WEBVTT - Shorthanded 49ers STUN Eagles, Josh Allen Is ALL-TIME Great, Caleb Looks Like Elway, SEC Dominance Is OVER

0:00:01.440 --> 0:00:06.320
<v Speaker 1>The volume. Josh Allen is the Louisiana Hot Sauce Player

0:00:06.360 --> 0:00:08.760
<v Speaker 1>of the Week. Three hundred and six total yards, three

0:00:08.800 --> 0:00:12.479
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns In Buffalo's win over Jacksonville, the Bills got their

0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:16.600
<v Speaker 1>first road playoff win in thirty three years. The original

0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Louisiana Hot Sauce. I love this stuff. Perfect balance of

0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Pepper's vinegar, salt, wings, nachos, burgers. I put it on

0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:26.279
<v Speaker 1>my eggs hit any tailgate food, bold handcrafted flavor of

0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:29.520
<v Speaker 1>the original Louisiana Hot Sauce. That's Louisiana Hot.

0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 2>Buy you some.

0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:40.800
<v Speaker 1>I love that line, all right. John Middlecoff, former NFL scout,

0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:45.680
<v Speaker 1>joining us four for four, four great playoff games. The

0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:48.800
<v Speaker 1>league is just fine without the Kansas City Chiefs in

0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:53.199
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs. That's the difference between the NBA in the NFL,

0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:58.240
<v Speaker 1>between baseball and the NFL. Mahomes Burrow, Lamar jackson Out.

0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Best wild card weekend I ever remember.

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:01.720
<v Speaker 2>Four for four.

0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:06.639
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco and a superior coaching staff beat Philadelphia twenty

0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 1>three to nineteen. By the way, the Eagles went up

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:12.880
<v Speaker 1>thirteen to seven and then they went three and out

0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 1>and four of their next five drives. I thought it

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:21.120
<v Speaker 1>was really an indictment. This is, you know, John, like

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:25.760
<v Speaker 1>the truth eventually comes out the fact that Kyle Shanahan

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:29.520
<v Speaker 1>can go into this game, lose George Kittle early, doesn't

0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:34.600
<v Speaker 1>have Warner, doesn't have Bosa, hasn't had Ayuk all year.

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:38.640
<v Speaker 1>You go into pretty much a stack croster that you

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:42.240
<v Speaker 1>could argue the weather favors Philadelphia. They don't like to

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:47.039
<v Speaker 1>throw the ball, pretty throws two picks and San Francisco wins.

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:52.640
<v Speaker 1>The gap between Shanahan in Sirianni, I still contend Sirianni's

0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:55.680
<v Speaker 1>a coordinator, but you know, you know what I mean,

0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Doug Peterson won a Super Bowl with nick Fole. Shit happens.

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was so an indictment on the Philadelphia

0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>offensive staff.

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:06.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I think that's one of the worst

0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 2>playoff losses you'll ever see. I mean, the forty nine ers,

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:12.639
<v Speaker 2>they lose their best player with what in the first

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 2>quarter with the torn achilles, So the ramifications, the ripple

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:18.559
<v Speaker 2>effects that has, and he's best friends with yus Jack McCaffrey.

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 2>They don't flinch. Sirianni doesn't do anything to impact the game, right,

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:26.600
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't call the place, So it's it's it's Kevin

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:30.360
<v Speaker 2>Patola and Vic Fangio against Kyle and Robert Salad, which

0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:33.640
<v Speaker 2>is a massive advantage the Eagles. You know, it's reported

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.000
<v Speaker 2>this morning Lane Johnson right was gonna go and then

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 2>he couldn't go. Well, that doesn't impact this game because

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.040
<v Speaker 2>the forty nine ers can't rush the passer. You know,

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Charles Haley a walking through that door to me to

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:47.440
<v Speaker 2>get two interceptions from Brock, especially the one in the

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:50.920
<v Speaker 2>second half. The Niners are up by one point, they're

0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:53.360
<v Speaker 2>in full control. There's what seven eight minutes left to go.

0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:57.160
<v Speaker 2>When he throws that interception Colin against a good playoff team,

0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.639
<v Speaker 2>that game would be over on the road, it would.

0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 2>But the Eagles, they're two interceptions. They got three points

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:05.079
<v Speaker 2>total out of it. They can't move the ball at

0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 2>the end. You can always manipulate a little bit when

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.639
<v Speaker 2>you go in that two minute up tempo. Most teams

0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL move it more than they normally do.

0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:14.840
<v Speaker 2>But with that much talent on the field, and listen,

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.200
<v Speaker 2>aj Brown is a fantastic talent. But if you're gonna

0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:20.960
<v Speaker 2>talk that much and hate on your quarterback that much

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:22.760
<v Speaker 2>and make that much money, you got to come through

0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:26.960
<v Speaker 2>because listen, if the Niners lose this game, party would have,

0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:30.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, bore some responsibility. You can't turn the ball

0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:31.680
<v Speaker 2>over in the second half because you're in the game.

0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 2>The game's weird. You got a shot, but you got

0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 2>to give him credit. They got the ball back. He

0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:37.640
<v Speaker 2>drove him right down the field. He made a big run.

0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:40.440
<v Speaker 2>He made some big throws. Mental toughness right there, Colin

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:41.200
<v Speaker 2>and great coach.

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:44.200
<v Speaker 1>By the way, you know, I've defended Darnold on interceptions.

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:47.680
<v Speaker 1>Brock Perty had two today. He's still out played Jalen Hurts.

0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 1>I just don't And by the way, one of Pretty's

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 1>picks was awful. The other one, you know it's windy.

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 1>I give it. I give both these quarterbacks a pass.

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean aj Brown twice they threw the ball down

0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:59.040
<v Speaker 1>the field. He was like a center fielder that lost

0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 1>it in the lights, like you know, the ball's moving.

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.119
<v Speaker 1>He's a partner turner. Almost he can't he can't quite

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:07.440
<v Speaker 1>get it again. Purty throws the ball down the field.

0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:09.960
<v Speaker 1>You almost have to bake in one bad pick of

0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Sunday for Purdy, Like that's just kind of who he is.

0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:15.080
<v Speaker 1>And that's why I always say about Arnold Matt Stafford.

0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:18.600
<v Speaker 1>He throws some really ugly picks. But I'll tell you this,

0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:23.560
<v Speaker 1>here's the thing about Purdy, it doesn't affect him. He

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 1>is He's not affected by interceptions because he has so

0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 1>much confidence. First of all, how about the I mean

0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.760
<v Speaker 1>the opening here's the coaching San Francisco. The opening drive,

0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, devastatingly brilliant. San Francisco is seven nothing. The

0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:42.280
<v Speaker 1>trick play to Jennings probably the best timing for an

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.360
<v Speaker 1>over the top I mean, I'm not talking to like

0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:46.800
<v Speaker 1>a hook and lateral, you know, or you know, there's

0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:48.560
<v Speaker 1>some stuff in the red zone that's cute, but it's

0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:51.800
<v Speaker 1>like twelve yards. That was a big trick play. I'm

0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:53.280
<v Speaker 1>not sure you know what I thought of when I

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:55.159
<v Speaker 1>saw that. The last time I saw trick play so

0:04:55.240 --> 0:05:00.960
<v Speaker 1>perfectly called it was Edelman Patriots Ravens. Remember that throwing

0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:03.680
<v Speaker 1>out to the flat. Edelman throws it to double pass.

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:08.040
<v Speaker 1>I think he threw it to either Chris Hogan or.

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 2>What it might have been.

0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Like that's what it reminded me of, Like, oh

0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 1>my god, that says that takes a special kind of

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 1>offensive coach, because you know, you have that thing in

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:22.480
<v Speaker 1>the bag. You probably wanted to use it three times.

0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:25.599
<v Speaker 1>I thought between the opening drive, the trick play, and

0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Purty's perseverance to overcome the picks, not care about it.

0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:33.520
<v Speaker 1>It just to me it was just a masterclass in

0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:38.640
<v Speaker 1>winning a rough, tough, few mistake road game. That's how

0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:42.360
<v Speaker 1>you win in the NFL when you don't play perfect well.

0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:46.279
<v Speaker 2>Listen to Kyle in niner Land, right, it's a it's

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.960
<v Speaker 2>an intense fan base. The expectations are high, can get criticized.

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.479
<v Speaker 2>He was eight and four coming into this game in

0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.239
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs. Now he's nine and four, and the difference.

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.560
<v Speaker 2>You know, Sirianni had a good playoff record coming into this.

0:05:58.040 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 2>But we all look at their team and go, yeah,

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:01.640
<v Speaker 2>it's a lot of how like you watch this game,

0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.600
<v Speaker 2>you're like, yeah, that's Sola and Kyle with with Perty

0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:07.920
<v Speaker 2>and us check, DeMarcus Robinson, Colin. They're throwing the guys

0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.559
<v Speaker 2>number eighty one. There's not a soul in America beside

0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:12.200
<v Speaker 2>the guy's family. He has ever heard of the player.

0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:14.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, Eric Kendricks felt like was out of the

0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.039
<v Speaker 2>league a couple of years ago. As Brady said, they're

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.800
<v Speaker 2>on their seventh eight to ninth linebackers. They have no

0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:22.760
<v Speaker 2>pass rush. They are dead last in the league, you know,

0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.680
<v Speaker 2>like the Jets last in the league in interceptions forty

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 2>nine ers are last in the league in pass rush.

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.039
<v Speaker 2>But we all go, it's not really their fault. They're

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.400
<v Speaker 2>just missing everybody. You know that Nick bosas third on

0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.200
<v Speaker 2>the team in sacks. He hasn't been on the hast

0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:36.880
<v Speaker 2>played a game in three months. So I think today

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:40.640
<v Speaker 2>was you know, people try to argue for Sirianni and listen,

0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:43.360
<v Speaker 2>he's won a lot of games. But if you pulled

0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:45.800
<v Speaker 2>everyone in the NFL, I mean the two coaches today,

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.960
<v Speaker 2>it ain't even close. And this was say what you

0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.080
<v Speaker 2>want about Kyle, and this is the thing I always respect.

0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 2>We'll get into McVeigh. A lot of these young coaches,

0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:56.920
<v Speaker 2>they get pass happy solidly. These are fantastic coaches. Kyle's

0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.320
<v Speaker 2>old school man. He will run it even early in

0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.800
<v Speaker 2>the game with the Kyle call some passes. He is

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.359
<v Speaker 2>he is wired much more like a guy from his

0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:08.920
<v Speaker 2>dad's era. And that plays to the playoffs. And what

0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:11.680
<v Speaker 2>do they do tonight? They made this game weird and

0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.000
<v Speaker 2>the Eagles that they've played in that game, what seventeen

0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.080
<v Speaker 2>times this year that they ended up winning a lot

0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:17.800
<v Speaker 2>of them. But today they got into a spot where,

0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:20.840
<v Speaker 2>like this coaching staff and Brock a lot of experience,

0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:23.880
<v Speaker 2>mental toughness. We'll talk about this. I'm sure during the

0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:27.280
<v Speaker 2>draft time upstairs. You and I have talked about this before,

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 2>just playing the position. But I thought when he threw

0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 2>that pick, I'm like, oh my god, he's gonna but

0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:36.520
<v Speaker 2>he's not mental experience, Like that's why they like him,

0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:38.560
<v Speaker 2>you know. Even me. I was like, I'm like, they're

0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 2>going to lose this game, and he drove him right

0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:41.040
<v Speaker 2>down the field.

0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:42.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they also had a really bad punt that

0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia got a field goal out of two interceptions. There

0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.200
<v Speaker 1>was every reason in the world to lose this game.

0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.000
<v Speaker 2>You could have sky Moore caught a punt at the

0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:54.480
<v Speaker 2>five yard line tonight. What are you doing?

0:07:54.640 --> 0:08:00.120
<v Speaker 1>I honestly, I will say I'm not into firing People's

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.280
<v Speaker 1>not my thing. I Mean, there's times when you see

0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:04.720
<v Speaker 1>certain coaches You're like, Okay, they're totally over their skis.

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Brandon Staley was about as hard as I've ever been

0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:10.680
<v Speaker 1>in a coach tom and that's not what we have here.

0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:14.200
<v Speaker 1>But I do think there's a discussion. Sirianni's barking it.

0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean at aj Brown, this is embarrassing. I mean

0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:25.760
<v Speaker 1>Stan Francisco walked in, and remember vict Fangio is a

0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:30.200
<v Speaker 1>respected defensive coordinator. This falls on Sirianni and the offensive staff.

0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:33.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean you and I both know that Jalen Hurts.

0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean I always laugh people in Philadelphia, they know

0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:39.080
<v Speaker 1>the truth. I run into Eagle fans everywhere in this

0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:42.160
<v Speaker 1>country and they're always like, you're too nice to Jalen Hurts,

0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.319
<v Speaker 1>And I always say, I love his intangibles. I think

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:47.520
<v Speaker 1>he's a great kid, great at the podium, great leader, tough, resilient,

0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.080
<v Speaker 1>and he does throw a nice deep ball. But you

0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:53.400
<v Speaker 1>can see the limitations here. On that final drive, two

0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:55.679
<v Speaker 1>balls were almost intercepted. I mean they I thought they

0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.040
<v Speaker 1>were going to score. I'm like, oh my god, they

0:08:57.080 --> 0:09:00.200
<v Speaker 1>got that. Hurts got that huge Dallas Goddard completion, then

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Devonte Smith and I'm like, oh, oh okay. San Francisco's tired.

0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:05.880
<v Speaker 1>They're at home, and then all of a sudden he

0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:09.200
<v Speaker 1>sales won. Then another one's almost intercepted. He is a

0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:12.720
<v Speaker 1>very limited If you take out the deep ball, he

0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:16.800
<v Speaker 1>is a pretty limited pocket quarterback. And brock Purty is

0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:20.079
<v Speaker 1>not Rock Purty gets banged up a lot. Brock Purty

0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:22.400
<v Speaker 1>can be a bit reckless. Brock's pretty damn good from

0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:25.000
<v Speaker 1>the pocket. He's pretty good in a muddy pocket.

0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:28.360
<v Speaker 2>Well. And the other thing is Tom was showing that

0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 2>with the wind throw it down. Well, It's like, Tom,

0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.120
<v Speaker 2>you're six five sixty six, so you could look down.

0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 2>Brock can't, Like, he can't even attempt that to throw

0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:38.920
<v Speaker 2>it down. He's just not tall enough. But the one

0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:42.840
<v Speaker 2>thing Perdy does that Jalen just no longer does is

0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:46.240
<v Speaker 2>leans into his legs. That there were times if Jay,

0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:48.920
<v Speaker 2>if the Eagles wanted to win this game, Jalen should

0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.040
<v Speaker 2>have had fifteen carries today because the forty nine ers

0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 2>never would have stopped it. They're playing with third stringers linebacker.

0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:56.400
<v Speaker 2>They're playing with the guy that probably thought he was

0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.360
<v Speaker 2>retired two years ago, but he doesn't want to run.

