Michael Fabiano. Still under the weather.

In the meantime, man, 14 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: rest up, get some fluids in you. Uh ice up son, 15 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: as as our colleagues Steve Smith might say, so, do 16 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: I se up a few of the flu Probably not 17 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: well if you have fever. But that seems like a 18 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: bad idea Steve Smith, great receiver, not a good doctor. Anyway. 19 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: We actually have some more uh coordinator news around the NFL. 20 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: We'll talk about some of that. We'll also talk about 21 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: this thing Seahawks. Twitter seems to have turned on Pete Carroll, 22 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: so I'm very curious to get our thoughts on what 23 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: this means potentially for fantasy if it happens. It's all 24 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: hypothetical right now. Plus you might have heard, Uh, the 25 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: super Bowl is coming in a couple of weeks, So 26 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: we'll take an early look at some of the the 27 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: super Bowl questions. We'll dig into it obviously a lot 28 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: more as we get closer to the actual game. We've 29 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: got two whole weeks before that happens, so uh, you know, 30 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: we'll start to dig into some of the top level 31 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: questions based on what we saw yesterday in the two 32 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: championship games, and uh, you know all that. Uh, and 33 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: let's just have some other weirdness as we closed out 34 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: the show. Before we do all that, though, go behind 35 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: the glass. Talk to our faithful producer, Senior Edward L. Murphy. Esquire, Murph, 36 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: what's up. We have to talk about the most important 37 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: thing that's gonna happen in the super Bowl, which is 38 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: not the game. It's that the NFL has to allow 39 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: the four Niners to wear They'll all why throw back. 40 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: So it's funny too because I you know, growing up 41 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: in the Bay Area. I have a text change with 42 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: a bunch of friends that I grew up with, and 43 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: we were texting obviously during the game yesterday and then 44 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: this morning one of my buddy's texts about that exact topic, 45 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: and one of the immediate responses was, please God no. 46 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: I hate those uniforms. I hope that they don't wear them. 47 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: I am personally, I am personally indifferent to them. Uh, 48 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: other than the fact that they wore them during you know, 49 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: during better times, during their more successful run, I'm sort 50 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: of indifferent to them. So I'm very curious whether or 51 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: not the NFL is gonna let this happen or not. 52 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: I mean, the Rams, it's like a it's a weird 53 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,519 Speaker 1: thing to fall with the uniforms. I know there was 54 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 1: like the Rams had an issue they but they had 55 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: a way two full seasons before they could change theirs. 56 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: But in the Super Bowl last year, they wore the 57 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: old I guess what you would call the throwbacks. But 58 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: then I read that the Rams wanted to like they 59 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: wanted to petition to make those their actual home jersey. 60 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: So the NFL was okay with it, which I want 61 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: them to do. Sure everyone does. But if that if 62 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 1: the Rams wore those last year, I don't see why 63 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: the foreigners couldn't wear the all white I think the 64 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: all white throwbacks are amazing. I think New Jersey itself, 65 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: with the black like drop shadow is it's great. That 66 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: being said, people are saying if they wore their actual 67 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: way jerseys, they would look not as good. But I 68 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: think the white jersey with the gold pants versus the 69 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 1: red Jersey's white pants would be okay. But I think 70 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: the all whites um are a little bit better. Those 71 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: all whites are gorgeous. Yeah. As I sit here and 72 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it, I mean, one, it just it 73 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: reminds me the Dion Sanders era of the fort forty 74 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 1: Niner football. And I have been one to say that 75 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily love the all one color jersey, but 76 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 1: I can kind of get behind the Niners all white ones. 77 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: Those are all right. Yeah, I know you're kind of 78 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: you kind of are off some of the color. Yeah, 79 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: I think I think some of them look like pajamas, 80 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: you know, the bills all red does. Yes, it looks 81 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: like a onesie or something. That those all white Niners 82 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: are just so sharp. So yeah, so I guess I'd 83 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: be okay with it. We'll see if the if then 84 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: I heard the immediate response was no. But now there's discussion, 85 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: so it might possibly happen. But luckily because Dave on 86 