1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? How are we doing?

2
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: John Middlecoff three and out podcast. Hopefully everyone is doing well,

3
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: better than Aaron Rodgers, who just played one of the

4
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: worst games he's ever had in his career. That was ugly.

5
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh prevails, takes the Chargers to seven and three

6
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 1: despite a million injuries. Looks like their playoff bound again.

7
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: And the Steelers are in major, major trouble. Obviously, the

8
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: Ravens are coming. Their schedule gets easy, and the Steelers

9
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: got problems. They've lost three or four and just they

10
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 1: look horrendous tonight. I mean they looked really really offensively.

11
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: That was that. Today was a tough day. A lot

12
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: of bad football depending on what team you were watching.

13
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: There was a lot of good football too as play great.

14
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: Seattle looks incredible, Ravens are playing well. Patriots. So I

15
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: guess to each his own depends, but we will talk

16
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: some football. A lot going on different things I want

Speaker 1: dialed in, and for me, that is Zone nicotine pouches.

29
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: I went through about ten today watching some ball, and

30
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: you will not catch me without any I actually I

31
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: went through a ten basically the last two days of

Speaker 1: nico kick dot com for twenty percent at checkout. I

38
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: was thinking about this tonight, you know, and listen, I'm

39
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 1: guilty of this too. I think we over complicate a

40
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: lot of things in life, right from when we're young

41
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: to when we age I mean, I got a baby

42
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: on the way, and I would imagine my baby has

43
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: it doesn't even I mean, it exists in or belly,

44
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: but it doesn't exist. It's not out of the womb

45
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: yet has more clothes currently in his closet than I

46
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: probably had through the first five years of my life.

47
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: And anyone that's had a child, you realize you go

48
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,399
Speaker 1: through all these different things. It's like, I don't think

49
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: my parents were doing this in the eighties, but hey,

50
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 1: it's it is what it is. Feels a little over

51
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: complicated to me, but scards Ward dealt and I think

52
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: we break down so many different elements of football college pro.

53
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, do you have a

54
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: good coach, do you have a good quarterback? And really,

55
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: in tandem, are my two better than your two? And

56
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: when you look at Jim Harbaugh and Justin Herbert, I

57
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: think we've tried to have all these And I'm guilty

58
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: of this too. I'm not trying to point any fingers here.

59
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: I am as guilty as anyone. I bet on the

60
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers tonight and I'm watching this game and I

61
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: go look around the league. The combination of head coach

62
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: and quarterback. How many around the league would you take

63
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: over those two guys? You go, well, Andy Reid, Mahomes, Okay,

64
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: who else? Sirianni and Hurts? Well? Do I get Howie

65
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: Roseman or not? Because if I don't get Howie Roseman,

66
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: hell no, Jordan Love and laflor Well, if Laflorida doesn't

67
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: win Monday Night Football, he might get fired. John Harbaugh

68
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: and Lamar Okay, that's the first one. You can make

69
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: an argument. Sean McDermott, Josh Allen. I'd take Josh Allen

70
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: over Herbert, but I would not take Sean McDermott over

71
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh. You start going around the best teams like listen,

72
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell might be the third Harball brother. I'm taking

73
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: Herbert over Golf. They are a top three or four

74
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: combination in the NFL. I have a lot of respect

75
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: for Mike Tomlin. I think he's pretty damn good. His

76
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: resume speaks for itself. He has not won a playoff

77
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: game in about a decade. Aaron Rodgers, who's got a

78
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: new lease on life. You see that wedding ring on

79
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: his left hand. I do believe he's the most famous

80
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: individual in this Internet era. That we've never seen a

81
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: picture of his significant other, fascinated to see what she

82
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: looks like. But at forty one years old, the combination

83
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: of those two guys aren't sniffing the top ten. Now.

84
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: Aaron's play plaid well this year. Tonight he did not.

85
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: But when you look at those two guys who are

86
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: now five and four and are leaking serious oil. They've

87
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: lost three of their last four games, two of their

88
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,799
Speaker 1: last three. Two playoff opponents, I mean tonight the Chargers,

89
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: who are headed back to the playoffs again, surely kicked

90
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: the living shit out of them. One thing Tomlin's always

91
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: had is this kind of chip on his shoulder, this

92
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: underdog mentality even though he's coaching for this historic brand,

93
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,559
Speaker 1: and kind of this edginess. Well that's completely gone because

94
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: you remove the Colts game, this team that I've seen, like,

95
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: what's going on? Meanwhile, I look across the field and

96
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: I see Jim Harbaugh. It's like his offensive lines and

97
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: shambles doesn't matter. He missed Khalil Mack for half the season,

98
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: didn't matter. He's got injuries left and right. Who cares?

99
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: So when that outcome played itself out, it's like, yeah,

100
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: of course, the team with the better coach and the

101
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: better quarterback one. And I look back on why did

102
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: I outthink the room on this one, just because the

103
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,799
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers might have more fans than sofi who gives

104
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: a shit? Clearly Jim doesn't. And I just think that

105
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: that was a clinic tonight from one of the best

106
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: head coaches in the NFL, from you know, even justin Herbert.

107
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: I think I just looked. He got sacked five times

108
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: early in the game, he gets tackled from behind, he's

109
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: limping around. There is something about the power of Jim

110
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: and when he coaches you as a quarterback, you just

111
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: play at a different level, You play with a different

112
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: belief and it was on full display. And the one

113
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: thing with Jim Harbaugh, despite being a former NFL quarterback,

114
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: not a linebacker, not a safety, not a defensive tackle.

115
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: He's a quarterback. His defense is now since I've been

116
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: really paying attention to win, he coached at Stanford and

117
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: you could even go back, I'm sure to San Diego.

118
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: But with the forty nine ers obviously at Michigan and

119
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: now with the Chargers are awesome. And Mike Tomlin, known

120
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: as this defensive guy, you're watching to night, You're like, well,

121
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: you removed the Indianapolis game doesn't look that great. So

122
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: I think that tonight you saw one team that's headed

123
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: to the playoffs and another team that, let's face it,

124
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: I think the Pittsburgh Steelers are in major trouble. And

125
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: I was wrong because probably a month ago I said,

126
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: I just did the math. They were one and five,

127
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: that being the Ravens. The Steelers, they were four and one.

128
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: They had some easy opponents coming up, they had some

129
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: difficult opponents, but they were at home. I was like,

130
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: they're going to cruise to like eleven wins. Their floor

131
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: was like ten. Now I look, I go, I don't know.