0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:02.280
<v Speaker 2>He the conversation. Forty nine er fans know a lot

0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:04.640
<v Speaker 2>about this, the Russell thing that happened, right, I want

0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:07.200
<v Speaker 2>to be a pocket quarterback, Russell. Lean into your skill,

0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:09.679
<v Speaker 2>your skills an all timer. You're the greatest playmaker we've

0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.760
<v Speaker 2>ever seen Jalen's a great playmaker, but he won't. He

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:14.920
<v Speaker 2>just wants to play like Tom Brady in it. It

0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.959
<v Speaker 2>does not work, and the OC's done. I mean, he's

0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:20.000
<v Speaker 2>one thing in Philly they will not to Alright, that'll

0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.000
<v Speaker 2>he'll be, I'm sure fired in the next forty eight hours.

0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:25.520
<v Speaker 2>He was already in trouble. But it's you could bring

0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:27.839
<v Speaker 2>in Kellen Moore, you can bring in Shane Siken. If

0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:31.120
<v Speaker 2>he's not gonna move, I don't care if Walsh is

0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:34.400
<v Speaker 2>calling the offense, They're gonna have problems because look, you know,

0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:37.480
<v Speaker 2>Kyle's offense is predicated a lot on party and Pertty

0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:40.280
<v Speaker 2>has no problem. He'll take off and run. It's not like, well,

0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:41.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't I want to prove I'm a third. What

0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:44.200
<v Speaker 2>do we gotta do to win? Well, Jalen today to

0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.959
<v Speaker 2>beat this team, you know Saquon that they were selling

0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.720
<v Speaker 2>out to stop Saquon. He had some moments, but then

0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:52.079
<v Speaker 2>he gets banged up. Just take off, bro. They were

0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:56.439
<v Speaker 2>not gonna say Jalen. You know, unlike Lamar and Michael Vick,

0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.880
<v Speaker 2>these guys that were like a track star speed, Jalen

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.600
<v Speaker 2>actually is much more like a Frank Gore. But his

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.960
<v Speaker 2>instincts is a running back or elite when he's in

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.120
<v Speaker 2>the open field, but he hates doing it. Clearly he

0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:08.199
<v Speaker 2>doesn't want to do it.

0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:11.800
<v Speaker 1>Pretty now, four of his five playoff wins are game

0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:13.199
<v Speaker 1>winning drives.

0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:16.480
<v Speaker 2>You got to give him credit. Calm, that was all brought.

0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.600
<v Speaker 1>I was saying when he threw his second pick. First

0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.120
<v Speaker 1>one was ugly, second one, it's windy. It's man the

0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:26.880
<v Speaker 1>man coverage. I have always defended Darnold. I remember when

0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Perty on a Monday night football game had three picks

0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:31.000
<v Speaker 1>against Carolina, and I said, he's not healthy. You can

0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:33.960
<v Speaker 1>tell the ball's dying. Purty's ball doesn't die. Remember he

0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:35.679
<v Speaker 1>threw those two over the middle picks. They both died,

0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:38.280
<v Speaker 1>were both behind the receiver, and I said, this isn't

0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:41.080
<v Speaker 1>the real Purty. Purty's ball doesn't die. He's got a

0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:42.920
<v Speaker 1>good arm. He doesn't have a great arm, but he's

0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:46.040
<v Speaker 1>got a good arm. He also was five for seven

0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:49.920
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and twenty six passer rating once they lost Kittle.

0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.040
<v Speaker 1>I by the way, I've seen Purty in the last

0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:56.240
<v Speaker 1>month win twice without Kittle, so that to me is growth.

0:11:56.440 --> 0:12:01.400
<v Speaker 1>They had Trent Williams, but this Shanahan has a real

0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:05.240
<v Speaker 1>offensive philosophy. I'll go back to Nick Sirianni. What is

0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:08.559
<v Speaker 1>his You don't see you see the coaching with Kurt Signetty.

0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:12.000
<v Speaker 1>You saw the coaching today with Kyle Shanahan. You don't

0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:14.120
<v Speaker 1>see it with Sirianni. What is he?

0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.079
<v Speaker 2>Well can I and how He's probably gonna get mad

0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:20.839
<v Speaker 2>at me about this, But they made a mistake. Aj

0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:23.120
<v Speaker 2>clearly wanted out. It was not going well. They should

0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:25.520
<v Speaker 2>have traded him at the trade deadline. Because one thing

0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:28.160
<v Speaker 2>that was very evident today is the forty nine Ers

0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:31.280
<v Speaker 2>guys and by the time they were, you know, halftime

0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:34.720
<v Speaker 2>of this game, it's it's you check McCaffrey's probably sixty

0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:38.880
<v Speaker 2>percent some random wide receivers. They're ten toes deep all in.

0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:42.360
<v Speaker 2>They are gonna go down swinging. They are all to

0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.720
<v Speaker 2>get Trent Williams is playing probably seventy percent with a hamstring.

0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:49.079
<v Speaker 2>It is no point. They really like each other. A. J.

0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Brown's like drops the balls, like whatever, you know, I'll

0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.920
<v Speaker 2>be gone anyway in a couple months. Anytime you bring

0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:57.360
<v Speaker 2>that in, you got him and Sirianni barking at each other.

0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:00.280
<v Speaker 2>And listen, I know Brady's like, hey, emotions, there's that's

0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:03.880
<v Speaker 2>different between just emotions players. These two. This whole thing

0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:04.640
<v Speaker 2>now John.

0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Two years, get him out of here. Defonte's Smith is

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:12.000
<v Speaker 1>the number one. Goddard is one of the top six

0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.520
<v Speaker 1>tight ends in the game. Saque, this is a team

0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:19.840
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't need a number one. They've got one. Infante's

0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.320
<v Speaker 1>a low one. AJ's a higher one. But I think

0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:25.439
<v Speaker 1>what bothered me was the effort, you know, because AJ

0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Brown complains a lot, and he had that ball that

0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:30.600
<v Speaker 1>he kind of lost, so they went back to him

0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.920
<v Speaker 1>and he did it again. And that's when Sirianni raced

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.600
<v Speaker 1>down it as if to say, bro, you are barking

0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot. We threw you ball twice. You wentz for

0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:41.000
<v Speaker 1>two and those are catchable balls.

0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:44.760
<v Speaker 2>That thing, that thing just catches up to you, you know.

0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:48.040
<v Speaker 2>And I think today was very, very evident about the

0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.160
<v Speaker 2>fractures internally, because the one thing you say, their defense

0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:53.240
<v Speaker 2>is really good. I mean the defense took a trick play.

0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:55.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean it took you know, their offense just going

0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:59.480
<v Speaker 2>three and out punting constantly. Their defense was fine. They

0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:00.800
<v Speaker 2>had a defense so that you could win a super

0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:04.679
<v Speaker 2>Bowl with. They feel like the crappiest talented offense I've

0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:06.920
<v Speaker 2>ever seen, because there's no disputing the talent they have

0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:10.520
<v Speaker 2>on the offense, right, I mean, it's it's really hard

0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:14.280
<v Speaker 2>to watch, but they don't have a coach, the play caller.

0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:17.800
<v Speaker 2>First time Colin plays just completely outmatched. You saw Robert

0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:20.520
<v Speaker 2>Sala who I mean, it sucks for forty nine of people.

0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:22.560
<v Speaker 2>He's probably gonna get a had job. You know. I

0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:25.520
<v Speaker 2>think that his Jets tenure felt like an age better

0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:28.680
<v Speaker 2>with every game they played. You know Sam Darnold too.

0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:33.840
<v Speaker 2>I just think that that was that was one of

0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:37.560
<v Speaker 2>the best Kyle Shanahan jobs you'll you'll ever see. They

0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.160
<v Speaker 2>had one against Green Bay, remember in a cold game

0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:42.120
<v Speaker 2>against Aaron Rodgers. He had won the MVP and they

0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:45.000
<v Speaker 2>blocked a punt. But that team was much better. This

0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:47.960
<v Speaker 2>team had no business that they would have probably been

0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:50.880
<v Speaker 2>in a game against Carolina like let alone the talent

0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:53.960
<v Speaker 2>of that Eagle team on the road in the in

0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:56.840
<v Speaker 2>the under the lights, that first grade of a win

0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:58.480
<v Speaker 2>is this for Kyle and the forty nine ers, and

0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:00.800
<v Speaker 2>it is. That's one of the worst ploff losses you'll

0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:02.840
<v Speaker 2>ever see. It really is fact.

0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:06.080
<v Speaker 1>During the tire Sirianni preaches, win the turnover battle. You're

0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:09.680
<v Speaker 1>at home, you win the turnover battle. I mean, think

0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:11.400
<v Speaker 1>about that, George.

0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:13.080
<v Speaker 2>You get a second half intercept.

0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:15.880
<v Speaker 1>George Kittle gets hurt, the Niners have a twenty seven

0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:20.040
<v Speaker 1>yard punt, everything lined up, and you still couldn't win.

0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:23.480
<v Speaker 1>And again, I'll say it, when you watch great coaching,

0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:29.080
<v Speaker 1>you can see the coaching through the television. Vic Fangio's coaching,

0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I can see Brian I can see Brian Flores coaching defensively,

0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:36.360
<v Speaker 1>hyper aggressive. I have no idea what the Eagles offensive

0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:40.480
<v Speaker 1>philosophy is. That's why they are so coordinator dependent. Like

0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:45.920
<v Speaker 1>McVeigh and Shanahan, Andy Reider not coordinator dependent. Harbor, his

0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:51.400
<v Speaker 1>career hasn't been coordinated dependent. Nick Serreanni is completely utterly

0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:57.080
<v Speaker 1>coordinator dependent. And in the end, twenty three to nineteen

0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Niners win. Uh. By the way, so.

0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:03.240
<v Speaker 2>I got one for you really quick, Colin. I mean,

0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:06.240
<v Speaker 2>if you were a Philly you know he worked from

0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:09.080
<v Speaker 2>nineteen ninety eight to two thousand and seven for the

0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:12.080
<v Speaker 2>Philadelphia Eagles, would you be very interested in John Harbaugh

0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:13.400
<v Speaker 2>because he's just a way better guy.

0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, But I don't know if Howie Roseman wants somebody

0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:23.200
<v Speaker 1>that has that much personality, culture and power, like Howie

0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:26.920
<v Speaker 1>struggled with Chip Kelly. Remember he battled with Chip because

0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Chip sees the world differently. Harbaugh's not coming in and

0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:33.320
<v Speaker 1>having and having a GM that makes all the calls that.

0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:35.400
<v Speaker 1>I think he'd be great, but I don't think he works.

0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:39.640
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Stefanski. I would who doesn't have any interest in

0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:43.320
<v Speaker 1>the personnel, like and Andy Reid, like he he's very

0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:46.960
<v Speaker 1>respectful of the position. Stefanski wants to coach. Oh, I

0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:49.040
<v Speaker 1>could see Stefanski going there in a heartbeat.

0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:52.000
<v Speaker 2>They already got the defense set up, you got the

0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:54.840
<v Speaker 2>defensive coordinator under contract, you got the players, you got

0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:58.640
<v Speaker 2>players on offense. I think, listen, the OC has been

0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:02.560
<v Speaker 2>a polarizing individual. Wall Sea's long. I think this Sirianni

0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:04.640
<v Speaker 2>thing will get loud here in the next mes philadelph

0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:06.000
<v Speaker 2>the way, it's what makes.

0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Forty nine ers. Now we'll go to Seattle. Seattle is

0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:12.120
<v Speaker 1>a six and a half point favorite according to hard

0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Rock Bet. The Rams will be a four and a

0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:20.879
<v Speaker 1>half point favorite at the Bears. Uh. I don't know.

0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:21.640
<v Speaker 1>I think I would.

0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:23.720
<v Speaker 2>You said Rams are a four and a half point

0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:24.399
<v Speaker 2>my favorite COG.

0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:27.440
<v Speaker 1>I think I would probably take both dogs. I would

0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:29.760
<v Speaker 1>take the Niners plus six and a half to keep

0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:33.720
<v Speaker 1>it close, although you can prepare now knowing Kittle's not

0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:37.159
<v Speaker 1>going to play that hurts. Also, also, this is a

0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:40.040
<v Speaker 1>really physical game. Just let's just wait for injuries on

0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:43.399
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco Bears plus four and a half. I'm telling you,

0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Soldier Fields twenty six miles from my house. It's like

0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:48.440
<v Speaker 1>I could hear the place at the end of that game.

0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:52.280
<v Speaker 1>That place was wild. Four and a half is a

0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:54.639
<v Speaker 1>lot of points. It's going to be really cold and

0:17:54.680 --> 0:18:00.960
<v Speaker 1>crappy weather. Yeah, yeah, I think I like thee.

0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Like the Angels and the football gods are just hanging

0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:05.760
<v Speaker 2>out in Chicago this year, So I wouldn't touch the

0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:09.240
<v Speaker 2>Bears at this point. The Niners, you know, Chicago. I

0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:11.520
<v Speaker 2>would say the thing about Chicago and the forty nine Ers,

0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:15.040
<v Speaker 2>their seasons were both validated Saturday night and Sunday afternoon,

0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Sunday night, like this, they're playing with house money. The

0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:20.639
<v Speaker 2>thing you would say with Chicago, they just still have

0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:24.960
<v Speaker 2>more firepower, you know, dressing out on game day, so

0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:27.719
<v Speaker 2>you can never count them out because offensively, I mean

0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:30.560
<v Speaker 2>Lovelin looked like Kelsey in his prime. The other receivers

0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:33.560
<v Speaker 2>they have, I mean, Caleb's magic. It does feel like

0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:35.879
<v Speaker 2>the forty nine ers. It's gonna be hard to not

0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:40.200
<v Speaker 2>be out of gas after losing George Kittle, who really

0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:44.240
<v Speaker 2>is the heartbeat of the operation. He's so good. Terror's Achilles.

0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:47.080
<v Speaker 2>I'd be it's a pretty good spot for Seattle. You

0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:49.080
<v Speaker 2>just killed them. I think you'll get some fight, but

0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:51.320
<v Speaker 2>I would imagine that's not gonna be a nice weather

0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:54.440
<v Speaker 2>game Seattle mid January, and I don't know, they don't

0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:56.280
<v Speaker 2>have the game time to do that. No, not ye.

0:18:57.880 --> 0:19:00.680
<v Speaker 2>I would say that's a pretty good draw. I'm sure

0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:03.200
<v Speaker 2>we'll get into the Rams. But you know this might

0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:04.679
<v Speaker 2>open up a little bit for the Rams. You get

0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:07.440
<v Speaker 2>the Eagles defense out of there. You know, you get

0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:09.440
<v Speaker 2>a lineup if they can take care of Chicago, which

0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:11.600
<v Speaker 2>is going to be difficult with a matchup with the

0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:15.360
<v Speaker 2>team they know very well in Seattle. So they got

0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:17.320
<v Speaker 2>life after yesterday. God, they looked weird.

<v Speaker 1>Buffalo Bills twenty seven, Jaguars twenty four. By the way,

0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Josh Allen, while trailing today, went fourteen of sixteen with

0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:06.080
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and thirty three passer rating and three total touchdowns.