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: Twitter with there's a million tweets about the jersey matchups, 87 00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: the NFL is like scared into, like maybe we should 88 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: just into this. I mean, hey, look, you know, I'll 89 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: give Dave credit. He at least claims to be the 90 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: impetus behind USC and U c l A wearing their 91 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: respective home jerseys when they play each other, even if 92 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: the first year it it uh cost a penalty for 93 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: one team. Yeah, I think because uh USC, I think 94 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: both teams weren't supposed to do it. I think the 95 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: first year was at the Colisseum, and I think SC 96 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 1: had to take like a fifteen yard uh personal foul 97 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: penalty or something like that, or you know, unsports unlike 98 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: conduct penalty and so but to be sporting, I think 99 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: U c l A like kick the ball out of 100 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: bounds on a kick off or something like that. They did. 101 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: They did something to sort of even it out because 102 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: it was it was a silly penalty that nobody understood 103 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: why they were doing it, so like U c l 104 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: A in order to be sporting, did something to take 105 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: a penalty also kind of even things out. Anyway, That's 106 00:04:49,920 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: enough about that. Let's do some news. Most of the 107 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: news is coordinator related, uh so far today, and one 108 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: that we kind of talked about a little bit last 109 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: week but has become official now. Jason Garrett stays in 110 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: the NFC East. He's not unemployed for very long, and 111 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: he's now the offensive coordinator of the New York Football Giants. 112 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: And I know last week, Eddie, you said that, you know, 113 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: you were okay with that that you know, it wasn't 114 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: really a big deal. Um. Look, guys, there's talent there. 115 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: Um and Jason Garrett maybe not a great head coach, 116 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: he was pretty good coordinator though this time. Yeah, tons 117 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: of talent there. I mean, we've been super high on 118 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: these Giants pass catches and really their entire offense. Uh. 119 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: And you know, I think I've said this before, but 120 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones is gonna be one of my favorite late 121 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 1: round quarterbacks to target this this coming year. I don't know, Eddie, 122 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: I'll defer to you about you know, where you know 123 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: you land on Garrett. I I'm kind of with Marcus though, 124 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 1: there's a lot of talent there and it's gonna be 125 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: really hard for him to really screw things up. I 126 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: think totally as an OC. I mean, his offenses are 127 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: always great underneath him, and you have Jones and he 128 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: and Garrett play quarterback. I mean, besides the fact that 129 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: he's you know, went to Princeton so he's local. Was 130 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: a giant for what I believe the better part of 131 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 1: three or four seasons. Uh, He's dealt with the highest 132 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: pressure situation by being head coaches of the Dallas Cowboys, 133 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: So going to the Giants and o C there's zero 134 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: pressure on literally. The one negative is that this may 135 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: be a stepping stool for him to get a job 136 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: next year. I mean, best case scenario for keeping it 137 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: would be if the Giants are an average team, They're 138 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: an eight and eight team, He'd probably say one more 139 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: year and then get a job somewhere else, especially if 140 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: the offenses like on on the ink line, but having 141 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: the weapons of of Ingram and Shephard and I guess 142 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: Darrus Slayton is a player now. And plus you have 143 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: Golden Tate with Sake Kwana Daniel Jones, like you have 144 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 1: the pieces. They had a couple of old line guys. 145 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: They bring in Bill Callan too, which is a rumor 146 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: to help with the old line. Um. I like the staff, 147 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 1: and I just I saw some people just you know, 148 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: make still these people still make fun of Jason Garrett, 149 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: and I just don't get it because he's in my eyes, 150 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: and I think in people that have a brain's eyes, 151 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: he is a good coach, and especially a situation where 152 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: he just part of the staff, it is a great 153 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: scenario for the Giants. I think, I think where people 154 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: get sick of Garrett and you know, I think we've 155 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: all kind of done this to him in a way, 156 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: just the game management stuff. I mean, his his game 157 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: management has just been absolutely abysmal over time, just routinely 158 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: