1
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: What is going on? Everybody? John Middlecop Three and Out podcast.

2
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: It's about four in the morning. Had to wait for

3
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: this game to end, not really, but it's about nine thirty.

4
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: I don't know how you guys on the East Coast

5
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: do it. Obviously, college football is a little bit longer

6
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: than NFL. An NFL Monday Night football usually starts to five,

7
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: is over by about eight oh five ish. College football

8
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,599
Speaker 1: started at five, and I don't know when. I mean,

9
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: that's a long game, but that was fun. We'll talk

10
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 1: about Burrow, Eddio and Lawrence off the top. Then we're

11
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 1: gonna dive into just about everything. Mahomes, the forty Niners,

12
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel uh an old famous coach. He kind of

13
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: reminds me of the Packers, Uh, Seattle, the Browns, Drew

14
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: Brees to TV, maybe Lamar Jackson, Kirk Cousins uh. And

15
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: then obviously the Middlecoff mail bag at John Middlecoff is

16
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: my Instagram handle slide up in those d m s

17
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: and it's the easiest way to get ahold of me

18
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: and I actually already recorded it earlier today. I answered

19
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of questions smart because I knew the National

20
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: Championship Game was gonna be long, so I recorded a

21
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: lot before, so I'm not gonna have to do too much.

22
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: But let's start with the National Championship game. You know,

23
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: when you're growing up, Like when I grew up, my

24
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: dad always told the story like how he went to

25
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: lunch with Mickey Mantle and the part of the story

26
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: was like Mickey threw down like five or six drinks

27
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: before advertisers got out, But part of it was like,

28
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: you don't understand, like he was just always an awe

29
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: of like Mickey was such a big alcoholic, but like

30
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: him going to you know, my dad was older, uh

31
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: passed away a couple of years ago, but he's in

32
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: the seventies, Like got to watch Mickey Mantle play, and

33
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: I was like, you don't understand how good Mickey mantles

34
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: at baseball and there are players like my dad's big

35
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: forty Niner guy used to swear about Joe Montana being

36
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: better than Steve Young, and obviously probably was, but I

37
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: could never really have the argument because I didn't really

38
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: see Joe Montana play, and especially the majority of your

39
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: like when you're young and you're arguing, like, no, Steve

40
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: Young's better or Brett farves better. You don't, You're just

41
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: going off what you have. And again for the kids,

42
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: like there's gonna be a group of kids you can

43
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: make an argument and just go to YouTube and do

44
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: your own little scouting. I couldn't do that. You just

45
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: kind of went with what you saw. I know this,

46
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: I will argue for the rest of my life that

47
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: what I watched Joe Burrow do this year was just

48
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: beyond stupid. It was freaking incredible. Like it it just

49
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: had a loss for worse. I had multiple NFL scouts

50
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: text me tonight, like, that's the best college season I've

51
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: ever seen a guy play at quarterback. His athleticism, his

52
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: deep ball, accuracy, his playmaking. He dominated. He he simply dominated.

53
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: Pull up his box score right now. Four sixty five touchdowns.

54
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: But he's just he He had an incredible season. He

55
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: had a season that will live on as a legend.

56
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: And tonight officially at O Geron and Joe Burrow and

57
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: all those guys. But but those guys are the headliners.

58
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: Well will never pay for anything in Louisiana again, I mean,

59
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: those guys are made men in the program. I would

60
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: imagine they'll get a statue because this wasn't just a

61
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: national championship season. It was a we're the best freaking

62
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: team in the country by a wide margin. That offense

63
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: that the LSU had, they have the number one quarterback.

64
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: This guy is gonna go number one in the draft.

65
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: Who had the greatest statistical season in the history of

66
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: the sport. I think he wiped out Timmy Chang, the

67
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: kid from Hawaii. Remember they used to run like the

68
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: Mike Leach spread offense. June Jones. This guy is running

69
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: an NFL offense just five six seven touchdowns a game.

70
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: Now you know he is playing with an NFL running back.

71
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: That kid number twenty was probably gonna start in the league,

72
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: maybe not as a rookie, but eventually someone DM me.

73
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: They're like, bro, have you seen, like do you think

74
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: that DeAndre Hopkins compares to the Chase Guide number one

75
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: for l s U. And I'm like, you know, it's

76
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: pretty bold praise. I haven't watched that much of him,

77
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: but DeAndre Hopkins elite. And then about half halfway through

78
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: this game the night, I'm like, yeah, that kid's going

79
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: really high, and then I realized it's a sophomore. Jordan Jefferson.

80
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: Number two is first round pick so that they got special,

81
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: special players. But Burrow the cream always rises and he

82
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: was their best player. He was remarkable. I thought, Honey Badger,

83
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: Tyrone Matthew put it perfectly. He was at this game

84
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: the night and his tweet was pretty simple, Joe Burrow

85
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: is better in person. And I said, I was thinking,

86
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: Honey Badger, you perfect tweet, because when you see something

87
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: in person, you go wow. It's one thing to watch

88
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: something on TV, especially a sporting event, but when you

89
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: go watch Tom Brady in the peak of his powers,

90
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: or Mike Trout in the peak of his powers, of

91
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: the James or Steph Curry, they blow you away, you know.

92
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: And I can't imagine being there to night, what was

93
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: on the line, given where the game is, how special

94
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: that performance was and very very cool moment for at Oderon.

95
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: A lot of people like myself, you know, referred to

96
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: him as dumb, referred to him as I can't believe

97
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: SC never should have hired him. And you know what

98
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: SC fans love talking about it. He didn't belong to

99
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: you that at Oderon belongs in the South. Now. Would

100
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: he have been better in Clay Helton, of course he

101
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: would have. But what he have done what they did,

102
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: probably not like he was perfectly suited for the South.

103
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: And I say it all the time. I've been fired

104
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: a couple of times and it's led me to be

105
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: much happier and led good things to happen in my

106
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: life because it forces you to kind of re evaluate,

107
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: it forces you to change, it forces you to be uncomfortable.

108
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: And at oderon when he didn't get the job at USC,

109
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: I remember he was devastated. And I think he might

110
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: have gone to the Saints for a year before he

111
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: then maybe that was maybe that was before, but he

112
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: definitely then he got onto l s U staff with

113
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: Les Miles. Is life changed? And now I turned the

114
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: TV off, I'm sure he'll be in tears like this

115
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: is uh, this is a moment that a guy I

116
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: can't even imagine. Like I'm from the West Coast and

117
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: college football is nowhere near as big as out here.

118
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: It's it's not big out there, it's down there. It's

119
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: a way of life. It's part of their culture. It's

120
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: part of you know, God family, football and all three.

121
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: There's not like one to three, they're all basically even

122
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: like when you when you meet guys from the sec

123
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: a Scott family football, you know his football family gout.

124
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: I mean the order, the order may change a little bit,

125
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: but it's all they're all the same. And you could

126
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: see the magnitude of this moment for the guy, how

127
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: much Joe Burrow will always mean to him. And you

128
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: know Joe Burrow gave the speech to the Heisman Trophy

129
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: how much he like guy like Joe Burrow said, he

130
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: gave me the keys to this program. And it's not

131
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: like this is Texas Tech. I mean, this is this

132
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: is LS freaking you. And it changed everyone's life. And

133
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: those two guys will be immortalized in that state as

134
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: long as they live and well after they're gone. You know,

135
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: it was that everyone that witnessed it, everyone that saw

136
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: it live, will never forget it, because I never will.

137
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: I would say the best teams I'd ever seen before

138
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: this were the Ohio State team and some of the

139
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: Miami teams in the early two thousand's, the Reggie Bush team,

140
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: but this team might have been the most complete given

141
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: their firepower on offense, and how good Joe Burrow was,

142
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: Like he's better than Matt Lioner, you know, he's better

143
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: than the quarterbacks and Ohio State from Ken Dorsey. He

144
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: just he's way better. He's in He's in a completely

145
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: different level. So that that, to me is the Trump

146
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: Carter because when you think about it, a lot of

147
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: like I'm thirty five, a lot of the teams that

148
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: I vividly remember watching, like the late nineties in the

149
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: early two thousands, like their quarterbacks weren't NFL guys. Even

150
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: like the sweet Nebraska team under Tom Osborne it was

151
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: like Tommy Fraser. So just special special night. The SEC

152
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: flexes their muscles again, and and at Ogeron and Joe Burrow,

153
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: I'll never forget it, and most sports fans with their

154
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: Salt loan either. And on the flip side, Trevor Lawrence

155
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: wasn't very good tonight, just period, point blank. Uh. He

156
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: definitely has all the talent. He's everything you look for

157
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: in terms of size, arm strength, in theory, accuracy. But

158
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: he was terrible. He was awful. Now, could some of

159
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: that to be to blame is l s U Probably

160
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: every dB they have as a first round pick, their

161
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: their wide receiver struggled to get open. But he was

162
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: airmailing guys left and right. He was he was a radic.

163
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: He didn't play winning football. It's just it's just that simple.

164
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: He did not play winning football. And once they kind

165
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: of could corral e t n who's gonna be a

166
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: really good NFL player they needed They needed Trevor Lawrence

167
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: to play like Joe Burrow, and he didn't just not

168
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: play like Joe Burrow. He just didn't play good. I

169
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: mean he threw for two or thirty yards and not

170
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 1: even touchdowns. If Joe Burrow is gonna throw for four

171
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: and fifty yards five touchdowns, you're gonna need Trevor Lawrence

172
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: at him him to throw for three or four. So

173
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 1: it's just a lot of people tweeting at me. A

174
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: lot of people d m ng me, this is gonna

175
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,599
Speaker 1: hurt his draft stock. Is he overrated? I don't know

176
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: if he's overrated because he has all the requisite talent,

177
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: and we've seen a guy like Jamis Winston, you know,

178
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: be very very inaccurate still go number one overall. So

179
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: I think this guy is on the fast on the

180
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: path to be the number one overall pack. But I

181
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: do think you can they pick him a little bit,

182
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: like you'd have to go back study that film, go

183
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 1: why was he overthrowing guys left and right, and really,

184
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: if you think about the Ohio State game, they took

185
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: off when he ran. Here's the thing. Do you know

186
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: what NFL people, I don't give a ship how you

187
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: run like it's cool and you get Twitter thinks you're

188
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: great all season long. You know what happens in the playoffs.

189
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: You gotta throw and make accurate passes. We just saw

190
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: it with our guy Lamar like running fun and all.

191
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 1: It's sweet. You can have all these yards all season,

192
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: run for eleven hundred whatever yards, run for ten touchdowns.

193
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: It's cool. When the rubber meets the road in January

194
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: in college football and definitely in the pros and it's

195
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: third and eight, you gotta hit the guy in the

196
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: hands on a deep out route from the opposite hash

197
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: and Trevor Lawrence was even close. I mean, Shaquille O'Neil

198
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: or Kevin Garnett in their prime couldn't have caught the ball.

199
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: I I don't know what was up with the guy.

200
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: I like him, I mean, who doesn't. You can see

201
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: the skills, but he was he was borderline atrocious tonight. Now.

202
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: I do think you gotta chock it up L s U.

203
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: Their defense is awesome. The other standout player that Isaiah

204
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: Simmons number eleven for Clemson. He to me and I

205
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: tweeted this tonight. I think he's the second non quarterback

206
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 1: off the board. And when when he goes to Combine,

207
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: a lot of coaches are gonna be what position do

208
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: you play? And he's gonna look at him. He's gonna

209
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: listen like seven positions. Well, I can play outside linebacker.

210
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 1: I can play basically a stand up defensive end and

211
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: pass rush. I can play strong outside linebacker. I can

212
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: play middle linebacker. I can play safety. Hell you need

213
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: me to, you know, cover a tight end in the slot,

214
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: I got you, dog. There's nothing he can't do. Special,

215
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: special player, an elite player. I don't see now, depending

216
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: on how the quarterback works, but I think he's got

217
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: top five written all over him. If I had to

218
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: go my top five middlecoff draft board right now, I

219
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: would go Joe Burrow. I would go I'm gonna put

220
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: two at number two. Assuming the hip checks out, I

221
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: would go Chase Young. And again I'm putting two over

222
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,719
Speaker 1: Chase Young just in the fact that I like the

223
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are more important. Although Chase Young, I'll go Isaiah

224
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: Simmons and I will go Herbert Base more on upside

225
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: and and just talent. That would be the top five.

226
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: And there are other there's a ton of other good

227
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: players in this I mean, this draft is pretty good

228
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: in the first round. But that if that's your top

229
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: five to a Burrow, Isaiah Simmons and Chase Young, that's

230
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: that's pretty star started right there. Again, I'm assuming to

231
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: his hips gonna check out, but Simmons. Then you see

232
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: a Clemson I mean they had an off night and

233
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: their quarterback was bad. They they got they got elite talent.