0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:11.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, Josh Allen was ninety percent of the bill's

0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:15.600
<v Speaker 1>yards lebron Esque five for five and sixty five of

0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:19.320
<v Speaker 1>sixty six total yards on the game winning drive. You know,

0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:23.359
<v Speaker 1>playing from behind on the road, being totally dependent on

0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:27.240
<v Speaker 1>one guy isn't a recipe for success. You know, somebody

0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:29.440
<v Speaker 1>had said it, whoever won that game is going to win,

0:21:31.720 --> 0:21:35.800
<v Speaker 1>is going to win the AFC. I don't believe. I mean, listen,

0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:38.560
<v Speaker 1>Josh Allens is as good a football player if I've

0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:40.040
<v Speaker 1>ever seen in my life. I mean, I'll just say

0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:41.840
<v Speaker 1>that he's as good a football player in the history

0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:44.080
<v Speaker 1>of the game I put him. I think he's better

0:21:44.080 --> 0:21:45.920
<v Speaker 1>than Elway. I think he's better than Marino. I think

0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:50.480
<v Speaker 1>he's I think he's more talented than Mahomes. I just

0:21:50.520 --> 0:21:53.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know how long forget a superhero. He's like Zeus,

0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:54.919
<v Speaker 1>He's like a god among gods. Like it's just a

0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:58.479
<v Speaker 1>different level of player. What was your big take? I mean,

0:21:58.520 --> 0:22:00.800
<v Speaker 1>by the way he got checked for concussion, he twisted

0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:03.119
<v Speaker 1>his knee, so he was not playing in one hundred percent,

0:22:03.440 --> 0:22:05.760
<v Speaker 1>and yet he wins in Jacksonville. What'd you make of it?

0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:11.280
<v Speaker 2>I thought, you, like everyone, he was remarkable. That that

0:22:11.520 --> 0:22:15.200
<v Speaker 2>was the Jags are really good, like really good. Now,

0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:17.359
<v Speaker 2>the quarterback was a little shaky, and that was a

0:22:17.359 --> 0:22:20.080
<v Speaker 2>big difference in the game. I thought, I mean, Josh

0:22:20.160 --> 0:22:23.600
<v Speaker 2>dominated the game. The Cook, who is you know, one

0:22:23.640 --> 0:22:26.120
<v Speaker 2>of the better non quarterback offensive players in the league,

0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:28.680
<v Speaker 2>had forty six yards on the ground. But part of

0:22:28.720 --> 0:22:31.600
<v Speaker 2>that's Jacksonville. It's hard to run against them. I just

0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:35.719
<v Speaker 2>thought Buffalo all their chips going into this game were

0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:38.800
<v Speaker 2>on him being a plus, and he was. His stats

0:22:38.800 --> 0:22:40.640
<v Speaker 2>don't even do him justice, right, this is the one

0:22:40.680 --> 0:22:44.600
<v Speaker 2>touchdown in the air he ran for two. But the

0:22:44.600 --> 0:22:46.679
<v Speaker 2>Toush pushes which bit them in the you know what

0:22:46.800 --> 0:22:49.159
<v Speaker 2>against the Chiefs, right, And they were mentioned this on

0:22:49.200 --> 0:22:51.919
<v Speaker 2>the broadcast. They told Dance Spagnola last year he likes

0:22:51.920 --> 0:22:53.760
<v Speaker 2>to go left on the Toush push. They knew it

0:22:53.840 --> 0:22:55.280
<v Speaker 2>was coming and he was just getting I mean the

0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:59.040
<v Speaker 2>one that went almost ten years parts. I don't know

0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:01.240
<v Speaker 2>where you stood. But when they had a minute left

0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:03.879
<v Speaker 2>and the Jags only had one time out, I probably

0:23:03.880 --> 0:23:05.800
<v Speaker 2>would have melt it and ran that thing down to

0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:08.480
<v Speaker 2>like twenty five seconds and then tried to just three

0:23:08.520 --> 0:23:11.840
<v Speaker 2>touch pushes because they had the timeouts. Their kicker in

0:23:11.920 --> 0:23:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Jacksonville can kick it from like eighty yards. The Bills

0:23:14.840 --> 0:23:17.760
<v Speaker 2>defense is obviously they made a great play but I

0:23:17.800 --> 0:23:20.399
<v Speaker 2>thought that was pretty bold just to score that fast.

0:23:20.840 --> 0:23:23.560
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I mean I thought, you know, Jokic, it's

0:23:23.640 --> 0:23:27.280
<v Speaker 2>much more of an NBA operation, Steph Curry, Lebron, Kobe

0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:29.359
<v Speaker 2>in his prime, just a guy that's completely unstopable. You

0:23:29.359 --> 0:23:32.040
<v Speaker 2>don't really see that. I mean though, right because Peyton

0:23:32.080 --> 0:23:34.560
<v Speaker 2>Manning or Tom Brady's team were much more balanced, that's

0:23:34.600 --> 0:23:35.040
<v Speaker 2>not the case.

0:23:35.200 --> 0:23:36.600
<v Speaker 1>The Bears did it, and we'll get to them in

0:23:36.640 --> 0:23:39.680
<v Speaker 1>a minute. But the Bears scored very, very quickly, and

0:23:39.760 --> 0:23:41.879
<v Speaker 1>so I think sometimes in these playoff games, I mean,

0:23:41.960 --> 0:23:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Jacksonville doesn't get to the playoffs much. They just want

0:23:44.440 --> 0:23:46.760
<v Speaker 1>the points. You know, They're just gonna take the points.

0:23:47.000 --> 0:23:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Chicago didn't get to the playoffs much. They're facing Green Bay.

0:23:49.960 --> 0:23:52.200
<v Speaker 1>If we can take a touchdown. That's what Lincoln Riley

0:23:52.200 --> 0:23:53.960
<v Speaker 1>said when they took the lead on Illinois. It's like,

0:23:53.960 --> 0:23:55.760
<v Speaker 1>we're on the road, I'm gonna take We're gonna go

0:23:55.800 --> 0:23:58.840
<v Speaker 1>for the touchdown. So I'll never rip a staff for

0:23:58.960 --> 0:24:03.359
<v Speaker 1>doing that. Like sometimes you're like, guys, this is foreign territory.

0:24:03.560 --> 0:24:06.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm not like I thought Ben Johnson got too cute

0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:09.000
<v Speaker 1>in his coaching. I think Liam Curry's like let's just

0:24:09.040 --> 0:24:10.800
<v Speaker 1>get in the end zone. Let's not worry about it.

0:24:10.960 --> 0:24:13.280
<v Speaker 1>If they beat us like that, then then we lost

0:24:13.320 --> 0:24:19.119
<v Speaker 1>to an all time great. You know when it's funny

0:24:19.119 --> 0:24:24.960
<v Speaker 1>about Buffalo. So like I didn't think Jacksonville played poorly,

0:24:26.560 --> 0:24:29.480
<v Speaker 1>they did get beat by the Rams soundly earlier this year.

0:24:30.800 --> 0:24:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Jacksonville's one of those teams, and I really failed to

0:24:34.240 --> 0:24:36.480
<v Speaker 1>buy into them all year until the last two weeks

0:24:36.480 --> 0:24:38.359
<v Speaker 1>when they beat Denver. I was like, Okay, I can't

0:24:38.359 --> 0:24:42.120
<v Speaker 1>deny this. Do we take something from this because they

0:24:42.160 --> 0:24:45.199
<v Speaker 1>they were Buffalo was a favorite in this game, and

0:24:45.240 --> 0:24:47.120
<v Speaker 1>I didn't get the line. I said, I don't understand

0:24:47.119 --> 0:24:48.679
<v Speaker 1>the line. I think it should be like I think,

0:24:48.760 --> 0:24:51.760
<v Speaker 1>I think Jacksonville should be like a three point favorite,

0:24:52.400 --> 0:24:54.160
<v Speaker 1>not a point and a half dog. Like I thought

0:24:54.160 --> 0:24:55.760
<v Speaker 1>the line was four points off.

0:24:56.119 --> 0:24:58.639
<v Speaker 2>But I think I think it flipped by kickoff. I

0:24:58.640 --> 0:25:01.040
<v Speaker 2>think it was like JAG's bos one. So I think

0:25:01.040 --> 0:25:03.880
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of money came in on Buffalo over the.

0:25:03.760 --> 0:25:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Course of the I did think early in the game,

0:25:08.600 --> 0:25:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Sean McDermot and his staff I could see the plan,

0:25:13.040 --> 0:25:15.720
<v Speaker 1>like I thought they came and energized because they'd struggled

0:25:15.720 --> 0:25:18.240
<v Speaker 1>all year. As a first half team. But I watched

0:25:18.280 --> 0:25:20.959
<v Speaker 1>the first half and I was like, I kind of

0:25:20.960 --> 0:25:23.840
<v Speaker 1>felt like I was watching the plan and I was like, okay,

0:25:23.960 --> 0:25:25.879
<v Speaker 1>because my fear all week. I was like, oh, I

0:25:25.920 --> 0:25:28.399
<v Speaker 1>could see it being twenty one to three and Jacksonville

0:25:28.520 --> 0:25:33.240
<v Speaker 1>just coming out home playoff game. Buffalo's a slow starting team.

0:25:33.560 --> 0:25:36.040
<v Speaker 1>But I thought Buffalo's first half it's not just the

0:25:36.119 --> 0:25:37.680
<v Speaker 1>end of the game. I thought they'd played a really

0:25:37.720 --> 0:25:43.359
<v Speaker 1>strong first half. It was imperfect, but you know, I

0:25:43.960 --> 0:25:47.760
<v Speaker 1>said all year long, I don't trust Jacksonville. They're just released,

0:25:47.800 --> 0:25:51.080
<v Speaker 1>they're squirrely. I don't trust them. Did you feel like

0:25:51.160 --> 0:25:53.879
<v Speaker 1>it was like are you disappointed with the Jags or

0:25:53.880 --> 0:25:56.159
<v Speaker 1>do you feel like you know it's just the first

0:25:56.359 --> 0:25:59.879
<v Speaker 1>Liam Cohen step and this is it's always been about

0:26:00.280 --> 0:26:02.720
<v Speaker 1>and playoff football.

0:26:02.840 --> 0:26:05.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, their team is really talented, but their quarterback had

0:26:05.800 --> 0:26:07.919
<v Speaker 2>been lights out the last two months of the season.

0:26:08.320 --> 0:26:11.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean he had been in December. He was There

0:26:11.400 --> 0:26:14.760
<v Speaker 2>was not a hotter team coming into the NFL, and

0:26:15.040 --> 0:26:17.960
<v Speaker 2>he was a massive part of it. Today, I thought

0:26:17.960 --> 0:26:19.719
<v Speaker 2>he was all over the map. I mean, obviously he

0:26:19.760 --> 0:26:23.040
<v Speaker 2>made some nice passes, but there were passes he was

0:26:23.080 --> 0:26:26.359
<v Speaker 2>putting it into Harm's way constantly. There was a gap.

0:26:26.800 --> 0:26:29.480
<v Speaker 2>This happens in the NBA series. A lot right. Pick

0:26:29.520 --> 0:26:31.920
<v Speaker 2>the team with the best player is usually the old

0:26:31.920 --> 0:26:34.640
<v Speaker 2>adage when gambling on a playoff series in the NBA.

0:26:35.119 --> 0:26:36.840
<v Speaker 2>That was kind of my logic in this game, because

0:26:36.840 --> 0:26:39.359
<v Speaker 2>I think if you reverse the quarterbacks and push Josh

0:26:39.400 --> 0:26:41.800
<v Speaker 2>Allen on the Jags, Jags would win this thing, like

0:26:41.880 --> 0:26:44.800
<v Speaker 2>thirty five to ten. They would kill them. It would

0:26:44.920 --> 0:26:46.760
<v Speaker 2>if you told me Josh Allen's on the Jags roster.

0:26:46.800 --> 0:26:49.000
<v Speaker 2>I think the Jags would cruise some Super Bowl in

0:26:49.040 --> 0:26:52.119
<v Speaker 2>the AFC. And Trevor had like taken the step and

0:26:52.119 --> 0:26:53.920
<v Speaker 2>been like, Okay, this is the guy that we had

0:26:54.000 --> 0:26:56.320
<v Speaker 2>kind of anointed. They gave two hundred million dollars to

0:26:56.480 --> 0:26:59.159
<v Speaker 2>last year, and today I thought, actually they got a

0:26:59.160 --> 0:27:02.840
<v Speaker 2>little pass half. I get when McVeigh does it. It's

0:27:02.880 --> 0:27:05.000
<v Speaker 2>like I don't always agree, but it's like he's got Stafford,

0:27:05.080 --> 0:27:08.119
<v Speaker 2>he leans on him, okay, or Andy, he's got Mahomesy.

0:27:08.520 --> 0:27:11.080
<v Speaker 2>Like Trevor was shaky, you were. They were running it

0:27:11.119 --> 0:27:14.119
<v Speaker 2>for over six yards of Carrie etn a ten carries

0:27:14.119 --> 0:27:17.400
<v Speaker 2>for almost seventy yards. John the Twutin guy had four

0:27:17.440 --> 0:27:19.880
<v Speaker 2>carries for fifty yards. He was and his longest run

0:27:20.040 --> 0:27:21.360
<v Speaker 2>was twenty, so it's not like he had a forty

0:27:21.440 --> 0:27:23.959
<v Speaker 2>yard run. They were having. The Bills are not. They

0:27:23.960 --> 0:27:25.879
<v Speaker 2>have a lot of guys on defense beside their d

0:27:25.960 --> 0:27:29.800
<v Speaker 2>line's good, but their safeties and linebackers aren't exactly you know,

0:27:29.920 --> 0:27:32.880
<v Speaker 2>John Lynch and ray Lewis, so you can push. That's

0:27:32.920 --> 0:27:34.840
<v Speaker 2>the thing with Baltimore when they lost him last year,

0:27:34.840 --> 0:27:36.680
<v Speaker 2>It's like, how did you guys not just lean on them?

0:27:36.960 --> 0:27:38.879
<v Speaker 2>When you get pass happy in the NFL, look at

0:27:38.880 --> 0:27:41.960
<v Speaker 2>the diners. Weird things can happen. dB can kind of

0:27:41.960 --> 0:27:43.639
<v Speaker 2>stay in your hip pocket, a ball gets tipped, the

0:27:43.640 --> 0:27:47.600
<v Speaker 2>ball's picked, and I thought, you know Liam Cohen, I

0:27:47.760 --> 0:27:49.960
<v Speaker 2>understand his quarterback had a bunch of momentum, but you

0:27:49.960 --> 0:27:51.679
<v Speaker 2>can feel it out in the game, like, hey, Trevor's

0:27:51.680 --> 0:27:54.120
<v Speaker 2>a little off. And the other thing that benefited Buffalo

0:27:54.240 --> 0:27:58.639
<v Speaker 2>is you watch Chicago, you watch Philly were it's freezing cold.

0:27:58.680 --> 0:28:01.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean people were in the pool. There benefit Josh

0:28:01.320 --> 0:28:03.359
<v Speaker 2>Allen to play in a seventy degree day. Yeah.

0:28:03.400 --> 0:28:06.280
<v Speaker 1>And the other thing is when I look at that game,

0:28:07.440 --> 0:28:11.359
<v Speaker 1>is that like I love Parker Washington. I mean the

0:28:11.400 --> 0:28:12.960
<v Speaker 1>fact that he was a sixth round pick. There's so

0:28:13.000 --> 0:28:15.000
<v Speaker 1>much talent in this league. Kittle's a fifth round pick,

0:28:15.040 --> 0:28:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Parker Washington is six. I think brock Perty's a seventh.

