, you go to Chicago, which is,

1398
01:16:55,960 --> 01:17:00,280
Speaker 3: like you said, is a soft two seed. And if

1399
01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:04,200
Speaker 3: the if the Green Bay wins, likely you get the

1400
01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:07,400
Speaker 3: Rams Cup, but you get a home game, another home game.

1401
01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:11,520
Speaker 3: So you're expecting a run from the defending champions.

1402
01:17:12,960 --> 01:17:16,200
Speaker 4: Yeah. Look, it's the Eagles. It's it's good verse good

1403
01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:18,519
Speaker 4: right and bad verse bad. It's it's the Niners offense,

1404
01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:21,280
Speaker 4: Eagles defense, and Eagles offense first, Niners defense. And if

1405
01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:23,679
Speaker 4: the Eagles, the Eagles can knock anything going on offense,

1406
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:29,679
Speaker 4: it's got problems, man, because it's gonna be the boot

1407
01:17:29,680 --> 01:17:31,679
Speaker 4: Bog's gonna be out fast. I mean, the Niners defense,

1408
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:33,679
Speaker 4: doesn't it cannot rush the past. It's it's just not good.

1409
01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:39,320
Speaker 3: It's not your best pass rusher is Bryce Huff, who

1410
01:17:39,479 --> 01:17:46,439
Speaker 3: is a failed free agent signing in Philadelphia. Correct, you know,

1411
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:50,200
Speaker 3: I mean so there's a lot of talk that if

1412
01:17:50,439 --> 01:17:54,400
Speaker 3: this is a flame out early, that the o C

1413
01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:59,400
Speaker 3: gets fired or replaced. And then you're talking about you know,

1414
01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:03,840
Speaker 3: now you're active and having a discussion about Sirianne. Not

1415
01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:08,040
Speaker 3: that they're gonna make a move, but he was as

1416
01:18:08,160 --> 01:18:11,560
Speaker 3: close as you can get to being fired during the

1417
01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:14,120
Speaker 3: bye week last year, that I know for a fact.

1418
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:17,160
Speaker 4: And then they won fifteen games in a row, right,

1419
01:18:18,960 --> 01:18:19,360
Speaker 4: they won.

1420
01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:23,519
Speaker 3: They won because of their defense and Vic Fangio, who

1421
01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:24,880
Speaker 3: has his special you.

1422
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:25,920
Speaker 2: Know, he's a cook like you.

1423
01:18:26,439 --> 01:18:30,560
Speaker 4: Vic Fangio. He is, Oh nice, he does his special meatballs.

1424
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:32,040
Speaker 4: Oh sounds good.

1425
01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:37,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got his family, grandfather's grandparents passed down the recipe.

1426
01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:38,839
Speaker 4: Sounds delicious.

1427
01:18:39,280 --> 01:18:42,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's on the what's on your menu tonight?

Speaker 2: three kicks off in Carolina.

1482
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:52,600
Speaker 3: Rams Panthers, Yes, and then in icy, frigid Chicago the

1483
01:21:53,640 --> 01:21:56,799
Speaker 3: legendary teams of the Packers and Bears.

1484
01:21:56,880 --> 01:21:58,799
Speaker 2: I mean, this is NFL film stuff.

1485
01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:03,800
Speaker 4: Jeff, it's a fantastic weekend of NFL football lined up

1486
01:22:03,840 --> 01:22:07,640
Speaker 4: for us, and it starts with, you know, look the

1487
01:22:07,880 --> 01:22:11,800
Speaker 4: the NFC South tippolize one South team is playing North

1488
01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:15,080
Speaker 4: or South is playing in typically this first game of today.

1489
01:22:15,160 --> 01:22:18,400
Speaker 4: And then, I mean, dude, tell you what, even I

1490
01:22:18,439 --> 01:22:20,920
Speaker 4: don't think people talking about this game like Bill's Jaguars man,

1491
01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:22,920
Speaker 4: like that's gonna be a great He's all gonna be

1492
01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:26,400
Speaker 4: fantastic games four of the six or within a field

1493
01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:29,400
Speaker 4: goal of the points spread at the moment. Obviously your

1494
01:22:29,479 --> 01:22:31,439
Speaker 4: game the Eagles and Ninos got steemed down a little

1495
01:22:31,479 --> 01:22:33,320
Speaker 4: bit there, or the game today the first game is

1496
01:22:33,360 --> 01:22:35,760
Speaker 4: a big points spread. But the NFL playoffs, and what

1497
01:22:35,920 --> 01:22:39,120
Speaker 4: makes this year in my book, at least right now,

1498
01:22:39,439 --> 01:22:41,560
Speaker 4: so unique is the fact that it does feel like

1499
01:22:42,280 --> 01:22:45,000
Speaker 4: it's sort of anyone's game. I like Jacksonville, I think,

1500
01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:47,400
Speaker 4: and I think I like the Rams, but I don't

1501
01:22:47,400 --> 01:22:51,360
Speaker 4: know if Denver or the Eagles or so. I mean,

1502
01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:53,200
Speaker 4: I wouldn't surprise me if any of these teams made it.

1503
01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:55,400
Speaker 4: Because it's such a wide open year in the NFL.

1504
01:22:55,479 --> 01:22:57,320
Speaker 4: Is no Mahomes, no Tom Brady. I mean, these are

1505
01:22:57,320 --> 01:22:59,720
Speaker 4: the guys that we have won the AFC essentially nine

1506
01:22:59,760 --> 01:23:02,560
Speaker 4: percent of the AFC for the last twenty years, and

1507
01:23:02,640 --> 01:23:04,160
Speaker 4: then they're out of the postseason.

1508
01:23:05,240 --> 01:23:05,560
Speaker 2: E's in.

1509
01:23:05,680 --> 01:23:10,120
Speaker 3: This though, a very important time for the Bills because

1510
01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:13,639
Speaker 3: there's no Mahomes, Like you said, there's no Lamar, there's

1511
01:23:13,720 --> 01:23:17,040
Speaker 3: no Burrow, you know. I mean, I think Jacksonville is

1512
01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:20,280
Speaker 3: good too. But if you're the Bills and you've been

1513
01:23:20,360 --> 01:23:23,479
Speaker 3: waiting and this has been your you know, this is

1514
01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:25,479
Speaker 3: your time. This is Josh Allen's time.

1515
01:23:26,760 --> 01:23:31,080
Speaker 4: They have the most pressure for any team in the playoffs.

1516
01:23:32,880 --> 01:23:37,599
Speaker 4: This is the opportunity now without as you mentioned Patrick Mahomes,

1517
01:23:37,960 --> 01:23:40,280
Speaker 4: there's no Joe Burrow, who also beats you a member

1518
01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:44,360
Speaker 4: in the snow in Buffalo. No Lamar Jackson this is

1519
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:46,240
Speaker 4: the time. If you can't do it now, you're never

1520
01:23:46,320 --> 01:23:48,640
Speaker 4: gonna do it. And I would argue that this might

1521
01:23:48,680 --> 01:23:51,240
Speaker 4: be their most flawed team they've had in quite a

1522
01:23:51,280 --> 01:23:53,640
Speaker 4: few years because the defense is not very good, and

1523
01:23:53,880 --> 01:23:59,679
Speaker 4: so that to me is very concerned. I think Jacksonvill

1524
01:23:59,680 --> 01:24:01,680
Speaker 4: wins it game. I think that they win this game.

1525
01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:05,400
Speaker 4: And we're talking about coaching earlier. I do do Sean

1526
01:24:05,439 --> 01:24:09,200
Speaker 4: McDermott survive a loss to Jacksonville on Sunday because John

1527
01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:11,240
Speaker 4: Harbaugh waiting to coach Josh Allen. I mean, I think

1528
01:24:11,320 --> 01:24:13,800
Speaker 4: that's a serious discussion. The Buffalo is gonna have. They

1529
01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:16,000
Speaker 4: are gonna run this back again with the same result

1530
01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:16,680
Speaker 4: year over year.

1531
01:24:17,800 --> 01:24:19,479
Speaker 3: Would would be interesting because you go back to the

1532
01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:22,400
Speaker 3: same tree. Would they can do the same tree and

1533
01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:26,240
Speaker 3: go from Sean to John. They're above from the Andy

1534
01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:28,320
Speaker 3: Reid tree they coached together.

1535
01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:32,080
Speaker 8: The question, I don't know, I actually think about that. Yeah,

1536
01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:39,519
Speaker 8: I wouldn't. I wouldn't go I would not fire Seewan.

1537
01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:43,000
Speaker 8: I would either, but I'm trying a very good coach.

1538
01:24:43,840 --> 01:24:45,000
Speaker 4: I think people can ask the question.

1539
01:24:45,960 --> 01:24:48,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, listen, does it put them

1540
01:24:48,560 --> 01:24:49,599
Speaker 2: on a hot seat? Yeah?

1541
01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:53,599
Speaker 3: You know, I think you know, it would certainly put

1542
01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:56,000
Speaker 3: them a hot seat. But I don't think you fire him.

1543
01:24:56,320 --> 01:25:00,280
Speaker 2: I don't. I mean, I wouldn't, you know. I came

1544
01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:03,360
Speaker 2: to in the game. I like Buffalo.

