1 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:18,279 Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on? John Middlecock Three and 2 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: Out podcast, Beautiful Sunday Night. Just actually the game so 3 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: going on. I just came to the office and press 4 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: record because I can't watch the Cowboys win to three. 5 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: You know what a absolute beatdown. We'll dive into that 6 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 1: game a bunch of other games. Josh Allen, Kansas City. 7 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,840 Speaker 1: The Colts are humming Baker Mayfield status. A lot going 8 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 1: on this weekend in the NFL. Obviously, Merry Christmas, Happy 9 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: New Year. Right around the corner of great time of year, 10 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: little chilly, little rainy where I am. But you know, 11 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: we're right around the corner from playoff college football. The 12 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: NFL playoffs are now three weeks away, starting to take 13 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: shape in the kind of the playoff. You know, we 14 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: we know basically who's gonna win the divisions in the 15 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: UH in the NFC, right, I mean, the Rams haven't 16 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: officially wanted it's over, Arizona's done so, the Cowboys have 17 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: won it, Tampa's won it, and obviously Green Bay. So 18 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: the the NFC is very very good at the top. 19 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy, I was thinking about this, and I've thought 20 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: about it forever. You know, it's like if you just 21 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: met some random dude, he's like, yeah, I played big leagues. 22 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: You'd be like, who'd you play for? He'd be like, 23 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: I played for the Yankees and the Dodgers. You know, 24 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: it's like or you know, it's like you meet some 25 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: dude that played international soccer, They're like, yeah, I played 26 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: for Barcelona and Man City. You know he coached, Like 27 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: his two NFL jobs are the Green Bay Packers and 28 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. It doesn't get much better than that. 29 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: And we've talked, we me, we but you probably too. 30 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: We've taken a lot of shots at Mike McCarthy. What's 31 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: he actually doing? He's not calling the plays. You gotta 32 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: give him his flowers. This season, they won the division easily. 33 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: They've been really good team, right they have. I mean, 34 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: they're potentially gonna be the number two seed in the NFC. 35 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: They're gonna host back to back playoff games potentially obviously 36 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: gotta win in the first round. But here's what I know. 37 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: If they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Historically, what has 38 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 1: given Tom Brady trouble in the playoffs? A pass rusher 39 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: teams that could get after him. What does the Dallas 40 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: Cowboys have pass rushers all over the place. They have 41 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 1: one of the most unique rookies we've ever seen. There 42 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: is no stopping this kid. He's coming from the middle 43 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: linebacker spot. He putting him over guards. He's playing like 44 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: a defensive end. He's a stand up outside linebacker. I 45 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: don't even know what you would say his position is. 46 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: I just know that he sacks the quarterback every game 47 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: and he's all over the place all the time. Michael 48 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: Parsons is a dominant player. And then Gregory and Lawrence, 49 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: like that's going to translate against Tom Brady and Aaron 50 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: Rodgers and Matt Stafford. Like they have a legitimate chance 51 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: to win the NFC because they do two things really 52 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: really well. They obviously, like I said, rush the passer 53 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,239 Speaker 1: and then their offense. They can score points when they're 54 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: on and if they get games inside that dome multiple 55 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: times and really just have to take their one shot, 56 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: you know, outside in Lambeau in the NFC championship game, 57 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: I think they have as good a chance as any. 58 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: Now it's gonna come down obviously Dak. I mean, the 59 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 1: football team pretty gutless effort, and Dak hadn't been playing well, 60 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: but I know this, like obviously Rogers and Brady or 61 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: you know, Brady's the greatest quarterback of all time. Roger's 62 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: gonna go down. It's one of top five quarterback of 63 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: all time. But Matt Stafford, the Rams are gonna win 64 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: the NFC West. Sorry, Arizona, Uh say hello to the 65 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: wild card and being one and done in the playoffs. 66 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: But I know this about the Cowboys and the Rams. 67 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: I trust Dakota Prescott way more than I do Matt Stafford. 68 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: Mats Stafford is a bigger arm. He's more talented or whatever. 69 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: Dad ain't gonna have the three or four pick game. 70 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: Mats Stafford. He sawday against the Minnesota Vikings. Those picks 71 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: left and right. The Dallas Cowboys have a legitimate chance 72 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: to win the NFC. We make fun of Mark McCarthy. 