I'd say it's safe to say it 28 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 1: kind of held on today, will ugly win, but hey, 29 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: when you've lost three straight games, you needed to win. 30 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: They got to win, So wheell dive into some of that. 31 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: Some news yesterday on the Jets and their coach and 32 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: GM coming back, and a couple other things. Seattle with 33 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: a nice win in Tennessee yesterday. I watched a lot 34 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: of that game. Kind of a weird week. It really 35 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: throws you off. I kept thinking today it's like Sunday, 36 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 1: but it's actually Monday. It's just very bizarre, the whole thing. 37 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: But holidays on weird days, we'll do that to you, 38 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: and the game plan is I'll probably have some mail 39 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: bags out this week. I'm at my mom's house for 40 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: the next couple of days and I'll be back in 41 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: Arizona on Thursday morning, so we'll just we'll figure out 42 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: if there's a will, there's a way. And I got 43 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: my equipment here, so we'll be firing out some pods 44 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: and yeah, so that's probably the game plan. It'll all 45 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 1: be up on YouTube as well.

I got them floor seats at a concert 50 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: in early January and Sacramento, and he's like, where'd you 51 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: get these? I'm like, where do you think I got them? 52 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: I went to my smartphone and I downloaded a little 53 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 1: app called game Time, and then when I bought the tickets, 54 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: I used the promo code John and saved a little coin. 55 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: That's because I was in the giving season and my 56 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: friends at game Time have been taking care of me 57 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: all year long, just like they've been taking care of you. 58 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: Get a pair of tickets to concerts comedy shows, football games, 59 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: basketball games, hockey games, you name it.

So game Time downloaded promo code John. 64 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: Let's face it, this was a really, really big game. 65 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: These two teams are the best records in the NFL, 66 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: especially the way they were currently playing. Were viewed as 67 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: you know, the top two teams in the NFL out 68 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: And anytime you get a matchup like that, you know 69 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: the home team is gonna be favored. And the forty 70 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: nine ers weren't just favored, they were almost a six 71 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: point favorite going into this game, rightfully so, because you 72 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: know what the forty nine ers are really good at 73 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: is being the bully. And one thing when they played Dallas, 74 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: when they played Philadelphia, when they played Pete Carroll, they 75 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: get to bully and shove them around. Well, they've been 76 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: bullied now twice, and you learn this lesson. I don't 77 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: know if your kids do, but we did when I 78 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: was kids. The only way to take down a bully 79 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: is to hit the bully square in the nose hit 80 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: him right in the teeth. You gotta bully the bully. Well, 81 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers aren't used to getting shoved around. 82 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: They're not used to not being the most physical team 83 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: on the field. And luckily for them in the NFC, Detroit, Dallas, 84 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,239 Speaker 1: Philly and these aren't physical defenses. They aren't built like bullies. 85 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: That's not the way they operate. But twice this year 86 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: the Niners have four losses. Two of them Kirk Cousins 87 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: lit them up like a Christmas tree. Joe Burrow looked 88 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: like he was the MVP of the league. The other 89 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: two games in Cleveland and then today against Baltimore, they 90 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 1: got shoved around. They got shoved around like they weren't 91 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: the bully, like the other team was the more physical, 92 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: tough team. Why because Cleveland and Baltimore clearly are two 93 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: of the better defenses in the NFL, and Baltimore specifically, 94 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: Baltimore is not as sexy as their numbers look. When 95 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: you look at their personnelity, you're like, well, they don't 96 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: have like a historic edge rusher. Roquan Smith's a really 97 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: good player, but not ray Lewis, like Kyle Hamilton, a 98 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,799 Speaker 1: lot i wouldn't put him in ed Reid's category yet, 99 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: but as a unit, like they had the number one 100 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: scoring defense in the league for a reason. One. They 101 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: tackle really well. They tackle very hard and physically up front. 102 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: I mean, their guys are fucking massive. They got Jadeveon 103 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: Clowney looking like a pro bowler, and like I said, 104 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: the two linebackers make a bunch of tackles. Their DB's 105 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: all fly around, Hamilton's a good player. There's a culture 106 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 1: and an ethos in that organization where when they play 107 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,799 Speaker 1: a team like the forty nine ers, who most people 108 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: view as one of, if not the most physical team, 109 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: Baltimore doesn't look, you know, like we're the inferior opponent. 110 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: It's why they kind of talked shit all week long, 111 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: like it's kind of crazy that we're this huge underdog 112 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: against these guys. Like what have these guys won a 113 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 1: lot of regular season games last couple of years. They've 114 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: won some playoff games, but not in the AFC. Right, 115 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: So to me, Baltimore came in today and shoved and 116 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 1: threw them around and honestly embarrassed them and made Brock 117 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: Purdy looked fucking awful, and anyone tomorrow. And I saw 118 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,679 Speaker 1: this a lot with people online on theex Twitter dot com, 119 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: a lot of forty nine er fans. They're like, oh, 120 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: his tips, his passes were all tipped. Well, he threw 121 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: a red zone interception, which Rich Gannon once said on 122 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: a broadcast. A coach told him it's the equivalent to 123 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: killing a baby. A red zone interception, beside a pick 124 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: six is the worst thing you can do as a quarterback. 