132
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: I think I'm completely out on them. If you told

133
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: me right now, eight to nine wins probably feels about

134
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: the max. Guess what the Ravens are gonna win more

135
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: than that. Their next three games are against the Browns,

136
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: the Jets, and the Bengals. So worst case scenario, before

137
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: they play their Steelers as the fourth game on that slate,

138
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: they would be six and six. If I was a

139
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: betting man, I would currently take them to win all

140
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: three of those games. I would imagine I haven't looked

141
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: at the line next week against the Browns, but the Browns, Jets,

142
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: and the Bengals on average, the gambling lines there will

143
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: be around a touchdown, potentially more as they win some

144
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 1: of these games. Watching today, their secondary fully healthy, Lamar Jackson,

145
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: fully healthy, confidence with that squad full go. It's the

146
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: flip side. When you look at the Steelers, who offensively

147
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: have a major issue. They have one wide receiver, let

148
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: me repeat, one wide receiver who they are paying one

149
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars over three or four years,

150
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: gifted freak, but I wouldn't exactly call him Jerry Reis

151
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: or Terrell Owens, and he clearly gets taken out of games.

152
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: And then they have all these other guys, Roman Wilson,

153
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: Austin seventeen tight ends. Even when Aaron plays well, unlike tonight,

154
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 1: they're not gonna put up a lot of points. It's

155
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: going to be a struggle if they're playing a decent

156
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: defense and the running game like kind of non existent.

157
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: Jalen Warren good little player, but if he has to

158
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: lead your team in carries, your running game is going

159
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 1: to be limited. So when I look at this operation

160
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: and I look at the Baltimore Ravens. I'll be the

161
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: first to say I did not see this coming a

162
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: month ago. I was completely wrong. I think when the

163
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: dust settles, the Baltimore Ravens are in first place by

164
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: the end of the month, and then as December plays out,

165
00:09:55,640 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: like think about tonight, Aaron Rodgers. There were a couple times,

166
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: and I never blame like, when you're young trying to

167
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: prove yourself. Part of playing the quarterback position, whether it

168
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 1: be in college and definitely in the NFL, there are

169
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: gonna be times. It's why they make all this money.

170
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: That's why they are the stars of the league. You're

171
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: gonna have to stay in that pocket for like an

172
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: extra split second too long and deliver a pass for

173
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: a big first down or for a big touchdown or

174
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: for a big completion, and you're gonna get throttled. And

175
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: all the great quarterbacks have done that. But we saw

176
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: Brady a couple years back, that last year in Tampa.

177
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: He's like, f this. I got a bunch of kids,

178
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: I got a bunch of money. I am too old

179
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: to get hit by all these quick, fast guys that

180
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: are just rocking my ribs, lower body and driving me

181
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: into the grass. I'm over this, and he wanted no

182
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: part of getting hit, absolutely none, And tonight it was

183
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: a He's had bits of it over the years. Tonight

184
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: it was on full display. I'm married, I'm really rich.

185
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: I probably don't have a super Bowl team. I'm not

186
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: standing in there that extra split second. There was a

187
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: play in the second half on a third down where

188
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: he was about I don't eve think get hit that hard,

189
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: but he was definitely gonna take a collision and he

190
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: felt it right at the last second and kind of wins. Again.

191
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to act like he should do it.

192
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: I don't blame him at all. He's forty one years old,

193
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: but that limits your ability, and his talent isn't quite

194
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: what it was in his heyday. So when he's going

195
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: to turn down certain passes against good defenses, it is

196
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: going to look like tonight in what we witnessed. I

197
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: would imagine there are some Packer historians, but that has

198
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: to be one of the worst games he's ever played

199
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: since becoming a good player in two thousand and nine.

200
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: There's a chance that's the worst primetime game he's ever played.

201
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: I mean, at one point in time in the fourth quarter,

202
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 1: he had barely thrown for a hundred yards. Again, the

203
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: Chargers defense is good and statistically they're good. It's not

204
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: like Khalil Mack is also flanked by Sean Marion. It's

205
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: not like Derwin James is also flanked by Eric Weddle. Again,

206
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: good defense, great coaching, physical mentality rights. It's the way

207
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: in which they play. It's Harbaugh. When you play a

208
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh team, when they get the opportunity, they are

209
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: going to rock your world. And the Steelers like sometimes

210
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: they do it and sometimes they don't, you know, like

211
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: Cam and TJ and the front kind of does. But

212
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: I would say they're back seven can be very very

213
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: hit or miss and if Rogers is gonna play like that,

214
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: like we've been saying, you know, even in some of

215
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: their losses, Aaron's been good and they still lost. Well

216
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: when he's bad, you get boat raced and Chargers seven

217
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: three team, they're probably headed toward eleven ish wins and

218
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: they're just dramatically better than the Steelers. I feel like

219
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: if they play Pittsburgh ten times, Chargers win like seven.

220
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: And I don't think the Chargers are as good as

221
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: the Ravens based on health so what's gonna happen here? Now?

222
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: You could say Pittsburgh does feel comfortable playing Baltimore, But

223
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: to me, even if they split those two games, it's

224
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 1: the other games. The Steelers have proven they play a

225
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: good team, the Packers, the Chargers, Seattle, they're getting worked,

226
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: but they could also lose to like the Bengals, So

227
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 1: you can't trust them in any game. And those are

228
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: the worst type teams again to bet on never again,

229
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: no more touching the Pittsburgh Steelers moving forward. I'm out,

230
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 1: but just to respect of because I had some people

231
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: like Middlecuff. Remember when you were saying Tomlin should get fired.

232
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: I've always said I think I think the New York

233
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: Giants would sell their left nut to have Mike Tomlin

234
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: be their head coach in twenty twenty six. They would

235
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: die for Tomlin roam in that sideline coaching Jackson, Darton,

236
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: Scataboo and Molik neighbors. But this Pittsburgh thing is over

237
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: that they're not gonna be good enough, and it's not

238
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: all his fault, and I don't know all the inner

239
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: workings of the Steelers, and some Steelers push back when

240
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: I say, you know, Tom's not as involved in personnel,

241
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: and they'll say, listen to us fans, we're closer to this.

242
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: He is more involved than you think. Regardless the way

243
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: this roster is built, it's just not that good. And

244
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: it's got in Collinsworth and Tarrico. We're talking about it.

245
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: It's got major flaws because I'd be like, well, look

246
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: at the Chargers. Their offensive line is rolling out like me.

247
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: And defensively, you know, you got Khalil Mack, you got

248
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: some young pieces that they've drafted. But it's the mentality.