234
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: They gotta lead talent. Dabbos now what he's been to

235
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: five national champion of four national championships and won two

236
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: of them. So it's just it's a shifty night for him.

237
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: But it's you know, it's also a symbolic like we're

238
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 1: pretty freaking good. I mean, we get here all the time,

239
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: and that there's something to be said about getting there.

240
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: You don't need to win it every year. Part of

241
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: the Patriots dynasty and the and the even the Alabama's

242
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: dynasty is they were going to the playoffs every year.

243
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: Alabama never missed the playoffs till this season. So if

244
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: you go to the playoffs every year in pretty good

245
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: shape and uh and yeah, it was just that was

246
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: a fun game, little long, little long. You know, we'd

247
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,599
Speaker 1: like to keep those clocks running clock. If it's a

248
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: little bit of a blowout in the second half, that's

249
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: just that'd be the Middlecoff rules. But but a fun

250
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: night and just happy for Eddie Osan on that that was.

251
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: That was pretty cool. Okay, let's dive into what we

252
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: saw in Kansas City, UM a couple of days ago,

253
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: and it was simply remarkable. You know, you only see

254
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: stuff like that every so often. It's it actually was

255
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: a first in NFL history. A team up twenty four

256
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: nothing in the first half is then losing by halftime.

257
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: First time it's ever happened in the Super Bow era.

258
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: I think the highest number before that was twenty one nothing.

259
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: It had never been as high as twenty four nothing.

260
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 1: So what we saw what was remarkable. But I think

261
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: sometimes and I am guilty of this, we go we

262
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 1: have never seen this before. Lamar Jackson, yes we have.

263
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: His name is Michael Vick. Even Mahomes, like, we've never

264
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: seen Patrick Mahomes before. I think we kind of have

265
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: his name is Brett Farve, and he felt far Van

266
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: on Sunday in the comeback. Just his energy, his remarkable

267
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: physical gifts. But the one thing I think Mahomes has

268
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: and this is a cross sport camp, and I felt

269
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: it for many years going to games, even before Kevin

270
00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: Durant showed up, there was something with Steph Curry when

271
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: the Warriors could be down and that people forget. There

272
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: were many games over the years, definitely once Kevin Durant

273
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: came where they just didn't give a ship and they

274
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: would just kind of coast to start a game, and

275
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they'd be down points and you

276
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: never ever felt like they were gonna lose because the

277
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: moment Steph Curry would hit a couple threes, he'd start

278
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: shimming and he'd start shaking, the entire crowd would awaken

279
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: and it would be on like Donkey Kong, and there

280
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: was an energy that came off of them. Just I

281
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: understand if you if you don't like the Warriors, you

282
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: thought he was hot dogging, and he is. Well, Mahomes

283
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: does too, but that type stuff when you're at home

284
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: or to your teammates, you don't care what the other

285
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: team thinks, or what's some fan on Twitter thinks, it's

286
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: about giving them the belief because deep down, you know,

287
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: they say the most successful people in the world are

288
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: eternal optimists. Well, you have to have some of that

289
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: as a player, especially as a quarterback, the point guard,

290
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: you know, the head coach, whoever you are, because you

291
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: can't just you know, when it's twenty four nothing or

292
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: you're down, you know, thirty and half or whatever, just

293
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: look at the squad like, yeah, we're screwed, it's over.

294
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: It's just who cares? You know that there is especially

295
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL in a playoff game and texting around

296
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: like probably most people like, is are they really gonna

297
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: go out like this? I never stopped totally believing. Now

298
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: nothing is a huge number. But they have Kelsey, they

299
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: have Tyreek Kill, they have Sammy Watkins, they got the

300
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: rookie Hardeman, they got dudes that can just fly. And

301
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: then they have the special catalyst and that is Mahomes.

302
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: Now it's hard. Marty Morton Wig told me once, and

303
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: I think Andy Reid would know this as well. He

304
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: thought the best player he'd ever seen in all of

305
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: his years in the NFL was Peak far ninety seven

306
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: when he won three Star eight m v PS and

307
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: Mahomes clearly didn't win the m v P this year.

308
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: But like, who's the better quarterback, Lamar Jackson Mahomes? Give

309
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: me a break that there's not There's zero people in

310
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: the NFL, including John Harbaugh, that wouldn't take Mahomes over

311
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. That's not a conversation. That's not even hate

312
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: on Lamar Jackson. He's become a fantastic player and he

313
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: should only improve. My mom is a different level. Momes

314
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: is an all time great already. The dudes a legend.

315
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: Think about this, The Kamas Chiefs for fifty years had

316
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: never hosted an a f C championship game. Now when

317
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: back to back seasons they're hosting a f C championship games.

318
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: In fifty plus years of the conference championship game started

319
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: in nineteen, they've never hosted it. Now they're back and

320
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: back to back years. And that was a game yesterday

321
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: where you're like, I don't know, it's just not their day.

322
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: It's a little cold, they're off, they're rusty, and it

323
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: didn't matter. They scored fifty one straight points and Andy

324
00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:01,479
Speaker 1: Reid took Romeo Cornell out behind the cleaners and absolutely

325
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: just ravaged him. And the reality is when you got

326
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: a guy like Mahomes, just like when you have Steph

327
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: Curry and that avalanche starts, the crowd feels it, the

328
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: team feels it, and there is no looking back. There

329
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: is no stopping it. And there are only a few

330
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: players in sports, probably basketball or quarterbacks in football. I

331
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: think Russell Wilson definitely has this characteristic and it's a

332
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: little harder for him, even though God he's fantastic, because

333
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: his team is just not as good where Mahomes. His

334
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: team is so much better, as offensive line is better,

335
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: clearly as skill guys are better, and his offensive play

336
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: caller is on a completely different level than Seattle. But

337
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: there's no stopping it. And once that avalanche cops starts

338
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: coming down the hill, bodies are getting buried that that

339
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: there is only you can run and you can hope

340
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: to avoid it, but if it catches you, you're you're

341
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: getting wiped out. And Bill O'Brien, who you know, coach Read,

342
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: supported him after the game on the fake punt. I

343
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna vehemently disagree because the momentum in the game,

344
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: I do believe game the game. There's no such thing

345
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 1: as momentum, uh right, because a new game starts. They

346
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 1: say in baseball, the next day's pitcher is the momentum.

347
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: And it's true, like in basketball, baseball, whatever, there is

348
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: no such thing. Now, there's an internal belief when you

349
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: go into a game, like I think the Titans have.

350
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: But if the Titans just play crappy, they'll loose. Like,

351
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 1: you need to play well in every game. Now, I

352
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: do think your confidence raises. That's what makes my homes special.

353
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: Like he doesn't need a great season to be super

354
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: locked in. He doesn't need a great season two then

355
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: make him confident. I think the dude just kind of

356
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: born with the swag, you know, he just kind of has.

357
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 1: We hear this so often, and the reality is a

358
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 1: small percentage in sports, just like in life. Have the

359
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: quote unquote it, and he clearly has it. And when

360
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: you factor in the offense he plays in, the players

361
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: he plays in. But when you're playing the Chiefs and

362
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: they are laying a complete egg and you're you know,

363
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: I don't even know what yard they were yard line

364
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: they were at. It felt like the thirty, uh, But

365
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: you're up to seven and you run a fake punt.

366
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: The crowd is completely silent. The Chiefs are borderline dead.

367
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: Now there's a lot of game left. I think there

368
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: was eight minutes to go. But when you ran that

369
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: fake punt and then it gets stuffed, you woke up

370
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: the crowd and worst of all, you woke up Mahomes.

371
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: And then they scored and then obviously they fumbled on

372
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: the next kickoff return led to another touchdown, and the

373
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: route was on that there was by the time he

374
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 1: fumbled on the kickoff return after they had scored the

375
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: touchdown on the stop fake punt. The man on the

376
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: moon knew this game. Now, I didn't know they were

377
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: gonna score fifty one points, but the Chiefs are gonna

378
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: win the game. And Bill O'Brien deserves criticism for that.

379
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: Like in that situation, it's reckless. And I am the

380
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: number one proponent about having balls, about having big old

381
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: cohonis in business, in football, whatever you do. I think

382
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: what truly separates people in this in this country where

383
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: where we're capitalism is the way that we operate is

384
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: having stones. The smartest people are not the richest people.

385
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: It's the most aggressive people and Clearly football is an

386
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: aggressive game, so I'm all for going for it in

387
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,479
Speaker 1: situations running fake punts, but in a situation where you're

388
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: up seven on the road and you're on your side

389
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: of the field, so it's not like it'd be one

390
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: thing right if you were at midfield and maybe you

391
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: think you can totally cut their head off, but you

392
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: gave him the ball, which the chief red zone basically

393
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: starts at the forty. So it was reckless like that.

394
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: There there is a fine line, and it's a slippery slope,

395
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of gray area between having stones

396
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: and being reckless. And I gotta take the l on

397
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien. I've often supported him, and I don't think

398
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: he's some village idiot. Uh. His team goes to the

399
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: playoffs all the time, but he is not anywhere near

400
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: the top tier guys that the Andy reads the even

401
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: the Sean Payton's the obviously Kyle Shanahan's, even Pete Carroll.

402
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: Like he's in a he's in another category. Now. He's

403
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: not Tom Sewa or Freddie Kitchens or anything, because he

404
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: clearly is a capable guy. But I'm sure you saw

405
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 1: the video on TMZ or he's screaming at the fan

406
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: like he's got a screw loose, And I'm pro guys

407
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,719
Speaker 1: that have screw looses, like most people that are successful

408
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 1: in football, definitely, and you you could argue in business

409
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: are a little nutty. Normal people probably aren't the most

410
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: successful people financially in their field. You gotta be kind

411
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: of nuts. And Bill O'Brien might be too far on

412
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: the nuts side, because that one when I don't get

413
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: there's no rhyme or reason to what he does. Like

414
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: with John Harbaugh, he was consistent all season long. He

415
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: was going for it. Bill O'Brien, remember that game, I

416
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: think it was like week's eventeen against Tampa. He refused

417
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: to go for it, and then this game he's running

418
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: a fake punt and then he claims when they kicked

419
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: the field goal. I think the next series, or maybe

420
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 1: it was the seas before, they didn't have the right

421
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 1: play call, Bill, what are you talking about? But when

422
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: you're unsure like that, and when you're kind of lost

423
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 1: upstream without a paddle and you're facing the Mahomes, who

424
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: is the Steph Curry of the of the NFL, and

425
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: that avalanche starts coming, it's gonna bury you. It's gonna

426
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 1: kill you, and you're gonna lose the game. Okay, let's

427
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: dive into the forty niners. And I was at the

428
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: game on Saturday. I learned something this weekend and really

429
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: all season. I've been to like three games this year,

430
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: the Seattle game, Monday night game against the Browns, and

431
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: then that playoff game. And for about five years, the

432
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: forty nine stadium. Now, granted, I live, you know, a

433
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: parallel to San Francisco. I live in the suburbs. I

434
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 1: like my space, and you know, it's like forty five

435
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: minutes away with traffic, can be a little longer, but

436
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: on Saturday, it took me probably forty minutes to get there.

437
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean Candlestick. Actually Candlestick was actually just

438
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: as far too, because you had to go over the

439
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: bridge and kind of through the city. But I get it,

440
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: it's not in the city. So it got kind of

441
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: dumped on, and rightfully so Santa Clara. Now, granted, here's

442
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: the irony of the whole thing. Bill Walsh, his office,

443
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 1: like their offices have been down there for thirty five years.

444
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: So they basically just built the stadium where their office

445
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,719
Speaker 1: was we the fans were just accustomed to having Candlestick

446
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: close to the city, even though Candlestick, for those of

447
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: you that have never been there, was in the hood

448
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: and it was not a safe environment at all. People

449
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: often act in players and everyone acted like the Oakland

450
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: Colosseum was like the ghetto, and you had to be

451
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: worried about getting, you know, taken out of the game.

452
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: I'll promise you haven't been to both places. Candlestick was

453
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 1: way worse, so they didn't build there. The city it's

454
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: San Francico, such a messed up place. There's not much

455
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: room either. Couldn't have build there. Maybe you could have,

456
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. Ended up in Santa Clara. It got

457
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: dumped on. But the reason they got dumped on because

458
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: the team sucked. The team was god awful, and this

459
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: year the team suite and people are there. Here's the

460
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: way it works on the West Coast. When you're really good,

461
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: we can support a winner as well as anybody. San

462
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 1: Frasco Giants, Sanfasco forty Niners, two of the biggest brands

463
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: going the l A Lakers, same thing. The difference is

464
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 1: we ignore a loser. I lived in Philadelphia. We when

465
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 1: we lost my second and third year. I would imagine

466
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: the radio ratings went up. Same thing in New York,

467
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: same thing in Boston. They thrive in losing. They like it.