125 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 1: And he had one that was that was obviously tipped 126 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: right in front of him, another one that was quote 127 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: unquote tipped. He threw across his body. Which you're allowed 128 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: to freelance and make plays when you're playing the Arizona Cardinals, 129 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: when you're playing Jamal Adams, who you know couldn't cover anybody. 130 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: When you're playing a team like this, an elite defense 131 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: who has high end players at every position, you have 132 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: to play smart. You have to be careful with the ball. 133 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: So when you are freelancing and keeping a play alive, 134 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: no problem with that. Making a decision to throw late 135 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: across your body. That's a new champ. And even Troy 136 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: Aikman said that, and tonight, like, let's face it, I 137 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: thought brock perty had no issue with him in the 138 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: MVP mix and potentially getting it now. I've also part 139 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: of the argument is like, there's not like a Tom Brady, 140 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning forty five touchdown guy this year. Right, 141 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: if there was, we wouldn't even be having this argument. 142 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: It's arguably the worst class MVP wise, based on statistics 143 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: and just looking around the league that I can remember 144 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: my adult life. So it's kind of a skewed argument 145 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: to begin with. Right, We're not saying like, well, Mahome's 146 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: about to throw fifty touchdowns and you know, Rogers just 147 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: led to the Jets third ten wins. He threw forty three, 148 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: but give it to brock Purty. That's not the conversation, right, 149 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: It's like, well, Lamar statistically is really down. A team's 150 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: good defense is awesome. You know Tyreek, you give it 151 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: to him, no problem, Josh Allen, Well, after that pick 152 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: he threw on Saturday, probably not right. So it's the 153 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: class is bad. But after he does that tonight, like 154 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: I'm sorry I couldn't vote for him like that that 155 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: was bad. He looked overwhelmed, and he's looked overwhelmed twice 156 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: this year, and it happened against high end defenses. And 157 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: it's my argument with Brock Purty all the time. If 158 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: you've watched him this year, he's been freaking awesome. He's 159 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 1: been damn good. When I give him two hundred million 160 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: dollars at the end of the season, of course not 161 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: he's in year two, Like, let's let this thing play out. 162 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: Let's let him continue to see how he looks against 163 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: good teams. And luckily they benefit a lot because in 164 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: the NFC they don't see a lot of Baltimore and 165 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: Cleveland defenses. Even Kansas City. Kansas City's defense is good, 166 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: they don't play those type teams. The NFC's defenses are awful. 167 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: I watched Dallas yesterday, which the NFC is like on 168 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 1: the line couldn't get a stop to save their life 169 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: after they took the lead. The Eagles secondary is abysmal, awful. 170 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: I have a lot of respect for Raheem Morrison. What 171 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: the Rams have done. Like they got a couple high 172 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: end players, let's pump the brakes. They're not exactly the 173 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: eighty five Bears. It's not a great defensive conference. So 174 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: when you put Party against the Browns on the road 175 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: in Baltimore tonight with the entire country watching, he got rocked. 176 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: He got Now then the team kind of fell apart injuries, 177 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: but tonight was And listen when you see this coaching matchup, 178 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: John Harbaugh Kyle Shanahan. Both guys are fifteen twenty million 179 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: dollars salary guys, both to the higher paid guys in 180 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: the league. John Harribaugh's CEO. Right, he doesn't call the defense, 181 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: doesn't call the offense. Got a staff and the staff's 182 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: really high end. Mike McDonald, his defensive protege who went 183 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: to Michigan, he hired back to be his defensive coordinator 184 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: to replace wink is a is a fucking stud. If 185 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: he was an offensive guy, he'd be a lockhead coach. 186 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: But because of the defensive guy, you got some hurdles. Monkin, 187 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 1: the dude that was with George the last couple of 188 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 1: years now has been awesome for Lamar, his coaching staff tonight, 189 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 1: like those two guys, and clearly Harball. You know he's 190 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: a big like swing swords and stuff, like motivation guy. 191 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: He's got all sorts of curve balls. Had his team motivated, 192 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: and his two coaches, the offensive defensive coordinators ran circles 193 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: around Kyle Shanahan, Steve Wilks, Tonight was a clinic. Anyone 194 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: that says, well, just a couple of tip balls, bullshit. 