1545
01:25:04,760 --> 01:25:07,160
Speaker 3: I could see I think Jacksonville's playing really good football,

1546
01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:11,160
Speaker 3: and you know, sun China has gotten it and they're

1547
01:25:11,200 --> 01:25:12,000
Speaker 3: well coached.

1548
01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:17,320
Speaker 2: But can we talk about who they played?

1549
01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:20,320
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, they're going to Denver and that was

1550
01:25:20,400 --> 01:25:23,920
Speaker 3: a very impressive victory, right, like they put up thirty

1551
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:30,680
Speaker 3: four on that Broncos team. But it is fair to say, like,

1552
01:25:31,080 --> 01:25:35,960
Speaker 3: you beat the Titans twice in the last seven weeks,

1553
01:25:36,920 --> 01:25:42,280
Speaker 3: you beat jackson you beat Indianapolis, the Jets, you beat.

1554
01:25:42,120 --> 01:25:42,880
Speaker 2: The Colts twice.

1555
01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:46,240
Speaker 3: Actually in that period of time, like the Titans, you

1556
01:25:46,400 --> 01:25:51,439
Speaker 3: beat Arizona in overtime. You know, the most oppressive game

1557
01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:54,600
Speaker 3: was you know, the Chargers. They crushed the Chargers. The

1558
01:25:54,680 --> 01:25:58,400
Speaker 3: Chargers had just lost both tackles at the time, so

1559
01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:01,560
Speaker 3: there is a little bit of a uh of a

1560
01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:04,680
Speaker 3: caveat there, but it was a round. So I mean, like,

1561
01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:08,439
Speaker 3: I mean, they've been impressive, no doubt, but this is

1562
01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:12,680
Speaker 3: a playoff, battle tested Buffalo team. I know that their

1563
01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:18,720
Speaker 3: defense is vulnerable, especially against the run, but I mean

1564
01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:22,479
Speaker 3: I would be I would be disappointed if Buffalo lost.

1565
01:26:24,360 --> 01:26:27,639
Speaker 4: So Jacksonville since Week eleven has the best point differential

1566
01:26:27,640 --> 01:26:29,519
Speaker 4: in the NFL. Now, you mentioned part of it is

1567
01:26:29,600 --> 01:26:31,840
Speaker 4: that you know, maybe that they're not playing the best

1568
01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:34,240
Speaker 4: teams in the NFL. It's certainly fair to bring up,

1569
01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:38,320
Speaker 4: but they've played much better football because Trevor Lawrence stopped

1570
01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:40,400
Speaker 4: doing Trevor Lawrence stuff. Like there's not the players where

1571
01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:42,320
Speaker 4: you're like, we're like what wait what what?

1572
01:26:42,439 --> 01:26:42,800
Speaker 7: What? What?

1573
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:45,479
Speaker 4: Why are you doing that? That seems to have sort

1574
01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:49,080
Speaker 4: of stopped, which is which is great for for Jacksonville.

1575
01:26:50,280 --> 01:26:52,840
Speaker 4: He has one turnover in the last six weeks. He's

1576
01:26:52,920 --> 01:26:55,320
Speaker 4: running the ball more in the last six weeks as well,

1577
01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:59,519
Speaker 4: which has been impressive and important for for them as well.

1578
01:27:00,240 --> 01:27:03,000
Speaker 4: So all these things are the reasons why they run

1579
01:27:03,040 --> 01:27:04,600
Speaker 4: defense more in the NFL. I mean, it's it's a

1580
01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:05,880
Speaker 4: good football team, the question.

1581
01:27:06,160 --> 01:27:07,960
Speaker 2: And they added Myers. I like them.

1582
01:27:08,439 --> 01:27:10,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's been in Washington, by the way, is really

1583
01:27:10,400 --> 01:27:13,519
Speaker 4: picked up. You know, his production as well. Uh so

1584
01:27:13,600 --> 01:27:16,200
Speaker 4: they're playing much better football to your point, like, is

1585
01:27:16,280 --> 01:27:18,000
Speaker 4: it that I played the best teams? No, but your

1586
01:27:18,080 --> 01:27:21,200
Speaker 4: jobs to obviously win the football game. I also think

1587
01:27:21,320 --> 01:27:28,599
Speaker 4: Buffalo today, Jackson's gonna run the ball, like like tomorrow,

1588
01:27:28,640 --> 01:27:30,680
Speaker 4: they're going to run the ball. Other teams recently have

1589
01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:32,360
Speaker 4: not been able to do that in buffal On. Buffalo

1590
01:27:32,479 --> 01:27:34,479
Speaker 4: haven't tried. I think I think Jacksonville sticks to that.

1591
01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:37,280
Speaker 4: And that's where Buffalo's Their run defense is thirty first

1592
01:27:37,280 --> 01:27:39,439
Speaker 4: of the NFL. That that's that's the that's the big

1593
01:27:39,479 --> 01:27:42,400
Speaker 4: deal in this game. And so if if Buffalo can't

1594
01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:45,240
Speaker 4: stop the run and vice versa, Jacksonville stops run with

1595
01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:47,840
Speaker 4: their run defense, which is really good. That's where you

1596
01:27:47,880 --> 01:27:51,080
Speaker 4: get into the issue. So I'm concerned about Buffalo. I

1597
01:27:51,120 --> 01:27:53,720
Speaker 4: feel like Josh Allen as we know that you know

1598
01:27:54,120 --> 01:27:56,040
Speaker 4: this time of year is very much kind of like

1599
01:27:56,200 --> 01:27:58,800
Speaker 4: Yolo mode, which he has to be make all the

1600
01:27:58,880 --> 01:28:01,080
Speaker 4: plays for this offense, which was concerneding because that's we're

1601
01:28:01,080 --> 01:28:01,839
Speaker 4: get some mistakes.

1602
01:28:02,880 --> 01:28:04,920
Speaker 2: But this is the Bills.

1603
01:28:06,360 --> 01:28:09,280
Speaker 4: Have to win. This game is aggressive, but they got it.

1604
01:28:09,600 --> 01:28:13,800
Speaker 4: You gotta be Jacksonville. I think you have to.

1605
01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:17,240
Speaker 3: I agree, I think you gotta I think you gotta

1606
01:28:17,280 --> 01:28:19,640
Speaker 3: be Listen. I think Jacksonville is good too, and the

1607
01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:23,559
Speaker 3: whole thing great story, but again, you're the Bills.

1608
01:28:24,360 --> 01:28:27,080
Speaker 2: It's time like this is where you got to make

1609
01:28:27,120 --> 01:28:27,519
Speaker 2: it a run.

1610
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:35,120
Speaker 3: This AFC is fast, completely fascinating because when you go

1611
01:28:35,280 --> 01:28:37,680
Speaker 3: through it right, look at something like that.

1612
01:28:38,240 --> 01:28:41,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't really see that.

1613
01:28:41,439 --> 01:28:46,200
Speaker 3: I can't see the Chargers missing both tackles being able

1614
01:28:46,240 --> 01:28:48,519
Speaker 3: to win this game. I just can't say it. I

1615
01:28:48,720 --> 01:28:50,960
Speaker 3: just think they're not gonna be able to hold up

1616
01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:53,000
Speaker 3: against the New England Front.

1617
01:28:53,560 --> 01:28:55,680
Speaker 4: Well new England is their pass rush is very much

1618
01:28:55,720 --> 01:28:59,000
Speaker 4: interior pass rush more than more than edge rush. That

1619
01:28:59,080 --> 01:29:01,519
Speaker 4: that is something that point I'm kind of curious by

1620
01:29:01,560 --> 01:29:05,760
Speaker 4: as well. But look, the thing is New England's have

1621
01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:09,680
Speaker 4: the easiest schedule for a playoff team in twenty five

1622
01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:13,960
Speaker 4: years since nineteen ninety nine, and they're one and two

1623
01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:17,680
Speaker 4: against teams with ay rinn a record. Right, It's a

1624
01:29:17,760 --> 01:29:19,880
Speaker 4: team that just hasn't been tested the way they're going

1625
01:29:19,920 --> 01:29:24,639
Speaker 4: to be tested. The Chargers defense is fabulous, a number

1626
01:29:24,680 --> 01:29:27,280
Speaker 4: in the NFL that's passer rating, and we talk a

1627
01:29:27,320 --> 01:29:30,960
Speaker 4: lot about Herbert getting pressured, which is so absolutely Lee's

1628
01:29:31,040 --> 01:29:34,040
Speaker 4: NFL and pressures. You know who's second in pressure most often?

1629
01:29:34,600 --> 01:29:35,040
Speaker 2: Did Drake?

1630
01:29:35,479 --> 01:29:39,720
Speaker 4: Drake may like same issue that they have for them

1631
01:29:39,760 --> 01:29:45,560
Speaker 4: as well. So I just in the postseason, I do

1632
01:29:45,720 --> 01:29:48,720
Speaker 4: think being battle tested matters, and New England is not

1633
01:29:48,760 --> 01:29:51,160
Speaker 4: battle tested at all. They just they haven't been here

1634
01:29:51,200 --> 01:29:53,840
Speaker 4: with this team, they haven't played anybody. The Chargers, you

1635
01:29:53,880 --> 01:29:58,719
Speaker 4: could argue, are the best team they've played all season.