468
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: They also like winning, but they don't mind losing. It's

469
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: good for the media. Business people have opinions here. We

470
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: ignore it. We don't care. Apathy sets in really quickly.

471
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: Not me. I mean, this is what I do for

472
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: a living, is what I care about, what I talk about.

473
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 1: But the casual fan, like I am dependent on my

474
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: business when I do barious stuff, on them winning because

475
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: if they lose, people just tune out. It's really a

476
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: simple formula around here. So the forty Niners, that place

477
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: was rocking. And I haven't watched this forty Niners team

478
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: all season long. The one thing social media loves telling

479
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: you it's like the softening of America. How soft, how

480
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: soft people and nice people are winning now and again

481
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 1: I'm when I say nice people, I believe that, like

482
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: you can be an aggressive human being and be a

483
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 1: tough minded human and treat people well, that's not saying

484
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: treat people shitty, but like give ribbons for seventh place,

485
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: and that that's something as society has changed and everywhere.

486
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: That tells you like, that's what's that's what's in vogue. Now,

487
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: that is what is in vogue. Just like in football

488
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: it's a passing league, and it is a passing league.

489
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: But like you you can get away with Lamar Jackson

490
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: running around. Now, you know what works in life, just

491
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 1: like in football toughness. Now, in football it's actual physical

492
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: toughness because you're actually hitting someone. In life, it's mental toughness.

493
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: In football, it actually incorporates both. But that is never

494
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: gonna change ever ever. In this country, what works tough

495
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: people Bowl dominate in every freaking industry, including the NFL.

496
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: And when you look through the two games on Saturday,

497
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: the standardsco forty Niners and the Tennessee Titans. They came

498
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: in and they hit their opponent square in the jaw,

499
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: and that opponent quivered to the ground and then they

500
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,959
Speaker 1: just kept swinging. And I'll give Seattle credit, they operate

501
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: like this too. They had no business this year winning

502
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: eleven games, being in the second round of the playoffs.

503
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: But they are like a chuck Lydell in the m

504
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: m A. All they wanna do is just throw blows

505
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: at your face. And that works in football because why

506
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: because football is a violent game. It's a tough game.

507
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: Now the rules have changed and during the regular season passing,

508
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 1: you're an idiot if you don't. Cornerbacks can't press your

509
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Your wide receivers don't have to be worried

510
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: about going over the middle because they can't hit you,

511
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: and if they do, a flag comes out. Your quarterback

512
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: can't get hit. The rules and the officiating leans to

513
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: a quote unquote softer game. But just like the NBA,

514
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: when the playoffs start, people swallow their whistles a little

515
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: bit more. It gets a little more violent, just like, yeah,

516
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: you can give that seventh place ribbon to little Jimmy.

517
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: But guess what, when he's twenty eight years old and

518
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: he's his first big meeting with his firm or whatever

519
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: the hell he's doing, he's either gonna have to put

520
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 1: up or shut up. No one gives a ship how

521
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 1: he feels. That's just a reality. And the faster you

522
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: learned that, the better you offer for life. Right, Life's

523
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 1: not fair. And I would say the more mentally tough

524
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: people usually thrive in football, the more physically tough teams

525
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: usually thrive in the forty nine ers at every level

526
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: on defense, their defensive line. When d Ford is in

527
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: the you know, in the fold and healthy, which hasn't

528
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:48,239
Speaker 1: happened much, is dominant. Nick Bosa, I was wrong. He

529
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: isn't just good, He's elite. I've been doing talking about football,

530
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 1: watching football for a living now for ten plus years.

531
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: If you factor in college about thirteen, he's by four

532
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: of the best rookie I've ever seen. And again I

533
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: was on record, I would have taken quinnin Williams. That's

534
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: insane because I couldn't have been anymore wrong. This guy

535
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 1: isn't This guy is better than his brother. He is

536
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: an elite player, a complete ass kicker at a front

537
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: row seat for Khalil max rookie year. This guy is

538
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: in a different category. Now, Khalil became a special player,

539
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 1: but he was he was raw early on. Now, granted

540
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: he was coming from Buffalo. Nick came in like a

541
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: seven year vet, not like a seven like a seven

542
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 1: year vet that's been to the Pro Bowl six times,

543
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: kicking ass, taking names, and destroying everything in his path.

544
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: It is really really impressive. And then the two guys

545
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: they got from Oregon or six seven, they look like

546
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: an NBA player that are two nine pounds. They're unstoppable.

547
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: Then you look at their linebackers. Fred Warner is a

548
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: tackling machine. They got Kwan Alexander back just kind of

549
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: the heart and soul of the team. They have multiple

550
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: other linebackers. They've drafted. Dre Greenlaw, the guy that had

551
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: the tackle in the Seattle game, is built for this

552
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: modern debt game because of his athleticism. But all three

553
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: of them lay the wood. And the one thing I

554
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: tell all my NFL buddies, like, the thing that separates

555
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: the Niner unit is their dbs. A lot of times,

556
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: I think HERM Edwards uses this term a lot contact

557
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: courage football back to the violence of the game. Like

558
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: you got a guy running full speed and we all

559
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: watch the combine. We know the speed in which most

560
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: of these ball carriers, running backs, tight ends are moving

561
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: coming right at you. Some people don't have contact courage.

562
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: And a lot of corners and I always defend them

563
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: on this. If you're a cover corner, what what Primetime

564
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: wants famously say, they don't pay me to tackle. He's right,

565
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: they pay him to cover. But every guy on this

566
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: Niner team, obviously Richard Truman is one of the best

567
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: tackling and the guy. To me, he's the best tackling

568
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: corner of all time. Quaski Tart lays the wood, Jimmy

569
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: Ward lays the wood. Emmanuel Moseley, their backup corner who's

570
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: now they're starting corner, lays the wood, and Kwan Williams

571
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: their nickel corner physical player. All of their DBS hit

572
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: like linebacker. Now they're not as big as linebackers, but

573
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: the violence in which they attack a ball carrier is

574
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: that level. They're hitting everyone, and they're hitting him hard.

575
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: And a guy like Kirk Cousins, who, let's let's call

576
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: a spade a spade, somewhat of a mental midget. When

577
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: times get tough, he is not physically capable of overcoming.

578
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: He does not have the talent. It's just that simple.

579
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: Like Rogers, whether the Niners rattle him or not, and

580
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: they're hitting him like he's good enough he can overcome it. Now,

581
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: I don't know I'm gonna pick the Niners in this game,

582
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: but when Rogers is on the throws he can make

583
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: He's an all the time great player and he's proven

584
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: like you might beat him, but it's not because he

585
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: doesn't have the physical characteristics to make plays happen, or

586
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: you can hit him like Kirk Cousins wilts as I

587
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: think the Forest Buckner told Albert Brewer in the m

588
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: MQB article that he wrote the other day, we knew

589
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: we can get them seeing Gooss that that's who you

590
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: were dealing with. Take away the money in the five

591
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,479
Speaker 1: million dollar contract. He's not talented enough. And then a

592
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: team like the Niners are just gonna hit you over

593
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: and over and over again. They're just gonna keep swinging

594
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: on you until you say uncle. It's really that simple.

595
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: And then their offensive style is for most young coaches

596
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: typically they're gonna throw the ball. Why because throwing gets

597
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: you jobs. It's fun. We all love it throwing bombs.

598
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan dreams about running inside and outside zone. And

599
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: in that game, I think there was a point in

600
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: time in the second half we had eight straight runs

601
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: on a touchdown drive and then the next drive he

602
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: had two more straight runs. He will Jim harrorball wants.

603
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: I think against the Arizona Cardinals in like two thousand

604
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: twelve or thirteen, ran the play power. So when you

605
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: put a full back and a running back in the

606
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: eye formation and you run it basically behind let's say

607
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: the right guard, and you pull the left guard to

608
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 1: lead up, so you got the full back and the

609
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: guard leading the whole. It is the ultimate tough guy play.

610
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: And I think in a game and like the peak

611
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: of the hardball years, he ran power. I don't know

612
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: if it was the same side it might have been.

613
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: I think eight or nine straight times. It was basically,

614
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: we're tougher than you and you can't do shit about it.

615
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: And the thing is, and I was talking to a

616
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: buddy in the NFL, it's not like the Vikings a

617
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: soft I mean they got Anthony Barr, Eric Kendricks, Harrison Smith,

618
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: Everson Griffin, Danielle Hunter. Like they got dudes, and they

619
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: got shoved around. Because the Niners, where they really separate

620
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: themselves is toughness. And when you think about the forty

621
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: Niners historically, you think offense Bill Walsh, West Coast offense,

622
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: Kaepernick now Kyle Shanahan. The irony is and I'm thirty

623
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: five years old and I started watching the Niners that

624
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: I can remember in the early nineties. Their defenses were awesome,

625
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: in which I still think is one of the best

626
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: teams I've ever seen. They were littered with defensive All

627
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: pros and Pro bowlers from Bryant Young to Dana Stubblefield,

628
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: that Dion Sanders, that Tim McDonald and Ken Norton Jr.

629
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: Gary Plummer. They've always been Merton Banks. They will knock

630
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: you out. Obviously the hard by years. For as much

631
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: as we talked about Kaepernick and the pistol, it was Bowman, Willis,

632
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: Justin Smith, Alden Smith a mod Brooks, Scumbag, Ray McDonald,

633
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: Buddy was a dominant player. They and Whittner and Goldston,

634
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: they were just cracking skulls. And this defense is a

635
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: little different than the hard body defense. It's more built

636
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: on speed. It's just perfect four two teams, a little

637
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: more spready. You need a little more speed. The hardball

638
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: teams were built more for, you know, stop the Marshawn's

639
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: and the power runs and the physical teams. But at

640
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: the end of the day, in the playoffs now in

641
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: San Francisco, you know it's fifty seven degrees now, granted

642
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: for us, that's that's cold. It wasn't Lambeau, it's not

643
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: Kansas City. But the toughness and physicality plays in cold weather,

644
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: it plays in January, it plays for Super Bowl teams.

645
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: Just like you know, the guy that was told you

646
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: need to get better. They got a seven place placed

647
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: ribbon when he was seven years old. That's not good enough.

648
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: I mean that's Tiger Woods. Probably. Do you think Earl

649
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: Woods gave him a standing ovation when he finished fifth

650
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: when he was eight years old or seven years old?

651
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: Of course not now, granted Tiger probably wasn't finishing fifth

652
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: many times, but being being mentally tough, being physically tough,

653
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: that that will always play. Okay, let's dive into uh,

654
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: start with Mike Vrabel and then we'll dive into the Packers.

655
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: It hit me this weekend watching Vrabel, who, you know,

656
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: just the ultimate guys guy, What a badass. If he

657
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: was the coach of my favorite team or in the

658
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: city that I lived, it'd be awesome. He he is

659
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 1: a he's a cool mofo. It's hard to not see

660
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel and go, yeah, that guy, that guy sweet

661
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: that that guy just kicks the mass in his day

662
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: looks the part played, the part. Now has a team

663
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 1: that had no business being this far in the a

664
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: f C Championship Game. Incredible story. But I was thinking

665
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: about this when I was watching him, like who is he?

666
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: And I was got up early this morning Monday and

667
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: had CNBC on in the morning. There's not much like

668
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: I I can't really do sports TV or sports talk

669
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 1: radio in the morning until like Coward comes on about nine.

670
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: I like to get like to get my mind working

671
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: a little bit and just having something on, you know,

672
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: auxiliary noise in the background, just have CNBC in the back.

673
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: And they were talking how Elon Musk like there there's

674
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: never gonna be another Steve Jobs, right, but he was

675
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: a pretty unique personality. I bought the enormous Jobs book.

676
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna be honest. I made it through

677
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: probably it. It's huge. He's nuts. I mean, the guy

678
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: was certifiably insane. Again when I talk about usually nut

679
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: Jobs or the guy's kicking ass, but in in in

680
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 1: a good way and in some ways bad. I mean,

681
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: it could be an asshole to people. But there's not

682
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 1: gonna be another Steve Jobs. But there is kind of

683
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: somewhat of this unique personality now in Silicon Valley named

684
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 1: Elon Musk, who also if you've read and just google

685
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: like Elon Musk, slept in his office, started all these businesses,

686
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: some of them failed, some of them work obviously. Now

687
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 1: Tesla just a special, unique, kind of outlier human being.