195 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 1: What I witnessed for fifty five minutes of that game 196 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: was one team working the other. That doesn't mean the 197 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 1: forty nine ers have no chance to win the Super Bowl. 198 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean the forty nine ers stink. It means tonight, 199 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: against another high end team that they easily could see 200 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, they got worked. And one problem is, 201 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: and listen, I always say this about Kyle cause he 202 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: can get very run heavy, which in a weird way 203 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: I appreciate because it's kind of a throwback, but it's 204 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: very different than most coaches. You know, franchises operate in 205 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. But Aikman talked about like you go 206 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,719 Speaker 1: into a game, they asked him, thinking it's gonna be 207 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: high scoring shootout or like a low scoring, you know, slugfest, 208 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 1: And he's like, I go into the game thinking it's 209 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: gonna be kind of a lower scoring You can tell 210 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 1: right away what Kyle thinks your weaknesses are. And tonight, 211 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, he was obsessed with throwing the ball 212 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: which is a little out of character. Usually he loves 213 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: to run the ball, establish the run. Tonight it was like, 214 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna sling the pill. I'm gonna sling the pill. 215 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna sling the pill. Here's the problem, Trent Williams, 216 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: who knock on what? I hope he's okay. It might 217 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 1: have just been like a little dinged up. Get him 218 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: out of there. We're down by twenty plus points in 219 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, Like, what are we doing here? This 220 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: guy's very important to us, but he thought he could 221 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: throw on him. Here's the problem. Beside Trent, It's gonna 222 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: be very difficult for those offensive linemen to straight up 223 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: block Baltimore's front. Like I said, this ain't Seattle, this 224 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: ain't Arizona. This is a high end, super Bowl level defense. 225 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: And they were working him up front, working him, and 226 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: perty started getting hit, started getting rattled. And listen, for 227 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: the first time in a long time, he looked like 228 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: a guy who whose confidence was a little shaken. And 229 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: they'll say whatever they want after the game. I understand. Listen, 230 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: I support the guy if I was you know, Debo 231 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: or any of those Kyle, But like if you just 232 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: watch Brock, pretty play this entire season, He's been rattled 233 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,239 Speaker 1: a couple times. One time he had a concussion in Minnesota. 234 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: The other time was Cleveland when they were throttling him, 235 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: I mean throughout the game. It was a tough environment. 236 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: It would have been hard for any quarterback. Peyton Manning 237 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: would have been hit hard. Like it's it's difficult playing 238 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: high end defenses. Is what separates the good from the great. Right, 239 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: you watch Lamar tonight, like, dude's got a lot of pitches. 240 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: Dude's pretty seasons, Dude's seen it all. He's a much 241 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: better passer now, he's so under control as a runner, 242 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: like Lamar has become a very, very complete player, which 243 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: even when he won the MVP, you saw him get 244 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: exposed in the playoffs. Like this is a guy who 245 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna be the They should win the 246 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: AFC because he's that good. And this is the other 247 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: dumb part about the argument, like arguing Perty as an 248 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: MVP season, No one's saying he's like more talented than 249 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes. We're just 250 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: talking about this season and so far, up to this 251 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: game in the season, he had been fucking awesome, beside 252 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: a couple of little moments. Tonight was bad. Tonight was 253 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if it just completely discounts you, 254 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: but I saw he's no longer the betting favorite. It 255 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: was ugly and they got rocked. But to me, when 256 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: he gets rocked, that's also on the coach because it's like, well, 257 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: you know, the coach runs it all. Okay, the coach 258 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: is running it all. Mike McDonald, who's been a defensive 259 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: coordinator in the NFL now two years, Kyle, you've been 260 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator in this league for fifteen years, Like, 261 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: are we playing chess? Cause they were, and it looked 262 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: like you were, like, I don't know, it was weird. 263 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: It was a very weird performance. And defensively, you know, 264 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: they were putting some tough spots with some of the turnovers, 265 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: but not their best effort. Now, running quarterbacks, I hear 266 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: this a lot in like Niner Land. Running quarterbacks give 267 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: the Niners trouble. Yeah, running quarterbacks when they're playing well, 268 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: give everybody trouble. Lamar Jackson when he's playing well is 269 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: a tough guy to play. So to me, it's just listen, 270 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: the defensive line has to dominate and when they don't, 271 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: no different than the Eagles. Now, the Niners back seven 272 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: is better than the Eagles. But when you are a 273 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 1: very defensive line oriented team, you got to pepper that quarterback. 274 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: And they had a couple of times where they were 275 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: all over Lamar and he kind of wiggled away and 276 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: he went on to make a play either with his 277 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: legs or with his arm. And tonight was a coaching mismatch, 278 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: a player mismatch. You know, the final score looks a 279 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: little closer, like I don't do hollow points, you know 280 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: in late blowouts. You know, Derek Carr has made a 281 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: career of this, throwing a bunch of yards, putting up 282 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: a bunch of points when you're down like twenty in 283 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter and you end up losing, You like, 284 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: oh they only lost by eighty. That's not the game 285 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: we witnessed. So there was a lot on the line tonight. 286 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: And if you're the Baltimore Ravens, now, let's face it, 287 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: they are a super Bowl team. They're a team that 288 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: when you talk about him, they can win the Super Bowl. 289 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: I don't think I was quite there yet, but after 290 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: you watch tonight, what they just did on the road. 291 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: One to me, they're gonna be the favorite in the AFC. 292 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: And two it's just I just they kind of got 293 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: it all right. They can run the ball, their quarterback 294 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: obviously can do it all. You know, the weapons on offense. 