0:28:17.720 --> 0:28:19.439
<v Speaker 1>I think Jennings is a six or a seventh for

0:28:19.440 --> 0:28:21.680
<v Speaker 1>the forty nine ers. There's so much damn talent in

0:28:21.680 --> 0:28:23.879
<v Speaker 1>the NFL. I mean, there's so much talent just spread

0:28:23.880 --> 0:28:27.439
<v Speaker 1>across the world. Parker Washington is I'm trying to think

0:28:27.480 --> 0:28:29.840
<v Speaker 1>of the great ab was a sixth round draft pick,

0:28:29.920 --> 0:28:32.000
<v Speaker 1>the great mel Gray was a sixth round draft pick.

0:28:32.080 --> 0:28:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Parker Washington sixth round draft Like, there's been great players

0:28:36.160 --> 0:28:38.600
<v Speaker 1>in the sixth round at wide receiver, and that's a

0:28:38.600 --> 0:28:40.960
<v Speaker 1>position there's just a lot of, you know, especially in

0:28:40.960 --> 0:28:43.960
<v Speaker 1>the last ten years. But when I look at Trevor

0:28:44.040 --> 0:28:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Lawrence Is, I think it was one of those things.

0:28:47.960 --> 0:28:50.760
<v Speaker 1>He was so good as a freshman at Clemson, beating Alabama.

0:28:51.200 --> 0:28:52.960
<v Speaker 1>He was so good in high school, he was so

0:28:53.040 --> 0:28:55.440
<v Speaker 1>good in college that I think I always just put

0:28:55.520 --> 0:28:57.800
<v Speaker 1>him in this elite Andrew Luck class, and when I

0:28:57.840 --> 0:29:01.160
<v Speaker 1>watch him play, I think he's really good. He's not

0:29:01.280 --> 0:29:05.560
<v Speaker 1>a great talent. He's a good quarterback. His arm is good.

0:29:05.760 --> 0:29:09.920
<v Speaker 1>It's not great. His athletic ability is good, it's not

0:29:10.240 --> 0:29:13.360
<v Speaker 1>it's it's not like a plus plus. I think he's

0:29:13.400 --> 0:29:18.680
<v Speaker 1>a good quarterback, but I think I've just overvalued him

0:29:18.680 --> 0:29:20.840
<v Speaker 1>because I liked him so much in college. I was

0:29:20.960 --> 0:29:23.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you beat Nick Saban and the Dynasty as a

0:29:23.280 --> 0:29:25.120
<v Speaker 1>freshman and you're like key to the game. It's like,

0:29:25.360 --> 0:29:27.840
<v Speaker 1>I just couldn't unsee that, and I just for years.

0:29:27.840 --> 0:29:30.320
<v Speaker 1>And it's funny because Greg Cosell very early came on

0:29:30.320 --> 0:29:33.360
<v Speaker 1>my show. It was like year two of Josh Allen

0:29:33.680 --> 0:29:36.560
<v Speaker 1>and he goes, Trevor Lawrence is not close to Josh Allen.

0:29:36.560 --> 0:29:38.320
<v Speaker 1>He goes, I'm just telling you what the tape says.

0:29:38.960 --> 0:29:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Josh Allen is going to be so much better. And

0:29:42.400 --> 0:29:45.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, really, okay, Well, I mean Trevor's banged up,

0:29:45.880 --> 0:29:48.120
<v Speaker 1>and I think I've just always overvalued Trevor, who is

0:29:48.160 --> 0:29:51.160
<v Speaker 1>a good quarterback, but he's not. You watch Caleb Williams

0:29:51.320 --> 0:29:53.560
<v Speaker 1>on a couple of those throws. That fourth and eight

0:29:53.720 --> 0:29:57.720
<v Speaker 1>throw with five forty left by Caleb Williams is one

0:29:57.760 --> 0:30:00.840
<v Speaker 1>of the best throws I've ever seen in a football

0:30:00.880 --> 0:30:04.480
<v Speaker 1>game by a quarterback, a right hander throwing moving left.

0:30:04.680 --> 0:30:06.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm just watching him like I don't even know what

0:30:06.360 --> 0:30:08.520
<v Speaker 1>that and then they show it from behind Caleb and

0:30:08.520 --> 0:30:11.240
<v Speaker 1>you're like, what the hell did he see? Like how

0:30:11.280 --> 0:30:12.040
<v Speaker 1>did he do that?

0:30:12.120 --> 0:30:13.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, there are three guys. There are three guys in

0:30:13.760 --> 0:30:16.040
<v Speaker 2>the league that could have pulled that off, obviously Caleb,

0:30:16.160 --> 0:30:18.880
<v Speaker 2>Josh and Justin Herbert. And now looking back, Josh and

0:30:19.000 --> 0:30:21.280
<v Speaker 2>Justin Herbert, I think we'd all agree are just pure

0:30:21.280 --> 0:30:23.880
<v Speaker 2>talent wise, as talented as any human beings that have

0:30:23.960 --> 0:30:26.160
<v Speaker 2>played in this league. When you talk about size, speed

0:30:26.640 --> 0:30:31.080
<v Speaker 2>and arm, you know, velocity. Thing with Trevor Lawrence, he's

0:30:31.200 --> 0:30:34.080
<v Speaker 2>much closer to the to the Manning crew in terms

0:30:34.080 --> 0:30:37.240
<v Speaker 2>of arm strength Philip Rivers in his prime, but he's

0:30:37.240 --> 0:30:41.320
<v Speaker 2>not that accurate. He's not mister Accuracy. So like part

0:30:41.360 --> 0:30:43.280
<v Speaker 2>of it is like he was with this great prospect

0:30:43.720 --> 0:30:46.600
<v Speaker 2>like Luck or Peyton Manning, because that was the buzz

0:30:46.600 --> 0:30:49.520
<v Speaker 2>when he was coming out. But part Luck had a

0:30:49.520 --> 0:30:52.320
<v Speaker 2>better arm and was much more of a physical player.

0:30:52.680 --> 0:30:54.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, Trevor has some times when he's running he

0:30:54.520 --> 0:30:56.800
<v Speaker 2>gets tackled, like he goes down. You know, Josh gets

0:30:56.840 --> 0:31:00.720
<v Speaker 2>tackled he's flying forward. But I'm looking this, he threw

0:31:00.840 --> 0:31:03.960
<v Speaker 2>sixty percent and I think Brady and Peyton Mannaby the

0:31:03.960 --> 0:31:05.560
<v Speaker 2>first to tell you, like, do you watch this league now,

0:31:05.720 --> 0:31:07.840
<v Speaker 2>if you're not in the high sixties with the rules

0:31:07.880 --> 0:31:12.120
<v Speaker 2>on your side, that's a problem in an offensive oriented league,

0:31:12.120 --> 0:31:16.040
<v Speaker 2>and that they're pretty loaded offensively with talent. So I listen,

0:31:16.080 --> 0:31:18.960
<v Speaker 2>he's much improved. I think the thing that you have

0:31:19.040 --> 0:31:21.520
<v Speaker 2>to be excited for if you're Jacksonville, you know I

0:31:21.560 --> 0:31:23.440
<v Speaker 2>had him in like that to a world like this

0:31:23.520 --> 0:31:26.640
<v Speaker 2>guy making a lot of money, he's you can win

0:31:26.680 --> 0:31:28.440
<v Speaker 2>with him if you build the team. But like I

0:31:28.440 --> 0:31:30.160
<v Speaker 2>A'm betting on this guy in a playoff game when

0:31:30.200 --> 0:31:33.320
<v Speaker 2>he's playing Josh Allen or Jill Burrow or Lamar Jackson

0:31:33.360 --> 0:31:34.840
<v Speaker 2>because there's a gap there that.

0:31:35.000 --> 0:31:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's not an effort, he's not a first tier guy,

0:31:37.400 --> 0:31:39.640
<v Speaker 1>and that's okay. He's not justin Herbert. I don't think

0:31:39.640 --> 0:31:43.240
<v Speaker 1>he's c J. Stroud. C J. Stroud's accurate, like like Trevor's.

0:31:43.280 --> 0:31:45.960
<v Speaker 1>I think to your point, his delivery is a little long.

0:31:46.040 --> 0:31:48.800
<v Speaker 1>I just don't think he's a terribly accurate thrower. And

0:31:48.840 --> 0:31:51.360
<v Speaker 1>by the way, either is Caleb. But Caleb gives you

0:31:51.600 --> 0:31:56.000
<v Speaker 1>so much horsepower that you can't I mean I've said this,

0:31:56.360 --> 0:31:58.880
<v Speaker 1>and let's just go to that game. Chicago thirty one,

0:31:58.960 --> 0:32:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Green Bay twenty seven, nine hundred total yards is and

0:32:03.200 --> 0:32:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I said this after the game, I did like a

0:32:05.000 --> 0:32:08.880
<v Speaker 1>YouTube hit and I said, you know the boxes that

0:32:09.120 --> 0:32:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Lway checked, durable, unbelievable in the fourth quarter, huge arm.

0:32:17.120 --> 0:32:19.920
<v Speaker 1>We'll throw some picks, but not that many. You never

0:32:19.960 --> 0:32:22.560
<v Speaker 1>really looked at him as he was accurate, but that

0:32:22.680 --> 0:32:26.880
<v Speaker 1>wasn't his game. His game was durable, tough, smart, great

0:32:26.920 --> 0:32:30.280
<v Speaker 1>in the fourth, doesn't get hurt, doesn't throw picks in

0:32:30.320 --> 0:32:33.880
<v Speaker 1>the big spots late in games. That's kind of Caleb

0:32:33.920 --> 0:32:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Williams like, I know, you know Green Bay fans all

0:32:39.240 --> 0:32:45.320
<v Speaker 1>want to fire Matt Lafleur. But the truth is Green

0:32:45.360 --> 0:32:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Bay fans were a little delusional John with Farvan Aaron Rodgers.

0:32:49.680 --> 0:32:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Between those two for thirty years they got They got

0:32:52.720 --> 0:32:56.040
<v Speaker 1>two Super Bowls and only three trips. They don't get

0:32:56.120 --> 0:32:59.480
<v Speaker 1>free agents, they don't pay like other teams often do

0:32:59.600 --> 0:33:01.880
<v Speaker 1>for core coordinators. When you don't have an owner, you

0:33:01.920 --> 0:33:04.560
<v Speaker 1>can't make those decisions on the tarmac like Stan Kronky

0:33:04.640 --> 0:33:07.320
<v Speaker 1>can make. And when I look at green Bay once

0:33:07.360 --> 0:33:10.640
<v Speaker 1>they lose Michael Parsons it's okay, but they lost also

0:33:10.720 --> 0:33:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Kenny Clark and Micah Parsons because Kenny Clark in the

0:33:13.280 --> 0:33:15.640
<v Speaker 1>trade of Dallas and at the end of that game.

0:33:15.760 --> 0:33:17.400
<v Speaker 1>You know this, John, By the time you get to

0:33:17.440 --> 0:33:19.000
<v Speaker 1>the end of a playoff game, it's three and a

0:33:19.040 --> 0:33:22.240
<v Speaker 1>half hours of football. Your defense usually isn't at its best.

0:33:22.240 --> 0:33:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Those big uglies up front are tired. And Caleb Williams

0:33:25.280 --> 0:33:27.720
<v Speaker 1>had a little extra time. He moved out of the

0:33:27.760 --> 0:33:29.760
<v Speaker 1>pocket four or five times, and he just those guys

0:33:29.760 --> 0:33:31.840
<v Speaker 1>are tired. These are three hundred and thirty pound guys,

0:33:32.440 --> 0:33:35.560
<v Speaker 1>and so I mean, everybody, everybody wants to pile on.

0:33:35.640 --> 0:33:39.160
<v Speaker 1>But I think what the Bears did Saturday, John, this

0:33:39.200 --> 0:33:42.000
<v Speaker 1>is what they are. They've done this like six times.

0:33:42.040 --> 0:33:42.800
<v Speaker 1>This is what they are.

0:33:44.280 --> 0:33:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, listen, you've been talking about this. I

0:33:46.840 --> 0:33:49.280
<v Speaker 2>talked about it last night on the podcast. Is you

0:33:49.280 --> 0:33:53.280
<v Speaker 2>know Caleb part of when you discuss the draft prospect

0:33:53.360 --> 0:33:56.480
<v Speaker 2>and you talk ceiling. He has one of the great

0:33:56.560 --> 0:33:59.240
<v Speaker 2>arms we've ever seen. He's one of the great playmakers

0:33:59.280 --> 0:34:03.280
<v Speaker 2>we've ever seen. Physically, his ability to move is elite.

0:34:03.280 --> 0:34:06.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking behind the line of scrimmage, move and run.

0:34:06.760 --> 0:34:08.640
<v Speaker 2>Jordan Love was a first round pick at the end

0:34:08.640 --> 0:34:10.600
<v Speaker 2>of the first round. You know, Jordan Love is I

0:34:10.680 --> 0:34:13.960
<v Speaker 2>think Dak Prescott or Kirk Cousins good player, solid, but

0:34:14.040 --> 0:34:16.520
<v Speaker 2>his physical skills and he was a project once upon

0:34:16.560 --> 0:34:19.480
<v Speaker 2>a time. They're okay. He's got solid arm, pretty accurate

0:34:19.520 --> 0:34:22.560
<v Speaker 2>when he's in rhythm, can kind of move. Definitely not

0:34:22.560 --> 0:34:24.960
<v Speaker 2>the best athlete in his own quarterback room. Right, So

0:34:25.000 --> 0:34:27.920
<v Speaker 2>it's he's fine, but like you saw, the physical gifts

0:34:27.960 --> 0:34:30.400
<v Speaker 2>like both that both those two teams. Shit was kind

0:34:30.400 --> 0:34:32.480
<v Speaker 2>of hitting the fan. You need to make some stuff happen.

0:34:32.960 --> 0:34:36.520
<v Speaker 2>And one thing, Caleb, why you can't really nitpick on

0:34:36.600 --> 0:34:39.239
<v Speaker 2>the accuracy right now and listen, he's been inaccurate a

0:34:39.239 --> 0:34:41.680
<v Speaker 2>little bit, right, some balls are flying. He makes up

0:34:41.680 --> 0:34:44.719
<v Speaker 2>for it with these huge plays and obviously the play

0:34:44.840 --> 0:34:46.799
<v Speaker 2>might be played the year so far on that four

0:34:46.920 --> 0:34:49.160
<v Speaker 2>and eight, I mean save their season, right, twenty seven

0:34:49.160 --> 0:34:51.879
<v Speaker 2>to sixteen. For the eight, he throws it over. When

0:34:51.920 --> 0:34:53.799
<v Speaker 2>you really watch it in slow motion, there are three

0:34:53.880 --> 0:34:55.919
<v Speaker 2>guys in yellow right in front of him. One guy,

0:34:55.920 --> 0:34:57.840
<v Speaker 2>but you have to put it like layer the throw,

0:34:58.000 --> 0:35:01.040
<v Speaker 2>it's crazy. That's one of the great throws you've ever seen.