73 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: We may just make fun of Jerry Jones the last 74 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: several years. This team is really really talented their high end. 75 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: I mean they have five wide receivers. Three of them 76 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: are legit. Like you saw Zeke tonight, Like when he's healthy, 77 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: you would you want to tackle that guy that translates 78 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: to a snowy game in Lambeau. Give it to one 79 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: see if Green Bay wants to tackle him, you know, 80 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: over and over. Now, one major difference I think the 81 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 1: Green Bay team and this Cowboy team, some of McCarthy's 82 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: teams that have flamed out in the playoffs in the 83 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: two thousand tens was those teams were soft. Now, the 84 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: Cowboys obviously are a passing team, but their offensive line 85 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: is really good, their defensive lines very good, and they're 86 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 1: a physical football team. Like Ceedee Lamb is a physical 87 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: football player. You know, a Maris can break tack like 88 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: he's a physical football player. They have a physical football 89 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: that like that translates to winning big games. Now, I'm 90 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: not gonna pick the Cowboys to win the NFC. I'm 91 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: going to pick the Packers because they're gonna have home 92 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: field advantage. But it's crazy to say this. I might 93 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: like the Cowboys a little bit more in the Bucks, 94 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: especially not knowing a Buck's injury situation, because the way 95 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: you get after Tim is the pass rush. And this team, 96 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: if they get him in the second round and Jerry's 97 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: Palace is hosting Tampa Bay, like, I'll give the Cowboys 98 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: a pretty good shot to win that game because it's 99 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: hard to block three guys, right, Brady's had some really 100 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: good offensive lines, but sometimes they ran into some teams 101 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: that have It's one thing if you just have one 102 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: pass rusher, right, I can just double team or just 103 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: build my protection around the guy. When you have three 104 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: guys and Parsons, you have no clue where he's coming from. 105 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: Every down, it's very, very hard to block those guys. 106 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,119 Speaker 1: You gotta give the Cowboys credit for I never thought 107 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: this would work, but getting rid of Mike Nolan, who 108 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: we all knew was gonna fail, but to go to 109 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: dan Quinn, Who's dan Quinn's defenses in Atlanta were terrible. Now, 110 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: I I root for bald people, so I was rooting 111 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: for dan Quinn. He has been excellent like that defense 112 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: has been fantastic the majority of the season, and I 113 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: gave him a lot of credit for Michael Parsons and 114 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: part of sucking last year, which they really sucked. I 115 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: mean they were bad. Now I've see Dak shattered his 116 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: ankle lead them to Michael Parsons, which is a franchise 117 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: changing draft pick. Right, So it's just when you hit 118 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: on draft picks sometimes, like one part of sucking is 119 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 1: then if you miss on the draft pick and it 120 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: doesn't impact you. You're still bitter the following year. Like 121 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: the Cowboys have forgotten about two because everyone is just 122 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: buying number eleven jerseys and Dak they don't need that. 123 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: But they needed to play pretty well and he clearly 124 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: has the talent and the ability in him. And I 125 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 1: think this week is a big week plan Arizona. You 126 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 1: put the nail in their coffin. You make them be 127 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: a wild card and uh, you take your chances with 128 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: you'd probably as a two seed, you know, potentially play 129 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: the Eagles in the first round, you know, which isn't 130 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: out of the round possibility that you know, if the 131 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: Eagles get that seven seed, I think they play the 132 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: Eagles week seventeens or week eighteen, So you'd be like 133 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 1: back to back games against the Eagles. Who I you know, 134 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys are just gonna be are just 135 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 1: a better team. Man now they blew them out earlier 136 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: in this eason to probably be a little more difficult, 137 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: you know, the third time you would play them and 138 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,559 Speaker 1: will see how it looks, uh in Philadelphia that final 139 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: game of the season. But you got even the Cowboys credit, man, 140 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: they have they have bounced back in a big, big 141 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: way this season when I most people did not think 142 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: they were gonna be this good. Well, let's face him, 143 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: I know I didn't. Uh. I thought they wouldn't be 144 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: as bad as last year, But I didn't expect a 145 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: twelve and five season. McCarthy. Man, he's he's He's done 146 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: some waiting for a guy that takes a lot of ship. 147 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: We talked about being like the middle of the road coach. 148 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: Now I know he coach Rogers for a long period 149 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: of time, and you know, look at the floor. He 150 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: doesn't even get that much credit. Now Roger gets all 151 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: the credit. McCarthy. Just a lot of division championships under 152 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: his belt. Man, Okay, let's dive into the rematch in 153 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: Foxboro Bills Patriots. This game, I left my mom's house 154 00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: really early in the morning. Um had a long, long Christmas, 155 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: but I wanted to make sure I was on the 156 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: couch in my sweats, locked and loaded to watch this 157 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: bad boy. And it was awesome. And for me, if 158 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: I had to give an m v P of the day, 159 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: hell of the weekend, it would be to Josh Allen. 160 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: Because let's let's rewind for a second that game. A 161 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago in Buffalo, felt like it was 162 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:27,679 Speaker 1: a symbolic moment, right one of the biggest games in years, 163 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: in a couple of decades at that stadium. Obviously, the 164 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: Bills just haven't been that good, so they haven't played 165 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: that many big games last couple of years. They've become 166 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: a playoff team. Last year there were no fans despite 167 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 1: them having an awesome season. Right now it's happening again. 