295 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: Adding Jay Flowers has taken them to another level. Beckham 296 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: solid and defensively, they're just really good and we know 297 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: how well coached they are, well motivated. The other thing is, 298 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: like I said early, why the forty nine are struggle 299 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: when they don't get to be the bully. When they 300 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: shove you around, they can just engulf you. They just 301 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: start kicking you on the ground. Well, when if they 302 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: start kicking you on the ground, you just get up 303 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: and you start kicking them back, they kind of throws 304 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: them off. And that's what Cleveland and that's what Baltimore 305 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: have because they're tough, they're physical, and it's why I 306 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: wouldn't want to play Listen obviously, you know, the Ravens 307 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: quarterback situation is a little bit better than Flacco, but 308 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: that shit works in the playoffs. You know, you get 309 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: these ugly games, you get these grimy games, and when 310 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: you're just the toughest guy, you know, in the stadium 311 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: and they got eleven of them on the field at 312 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: all times. I mean, that's just a tough team. I 313 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't see how they especially if they 314 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: get the number one seed, how they don't win the AFC, 315 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: you know, because we'll talk about Kansas City now, and 316 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: you know, congrats Baltimore. That was that was Harball Lamar 317 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: the defense, Mike McDonald, that was impressive. It really was. 318 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: If I'm a Ravens fan right now too, I'm thinking Vegas, Baby, 319 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: when is the Super Bowl. I'll see you there like 320 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: Monday of that week. I'm gonna go hang cause we 321 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: going to the Bowl. That's what I'd be feeling right now, 322 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: and that's not what Chiefs fans are feeling. And I 323 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: was in a lot of pain this morning, sick, dehydrated, 324 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: not really sure what I got, but I was struggling. 325 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: I was lying there in bed with iPad watching that game, 326 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: thinking this is crazy, this is what they're really gonna 327 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: lose to the Raiders, and for a little while they 328 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: were getting their ass kicked. And then he throws the 329 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: pick six to Jack Jones, the dude Antonio Pierce coach 330 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: in high school who was really good for the Patriots 331 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: a couple years. Like that guy's a player, he said, 332 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: back to back games with pick sixes. He just makes place. 333 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: I like that. I know he's got some you know, 334 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: red flags off the field, but if you can keep 335 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: that guy in the straight and narrow, the Chiefs offense 336 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: is just not just like we got to fix the 337 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: chief The Chiefs offense is what it is. It's not 338 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: very good. They're a good defensive team, they have a 339 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: good head coach, they have a you know, extremely talented 340 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: and historic quarterback who's won MVP super Bowls, but one 341 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: he didn't play well today, and two offensively, like they 342 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: just don't score points. Like that's just the fact you 343 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,199 Speaker 1: just watch them. They struggle to score. They're not playing 344 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: Al Davis John Madden's Raider series. You know, beside Max Crosby, 345 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 1: you should be able to score twenty points at home, 346 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: no problem. And it was just really really difficult for 347 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: them to move the ball and it has been all season. 348 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 1: And whether it's the young wide receivers beside Rice have 349 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: not stepped up, whether it's Kelsey getting kind of old, 350 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: whether their offensive line is kind of underachieving a little bit, 351 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 1: whether it's Pachaco, who got you know injured today, Who's 352 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 1: who's a good player. But when their quarterback, like in 353 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: the the way the offense is currently constructed in Kansas City, 354 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 1: where's gonna be difficult, Like the Tyreek Hill days are done. 355 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey, in the prime of his career, is behind us. 356 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: If Patrick Mahomes is gonna play bad, you're fucked. Like 357 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: you could lose to probably twenty to twenty five teams 358 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: in the NFL because defensively are good. Like defensively, the 359 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 1: Raiders did not complete a pass in the second, third 360 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: or fourth quarter. Think about that. It's the first time 361 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 1: a team has won when they did not complete a 362 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: pass in the final three quarters since like the Er 363 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,479 Speaker 1: five Giants when Eli did it in a rainstorm in 364 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: like Wembley in Europe. So it's it's it's crazy that 365 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: they were able to win. Google the quarterback for the 366 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 1: Aidan O'Connell's stats today, go to the box score. It 367 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: gets Wait, this team won and kind of easily. Pretty 368 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,719 Speaker 1: it's pretty nuts. The Chiefs are good on defense, Like 369 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 1: they're not giving up a lot of points even that, hey, 370 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: they're not even allowing balls to be completed. Seven of 371 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 1: those points were the dB scoring on Patrick Mahomes, and 372 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: Mahomes easily could have thrown another pick that was overturned. 373 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: It was pretty damn close that, you know, him and 374 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 1: NBS just clearly aren't on the same page, and he 375 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: threw it right to a dB and the dude, you know, 376 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: I guess it hit the ground, but it was an 377 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: awful awful It was the type stuff that scrubs throw, 378 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 1: and I think sometimes you lose your confidence, you stop 379 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: playing well, you start forcing it. Clearly, they've been very 380 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 1: frustrated as a group, but like Kansas City, is just 381 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: not pretty average right now, and to me, they could 382 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,360 Speaker 1: The good thing with them is their defense is good. 383 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: They could win a couple of close games in the 384 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: playoffs and be in the AFC Championship against the Ravens. 