1636
01:30:00,479 --> 01:30:05,920
Speaker 4: Charger our Chargers better than Buffalo? What do you think?

1637
01:30:06,560 --> 01:30:06,600
Speaker 6: No?

1638
01:30:07,439 --> 01:30:09,360
Speaker 3: Okay, so this is the second best team they played

1639
01:30:09,360 --> 01:30:13,920
Speaker 3: all season in the playoffs, that he said about anyone else.

1640
01:30:14,080 --> 01:30:16,320
Speaker 4: No, everyone else is sort of at least played. I

1641
01:30:16,400 --> 01:30:19,439
Speaker 4: mean the Bears have the Bears, who I don't think

1642
01:30:19,479 --> 01:30:22,439
Speaker 4: are terribly good, have played the Packers twice, the Lions twice,

1643
01:30:23,040 --> 01:30:26,920
Speaker 4: you know, like they've played the Niners, like they've they

1644
01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:29,599
Speaker 4: played Niners. Right, they played like real teams all season.

1645
01:30:30,240 --> 01:30:32,200
Speaker 3: Now, you're your point is right, I mean, look at

1646
01:30:32,240 --> 01:30:36,639
Speaker 3: look at they beat Miami dead, Miami dead.

1647
01:30:36,720 --> 01:30:38,760
Speaker 4: But yet but they beat these teams too, with like

1648
01:30:38,840 --> 01:30:41,040
Speaker 4: Brady Cook a quarterback, with Quen You as a quarterback.

1649
01:30:41,080 --> 01:30:43,760
Speaker 4: They played Baltimore and Lamar got hurt during the game

1650
01:30:44,280 --> 01:30:48,720
Speaker 4: they played, Listen, that was an impressive win. I know

1651
01:30:48,960 --> 01:30:51,280
Speaker 4: Lamar got hurt throwing the game, but it was something

1652
01:30:51,360 --> 01:30:54,559
Speaker 4: I football was at Baltimore. It was a must win

1653
01:30:55,600 --> 01:31:00,599
Speaker 4: situation for them. You know, remember when I lost that game,

1654
01:31:00,640 --> 01:31:05,439
Speaker 4: they thought they were done. Oh yeah, no, it's true.

1655
01:31:05,520 --> 01:31:07,880
Speaker 4: But I think that it's just the point is that

1656
01:31:08,160 --> 01:31:12,120
Speaker 4: they just really haven't No I anyone.

1657
01:31:12,600 --> 01:31:14,800
Speaker 3: I think it's Listen. I think it's a fair point.

1658
01:31:15,720 --> 01:31:18,679
Speaker 3: It is a fair point you bring up. I don't

1659
01:31:18,880 --> 01:31:23,960
Speaker 3: know this Charger team is. And I love Herbert to death,

1660
01:31:24,240 --> 01:31:27,800
Speaker 3: I do, but I just don't know how. I don't

1661
01:31:27,840 --> 01:31:32,559
Speaker 3: know how they move the ball. It's a grindout game, man.

1662
01:31:33,320 --> 01:31:39,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, you need a rock fight. Yeah, speaking of rock

1663
01:31:39,880 --> 01:31:45,920
Speaker 2: fights Monday night. Another. First of all, we've had some

1664
01:31:46,040 --> 01:31:47,120
Speaker 2: great football this week.

1665
01:31:47,680 --> 01:31:53,800
Speaker 3: The fourth quarter between the Old Miss and Miami was

1666
01:31:53,840 --> 01:31:58,679
Speaker 3: fabulous and they dude, this Sunday night game was unbelievable.

1667
01:31:58,840 --> 01:32:06,040
Speaker 3: That was just an incredible fourth quarter. Between Pittsburgh and Baltimore.

1668
01:32:08,439 --> 01:32:11,080
Speaker 3: Where are you at with the Steelers?

1669
01:32:11,400 --> 01:32:11,879
Speaker 2: Rogers.

1670
01:32:12,520 --> 01:32:14,920
Speaker 3: I've told you before how I'm very bulls from the

1671
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:18,479
Speaker 3: Texans to make a run, and I just don't. I

1672
01:32:18,600 --> 01:32:23,360
Speaker 3: think it's a tough matchup for Pittsburgh that that Texas defense.

1673
01:32:25,040 --> 01:32:30,840
Speaker 4: I uh so, there's there's just a long line of

1674
01:32:32,720 --> 01:32:35,600
Speaker 4: poor results for Dome teams going on the road to

1675
01:32:35,640 --> 01:32:38,280
Speaker 4: play cold weather games, no matter what the what the

1676
01:32:38,320 --> 01:32:40,320
Speaker 4: situation is, right, and you know, the Dome team going

1677
01:32:40,320 --> 01:32:43,200
Speaker 4: on the road to play Pittsburgh and this voodoo the

1678
01:32:43,240 --> 01:32:46,120
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh has, Man, we talk about a lot, Matt, I

1679
01:32:46,160 --> 01:32:50,519
Speaker 4: don't even know. It's just they just whenever they're count out,

1680
01:32:50,520 --> 01:32:53,479
Speaker 4: whenever no one believes in them, they just win the game.

1681
01:32:54,360 --> 01:32:57,160
Speaker 4: It's wild to me they continue to do this However,

1682
01:32:58,880 --> 01:33:01,200
Speaker 4: I don't to your point, like, how does how does

1683
01:33:01,280 --> 01:33:04,200
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh score in this game? They don't know how they

1684
01:33:04,280 --> 01:33:09,920
Speaker 4: move the ball. They're not going to move the ball. Well,

1685
01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:11,680
Speaker 4: it's not gonna move the ball. It's it's gonna be

1686
01:33:11,760 --> 01:33:14,479
Speaker 4: a tough go for them in my mind, so I would.

1687
01:33:14,360 --> 01:33:18,320
Speaker 3: Lean heavily to taking uh the Texans in this game,

1688
01:33:18,439 --> 01:33:20,320
Speaker 3: even though, again, to be fair, likes a lot with

1689
01:33:20,360 --> 01:33:20,639
Speaker 3: the AFC.

1690
01:33:22,280 --> 01:33:28,400
Speaker 4: It wouldn't surprise me if Pittsburgh won it, just it wouldn't.

1691
01:33:28,800 --> 01:33:37,599
Speaker 4: It's possible. But I think Houston's much better. Right, how

1692
01:33:37,640 --> 01:33:41,479
Speaker 4: do you reconcile that? Why is that only three? Well,

1693
01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:44,559
Speaker 4: because it's in Pittsburgh, probably right, get Pittsburgh two points

1694
01:33:44,560 --> 01:33:46,639
Speaker 4: for for home field adantas two and a half. It's

1695
01:33:46,640 --> 01:33:51,040
Speaker 4: about right. Yeah, Well, I think because well here's why.

1696
01:33:51,040 --> 01:33:53,920
Speaker 4: Because Houston's offense is their offense line is not good,

1697
01:33:54,080 --> 01:33:58,360
Speaker 4: and their run game is fine, but Wood he marks

1698
01:33:58,400 --> 01:34:01,200
Speaker 4: its hurt every game. Fair, I don't think people trust

1699
01:34:01,280 --> 01:34:03,800
Speaker 4: c J. Stroud and that passing game quite as.

1700
01:34:04,479 --> 01:34:06,880
Speaker 2: I like CJ. I think he's had I think he's

1701
01:34:06,880 --> 01:34:09,600
Speaker 2: played better under the radar better this.

1702
01:34:09,760 --> 01:34:14,360
Speaker 3: Season, I think played worse than last year. Okay, well

1703
01:34:14,400 --> 01:34:16,479
Speaker 3: they and they really didn't protect him last year. But

1704
01:34:16,640 --> 01:34:20,120
Speaker 3: I agree, I mean he didn't play well. Higgins had.

1705
01:34:20,320 --> 01:34:23,360
Speaker 3: You know, he's got a nice connection. Nico's Nico, and

1706
01:34:23,479 --> 01:34:26,640
Speaker 3: he has a nice connection with the Higgins. Higgins stepped up.

1707
01:34:27,840 --> 01:34:29,840
Speaker 3: I think they got it sneaky. I think they have

1708
01:34:29,960 --> 01:34:33,960
Speaker 3: a sneaky passing game, but the defense is terrible.

1709
01:34:33,960 --> 01:34:36,080
Speaker 4: To It's just it's to me, it's just not It's

1710
01:34:36,160 --> 01:34:40,160
Speaker 4: not a good matchup for Pittsburgh at all. No, DK

1711
01:34:40,400 --> 01:34:43,080
Speaker 4: being back certainly helps the passing, the passing game which

1712
01:34:43,160 --> 01:34:45,120
Speaker 4: is basically non existent without it.

1713
01:34:45,520 --> 01:34:48,000
Speaker 2: You know, without him, it's not like DK is a burner, right,

1714
01:34:48,120 --> 01:34:49,040
Speaker 2: like I think you need.