249
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: It's how well they're coached. And that's the other knock

250
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: on the Steelers is from a coaching standpoint, you could

251
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: just even say the staff, right, who are you taking

252
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: Tomlin and Terrell Austin or you taking Jesse Minterer, Which

253
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: I didn't realize tonight. Mike Tomlin kind of really got

254
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: his big break and kind of took off coaching for Cincinnati,

255
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: where Jesse Mintor's dad, Rick Mintor, who I met briefly,

256
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: we kind of crossed over a little bit. Chip Kelly

257
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: had hired him in thirteen. He coached for the Eagles

258
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: for a couple of years, well respected older coach, and

259
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: there was a clip on Sunday Night Football, Jesse Mintter

260
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: going over and saying what's up to Mike, and Mike

261
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: had a big smile and they were hugging. It was cool.

262
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: But I'm watching jesse Mentor jesse Mentor like that's he's

263
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: a big time coach. And I think sometimes Steelers fans

264
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: push back of what's up with our coaching? Like is

265
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: our coach? And I'd say coaching, I think can be

266
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: hit or miss, but your personnel's not great. And one

267
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: thing the Steelers used to have in their heyday of

268
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: early Mike Tomlin and up until like twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen,

269
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: their rosters were awesome. And now you're watching the rosters like, man, okay,

270
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: pretty flawed. One wide receiver kind of runs deep routes,

271
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: doesn't do much else. It doesn't. You can be hit

272
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: or miss on effort. It's like, yeah, I don't really

273
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: see it in a forty one year old quarterback that yes,

274
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: it's kind of over it. And when I say over it,

275
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: I just meant like standing in there like you have

276
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: to do, especially with a flawed team. And he didn't

277
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: want to do it tonight, and uh yeah, they got problems.

278
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: So I think the Baltimore Ravens. I'm changing my tune

279
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: because now I got a month of evidence. I got

280
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: four straight games Bengals, we got the Packers, we got

281
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: the Colts game, which is clear outlier, and then tonight.

282
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: So seventy five percent of my evidence over the last

283
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: month says get out, get out. Twenty five percent says,

284
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: what hell If their defensive line just causes constant turnovers

285
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: and sacks a quarterback every other play, they can win.

286
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: It's like, well, that's probably not gonna happen very often.

287
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: And that's what I bet on a night. Turns out,

288
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: they sacked Herbert a decent amount. I think it was

289
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: sacked and hit a bunch of times. Didn't matter. I mean,

290
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: they couldn't score a point to save their life. So

291
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: and now now granted, early on Dkad had broken out

292
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: and Rogers kind of scramble a little throwback play and

293
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: overshot him by about ten yards. So a congrats to

294
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: the Charger who look headed back to the playoffs, and

295
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: that that is Hardball's done some impressive things. Taking a

296
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: team that loses a tackle that you give one hundred

297
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: million dollars two to start the season. He never plays

298
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: a game. Another guy that you draft fifth overall and

299
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: is gonna miss I don't know, eighty percent of the season.

300
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: And to compete and to win games. It's just remarkable.

301
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: And this is my thing with Tomlin. Sometimes your message

302
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 1: just falls flat that they don't listen to. It's human nature, right.

303
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: Sometimes I think, like, how did I I know? I

304
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: was young, but like you don't live with my parents

305
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: for eighteen years. And I think as you get older,

306
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: you know, you just you think differently, you grow, you change, like, well,

307
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: I wasn't even the same human being, right, And I

308
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: think it's no different than you know, a coach like

309
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: their message. It's valuable, it's personable and and it resonates.

310
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: But after a period of time, once you go on

311
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: fifteen plus years, it's just it's time for a change.

312
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 1: And I've made a bunch of changes in my career. Hell,

313
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: I've been fired. It's the best thing that ever happened

314
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: to me. Ask Andy Reid was what was like to

315
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: get fired by the Philadelphia Eagles? Do you think he

316
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: regrets that moment? Look how his career took off like

317
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,719
Speaker 1: a rocket ship ever since then. Most coach Belichick got

318
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 1: fired in Cleveland went on to win six Lombardies with

319
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Pete Carroll got fired multiple times before he

320
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 1: went to USC went on to win national championships and

321
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: then another Super Bowl, I guess, his first Super Bowl.

322
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: But like he had been part of a Super Bowl

323
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: team with the forty nine Ers when he was younger,

324
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, getting fired or leaving is

325
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: not a bad thing. Jim Harbaugh, Once upon a time,

326
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: I was there living in the area around the team

327
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: constantly on the radio. I know they claimed they mutually departed.

328
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: The forty nine Ers fired Jim Harball. Think about that.

329
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh, who has been undeniably one of the best

330
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: coaches college or pro. And honestly, you could argue there

331
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: is a short list of guys who have proven they

332
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: can do both. I mean, he won a national championship

333
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: in college and if I'm a betting man, he's going

334
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: to win a Super Bowl in the pros. But even

335
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: as of right now hasn't won a Super Bowl. Just

336
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: he got to one. How many guys can say that, right? Obviously,

337
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll's done both, Jimmy Johnson's done both. It's a

338
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 1: very very small list. Urban Meyer, all time great college coach,

339
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: one of the greatest college coaches of my life. Couldn't

340
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: make it a year in the pros. Think about that,

341
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 1: could not make it a year for those of you

342
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: younger people when I was young, Steve Spurrier, I'm trying

343
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: to even think of what his comp would be in college.

344
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: It would be like Mike Leech meets Kirby Smart. Was

345
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: kicking the shit out of everybody at Florida went to

346
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: the Pros. Was a laughing stock. Most guys can't do both.

347
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: It doesn't work that way. Jim could coach the junior

348
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: midges down the street that are seven and eight year olds.

349
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: He coached high school, he coached college, and he can

350
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: coach pros. He's kicking ass at every level. It is

351
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: unreal to watch. I mean it really is. He was

352
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: put on this earth to coach and win, and he's

353
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: really good at it, and he's a good example. He's

354
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: moved around. Was it San Diego for four years? Was

355
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 1: it Stanford for four or five years? Was forty nine

356
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: Ers for four years? Michigan was by far his longest stint.

357
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: Now he's with the Chargers for two years. Like this

358
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: is the thing. With Mike Tomlin, like sometimes being reinvigorated,

359
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: having a new challenge, pushing yourself. So it's honestly why

360
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: I just went to hot yoga. I'm like, you know,

361
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: I don't do enough things in my life. They kind

362
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 1: of pushed me. I was watching this clip of like,

363
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,239
Speaker 1: don't even ask me how I ended up on this.