688
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: And he's kind of like Jobs a showman. You know,

689
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: He's just he's the closest thing probably the Jobs. Now

690
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,399
Speaker 1: is he gonna Is Tesla gonna be Apple? I don't know.

691
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: I mean right now there's stocks over five. But he's

692
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: just when you say Elon Musk, kind of like Steve Jobs.

693
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: He evokes emotion. You're gonna have an opinion on him.

694
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: You know, I get a lot like my brothers in

695
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: the farming business, and I bring up, you know, Jeff,

696
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: you want to get the Tesla truck? He thought it

697
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: looks terrible and then he goes Ellen doesn't make any money.

698
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: Everything subsidized, and he's never really made any money at Tesla.

699
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: You know, it's one of those classic kind of tech

700
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: firms that like, eventually they gotta turn a profit. But

701
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel, it kind of hit me. Do you know

702
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: who Mike Vrabel is? Now? There are differences to this

703
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:50,479
Speaker 1: human being. But Bill Parcels. Bill Parcels was a big guy.

704
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: He was a massive personality and he gave zero fs

705
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:59,839
Speaker 1: about anything. He was not scared, zero hesitation going into

706
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: any game because the way that he coached, the intensity,

707
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: the physicality of his team's defensive oriented guy. And he

708
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: was just a badass, like the Big Tuna. Like I'm

709
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,280
Speaker 1: not talking Dallas Cowboys mid two thousands of Big Tuna,

710
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: I'm talking Giants in the mid eighties with Parcels by

711
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: his side, that big Tuna, the guy who was constantly

712
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: screaming at players, screaming at opponents. It was like, this

713
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 1: guy is sweet, the one guy who could go toe

714
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: to toe with Walsh and gave Walsh fitz him and Belichick,

715
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: and I think when you look at Rabel, you go,

716
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: this guy has a little parcels to him. Now, the

717
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: two thousand twenty version, you know he's he's He's probably

718
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 1: not as big of an asshole. And I think some

719
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: people would tell you, like Peter King that covered and

720
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: like Bill Marcel is actually nice guy. Now I think

721
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: he could be like kind of a dick if you're

722
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: working for him, and just the intensity of being around

723
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: him all the time. But that's a football coach I

724
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,760
Speaker 1: think gets stressed out. But like when I see any

725
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: clip that goes viral of Mike Vrabel screaming at opponents.

726
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,240
Speaker 1: One reason, like if I saw like Freddie Kitchen screaming

727
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 1: at an opponent, like telling him f you, calling him whatever,

728
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: I'd be like, Freddie, You're the biggest clown of all time.

729
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: When Rabel's doing it, I go, yeah, Mike Vrabel thinks

730
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: he would beat that guy up right now without zero hesitation,

731
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: and he'd probably be right. And there is some parcels

732
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: I in kind of parallels to Mike Vrabel that I

733
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: see of just this leader of he has a team

734
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 1: that isn't quite as talented of the team he's taken on.

735
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 1: Now underrated part about the Tynessee Titans, they have talent.

736
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 1: I mean they have a good offensive line, they have

737
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,720
Speaker 1: a star running back, they have a star rookie wide receiver.

738
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:39,240
Speaker 1: They have excellent defensive lineman or Shawn Evans, the linebacker

739
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 1: from Alabama, number fifty four has really become a player.

740
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: And never say the guy's name right number thirty one,

741
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 1: the safety, the guy that Dion Sanders didn't know who

742
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,280
Speaker 1: he was, who was like an all pro, he's a stud.

743
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 1: Their corners have improved a lot, like they have a

744
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: talented team. But Rabel has these guys believing like they

745
00:38:55,440 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 1: could take on the five Bears or thety Niners or

746
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: you know, the ninety three Cowboys and they shouldn't. And

747
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 1: to me, that's a parcels like characteristic and quality because

748
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: you look at him just his intensity one, just his size. Now,

749
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 1: he's unique because he played and he played for a

750
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: long period of time for Belichick. And I see this

751
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: a lot on Twitter, like can we just stop acting

752
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: like Vrabel coach for for Bill Belichick. No, he didn't

753
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: coach for Bill Belichick, but he was the guy's team

754
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 1: captain for several years and he was one of the

755
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: key players on a stretch where they won three Super

756
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: Bowls in one of the years where they went undefeated

757
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: and lost in the Super Bowl, Like, this guy had

758
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: a vital, vital role. So when Bill Belichick was instilling

759
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: these complex game plans that he's known for, right of

760
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: taking your number one, whatever makes your offense tick, he's

761
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,439
Speaker 1: gonna take away. Well, that's how Mike Vrabel thinks because

762
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,479
Speaker 1: he was a part of the installation of those game

763
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,760
Speaker 1: plans as the team leader with Teddy Bruski and Rodney

764
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: Harrison to install that with his team, and then he

765
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,919
Speaker 1: was on the field to execute it. And clearly he's

766
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: a cerebral type guy despite being six four to sixty

767
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: whatever he is. And then he immediately got into coaching

768
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 1: when he was done playing, worked for Urban Meyer, worked

769
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: for Bill O'Brien, Belichick guy, and now is running his

770
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 1: own team and just kicking ass and taking names. Now.

771
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: I think if you google Parcels, it took him a

772
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: little longer, you know, to kind of get a shot.

773
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: Maybe he became a head coach, you know, maybe in

774
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: his mid forties. Now I think Vrabel is also in

775
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 1: his mid forties, but clearly a big portion of that

776
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,720
Speaker 1: in his twenties and thirties, he wasn't coaching. He was playing,

777
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: but he was probably doing a lot of coaching like

778
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 1: stuff when he was a player because of the way

779
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: he studied. He wasn't the best athlete. He wasn't you know,

780
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: the most talented guy, even though I think he was,

781
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: you know, a mid round pick and then he bounced

782
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: around on practice squads. But he's just he's got it,

783
00:40:56,440 --> 00:41:00,399
Speaker 1: and it's it's pretty clear. And if you watch football enough,

784
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: which everyone listening to this probably has, you know, this

785
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 1: guy is pretty special, and I do think like he's

786
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 1: not Belichick, He's really much closer to Parcelves. And when

787
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: you look at the Packers one thing like I kind

788
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 1: of fall with Colin on this. I don't think they're

789
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 1: that good. But you're fourteen and three, You're in the

790
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game, You've had a hell of a season.

791
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 1: You still have Aaron Rodgers, the first ballot Hall of Famer.

792
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: You still have Davante Adams, who's one of the I

793
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 1: don't know seven or eight best wide receivers in the

794
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: league where their franchise really changed. And I think if

795
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 1: you're McCarthy, now, I get your with Jerry right now,

796
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: and you're you're walking around the Star in Dallas and

797
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,919
Speaker 1: you're you're checking your bank account and the new direct

798
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 1: deposits are coming in. You're feeling good, but you gotta go.

799
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: You know what, Ted Thompson really screwed me over the years. Now,

800
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,760
Speaker 1: we don't have unlimited budgets like Jerry Jones or Jeffrey

801
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: Lewie or Stan Cronkey. But in the NFL everyone has money.

802
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 1: Even the broke guys Mike Brown and Mark Davis get

803
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:03,760
Speaker 1: a big check from the league. So we can afford

804
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 1: to pay for players, but Ted Thompson fundamentally disagreed with

805
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: signing guys outside the organization. Really, in the last twenty

806
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 1: eight nine years, they've done it three times, Reggie White,

807
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: Charles Woodson, and really Charles Woodson didn't cost as much.

808
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: And this year's Darius Smith, who also when you look

809
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 1: at his number, only got twenty million dollars guaranteed. So

810
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,359
Speaker 1: Darius Smith changed their franchise because whenever I watched him

811
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 1: in they're winning, and clearly they do a lot of winning.

812
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: They've won four teen games. He is unblockable. They put

813
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: him inside, they put him outside against the run, obviously

814
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 1: against the past, he has been a force. You can't

815
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: list five better defensive front players this season than him.

816
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: How you might not be able to re list three

817
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 1: better ones. Maybe Derek Watt had a better seasons. Not

818
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: Derek Watt, t J Watt, Khalil MC didn't you know,

819
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 1: thinking we're find me the best. Shaquille Barrett maybe with Tampa,

820
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: but he wasn't really playing now that I know, they

821
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: bat back, but they were three and seven at one

822
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 1: point in time, Zadarius Smith. The Packers were at a

823
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:09,359
Speaker 1: great record and we're kind of setting the tone, you know,

824
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: all all season long. So I think that the Packers,

825
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: I give them credit that Gudakins clearly just didn't follow

826
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: the Ted Thompson blueprint because it worked, I mean for

827
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: a long period of time. Operating like Ted Thompson drafting,

828
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 1: developing around far and Rogers led to a ton of wins,

829
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: division championships, playoff victories, but usually expose them in the

830
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: playoffs because we go, God, they're a little soft. Well,

831
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,800
Speaker 1: when you got Za Darius and Preston, they're not soft

832
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: at all. Their dbs all hit. Really their weakness is

833
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:48,320
Speaker 1: probably linebacker. But signing players like you gotta sign players

834
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: you need to supplement. You're not gonna bat a thousand

835
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: in the draft. Even if you're doing good in draft,

836
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a ton of holes. Look at the

837
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 1: Patriots historic they've signed guys Chris hog In, Burke Burkehead,

838
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:06,359
Speaker 1: uh Stefon Gilmore, signed Jamie Collins back, Patrick Chung back. Now,

839
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 1: granted they drafted some of those guys, but Gilmore is

840
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: a good example, and definitely on offense. They've signed a

841
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 1: ton of guys over the years. Look at the forty

842
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: and look at this forty niner team. They traded and

843
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 1: paid d Ford. They went and signed Richard Sherman, like

844
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: those guys are pretty important in what they do. They

845
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 1: signed Kyle us Chick, made him the highest paid fullback

846
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: of all time. Been worth every penny, every stinking penny.

847
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: So if you're gonna make a run, look at the

848
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: Look at the campc Chiefs, Boom Honey Badger change their

849
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: defense also offensively. Now they overpaid this guy a little bit,

850
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 1: but he is pretty important and makes them really potent

851
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: in samuy Watkins. Once upon a time they signed Mitchell

852
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,359
Speaker 1: Schwartz as a free agent, Like you need. You don't

853
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: need to be the Yankees signed like six or seven

854
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: guys every year because that's not gonna work, But you

855
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: need do need to isolate three or four guys every

856
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: offseason and and be aggressive to get him. And usually

857
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: you'll probably if you're a good team, end up with

858
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: one or two of the three or four of them.

859
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: And if you're you got good scouts and you've isolated

860
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:11,280
Speaker 1: and have a good coach and have the right scheme

861
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: for those players, it's gonna work because the guy, if

862
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,399
Speaker 1: he's showing you what he is on tape and you're

863
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: gonna ask him to do that same thing for you.

864
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: It will work, but were you get in trouble and

865
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:23,760
Speaker 1: free agency is when you see a guy doing something

866
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 1: and then you ask him to do something else. It'd

867
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 1: be like, you're the number one sales guy in Tempe, Arizona,

868
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 1: and I own an I T firm and I pay

869
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 1: I double your salary, and then I asked you to code.

870
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,399
Speaker 1: You'd be like, well, this is not gonna work. That's

871
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: essentially when free agency screws up. If you are a

872
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: power running back and then I asked you to be

873
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,399
Speaker 1: a third down pass catching back and you're like, why

874
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 1: is this not working? Because that's not what That's not

875
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: what he did when you signed him. And I've seen

876
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: it firsthand when I was in Philly. We when we

877
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 1: signed Namdi Asimoa, asked him to play inside and he

878
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 1: couldn't do it. It It turns out he was just over

879
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 1: the hill anyway. But you have to ask guys to

880
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 1: do what they're good at doing, and that's what the

881
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: Packers have done. And to me, it starts with the

882
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: general manager and the organizational shift on signing and isolating

883
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 1: two or three guys their impact players and being aggressive

884
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,760
Speaker 1: to pay them because, yeah, you don't have an owner

885
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: like Jerry Jones that has unlimited cash in his bank,

886
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 1: but you do have the NFL check, and that NFL

887
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: check grows every year and it's an enormous number. And

888
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: the Packers took advantage of it this year and find

889
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 1: themselves in the NFC Championship game. Okay, let's dive into

890
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: a couple other just headline stories and you know, other

891
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 1: parts of the other games that happened. Let's start with

892
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 1: the Browns. They hired Kevin Stefanski and the big talk

893
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 1: and of course it was after the game is after

894
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 1: Minnesota San Francisco game. There's no way the Browns because

895
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 1: it was clear when I fell asleep on Saturday night.