385 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: They also could lose in the first round. They also 386 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: could lose in the first round. I'll probably pick them. 387 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: To me, they feel this year like a second round team, 388 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 1: Like I'd be a little stunned if they lost at 389 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 1: home in the first round. I don't see him going far. 390 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: I mean, it's technically they could still lose the division 391 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: if they lose the last two weeks and the Raiders 392 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 1: win the last two weeks, that's not gonna happen. They'll 393 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: win the division, but they're gonna be ten and seven. 394 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: They're gonna be limping into the playoffs, and I think 395 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: a lot of people are gonna bet against them, I 396 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: really do, depending on the matchup. I definitely wouldn't bet 397 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 1: against him at home in the first round, but I 398 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 1: could see myself betting against them in the second round, 399 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 1: especially if they had to go to Baltimore. You know, 400 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: I actually think they could match up pretty well against 401 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: Miami because they played good defense, right, so they would 402 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: just kind of keep it a low scoring game, and 403 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: that's how they're gonna have to win. If they're gonna 404 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 1: win playoff games, gonna be like nineteen to seventeen, right, 405 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 1: twenty three to seventeen. Like the scorers are not gonna 406 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: be They're not scoring thirty plus points. Those days are over. 407 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: So that was shocking, stunning to watch the Niners get 408 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 1: their ass kicked, and stunning to watch the Chiefs lose 409 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: to the Raiders, who I think we Hunter Mayhon PJ. 410 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: Tor Golfer, You're gonna be a media star stud Oklahoma 411 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: State guy tweeted at me today that is Antonio Pierce 412 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: the next Dan Campbell, And I said this the moment 413 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: Mark hired Antonio Pierce. He wants to hire Antonio Pierce. 414 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: He does not want to go through another coaching search. 415 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: He's taken some big swings, like with Cruden it failed. 416 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: He went through a big coaching search and landed on 417 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels. That was an utter disaster. And now he 418 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 1: has this guy who's you know, from southern California, who 419 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: takes not just takes a lot of pride in the Raiders. 420 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: Grew up a Raider fan like that. Shit means a 421 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: lot in the walls of the Raiders. And he's proven 422 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 1: to be pretty solid and the players really like him. 423 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: And today was impressive like that. That was a team 424 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 1: on Christmas on the road. It's funny whenever they call 425 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: Raiders chiefs of rivalry, it's like, eh, not that Dandy 426 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 1: Reid showed up. But today was and they were ready 427 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: to play, and they took it to him. And defensively 428 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 1: they've been really good and he's a defensive coach. Now obviously, 429 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: if they did keep him, whose offensive coordinator is going 430 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: to be? Where's he gonna get a quarterback. They still 431 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: would have a lot of questions. But I think he's 432 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: trending to be the head coach and if he can 433 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: end the season, they're what six and eight, So now 434 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,479 Speaker 1: they're seven and eight. You know, if he could end 435 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: eight to nine, I think right now, after today, I 436 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: would bet on Antonio Pierce becoming the next head coach 437 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: of the Raiders. It's an easy kind of you know, 438 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: take a deep breath from Mark. He made a mistake 439 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, the year Gruden got fired 440 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: in the middle of the season, Rich took over, led 441 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: him to the playoffs, and he kind of overreacted and 442 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 1: didn't keep him and went to Josh McDaniels, which obviously 443 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: hindsight's twenty twenty, but it was the wrong decision. I 444 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: just don't think you get in the same situation a 445 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,399 Speaker 1: couple of years later, a guy that's well liked the 446 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,439 Speaker 1: players are begging for same deal with Rich. All the 447 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: star players like them, no different than right now. All 448 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: the good players on this team like him. Clearly he's 449 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: a high level football guy. Tom he's bringing I don't 450 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 1: think he's doing this randomly either. He's Tom Koflin's been 451 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: out in Vegas. Marvin Lewis is a close friend of him. 452 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: He's been out in Vegas with him. I think trying 453 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 1: to like he's leaning on those showing Mark he's taking 454 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 1: this very very seriously. He was in tears today basically 455 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,199 Speaker 1: after the win. I fully expect Antonio Pears unless they 456 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: get destroyed these last two weeks, which hard to see, 457 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: to be the next head coach of the Raiders. Now 458 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: in the Eagles, the talent mismatch of the Eagles and 459 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,959 Speaker 1: Giants is as white as the Grand Canyon. There's a reason, 460 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: and the stat came up today that the Giants have 461 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,199 Speaker 1: not beat the Eagles or the Cowboys since Brian day 462 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: Ball took over. Those two teams have owned them. Why, 463 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: there's a giant gap in players. That's why I was 464 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: so confident last year in kind of pounding the table 465 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: for Brian day Ball to be the coach of the Year. 466 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't think people realize how shitty his 467 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: roster is. Now. He doubled down kind of on that 468 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: roster with Daniel Jones, and it's backfired. And the Tommy 469 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: DeVito thing clearly came to a screeching halt, he's benched 470 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: out a halftime, they go to Tyrod Taylor. But today 471 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: was a good example. I don't think the Eagles are 472 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,239 Speaker 1: really playing that well. I just think the talent when 473 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: they play that team, it's just too hard for the 474 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: Giants to overcome. And they still almost overcame it right. 