1715
01:34:49,800 --> 01:34:51,000
Speaker 4: He at least gives them.

1716
01:34:50,880 --> 01:34:52,880
Speaker 3: The opportunity to throw the ball down the field, which

1717
01:34:52,920 --> 01:34:54,439
Speaker 3: they don't have any opportunity to do that.

1718
01:34:54,520 --> 01:34:57,640
Speaker 2: Now, I agree with that.

1719
01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:00,160
Speaker 4: Do you you.

1720
01:35:01,760 --> 01:35:04,320
Speaker 3: When you look at Eagles Niners? Do you give the number?

1721
01:35:04,400 --> 01:35:06,439
Speaker 3: How do you look at the Niners offense? I think

1722
01:35:06,520 --> 01:35:10,040
Speaker 3: Trent will Trent Williams is going to play. The big

1723
01:35:10,160 --> 01:35:14,240
Speaker 3: thing is pearsall Now he has a practice. I don't

1724
01:35:14,280 --> 01:35:17,839
Speaker 3: think he's gonna play. But he's such a huge loss

1725
01:35:17,920 --> 01:35:20,960
Speaker 3: because he's important to that offense.

1726
01:35:21,040 --> 01:35:22,280
Speaker 2: He stretches the field.

1727
01:35:23,960 --> 01:35:29,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's uh. The Niners, their offense the last month

1728
01:35:29,080 --> 01:35:30,920
Speaker 4: has been really good to actually play a real defense

1729
01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:34,360
Speaker 4: in Seattle, and that offense got shut down. The Eagles

1730
01:35:34,439 --> 01:35:37,120
Speaker 4: defense is maybe the most under talked about group in

1731
01:35:37,200 --> 01:35:41,960
Speaker 4: the postseason. It's a very very good defense. And even

1732
01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:46,479
Speaker 4: with Trent Williams back, I don't I don't really think

1733
01:35:46,600 --> 01:35:50,720
Speaker 4: that there's gonna be this like great you know, just

1734
01:35:50,840 --> 01:35:55,880
Speaker 4: just this this great game by the Nners offense. I

1735
01:35:56,400 --> 01:35:58,160
Speaker 4: I worry about Yers this game. I think there's a

1736
01:35:58,160 --> 01:36:00,360
Speaker 4: reason why this number has moved very heavily to the Eagles.

1737
01:36:01,960 --> 01:36:04,080
Speaker 2: You know, you know it's interesting and you and brain

1738
01:36:04,120 --> 01:36:06,320
Speaker 2: and brain will become a by later when when you

1739
01:36:06,439 --> 01:36:11,640
Speaker 2: got to go with your daughter the idea that the

1740
01:36:11,960 --> 01:36:17,320
Speaker 2: number goes in the opposite direction of the public money

1741
01:36:18,280 --> 01:36:21,439
Speaker 2: like so in this game, like you know better than

1742
01:36:21,479 --> 01:36:24,400
Speaker 2: I did when it comes to this. So the Eagles

1743
01:36:25,120 --> 01:36:27,519
Speaker 2: start off, I think it. Brain said it was two

1744
01:36:27,560 --> 01:36:30,599
Speaker 2: and a half and it's now five and a half.

1745
01:36:31,080 --> 01:36:35,840
Speaker 3: Yes, but like seventy seven percent of the money is

1746
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:41,080
Speaker 3: on San Francisco, Yes, So how does that work?

1747
01:36:41,720 --> 01:36:44,160
Speaker 4: That means that there's a lot of sharp money like

1748
01:36:44,280 --> 01:36:47,160
Speaker 4: the like sixth figure, like like big, like sendicate money

1749
01:36:47,760 --> 01:36:49,479
Speaker 4: on on the Eagles.

1750
01:36:51,120 --> 01:36:55,080
Speaker 2: Okay, typically that's the side you want to be on, right, Yes,

1751
01:36:55,479 --> 01:36:55,920
Speaker 2: well that was.

1752
01:36:55,960 --> 01:36:57,720
Speaker 4: I mean there was a big sharp money in Organ

1753
01:36:57,840 --> 01:37:01,840
Speaker 4: last night. Son't not always the way it is, yes,

1754
01:37:02,960 --> 01:37:09,160
Speaker 4: really yeah, got or got steam big time? Yeah wow yeah,

1755
01:37:11,240 --> 01:37:13,160
Speaker 4: well yeah, Organ's power raded really well.

1756
01:37:13,200 --> 01:37:14,880
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean they just got their butts kicked.

1757
01:37:14,960 --> 01:37:22,519
Speaker 3: But that yeah, we're that line finished at close it three. Yeah,

1758
01:37:22,520 --> 01:37:23,599
Speaker 3: it wasn't like three and a half.

1759
01:37:23,800 --> 01:37:24,760
Speaker 2: I remember three and a.

1760
01:37:24,720 --> 01:37:26,960
Speaker 4: Half all week and then they closed it three everywhere.

1761
01:37:28,760 --> 01:37:30,639
Speaker 2: That's a big number because the field goal number.

1762
01:37:31,439 --> 01:37:34,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it didn't matter obviously, so but it was you know,

1763
01:37:36,080 --> 01:37:38,080
Speaker 3: my brother texted me it was like forty seven nothing

1764
01:37:38,160 --> 01:37:39,800
Speaker 3: last night. He's like, what was the number on this game?

1765
01:37:39,840 --> 01:37:41,799
Speaker 3: I go Oregon didn't cover. Don't worry.

1766
01:37:47,960 --> 01:37:54,840
Speaker 2: Of this of this wild card group. Yeah, let's rank

1767
01:37:55,800 --> 01:37:56,760
Speaker 2: the contenders.

1768
01:37:57,120 --> 01:38:01,479
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, Number one who is again the one

1769
01:38:01,560 --> 01:38:04,519
Speaker 3: seeds are out of it, right, So forget the one seeds.

1770
01:38:06,040 --> 01:38:09,840
Speaker 3: Give me of this group. Give me your number one

1771
01:38:10,479 --> 01:38:17,639
Speaker 3: Super Bowl contender, the Rams. Okay, I would agree. Number two.

1772
01:38:19,800 --> 01:38:24,120
Speaker 4: Of the team's playing this weekend I think Johnson's winning

1773
01:38:24,160 --> 01:38:27,000
Speaker 4: the AFC, do you yeah, Man.

1774
01:38:27,120 --> 01:38:30,200
Speaker 2: You're high on them. I'm not ready to go there yet.

1775
01:38:30,479 --> 01:38:31,960
Speaker 4: So who's your number two? Houston?

1776
01:38:33,200 --> 01:38:36,320
Speaker 2: Well? I love Houston, I do.

1777
01:38:36,720 --> 01:38:42,880
Speaker 3: I've said that before, but I and this is not

1778
01:38:43,200 --> 01:38:47,000
Speaker 3: a please believing, It's not a Homer type of pick,

1779
01:38:47,720 --> 01:38:50,160
Speaker 3: But I think the Eagles are I think people are

1780
01:38:50,200 --> 01:38:52,880
Speaker 3: sleeping on that team because I think they're going to

1781
01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:57,200
Speaker 3: win someday. And then I think they you know, I

1782
01:38:57,360 --> 01:39:01,040
Speaker 3: think Chicago wins, but I know you think Green Bay wins.

1783
01:39:01,840 --> 01:39:04,519
Speaker 3: I think they beat Chicago, and then you gotta just

1784
01:39:04,680 --> 01:39:06,559
Speaker 3: you know, then it's up to the Eagles and whether

1785
01:39:06,600 --> 01:39:08,840
Speaker 3: they play the Rams or the Seahawks in the championship game,

1786
01:39:09,400 --> 01:39:11,800
Speaker 3: and if it's the Rams, the games at home.

1787
01:39:12,880 --> 01:39:19,920
Speaker 4: Yeah. So I think the Eagles would be next for me.

1788
01:39:20,600 --> 01:39:22,880
Speaker 4: So they'd be like the fourth team for me.

1789
01:39:24,400 --> 01:39:27,280
Speaker 3: So third, right, you get them third, because I would

1790
01:39:27,280 --> 01:39:32,080
Speaker 3: have Buffalo third. I would go Rams, Eagles, Bills.

1791
01:39:32,000 --> 01:39:40,240
Speaker 4: Rams, Jaguars, Eagles, Bills. Okay, I think that's I think

1792
01:39:40,240 --> 01:39:42,919
Speaker 4: that's how it stacked them up. And then maybe Texans

1793
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:45,640
Speaker 4: after that, five Texans playing of all the teams playing this,

1794
01:39:45,720 --> 01:39:47,960
Speaker 4: we five Texans. Yeah, that's about right.

1795
01:39:48,560 --> 01:39:51,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like, I do figure Houston.

1796
01:39:51,439 --> 01:39:53,800
Speaker 3: I mean, the only thing I would worry about is

1797
01:39:54,920 --> 01:39:57,360
Speaker 3: look at them, and I go, there's not a team

1798
01:39:58,520 --> 01:40:05,440
Speaker 3: in the AFC that scores had like a really dynamic offense.