896
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 1: I think there was a report on Friday Robert Salo

897
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: was out by the time Saturday came, and definitely by

898
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: the night it felt like it was basically his job.

899
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 1: And then in the morning on Sunday it's reported that

900
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:08,280
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski is the new Browns coach and Twitter freaks,

901
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 1: how did did they watch the game? Did Paul de Podesta,

902
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: the baseball guy, watched the game? My answer is no,

903
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 1: do you know what number and analytical guys believe, especially

904
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: from the baseball community, that small sample sizes are meaningless.

905
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 1: There Billy Bean doesn't even watch baseball games. He works out.

906
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 1: If you told me that Paul de Podesta went for

907
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 1: a hike during the Niner Viking game, I would believe

908
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,879
Speaker 1: you he was gonna put zero stock. The Niners could

909
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 1: have won that game a hundred to nothing, and Stefanski

910
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 1: and the Vikings and the Kirk Cousins and Dalvin Cook

911
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: could have ended that game with minus a hundred yards

912
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: could It could have been the worst performance in playoff

913
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 1: or regular season history. And Paul de Podesta wouldn't have

914
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 1: cared at all. These baseball people, they don't believe in

915
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 1: small sample sizes. They believe in what the masses think.

916
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,760
Speaker 1: Paul de Podesta loves that everyone thinks he's an idiot

917
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 1: for hiring this guy. He thinks you guys are the morons.

918
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:09,359
Speaker 1: They're very black and white. It's quantitative. It pumps out

919
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 1: of the Excel spreadsheet and they believe it. And I

920
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 1: say it all the time. My issue everyone used analytics.

921
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: I was doing some accounting today talking forty times the combines,

922
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 1: not too far away. Analytics are a huge part of

923
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 1: anyone's life who lives in normal society. My issue with

924
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:31,280
Speaker 1: the analytical sports movement in football is why can't anyone

925
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,919
Speaker 1: ever admit they're wrong. I admit I'm wrong all the time.

926
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:37,359
Speaker 1: I wanted the Niners of draft Quinn and Williams. Nick

927
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:39,839
Speaker 1: Bosa isn't just good, He's the best rookie I've ever

928
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 1: seen since I've been professionally doing this for about twelve years.

929
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 1: He's incredible. I say I'm wrong all the time. I

930
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:48,359
Speaker 1: thought the Vikings would put up more of a fight.

931
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 1: It's like those the number guys never believe they're wrong

932
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:55,399
Speaker 1: because when the number tells them they're right, they that's

933
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:58,240
Speaker 1: just they're right. And again it's parts of their brain,

934
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: like my brain thrives in the gray areas. A lot

935
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: of people that I know they think like that. But

936
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: I also know number of people that's just not the

937
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:08,800
Speaker 1: way they think. I've worked with them with the Eagles.

938
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,399
Speaker 1: They just you get an argument. It never ends because

939
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 1: they're never going to back off. Well, I have no

940
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 1: problem change in my opinion. If you present me with

941
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: new information, I do it all the time. Invest in

942
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:21,280
Speaker 1: the company, it starts going backwards. Sold all my Netflix

943
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: stock about six months ago. I just didn't like where

944
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: it was heading. Now it's actually going back up. But

945
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 1: you're crazy if you're not open minded to anything. But

946
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 1: to think that Paul de Podesta put much stock in

947
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 1: this game, you're you're crazy because that's not the way

948
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 1: the Billy Bean process and all his minions think it puts.

949
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:42,240
Speaker 1: He puts zero stock in that game. Let me repeat,

950
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 1: zero stock in that game. My big issue with the

951
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: Browns is Paul de Podesta lives in San Diego. It's

952
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. I

953
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:55,240
Speaker 1: haven't been everywhere, but I've been a lot of beautiful places, Hawaii,

954
00:49:55,280 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 1: New Zealand, Spain, Um, Italy, Philly. I'm kidding, but he

955
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 1: lives in San Diego. There's not a human alive that

956
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't rather live in San Diego than Cleveland. But when

957
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 1: your football team is in Cleveland, you gotta live in

958
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 1: Cleveland if you're going to be the boss. And from

959
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 1: the latest reports I've seen, he doesn't plan on moving

960
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: to Cleveland yet. On Friday, part of the reports of

961
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:23,840
Speaker 1: this Kevin Stefanski deal, and I get why Stefanski Robert

962
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 1: Sala because I kept tweeting, like, these guys should turn

963
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: down this job. But they probably both make about a

964
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 1: million bucks if Jimmy has them. If you're making a

965
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: million dollars a year and someone offers you have five

966
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,879
Speaker 1: million dollars a year for five years, so you could

967
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: make five million dollars over the next five years, or

968
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 1: you could make million dollars. Just basic math. If you're

969
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:47,919
Speaker 1: making a hundred grand and someone offers you five grand

970
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 1: for a guaranteed contract of five years, that's it's a huge,

971
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 1: huge economic difference. But to think that you have to

972
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 1: present your information to handle the analytic group on Friday,

973
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 1: and that was one of the report worse to me

974
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 1: is asinine because one that structure isn't gonna work because

975
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:07,720
Speaker 1: you should be working hand in hand with them throughout

976
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 1: the week. There shouldn't be some like come to Jesus

977
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,320
Speaker 1: moment at the end of the week and they're specially

978
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 1: shouldn't be that situation when these coaches work crazy hours.

979
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 1: They get there at the crack of dawn, they don't

980
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 1: leave till midnight Monday, basically through Thursday. It is a

981
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 1: grind and to have this guy that's living by the beach,

982
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:28,799
Speaker 1: I'm sure living living like a king, or they all

983
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 1: wish they would be, especially November and December when it

984
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: starts getting cold and snowy, flying out every Friday. Hell,

985
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 1: maybe even teleconferencing in from his place in San Diego

986
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:41,919
Speaker 1: and then dictating what you're gonna do in the game plan.

987
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 1: We're dealing with humans here, not robots. If that is

988
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,439
Speaker 1: the setup, it is going to be the biggest tire

989
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: fire in American history, not just in sports, but in

990
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 1: American history. That is destined to be like Freddy Kitchen's blow,

991
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: because Freddy Kitchens was a moron. This is going to

992
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 1: be the in fighting here. Like we think the Browns

993
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 1: have had a lot of infighting over the last decade.

994
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 1: It's about to really amp up if this is going

995
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:09,760
Speaker 1: to be the case, because again, just whatever your whatever

996
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:13,279
Speaker 1: you do as a job, imagine working and this is

997
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:15,839
Speaker 1: you know, when I remember growing up, I was not

998
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:17,800
Speaker 1: never the smartest guy in the group, So I'd always

999
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 1: aligned myself with smarter kids in group projects. They would

1000
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 1: do the majority of the work and then I would

1001
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 1: just write John Middlecoff on the project. Then you get

1002
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:27,319
Speaker 1: an a but imagine if those people, you don't know

1003
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 1: those people, and they don't want you in their group,

1004
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 1: and you get in their group and you try to

1005
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:33,919
Speaker 1: piggyback the credit. Then you come in on Friday, they'd

1006
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: be like, what have you been doing all week? It's

1007
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 1: just it's basic human dynamics. It is not gonna work now.

1008
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 1: I look at the thing Jimmy Haslum. I don't know

1009
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:45,839
Speaker 1: any owners in the NFL, so I don't know if

1010
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 1: it's normal practice to have a weekly meeting. I understand

1011
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:52,319
Speaker 1: if you're the owner of the team, you want to

1012
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 1: know what goes right and what goes wrong. But I

1013
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 1: do think that you could just because one of the

1014
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:59,760
Speaker 1: reports is Stevanski has to meet with Jimmy Haslum every Monday,

1015
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 1: which I think if there's an issue, like something happened

1016
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 1: in the game, couldn't you just go into his office

1017
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 1: you all do all on the team and just ask

1018
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 1: him what happened? Do you have to schedule a weekly meeting?

1019
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 1: Part of Monday is one to evaluate what happened in

1020
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:15,719
Speaker 1: the game and then to look forward. I just think

1021
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 1: that they they have too many chefs in the kitchen

1022
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:23,280
Speaker 1: right now, and the best organizations one are all working

1023
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:27,439
Speaker 1: hand and hand, not separate, and then you get together

1024
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 1: at the end of the week and you can start

1025
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:30,919
Speaker 1: fighting over what's gonna work and what's not gonna work.

1026
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:34,680
Speaker 1: The other thing, you see the play sheet that Kyle Shanahan,

1027
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:36,879
Speaker 1: that are an Andy Reid or whoever any coach has.

1028
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 1: I guess McVeigh has got a smaller one, but most

1029
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 1: coaches have pretty big play sheets. Well, if you read

1030
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:45,920
Speaker 1: that play sheet like Andy reads or Kyle Shanahan's, it

1031
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:49,760
Speaker 1: would if you're speak English, would be like reading Chinese.

1032
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 1: You would have no clue what any of this ship means.

1033
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: So how is Paul de podest one of his minions

1034
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:59,360
Speaker 1: unless they learned the offense gonna know well like x

1035
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 1: Z wing right, razor whatever, you know the crazy play calls.

1036
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 1: I can't even do it. You know Tiger left, razor

1037
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 1: slot all that stuff. How do they even know what

1038
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:11,719
Speaker 1: that means? So it's like you've got to turn in

1039
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 1: the game plan slash play sheet. Okay. I mean I

1040
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 1: could hand you a book in Chinese. If you can't

1041
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 1: read it, what you could just look at it all

1042
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,759
Speaker 1: day long and say it's right or wrong. I think

1043
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 1: the setup is already a disaster. And I'm not anti analytics.

1044
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:30,239
Speaker 1: I'm just anti your analytic guy who's in charge living

1045
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 1: in San Diego when the operations in Cleveland like that,

1046
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 1: that's a joke. And and if you can't see that,

1047
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:39,840
Speaker 1: then I just maybe we don't live in the same planet,

1048
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:43,720
Speaker 1: because that's that's a clear setup that's not gonna work.

1049
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:46,320
Speaker 1: One story that came out that was kind of interesting

1050
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 1: is that TV networks have been sniffing around Drew brees

1051
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 1: Uh to gauge his interest. My recommended to Drew, as

1052
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 1: long as someone's willing to pay you twenty to thirty

1053
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 1: million dollars a year, and you can lead a playoff

1054
00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:00,359
Speaker 1: team t V anchoing anywhere now the setup, but one

1055
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:02,360
Speaker 1: day it might be on Amazon in five years or

1056
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 1: Netflix or you know, Hulu, or wherever the hell it's heading.

1057
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:08,279
Speaker 1: But Drew, you're gonna be fine play as long as

1058
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,319
Speaker 1: you can. You've been blessed by the grace of God

1059
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:12,799
Speaker 1: to be able to play at a high level up

1060
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:15,279
Speaker 1: until your forties. And I think I read that he

1061
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:18,319
Speaker 1: still plans on playing, but like, it's cool that they're

1062
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:20,800
Speaker 1: gonna call you when you're forty five. Whenever you retire

1063
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 1: so unlike you know, you saw Jason Witten who ended

1064
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 1: up going back. Now part of it he was bad,

1065
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:28,799
Speaker 1: like Drew Brees would be good. I think Drew Brees

1066
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 1: would be really good. I don't think he'd be as

1067
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:33,359
Speaker 1: Romo e. I think he'd be more kind of like

1068
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:35,399
Speaker 1: a little more serious, kind of like a John Lynch.

1069
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 1: Like John Lynch was really good at TV. You know,

1070
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:39,360
Speaker 1: you don't need to be like we're almost kind of

1071
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:42,800
Speaker 1: unique personality. But I think Drew Brees would be destined

1072
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 1: if he wants to the difference of like Drew Brees

1073
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:47,879
Speaker 1: is gonna have hundreds of millions of dollars in the bank.

1074
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 1: Now he loves football, but he also has little kids.

1075
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 1: Who knows. But if he wants to do it, I

1076
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:57,880
Speaker 1: think he should. There's another big story by I'm not

1077
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 1: trying to not give credit. I just forget some you know,

1078
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 1: Front Office Network or something that ESPN. Of course book

1079
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:09,439
Speaker 1: bookers not coming back, thank god, hid uh, nice guy.

1080
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,719
Speaker 1: Just you know, ESPN do better, and they're trying to.