364
00:20:55,280 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: But Claire Kittle and Kristen Hughes Check, they have this YouTube.

365
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: It copped up in my feed and I clicked it,

366
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: and I'm kind of I didn't watch the whole thing.

367
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 1: It's just they're micd up, but I saw they were

368
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 1: in used Check's backyard and Kyle was like, I truly

369
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: believe this, And it was like kind of got serious

370
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: thing because he was talking about how he goes in

371
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: the cold tub and the uh, the sauna, and he's like,

372
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: I do believe you should try once a day to

373
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: do something. This just makes you a little uncomfortable. And

374
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 1: he says every morning for I think it's like seven

375
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: days a week for the entire season, whether he wants

376
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: to or not, he gets in the cold tub at

377
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: six am and he's like, honestly, most days, obviously, I

378
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: do not want to do that. It's an uncomfortable thing,

379
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: and it's just I start my day a little uncomfortable.

380
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: And I think there's a comfort level with Mike Tom

381
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. He knows where his office is, his wife's

382
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: got the you know, the the building downtown, the business

383
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: downtown where she sells stuff. It's like they got a

384
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 1: great little life, makes a ton of money, but it's

385
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 1: not working. So it's like Jim Harbaugh, new challenge, new challenge,

386
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: new challenge, new challenge. So one guy beat the living

387
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: crowd out of the other guy. So it's like, sometimes

388
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: you just need a change. Today's show is brought to

389
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: you by our new presenting sponsor, Hard Rock Bet. We

390

391
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: but there's so much more to bet on. The NBA

392
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: is obviously in full swing. I was watching Michigan State

393
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: and Arkansas play basketball. College hoops is back, even the

394
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 1: NHL is rock and rolling. So if you haven't tried

413
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: New Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia. Speaking about like what thing

414
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: with Jim Harbaugh. Jim Harbaugh can not call place Jim

415
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: Harbaugh has never called place, didn't call plays at Stanford,

416
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: didn't call definitely, did not call play was the forty nine,

417
00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 1: or never call plays with Michigan, and is obviously not

418
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: calling plays with the Chargers. It doesn't matter, like he

419
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: does not have to call plays to be a great

420
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,479
Speaker 1: coach like his brother. I don't think John Harbaugh has

421
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 1: ever called plays. Right's why he's fired or a lot

422
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: of his coordinators have gotten head coaching jobs. But he

423
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: doesn't call defensive plays, which is his background. Obviously he's

424
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: never calling offensive plays. But John Harbaugh and Jim Harbaugh.

425
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to go as far as say they

426
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 1: can't call plays, but when you have literally never called plays,

427
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say like they can't call

428
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: plays and they're still awesome coaches that their records speak

429
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: for themselves. I've called Dan Campbell the third Hardball brother.

430
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of similarities. I think

431
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: those three guys would get along very very well. If

432
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: you told me that Dan Campbell grew up with the

433
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: Harball family, I think he would have fit right in.

434
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: He's like a little bit more like the Texas redneck

435
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 1: version of those guys, and he they just have a

436
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: lot of similarities. And I've been saying forever it's like,

437
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: you know, Dan is there is an incredible leader of

438
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: men ceo and it's it's a great quality to have.

439
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: Like even Mike Tomlin once back in the day did

440
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: call plays, doesn't do it anymore, need someone to kind

441
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: of point the finger out on fire, but has in

442
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: his past call plays. Well, I didn't realize this. I

443
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: had the Commander game that the afternoons like today was atrocious.

444
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: I mean it was. It was bad, and I'm never

445
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: gonna complain. I get to do this for a living,

446
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: to watch football for a living, So when I am

447
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: saying this, I'm saying this in a with a smile

448
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: on my face. But it was at one point in time,

449
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers are down twenty one nothing and

450
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 1: Seattle was up thirty five nothing. So the combined scores

451
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: not a math major were like fifty six to nothing,

452
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: and the Lions it was clear we're going to beat

453
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: the living crap out of Washington. So Dan camp so

454
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: I got that. I had like NYR game on a

455
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: big TV, I had the Seattle game on a smaller TV,

456
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: and then I had the Washington game on kind of

457
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: my computer monitor, which is you know, when I was

458
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 1: a kid, would be considered a big TV. It's probably

459
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 1: like twenty five inches. And I didn't realize this. And

460
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: you look over Jameis and Williams making place. That game

461
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 1: wasn't even it wasn't even a fair fight. And then

462
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 1: after the game someone DMed me, They're like, what do

463
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: you think about Dan Campbell calling plays like Dan Campbell

464
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: called the place? What about Johnny Morton? And then obviously

465
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: do a little recon Most of you have priced scene.

466
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 1: I see the clip of Dan Campbell in his postgame

467
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: press conference because someone asked him it looked like you

468
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: were calling place. He's like, yeah, we just needed to

469
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: mix it up. Oh wait, Dan Campbell's call plays. Now,

470
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: Washington's defense is horrendous. You can like they are you

471
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: go through them like a wet paperbag that they have

472
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: no resistance. I think the difference of the Lions and

473
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: the Commander's day was almost like over two hundred and

474
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 1: fifty yards of of yardich. It's not a fair fight.

475
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: Their defense is Swiss Chiefs right now. But still Dan

476
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 1: Campbell and maybe he knew obviously he knew his opponent

477
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: but it's like, let's see if we can do something different,

478
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: and he just called the plays and Jamison Williams had

479
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 1: the best game of his season. Obviously, other guys you

480
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: know on in ros Saint Brown had a touchdown, Jamier

481
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: Gibbs running around. They look kind of like the Lions

482
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: of before. And anytime you lose a guy like Ben

483
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: Johnson and you're a CEO head coach, it is very

484
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 1: difficult to replace him. I'm not a Lions historian, but

485
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: I do think it's fair to say. Definitely, in my lifetime,

486
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: I mean, the Lions have only been good a couple times.

487
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: Scott Lenehan was the offensive coordinator for Stafford. I can't

488
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: even tell you who the guy was early on in

489
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: the nineties when they made the NFC Championship game. But

490
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: I do think it's fair to say as Ben Johnson

491
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 1: is probably the best offensive play caller the Detroit Lions

492
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,479
Speaker 1: have ever had. And that's not even I mean that's

493
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: a possible. I think he's one of the best play callers.

494
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: I think he has a chance to go down. He's

495
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: like one of the great play callers. Like you watch

496
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: him with the Bears, he is exceptional. He was born

497
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: to be a star at his job. And I'm talking

498
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: specifically calling the plays. I'm not talking to being the

499
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: head coach necessarily, which obviously he's doing a good job.