punting from inside your opponent's territory, just not being aggressive 159 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: enough on fourth and fourth and short when you have 160 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: an amazing offensive line that he had in Dallas. One 161 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: of the things I always took issue with with Garrett, 162 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: especially late in his tenure with the Dallas Cowboys, is 163 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: that it seemed like every time Dallas got knocked off 164 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: their script in the first half, you know, they get down. 165 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: You know, a couple of scores ten points something like that, 166 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: they come back in the second half and make no adjustments. Um. 167 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: I'm really interested interested to see if Garrett, now that 168 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: he's just just focusing on the offense in New York, 169 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: to see if he can actually um come background and 170 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: kind of maybe game plans some things, because it seems 171 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: like in Dallas he was just relying so much on 172 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: their talent. And that works to a certain extent. You 173 00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: can rely on Doc and Zeke and Cooper and all 174 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: these guys tell you out. But I'm excited to see 175 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: what Garrett can can scheme up. And Um, you know, 176 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if you'd necessarily deserved and o c 177 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: shot right out of that, right out of being you know, 178 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: forced out of Dallice. But at the same time, you 179 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: know there's a lot of talent there. Yeah, I mean, 180 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: I definitely think for Garrett this is a chance to 181 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,119 Speaker 1: sort of rehabilitate his image. Uh and as you mentioned, 182 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: kind of get back to being a head coach again. 183 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: So curious see how this works. Um, but there he is, 184 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: he stays in the division. Um. Yeah, I'm sure there 185 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: will be plenty of Twitter jokes and memes when they 186 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: when they play against each other. You guys see two 187 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: or um, Jason Witten said he'd wanted to follow Jason 188 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: Garrett to the Giants. Really yeah, I guess Whitten wants 189 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: to play one more year. And he said he'd be 190 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: willing to follow Garrett as some sort of like part 191 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: time player. I guess. Okay, yeah, I thought it was bizarre, 192 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: too interesting. Um, all right, well keep an eye on that. 193 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: Speaking of the Giants, Ben McAdoo apparently is a hot 194 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: commodity now. He's interviewing with the Jaguars uh for the 195 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 1: O C job along with Jay Gruden. McAdoo apparently is 196 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: also interviewing for an unspecified job with the Carolina Panthers. Uh. 197 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: He and Mike McCoy. Um. Maybe out of this group, 198 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: Mike McCoy seems the most surprising name, just because he 199 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: keeps getting fired like quickly from uh Bien. McAdoo seems 200 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: like another one Graham, who was a good coordinator, not 201 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: a great head coach. So maybe the year or so 202 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: away has had a chance to maybe to fix some things. Maybe. 203 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: I think if Jacksonville were smart, they'd hired Jake Gruden. 204 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: Um Gruden for what I mean, his tenure in Washington 205 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: obviously ended unceremoniously and very early this year. But I 206 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: always thought that Gruden did a pretty good job in 207 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: terms of just like dealing with the absolute nightmare that is, 208 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: you know, the Redskins organization at times. I mean, he 209 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: got the best out of that offense, and honestly, he'd 210 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 1: walk into a pretty similar situation in Jacksonville where he'd 211 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,079 Speaker 1: have to take over and uh and and right the 212 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: ship of a pretty shaky offense. I don't understand Mike 213 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: McCoy getting another chance. I mean, you've seen how many 214 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: times have we have we seen Mike McCoy go into it, 215 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: you know, go into a team, you know, either with 216 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: the Charges the Cardinals now and just be completely met. 217 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: I mean, what he got fired from two jobs within 218 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 1: a calendar year, that that should say a lot about 219 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: where he is now. Again, it is an unspecified job 220 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: at least as of the reporting yesterday that I read, Uh, 221 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: there was you know, A mentioned that that Matt Rule 222 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: has not hired a quarterbacks coach, so maybe that could 223 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: be the position interviewing for. But I managed I would 224 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: be shocked if he gets another O C job right away. Um, 225 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: it doesn't seem to fit into what Caroline is doing 226 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 1: either bringing in a retread. I don't know. I don't know. Um, yeah, 227 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: I just I don't know. For the sake of Christian McCaffrey, 228 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: I hope it's not Mike McCoy. Just