1081
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 1: They're gonna offer Tony Romo between ten and fourteen million

1082
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 1: dollars to do Monday night football. To me, he's worth

1083
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 1: every penny. If John Madden was worth eight in ninety two,

1084
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:24,919
Speaker 1: I mean's just basic math. The top guy in two

1085
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 1: thousand twenty should be worth fifteen. So if you're Tony

1086
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:30,840
Speaker 1: Romo to me, you have leverage, you just go. I

1087
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 1: will stay at CBS. CBS offers a couple of things. One,

1088
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:38,440
Speaker 1: they have the a f C and now, granted their

1089
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are getting a little older, I'd argue the NFC

1090
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 1: you got my homes, he got Watson, you got Lamar.

1091
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 1: Actually it's pretty good, but you work with Jim Nance

1092
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:47,919
Speaker 1: like you work with a pretty powerful brand. They also

1093
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:50,479
Speaker 1: have access to golf, which Tony Romo values a lot.

1094
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 1: But money talks, ship walks, and if they're gonna offer

1095
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 1: fourteen million, CBS is kind of historically cheap. Doubt they

1096
00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 1: doubt they match, So Tony Romo more than likely going

1097
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:01,839
Speaker 1: to break the bank. It'll be interesting to see who

1098
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 1: he hires. Is his play by play guy? Uh? I mean,

1099
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:07,360
Speaker 1: when you start paying a guy that much, he's gonna

1100
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:10,280
Speaker 1: dictate who he's gonna want to be next to him.

1101
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:13,840
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson had a fantastic season, and you know the

1102
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 1: thing I appreciate much about Lamar in his worst moment

1103
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 1: of the year because he was not good and I

1104
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:20,919
Speaker 1: thought Colin did a good job on Monday breaking it down.

1105
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 1: Just just watch the game. You can give me the

1106
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 1: box score at the end of the game. The hollow

1107
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 1: yards in the second half were on full display when

1108
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:30,439
Speaker 1: the game was in the balance. In the first half,

1109
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 1: he was atrocious turning the ball over. He could have

1110
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: thrown multiple picks. And yeah, his wide receivers drop some balls.

1111
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 1: It's freezing cold, it's hard to catch the ball and

1112
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 1: inclement weather. When they can't run the ball, he can't function.

1113
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing, Like, no quarterback is ever

1114
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 1: gonna win the Super Bowl running around consistently running around

1115
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that win the Super Bowl, google it throw the football,

1116
00:57:57,560 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 1: and he can throw the football, but he just has

1117
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 1: to become more consistent. At He had a fantastic season.

1118
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 1: He earned the m v P. But he's not the

1119
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 1: best quarterback in the league. Mahomes is better, Russell Wilson's better. Uh,

1120
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 1: we'll just use those guys for I was gonna say Brady,

1121
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 1: but Brady didn't play that well. But those two guys

1122
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 1: are like, no one in the NFL, not one human being,

1123
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 1: would take Lamar Jackson over Mahomes if they could choose

1124
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 1: right now, just like if I had to pick for

1125
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 1: the next five years, I'd take Russell Wilson over Lamar Jackson.

1126
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 1: Remember when they shamed Bill Polian for picking Russell Wilson

1127
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:30,440
Speaker 1: first team All Pro? Like, did you watch the two

1128
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:33,440
Speaker 1: guys this weekend? Do they play the same sport as

1129
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:37,000
Speaker 1: a thrower? Just ask yourself that. And I'm not anti

1130
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson because I really respect the way he conducted

1131
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 1: himself in his postgame press conference. He's really mature. He's

1132
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 1: the opposite of kind of what Baker's become. Uh. He

1133
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 1: just he's an impressive guy. He's he's easy to root for,

1134
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 1: he's young. He just needs to keep adapting and he'll

1135
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 1: be okay Seattle. I I've never seen a team quite

1136
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 1: like it. Not much talent, but just heart, toughness, and

1137
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 1: obviously the quarterback is he's one of the most special

1138
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 1: players I've ever seen. He he really is. And I

1139
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 1: don't know when it's all said and done what his

1140
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 1: numbers will look like. But for example, like Drew Brees,

1141
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 1: Drew Brees is like a fringe, borderline top ten quarterback

1142
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:17,760
Speaker 1: of all time. You know, somewhere between like eight to

1143
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 1: twelve when it's all said and done. Would you rather

1144
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 1: have Russell Wilson for ten years in his prime or

1145
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 1: Drew Brees for ten years in his prime? Because I

1146
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 1: take Russell Wilson and I mean they both have a

1147
00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Russell's obviously been to Drew can't make it

1148
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 1: pass like the first round of the playoffs. But Russell

1149
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 1: is just he's a freak man. He is. He's everything

1150
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:44,840
Speaker 1: you want in pro sports. He forces the consumer to watch,

1151
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 1: he makes you feel good about when you pay a

1152
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:51,920
Speaker 1: lot of money to attend a game. It's just he's

1153
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,680
Speaker 1: a special player. He really is, and I just enjoy

1154
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 1: watching him. Kirk Cousins Man, he just he just is

1155
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 1: what he is. He he's a robot. He is very,

1156
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 1: very limited and for the amount of money he got paid,

1157
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 1: he can never live up to it because the reality

1158
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:12,320
Speaker 1: with him, he just doesn't possess the talent like Russell Wilson,

1159
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Mahomes, even Watson. Those guys lamar because there's

1160
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 1: so much more talented. Well, when you get to the playoffs,

1161
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: everyone's talented, right, there's no more shitty teams. You don't

1162
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,600
Speaker 1: see the Bengals anymore. You don't see a discombobulated Browns.

1163
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 1: You just see good teams. Well, you see gonna see

1164
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 1: good the highest level of coaches smart players, because good

1165
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 1: teams don't have dumb players, they have smart players. And

1166
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 1: he just he doesn't have the ability. As someone in

1167
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:42,919
Speaker 1: the league told me, he is a preparation all star,

1168
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,880
Speaker 1: really smart, which I respect. Works his ass off can

1169
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 1: come into a game. But it's like if you prepare

1170
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 1: your ass off for a big meeting or some big

1171
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 1: you know, investment strategy, and then you go meet the client,

1172
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 1: it's usually not gonna go as planned. Sometimes you gotta

1173
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 1: add lib. Sometimes you gotta hang a left when you

1174
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 1: thought you were gonna hang it right, and he's just

1175
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 1: incapable of doing that. And when you're knock is we

1176
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 1: gotta make him throw, we gotta make him be a

1177
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 1: drop back passer. That's a pretty big red flag. When

1178
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 1: you signed an eighty five million dollar contract that was

1179
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:20,640
Speaker 1: fully guaranteed. Say that out loud. If you're the Minnesota

1180
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 1: Vikings and you signed him to that contract and the

1181
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 1: number one game plan around the league when they played

1182
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:28,560
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, let's force him to throw. If you're a

1183
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:29,920
Speaker 1: good team, I mean, if you don't have bad If

1184
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 1: you have bad corners, they have enough talent they can

1185
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:33,960
Speaker 1: get you. But if you've got Richard Sherman covering theland,

1186
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 1: you got problems. And there was a play in that

1187
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 1: game where rich Sherman picked the ball off that Cousins

1188
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 1: just can't see. Richard knows the route you're he's running, Kirk,

1189
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 1: He's standing right there. Can you not see him? Are

1190
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 1: you just so robotic? The running the right coverage? This

1191
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:52,360
Speaker 1: is what I'm gonna do. Rich are smarter than you,

1192
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 1: and unlike you, Richard can adjust on the fly. And

1193
01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:58,800
Speaker 1: he's sitting right Worth Healing is supposed to end his

1194
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 1: route and Kirk Cousins hits him in stride. That to

1195
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 1: me sums up Cousins so far as Minnesota career in

1196
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 1: big games. Okay, let's do a little middlecoff mail bag,

1197
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 1: bang out a couple of questions and uh and get

1198
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:17,040
Speaker 1: you all out of here. Hi, John love the show. Question.

1199
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 1: Who do you think is gonna be the charge the

1200
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 1: next quarterback of the l A Chargers? Well, I think

1201
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 1: I was reading today in an m MQB article that

1202
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 1: you know the Chargers might franchise him, but it's not

1203
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 1: a lock. That'd be Philip Rivers. I don't know. I

1204
01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:35,680
Speaker 1: mean call me. I always lean like, of course you're

1205
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 1: not gonna let the quarterback go. But at thirty eight

1206
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 1: years old the season he had, I'm a Rivers guy,

1207
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 1: but he looked kind of washed that it kind of

1208
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:46,560
Speaker 1: felt like it's just over now. Teams hate just letting

1209
01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 1: a guy go for nothing, But what's what are you

1210
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:52,200
Speaker 1: gonna do if you franchise and trade him. Maybe they're

1211
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:54,600
Speaker 1: nervous if they don't. If they don't franchise him and

1212
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:58,320
Speaker 1: let him walk, he goes like the Raiders. Uh, who

1213
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 1: would the Chargers get a quarterback? I mean they do

1214
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:04,080
Speaker 1: draft high, they could draft Herbert. Uh, they could always

1215
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:07,280
Speaker 1: sign like a bridge like Dalton or something. But then

1216
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:10,080
Speaker 1: you're asking yourself, why don't we just franchise Rivers? But

1217
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 1: do you want to pay Rivers like almost thirty million

1218
01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 1: dollars At this point, I don't really see it, So

1219
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 1: I I would lean like a Dalton type guy in

1220
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 1: draft Herbert huge fan of the show and uh a

1221
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:24,440
Speaker 1: fan of the Colts. Going to the next season, Does

1222
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 1: the front office realize that Jacoby should not be our quarterback.

1223
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 1: Any chance we trade up for two of maybe sign

1224
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 1: Cam Rivers or Brady, Yeah, I think they would be

1225
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:36,160
Speaker 1: in the I think they'd be all over Philip Rivers.

1226
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 1: I think they'll be all over Brady. I think you

1227
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 1: could argue Andy Dalton is a better player than Jacoby,

1228
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 1: at least he was like when he was playing earlier

1229
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:47,640
Speaker 1: in his career. Uh. I don't know if you trade

1230
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 1: up and draft someone, just given that so many teams

1231
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:53,840
Speaker 1: need quarterbacks, so many teams already up there, I don't

1232
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:56,919
Speaker 1: know if that's really an option. So I would say

1233
01:03:56,960 --> 01:04:00,600
Speaker 1: that Jacoby, maybe they bring in a little competition, you know,

1234
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:04,440
Speaker 1: I keep using Andy Dalton Mariota. Uh, maybe trying to

1235
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:07,320
Speaker 1: resurrect his career. Maybe trade for like a Nick Foles,

1236
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 1: do something like that. You know, your options are pretty limited.

1237
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 1: People keep asking about these quarterbacks. Let's just let's just

1238
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 1: list them right now, just off the top of my head.

1239
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:18,480
Speaker 1: We got Brady, who is a free agent. We got

1240
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 1: Rivers who's a free agent who looks like they might

1241
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 1: not tag him or breeze free agent, but he'll never

1242
01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:28,640
Speaker 1: leave Foles that flip got fired, So they could have

1243
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:31,560
Speaker 1: a new offensive coordinator could be on the move Dalton,

1244
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:34,200
Speaker 1: He'll be on the move because Burrow will be there.

1245
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:37,160
Speaker 1: Cam potentially, I don't know. I have no clue what

1246
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:39,880
Speaker 1: Matt Rule thinks of Cam. If I had to guess

1247
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: right now, Matt Rule probably just goes one year with Cam,

1248
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:45,400
Speaker 1: just sees how it sees how it goes. Remember Chip

1249
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:47,360
Speaker 1: Kelly when he got to Philly, he kept Michael Vick.

1250
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 1: So not that obviously Cam's career in Carolina is better

1251
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:52,880
Speaker 1: than Vix and Philly. It was just kind of the

1252
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:55,480
Speaker 1: one year. But you get what I'm saying, like, you

1253
01:04:55,560 --> 01:05:01,160
Speaker 1: just need a quarterback, and I'm trying to think, Areota

1254
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 1: It's not as many guys you think, you know, it's not.

1255
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 1: There's not seven Joe Montana's out there, so you just

1256
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 1: kind of is what it is. I mean, Jacoby at it.

1257
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 1: It's just a good backup. That's just kind of what

1258
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:14,040
Speaker 1: he is. But you're kind of stuck with him. Everybody

1259
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 1: talked about Jason Garrett's contract expiring on January fourteenth, if

1260
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 1: the Cowboys had made the NFC Title Game or the

1261
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:22,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, with his contract of automatically extended until their

1262
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:24,680
Speaker 1: season ended, or with the Cowboys and Garrett have had

1263
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 1: to sign an amendment to manually extend its contract. Yeah.