500
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that skill that we see around the league,

501
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,479
Speaker 1: certain guys are great at you know, the Andy Reid's

502
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 1: and the Sean Payton's, like that skill put them on

503
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: the map. Now the younger crew, the o'connells, the Kyle's,

504
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: the Sean mcvaz. Ben Johnson is a stud. I would

505
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: put him right in the top category with all the

506
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: other guys his age group calling plays in the NFL.

507
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: It's hard to replace. And Dan Campbell kind of went

508
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: the safe route. This Johnny Morton guy. He's old, he

509
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: bounced around the NFL. Dan likes him, feels like a

510
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: well respected guy in the NFL. Clearly he's not that great.

511
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: It is not a great sign for him ever calling

512
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: plays again. And I don't know, maybe Dan like, does

513
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: he really want to do this year in year out?

514
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: Probably not. I think ideally he would like to give

515
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: those responsibilities to some one so we can take care

516
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: of everything. But it had to be done because he's

517
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: looking around like the NFC while it's wide open. It's

518
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: also extremely competitive, and I don't trust you as a

519
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: play caller because I don't think you make that move

520
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: if you go. I trust this guy in big games,

521
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: and I need to get my reps now because regardless,

522
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: like if I didn't podcast for a year and I

523
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: came back, I would not be as good and in

524
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: a rhythm, and it just be it takes me a

525
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: little while to get going. So Dan Campbell's going, we

526
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: got to be rolling come December when we got big

527
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: games against divisional opponents. Then whoever we're playing in the playoffs.

528
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: I can't just take this away December one and hopefully

529
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: a month leading into the playoffs gives us a chance.

530
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: That's not gonna work. I need to do it right

531
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: now so I get a couple months going into the playoffs,

532
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: because to me, i'd be son if Johnny Mooton never

533
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: calls a play again in twenty twenty five. And obviously

534
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: you know you can just keep in there. Who knows,

535
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: it depends. Maybe Dan Campbe's like, I want to do

536
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: this now. I doubt it, but I think it's more desperation,

537
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: like I have to do this or we're in trouble.

538
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: And this is what I said early in the season,

539
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: in the off season, where I just thought this one.

540
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: I just had to look at his resume. I go,

541
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: this guy's fifty five. All these famous coaches, Sean Payton,

542
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: John Gruden, all I've ever heard is I love this guy.

543
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: I love this guy. We why didn't you ever make

544
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: him the offensive coordinator? Why didn't you make him the

545
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator? Jim Harbaugh? What do you do for Jim Hart?

546
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: There's a wide receiver coach for the forty nine ers,

547
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: So it's like there's a position coach. I've said, there's

548
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with being a position coach. What industry do

549
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: you work in? Right? Most industries there's a certain level

550
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: of like that's where you got to get to be

551
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: make big money. Wide receiver coaches in the NFL make

552
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: like seven hundred and fifty eight hundred grand, great life, right,

553
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:58,959
Speaker 1: And all you got to do is worry if you've

554
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: got a couple of great players, kind of motivating them,

555
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: keeping them awake in meetings, like you think you're coaching

556
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: justin Jefferson, like on how to get in and out

557
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: of breaks, Give me a break. You think you're coaching

558
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: like Aman Ross Saint Brown about what to do going

559
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: over the middle at this point. No, so I just

560
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: think he went with a safe hire kind of backfired

561
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: in his face. But he has enough skill. And I'm

562
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: a huge believer in people that you go that guy

563
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: can do anything right because some people is like that

564
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: guy is great at one thing, and there's nothing wrong

565
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: with that. Most people. If you meet a guy that's

566
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: like great at sales, usually he couldn't also run the

567
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: IT department. That's usually not how it works, right. But

568
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell, if he's proven to be a great play caller,

569
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: like that's something to happen in your back pocket. If

570
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: the plays go to shit with Jim Harbaugh and Greg

571
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:55,719
Speaker 1: Roman and Justin Herbert, like couldn't function together. Jim couldn't

572
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: call the place. I know that sounds crazy. He can't

573
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: do it, he won't do it. It's never happening. It's

574
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: not an option. John Harball defensive guy. They've gone through

575
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: spurts over the years where their defense been a little weird.

576
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: Hell it happened this year. It's not like John's like,

577
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: you know what, let me take over, can't do it,

578
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: refuses to do it. Dan Campbll's like fucking hand me

579
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: the sheet. I'll put up thirty five next week. Give

580
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: me the sheet again, I'll do it. So Congress is

581
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell, what a badass? Seattle in La. They look

582
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: like they're on a collision course. Now, obviously we're recording

583
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: this before Monday Night Football, which is gonna have big

584
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: ramifications for the playoffs to powerhouse teams. Two teams that

585
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: I mean could be a could be a preview of

586
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game, or could be a preview of

587
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: the second round the playoffs. I mean, these are these

588
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: are two big time teams. So it's no guarantee that

589
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: Seattle in La. Are you know who knows? I mean,

590
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: it's football. You both can lose in the first round

591
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: of the playoffs. Help you could play each other in

592
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: the first round. The playoff says two versus It wouldn't

593
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: be two verse seven they're gonna have too good records,

594
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: but three verses six. Whatever. But I would say right now,

595
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: and I told Coward this, if you know in college

596
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: football where they do every Tuesday the rankings come out.

597
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: If you told me, hey, John, do the college football

598
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: Top twelve rankings, Seattle'll be a number one team. At

599
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: this point in time. Now, I guess if the Eagles

600
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: were to go to Green Bay and win by forty,

601
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,479
Speaker 1: maybe I might change my tune. Just they're the defending champs.

602
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: I tend to lean with teams that have been there,

603
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: done that. I mean, I had a front row seat

604
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: to watch the San Francisco Giants the Golden State Warriors,

605
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: Like championship blood matters to me. But the way Seattle's playing, hell,

606
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: the way LA's playing. Look at LA's like last four games,

607
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: they are blowing people out. Now you can be like, well,

608
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: it's the Jags, it's the Saints. Well, okay, so the

609
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: NFL and they're just throttling them. I mean today they

610
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: and again the forty nine ers have a mass unit

611
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: on offense, A mass unit. I mean they got they

612
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: got guys that I don't even know who they are,

613
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 1: and their defensive line is just been obliterated by injuries.

614
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: But what do you do to a team that's injured.