168 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: It looks like the Bills are poised, you know, to 169 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: kind of meet the Chiefs, you know, maybe for a 170 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: rematch in the a f C championship game. And that 171 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: game was a force of wills and it was a 172 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: force of the Patriots will shoving them around. It was 173 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: an embarrassing moment. I know, the players uh hide and 174 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: uh and Ployer got mad with the media member about 175 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: the word embarrassing, but it was, you know, I understand 176 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: defensively they only allowed fourteen points, but we all witnessed 177 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: it like that was an awful loss. And sometimes you 178 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: have a moment like that, it's hard to recover. And 179 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 1: then the following week they gotta play Tampa and they 180 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: kind of no show early on, but they battle back, 181 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: but they still lose the game. Let's face it. Their 182 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: season felt like it was Teeter Totterick. I didn't have 183 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: much faith if I I didn't bet on this game, 184 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: but if I had one dent, I was actually thinking 185 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: about betting on the Bills, just because I felt everyone 186 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: was gonna take the Patriots. But I didn't really believe 187 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: in the Bills. Josh Allen was brilliant today. He was incredible. 188 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: He was the m v P I thought of any 189 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 1: player I watched today. Burrow was pretty good too, but 190 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: but Josh Allen. Given the opponent, Belichick, that defense, he 191 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 1: threw three touchdowns. He did it all throws inside the pocket, 192 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 1: throws outside the pocket. He made several plays today like 193 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: flipping the ball, this underhand stuff. It was just kind 194 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: of ad libbing. It was incredible running the ball. I 195 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: think he ran for sixty five yards on the ground, 196 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: a couple of huge first downs. He was the best 197 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: player on the field today and I don't even think 198 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: there was a close second. And I felt it shows you, right, 199 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: you know. Part of the best part about football and 200 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: talking about football and working in football and playing in 201 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: football is every game matters, and when you have a 202 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: bad loss or you have a big win, you take 203 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: a lot from it, and we can make like we 204 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: can change our opinions pretty drastically just based on a game. 205 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: And the best part about huge division games when you 206 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: have two really good teams in division, you get to 207 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: play him again. And obviously going into Foxboro place, they 208 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: don't win, right. It's it's not a place that Josh 209 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: Allen not necessarily his fault, but like his franchise had 210 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: a lot of success over the years, and they thoroughly 211 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: outplayed him. I mean they took it to him. You 212 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: gotta give Sean McDermot, who took a lot of heat. 213 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 1: I thought Dables game plan a couple of weeks ago 214 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: was terrible. Put this in Josh Allen's hand because the 215 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: one thing you see saw today like Mac Jones and listen, 216 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: it's not fair to compare Mac Jones to Josh Allen. 217 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,559 Speaker 1: One guy's in his fifth year, the other guy, or 218 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: I guess is his fourth year. The other guy is, 219 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: you know, way through his rookie season. But if you 220 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: just look at the quarterbacks in the division, Mac obviously 221 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: to Ah and Zack Wilson, another rookie like Zach is 222 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: the most talented out of those three guys, just in 223 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: terms of armed talent and athleticism. Obviously, Mac you know 224 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: he just doesn't possess neither, just to ah what Josh 225 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 1: Allen has in the bag. And I've come around on 226 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: Josh Allen because coming out I didn't see it because 227 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: he was so inaccurate. He's clearly become a very accurate pastor. 228 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 1: Sometimes a decision making can be a little far van. 229 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: But the plays he made today were jaw dropping. That 230 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: was elite. That's why you pay a guy a hundred 231 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: and fifty million dollars for that against the greatest coach 232 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: ever on the road with your backs kind of against 233 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,839 Speaker 1: the wall. You know, your season that started off like 234 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: you were on a rocket ship to be one of 235 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: the best teams in the league. It was all falling apart, 236 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: and you got it all right back. You made a 237 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: huge trade. I guess it would have been last year 238 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: or two years ago for Stefan Dicks. He was massive. 239 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: You need sometimes we overthink football. Your best players have 240 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: to play at high levels in big games. Look at 241 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: the Patriots. J C. Jackson has been one of the 242 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: best dbs in the league all season, really for the 243 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 1: last couple of years got abused. Today maybe Diggs is 244 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 1: just a tough matchup for him, but he got killed. 245 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: And going back to the game a couple of weeks ago, 246 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: it's not normal to be to be able to win 247 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,439 Speaker 1: games like that. Several years ago in the NFC Championship, 248 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: the Niners won a game with Jimmy Garoppolo throwing the 249 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: ball eight total times. That's not normal. In two thousand nine, 250 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: two twenty one, Matt Joe Star were three times, you know, 251 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: in the game in the Monday night football win like 252 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: that's that's that's an outlier that will never happen again 253 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: for him in his career. It's just not going to 254 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: be something that consistently ever happens. And you saw a 255 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: couple of times now against Indie and against Buffalo when 256 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: you have to put it on him on his shoulders. 