0:35:01.080 --> 0:35:03.279
<v Speaker 2>But so many other plays as the game went on,

0:35:03.360 --> 0:35:05.440
<v Speaker 2>he kind of gets rolling. You've been saying he's a

0:35:05.440 --> 0:35:09.600
<v Speaker 2>momentum player. Well, his momentum with this talent is unstoppable.

0:35:09.800 --> 0:35:12.560
<v Speaker 2>Like Trevor Lawrence's momentum player too, but he can only

0:35:12.560 --> 0:35:15.560
<v Speaker 2>do so much. When Josh Allen gets momentum, Holy you

0:35:15.600 --> 0:35:17.960
<v Speaker 2>know what, the avalanche is coming and there is no

0:35:18.000 --> 0:35:21.480
<v Speaker 2>stopping it. And the thing with the Bears, even unlike

0:35:21.480 --> 0:35:24.640
<v Speaker 2>the Bills, like Lovelin has a chance to be an

0:35:24.719 --> 0:35:27.680
<v Speaker 2>elite player in the NFL. DJ Moore had some drops,

0:35:27.719 --> 0:35:30.160
<v Speaker 2>but he's been a high level NFL player now for

0:35:30.200 --> 0:35:33.280
<v Speaker 2>what five six years. Roman Dunes was a top ten pick.

0:35:34.560 --> 0:35:37.280
<v Speaker 2>They got DeAndre Swift had the best year of his career.

0:35:38.120 --> 0:35:41.640
<v Speaker 2>The other running back seventh round pick, has been fantastic.

0:35:41.640 --> 0:35:43.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they got so much talent and they got

0:35:43.719 --> 0:35:47.680
<v Speaker 2>great guard center guard for smaller, shorter quarterback. Big picture,

0:35:47.800 --> 0:35:49.440
<v Speaker 2>I think they did lose their left tackle though at

0:35:49.440 --> 0:35:53.320
<v Speaker 2>the end of the game something, so that's not ideal.

0:35:53.360 --> 0:35:55.520
<v Speaker 2>But luckily, this is the thing with the Josh Allens,

0:35:55.520 --> 0:35:58.200
<v Speaker 2>the Calybs, even perty they've had, you gotta be able

0:35:58.200 --> 0:36:01.320
<v Speaker 2>to move. Jordan Love doesn't. Really, He's not a bad athlete.

0:36:01.360 --> 0:36:03.480
<v Speaker 2>But he's much closer to me, to like thirty five

0:36:03.560 --> 0:36:06.120
<v Speaker 2>year old Dak Prescott than he is to these mobile quarterbacks.

0:36:06.520 --> 0:36:08.840
<v Speaker 1>The other thing is the first half is a coaching half.

0:36:08.960 --> 0:36:11.920
<v Speaker 1>To me, the second half you do need players to

0:36:11.920 --> 0:36:15.040
<v Speaker 1>make plays because you're off the script. The first half,

0:36:15.080 --> 0:36:18.040
<v Speaker 1>green Bay dominated, so don't blame Matt Lafleur. That was

0:36:18.080 --> 0:36:21.200
<v Speaker 1>basically when Jordan Love was in rhythm, on script, on

0:36:21.320 --> 0:36:24.440
<v Speaker 1>game plan. Jordan Love was rerealty good. In the second half.

0:36:26.000 --> 0:36:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Ben Johnson overthought the first half, a little desperate on

0:36:29.160 --> 0:36:31.600
<v Speaker 1>the going for it deep in his own territory. But

0:36:31.640 --> 0:36:33.759
<v Speaker 1>in the second half, that's a player's half. That's a

0:36:33.840 --> 0:36:36.799
<v Speaker 1>Josh Allen half. That's where Caleb Williams is shined. That's

0:36:36.800 --> 0:36:39.640
<v Speaker 1>where John Elway shined. That is not a knock on

0:36:40.520 --> 0:36:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Ben Johnson, but I thought Matt Lafleur won the first half, okay,

0:36:44.560 --> 0:36:48.320
<v Speaker 1>the second half is okay, quarterback versus quarterback. The gap

0:36:48.360 --> 0:36:52.480
<v Speaker 1>between Caleb and Jordan Love was substantial, Like it was.

0:36:52.719 --> 0:36:55.640
<v Speaker 1>It was a cleanup hitter and a six hitter like

0:36:55.680 --> 0:36:59.960
<v Speaker 1>it was like wow, And I actually thought Ben Johns

0:37:00.120 --> 0:37:02.239
<v Speaker 1>and got out coached, And that has not happened a

0:37:02.239 --> 0:37:03.960
<v Speaker 1>lot this year. I thought I thought the first two

0:37:04.000 --> 0:37:05.719
<v Speaker 1>two and a half quarters, I thought I thought Matt

0:37:05.760 --> 0:37:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Lafleur did a good job. But I do think ask

0:37:10.680 --> 0:37:14.160
<v Speaker 1>yourself people right now, and I guess the Bears are

0:37:14.200 --> 0:37:16.520
<v Speaker 1>more the topic than the Packers. But would would would

0:37:16.520 --> 0:37:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Matt Leaflor get a job instantly? Yes, despite blowing a

0:37:19.440 --> 0:37:21.080
<v Speaker 1>twenty one to three lead, he'd get a job in

0:37:21.200 --> 0:37:24.640
<v Speaker 1>forty eight hours. Be very careful. Green Bay far got

0:37:24.680 --> 0:37:27.440
<v Speaker 1>one Super Bowl title, Aaron Rodgers got one. And by

0:37:27.480 --> 0:37:30.440
<v Speaker 1>the way, the NFC is much better now than three

0:37:30.520 --> 0:37:33.880
<v Speaker 1>years ago. It's real. Okay, the Detroit Lions team that

0:37:33.920 --> 0:37:37.360
<v Speaker 1>beat Aaron Rodgers, remember that game when they when they

0:37:37.360 --> 0:37:39.239
<v Speaker 1>had a chance to win and go to the playoff. Yeah,

0:37:39.480 --> 0:37:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Detroit's gonna land Mike McDaniel at coordinator. They're going to

0:37:42.400 --> 0:37:45.840
<v Speaker 1>be back. Chicago's for real. The Rams are going nowhere.

0:37:45.920 --> 0:37:47.799
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia is going to get a legit coach or an

0:37:47.840 --> 0:37:50.959
<v Speaker 1>offensive coordinator. So it's like, take a deep breath, green Bay,

0:37:51.320 --> 0:37:55.000
<v Speaker 1>don't pull a Cleveland fire Stefanski, and Stefanski's the leading

0:37:55.040 --> 0:38:00.560
<v Speaker 1>candidate for half his jobs. Chicago now will face the Rams.

0:38:01.800 --> 0:38:07.400
<v Speaker 1>So the Rams. Here's the good news for Chicago Matt Stafford,

0:38:07.480 --> 0:38:10.719
<v Speaker 1>especially on the road, he'll throw an ugly pick. Their

0:38:10.760 --> 0:38:15.760
<v Speaker 1>special teams are a liability every other game, like also

0:38:16.680 --> 0:38:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Luther Burden, Roma Dunze, Colston Lovelin. I don't love the corners.

0:38:20.719 --> 0:38:22.560
<v Speaker 1>I think the Rams safeties are pretty good. I think

0:38:22.560 --> 0:38:24.759
<v Speaker 1>their corners are. It's probably gonna be their first or

0:38:24.760 --> 0:38:28.640
<v Speaker 1>second draft pick. I think Chicago's got a fighter's chance

0:38:28.640 --> 0:38:31.160
<v Speaker 1>in this game, I really do. I think the Rams

0:38:31.200 --> 0:38:33.400
<v Speaker 1>are really good. I mean, Puka was we'll get to

0:38:33.440 --> 0:38:36.200
<v Speaker 1>that and say unstoppable. But I think the Bears match

0:38:36.280 --> 0:38:38.160
<v Speaker 1>up okay against the Rams at home.

0:38:39.920 --> 0:38:43.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. The one thing Sean mcvayh will do that, you know,

0:38:43.680 --> 0:38:45.439
<v Speaker 2>Lafour tried to run the clock out in the second

0:38:45.480 --> 0:38:47.480
<v Speaker 2>half kind of he's in full and they couldn't. And

0:38:47.640 --> 0:38:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Dennis Allen deserves and the players deserve a lot of credit.

0:38:49.920 --> 0:38:52.439
<v Speaker 2>They just I don't know how many Josh Jay yards

0:38:52.480 --> 0:38:54.560
<v Speaker 2>he ran for minus the kickoff return, but had to

0:38:54.560 --> 0:38:58.280
<v Speaker 2>be under twenty. He had nowhere to go. Sean McVay

0:38:58.280 --> 0:39:00.839
<v Speaker 2>won't care. He wants to pass and sometimes he will

0:39:00.920 --> 0:39:03.719
<v Speaker 2>lean on Stafford too much. But the Bears dbs are

0:39:03.719 --> 0:39:05.880
<v Speaker 2>pretty bad right now, right Jalen Johnson.

0:39:05.960 --> 0:39:09.719
<v Speaker 1>They also lost the linebacker. They lost an edge guy,

0:39:09.800 --> 0:39:11.240
<v Speaker 1>So it's like, oh, brother, now.

0:39:11.080 --> 0:39:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Who's the hard and soul of the defense. From a

0:39:13.600 --> 0:39:16.160
<v Speaker 2>from a leadership standpoint call on the defense. They lose

0:39:16.200 --> 0:39:20.120
<v Speaker 2>their left tackle, which is not ideal, you know, against

0:39:20.160 --> 0:39:23.440
<v Speaker 2>a team with some good passage. Yeah, listen, the Rams

0:39:23.560 --> 0:39:26.120
<v Speaker 2>went through a weird stretch yesterday. I mean they look

0:39:26.239 --> 0:39:28.640
<v Speaker 2>like the team that for a couple of quarters against Arizona.

0:39:28.719 --> 0:39:31.359
<v Speaker 2>You're like Sean McVay had to look on his face

0:39:31.400 --> 0:39:33.200
<v Speaker 2>like I might just go to Amazon here in a week.

0:39:33.680 --> 0:39:37.080
<v Speaker 2>What are we doing guys? Like this is but where

0:39:37.120 --> 0:39:39.920
<v Speaker 2>you can take advantage of Chicago is those widers. I

0:39:39.920 --> 0:39:42.520
<v Speaker 2>mean Puka, I don't think we've ever seen a receiver

0:39:42.640 --> 0:39:45.200
<v Speaker 2>quite that plays like him, and DeVante is a pretty

0:39:45.200 --> 0:39:48.160
<v Speaker 2>special number two. Their tight ends, I'll catch the ball. Well,

0:39:48.320 --> 0:39:50.319
<v Speaker 2>they got multiple running backs and can catch the ball.

0:39:50.320 --> 0:39:53.600
<v Speaker 2>He can call screens. This is a more buttoned up

0:39:54.280 --> 0:39:57.680
<v Speaker 2>unit than Green Bay. But like it's not like you

0:39:57.680 --> 0:39:59.840
<v Speaker 2>get the Rams coming in with a ton of momentum.

0:40:00.080 --> 0:40:02.239
<v Speaker 2>I kind of came away from that team. It's like, yeah,

0:40:02.239 --> 0:40:03.759
<v Speaker 2>I can see the Rams winning the NFC. I could

0:40:03.760 --> 0:40:05.760
<v Speaker 2>also see them losing to anybody, and like you said,

0:40:05.960 --> 0:40:09.480
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna be a freezing cold thing. Here's that this

0:40:09.719 --> 0:40:13.399
<v Speaker 2>fan base, Like there aren't that many Luca Jacksonville to day,

0:40:13.719 --> 0:40:17.680
<v Speaker 2>it just looked like a j hum NFL random October Sunday.

0:40:18.120 --> 0:40:20.799
<v Speaker 2>The Bears game feels like LSU at night, Like it

0:40:20.880 --> 0:40:23.680
<v Speaker 2>feels like something pretty, which is cool in this day

0:40:23.719 --> 0:40:26.080
<v Speaker 2>and age where you get online everyone hates each other,

0:40:26.200 --> 0:40:28.920
<v Speaker 2>like everyone coming together. I can't even imagine the experience

0:40:28.960 --> 0:40:31.520
<v Speaker 2>of those people walking out the stadium all going to

0:40:31.560 --> 0:40:34.040
<v Speaker 2>bars after. It had to be like a religious experience

0:40:34.040 --> 0:40:36.640
<v Speaker 2>being at that game against that team, so that the

0:40:36.719 --> 0:40:40.600
<v Speaker 2>crowd is gonna be I would put it against anyone

0:40:40.680 --> 0:40:43.040
<v Speaker 2>because they have nothing to go back on, like at

0:40:43.080 --> 0:40:45.360
<v Speaker 2>least seattles, like a lot of the season ticket holders

0:40:45.360 --> 0:40:48.360
<v Speaker 2>have seen super Bowl level teams like this Bear's team.

0:40:48.640 --> 0:40:51.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is like Caleb didn't even get four

0:40:51.000 --> 0:40:53.000
<v Speaker 2>thousand yards. He's still throw for more yards than any

0:40:53.040 --> 0:40:54.960
<v Speaker 2>guy in the history of the franchise right this season.

0:40:55.000 --> 0:40:58.040
<v Speaker 2>So I just think that environment, Like you can tell

0:40:58.080 --> 0:41:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Eagles fans, I don't think they like this team because

0:41:00.440 --> 0:41:03.239
<v Speaker 2>they didn't trust Sirianni. They didn't trust Jalen Hurts the

0:41:03.400 --> 0:41:06.640
<v Speaker 2>Bear's team. I just think that environment is going to

0:41:06.719 --> 0:41:09.560
<v Speaker 2>be pretty special come next week. That is not an

0:41:09.600 --> 0:41:10.279
<v Speaker 2>easy place to.

0:41:10.239 --> 0:41:17.240

<v Speaker 1>Have you ever tried it? It's weird, like you're missing

0:41:20.000 --> 0:41:22.239
<v Speaker 1>part of the experience. The game is still great, but

0:41:22.520 --> 0:41:25.359

0:42:06.360 --> 0:42:13.240
<v Speaker 1>favorite sauce is like trying to pick your fantasy team.

0:42:13.280 --> 0:42:16.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, here's another advantage the Bears will have. I

0:42:16.640 --> 0:42:20.680
<v Speaker 1>was thinking about this today, is that you know, there's

0:42:20.719 --> 0:42:24.880
<v Speaker 1>not many pocket only quarterbacks left because Pretty actually really

0:42:25.520 --> 0:42:27.000
<v Speaker 1>moves exceptionally well.

0:42:27.000 --> 0:42:27.520
<v Speaker 2>He really does.

0:42:27.600 --> 0:42:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Pretty really moves. He's a real athlete. Jared Goff and Stafford,

0:42:32.280 --> 0:42:34.160
<v Speaker 1>you and I talked about this could have been last week.

0:42:34.560 --> 0:42:37.840
<v Speaker 1>If the initial play doesn't work for the Rams, it's over.

0:42:38.239 --> 0:42:42.160
<v Speaker 1>And sometimes Matt will uncork a really bad throw. You

0:42:42.200 --> 0:42:44.160
<v Speaker 1>go look at the last two drives for the Bears.