1264
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:30,440
Speaker 1: I think you see a lot of guys in in

1265
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 1: a lot of assistance. You know, their contracts and that

1266
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:36,800
Speaker 1: kind of date. You know, first or second week of

1267
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:38,880
Speaker 1: the season, and if you make it the super Bowl,

1268
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 1: you just it just rolls over, not like another year,

1269
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:43,720
Speaker 1: but you just get paid. Like if you're making a

1270
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 1: million dollars, must be nice. Whatever that direct depositive is.

1271
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 1: I think you just get it like for the other week.

1272
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:52,440
Speaker 1: That's a pretty good question. I'd have to ask someone

1273
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 1: in the league that deals with that. But yeah, I

1274
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:56,120
Speaker 1: don't think you have to, like, you don't need to

1275
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 1: resign anything. You just kind of work on no contract

1276
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 1: at that rate, which luckily if you're in an NFL coach.

1277
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:04,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Jason, what was Jason Garrett making like seven

1278
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:09,280
Speaker 1: million dollars? So he probably could have made it two

1279
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:11,880
Speaker 1: weeks even if they didn't pay him, he would have

1280
01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:15,480
Speaker 1: been Okay. Uh, here's my question. I'm a Rutgers fan.

1281
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:19,400
Speaker 1: What do you think of Greg Siano. I've never really

1282
01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:23,000
Speaker 1: been a fan, but I do think he's perfectly suited

1283
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:27,080
Speaker 1: for Rutgers. My first year at Fresno State in two

1284
01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:29,840
Speaker 1: thousand eight. I was a g A. We played Rutgers

1285
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:33,800
Speaker 1: and he had the mccordy brothers he had. I think

1286
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:35,680
Speaker 1: ray Rice was already in the league. He had a

1287
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:39,080
Speaker 1: couple other NFL guys Kenny Britt maybe on that team.

1288
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:43,240
Speaker 1: And uh, he's just perfectly suited for that. He really is.

1289
01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 1: I I was against when Tennessee and the fans revolted.

1290
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:49,160
Speaker 1: I always thought they were right. He didn't belong in

1291
01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:52,320
Speaker 1: the South. He belongs to the Northeast. That's just kind

1292
01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 1: of his in college football. Unless you're an elite coach,

1293
01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:58,800
Speaker 1: which he's not, like an Urban Meyer or even Nick

1294
01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:04,360
Speaker 1: Saban know, Chris Peterson. You can coach anywhere, but most guys,

1295
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:07,720
Speaker 1: the majority of guys, need to coach. And like Dabbo

1296
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 1: Eddio the South, Jimbo the South, Jim Harbaugh would not

1297
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:14,440
Speaker 1: do well in the South. Jim Harbor is a West

1298
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 1: Northeast guy. Right, Urban Meyers an outlier. You can put

1299
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 1: Urban Florida, you can put him at USC you can

1300
01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:22,600
Speaker 1: put Ohio State, put him at Washington. He's gonna kick

1301
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:25,240
Speaker 1: everyone's ass. For as much ship as I talked about Meyer,

1302
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:28,080
Speaker 1: I think he's a great coach, and he transcends wherever

1303
01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:32,800
Speaker 1: he goes. Nick Nick probably even more than Urban probably

1304
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:34,920
Speaker 1: does just belong in the South. And you look at

1305
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:36,920
Speaker 1: the jobs. I know he was at Michigan State and

1306
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 1: he said a good coach. He would work anywhere too,

1307
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:43,000
Speaker 1: But he's really suited for the South, like Urban probably

1308
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 1: is perfectly suited for Ohio State or even USC because

1309
01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:53,160
Speaker 1: I do think regions matter when in college in the pros.

1310
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:56,120
Speaker 1: It doesn't like Matt Rule. He could have coached the Panthers.

1311
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:59,080
Speaker 1: You gonna coach the Chargers, You canna coach the you know,

1312
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks. It wouldn't matter. Like Pete Carroll. Look

1313
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:06,520
Speaker 1: look where he's really done damage USC in Seattle, like

1314
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:09,400
Speaker 1: the West Coast culture kind of fits him. My question

1315
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:11,439
Speaker 1: is Alex Smith coming back? And if he does, should

1316
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:14,440
Speaker 1: the Redskins start him over Haskins? Well, if Alex Smith

1317
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:16,080
Speaker 1: is healthy, which is a big if. I mean his

1318
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:19,800
Speaker 1: leg basically almost fell off. And that video I don't

1319
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 1: know if you saw it, but it went viral like

1320
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:24,720
Speaker 1: a month ago of his wife. It's like pretty touching him.

1321
01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:26,960
Speaker 1: It was hard not to like get teary eyed that

1322
01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:29,840
Speaker 1: like him rehabbing of that leg, But it looks like

1323
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 1: he's like trying. I mean, I don't know, he don't

1324
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:33,400
Speaker 1: have to get clear to play. If he can get

1325
01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:35,519
Speaker 1: clear to play and he's a percent, yeah, I mean

1326
01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:38,120
Speaker 1: he's a better He's a better player than Haskins. Now,

1327
01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:40,880
Speaker 1: he missed this entire year. He missed the majority of

1328
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:43,559
Speaker 1: last year, so he's missed a lot of time. Why

1329
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:46,080
Speaker 1: do you think Pete Carroll is has never won Coach

1330
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 1: of the Year John Schneider GM of the Year with

1331
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:53,560
Speaker 1: both of their recent success, can't even talk love the show? Uh,

1332
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:55,519
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a good question. I mean, Pete,

1333
01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:58,040
Speaker 1: I'd have to look back on those the years when

1334
01:08:58,080 --> 01:08:59,880
Speaker 1: he made runs of the Super Bowl, Like who wanted

1335
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:04,320
Speaker 1: a year Belichick? Probably not. I don't know. You know,

1336
01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:06,320
Speaker 1: it's just I think Coach of the Year is a

1337
01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:10,759
Speaker 1: pretty pretty hollow award. I don't even really think who cares?

1338
01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:13,439
Speaker 1: You know, Pete Carroll's kicking everyone's ass every year, He's

1339
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:15,360
Speaker 1: going to the playoffs, every year he won a Super Bowl,

1340
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:18,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, I wouldn't put much into that. I'm a

1341
01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:20,000
Speaker 1: big fan of the podcast all the way in Brazil.

1342
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:23,080
Speaker 1: That's cool. I really enjoy listening to around you and Colin.

1343
01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:24,920
Speaker 1: I was doing a little research and I'd like to

1344
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:26,599
Speaker 1: ask you a question. It's pretty clear that the Broncos

1345
01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 1: will cut Flacco this offseason, at least they should, right, Yes,

1346
01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:36,320
Speaker 1: what were they thinking? I really don't know me either. Uh?

1347
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:39,160
Speaker 1: If they do, he will be responsible for dead cat

1348
01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:41,240
Speaker 1: money on back to back years and different teams, a

1349
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:43,720
Speaker 1: total of almost thirty million dollars. That's got to be

1350
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:48,720
Speaker 1: some kind of record. Uh. Is there any way to

1351
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:52,000
Speaker 1: finding that out? Keep in mind it's the same contract,

1352
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:54,760
Speaker 1: Denver just made some cap adjustments. That's a hell of

1353
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:57,920
Speaker 1: a question. Uh. Yeah, I could probably text some people.

1354
01:09:57,960 --> 01:09:59,360
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if you can like run

1355
01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:03,360
Speaker 1: queries on that. I'm sure NFL people can't. Odell Beckham

1356
01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 1: cost I guess you know he's gonna be on the

1357
01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:07,840
Speaker 1: Browns this year, so it won't really matter. But he

1358
01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 1: cost the Giants last year like twenty million dollars on

1359
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:13,040
Speaker 1: dead cap, so that every year guys cost money on

1360
01:10:13,120 --> 01:10:15,920
Speaker 1: dead cap. I think Dez Bryant and Tony Romo this

1361
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:19,600
Speaker 1: year cost money for the Cowboys dead cap. I'm like

1362
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:25,240
Speaker 1: positive that Tony Romo and des Bryant because moving signing

1363
01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:28,479
Speaker 1: bonus money back is just kicking the can down the road.

1364
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:31,559
Speaker 1: It's like a credit card. Eventually that credit card payment

1365
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 1: is due, whether it's due now, whether it's doing six months,

1366
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:37,800
Speaker 1: whether it's doing five years, you have to pay the money,

1367
01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:39,920
Speaker 1: you know. And Jerry Jones was king of that. He

1368
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:43,120
Speaker 1: pushed all their money back, money back, money back, and

1369
01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:45,679
Speaker 1: Flacco a little bit like that because he signed those

1370
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:49,439
Speaker 1: enormous contracts and it was that's why the Ravens were

1371
01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:52,080
Speaker 1: always letting sweet free agents walk because they had so

1372
01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:56,120
Speaker 1: much money on Flacco. You're right stuck to your guns.

1373
01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:58,280
Speaker 1: I took the Titans. Love it. It's Lamar versus the

1374
01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:00,880
Speaker 1: Chargers Part two. But you can claim real credit sports,

1375
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:06,080
Speaker 1: right yeah. I mean it's just Lamar struggle in the playoffs. No,

1376
01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:09,040
Speaker 1: there's just no way around it. He just the playoffs

1377
01:11:09,040 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 1: has thrown him off. I was wondering if you would

1378
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:14,280
Speaker 1: like to do an interview on a podcast like co

1379
01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:17,240
Speaker 1: host called The Two Point Conversion. This is a political

1380
01:11:17,280 --> 01:11:20,120
Speaker 1: free podcast where we just talk about football. Please let

1381
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:21,880
Speaker 1: me know my phone number is. I'm not gonna your

1382
01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:24,920
Speaker 1: phone number out loud, Okay, I'll I'll shoot you at

1383
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:28,360
Speaker 1: d M. Maybe I could get on that podcast. I do.

1384
01:11:28,439 --> 01:11:31,400
Speaker 1: I do other random podcasts here and there. Lamar Jackson

1385
01:11:31,400 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 1: played well year, but most of the time he had

1386
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:35,200
Speaker 1: an early lead. Against the Titans, they were behind and

1387
01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:39,120
Speaker 1: struggled amount a comeback. It's apparent that quickly became frustrated

1388
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:41,679
Speaker 1: and then self imploded and he met adversity during the game.

1389
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:44,519
Speaker 1: Do you think it's immaturity played a role in his

1390
01:11:44,600 --> 01:11:49,559
Speaker 1: poor performance? I think when you, I'm gonna say, would

1391
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 1: you use the word immaturity, you're using as a player

1392
01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:54,880
Speaker 1: because he actually really mature guy. Uh. Just the way

1393
01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:57,479
Speaker 1: he handles himself. I mean he like relative to Baker,

1394
01:11:57,520 --> 01:12:00,840
Speaker 1: it's not even close. Yeah. I just think difficult for

1395
01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:03,080
Speaker 1: them the way their offense. Bill I tweeted this during

1396
01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 1: the game. The Bills and the Ravens have inaccurate quarterbacks.

1397
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:11,680
Speaker 1: I mean Lamar can be accurate, but in rhythm like

1398
01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:14,760
Speaker 1: he's hit or miss. Josh is much more inaccurate, and

1399
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:17,759
Speaker 1: they surround him by a bunch of midget wide receivers. Now,

1400
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:20,240
Speaker 1: the Ravens, in fairness, have a couple of tight ends.

1401
01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:23,640
Speaker 1: They got Andrews, they got the redhead Hayden Hurst so

1402
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:26,840
Speaker 1: they got some big bodies. But like Marcus Brown, Hollywood Brown,

1403
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:31,040
Speaker 1: who's awesome, can fly, he's tiny. Like, you know what

1404
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 1: you need, Like I'm watching the National Championship game. You

1405
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:38,920
Speaker 1: need to get Lamar and Josh Allen, some of these dudes, Higgins, Jefferson,

1406
01:12:39,680 --> 01:12:44,439
Speaker 1: Uh Chase, get them some dudes with huge catching radius.

1407
01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:47,320
Speaker 1: Is it's hard. It's one thing when you're Peyton Manning

1408
01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:49,760
Speaker 1: or Drew Brees and you can close your eyes and

1409
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 1: hit a guy in the in the in the hands.

1410
01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:55,679
Speaker 1: It's another thing when you're not that accurate and throw

1411
01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:58,760
Speaker 1: into a bunch of little, tiny guys like you need

1412
01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:00,640
Speaker 1: some size for these guys. A huge fan of the

1413
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:02,840
Speaker 1: Pod can't believe the Texans first Chiefs game right now?