257 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: And in fairness, they're missing some wide receivers, but let's 258 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 1: face it, it's not like those wide receivers are Juliettelman 259 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: and Randy Moss and Welker. Right, He's not gonna be 260 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: able to carry you. They have to play good defense 261 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 1: and they have to run the football. And when Josh 262 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: Allen is gonna play like this, You're gonna lose. You 263 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: just are. The Patriots aren't good enough offensively to hang 264 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: with a performance like that. Most teams are, like probably 265 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: only the Chiefs. If Josh Allen is gonna play like 266 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: that's an all pro performance. That's a performance that only 267 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: a handful of guys in the league, especially when you 268 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: factor in the running even having the back. When he 269 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 1: takes off like that with his size and speed, how 270 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 1: many quarterbacks obviously it was like Kyler and Lamar, but 271 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: Josh can take off like a runner. He becomes Cam 272 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 1: Newton on the ground. I mean, it's just in The 273 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: Patriots are a physical defense, so Sean McDermott, Brian Dable, 274 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: Josh Allen. Obviously, the you know, the Bill's defense really 275 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: responded because they got their teeth kicked in, you know, 276 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, and they needed this one, 277 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: and they needed this one bad. And now you watch 278 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: a game like this, you go listen if this, if 279 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: their quarterbacks on, they can beat anyone on any given day. 280 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: I think we all would agree on that. Kansas City, 281 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: Andy Reid, we were talking about it earlier in the season. 282 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: What did I say, We gotta pump the brakes right 283 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: that they are turning the ball over, which what felt 284 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: like it was at a historic rate every single game. 285 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: Mahomes and the offense was accounting for several turnovers and 286 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: their defense was not playing well. And I didn't know 287 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: their defense is gonna turn around like they did, but 288 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: I knew that they were not going to consistently turn 289 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: the ball over multiple times every game. Well, they cut 290 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: that out and then their defense turned into one of 291 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: the better defenses in the league. So once you cut 292 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: out the turnovers and you got Patrick Mahomes, you got 293 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: Andy Reid, and then your defense starts playing well, do 294 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: you know what happens? You cruise to the number one seed. 295 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: They obviously won the division for the sixth straight time. 296 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: Now they've benefited really beside maybe a Rivers year, the 297 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: division has been down, but like it's a little bit 298 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: like the Patriots with Belichick and Brady, their division can 299 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: be down and we can independently say that's a freaking 300 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: good team, Like that is a legit powerhouse squad. And 301 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: right now they have to be the heavy favorites to 302 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: win the a f C because, off the top of 303 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: my head, I'm pretty sure, in Mahomes' career he has 304 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: never played a road playoff game. He hasn't had to, right, 305 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: he won't have to again this year because the one 306 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: year they worth the number one seed with Mahomes, Derrick 307 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: Henry knocked out Lamar Jackson and they got the a 308 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: f C Championship game in Kansas City. Well, obviously with 309 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: the number one seed, they're gonna benefit multiple ways, right, 310 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: Obviously you're gonna have every game the road to winning 311 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: the a f C is gonna come through Kansas City. 312 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: One and two they get to buy because there's no 313 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: longer Remember a couple of years ago when Miami beat 314 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: New England on the final week of the regular season 315 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: and it flip flop between New England and Kansas City 316 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: got that two seed, Like that doesn't even exist. I 317 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: mean the two seed obviously, is there that much difference 318 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: between the tooth seed and the three seed? Mainly if 319 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: you both win, I guess you get to host the game, 320 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: which is a big deal the following week, but you 321 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: do not get the bye. And the Chiefs you could tell, 322 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're a little banged up right now 323 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: as of recording this. I you know, Clyde might have 324 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: broken his clavical Uh, he'll be out for the season 325 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: if that's the case. But and he's really actually played 326 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: pretty well when he's been on the field this year. 327 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: Second half of the season, he's been Uh, he looked good. 328 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: I mean, he had an awesome touchdown today where he 329 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: was hit by three guys basically the line of scrimmage 330 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: and it was like a little bowling ball bounced off 331 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: and ran right into the end zone. But if Mahomes, 332 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: like with Josh Allen, if Mahomes is gonna play like 333 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: this and their defense is going to stifle offenses, this 334 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 1: team is going to the Super Bowl. And then you know, 335 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: if they play the Packers or they play Tampa, whoever 336 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: wins the NFC then will probably be a coin flip game. 337 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: But this, to me is the best team, especially when 338 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 1: you factory and you gotta go through Kansas City easily 339 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: in the a f C. We are We're pretty lucky, right. 