615
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 1: You put up points and more points and more points

616
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: and never stopped scoring. And that's what they did. And

617
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,240
Speaker 1: I think one thing that defines both those two teams

618
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:26,479
Speaker 1: is they both made two enormous offseason moves Obviously Sam

619
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: Donald was one of the headlining free agent acquisition signings,

620
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: but I would say Devontae Adams was probably just in

621
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: terms of name recognition, one of the more famous guys

622
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: to sign this offseason as well. And I don't think

623
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: you could find two better signings, obviously Sam Donald. Anytime

624
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 1: you get a quarterback who has been one of the

625
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: best quarterbacks in the NFL objectively, it test wise every

626
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: metric you watch today. I mean I didn't even have

627
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: the game on. I didn't realize it even started because

628
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 1: it started two and the other games didn't start till

629
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 1: twenty five. And I saw on Twitter that I don't

630
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: know what play it was into the game had to

631
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 1: be probably like within the first several he just threw

632
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: like a He threw the ball I think from his

633
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 1: own forty five JSN caught it at the front of

634
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: the goal line, So a fifty five yard bomb in

635
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 1: the air that just had perfect arc and hit him

636
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,760
Speaker 1: right in the hands. It's like that is the play

637
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: was football porn. And do you know that DeVante Adams

638
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 1: has eight touchdowns has eight touchdowns. There was a play

639
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 1: today where he ran this quick out route against one

640
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 1: of the forty nine Ers safeties, and a lot of

641
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: forty nine Er fans like, why are they putting a

642
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: safety on him? Unless Dion Sanders was, you know, rocking

643
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: the twenty one in nineteen ninety four for the forty

644
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 1: nine ers, no one was covering that route. You talk

645
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: about football porn DeVante, who's one of the best route

646
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: runners of his generation. Matt Stafford threw this ball almost

647
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: to the front pylon where it was only either going

648
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,439
Speaker 1: to touch Devonte's hands or it was gonna hit the

649
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: photographer in the feet. It was just a thing of

650
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: beauty and those guys rapport is what Rogers and Davante

651
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: had by the time DeVante was five or six years

652
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: into the league was pretty special. It was a Hall

653
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: of Fame connection. It feels like Stafford and Davante have

654
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: developed it like that, and I would say the same

655
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:28,439
Speaker 1: thing for JSN and Darnold. The difference is Stafford didn't

656
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: practice in training camp, and I was wanted to be like,

657
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: this is kind of scary this dude's back. Man, I

658
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on this old guy's back. Look

659
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,760
Speaker 1: at his buddy Kershaw back started going. Was never the same.

660
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: Turns out didn't matter. I don't think they were faking.

661
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I do think his back was causing problems.

662
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: You watch Stafford right now. I don't know if there's

663
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 1: there's definitely not four better quarterbacks than those two guys.

664
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: Are there two better quarterbacks than those two guys? I

665
00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: mean they are just they are dominating it at football.

666
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: And obviously JSN who looks like Jerry Rice and DeVante

667
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: Adams who looks like Pete Packer. Davante Adams help a

668
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: lot the Bears and the Giants. There was a moment

669
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: today because of the setup that I have. I can

670
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: only think when you're watching like eight games at once,

671
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: you can only have the volume on on one of

672
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 1: the games, so you kind of got to pick. And

673
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: usually little inside Baseball here in the middle cough. This

674
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: office probably has another two weeks before it turns back

675
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 1: into a bedroom and I moved to the actual official office.

676
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: But I usually have the audio on whatever I think

677
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 1: is the biggest game in the morning, and this morning

678
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: I kind of throttled back between the Ravens and the

679
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: Vikings and the what was the other game? The Bucks

680
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: and the Patriots, but the majority, honestly, I just had

681
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: I just left it on the Ravens Vikings game and

682
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: all the other games you're kind of watching. But you know,

683
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 1: when little things happen, you know, stuff you just you

684
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: don't always have the context. And there was a moment

685
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 1: in the Giants Bears game which actually turned out to

686
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 1: be potentially probably one of the more exciting games of

687
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: the day because it was another historic collapse from the Giants,

688
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 1: and Caleb Williams made some great plays, And honestly, I

689
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: told Coward this, I thought he had a really good game.

690
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: He was making some awesome throws. It was freezing cold,

691
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: so it's harder to catch his ball. He throws like

692
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 1: a one hundred and ten on our fastball. He was

693
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: throwing some lasers today that his guys were dropping. Obviously

694
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: made some big touchdown. He had a huge touchdown he

695
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: needed a game when he touched out run and just

696
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: made some huge scrambles. And I just thought he played

697
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 1: pretty well. But obviously Dark got can cuss. But there

698
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: was a play once Russell Wilson was in there that

699
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 1: we got Producer Shane who was a huge Giants fan,

700
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,839
Speaker 1: Diehard pretty high on Jackson. Dark don't blame him looks

701
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: like he's got a chance to be a really good

702
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,240
Speaker 1: player if he doesn't get hurt. All of a sudden

703
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: throws in the text chain. Did Brian day Ball just

704
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: decline a twelve men on the field penalty? I'm like, nah,

705
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if he did. And we start, we

706
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: kind of figure out yeah he did. And my first

707
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 1: takeaway was like, well, he kicked the field goal. It's

708
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: twenty to ten, and at that period of time in

709
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, I'm like, ten minutes to go, they're

710
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: not gonna come back, Like the Bears aren't scoring twenty points.

711
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 1: It's like, bro, have you watched the Giants play this year?

712
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, if it's too cold, you're not gonna about

713
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 1: ten minutes later the Giants lose, and looking back, you

714
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 1: could argue again, twelve min on the field auto first down.

715
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:39,479
Speaker 1: It's not like he just kicked a forty five yard

716
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 1: field goal and you still got a drive in this

717
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: weird weather or whatever, and your backup quarterbacks, and he

718
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: was at the one yard line. The one yard line

719
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: where I do think it's fair to say that you

720
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: could even if you never let Russell throw, you could

721
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: run three runs. Worst case scenario, kick another field goal

722
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: at the same distance he declined the penalty. Let me repeat,

723
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: he declined the penalty to just take the field goal

724
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: instead of taking a new set of downs at the

725
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: one yard line. Obviously, the rest is history. He lost

726
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: the game. I do think there's a pretty good chance

727
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: some of you guys are watching this live on YouTube,

728
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: if you're listening to this on the podcast sometime Monday morning,

729
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: would not be stunned at all if at one period

730
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: of time, I would guess between seven and ten Pacific

731
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: Standard time, so probably ten eastern to like noon, maybe eastern.

732
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 1: Brian Dable, that probably is very confusing. I don't even

733
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: know why he just described it like that. I'm an idiot.