475 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: They got a kickoff return fumbled that they immediately score 476 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: a touchdown. They hit a late bomb from Tyrod Taylor like, 477 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: they had some explosive plays, but they're still not quite 478 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: good enough. There was one play that was kind of 479 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: the dagger where Jalen was scrambling around like a third 480 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 1: and fifteen and hit aj Brown for a huge game. 481 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: They kind of shifted the momentum. They end up scoring 482 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: with DeAndre Swift and it turned out to be the 483 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: difference in the game. But when you watch the Eagles, 484 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: and this is why speaking about the Niners, the Niners 485 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: are so much more physically tougher than the Eagles and 486 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. It's why when they played those two teams 487 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 1: they destroyed them. But the Ravens, for example, like it's 488 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 1: you can't play them like that. They hit you too hard, 489 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 1: they tackle too well, and you watch the Eagles back seven. 490 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: They don't cover that well and they're just not that 491 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: physical and it really shows in these games. Now they 492 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: have so much offensive firepower. I mean Aj Brown, DeVante Smith, 493 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,360 Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift is really good player. Jalen to me looked 494 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: a little healthier today. His arm looked lively. He was 495 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,640 Speaker 1: running the ball really well. They go like seven deep 496 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: at offensive linemen like their guards get injured, it's like 497 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 1: another guy could be a starter. Like God, they are 498 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 1: just deep and tight ends a stud Offensively, they are 499 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: just so talented. I just don't think their defense is 500 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: good enough. And ultimately it wasn't quite good enough last year, 501 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: but it was clearly playing at a much higher level 502 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 1: than it was this year. So you know, the Eagles 503 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,120 Speaker 1: had to win today. That if they would have lost 504 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: today crossed my mind, like would they fire next year 505 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: on if they just lose the Giants and home on Christmas. 506 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: They didn't, and everyone got to smile. You get a 507 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: win on Christmas. But I do think they are very 508 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,360 Speaker 1: very vulnerable going into the playoffs and depending on their matchup, 509 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,640 Speaker 1: I mean, are their defense can give up a lot 510 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: of points. You can really well Kyle Shannan thought he 511 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: could do against the Ravens, you can't. You can throw 512 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 1: on the Eagles relentlessly and their guys just aren't gonna 513 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: be able to cover you. And if you get a 514 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: little space, their guys are gonna miss tackles. And if 515 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: their defensive line is not getting home, your quarterback could 516 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: throw for three hundred and fifty fo hundred yards and 517 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: if you got good wide receivers, they could go off. 518 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 1: And it's hard to in the playoffs in twenty twenty 519 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: three in a passing league when that is your huge weakness, 520 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 1: it's pass coverage, big place. You know, it's really difficult 521 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: too many teams. Just look at the NFC. It's why 522 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: the Cowboys let them up a couple weeks ago because 523 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,199 Speaker 1: they have a good passing game in theory not the 524 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: other day. But the Allions. Lions are stacked with offensive weapons, 525 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: or are the forty nine ers. So it's even the Rams, 526 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: I mean pookin Nakua Cooper Cup like they're gonna throw 527 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: the ball with Matt Stafford. So it's just not fixable 528 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 1: that there is no scheme that you can use to 529 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 1: overcome the holes when your guys can't cover. It's impossible. 530 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 1: I don't care how much zone defense you play. Eventually, 531 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get your guy in a situation where he 532 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,959 Speaker 1: has to run with my guy and their guy simply 533 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: can't do that right now. And it's not something you 534 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: can fix in the middle of December. Right that's an 535 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: off season project, which which I would expect them to 536 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 1: do a lot of rehabilitation to the secondary. Obviously they 537 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,199 Speaker 1: got some young players coming up, but you know the 538 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: Bradbury Sleigh situation, those guys are just older. And you know, 539 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,959 Speaker 1: that's the hard part about football, right it comes fast. 540 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 1: You don't totally know what's gonna happen, and then all 541 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 1: of a sudden you're like, God, this guy's step slower. 542 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: He was just good last year. It's like happens like 543 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: that is the hard part of talent evaluation. It's the 544 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: hard part about being a general manager in the NFL, 545 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 1: because the guy can look really good for three straight 546 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,360 Speaker 1: years and you're like, let's give this guy another contract extension. 547 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden you do it. He's not 548 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 1: the same guy. And it's not because of lack of trying. 549 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: It's not because of lack of war ethic. It's not 550 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 1: because of lack of studying. It's like he just lost 551 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,479 Speaker 1: a you know, a half second on his forty and 552 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,400 Speaker 1: he now no longer can run with the wide receivers. 