340 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: We transitioned pretty smoothly from Belichick and Brady to Andy 341 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 1: and Mahomes. And it's kind of cool that we got 342 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 1: to see them match up in one of the better 343 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 1: games the last decade that that an f C Championship 344 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 1: game where you know, New England's kind of kicking their 345 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 1: ass that at halftime Kansas City came storming back. Went 346 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: over time. I rewatched that. I remember during two thousand uh. 347 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 1: I think it was during the lockdown, had nothing to do. 348 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: NFL Network was just replaying games. That game was better 349 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 1: than I remembered, and that was the moment I think, 350 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,360 Speaker 1: I said, I know, we got a lot of new listeners, 351 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: but I remember watching that and like the summer of 352 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: two thousand twenty, even in a loss, I bet Veach 353 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 1: and Andy realized and obviously he won the MVP that year, 354 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: but for him to come storm and back, that's when 355 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: I was like, damn Mahomes, that that had to be 356 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: a defining moment mahomes career, Like when his career is 357 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: all said and done, and it's not his rookie season 358 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: because it was a second year in the league, but 359 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: his first year starting to show the moxie, to show 360 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: the comparative competitive character against one of the greatest dynasties 361 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: we've ever seen. Uh. And the fight that he showed 362 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: in that game was really really remarkable. But Kansas City, man, 363 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,360 Speaker 1: they're just an absolute powerhouse. Right now, And I think 364 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: sometimes and listen, I think we all can relate. You 365 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: go through a little adversity, you go through some tough times. 366 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,479 Speaker 1: If you can make it out to the other side, 367 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: Andy do Frain style, if you can, if you can 368 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 1: get through the ship in the mud, it's pretty good 369 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 1: on the other side because you learn from that. Right 370 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: some people will tell you this is not this thing 371 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 1: is failing. There's just learning now. In football, especially in 372 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: the playoffs or not making the like, losses can lead 373 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: to not a stending your season, so you have to 374 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: you can't just lose all the time. Sometimes losing is okay, 375 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: and because I've always thought that, I remember being in 376 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: the NFL. You could have a win a game you 377 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,959 Speaker 1: probably shouldn't have won, and you don't learn that much 378 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: from it. Sometimes losing is a good thing. And clearly 379 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: they were able to do some introspection, they were able 380 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: to coach him even harder, and they came out, you know, 381 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: on the other side, way better for it. And now 382 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 1: they're kicking ass and taking naps because they unlike the Bills, 383 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: who's really ebbed and flowed this season. Like once the 384 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: Chiefs figured it out that they have not looked back. 385 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: They have not flinched, and uh, they're playing at a 386 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: really I mean, the Steelers are cooked and they treated 387 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: him like a cook team. I mean they curb stopped 388 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: him today like that. That That game was a joke. And listen, 389 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: Roethlisberger's probably got two more games in his NFL career, 390 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: but the Chiefs made him look like a guy hanging 391 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: on for dear life. The other thing that this happened 392 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: on Saturday on Christmas. It's funny Christmas and listen, I 393 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: like the NBA have a big Warriors guy, but Christmas 394 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 1: was always the NBA's day. Now that the NFL does 395 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: these Saturday games, if Christmas ever falls on a Saturday, 396 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: it felt like Christmas is now the NFL's day. If 397 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 1: it's ever on a weekend, it's not really a fair fight. 398 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 1: Feel bad for Adam Silvery probably got his teeth kicked 399 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: in going up against Aaron Rodgers and then Kyler and Indy. 400 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,360 Speaker 1: But I I've been tweeting about this. I think I've 401 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: talked a little bit about this on the podcast. The 402 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 1: mid season Hard Knocks with the Colts is excellent. It 403 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: is really good. It's it's it's so much different than 404 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: the uh, you know, the hard knocks we usually get 405 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 1: because you know, hard Knocks in August is always based 406 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 1: on preseason games. You're always following guys trying to make 407 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: the team. Like we've kind of seen that song and dance, 408 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 1: and I think and I've definitely talked about it. This year, 409 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 1: hard Knocks is over. It's it's now boring. I no longer. 410 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: After the first episode this year with the Cowboys, I 411 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 1: didn't watch another episode. I thought it was trash. It's 412 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: like a propaganda machine for the team. And I don't 413 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,479 Speaker 1: blame the team, but I remember where I felt. I 414 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,919 Speaker 1: was thinking about it this weekend over some drinks. I 415 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 1: was like, I wonder if Hard Knocks indirectly had an 416 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: influence on my love of the sport of like always 417 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 1: thinking like I would love to work in the NFL 418 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: because when I was in high school, like in the 419 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: early two thousand's, like two thousand, two thousand one, two 420 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: thousand two, those hard Knocks you got such great insight 421 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 1: to the way guys were cut, the way front offices 422 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: were the front office and the coaching staff. Was like, God, 423 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: that looks really cool. I knew, uh my Davis High 424 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 1: football playing days. I had a pretty good idea