1799
01:40:06,439 --> 01:40:10,519
Speaker 3: So I think the Texans defense making a rock fight

1800
01:40:10,640 --> 01:40:11,160
Speaker 3: every time.

1801
01:40:13,720 --> 01:40:16,200
Speaker 4: Right, But let's say they just allow twenty four points.

1802
01:40:17,479 --> 01:40:18,080
Speaker 2: That's my thing.

1803
01:40:18,200 --> 01:40:20,719
Speaker 3: I don't think anyone in the AFC could score twenty

1804
01:40:20,760 --> 01:40:21,839
Speaker 3: four on them in the playoffs.

1805
01:40:22,360 --> 01:40:25,080
Speaker 4: But yeah, but what if what if, like last night

1806
01:40:25,320 --> 01:40:27,679
Speaker 4: Oregon dropped the ball to two yard line for Indiana.

1807
01:40:27,800 --> 01:40:29,760
Speaker 4: I mean, that could certainly happen in any game. Like,

1808
01:40:29,840 --> 01:40:32,880
Speaker 4: what if if that happens for the Texans. If you

1809
01:40:32,960 --> 01:40:35,080
Speaker 4: have a bad turnover game, or you have a one

1810
01:40:35,160 --> 01:40:38,880
Speaker 4: bad turnover and do you end up allowing twenty four points?

1811
01:40:39,120 --> 01:40:44,200
Speaker 4: It's offense gonna score twenty four points? Yeah, No, I mean,

1812
01:40:45,240 --> 01:40:48,360
Speaker 4: I mean that's fair. That's why I just have a

1813
01:40:48,400 --> 01:40:50,280
Speaker 4: hard time with teams that are very one dimensional in

1814
01:40:50,320 --> 01:40:52,280
Speaker 4: the playoffs, because I think it's just very hard to

1815
01:40:53,000 --> 01:40:55,160
Speaker 4: win that way for three or four games.

1816
01:40:55,680 --> 01:40:58,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I it goes back to this is where

1817
01:40:58,800 --> 01:41:02,599
Speaker 3: I think we fundamentally disagree in that I think did

1818
01:41:02,720 --> 01:41:03,879
Speaker 3: I think they got sneaky.

1819
01:41:05,160 --> 01:41:06,760
Speaker 2: I think they got a sneaky pass game.

1820
01:41:08,920 --> 01:41:12,240
Speaker 4: I think it's no. We only just ground that. I

1821
01:41:12,280 --> 01:41:14,200
Speaker 4: think we disagree on that. I either think the offensive

1822
01:41:14,240 --> 01:41:16,000
Speaker 4: line is going to hold them back and you don't.

1823
01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:16,560
Speaker 4: You don't think that.

1824
01:41:17,920 --> 01:41:21,479
Speaker 3: Now they put up let me just le we go

1825
01:41:21,600 --> 01:41:27,320
Speaker 3: here they put up Let me go back to October.

1826
01:41:28,320 --> 01:41:30,560
Speaker 2: Forty four on Baltimore.

1827
01:41:32,040 --> 01:41:35,360
Speaker 3: That was when Baltimore had no one of defense because

1828
01:41:35,479 --> 01:41:42,680
Speaker 3: Chiefs twenty twenty six on San Francisco, thirty six on Jacksonville.

1829
01:41:44,720 --> 01:41:50,360
Speaker 3: How many games strouded playing twenty three on on Buffalo.

1830
01:41:51,479 --> 01:41:51,880
Speaker 2: In a win.

1831
01:41:53,000 --> 01:41:57,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was Davison Mills twenty on the Chiefs in

1832
01:41:57,160 --> 01:42:02,560
Speaker 3: a win, and that defense is still decent. Forty on Arizona,

1833
01:42:03,560 --> 01:42:07,840
Speaker 3: twenty on the Chargers in a win, you know, and

1834
01:42:07,920 --> 01:42:11,280
Speaker 3: obviously the Colt Staple thirty eight. I mean they, I

1835
01:42:11,360 --> 01:42:17,120
Speaker 3: mean they've held their own right, They've been fine. I

1836
01:42:17,160 --> 01:42:20,599
Speaker 3: don't think it's dynamic enough to win three road playoff games.

1837
01:42:20,800 --> 01:42:23,960
Speaker 3: I mean they're the seventh seed, like right, that's it's

1838
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:27,160
Speaker 3: a pretty tough road. It's a seventh seed. Like you

1839
01:42:27,360 --> 01:42:29,880
Speaker 3: like think about like what what takes the win is

1840
01:42:29,880 --> 01:42:34,080
Speaker 3: a seven seed. I mean you're gonna win on the road. Yeah,

1841
01:42:34,240 --> 01:42:35,920
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to win the whole thing on the road.

1842
01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:38,519
Speaker 3: They're gonna have to play the games the road. Three

1843
01:42:38,680 --> 01:42:41,519
Speaker 3: cold weather games in the road for a dome warm

1844
01:42:41,560 --> 01:42:42,320
Speaker 3: weather city team.

1845
01:42:42,400 --> 01:42:43,920
Speaker 2: Yah, yeah, tough.

1846
01:42:44,400 --> 01:42:45,800
Speaker 4: The number show. It's very hard to do.

1847
01:42:46,280 --> 01:42:47,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right. Listen.

Speaker 3: ten thirty eastern. Joining us every week at this time.

1861
01:43:56,240 --> 01:43:57,320

Speaker 2: We love him. It's my amen. We just know him

1863
01:44:02,160 --> 01:44:06,880
Speaker 2: as the brain. Good morning, Brain.

1864
01:44:08,360 --> 01:44:10,840
Speaker 5: Good morning. I say, would you think of the games?

1865
01:44:11,960 --> 01:44:15,640
Speaker 3: Well, I you know, let's let's go right into it,

1866
01:44:15,840 --> 01:44:22,040
Speaker 3: because last night was one of the epic epic performances.

1867
01:44:22,360 --> 01:44:27,800
Speaker 3: I mean, the they are so well coached. It's a

1868
01:44:27,840 --> 01:44:32,600
Speaker 3: great story. Signetti is amazing. But it also shows you

1869
01:44:33,760 --> 01:44:41,640
Speaker 3: about what experience does in college football. Right, So Indiana

1870
01:44:42,280 --> 01:44:49,240
Speaker 3: has six four and five stars, right, yep, we're get

1871
01:44:49,360 --> 01:44:51,840
Speaker 3: it's fifty five crazy.

1872
01:44:53,760 --> 01:44:55,840
Speaker 2: The experience.

1873
01:44:56,840 --> 01:44:59,080
Speaker 3: Was all on Indiana side, and you saw it like

1874
01:44:59,200 --> 01:45:03,639
Speaker 3: great off the bat Brain. You know, Dante Moore throws

1875
01:45:03,680 --> 01:45:08,200
Speaker 3: to pick six and he makes the early mistake, like

1876
01:45:08,360 --> 01:45:09,519
Speaker 3: that's a mistake of youth.

1877
01:45:11,439 --> 01:45:13,479
Speaker 5: They kind of remind me of twenty Indiana with all

1878
01:45:13,520 --> 01:45:16,759
Speaker 5: the experts, like you want to have those like Olympic,

1879
01:45:16,880 --> 01:45:19,600
Speaker 5: like those basketball teams, like those European teams are just

1880
01:45:19,720 --> 01:45:23,439
Speaker 5: more experienced than me. With the team like years older.

1881
01:45:23,600 --> 01:45:25,599
Speaker 5: I kind of feel like that's them.

1882
01:45:27,120 --> 01:45:30,639
Speaker 2: Wow, that's a great analogy. And they play that way.

1883
01:45:31,000 --> 01:45:36,599
Speaker 3: They play smart, right, like even Signetti coaches his way.

1884
01:45:36,800 --> 01:45:42,880
Speaker 3: Do you remember when they get the fumble, the running

1885
01:45:42,920 --> 01:45:48,320
Speaker 3: back hits hits uh, Dante Moore's elbowed. He fumbles right,

1886
01:45:48,479 --> 01:45:51,640
Speaker 3: So it's first a goal to four. Now what is

1887
01:45:51,760 --> 01:45:56,200
Speaker 3: what does Signetti do? He ran it three times from

1888
01:45:56,320 --> 01:46:00,640
Speaker 3: under center. There was no being cute there. He's going

1889
01:46:00,720 --> 01:46:03,160
Speaker 3: to throw it like he just ran the ball.

1890
01:46:04,120 --> 01:46:06,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, he has the heistand trophy winner. Who has playing

1891
01:46:06,280 --> 01:46:07,760
Speaker 5: with me? But he still runs the ball and he

1892
01:46:07,800 --> 01:46:10,280
Speaker 5: gets it done. It's it's interesting. I feel like for me,

1893
01:46:12,560 --> 01:46:14,720
Speaker 5: I one of those games is really good and one

1894
01:46:14,720 --> 01:46:17,560
Speaker 5: of those games is really bad. I got taken to

1895
01:46:17,640 --> 01:46:22,240
Speaker 5: the cleaners on the Old Miss game that was horrific

1896
01:46:22,320 --> 01:46:25,120
Speaker 5: for me. But yesterday's game was tremendous for me. So

1897
01:46:25,160 --> 01:46:29,360
Speaker 5: it kind of close to even doubt. But I was

1898
01:46:29,520 --> 01:46:35,280
Speaker 5: extremely extremely impressed with Indiana. They are just they have everything.