0:42:44.239 --> 0:42:47.480
<v Speaker 1>John If the play doesn't work, you have a separate play.

0:42:48.120 --> 0:42:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Caleb Williams just you know, Romadunze, Luther Burden, Colston Lovin.

0:42:53.160 --> 0:42:56.480
<v Speaker 1>The Bears are young. Those guys are all young. They

0:42:56.520 --> 0:42:59.960
<v Speaker 1>haven't dealt with NFL injuries. I mean, Burden's a rookie.

0:43:00.360 --> 0:43:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Loveland Roma duns it, dude, there. They got kids out there.

0:43:05.960 --> 0:43:10.360
<v Speaker 1>Those guys are high energy guys, and it kind of

0:43:10.360 --> 0:43:13.560
<v Speaker 1>turns into a seven on seven drill when the play

0:43:13.560 --> 0:43:16.120
<v Speaker 1>breaks down. So you get Ben Johnson's play design and

0:43:16.160 --> 0:43:18.560
<v Speaker 1>play calling. Oh it doesn't work, Okay, we have a

0:43:18.600 --> 0:43:21.759
<v Speaker 1>second play. The Rams have a play, and if it

0:43:21.840 --> 0:43:24.680
<v Speaker 1>doesn't work, that's the end of the play. And so

0:43:26.680 --> 0:43:31.640
<v Speaker 1>four and a half points at home with that Ram secondary.

0:43:32.719 --> 0:43:36.120
<v Speaker 1>I just I mean, I watched Josh Allen today and

0:43:36.160 --> 0:43:40.200
<v Speaker 1>then I watched Caleb Williams last night, and I think

0:43:40.239 --> 0:43:42.880
<v Speaker 1>you and I know this. It feels like the Rams

0:43:42.880 --> 0:43:47.000
<v Speaker 1>peaked about six weeks ago. They're just not quite tight.

0:43:47.040 --> 0:43:49.960
<v Speaker 1>They had an injury, Kevin Dohnson didn't play, so they

0:43:50.000 --> 0:43:51.799
<v Speaker 1>had a couple of mistakes on the offensive line. They

0:43:51.960 --> 0:43:54.120
<v Speaker 1>just didn't feel I mean, I was sitting there at

0:43:54.160 --> 0:43:57.160
<v Speaker 1>one point thinking Caroline is going to beat the Rams twice.

0:43:57.360 --> 0:43:58.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't understand the league.

0:43:59.000 --> 0:44:00.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't even understand it.

0:44:01.680 --> 0:44:05.080
<v Speaker 2>Same I. They just aren't as dominant as a pass rush.

0:44:05.239 --> 0:44:06.759
<v Speaker 2>I think as we thought they were going to be.

0:44:06.800 --> 0:44:08.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the I want to talk about this.

0:44:08.840 --> 0:44:11.319
<v Speaker 2>He's not He's not the most mobile guy. And even

0:44:11.320 --> 0:44:14.640
<v Speaker 2>he got away, Caleb's a completely thirty.

0:44:14.360 --> 0:44:17.520
<v Speaker 1>Four to thirty one Rams do beat Carolina. So I

0:44:17.600 --> 0:44:21.360
<v Speaker 1>keep hearing about Chris Shula. Oh boy, this is remember

0:44:21.400 --> 0:44:24.200
<v Speaker 1>when Brandon Staley was there? Oh this this this stay guy.

0:44:24.640 --> 0:44:28.080
<v Speaker 1>And I keep saying guys raheem Morris, Oh he was

0:44:28.120 --> 0:44:31.920
<v Speaker 1>around McVeigh. This guy's magic. Now he's fired again. I

0:44:32.000 --> 0:44:35.080
<v Speaker 1>keep hearing about Chrishula. Carolina went four for four in

0:44:35.120 --> 0:44:39.359
<v Speaker 1>the red zone Carolina. There were multiple times Carolina on

0:44:39.440 --> 0:44:43.080
<v Speaker 1>third down made huge plays. It's like, I got nothing

0:44:43.120 --> 0:44:48.280
<v Speaker 1>against Chrishula. But I felt all year that the Rams

0:44:48.360 --> 0:44:50.840
<v Speaker 1>pass rush has kind of underachieved.

0:44:52.120 --> 0:44:53.399
<v Speaker 2>I just I don't.

0:44:53.920 --> 0:44:56.200
<v Speaker 1>I have a hard time watching the Rams defense and

0:44:56.280 --> 0:45:00.840
<v Speaker 1>seeing the great coaching. I see the talent Young, Verse,

0:45:01.719 --> 0:45:08.759
<v Speaker 1>Kobe Turner, Buonaford, I see the talent now an offense

0:45:09.239 --> 0:45:12.880
<v Speaker 1>with McVeigh, I see the coaching, But this defense, to me,

0:45:14.040 --> 0:45:17.520
<v Speaker 1>feels like it should be a little now. It was

0:45:17.640 --> 0:45:19.480
<v Speaker 1>very good on the final drive when they could pin

0:45:19.520 --> 0:45:21.600
<v Speaker 1>their ears back and Bryce Young was under duressed. And

0:45:21.600 --> 0:45:24.080
<v Speaker 1>you're like, okay, but that it should look like that

0:45:24.160 --> 0:45:26.319
<v Speaker 1>during the first, second and third quarters more often, is

0:45:26.360 --> 0:45:26.760
<v Speaker 1>my point.

0:45:28.480 --> 0:45:30.080
<v Speaker 2>You know one thing that stood out to me in

0:45:30.160 --> 0:45:31.920
<v Speaker 2>a couple of weeks ago, they when they lost to

0:45:31.960 --> 0:45:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Atlanta on Monday Night. Aikman mentioned something on that broadcast.

0:45:35.440 --> 0:45:39.120
<v Speaker 2>He said that McVeigh called Verse into his office because

0:45:39.400 --> 0:45:41.759
<v Speaker 2>he wanted to show him that he's playing well even

0:45:41.800 --> 0:45:43.400
<v Speaker 2>though he doesn't have that much to show for it.

0:45:43.440 --> 0:45:46.040
<v Speaker 2>To me, that show is like you know, I mean,

0:45:46.120 --> 0:45:49.680
<v Speaker 2>I was like, well, not that there's fractures internally, but

0:45:50.840 --> 0:45:52.719
<v Speaker 2>this guy was supposed to be one of the next,

0:45:52.760 --> 0:45:54.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, the next Khalil Mack. I would have

0:45:54.840 --> 0:45:56.400
<v Speaker 2>bet on him to take a huge step and be

0:45:56.400 --> 0:45:58.080
<v Speaker 2>one of the most dominant players in the league after

0:45:58.160 --> 0:46:00.640
<v Speaker 2>last year. And you just watched these games and you

0:46:00.640 --> 0:46:04.800
<v Speaker 2>don't feel his specific presence, and you know, sometimes power

0:46:04.800 --> 0:46:07.480
<v Speaker 2>guys they just I don't know. I thought his power

0:46:07.600 --> 0:46:09.920
<v Speaker 2>was just so overwhelming it wouldn't matter. But they are

0:46:09.960 --> 0:46:12.560
<v Speaker 2>going if they're gonna win the NFC these next couple

0:46:12.640 --> 0:46:15.160
<v Speaker 2>weeks against two, you know, it's gonna be really hard

0:46:15.160 --> 0:46:18.200
<v Speaker 2>for the Niners to win, but probably against Sam Darnold

0:46:18.280 --> 0:46:22.960
<v Speaker 2>and obviously Caleb Williams, they're gonna have to just get

0:46:22.960 --> 0:46:25.600
<v Speaker 2>constant pressure and it's gonna have to start with him,

0:46:25.880 --> 0:46:28.640
<v Speaker 2>like he's got to take over these games. And you're

0:46:28.680 --> 0:46:32.240
<v Speaker 2>watching Carolina now, listen, McMillan's really talented player. That Cocher

0:46:32.320 --> 0:46:35.919
<v Speaker 2>kids playing out of his mind. Laget was a high pick.

0:46:35.920 --> 0:46:40.799
<v Speaker 2>I mean they got down absolutely, but if you got Rice,

0:46:40.840 --> 0:46:42.520
<v Speaker 2>he should fold. He's not very big and they couldn't

0:46:42.520 --> 0:46:44.400
<v Speaker 2>get around him and he was just making plays. So

0:46:45.120 --> 0:46:47.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm kind of out on the Rams just because something's

0:46:47.760 --> 0:46:49.480
<v Speaker 2>just off. I can't put my finger on it. But

0:46:49.520 --> 0:46:51.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, when you watch it, you go, I don't know,

0:46:51.080 --> 0:46:54.360
<v Speaker 2>something weird because that the way the game started. You

0:46:54.400 --> 0:46:56.560
<v Speaker 2>think they're gonna win this thing thirty to ten, and

0:46:56.600 --> 0:46:58.960
<v Speaker 2>they're up seventeen to seven driving, he goes for it,

0:46:58.960 --> 0:47:01.560
<v Speaker 2>doesn't get it. They come back score and up until

0:47:01.560 --> 0:47:03.719
<v Speaker 2>the last like five minutes of the game, they were

0:47:03.960 --> 0:47:06.960
<v Speaker 2>kind of against the ropes, way too much against a

0:47:07.000 --> 0:47:10.760
<v Speaker 2>team that listen, give give hat tip to Carolina for fighting,

0:47:10.840 --> 0:47:14.759
<v Speaker 2>but they should not be able to hold it within three. Again,

0:47:14.840 --> 0:47:15.839
<v Speaker 2>the Rams were didn't have points.

0:47:16.000 --> 0:47:19.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and again Rico doubt ol tea Mac. They've got

0:47:19.800 --> 0:47:23.120
<v Speaker 1>some offensive talent and Bryce Young. Here's my question, what

0:47:23.160 --> 0:47:25.640
<v Speaker 1>do you do with Bryce Young? I mean, he's good

0:47:25.719 --> 0:47:27.360
<v Speaker 1>enough to win that division, He's not good enough to

0:47:27.400 --> 0:47:30.360
<v Speaker 1>win a lot of divisions. I feel like he's he

0:47:30.360 --> 0:47:33.800
<v Speaker 1>would be one of those great bridge quarterbacks. He's a

0:47:33.840 --> 0:47:36.200
<v Speaker 1>little small for me, it's about five to eleven. He

0:47:36.200 --> 0:47:39.080
<v Speaker 1>did not have a big arm. He moves exceptionally well.

0:47:39.400 --> 0:47:42.160
<v Speaker 1>The players like him he's supposed to be. He's really

0:47:42.200 --> 0:47:44.400
<v Speaker 1>a good kid, like he's all in. I don't know

0:47:44.400 --> 0:47:46.200
<v Speaker 1>what to do with him. I think if you're Carolina,

0:47:46.200 --> 0:47:50.000
<v Speaker 1>if it was a great quarterback class, maybe that solves it.

0:47:50.000 --> 0:47:52.560
<v Speaker 1>It's not. So my take is, do you just extend him,

0:47:52.600 --> 0:47:54.719
<v Speaker 1>try to get a team friendly? What do you do?

0:47:56.400 --> 0:47:58.600
<v Speaker 2>I think Schefter said they're picking up his fifth year option.

0:47:58.680 --> 0:48:01.240
<v Speaker 2>I did the math. It will work out to about

0:48:01.239 --> 0:48:05.480
<v Speaker 2>two years, thirty two million dollars. So I'm not into

0:48:05.520 --> 0:48:08.080
<v Speaker 2>giving him one of those two Jordan Love extensions. But

0:48:09.239 --> 0:48:12.360
<v Speaker 2>Daniel Jones got fifteen million dollars this offseason, so essentially,

0:48:12.400 --> 0:48:15.560
<v Speaker 2>you're buying two years of bridge quarterback play while you

0:48:15.640 --> 0:48:17.320
<v Speaker 2>keep figuring it out. They do have some talent on

0:48:17.360 --> 0:48:20.759
<v Speaker 2>their team. Six weeks ago, I would have been like that,

0:48:20.800 --> 0:48:23.279
<v Speaker 2>it's insane. You watch him down the stretch, you go

0:48:23.320 --> 0:48:25.799
<v Speaker 2>listen if you could do way worse. You clearly like him.

0:48:26.280 --> 0:48:28.600
<v Speaker 2>Figure it out as you go. But I don't think

0:48:28.640 --> 0:48:30.480
<v Speaker 2>you can ever give him one of those big contracts.

0:48:30.480 --> 0:48:33.000
<v Speaker 2>He's just not It's hard to play in the league

0:48:33.000 --> 0:48:34.560
<v Speaker 2>at five ten a buck eighty. You know, when you

0:48:34.560 --> 0:48:36.360
<v Speaker 2>don't have a great army, you're not that mobile. He's

0:48:36.400 --> 0:48:39.480
<v Speaker 2>actually really impressive what he's even able to do. I mean,

0:48:39.520 --> 0:48:41.640
<v Speaker 2>he was a huge recruit, goes to Alabama, played well.

0:48:41.840 --> 0:48:43.920
<v Speaker 2>He's a pretty remarkable story when you just look at

0:48:43.960 --> 0:48:45.719
<v Speaker 2>how good he is with his size. I don't think

0:48:45.719 --> 0:48:47.600
<v Speaker 2>we'll ever see that again, do you a guy that's

0:48:47.600 --> 0:48:50.200
<v Speaker 2>small get drafted that high and just be a starter

0:48:50.280 --> 0:48:51.680
<v Speaker 2>in the league for as long as he's gonna be.

0:48:52.120 --> 0:48:56.080
<v Speaker 2>It's it's kind of an outlier situation, but I think financially,

0:48:56.960 --> 0:48:58.640
<v Speaker 2>I have a hard time ever seeing him getting a

0:48:58.680 --> 0:48:59.440
<v Speaker 2>massive contract.

0:49:00.000 --> 0:49:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Feel very much a mid thirties a Baker a Darnold contract.

0:49:02.960 --> 0:49:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Darnold at this point is underpaid, regardless of what you

0:49:07.000 --> 0:49:10.360
<v Speaker 1>think of him. No, I'm with you. I think you

0:49:10.360 --> 0:49:13.279
<v Speaker 1>know again, I think the Bears have a real shot

0:49:13.320 --> 0:49:17.160
<v Speaker 1>against the Rams, I really do. I kind of agree

0:49:17.160 --> 0:49:19.080
<v Speaker 1>with you that I think Philadelphia is a little bit

0:49:19.719 --> 0:49:23.400
<v Speaker 1>or Philadelphia took a chunk out of the Niners. I

0:49:23.600 --> 0:49:26.120
<v Speaker 1>just don't know if the Niners. You fly all the

0:49:26.120 --> 0:49:29.440
<v Speaker 1>way back home, then you fly up to Seattle, and

0:49:29.520 --> 0:49:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Seattle sitting there now. The good news is the Niners,

0:49:33.640 --> 0:49:35.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, fresh off a win, will probably be very

0:49:35.880 --> 0:49:37.640
<v Speaker 1>good in the first couple of drives of the game,

0:49:37.719 --> 0:49:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Seattle could come out and be very rusty. I didn't

0:49:40.480 --> 0:49:43.000
<v Speaker 1>like the fact that Seattle had a bye week. They're

0:49:43.000 --> 0:49:45.600
<v Speaker 1>too young. They want to play. Those bye weeks are

0:49:45.880 --> 0:49:48.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we saw this in college football. Bye weeks

0:49:48.600 --> 0:49:51.960
<v Speaker 1>hurt teams outside of Indiana. Well, that's because it's young athletes.