1414
01:13:03,240 --> 01:13:05,840
Speaker 1: What is your my bookie promo? Coding Ham and the

1415
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:15,920
Speaker 1: number one? It was a crazy game. Okay, mail back,

1416
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:19,240
Speaker 1: good day from Showing Australia. As a Texas fan watching

1417
01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:21,240
Speaker 1: this implosion today, would love to get your thoughts on

1418
01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:23,479
Speaker 1: whether Bill O'Brien stays at the head coach. In my opinion,

1419
01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:25,439
Speaker 1: we definitely need a GM and potentially no CE in

1420
01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:28,519
Speaker 1: the off season. Easy to say, but who would you hire? Well,

1421
01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:31,240
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien said today that they're not gonna hire a

1422
01:13:31,240 --> 01:13:34,479
Speaker 1: general manager and he I mean, he's gonna keep calling

1423
01:13:34,479 --> 01:13:37,920
Speaker 1: the plays. So I feel for you, man, I just

1424
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. He just struggles. He needs some help.

1425
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:47,760
Speaker 1: He needs people in his life to tell him like, no,

1426
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:50,200
Speaker 1: this is not a good idea, or no, don't do this,

1427
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:52,960
Speaker 1: and he clearly doesn't have any of those. Odds. Andy

1428
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:54,960
Speaker 1: retires after this year if he finally gets a ring.

1429
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:57,360
Speaker 1: Had an argument with someone the other day about this topic.

1430
01:13:57,400 --> 01:14:00,639
Speaker 1: Would love to hear your thoughts. I think there would

1431
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:05,479
Speaker 1: be zero and I repeat absolutely zero chance. I'd say

1432
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:08,920
Speaker 1: the number one reason he wouldn't retire is he loves football,

1433
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:13,880
Speaker 1: absolutely loves football like it's inside his wife and kids

1434
01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:19,080
Speaker 1: is his life too. To words Patrick Mahomes three, he

1435
01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:22,000
Speaker 1: makes a lot of money. I mean we're a lot

1436
01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:24,880
Speaker 1: of money. So when you factor in you love what

1437
01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:28,320
Speaker 1: you do, you get paid a boatload of cash. You

1438
01:14:28,439 --> 01:14:31,320
Speaker 1: got a sweet job. I mean he's got the Chiefs

1439
01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:32,920
Speaker 1: is a great job. Clark. I don't even think Clark

1440
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:35,960
Speaker 1: Hunt lives in Kansas City. He lives in Dallas. And

1441
01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 1: then you have I don't know, the greatest quarterback prospect

1442
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:43,080
Speaker 1: just in terms of like cool to watch, Like Andrew

1443
01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:44,920
Speaker 1: Locke was really good, but he wasn't always that fun

1444
01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:48,840
Speaker 1: to watch like since far. So I know, I say

1445
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:53,320
Speaker 1: the chances at zero, like legitimately zero that he retires.

1446
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:57,519
Speaker 1: I know you think the Colt's best chance to grab

1447
01:14:57,520 --> 01:14:59,679
Speaker 1: a quarterback is in the free agent market. How crazy

1448
01:14:59,800 --> 01:15:02,559
Speaker 1: is it that we think we could or should trade

1449
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:05,400
Speaker 1: for car or Stafford and if we did get one

1450
01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:08,160
Speaker 1: of these quarterbacks, Brady Rivers, do you think it would

1451
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:11,320
Speaker 1: be smart to still draft a quarterback like from or Hurts. Well,

1452
01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:13,919
Speaker 1: I wouldn't draft Hurts. If you could trade for Stafford,

1453
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:16,920
Speaker 1: I would do that if I if I was the

1454
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:18,840
Speaker 1: Colts and I could trade for Matt Stafford, I would

1455
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:22,599
Speaker 1: do that. If I could trade for Car cars probably

1456
01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:26,400
Speaker 1: better than Jacoby. Uh, but he makes a lot of money,

1457
01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:28,559
Speaker 1: so you'd have cars, same with Stafford. So you, I

1458
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:30,240
Speaker 1: don't know what, Like, that's a lot of money to

1459
01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:33,519
Speaker 1: be paying two quarterbacks. It's kind of a it's kind

1460
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:37,200
Speaker 1: of a tough situation, it really is. I I don't

1461
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:39,559
Speaker 1: know if there's a good answer. It's just, you know,

1462
01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:41,240
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, it's kind of the shitty

1463
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:44,240
Speaker 1: part in being in the quarterback purgatory mode. You're just

1464
01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:46,120
Speaker 1: always like, what should we do? Should we sign a

1465
01:15:46,160 --> 01:15:49,360
Speaker 1: free agent quarterback Tom Brady? Like Tom Brady sounds great

1466
01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:51,960
Speaker 1: in theory, and he's still a good player, but he

1467
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:54,120
Speaker 1: has forty three year old Tom Brady. You're not getting

1468
01:15:54,120 --> 01:15:56,320
Speaker 1: like thirty three year old in his prime Tom Brady. Well,

1469
01:15:56,320 --> 01:15:58,560
Speaker 1: how about Philip Rivers? You mean the guy that was

1470
01:15:58,600 --> 01:16:01,200
Speaker 1: thirty eight and kind of look washed this year? You know,

1471
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:03,280
Speaker 1: the best option would be Drew Brees. And I've had

1472
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:05,080
Speaker 1: some people d M and me. Why wouldn't Drew Breeses

1473
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:07,200
Speaker 1: go to the Colts? Like why why would need to

1474
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:09,600
Speaker 1: stay with the Saints if they want to back that

1475
01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:12,840
Speaker 1: team's better and he already knows the coach and they're

1476
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:15,839
Speaker 1: already on the same page, Like what would be the difference?

1477
01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:18,960
Speaker 1: Now you could argue the NFC, the road might be harder.

1478
01:16:19,439 --> 01:16:21,920
Speaker 1: Like this, Let's just look next year. Who's gonna be

1479
01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:24,160
Speaker 1: good in the a f C. The Chiefs more than

1480
01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:26,320
Speaker 1: likely they're gonna be defending champs. They're gonna be sweet.

1481
01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:29,080
Speaker 1: The Titans. But look at the Titans, like they got

1482
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:31,160
Speaker 1: a couple of question marks. Tanney Hill and Derrick Henry

1483
01:16:31,200 --> 01:16:34,800
Speaker 1: are free agents. Now you can franchise and transition tag both.

1484
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:37,760
Speaker 1: The Texans are still gonna be around, Patriots will be back,

1485
01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:42,519
Speaker 1: Colts will be sneaky. You know, there's not The Ravens

1486
01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:46,439
Speaker 1: obviously will be good. The a f C kind of sucks.

1487
01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:48,639
Speaker 1: Look at the NFC. I mean, the Chiefs are really good,

1488
01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:50,719
Speaker 1: but look at the NFC. You gotta have the forty.

1489
01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:53,479
Speaker 1: Niners are gonna be really good again. The Rams are solid.

1490
01:16:53,800 --> 01:16:57,519
Speaker 1: Seattle Seattle. The Packers are all coming back. You know.

1491
01:16:57,560 --> 01:17:00,000
Speaker 1: If if the Bears somehow can get a quarterback, they'll

1492
01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:04,439
Speaker 1: be decent. Uh. The who am I missing? The Vikings

1493
01:17:04,479 --> 01:17:06,800
Speaker 1: will be a ten eleven, you know nine somewhere in

1494
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:10,960
Speaker 1: their win team. The Eagles will improve, They'll they'll be better. Uh.

1495
01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:15,320
Speaker 1: The Cowboys could be dramatically better with Mike McCarthy, you know.

1496
01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:18,840
Speaker 1: So it's just the The Falcons, in theory shouldn't start

1497
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:22,120
Speaker 1: so freaking slow. The Redskins could be more competitive, they

1498
01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:25,439
Speaker 1: got a real coach. So it's just I think the

1499
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:28,439
Speaker 1: NFC stacked it really held. The Cardinals, who are one

1500
01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:30,400
Speaker 1: of the worst teams in the NFC, are like sneaky,

1501
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:33,200
Speaker 1: not bad, but Tampa Bay was Tampa Bay's record like

1502
01:17:33,240 --> 01:17:36,679
Speaker 1: seven and nine with Jamis through thirty two picks. Imagine

1503
01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:39,559
Speaker 1: if Jamis just throws eight team picks, it might be

1504
01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:42,479
Speaker 1: ten wins. I'm a Giants fan. Should I be worried

1505
01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:45,760
Speaker 1: about the Joe Judge after he hired Patrick Graham? When

1506
01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:48,559
Speaker 1: I saw like rap sheet or schefter or whoever tweeted

1507
01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:52,479
Speaker 1: that Patrick Graham's their new defensive coordinator, my response was,

1508
01:17:52,520 --> 01:17:55,040
Speaker 1: who I mean? I know a decent amount of coaches,

1509
01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:57,439
Speaker 1: but there's now a new kind of cycle of guys

1510
01:17:57,560 --> 01:18:00,640
Speaker 1: in their mid to early thirties that I never heard of.

1511
01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:04,120
Speaker 1: Because these guys are and like you, I'm no different

1512
01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:07,080
Speaker 1: than you guys in the sense of if you're some

1513
01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:09,320
Speaker 1: thirty one year old coach has been a position coach

1514
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:11,360
Speaker 1: for one year, I'm not gonna really know who you are,

1515
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:14,840
Speaker 1: especially if you're not coming from a big time college program.

1516
01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:18,879
Speaker 1: These guys are shooting fast up the ranks so quickly. Uh,

1517
01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:21,719
Speaker 1: what's his name? Sean McVeigh just got rid of Wade

1518
01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:23,880
Speaker 1: Phillips for a guy that's been in the NFL for

1519
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:27,240
Speaker 1: three years as a position coach for Fangio. Now, if

1520
01:18:27,280 --> 01:18:29,760
Speaker 1: I'm getting Vic Fangio Jr. I'm feeling pretty good. But

1521
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:31,360
Speaker 1: this guy has been in the in the NFL for

1522
01:18:31,479 --> 01:18:34,200
Speaker 1: three years and you're that's who you're placing Wade Phillips.

1523
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:38,920
Speaker 1: That's that's a pretty bold move. They're cotton. What do

1524
01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:40,360
Speaker 1: you think of the Packers need to do to beat

1525
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:42,880
Speaker 1: the Niners. I think they need to get the Niners

1526
01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:44,960
Speaker 1: to turn the ball over. They're gonna need to probably

1527
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:48,719
Speaker 1: force multiple interceptions with Jimmy and probably create a fumble.

1528
01:18:49,240 --> 01:18:51,479
Speaker 1: So I would say the turnover they gotta win at

1529
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:53,840
Speaker 1: like two or three days zero, you know, and if

1530
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:56,320
Speaker 1: they turned the ball over once that number, there still

1531
01:18:56,320 --> 01:18:59,800
Speaker 1: has to be two to three buffer. So it's I

1532
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:01,920
Speaker 1: think the only chance the Packers have to win the

1533
01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:06,200
Speaker 1: game is to turn them over and the Niners, you know,

1534
01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:08,439
Speaker 1: if they don't let Jimmy loose because they're running the ball.

1535
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:12,479
Speaker 1: He's throwing a lot of high hypercentage completions, you know,

1536
01:19:12,760 --> 01:19:15,120
Speaker 1: So it's just you know, he threw a pick, but

1537
01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 1: he can get rattled when he faces really good defensive

1538
01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:19,800
Speaker 1: coordinators and you throw off his you know, you throw

1539
01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:22,000
Speaker 1: off the coverages. I mean, he just didn't see Eric

1540
01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:23,680
Speaker 1: Kendricks who's just a really good player. I think he

1541
01:19:23,720 --> 01:19:25,120
Speaker 1: thought to get it over him. It was it was

1542
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:28,479
Speaker 1: a good play by Kendricks, but like, is Blake Martinez

1543
01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:30,680
Speaker 1: gonna make that play? Now your dbs can pick the

1544
01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:34,280
Speaker 1: ball off. Uh, you know, the Niners are pretty well

1545
01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:38,040
Speaker 1: equipped to just neutralize the front. It's hard. I mean,

1546
01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:40,200
Speaker 1: the Packers just aren't as good as the Niners. Now

1547
01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:43,920
Speaker 1: Rogers is a stud, but you know he's got one

1548
01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:46,320
Speaker 1: sweet wide receiver, so he's at somewhat of a of

1549
01:19:46,360 --> 01:19:51,920
Speaker 1: a disadvantage. Appreciate everyone listening. Uh, enjoy the week, and uh,

1550
01:19:51,960 --> 01:19:53,200
Speaker 1: I'll talk to you a little later. Po