1899
01:46:35,439 --> 01:46:37,519
Speaker 5: I mean, they're just a really good team and it's

1900
01:46:37,600 --> 01:46:41,599
Speaker 5: like the coach makes it that much better and they're

1901
01:46:41,680 --> 01:46:43,559
Speaker 5: just an extremely impressive team.

1902
01:46:43,920 --> 01:46:45,920
Speaker 2: I mean extremely yeah.

1903
01:46:45,760 --> 01:46:48,120
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean look at their all. Let's go

1904
01:46:48,240 --> 01:46:51,439
Speaker 3: offense first. So you mentioned Mendoza, I mean he's just

1905
01:46:51,880 --> 01:46:54,800
Speaker 3: so accurate. One of the big plays that I thought

1906
01:46:54,920 --> 01:46:59,439
Speaker 3: was under rage I'm not really talked about, was you

1907
01:46:59,520 --> 01:47:02,559
Speaker 3: know they to pick six. Happens that Oregon drives down

1908
01:47:02,640 --> 01:47:07,240
Speaker 3: the field all right, So they answer it's seven to seven.

1909
01:47:08,680 --> 01:47:12,679
Speaker 3: And on the on the their first series of that drive,

1910
01:47:13,560 --> 01:47:18,320
Speaker 3: it's third down. He may throw a bath shoulder throw.

1911
01:47:18,760 --> 01:47:20,840
Speaker 5: Oh my god, that was the most amazing path I've

1912
01:47:20,840 --> 01:47:21,280
Speaker 5: ever seen it.

1913
01:47:21,400 --> 01:47:27,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what happens he doesn't make that throw.

1914
01:47:28,200 --> 01:47:33,240
Speaker 3: Oregan's got the ball seven seven, feeling great about itself

1915
01:47:33,280 --> 01:47:35,800
Speaker 3: because it answered to pick six.

1916
01:47:37,040 --> 01:47:38,600
Speaker 5: If they're gonna tell I always say to see you

1917
01:47:38,600 --> 01:47:41,360
Speaker 5: all the time on your show. Is like so many times,

1918
01:47:41,400 --> 01:47:43,840
Speaker 5: like we'll watch a game, right and it'll be a

1919
01:47:43,920 --> 01:47:46,439
Speaker 5: third and five and you'll see a quarterback. The guy

1920
01:47:46,520 --> 01:47:49,320
Speaker 5: could be forget forget that pass, which was ridiculous, but

1921
01:47:49,439 --> 01:47:53,160
Speaker 5: a guy will be open and really like a quarterback

1922
01:47:53,160 --> 01:47:56,320
Speaker 5: who's not consistent, is not great accuracy with that one

1923
01:47:56,400 --> 01:47:58,599
Speaker 5: complete pass and we'll just see in the stats because

1924
01:47:58,600 --> 01:48:00,920
Speaker 5: it's not incomplete. It's not an inner exception would have

1925
01:48:00,920 --> 01:48:03,439
Speaker 5: seen incompletion and like, okay, we'll move on, like whatever.

1926
01:48:03,800 --> 01:48:07,200
Speaker 5: But round that's like a turnover because at the inaccurate pass,

1927
01:48:07,240 --> 01:48:08,960
Speaker 5: because you would still have the ball, now you longer

1928
01:48:09,040 --> 01:48:11,599
Speaker 5: have it. Watching him and Doza last night, I mean god,

1929
01:48:11,640 --> 01:48:15,240
Speaker 5: the accuracy is just phenomenal. I mean I I was

1930
01:48:16,040 --> 01:48:18,280
Speaker 5: crazy impressed with him. I really was, and again that

1931
01:48:19,760 --> 01:48:21,800
Speaker 5: you know, it's funny. Look, you never know. And I

1932
01:48:21,840 --> 01:48:23,960
Speaker 5: heard Signing talking after the game, antheings like he goes,

1933
01:48:24,000 --> 01:48:25,960
Speaker 5: we're really thin right now in a couple of spots.

1934
01:48:27,280 --> 01:48:29,000
Speaker 5: I guess they had some injuries in the game that

1935
01:48:29,120 --> 01:48:34,560
Speaker 5: they second were all nervous about. But you know, it

1936
01:48:34,680 --> 01:48:38,200
Speaker 5: really seems like to me this team to beat them,

1937
01:48:38,920 --> 01:48:40,760
Speaker 5: you're going to have to play your best game of

1938
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:43,880
Speaker 5: the year, and it's going to be really really challenging

1939
01:48:43,960 --> 01:48:45,840
Speaker 5: for Miami to do that. But I will say this,

1940
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:49,080
Speaker 5: Malchai Tony that catching Did you see the catch he

1941
01:48:49,200 --> 01:48:50,479
Speaker 5: made that was ruled not a catch?

1942
01:48:50,880 --> 01:48:51,040
Speaker 2: Yes?

1943
01:48:51,360 --> 01:48:58,080
Speaker 5: And that was that was the most amazing athletics I did.

1944
01:48:58,120 --> 01:49:00,800
Speaker 5: That was the most athletic play I've ever seen. Like

1945
01:49:01,040 --> 01:49:05,840
Speaker 5: that was a crazy game as well, but it was

1946
01:49:06,040 --> 01:49:08,439
Speaker 5: just h Yeah, I don't know, it's in the end,

1947
01:49:08,520 --> 01:49:10,360
Speaker 5: team out. I'll be I'll be stunned if they lose.

1948
01:49:10,520 --> 01:49:12,960
Speaker 5: But you know, obviously Miami has been a team that

1949
01:49:13,000 --> 01:49:16,160
Speaker 5: I've been clearly under rating and they continue to perform.

1950
01:49:16,920 --> 01:49:20,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I felt the same thing Listen were killed Old

1951
01:49:20,280 --> 01:49:23,880
Speaker 3: Miss was their defense and they just I mean, they

1952
01:49:23,920 --> 01:49:25,360
Speaker 3: were gas they couldn't tackle.

1953
01:49:26,120 --> 01:49:28,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't like.

1954
01:49:28,600 --> 01:49:30,840
Speaker 3: I didn't like a lot of the defensive calls, like

1955
01:49:31,560 --> 01:49:36,599
Speaker 3: they were soft on third down Miami third third downs

1956
01:49:36,840 --> 01:49:38,160
Speaker 3: because they were playing soft.

1957
01:49:39,200 --> 01:49:42,160
Speaker 5: I mean, look, it's funny that the quarterback played cofee

1958
01:49:42,360 --> 01:49:44,920
Speaker 5: so well. Chamliss got him there and they when he

1959
01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:46,599
Speaker 5: had to do it. In the second half, they scored

1960
01:49:46,640 --> 01:49:49,960
Speaker 5: basically every possession. They were winning the game, and they

1961
01:49:50,080 --> 01:49:52,880
Speaker 5: just couldn't get a stop. They had these third and

1962
01:49:53,000 --> 01:49:56,400
Speaker 5: tens to stop. Miami win the champions they get to

1963
01:49:56,400 --> 01:49:59,600
Speaker 5: the championship team. But I mean, they just couldn't. They

1964
01:49:59,640 --> 01:50:02,759
Speaker 5: couldn't got to stop. But it's interesting is Miami's defense,

1965
01:50:02,840 --> 01:50:07,920
Speaker 5: which first half was absolutely beyond phenomenal, couldn't stop well

1966
01:50:08,000 --> 01:50:12,080
Speaker 5: Miss in the second half. So I'll be interesting what

1967
01:50:12,160 --> 01:50:14,920
Speaker 5: happens in this game. But I again, I I line

1968
01:50:15,040 --> 01:50:16,600
Speaker 5: is high, Anthony. I don't know if you've seen it.

1969
01:50:16,720 --> 01:50:19,000
Speaker 5: The line is high. I mean, they are really getting

1970
01:50:19,000 --> 01:50:21,400
Speaker 5: a lot of respect Indiana, but I think deservedly so.

1971
01:50:21,600 --> 01:50:25,519
Speaker 5: I seven and a half to train and I cannot

1972
01:50:25,560 --> 01:50:30,720
Speaker 5: step in front of I mean, it's just number. It's

1973
01:50:30,760 --> 01:50:33,320
Speaker 5: a very big number for it. To think about it

1974
01:50:33,360 --> 01:50:36,280
Speaker 5: like this, Then you say to yourself. Ohio State was laying.

1975
01:50:36,320 --> 01:50:42,120
Speaker 5: I believe nine against uh Indiana team is clearly better

1976
01:50:42,160 --> 01:50:45,800
Speaker 5: than Ohio State. Clearly that you can also like it's

1977
01:50:45,920 --> 01:50:47,360
Speaker 5: it's it's very reasonable.

1978
01:50:47,520 --> 01:50:49,280
Speaker 2: So well, yeah, that's good.