I 425 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: wasn't ever going to play in the NFL, let alone 426 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: playing college, so my only route to the NFL was 427 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 1: trying to do something like that. And that was you know, 428 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: for a young kid, seeing the inside of it was 429 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 1: pretty awesome. And we no longer get that. I think 430 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: we all agree that Hard Knocks sucks now because we 431 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: don't see, you know, the the staff meetings, and the 432 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: staff meetings are by far always the best content well 433 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 1: during the season, it's it's much more about game planning 434 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 1: and getting into it, and you really learned the players 435 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: that are actually on the team, and the coaches, and 436 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 1: and Chris Ballard, I guess he's not playing a huge 437 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: role in this Hard Knocks. But one thing has really 438 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: stood out to me about the Colts now, Chris and Frank. 439 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna compare them to the Patriots. And when I 440 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 1: say compare to the Patriots, I don't mean they don't 441 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: have the resume of the Patriots. And and Chris and 442 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: Frank do not act like Bill Belichick. Clearly Bill would 443 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: never allowed midseason hard knocks, But in terms of the 444 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 1: players on their team, they have a very patriot like vibe. 445 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 1: Their players feel like they would thrive and play, and 446 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick would love them especially they're good ones DeForrest Buckner, 447 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: one of the highest character guys in the NFL, also 448 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: happens to be one of the best defensive lineman and 449 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: is one of the more versatile players in the league. 450 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,120 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. Do you know what a high level guy 451 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: that is? Jonathan Taylor. Every team in the league would 452 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: die to have Jonathan Taylor the person on their team, 453 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 1: let alone the player. Kenny Moore there, you know, guy 454 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,679 Speaker 1: just made the Pro Bowl this year at actually started 455 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: his career on the New England Patriots. Their guys are 456 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: so freaking high level. It is a very enjoyable watch 457 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: because of the high level group of players they have. 458 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: They're good. I mean, they are really good watching them. 459 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: I mean physically, Let's face it. I I'm not gonna 460 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 1: take a victory lap on the Arizona Cardinals, but I 461 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: think we know, uh, they're in shambles, and I think 462 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: there's a bigger picture question mark. They're no longer in 463 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: first place, the Rams beating Minnesota today, the Arizona Cardinals, 464 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 1: who have been in first place all season long. I 465 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: mean at one point in time, I thought they were 466 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: gonna go like fifteen and two. Like you can just 467 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,719 Speaker 1: you can't really dispute just wins. I mean they had 468 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: played thirteen games, they had one ten of them, and 469 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,199 Speaker 1: they just another loss, another loss. Listen, is size the 470 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 1: end all be all playing quarterback? No, it's not. We've 471 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,120 Speaker 1: seen it with Russell Wilson, who has had up until 472 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 1: right now, he's kind of in shambles, but it's had 473 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:55,360 Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame career. Russell Wilson is pounds, he's thick. 474 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: Look at Baker Mayfield, he's kind of falling apart. Kyler 475 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: Murray is not built like those guy. He's just much 476 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: slimmer and I don't know if he's if he gets 477 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 1: you know, fatigued as the season goes on, but he 478 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: does just kind of fall apart. And their head coach 479 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: just has no history of winning big games, mainly because 480 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: he never has. But it can't be argued that the 481 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals have an equally talented team as the Indianapolis Colts, 482 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: and the Colts pushed them around the culture coming because 483 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: the Colts can do a couple of things that translate 484 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: in January and they're not gonna probably host playoff games, 485 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 1: right because they're a wild card team, unless somehow the Titans, 486 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 1: you know, lose these last couple of weeks, which you 487 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: know probably won't happen. I don't even know who. I'd 488 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 1: have to look at who they're playing, but you know, 489 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 1: indeed they have a culture there with their players, Like 490 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: it's obviously they have really good players. I mean, I 491 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,360 Speaker 1: think they have the most players on the Pro Bowl 492 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: for any team. And listen as guys drop out of 493 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. Not everyone that makes the Pro Bowl 494 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: is the same, right, and being an All Pro is 495 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,159 Speaker 1: more important than being a Pro Bowl player. But when 496 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: you make the Pro Bowl as like would the legit 497 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, like right now before the game's played, that's 498 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: that's a legitimate honor, I think. And for the most part, 499 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: looking at the team, like the best players in the league, 500 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: and they have a shipload of them, and if their 501 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: quarterback can just play under control like he did the 502 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: other night, like they had a chance to make some 503 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: serious noise in the playoffs. Like they're the type team 504 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: who could play with the Chiefs because they have a 505 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: physical defense and they can run the ball, meeting, they 506 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: can kind of control the clock. Now. You know, the 507 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: one thing that doesn't have a lot of parallels probably 508 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: with the Patriots is I doubt Belichick would love Carson Wentz. 