just remember what 229 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: happened to David Johnson. Well, every run of Mike McCoy 230 00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: called was just to dive up the mid, right up 231 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: the middle. David Johnson's just running the back of his 232 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: left guard every place. So hopefully, yeah, I would pray 233 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 1: for Christian McCaffrey's sake that McCoy does not end up 234 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: as the o C in Carolina. Uh. Speaking of offensive coordinators, 235 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: this one maybe hits a little close to home for me. 236 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: The Eagles interviewing USC offensive coordinator Graham Harold for their 237 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 1: o C. Gig. I will say, having watched Harold to 238 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: coordinate the Trojan offense for a year, it would be fun. 239 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: It would be fun to see him in Philadelphia with 240 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. Uh. You know, if they could get some 241 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: of their wide receivers healthy will see what happens. But 242 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 1: it's a lot of air raid kind of RPO stuff. 243 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,199 Speaker 1: It's stuff that in theory fits with who Carson Wentz 244 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: is and what they like him to do. They gotta 245 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: get some pieces healthy. But otherwise, I mean, I think 246 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: you know, there's some potential for to be exciting. Absolutely 247 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: Eagles need some receiver help big time. This said this 248 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: upcoming draft, and they're they're likely going to get it. 249 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: They need some speed on the boundary. Maybe they'll get 250 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: too Shawan Jackson back for one more year, but they 251 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: desperately need it. Marcus, I'm waiting for a huge Carson 252 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: Wentz here. I'm I'm still so high on into his talent. 253 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 1: I I love, I think he's gonna be one of 254 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: the better quarterbacks a long term. It's just I'm waiting 255 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: for him to have a breakout season where everything kind 256 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: of he gets a little lucky, right, he gets you know, 257 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,439 Speaker 1: a couple of good receivers, he stays healthy. Uh, it 258 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: just kind of seems like Wins is not put it 259 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: all together. And it's not necessarily been his fault every year. 260 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: It's just he's gotten unlucky. No, I think that's I 261 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: think that's very fair because two years ago whatever, he 262 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 1: was on track and like to be the m v 263 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: p Uh. He gets hurt, right, Nick Foles comes in, 264 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: you know, they play well. Everybody's wondering what does this 265 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: mean for Carson Winz this year. Wentz stays healthy, plays 266 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: pretty well, but everybody around him kind of just disappears 267 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: because of injury. So you're right, they haven't been able 268 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: to kind of keep everything intact. So if it happens, 269 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: look if they can keep if they can keep Wins healthy, 270 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: if they can get some wide receivers, if they potentially 271 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 1: get Graham Harold in there to kind of bring a 272 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: more wide open offense um, this could be interesting. I'm 273 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: really excited to see what the Eagles can do on 274 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: offense upcoming year because WinCE going into their final four games. 275 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,839 Speaker 1: I mean granted all four of them are against the 276 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: NFC East and they you know, they went four now 277 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: against the NFC East whatever, But at the same time, 278 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: I mean Wentz carried that team, I mean they were 279 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: his number one receiver this year is Greg Ward to 280 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: close out there? How Sean Jeffrey got hurt? Uh? Yeah, Well, 281 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: I think wins is due to have a big year 282 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: and hopefully it's look and I will say this for 283 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: anybody who didn't necessarily follow USC football closely, if it 284 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 1: was not a great season on the field, but Graham 285 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: Harold uh lost his starting quarterback in the first week 286 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: of the season at some point, was down to his 287 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: third string quarterback and still found a way to move 288 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: the football and put up points. So if there's any 289 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: endorsement for Graham Harold, that's that's the one. Although selfishly 290 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: I'd like him to stay at Heritage Hall, but I 291 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: understand if bigger and better things are calling. So there 292 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: you go. That is pretty much everything you need to know. Alright. Uh, 293 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: the big question for today and I kind of caught 294 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: this last week. Greg Rosenthal kind of alerted me to 295 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: this via Twitter when he tweeted that Seahawks Twitter is 296 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 1: starting to turn on Pete Carroll and now there's chatter 297 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: after the last latest playoff exit that maybe it's time 298 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: for Pete Carroll to step aside, that the Seahawks fans 299 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: are starting to kind of get tired of it. They're 300 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: they're frustrated with Pete's stubbornness. I guess you would say 301 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: to play defense, established the run. We know that football 302 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: twitter is not much about establishing the run nowadays. Whatever, 303 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: but uh, there's there is some chatter now I don't 304 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: know that any of this chatter has come from the 305 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: Seahawks themselves. I think this is mostly just kind of 306 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: a Twitter frustration about watching the Seahawks team play over 307 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: and over again. But it does sort of beg the question, Graham. 