553 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: So yeah, man, that was crazy. A couple other things 554 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: I wanted to touch on was the Jets Yesterday Woody Johnson, 555 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,479 Speaker 1: I guess this would have been what day that had been? 556 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 1: It came out Saturday, Sunday morning, I'm all screwed up. 557 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: Came out Sunday morning that he talked with someone at 558 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: the New York Post and said that everyone was coming back, 559 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: Robert Sala, Joe Douglas, and that those guys, you know, 560 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: he thought they had made some positive strides. And I'm 561 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: getting a little workout on Well, I'm thrown off now. 562 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: It would have been Sunday watching Jets commanders and commanders 563 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 1: come storming back. And I keep thinking the number one 564 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: thing the Jets hang their hat on, because offensively, for 565 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: the majority of the season, they've been awful. Like I 566 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,640 Speaker 1: think they went like twelve of like their fifteen games 567 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: where they scored one touchdown, one offensive touchdown. Yesterday scored 568 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 1: a couple more, But for the most part, offensively they 569 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: have been an embarrassment. Well defensively, if you just listen 570 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: to casual people talk about them, they're discussed like one 571 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: of the better defenses yet whatever. I watched them play 572 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: the last two weeks. Dolphins lit them up like Christmas 573 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: Tree two weeks ago with Tyreek out, Jacoby Bursett and 574 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: the Washington who are awful moving the ball at will 575 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 1: against them in a drive for basically their season, right 576 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: down scored a touchdown. I don't even know how good 577 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: they are at defense now. They have a couple good 578 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: players here and there, but basically, and Colin asked me 579 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: this a couple weeks ago, like, what would you do? Well, 580 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 1: I know what's gonna happen. They're gonna bring him back 581 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: because they're just gonna say, well because of Aaron Rodgers. Well, 582 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers coming off he's forty years old, off of 583 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: torn achilles, which somehow he almost healed in like four months, 584 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: is gonna save this franchise? Seems borderline impossible to me, Like, 585 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: I think they have so far to go. I don't 586 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: even think they are remotely close to being good now 587 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: obviously as bad as they are this year. But I 588 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: picked him to be a playoff team this year when 589 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: I thought Aaron Rodgers was gonna be healthy. I don't 590 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 1: know if they would have been a lock to make 591 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: the playoffs if Aaron Rodgers had been healthy all season. 592 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: I really don't. Their offensive line is too bad, the 593 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: coordinator's not good enough, So I don't know, man, that 594 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: seems kind of crazy. I was thinking about this when 595 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: Seattle beat Tennessee in a crazy kind of walk off 596 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: touchdown to DK Metcalf in the corner of the end zone, 597 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: and the Rams obviously one on Thursday night. My argument 598 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: was going to include Kyle Shanahan, but he got punk. Now, 599 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: John Harribod makes you know, seventeen eighteen, nineteen million dollars 600 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 1: between Kyle, Pete Carroll and Sean McVay. That's probably forty 601 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: five to fifty million dollars in coaching, and the NFC 602 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: West more than likely is going to get three teams 603 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Rams are gonna make it, Seattle's gonna 604 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: make it, and obviously the forty Niners have already clinched. 605 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: This is why I'm so hard on Dean Spanos and 606 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: the coaching situation with going cheap on coaches, because like Seattle, 607 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: listen they'll probably be one and done. But like these 608 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 1: last couple of years, if you're a Seattle Seahawk fan, 609 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: you can take a lot of pride. My team won 610 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: eighteen games. Majority of the games I got to watch, 611 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: we had a chance to win, we were in them, 612 00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: we won a lot of them. So I was like, 613 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: you would have been better off. What if you're nine games, 614 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: You're not gonna win like two, so you're never gonna 615 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: be drafting that high, being like six or seven and 616 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: drafting tenth. No, you would always much rather be competitive. 617 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: It's the best part about football, waking up on Sunday 618 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 1: and having a competitive football team. And Pete Carroll's brought that, 619 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: and obviously Sean McVay has brought that too. But why 620 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: do Seattle and why do the Rams get this? Because 621 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 1: they pay for it. Both guys to the highest paid 622 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,239 Speaker 1: coach in the NFL can take random players, turn them 623 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: into austoin players, take mid round picks, tournament to impact 624 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: guys and take like hot and listen. Part of the 625 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: reason Seattle has turned it around is because the Russell 626 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: Wilson drake right. So whenever I see this, would they 627 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: have been better off with the Russell Wilson, I don't know. 628 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: I watched Russell Wilson against Belichick get fucking worked over 629 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: Christmas dinner, Christmas Eve. I mean that was Russell Wilson 630 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 1: to me, is anyone arguing for him is like obviously 631 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: was a huge fan of them, which I was too, 632 00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: is like holding out hope that that's ever coming back 633 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 1: or he's gonna like he's he's the average of the 634 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: day as long, and when you factor in his money, 635 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: it's below average because of what you're paying him, right, 636 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 1: And so when I watched Gino Smith play like he's 637 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 1: not great either, But what's the gap between those two guys, Well, 638 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: the gap financially is gigantic. And it's like I could 639 