0:49:52.040 --> 0:49:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Young athletes want to play. If you have an old team,

0:49:54.880 --> 0:49:57.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, like Stan Francisco this week, they'd be great

0:49:57.760 --> 0:50:00.680
<v Speaker 1>getting time off. But Philadelphia was you know, you give

0:50:00.760 --> 0:50:03.640
<v Speaker 1>somebody like that time off. I don't think Denver or

0:50:03.680 --> 0:50:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Seattle will be better necessarily. I think it makes them

0:50:06.160 --> 0:50:08.920
<v Speaker 1>more vulnerable. But I think over the course of a game,

0:50:09.640 --> 0:50:12.840
<v Speaker 1>I think the Niners, I think they'll just you know,

0:50:12.880 --> 0:50:14.600
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna take too many shots. That feels like a

0:50:14.640 --> 0:50:17.799
<v Speaker 1>game that San Francisco could lead like thirteen ten at

0:50:17.880 --> 0:50:21.759
<v Speaker 1>half and then Seattle just relentless athletes pressure Perdy gets

0:50:21.840 --> 0:50:23.399
<v Speaker 1>hit as a beat. All of a sudden, you look

0:50:23.440 --> 0:50:25.640
<v Speaker 1>up and it's like, okay, now it's thirty twenty and

0:50:25.680 --> 0:50:28.319
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco's out of gas with about eight minutes to go.

0:50:29.719 --> 0:50:31.839
<v Speaker 2>Well, typically in the NFL, when a team, I think

0:50:31.920 --> 0:50:33.920
<v Speaker 2>you know from a gambling standpoint. When a team gets

0:50:33.960 --> 0:50:35.640
<v Speaker 2>blown out late in the season by a team and

0:50:35.680 --> 0:50:39.239
<v Speaker 2>plays them again, the score is much closer, right, and

0:50:39.280 --> 0:50:41.480
<v Speaker 2>these guys know each other really well. I do think

0:50:41.560 --> 0:50:44.959
<v Speaker 2>Kittle's a massive blow in their run game situation that's

0:50:45.080 --> 0:50:47.840
<v Speaker 2>really really hard to overcome. But yeah, I mean, the

0:50:47.920 --> 0:50:50.200
<v Speaker 2>Niners at this point have nothing to lose. So anytime

0:50:50.200 --> 0:50:52.000
<v Speaker 2>you play a team, to ask Philadelphia, a team with

0:50:52.120 --> 0:50:54.600
<v Speaker 2>not much to lose at all, all the pressures on you.

0:50:55.560 --> 0:50:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Of the pie chart, one hundred percent of the pressure

0:50:57.560 --> 0:50:59.719
<v Speaker 2>day was on Philadelphia. And as the game got weird, ye,

0:51:00.320 --> 0:51:01.640
<v Speaker 2>all the forty nine ers want to do is just

0:51:01.719 --> 0:51:05.640
<v Speaker 2>keep it weird, keep it close. Same thing with Seattle.

0:51:05.960 --> 0:51:08.920
<v Speaker 2>If you're down thirteen to ten at halftime, that is

0:51:08.960 --> 0:51:12.600
<v Speaker 2>a gigantic win. I mean, you know it's it's.

0:51:12.480 --> 0:51:15.560
<v Speaker 1>And you could see John and you could see Seattle's

0:51:15.600 --> 0:51:18.080
<v Speaker 1>game plan coming in as guys, we have the better roster,

0:51:18.440 --> 0:51:21.759
<v Speaker 1>we're at home. Yeah, it's gonna be very conservative game plan.

0:51:21.840 --> 0:51:24.279
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna win this game. You could see Mike McDonald saying, guys,

0:51:24.320 --> 0:51:26.399
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna win this game in the third quarter. Let's

0:51:26.440 --> 0:51:29.680
<v Speaker 1>not make any mistakes. So San Francisco probably comes in

0:51:29.800 --> 0:51:33.920
<v Speaker 1>pretty aggressive. Seattle comes in super conservative. So if I

0:51:33.960 --> 0:51:36.239
<v Speaker 1>had to bet anything, I would bet the Niners in

0:51:36.280 --> 0:51:39.440
<v Speaker 1>the first half. But I do think there's just a

0:51:39.520 --> 0:51:42.839
<v Speaker 1>wave of Seattle athleticism and youth and health, and their

0:51:42.960 --> 0:51:45.960
<v Speaker 1>roster is completely healthy. I think I think at some

0:51:46.120 --> 0:51:48.960
<v Speaker 1>point rosters when you have a good head coach Mike

0:51:49.040 --> 0:51:53.080
<v Speaker 1>McDonald's several notches above Nick Cerianni, they have good coordinators

0:51:53.080 --> 0:51:55.520
<v Speaker 1>and good culture, I think Seattle wears them out.

0:51:57.440 --> 0:51:59.799
<v Speaker 2>Not shocking really thinking about it. The NFC West, who

0:52:00.880 --> 0:52:02.879
<v Speaker 2>the one seed, the five seed, and the six seed,

0:52:02.920 --> 0:52:05.040
<v Speaker 2>are three of the four teams left, and there's a

0:52:05.080 --> 0:52:08.760
<v Speaker 2>pretty good chance, you know, if somehow the Bears football

0:52:08.800 --> 0:52:11.680
<v Speaker 2>angel doesn't show up when they play the Rams, that

0:52:11.760 --> 0:52:14.239
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be an NFC West NFC championship game,

0:52:14.560 --> 0:52:17.080
<v Speaker 2>which we've seen so many times over the last ten

0:52:17.120 --> 0:52:19.799
<v Speaker 2>to fifteen years, right going back to Harbaugh and Pete

0:52:19.840 --> 0:52:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Carroll through McVeigh and Shanahan. So I just think that

0:52:25.000 --> 0:52:28.120
<v Speaker 2>the travel for these teams, right, I mean, look at

0:52:28.160 --> 0:52:30.120
<v Speaker 2>the forty nine ers going to Seattle's what a couple

0:52:30.200 --> 0:52:32.759
<v Speaker 2>hour flight. I mean the Rams, that's all the one

0:52:32.800 --> 0:52:34.840
<v Speaker 2>thing I will give the Rams a little bit of

0:52:35.040 --> 0:52:37.600
<v Speaker 2>that is a you play this eight nine team, I

0:52:37.640 --> 0:52:40.720
<v Speaker 2>don't know. I've never made the flight from Lax to Charlotte,

0:52:40.719 --> 0:52:44.560
<v Speaker 2>but it's minimum five hours. Like it it's a long trek, right,

0:52:44.600 --> 0:52:46.920
<v Speaker 2>and George Kittle talked about this last week when they lost.

0:52:47.239 --> 0:52:49.480
<v Speaker 2>When you play these playoff games against these the forty

0:52:49.560 --> 0:52:50.839
<v Speaker 2>nine ers had a four and a half five hour

0:52:50.840 --> 0:52:53.840
<v Speaker 2>flight to go to Philadelphi. These are long trips, you know.

0:52:53.840 --> 0:52:56.280
<v Speaker 2>It's why it's such a big advantage for Seattle and Denver.

0:52:56.360 --> 0:52:58.799
<v Speaker 2>You just kind of sit there and wait so and

0:52:58.840 --> 0:53:00.600
<v Speaker 2>you let the other team get the living you know

0:53:00.640 --> 0:53:02.920
<v Speaker 2>what they beat out of them, Like even the Rams,

0:53:03.080 --> 0:53:04.320
<v Speaker 2>it's like, well they played, they were ten and a

0:53:04.320 --> 0:53:06.360
<v Speaker 2>half point favorite. Yeah, they had to really strain to

0:53:06.400 --> 0:53:09.920
<v Speaker 2>win that game. So it's just now sometimes use that

0:53:09.960 --> 0:53:13.600
<v Speaker 2>as momentum. We've seen the ELI teams make crazy runs

0:53:13.680 --> 0:53:16.800
<v Speaker 2>right as wild cards, and sometimes you run out of gas.

0:53:17.320 --> 0:53:20.040
<v Speaker 2>So it's no different with the Bears. Like that's they've

0:53:20.080 --> 0:53:24.600
<v Speaker 2>had a pretty crazy emotional month plus wins an law,

0:53:24.600 --> 0:53:26.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean that Niner loss. Then you saw them come

0:53:26.760 --> 0:53:28.719
<v Speaker 2>out really flat against the Lions, but then they came

0:53:28.760 --> 0:53:31.840
<v Speaker 2>storming back, and then last night, I just don't know

0:53:31.880 --> 0:53:34.439
<v Speaker 2>how much emotionally they can ride the world. I've never

0:53:35.760 --> 0:53:39.080
<v Speaker 2>because the Commanders didn't have as much offensive talent as

0:53:39.120 --> 0:53:44.719
<v Speaker 2>the Bears do. I feel like talents exceptional, Yeah, just

0:53:44.760 --> 0:53:48.120
<v Speaker 2>so it's they're much more serious. But for them to

0:53:48.160 --> 0:53:51.080
<v Speaker 2>make this one with their defenses, because it did feel

0:53:51.080 --> 0:53:52.719
<v Speaker 2>when they were down twenty one to three, you're like,

0:53:52.920 --> 0:53:54.920
<v Speaker 2>they've had a remarkable season, they have the star coach,

0:53:55.400 --> 0:53:56.600
<v Speaker 2>but you're gonna get destroyed.

0:53:57.000 --> 0:54:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Even Ben Johnson, it was Ben Johnson's coach. He was like,

0:54:01.160 --> 0:54:02.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to give the ball back to Green Bay.

0:54:02.600 --> 0:54:04.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to go for it our thirty two yard line.

0:54:04.800 --> 0:54:08.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's just basically he was telling you, I'm

0:54:08.520 --> 0:54:12.120
<v Speaker 1>not giving their defense an opportunity to have a bigger

0:54:12.320 --> 0:54:15.640
<v Speaker 1>like he didn't trust his defense. Dennis Allen does deserve credit.

0:54:15.680 --> 0:54:18.359
<v Speaker 1>I thought the second half it was much more, much

0:54:18.400 --> 0:54:21.319
<v Speaker 1>more aggressive game plan. All Right, a couple of college thoughts.

0:54:21.400 --> 0:54:25.800
<v Speaker 1>So a week from now, on Monday. A week from Monday,

0:54:26.000 --> 0:54:29.839
<v Speaker 1>Indiana is going to be potentially the third straight Big

0:54:29.920 --> 0:54:32.440
<v Speaker 1>Ten team to win the national championship. Third straight year

0:54:32.440 --> 0:54:36.920
<v Speaker 1>an SEC team doesn't even make it and it's really interesting.

0:54:36.960 --> 0:54:38.719
<v Speaker 1>I went and looked today. Six of the seven top

0:54:38.840 --> 0:54:45.200
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks next season Dante more Mayava Underwood saying Sellers sores

0:54:45.200 --> 0:54:47.239
<v Speaker 1>be the big twelve kid that goes from Cincinnati to

0:54:47.320 --> 0:54:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Texas Tech. Six of the top seven outside of Arch

0:54:49.520 --> 0:54:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Manning are non SEC quarterbacks. Indiana, Ohio State, Oregon, Mission

0:54:54.840 --> 0:54:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Michigan with Winningham's going to be a very good football

0:54:57.080 --> 0:55:00.560
<v Speaker 1>team immediately. They have a ton of talent. Say what

0:55:00.600 --> 0:55:04.640
<v Speaker 1>you want. They stocked the cupboard. So Indiana, Ohio State, Oregon,

0:55:04.680 --> 0:55:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Michigan should be top ten teams next year. USC Washington

0:55:10.200 --> 0:55:13.280
<v Speaker 1>are as talented as they have been in the last

0:55:13.280 --> 0:55:16.960
<v Speaker 1>five or six years. That Washington had a great recruiting class.

0:55:17.080 --> 0:55:18.880
<v Speaker 1>They've been good in the portal. Se just had the

0:55:18.960 --> 0:55:22.239
<v Speaker 1>number one recruiting class. So I think USC, Washington Penn

0:55:22.280 --> 0:55:25.880
<v Speaker 1>State are somewhere between tenth and fifteenth or sixteenth is

0:55:27.360 --> 0:55:32.759
<v Speaker 1>I was told this weekend by an agent that he said,

0:55:32.800 --> 0:55:37.600
<v Speaker 1>listen SEC coaches privately, they know it's over, like they

0:55:37.680 --> 0:55:41.359
<v Speaker 1>just know. You see, Alabama lost two stars. Now they

0:55:41.360 --> 0:55:43.720
<v Speaker 1>went to the SEC. They went to Texas Oil money.

0:55:44.320 --> 0:55:46.959
<v Speaker 1>But it was funny when I watched Ole Miss because

0:55:47.000 --> 0:55:49.399
<v Speaker 1>I watched Georgia this year not only lose to Ole

0:55:49.440 --> 0:55:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Miss lose Tobama once, but they could have lost to

0:55:51.400 --> 0:55:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee Florida in Auburn, like they just weren't the same team.

0:55:55.360 --> 0:55:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Is that it's in It's interesting to watch Indiana now,

0:55:59.400 --> 0:56:00.719
<v Speaker 1>and I think we have to be honest about it

0:56:00.719 --> 0:56:02.879
<v Speaker 1>because Mark Cuban just wrote a twelve or fifteen million

0:56:02.960 --> 0:56:06.880
<v Speaker 1>lar check. Indiana now is a national power. Ohio State's

0:56:06.880 --> 0:56:11.920
<v Speaker 1>now in national power. Oregon is not playing Indiana. If

0:56:11.920 --> 0:56:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Oregon was playing anybody else, not in Nam. Indiana, they're

0:56:14.880 --> 0:56:18.480
<v Speaker 1>a national power. Michigan with Whittingham will be a really,

0:56:18.600 --> 0:56:22.640
<v Speaker 1>really really good team, like John I think when I

0:56:22.680 --> 0:56:25.160
<v Speaker 1>look at it now and this is why the world changes.

0:56:25.160 --> 0:56:27.360
<v Speaker 1>I was watching the story on Boeing today and everybody's

0:56:27.400 --> 0:56:30.200
<v Speaker 1>like Boeing now in the last six months. Boeing was

0:56:30.239 --> 0:56:32.920
<v Speaker 1>a wreck. Nine months ago, it was it was just

0:56:32.960 --> 0:56:36.360
<v Speaker 1>a mess. It was completely dysfunctional. Boeing just turned it around.

0:56:36.600 --> 0:56:38.640
<v Speaker 1>You can do this in business and you can now

0:56:38.680 --> 0:56:41.239
<v Speaker 1>do it in the transfer portal. I think everybody has

0:56:41.239 --> 0:56:44.400
<v Speaker 1>to just realize right now, Indiana, between their coach and

0:56:44.440 --> 0:56:48.960
<v Speaker 1>their nil, it's a better football program than anybody in

0:56:49.040 --> 0:56:53.440
<v Speaker 1>the SEC. They have a better coach, and they have

0:56:54.520 --> 0:56:59.560
<v Speaker 1>easier access to massive eight figure capital annually. That is

0:56:59.719 --> 0:57:02.239
<v Speaker 1>hard to wrap your brain around. But I'm sitting there

0:57:02.239 --> 0:57:04.920
<v Speaker 1>watching Indiana and I'm like, just if you put Georgia's

0:57:05.000 --> 0:57:08.320
<v Speaker 1>uniform in Indiana, you'd be like this, this is unbelievable.