509 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: Not really his type player, but if you can just 510 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 1: get solid Carson Wentz, not the hero syndrome, him not 511 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: turning the ball over, this team can beat anyone on 512 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,400 Speaker 1: any given week, and they're playing their best football right now. 513 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 1: Physicality defense translates in big games, especially in games they're 514 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 1: gonna be played outside Kansas, and he's gonna have weather. 515 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: You know, who knows the Bills could win that division. 516 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: They're they're gonna have weather. You know, Tennessee, Nashville's beautiful place, 517 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: but it can be cold there. Uh, that stuff works 518 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 1: outside now. You know, last year Rivers was kind of cooked. 519 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: Was at the end. He was like a better version 520 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 1: of what we're seeing right now with Roethlisberger. I don't 521 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,719 Speaker 1: really know how to, you know, describe Carson Wentz kind 522 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: of a roller coaster ride. So I wouldn't place a 523 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 1: bet on them to win the Super Bowl more because 524 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: of him, but the infrastructure around him. Frank Reich, I 525 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: watched their Twitter account after the game, gave the game 526 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 1: ball to the general manager. Now, part of it is 527 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: this week was crazy, all these COVID guys. If you 528 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: could just get out of this week with a win, 529 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 1: who cares how it looks, Who cares how many gets? 530 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: You know, points you won by someone DM me today 531 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:53,159 Speaker 1: like basically getting mad that the Eagles aren't using Jalen Hurts. Right, 532 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: It's like, I didn't watch much of that game. But 533 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,719 Speaker 1: you guys, you guys won by points, like says the NFL, 534 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: you won by re score four scores. I guess three 535 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: scores if you count, they get every two point inversion. 536 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: But you want by points. It doesn't always have to 537 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: look pretty, especially on a week when COVID guys are 538 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: going left and right. You have all these every team 539 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: is mixing, matching, missing offensive lineman, missing skill guys. You 540 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 1: just win, you survive and get to the next week. 541 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: And that's kind of what everyone's trying to do. And 542 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: if you can win in convincing fashion, the more you know, 543 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,919 Speaker 1: the better, Right. But there's no style points in the NFL. 544 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,479 Speaker 1: This isn't the BCS. You're not trying to earn, you know, 545 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 1: spots for the committee. You're just trying to win. That's 546 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,679 Speaker 1: that's all that matters is the win lost record. In 547 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: the NFL, unlike college where I saw Luke Fickle had 548 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: a quote that was like this year was really taxing 549 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: on them, which understandable because they knew that every game 550 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: was gonna be under the magnifying glass and the microscope 551 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 1: and if they didn't win pretty enough that they wouldn't 552 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: move up the That's that's not the case. In the NFL. 553 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:59,360 Speaker 1: You just win, and luckily was seventeen games. Unlike college football, 554 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,199 Speaker 1: if you start like one and three, you've got no 555 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 1: chance to go dancing, right. But in the NFL, like 556 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,199 Speaker 1: the Colts, you can start slow then you don't have 557 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 1: much room for eror you gotta rattle off like you know, six, 558 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: seven of eight, right. But you can do that when 559 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 1: you have really good players, and Frank's a really good coach. 560 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: But to me, it just gets back to the culture 561 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: of the type guys they have. I I really enjoy 562 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: watching them play football right now. I think we the 563 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: Tampa one the division today some hats and T shirts, 564 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: Dallas hats and T shirts before they even played Kansas 565 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: City hats and T shirts. Um, it's just we're starting 566 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: to get somewhat of a field, still a lot of 567 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: moving parts. The wild cards in both you know, the 568 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: NFC and a f C are wide open. Uh, you know, 569 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: a lot of teams still have a shot these last 570 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. But I think we got a pretty 571 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: good idea. Definitely in the NFC, you know who's gonna 572 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: host playoff games. The seating is definitely still up in 573 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 1: the air. I think the Packers I feel like a 574 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: lock to be the one seed. Like if the Packers 575 00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: in Kansas City, the road to the Super Bowl is 576 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: gonna go through Lambeau, It's gonna go through Railhead, which 577 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: it did last year right in Kansas City. Took care 578 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: of business in Green Bay, couldn't. There's gonna be a 579 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 1: lot of pressure, man, and deservedly so, because last year 580 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 1: was the first time that Aaron Rodgers ever hosted in 581 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: a championship game. All his previous championship games, even the 582 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: year that he won the Super Bowl, won it on 583 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: the road, right, and all the other championship games that 584 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: he's lost have always been on the road. Last year 585 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: it was all set up for him. I think their 586 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: team is better this year. Now they got to get 587 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: some guys back still, but it's they got to win 588 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: the NFC. You know, I picked him last year. I'm 589 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: gonna pick him again. They have the best player right 590 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: now in football. Uh. They have an incredible home field 591 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: advantage in theory. I mean they've they've actually lost a 592 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: lot of playoff games in Lambeau. But they just feels 593 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: like their time right. We don't even say that about 594 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: Kansas City. We just have confidence in them. It's weird, 595 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: like we have confidence when we watched Green Bay played 596 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: during the regular season, they just they win a boatload 597 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: of games. They're doing it again this year, but it 598 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: does it's gonna do they get tight or do they 599 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: play loose? Because if they can play loose, they have 600 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: one of the best players I've ever seen a wide receiver. 