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: win just as many games with you know as I 640 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: can't with Russ. And you could argue with the cohesion 641 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: and how much everyone likes each other, I could win more. 642 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: My team is closer together. So just a massive, massive 643 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: win for the amount of money getting paid Right now 644 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: in the NFC West, there's a reason these teams are 645 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 1: not just being competitive but going to the playoffs because 646 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 1: they don't go cheap. You know. Part of the reason 647 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 1: the Eagles went after the Arizona Cardinals for tampering because 648 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 1: they wanted to give Vic Fangil five million dollars a 649 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: year to be Nick Sirian his defensive coordinator. They had 650 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 1: planned on him making him the highest paid defensive coordinator 651 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: in the NFL. But Jonathan Gannon kind of screwed him 652 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 1: over in the Arizona. They mess with them, and Vic 653 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: walk because to Miami, where he's the highest paid defensive 654 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: coordinator in the NFL. So it's like, are you willing 655 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: to do everything possible? When I hear the Spanos's who 656 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 1: are clearly leaking out, they're very offended that people are 657 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: calling them cheap. Look at this. Look at how much 658 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 1: they pay the players. If your argument ever is in 659 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 1: the NFL, look how much we pay the players. You're 660 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: a fucking clown. Everyone pays the players. This is not baseball. 661 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: Everyone has player money. It's called the television contracts. What 662 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 1: about our new practice facility? Nobody cares. No one has 663 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: any clue or team's practice to the NFL. This is 664 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 1: not college football. How much do you pay the things 665 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 1: that we do? Pay attention to the coaching staff, Well, 666 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: consistently you're on the low rent. So like, that's why 667 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 1: everyone rips on you, not because you have this beautiful 668 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: practice facility. Nobody cares. The Raiders have had the nicest 669 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,959 Speaker 1: practice facility in the NFL since they moved to Vegas. 670 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: We all make fun of them because they lose games. 671 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: Are you're judged on winning and losing, and coaches, no 672 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: one cares how awesome your practice facility is. So yeah, 673 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 1: I just think that big year for the NFC West, 674 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 1: getting three teams in there. That's that's for sure. And 675 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 1: we'll end on this my Morgan and Morgan player that 676 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: made it look easy. I think this is an easy one. 677 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,280 Speaker 1: I saw a stat yesterday after the Tampa Bay Bucks 678 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: killed Jacksonville that Baker Mayfield has a ten ten touchdowns 679 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,400 Speaker 1: and one interception in the month of December. And obviously 680 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,839 Speaker 1: Tampa's playing really well. I got news for you. They're 681 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 1: gonna beat the Saints next week and they're gonna win 682 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: the division and honestly, they have some positive momentum going 683 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 1: into the playoffs. They've been really impressive, they really have. 684 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 1: And offensively, Mike Evans and Baker looked really in tune. Defensively, 685 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,399 Speaker 1: like I give Todd bowlesk credit, like they're just they 686 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: look like just a pretty well run, buttoned up operation. 687 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 1: But Baker Mayfield, I'll never forget. Colin thought he should 688 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:51,400 Speaker 1: retire and just go work in college football and just 689 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 1: you know, be like a Joel Klatt. And I said, 690 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 1: even if he's a disaster, which I expect him to be. 691 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: I thought Tampa was going to be terrible. I thought 692 00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: the Rams are going to be terrible. They're both going 693 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: to the playoffs. Even if you're a terrible NFL player, 694 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 1: you can always go do stuff on college football. It 695 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. But Baker's been pretty solid. And I get 696 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,280 Speaker 1: asked a lot in the mail bag how much Baker 697 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 1: and what Tampa's gonna do this offseason. I could see them, 698 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 1: you know, maybe like a two year contract, like two years, 699 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: forty million guarantee, like twenty twenty five. If you're Baker, 700 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 1: gives you kind of a little landing spot, gives you 701 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,399 Speaker 1: some solid money, it'd be pretty easy. Maybe he'd want 702 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 1: more than that. He's making four million dollars this year. 703 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: It's not like you'd give him thirty million dollars, but 704 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 1: he's probably worth more than ten or fifteen million. It's 705 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: kind of a weird spot, you know. It's kind of. 706 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: I would imagine some of the comps will be like Gino, 707 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 1: even Daniel Jones. It probably end up getting more money 708 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 1: than I think. Actually, now that I say it out loud, 709 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if Tampa would give him Daniel Jones money, 710 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 1: but whatever the Geno contract is, I definitely could see 711 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 1: Baker getting that. So that's more like twenty twenty five 712 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: million dollars props to Baker Mayfield because he's taking Tampa. 713 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,840 Speaker 1: You know, last year they made the playof let's face it, 714 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,879 Speaker 1: that was felt like a fake playoff team. This year 715 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 1: making the playoffs that they definitely feel like, you know, 716 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 1: they're a real football team. I'd probably be one and done. 717 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,800 Speaker 1: I would imagine most people are gonna bet on Dallas 718 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 1: to beat them again in the first round. But they 719 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 1: had a much better year this year, and a huge 720 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,839 Speaker 1: reason is Baker Mayfield making it look easy. So if 721 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: you're ever injured, you can check out Morgan and Morgan. 722 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 1: Their fee is free unless they win.