734
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: I bet he's fired in the morning. Let me just

735
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: if you said, John, do you think Brian Dable is

736
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: fired November tenth, or do you think he survives another week?

737
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: I'd say I'm leaning that he gets fired, because that's

738
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 1: pretty hard to shake, right. It's one thing on the

739
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: road Denver. We can debate how good bo Nix is,

740
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,479
Speaker 1: but I think we all do agree that Denver's gonna

741
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: end up winning probably twelve thirteen games. I do think

742
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: the Bears, who were not playing that well to lose

743
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: that game, that one's ourd his stomach. So I would

744
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 1: say Brian daboles decision would go down as the dummy

745
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: of the week I do. I wrote this down because

746
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,919
Speaker 1: I was like, this has really been pissing me off,

747
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 1: and I was like, you know what I don't do

748
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,320
Speaker 1: enough is just write down something that happens in a

749
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: game and just make sure that I get to it,

750
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: because it's like, I'm passionate about this like this, I

751
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 1: see this every week, and every time I see it,

752
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 1: it just makes my blood boil. I've been saying forever

753
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: and the one thing I've been consistent with this one

754
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 1: college football. Them throwing kids out of the game for

755
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 1: targeting is one of the most egregious things going right

756
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: now in all of sports, because one, we're a decade

757
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: into the post CTE era and concussion era that we

758
00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: all know the rules of engagement. Here, all these guys

759
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 1: are being coached, no one is head hunting, no one

760
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: is trying to hurt anyone. They might be trying to

761
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: physically impact them, but no one. Back in the day,

762
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: people tried to hurt people, people tried to crack skulls,

763
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: And now guys know, so when it happens, I think

764
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent it's inadvertent. And throwing a college kid

765
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 1: out of a game when the overwhelming majority of those

766
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: kids are never playing a game in the pros is nuts.

767
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 1: This isn't basketball or baseball. You don't get that many games.

768
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 1: And if they don't only get thrown out of that game,

769
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: they missed the half of the next game. It's it's

770
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: it's nothing. Is a bigger pet peeve in college sports

771
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: that piss me off More than that, I would say

772
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: something that has gone to that level in the pros.

773
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 1: In the Minnesota game, Dallas Turner, who was I would

774
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 1: say underwhelming a little bit based on where he was drafted,

775
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 1: and he was drafted ahead of Jared Verse and you

776
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: just like a little more, had an awesome rush today

777
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 1: and he sacked Lamar Jackson, and while he did it,

778
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 1: he got flagged for or the driving his weight onto

779
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback. And I've always said this, like when someone

780
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: gets flagged for targeting in the NFL or college and

781
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 1: they're both in the air, it's like, once you realize

782
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: the guy's moving, you do know these are humans, not

783
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:19,399
Speaker 1: like superheroes. They can't fly away. Once I run full

784
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,760
Speaker 1: speed around a guy that's three hundred and twenty pounds,

785
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 1: turn the corner in usually under a couple seconds, going

786
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: as fast as I can, I take off to try

787
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: to sack the guy. Once I am around him and

788
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:38,399
Speaker 1: going down, I can't then magically fly away. And even

789
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 1: Michael Strahan said, because it happened right before halftime, do

790
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: you know if a player tries to turn or tries

791
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: to make some movement, they could injure themselves. There is

792
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: nothing anyone can do when I am sacking you and

793
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:55,280
Speaker 1: landing on you my body weight. Now there are times

794
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,800
Speaker 1: if I pick you up and suplex you, it's like, okay,

795
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 1: that was excessive. But when these these guys are sacking

796
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: the quarterback and it's one of those unabated where I

797
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,359
Speaker 1: get a couple steps and I'm gonna light you up.

798
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,839
Speaker 1: I'm going to fall on you. That is the way

799
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 1: it works. And any guy over two hundred and fifty

800
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: pounds doesn't have the ability to change the way they fall.

801
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: That rule is outrageous. It really is. The call on

802
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: Dallas Turner made me want to throw up, made me

803
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 1: sick to my stomach. I'm not asking for nineteen seventies football.

804
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: But we have to all agree that is beyond the

805
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: stupidest rule we've ever seen. I'm sacking you or going

806
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: to the ground, I'm gonna fall on you. I'm a

807
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: defensive lineman, I'm bigger than you. It's not gonna look

808
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: great for you. You play quarterback. And they said it

809
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 1: on the Fox broadcast and Michael Strahan, why can that

810
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 1: same tackle happen to literally everyone else on the field.

811
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 1: Once you have the ball and I tackle you, and

812
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: I can go on you yet the quarterback. And I'm

813
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 1: as pro protecting the quarterbacks as anyone, but none of

814
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 1: these are malicious. The NFL has to do something the overregulation.

815
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,359
Speaker 1: It feels like California government, What are we? Lamar Jackson

816
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: was fine. He got right up, just like most quarterbacks

817
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:20,760
Speaker 1: in the history of the sport that have been tackled

818
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 1: like that. You just kind of get up. It doesn't

819
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 1: feel great. Why you want to avoid getting sacked? It sucks,

820
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 1: usually hurts. I mean, it's not great, you know, But

821
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 1: I thought the Dallas Turner tackle was one of I

822
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 1: just can't handle it. I mean I really can't. And

823
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like it's not only not going away.

824
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,879
Speaker 1: It feels like it's called all the time now, it's

825
00:45:42,960 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 1: just it's insane. And last, but not least, I saw

826
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman put out a tweet that I really liked

827
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: when it came to mac Jones and brock Purty, and

828
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: it was in regards to the forty nine Ers defense

829
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 1: got shredded today. And Tom Brady was asked about this,

830
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: I think on his before the game, or I think

831
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: he went on with Fox pregame maybe like an hour

832
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: before the start of the morning games, and because he

833
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 1: was calling the rams Nyder game, and they asked him

834
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: about the Purty mac Jones situation, and he essentially said,

835
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 1: like he's got to keep writing mac Jones and this

836
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 1: is not one of those where it's like you're benching

837
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:39,720
Speaker 1: brock Purty. But brock Purty is not one hundred percent.

838
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 1: He hasn't been able to be the second string quarterback

839
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,760
Speaker 1: in well over a month. He's not able to dress

840
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: on game day, he is not able to finish practices.