601 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: I mean, Davantae Adams is on a completely different level 602 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 1: right now than everyone. He is a just as a 603 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: fan of football, it's a joy to watch him play football. 604 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: It really is that guy. And knowing people that know 605 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: him really well, Uh, knowing his character as a football 606 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: player in terms of his work ethic, how much he 607 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: cares about his craft, how much it means to him 608 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: to be an elite football player. It shows because he's 609 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: he's an unstoppable force. He he really is. And you know, 610 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: I know Colin got some joy with Baker Mayfield. Um, 611 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: I people ask me a lot and a lot of 612 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 1: you guys dm me about what are they gonna do 613 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: with him. I don't think it's that complicated. You're not 614 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: gonna do anything. You're gonna roll it back. He'll play 615 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 1: his fifth year option. Just see what happens. You're not 616 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: paying him any money. Under no circumstances would you offer 617 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: him a contract, even if it was twenty million dollars 618 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: a year. You just play it out. You're in zero rush. 619 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 1: Your your team is run by two IVY League guys 620 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: that did not draft Baker Mayfield. Now he still might 621 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: be their best option for two thousand twenty two, but 622 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: they don't need to even offer an extension one. He 623 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: probably wouldn't take it because their offer would be terrible. 624 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: But you just just let it play out. I think 625 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,959 Speaker 1: we're always like it's a no brainer with a Patrick 626 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: Mahomes or Davante Adams or a Jonathan Taylor or whoever. 627 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: Right the best young players. You always want to Nick 628 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: Bosa extend as soon as humanly possible. But then there's 629 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: a group of guys that you just don't have enough 630 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: information or the information you do doesn't make you feel good. 631 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: We'll just let it play out. Just let's see where 632 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: it goes. And to me, that is the category in 633 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 1: which Baker Mayfield falls under. Let's just see where it goes, 634 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: let's see how he plays because as of today and 635 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: as of right now, I just if I was those guys, 636 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 1: and what I envisioned those guys doing is nothing is 637 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: no contract and just making it la out in two 638 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: thousand twenty two, like I would imagine the Giants are 639 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 1: gonna do with Daniel Jones. They won't pick up his 640 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: fifth year option and they'll just let him play it out, 641 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: see what it goes, which obviously I'm not comparing Daniel 642 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: Jones the Baker. Baker's had more individual success than Daniel 643 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: Jones has, clearly, But I think everyone we just like, 644 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: what kind of contract? Why why do we need to 645 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 1: give anyone a contract that doesn't quote unquote deserve it 646 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 1: and deserves a tough word to use, because deserve can 647 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: be in the eye of the owner of a general 648 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 1: manager who can have biases. But some stuff is pretty 649 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: clear and Baker Mayfield, to me is pretty clear. Just 650 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 1: let it play out, which is not an ideal situation 651 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: to be in with the number one overall quarterback, but 652 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: that's where they're at, right That the Bills didn't hesitate 653 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 1: to give Josh Allen all that money, but Josh Allen 654 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: physically and the gifts he possesses or in a different 655 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 1: stratosphere than Baker Mayfield. So I understood them doing that, 656 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 1: even if it was based kind of on one year 657 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: with no fans. I mean it was it was a 658 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: little risky, but those two guys that pay Josh Allen 659 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: were the coach of the GM that after him. That's 660 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: not the case with Baker Mayfield. Like a lot of times, 661 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 1: you're so much you're you're gonna give the guy the 662 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt. And sometimes sometimes this is wrong 663 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: when he's your guy, when you pulled the pick with 664 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 1: trigger on the pick. But when you didn't and then 665 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: he's not playing that well, you know. I I think 666 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 1: that's when you hesitate and just let things run its 667 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: course and just play out. I get and and and 668 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: I guess then if it runs its course and he's 669 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 1: not good enough, you move on. Because I keep here, like, 670 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 1: what are they gonna do? I don't know's It's not 671 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 1: like he's great now. So if in two years I 672 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: have to find a new quarterback, so be it. It's 673 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: not an ideal situation to be in. But right now, 674 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 1: having the number one overall pick, you know from several 675 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: years ago, not play anywhere near the number one overall 676 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: pick is not an ideal situation either. Enjoy the week 677 00:33:47,760 --> 00:34:12,760 Speaker 1: and I will see you Tuesday. Audios is the volume