0:57:09.440 --> 0:57:12.040
<v Speaker 1>This is what they are now. Indiana is with signetti

0:57:12.080 --> 0:57:14.840
<v Speaker 1>and there and there and I last year they got in,

0:57:14.920 --> 0:57:17.320
<v Speaker 1>they didn't have big money, they had James Madison players

0:57:17.360 --> 0:57:19.480
<v Speaker 1>and they made the playoff. So I guess my takeaway

0:57:19.520 --> 0:57:23.920
<v Speaker 1>on all of this is Indiana is now just give

0:57:23.960 --> 0:57:26.520
<v Speaker 1>the uniforms to Ohio State. This is what they're gonna

0:57:26.520 --> 0:57:27.400
<v Speaker 1>look like every year. Right.

0:57:29.160 --> 0:57:32.560
<v Speaker 2>Someone forwarded me a tweet from Connor Stallion's Harboz's old

0:57:32.640 --> 0:57:36.000
<v Speaker 2>guy basically saying that you know, the local car dealership

0:57:36.040 --> 0:57:38.040
<v Speaker 2>can no longer just put twenty thousand dollars in a

0:57:38.080 --> 0:57:41.320
<v Speaker 2>bag and hand into a kid, right, because the minimum

0:57:41.360 --> 0:57:42.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean you're talking you see some of the prices

0:57:42.880 --> 0:57:45.760
<v Speaker 2>on these players. I didn't know this until the other night.

0:57:46.240 --> 0:57:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Indiana has more alumni or you know, it's disputed, but

0:57:49.040 --> 0:57:51.360
<v Speaker 2>definitely top two or three than any school in the

0:57:51.360 --> 0:57:54.400
<v Speaker 2>country and all the other schools beside Arizona State are

0:57:54.440 --> 0:57:56.640
<v Speaker 2>all big ten. So if you just do the math,

0:57:57.160 --> 0:58:00.640
<v Speaker 2>if I have the most kids graduating for decades, I'm

0:58:00.680 --> 0:58:02.480
<v Speaker 2>just going to have a higher percentage of people that

0:58:02.560 --> 0:58:05.520
<v Speaker 2>are gonna do well and at these schools, even if

0:58:05.560 --> 0:58:08.000
<v Speaker 2>you don't like sports that much. I had friends from

0:58:08.080 --> 0:58:10.400
<v Speaker 2>high school that went to Oregon that went to Arizona,

0:58:10.680 --> 0:58:13.400
<v Speaker 2>and I wouldn't call them like sports diehards. They're very

0:58:13.440 --> 0:58:16.520
<v Speaker 2>passionate about their school. And when Arizona or Oregon, when

0:58:16.560 --> 0:58:19.479
<v Speaker 2>these schools make runs in basketball or football, they are

0:58:19.520 --> 0:58:23.320
<v Speaker 2>bound by that school. And like, that's a huge advantage

0:58:23.360 --> 0:58:26.439
<v Speaker 2>for Ohio State. For Michigan the size of their alumni base,

0:58:27.000 --> 0:58:29.320
<v Speaker 2>and let's face it, like how many billionaires are SEC

0:58:29.440 --> 0:58:35.919
<v Speaker 2>graduates now, that could change. You know, their application base

0:58:36.000 --> 0:58:40.760
<v Speaker 2>has dramatically grown over the last but those guys are

0:58:40.760 --> 0:58:42.760
<v Speaker 2>thirty twenty eight. It's gonna take some time.

0:58:43.040 --> 0:58:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Shoes Number one booster is a personal injury attorney. Well,

0:58:46.480 --> 0:58:49.760
<v Speaker 1>you can't compete with Larry Ellison at Michigan and Mark Cuban,

0:58:50.120 --> 0:58:54.440
<v Speaker 1>the biggest Georgia booster rest in piece. He was a

0:58:54.480 --> 0:58:58.120
<v Speaker 1>beloved guy. He was a bourbon distributor. Again, awesome career.

0:58:58.440 --> 0:59:01.160
<v Speaker 1>But you're talking about now big ten schools. This is

0:59:01.200 --> 0:59:05.280
<v Speaker 1>something I talked about three years ago. Car dealer. A

0:59:05.280 --> 0:59:07.680
<v Speaker 1>big car dealer is a number one or number two

0:59:08.240 --> 0:59:11.680
<v Speaker 1>guy in the SEC that is not that guy's number eight,

0:59:12.320 --> 0:59:15.680
<v Speaker 1>number ten in these Michigan and Notre Dame have endowments

0:59:15.680 --> 0:59:18.040
<v Speaker 1>that are top ten in the country. There's just billionaires

0:59:18.040 --> 0:59:20.680
<v Speaker 1>everywhere in USC right now. Forget the fact they get

0:59:20.680 --> 0:59:23.200
<v Speaker 1>the ninety million dollar check. They're building a three hundred

0:59:23.240 --> 0:59:26.040
<v Speaker 1>million dollar facility. They're buying the best class in the country.

0:59:26.520 --> 0:59:28.040
<v Speaker 1>They have more money than they know.

0:59:28.000 --> 0:59:32.680
<v Speaker 2>What to do with. Well, why do you think Cal

0:59:33.280 --> 0:59:36.240
<v Speaker 2>at Stanford hired Andrew Luck and Ron Rivera? I think

0:59:36.240 --> 0:59:39.120
<v Speaker 2>Cal has more billionaires than any other school in America

0:59:39.600 --> 0:59:41.840
<v Speaker 2>because if they hired John Middlecoff to be the GM

0:59:41.840 --> 0:59:43.960
<v Speaker 2>of Cal football, that guy I'm not going to pick

0:59:44.000 --> 0:59:46.120
<v Speaker 2>up my phone call if Ron Rivera calls, not only

0:59:46.280 --> 0:59:48.120
<v Speaker 2>we pick it up, Hey, come down to Google and

0:59:48.160 --> 0:59:50.840
<v Speaker 2>have lunch with me. Right, Andrew Luck's getting all these

0:59:50.840 --> 0:59:53.640
<v Speaker 2>guys to pick up So these schools. I'm just talking

0:59:53.680 --> 0:59:56.440
<v Speaker 2>Cal in Stanford. So think of the advantage they have

0:59:56.640 --> 1:00:00.400
<v Speaker 2>over every SEC. Program. So if they can get money in,

1:00:00.720 --> 1:00:04.120
<v Speaker 2>they immediately can compete with those schools that like. That's

1:00:04.160 --> 1:00:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Texas's big advantage. I think I saw Stuart Mandel or

1:00:07.120 --> 1:00:10.160
<v Speaker 2>someone said that by all signs point to them having

1:00:10.200 --> 1:00:12.959
<v Speaker 2>a forty plus million dollar roster. They have unlimited money.

1:00:12.960 --> 1:00:15.520
<v Speaker 2>Same thing with Texas Tech. The Texas Tech quarterback that

1:00:15.560 --> 1:00:18.360
<v Speaker 2>they just signed, they had to pay Cincinnati a million

1:00:18.400 --> 1:00:21.480
<v Speaker 2>dollar buyout to get his services. He had a buyout

1:00:21.520 --> 1:00:23.760
<v Speaker 2>plus in this country, so they gave him five million

1:00:23.760 --> 1:00:26.080
<v Speaker 2>dollars and they gave Cincinnati or the nil or however

1:00:26.120 --> 1:00:28.440
<v Speaker 2>it worked out a million dollars. Well, they can do

1:00:28.440 --> 1:00:31.080
<v Speaker 2>it because they got the billionaire guy who is all in.

1:00:31.320 --> 1:00:33.440
<v Speaker 2>And honestly, I've seen some of their I saw this

1:00:33.560 --> 1:00:36.120
<v Speaker 2>interview on Instagram with this guy going around at a

1:00:36.200 --> 1:00:39.520
<v Speaker 2>Texas Tech away game, and a lot of their boosters

1:00:39.760 --> 1:00:43.080
<v Speaker 2>are oil guys, are very successful individuals.

1:00:43.200 --> 1:00:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Texas Tech, Texas, Texas A, and M. It's Texas. But

1:00:47.120 --> 1:00:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Texas is a massive economy, so at big time if

1:00:50.920 --> 1:00:55.280
<v Speaker 1>you I mean, Texas Tech has far greater money than

1:00:55.320 --> 1:00:58.320
<v Speaker 1>anybody in the SEC not called Texas and Texas A

1:00:58.320 --> 1:01:01.120
<v Speaker 1>and M Alabama just lost just I think it was

1:01:01.160 --> 1:01:03.360
<v Speaker 1>a star running back. They lost. Over the course of

1:01:03.360 --> 1:01:05.240
<v Speaker 1>the weekend. They thought they had him. He committed, Texas

1:01:05.240 --> 1:01:08.240
<v Speaker 1>came in Boom will take him. So, I mean, what

1:01:08.240 --> 1:01:11.480
<v Speaker 1>would the SEC be now? Without Texas and Texas A and

1:01:11.600 --> 1:01:12.800
<v Speaker 1>m they'd be.

1:01:12.760 --> 1:01:13.360
<v Speaker 2>The Big twelve.

1:01:13.440 --> 1:01:14.240
<v Speaker 1>They can't compete.

1:01:15.680 --> 1:01:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, when Greg Byrne put out the tweet kind of

1:01:18.160 --> 1:01:20.479
<v Speaker 2>begging for money a year ago, you knew, like, WHOA,

1:01:20.680 --> 1:01:24.240
<v Speaker 2>that's crazy, pretty crazy. I mean, that's can you imagine

1:01:24.280 --> 1:01:25.840
<v Speaker 2>that all of these other programs doing it. But I

1:01:25.880 --> 1:01:28.480
<v Speaker 2>don't even blame it. He probably feels desperate. What else

1:01:28.520 --> 1:01:30.600
<v Speaker 2>is he gonna do? Put a Venmo account? Link it

1:01:30.640 --> 1:01:30.880
<v Speaker 2>to hell.

1:01:31.240 --> 1:01:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Two other schools that are loaded, Notre Dame and Miami

1:01:35.280 --> 1:01:39.160
<v Speaker 1>from the ACC. So they they are. So it's not

1:01:39.680 --> 1:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>just you know, three or four Big ten teams. It's

1:01:42.440 --> 1:01:48.400
<v Speaker 1>Texas Tech, it's Miami, it's Notre Dame. So, I mean,

1:01:48.920 --> 1:01:51.560
<v Speaker 1>there's so many great high school programs and coaches and

1:01:51.600 --> 1:01:54.720
<v Speaker 1>players in the big in the SEC footprint. They're always

1:01:54.720 --> 1:01:57.000
<v Speaker 1>going to have their players. But I was told this

1:01:57.080 --> 1:02:02.000
<v Speaker 1>weekend by somebody, this is this is this isbody that

1:02:02.640 --> 1:02:05.160
<v Speaker 1>is in He's like an agent for I mean, he

1:02:05.200 --> 1:02:07.880
<v Speaker 1>had a big weekend this weekend with a couple of players.

1:02:07.880 --> 1:02:09.440
<v Speaker 1>I can't tell you who they are, but there's a

1:02:09.480 --> 1:02:12.360
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver that plays in the ACC that's going to

1:02:12.440 --> 1:02:14.480
<v Speaker 1>get paid by a Big ten team and it's a

1:02:14.640 --> 1:02:16.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of money. And I can't disclose the player or

1:02:16.880 --> 1:02:19.120
<v Speaker 1>the money, but he's in this world. And it's like,

1:02:20.320 --> 1:02:22.240
<v Speaker 1>there's so much money in the Big ten right now.

1:02:22.280 --> 1:02:26.919
<v Speaker 1>There is so much money, all right, John Middlecoff, former

1:02:27.000 --> 1:02:29.920
<v Speaker 1>NFL scout three and Out go crush that. Let's go

1:02:29.960 --> 1:02:31.160
<v Speaker 1>watch the Patriots. Chargers.

1:02:31.920 --> 1:02:34.640
<v Speaker 2>We got we got Netflix starting tomorrow, Colin so with

1:02:34.760 --> 1:02:36.960
<v Speaker 2>the the three and Out podcast will be on Netflix

1:02:36.960 --> 1:02:38.600
<v Speaker 2>starting tomorrow. So we're rocking and rolling. A lot of

1:02:38.600 --> 1:02:41.440
<v Speaker 2>people have asked, I will This doesn't change at all

1:02:41.520 --> 1:02:43.400
<v Speaker 2>with me and you and doesn't change anything from the audio.

1:02:43.520 --> 1:02:47.000
<v Speaker 2>But Netflix, we're rocking and rolling tomorrow. So uh, come

1:02:47.040 --> 1:02:48.320
<v Speaker 2>a long way here, let's keep it wrong.

1:02:48.320 --> 1:02:50.800
<v Speaker 1>I'll be watching all right, the hard rock pick John.

1:02:52.640 --> 1:02:55.120
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm gonna take the Steelers at home Mike

1:02:55.160 --> 1:02:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Tomlin on Monday Night minus three. What I worry about

1:02:58.920 --> 1:03:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Houston as they settled for a lot of field goals

1:03:01.720 --> 1:03:03.960
<v Speaker 1>in the red zone, and you know, I love C. J. Stroud,

1:03:04.840 --> 1:03:10.959
<v Speaker 1>but between Gainwell Friarmouth, Jalen Warrens had a really interesting year.

1:03:11.400 --> 1:03:14.360
<v Speaker 1>DK metcalf is back. It's Aaron Rodgers at home. He's

1:03:14.360 --> 1:03:17.040
<v Speaker 1>not making a lot of mistakes. Tomlin is a dog.

1:03:19.760 --> 1:03:24.320
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm gonna take the Steelers plus three. I didn't.

1:03:24.400 --> 1:03:27.040
<v Speaker 1>I've been saying all year how dangerous Houston is, but

1:03:28.000 --> 1:03:31.040
<v Speaker 1>I can't. I can't unsee that second half of the

1:03:31.080 --> 1:03:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Steelers over the Ravens. I think I like Pittsburgh.

1:03:35.480 --> 1:03:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this was a Disney movie. I would take Aaron Rodgers,

1:03:38.000 --> 1:03:40.160
<v Speaker 2>but it's not. I like the Houston Texas. I like

1:03:40.280 --> 1:03:43.880
<v Speaker 2>him so Rogers had a hell of a career. I

1:03:43.880 --> 1:03:46.080
<v Speaker 2>think it comes to a screeching hault on Monday Night.

1:03:46.400 --> 1:03:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, that Texans pass.

1:03:48.000 --> 1:03:51.040
<v Speaker 2>Rush gonna be a problem.

1:03:51.880 --> 1:03:54.200
<v Speaker 1>Great stuff.

1:03:54.960 --> 1:03:55.560
<v Speaker 2>The volume