1979
01:50:49,840 --> 01:50:53,320
Speaker 3: I like, I don't think it's a good magic for

1980
01:50:53,439 --> 01:50:58,479
Speaker 3: Miami because well, Miami can run. The only way you're

1981
01:50:58,520 --> 01:51:02,040
Speaker 3: going to beat them is if your quarterback plays out

1982
01:51:02,080 --> 01:51:04,559
Speaker 3: of your mind. And I still don't believe him back.

1983
01:51:04,640 --> 01:51:07,960
Speaker 3: I know he played well against against all mess.

1984
01:51:07,840 --> 01:51:11,120
Speaker 5: Well, I'm not a big believer he played well because

1985
01:51:11,120 --> 01:51:13,200
Speaker 5: again I'm looking at you're talking matchups again. If I'm

1986
01:51:13,200 --> 01:51:17,599
Speaker 5: gonna if I'm gonna wrestle like brock Lesnar and I'm

1987
01:51:17,600 --> 01:51:20,439
Speaker 5: gonna wrestle my son, it's gonna buy a little bit

1988
01:51:20,520 --> 01:51:23,920
Speaker 5: better success against my son. Going into Mississippi defense, he's

1989
01:51:23,960 --> 01:51:26,720
Speaker 5: going to look better than against Indiana defense. And I

1990
01:51:26,720 --> 01:51:29,160
Speaker 5: already know that. And you know it was a good matchup.

1991
01:51:29,200 --> 01:51:31,720
Speaker 5: Credit him. He played well in a very very good

1992
01:51:31,840 --> 01:51:34,960
Speaker 5: matchup for him. Now he is a much tougher defense,

1993
01:51:35,040 --> 01:51:37,040
Speaker 5: and I do not trust that guy even a little

1994
01:51:37,080 --> 01:51:38,080
Speaker 5: bit against a good defense.

1995
01:51:38,640 --> 01:51:42,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm on, I'm in the same boat as you.

1996
01:51:42,960 --> 01:51:46,040
Speaker 3: I just don't think. I I just don't think. I

1997
01:51:46,120 --> 01:51:47,759
Speaker 3: think it's a bad matchup for Miami.

1998
01:51:48,080 --> 01:51:50,960
Speaker 5: I I do. There was a lot of much a big.

1999
01:51:50,960 --> 01:51:53,439
Speaker 2: Number, but I'd still take. I'd still take in the end.

2000
01:51:53,640 --> 01:51:55,559
Speaker 5: There was a lot of money. I was going against

2001
01:51:55,560 --> 01:51:57,320
Speaker 5: a lot of team. There was a lot of money

2002
01:51:57,560 --> 01:51:59,240
Speaker 5: coming out in Oregon yesterday, a lot.

2003
01:51:59,120 --> 01:52:01,320
Speaker 2: Of money, A lot of said, a lot of people

2004
01:52:01,400 --> 01:52:02,400
Speaker 2: were all over Oregon.

2005
01:52:02,640 --> 01:52:05,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I And it's funny, I usually don't like

2006
01:52:05,240 --> 01:52:07,640
Speaker 5: I the more it came in, the more I'm like,

2007
01:52:08,000 --> 01:52:09,599
Speaker 5: I'm like, I'm like, all right, I'm just gonna keep

2008
01:52:09,640 --> 01:52:11,680
Speaker 5: betting more and more and more on the I took

2009
01:52:11,760 --> 01:52:13,599
Speaker 5: the money line in this game, and I only lived

2010
01:52:13,640 --> 01:52:16,599
Speaker 5: like minus one forty eight, which more of us. That's

2011
01:52:16,640 --> 01:52:19,000
Speaker 5: so you could have had they opened it like minus

2012
01:52:19,040 --> 01:52:23,040
Speaker 5: one ninety. And it was just I never had a

2013
01:52:23,120 --> 01:52:25,679
Speaker 5: sweat it. I mean, it just was. I mean, that's

2014
01:52:26,080 --> 01:52:28,200
Speaker 5: very nice to get a game like that. And there

2015
01:52:28,280 --> 01:52:30,719
Speaker 5: was great live betting game too. They kept favoring Oregon

2016
01:52:30,800 --> 01:52:33,880
Speaker 5: throughout live betting, which was perplexing to me as well.

2017
01:52:34,960 --> 01:52:38,760
Speaker 5: They favored Oregon basically the entire way. I'm like to

2018
01:52:38,800 --> 01:52:40,120
Speaker 5: be watching a different game than I am.

2019
01:52:40,840 --> 01:52:44,800
Speaker 2: Wow, that's wild All right, let's let's do this.

2020

Speaker 3: he's the brain. It doesn't get sharper than the brain.

2053
01:54:53,480 --> 01:54:53,960
Speaker 2: So brain.

2054
01:54:55,080 --> 01:54:58,839
Speaker 3: Let's take a look at wild Card weekend today. Two games,

2055
01:55:00,360 --> 01:55:03,720
Speaker 3: Rams ten and a half, big number against Carolina in

2056
01:55:03,800 --> 01:55:04,360
Speaker 3: the early one.

2057
01:55:05,440 --> 01:55:08,720
Speaker 5: You know, Anthony, it's interesting the first time these teams played.

2058
01:55:08,720 --> 01:55:13,520
Speaker 5: If you watched the game, just every possible break, which

2059
01:55:13,560 --> 01:55:17,560
Speaker 5: is with in for your team's need, went the way

2060
01:55:17,680 --> 01:55:21,560
Speaker 5: of the Panthers Stafford selling interceptions on tip balls inside

2061
01:55:21,640 --> 01:55:24,680
Speaker 5: the three yard line, fort down conversions that go for

2062
01:55:24,760 --> 01:55:29,400
Speaker 5: fifty yard touchdowns. Every potential break went Caroline's way, and

2063
01:55:29,440 --> 01:55:32,600
Speaker 5: they won a game by a few points based off

2064
01:55:32,680 --> 01:55:35,720
Speaker 5: that line. Open nine and a half, Anthony, at the

2065
01:55:35,760 --> 01:55:37,880
Speaker 5: opening nine to nine and a half still lean Rams

2066
01:55:37,960 --> 01:55:40,600
Speaker 5: even at ten and a half. To me, there is

2067
01:55:40,640 --> 01:55:43,520
Speaker 5: a huge class difference here in these two teams. If

2068
01:55:43,520 --> 01:55:47,400
Speaker 5: this is a clean game. No way do the Rams

2069
01:55:47,520 --> 01:55:49,800
Speaker 5: lose it. I can't say they can't cover it if

2070
01:55:49,800 --> 01:55:51,840
Speaker 5: it's not a clean game. But I to me, I

2071
01:55:51,880 --> 01:55:54,240
Speaker 5: think the Rams there is a total mismatch in this game,

2072
01:55:54,320 --> 01:55:55,920
Speaker 5: and I think the Rams do win the game by

2073
01:55:56,000 --> 01:55:56,720
Speaker 5: fourteen plus.

2074
01:55:57,680 --> 01:56:01,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, Caroline's a great story and you know,

2075
01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:04,160
Speaker 3: they're fun and all the things. I just I mean,

2076
01:56:04,200 --> 01:56:06,520
Speaker 3: it's a class situation here.

2077
01:56:06,640 --> 01:56:08,120
Speaker 2: So I'm with him.

2078
01:56:08,800 --> 01:56:11,360
Speaker 3: I'm with you, and even I guess there's gonna be

2079
01:56:11,600 --> 01:56:15,960
Speaker 3: uh maybe a little rain and some wind, but that's

2080
01:56:16,000 --> 01:56:19,080
Speaker 3: not going to deter that out the Rams offense, you know.

2081
01:56:20,080 --> 01:56:21,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you, all right.

2082
01:56:22,280 --> 01:56:27,840
Speaker 3: This the game to night fascinating, right, it's a fascinating game.

2083
01:56:29,800 --> 01:56:35,880
Speaker 3: So Packers Bears, and I'm curious you're to take because

2084
01:56:35,880 --> 01:56:39,520
Speaker 3: then I talked to Jason Levatt, the former NFL wide

2085
01:56:39,560 --> 01:56:42,800
Speaker 3: receiver who has a real opinion on the Bears, and

2086
01:56:42,880 --> 01:56:44,040
Speaker 3: I can't wait to share with you.

2087
01:56:44,560 --> 01:56:45,840
Speaker 2: But how do you see it? First?

2088
01:56:47,160 --> 01:56:49,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't have a real opinion on the Bears.

2089
01:56:50,320 --> 01:56:54,560
Speaker 5: I think this game again, this line shows you the

2090
01:56:54,720 --> 01:56:58,400
Speaker 5: respect for the non respect the Bears are getting from

2091
01:56:58,440 --> 01:57:02,280
Speaker 5: the professional community. And here's a team that kind of

2092
01:57:02,320 --> 01:57:04,320
Speaker 5: like Eli Manning and the Super Bowl had so many

2093
01:57:04,360 --> 01:57:08,120
Speaker 5: horseshoes up there, you know what, I just I'd never

2094
01:57:08,160 --> 01:57:11,000
Speaker 5: say anything like it. And while they have a really

2095
01:57:11,040 --> 01:57:14,920
Speaker 5: good coach, I respect Ben Johnson quite a bit. I

2096
01:57:15,120 --> 01:57:17,160
Speaker 5: just think the Bears team is a house of cards

2097
01:57:17,240 --> 01:57:20,640
Speaker 5: that is fake. I don't like anything about team. I

2098
01:57:20,680 --> 01:57:23,640
Speaker 5: don't like the quarterback, I don't like the defense. I

2099
01:57:23,640 --> 01:57:25,760
Speaker 5: don't like anything about the Bears. Actually, I really don't.