841
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: So to me, sticking with mac Jones isn't like we

842
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: got a quarterback controversy. It's simply the guy that we

843
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: just gave two hundred million dollars to not only is

844
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: not one hundred percent, if he's in a position where

845
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 1: if we put him out there, he's just gonna get

846
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: injured again. How does it make any sense to put

847
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 1: brock Party out there. Here's the other thing. The forty

848
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 1: nine ers now are gonna be right there with the

849
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears battling for the last spot in the playoffs,

850
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 1: and at minimum you're gonna have to get to ten wins. Now,

851
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers have some easy games in theory

852
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 1: on paper, right, The Arizona Cardinals, the Tennessee Titans, the

853
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. They have some games that most people would

854
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 1: say you should win. But you pull out a quarterback

855
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 1: who's not one hundred percent and who's told that this

856
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:41,879
Speaker 1: is not one of those injuries that just like broken arm,

857
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:45,240
Speaker 1: fixed it a month and a half later, it's healed.

858
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: I'm fine. They've all said this thing, Lingers, we saw

859
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,479
Speaker 1: him come back early, he got immediately reinjured. We haven't

860
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 1: seen him again. You just gave this guy almost two

861
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. I'm not one of those people that

862
00:47:57,840 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 1: act like Brock Purty sucks. You've thrown him to the

863
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:03,320
Speaker 1: garbage but a huge part of his game is moving around,

864
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: and I see no added value to bring a guy

865
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 1: unless he says I'm one hundred percent. The doctor goes

866
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: he's one percent, and he is no more likely to

867
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 1: get injured with this with this toe injury than he

868
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:18,800
Speaker 1: was before he even had it. Then I say, okay,

869
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 1: we'll go with brock Perrie because he's just we plan

870
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 1: on him starting the rest of the year. But that

871
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,280
Speaker 1: clearly is not the case, and mac Jones is playing

872
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,959
Speaker 1: like a really good player. The way mac Jones played today,

873
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 1: if their defense was just decent, they could have won

874
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 1: the game. He was the least of their warriors. He

875
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: actually was really good. And he's played two games against

876
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: the Rams, and in this totality has been excellent. Mac

877
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 1: Jones has played winning football. Mac Jones, probably as sitting

878
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: here on November ninth, beside, any guy in the league

879
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 1: on a rookie contract, has probably been by a substantial margin,

880
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:58,360
Speaker 1: the most underpaid NFL player in twenty twenty five. So

881
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 1: to me, the reason you keep going with mac Jones,

882
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: like Richard Sherman said, is because he's just rolling and

883
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:07,879
Speaker 1: your other guy is not healthy, and it's like, well,

884
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,320
Speaker 1: if he's healthy, Well, what do you mean healthy? Is

885
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:12,479
Speaker 1: he one hundred percent? He's not gonna get rehurt. And then, okay,

886
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: I understand the argument. He just gave this guy a

887
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 1: ton of money. He's your franchise. But if he doesn't

888
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 1: check that box, it's like, well, just see now, there's

889
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 1: no will, like, you're gonna risk making this worse. You're

890
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 1: gonna risk putting the team in a situation where he's

891
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 1: coming out rusty. Then all of a sudden, sudden, one

892
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 1: of those games, like, well, we should win this game,

893
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you lose it. Then he's reinjured.

894
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: It's like, what did you do that? For one thing?

895
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: The forty nine ers need to do because some of

896
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 1: these injuries. They lost another guy today early in the game.

897
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: They're starting linebacker, the guy filling in for Fred Warner.

898
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 1: Of course, you can't go a game healthy to save

899
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:53,320
Speaker 1: their life. But it's just try to make a sound decision.

900
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 1: And it does feel sometimes that they make some weird decisions.

901
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:00,840
Speaker 1: And over the offseason a lot of mone he was involved,

902
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: like how we wanted to build this team. We can

903
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,720
Speaker 1: agree or disagree with some of the personnel moves. Obviously,

904
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 1: the way some of these guys that get injured and

905
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 1: then they bring them back, they get reinjured. We can

906
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 1: debate if it's just whatever, if it's a doctor's fault,

907
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 1: if it's not. I know forty nine ers got mad

908
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 1: at me. I don't know, no one has the answers,

909
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 1: but clearly whatever they're doing ain't fucking working. That much

910
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 1: is not even arguable. I did see brock Party come

911
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 1: back one time, have not seen him again, so now

912
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to trust he's good just because he missed

913
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,840
Speaker 1: some games. This is injured. Dean Sanders got toes cut off. Literally,

914
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 1: he's missed a couple of TOAs because of this injury.

915
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 1: So it's like, let's be cautious like part of and

916
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 1: this is where the front office in ownership needs to be, like, hey,

917
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:45,359
Speaker 1: can we have like a five year big picture view

918
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 1: on this? What are we rushing brock Party back for?

919
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:51,439
Speaker 1: It sucks? It probably really sucks for him to sign

920
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 1: this contract. And now it feels like I'm just stealing money.

921
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 1: I'm running a scam here. It's like you're not. You

922
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 1: got an injury, a shitty injury that clearly doesn't go

923
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 1: away and limit your ability. But I'm on team unless

924
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:08,280
Speaker 1: you tell me no problem and he's one. No chances

925
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:11,360
Speaker 1: coming back. Not when this guy's playing like this, it

926
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:14,240
Speaker 1: makes notice no sense. And if they do it and lose,

927
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 1: they deserve to get crushed well and done this my

928
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 1: friends at hard Rock Bet Tomorrow night, Monday Night football.

929
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 1: I think I'm going Philly. Uh that that line's come

930
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: down a little bit. You know, Philly is typically one

931
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:35,359
Speaker 1: of the louder you know, a lot going on, whether

932
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 1: they're Super Bowl champs or whether they're on a five game,

933
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 1: there's always stuff happening. It feels like they're a little

934
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 1: quiet right now, kind of flying under the radar. A

935
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on the Packers. The Eagles kind of

936
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 1: thrive in that they're used to that environment. I don't

937
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: know the Packers. Matt Lafleur like it's it's been kind

938
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 1: of quiet over the years. For the first time, everyone's

939
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 1: looking kind of must win for the Packers. I'm going

940
00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:59,800
Speaker 1: Philly plus one. I'm going you want a little parlay

941
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 1: on Rock Bet Philly plus one. Jalen Hurts anytime touchdown,

942
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 1: Christian Watson, i think they're gonna try to throw a

943
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,479
Speaker 1: couple of bombs. Test out these new corners. To score

944
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 1: an anytime touchdown pays thirteen to one. So that's what

945
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:16,359
Speaker 1: I'm rocking with for Monday night. Enjoy the night, enjoy

946
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 1: the morning whenever you may be watching or listening to this,

947
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 1: and we'll talk to everyone after the Eagles Packers game.

948
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:28,360
Speaker 1: Can't wait the volume