2100
01:57:26,080 --> 01:57:30,160
Speaker 5: Now they're facing a team that just has their own issues.

2101
01:57:30,320 --> 01:57:32,960
Speaker 5: As soon as Michael Parsons left, I got injured and

2102
01:57:33,120 --> 01:57:38,600
Speaker 5: they left. This Packers defense is in trouble. Healthy is

2103
01:57:39,320 --> 01:57:41,440
Speaker 5: Jacob said, is the healthies he's been in six weeks.

2104
01:57:41,640 --> 01:57:43,760
Speaker 5: I expect the heavy dose to him. I will say

2105
01:57:43,800 --> 01:57:46,840
Speaker 5: that I thought Fly should come in right around when

2106
01:57:46,880 --> 01:57:49,080
Speaker 5: it's that at a round A pick NodD again, I'm

2107
01:57:49,080 --> 01:57:50,840
Speaker 5: getting involved in I think it's going to be a

2108
01:57:50,880 --> 01:57:53,000
Speaker 5: close game. All the Bears games seem to be close,

2109
01:57:54,360 --> 01:57:56,520
Speaker 5: but they've lost these last two final close games. They

2110
01:57:56,600 --> 01:57:59,879
Speaker 5: finally lost close game to Detroit and to San Francisco.

2111
01:58:00,800 --> 01:58:03,640
Speaker 5: I'm not a believer in the Bears at all. I

2112
01:58:03,720 --> 01:58:05,440
Speaker 5: think Green Bay finds a way to win a close game.

2113
01:58:05,520 --> 01:58:07,120
Speaker 5: For the game, not a game, I'm betting.

2114
01:58:07,920 --> 01:58:11,080
Speaker 3: You know what's funny, I thought the same thing about Chicago, right,

2115
01:58:11,240 --> 01:58:13,560
Speaker 3: like that, you know, good story.

2116
01:58:13,680 --> 01:58:15,080
Speaker 2: They're another ones good story.

2117
01:58:15,600 --> 01:58:18,240
Speaker 3: I like. I love Ben Johnson. I think what he's

2118
01:58:18,280 --> 01:58:20,640
Speaker 3: done with Caleb has been amazing.

2119
01:58:21,440 --> 01:58:22,960
Speaker 2: Right, you're really good.

2120
01:58:24,880 --> 01:58:27,720
Speaker 3: I thought the same thing with their defense, and defense

2121
01:58:27,840 --> 01:58:29,080
Speaker 3: is okay, it's opportunistic.

2122
01:58:29,160 --> 01:58:30,080
Speaker 2: They get a lot of turnovers.

2123
01:58:30,160 --> 01:58:32,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, they've got they've got every break to go their way,

2124
01:58:32,680 --> 01:58:34,760
Speaker 5: and these things even out over the course of time.

2125
01:58:36,840 --> 01:58:38,680
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I thought the same thing.

2126
01:58:39,040 --> 01:58:42,080
Speaker 3: So then that Jason Avant is a form of wide

2127
01:58:42,120 --> 01:58:47,120
Speaker 3: receiver who I love, right, and and he really knows

2128
01:58:47,280 --> 01:58:51,520
Speaker 3: his stuff. Breaks like film study guy. But some guys,

2129
01:58:51,600 --> 01:58:56,640
Speaker 3: some former players aren't film guys. Jason is a should

2130
01:58:56,680 --> 01:58:57,920
Speaker 3: be a coach. I tell him all the time.

2131
01:58:58,520 --> 01:58:59,960
Speaker 5: But where do you go to college?

2132
01:59:00,440 --> 01:59:03,840
Speaker 2: That's right to your alma mater, Michigan.

2133
01:59:04,640 --> 01:59:11,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, so all smart people go to Michigan. I'm with

2134
01:59:11,960 --> 01:59:20,920
Speaker 3: the Temple. So here's the thing. He loves Chicago. Loves Chicago,

2135
01:59:21,200 --> 01:59:24,120
Speaker 3: he thinks to the most underrated team in the Conference.

2136
01:59:24,160 --> 01:59:28,080
Speaker 3: Of fact, he said he would rather play the Rams

2137
01:59:28,520 --> 01:59:32,840
Speaker 3: than the Bears, which got me if I because I

2138
01:59:32,960 --> 01:59:36,040
Speaker 3: posted the question from an Eagle standpoint, who would you

2139
01:59:36,200 --> 01:59:39,480
Speaker 3: rather play? And he goes, I'd rather play the Rams

2140
01:59:39,560 --> 01:59:42,520
Speaker 3: than the Bears. He said, I think the Eagles match

2141
01:59:42,600 --> 01:59:45,560
Speaker 3: up better against the Rams than they do the Bears.

2142
01:59:46,440 --> 01:59:50,440
Speaker 3: That with the Bears do up front, it will give

2143
01:59:50,480 --> 01:59:55,160
Speaker 3: the Eagles trouble and will give Green Bay trouble, he said.

2144
01:59:55,800 --> 01:59:58,040
Speaker 3: I know those games have been closed, she goes, but

2145
01:59:58,680 --> 02:00:01,720
Speaker 3: they're a brought up the fact that they're going to

2146
02:00:01,760 --> 02:00:04,120
Speaker 3: be healthier receiver to get doing.

2147
02:00:07,040 --> 02:00:09,200
Speaker 5: Fevers are actually pretty decent. I do like that part

2148
02:00:09,240 --> 02:00:13,400
Speaker 5: of the Bears. I like, yeah, and I like I

2149
02:00:13,640 --> 02:00:17,040
Speaker 5: like the Burden from Missouri is my favorite receiver room draw.

2150
02:00:17,160 --> 02:00:17,560
Speaker 6: I like that.

2151
02:00:18,120 --> 02:00:22,600
Speaker 5: But but I think that's one of the most outlandish

2152
02:00:22,680 --> 02:00:24,720
Speaker 5: takes I've heard of my life. I'd go that far

2153
02:00:25,600 --> 02:00:28,080
Speaker 5: in terms of preferring to face the Bears over the Rams.

2154
02:00:28,120 --> 02:00:31,480
Speaker 5: To me, that's like if you asked and I look,

2155
02:00:31,560 --> 02:00:34,160
Speaker 5: all respect for Jason Leavant, all respect, but I think

2156
02:00:34,200 --> 02:00:37,280
Speaker 5: if you asked one hundred people, let's say NFL scouts,

2157
02:00:37,360 --> 02:00:42,800
Speaker 5: NFL coaches, respected media people like you, I would think

2158
02:00:42,800 --> 02:00:44,960
Speaker 5: it would be ninety nine to one and he's the one.

2159
02:00:45,480 --> 02:00:47,720
Speaker 5: He's on an island, and I don't mean fantasy islands.

2160
02:00:47,920 --> 02:00:52,240
Speaker 5: He is on an island on that pay and I

2161
02:00:52,320 --> 02:00:53,000
Speaker 5: can't get there.

2162
02:00:53,840 --> 02:00:54,400
Speaker 2: I feel you.

2163
02:00:54,800 --> 02:00:57,400
Speaker 3: I got forty seconds, man, we just we just lost

2164
02:00:57,440 --> 02:01:02,560
Speaker 3: the whole segment. There's Jaggs. Bill's Jaggs who you like? Quickly?

2165
02:01:03,680 --> 02:01:05,440
Speaker 5: Great game? I think Jags are the better to.

2166
02:01:05,440 --> 02:01:08,160
Speaker 4: Think Jacks win, Eagles Niners.

2167
02:01:09,800 --> 02:01:11,680
Speaker 5: It's the current numbers. It's six and a half until

2168
02:01:11,680 --> 02:01:13,280
Speaker 5: we go to seven Niners.

2169
02:01:13,360 --> 02:01:16,840
Speaker 2: Wow, wow, six and a half. It's insane.

2170
02:01:17,600 --> 02:01:22,560
Speaker 5: Chargers Patriots ween Patriots, but not a game I'm betting.

2171
02:01:23,320 --> 02:01:25,880
Speaker 2: And then Texans Steelers Monday Night.

2172
02:01:26,560 --> 02:01:28,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I bet that. I like the stealer of the Texans.

2173
02:01:28,840 --> 02:01:30,640
Speaker 5: I like the Texans playing two and a half. I'm

2174
02:01:30,640 --> 02:01:31,480
Speaker 5: gonna choke on that one.

2175
02:01:31,600 --> 02:01:32,040
Speaker 4: It is all.

2176
02:01:32,320 --> 02:01:34,920
Speaker 2: We are done. I have a great week and everybody

2177
02:01:34,960 --> 02:01:36,720
Speaker 2: we love you sell us are out.