308 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: I mean, we look at this offense and we sort 309 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: of wonder as as great as having Chris Carson was 310 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: when he was healthy, that was fantastic, but so much 311 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: of this offense sort of sputters, and then in the 312 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: fourth quarter they're like, hey, let'slet Russell Wilson do his thing. 313 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: So maybe a change it head coach or at least 314 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: they changed in coordinator would be better for us fantasy 315 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: wise if it happens. Sure, you know Pete Carroll has 316 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: the Seahawks have won ten or more games and seven 317 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: of their last eight seasons with with Carol. I mean, 318 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: he has just been phenomenal. He's been nails the same. 319 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: At the same time, I think we can also resign 320 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: to the fact that the Seahawks offense is not close 321 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: to what it should be, because You're right, every single 322 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: time we watched the Seahawks it seems like they should 323 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: be either leading in games or or at least closer 324 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: in games in the first, second, third quarter, and then 325 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: you know, by the time the game you know, comes 326 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: around wrapping around, the Seahawks need Russell Wilson to carry them. 327 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: Pat Thorman, he is an analyst over a Pro Football 328 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: focused a lot of really good smart stuff. Yeah, really 329 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: good tweet last week, um, and he pointed out that 330 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: the Seahawks in the first quarter this past year during 331 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: the regular season, they trailed on forty of their snaps. 332 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: That was the second highest rate in the NFL, just 333 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: in the first quarter. And by the time the fourth 334 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: quarter rolled around, like you just mentioned, they were one 335 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: of the team that didn't trail at all because Russell 336 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: Wilson was just leading them from behind, because their running 337 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: game would keep them in, you know, keep them relatively close. 338 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: But they just had to have Russell Wilson cook. Look, 339 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: I think the bigger issue here is Brian Schottenheimer's conservatism. 340 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: I think Pete Carroll's resigned the offense to the Schottenheimer 341 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: and and Schottenheimer just for for whatever reason. I mean, 342 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: he'll have a few good play calls at the right time, 343 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: you know, good play action play, and that'll kind of 344 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: uh keep I guess keep the Seahawks offense moving, but 345 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: I would love to see Seattle kind of embrace Russell 346 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: Wilson over the next couple of years, especially with these 347 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: two fantastic receivers that they have and Metcalfine Lockett. Um, 348 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: if they can embrace Wilson and just be a little 349 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: more pass heavy, I think Seahawks fans would be a 350 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: lot happy with Pete Carroll, right. And I think that's 351 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: the thing, right, I mean, especially what we saw from 352 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: DK metcalf in the back half of the season and 353 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. I mean, the guy showed I know that, 354 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: you know, everybody had questions about him after the combine, 355 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: his three cone drill and what have you. But look, 356 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: they figured out how to use him effectively. They figured 357 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: out how to highlight his strength, to make him into 358 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: a good receiver to the point that you know, we 359 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: are really the baby where he should fall in fantasy 360 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: drafts next year. I mean, I I jokingly asked the 361 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: question a few weeks ago whether or not he was 362 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: Seattle's number one wide receiver. Um, they it's like a 363 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: one A and one B one. I think it is 364 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: at this point, right, Um, So I mean I think 365 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: I think You're definitely right. I think they'd like to 366 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: see it open up. I mean, look, maybe they should 367 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: be in the market for for a Graham Herald something 368 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 1: like that. That's somebody who can open it up and 369 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 1: let Russell Wilson do his thing. What's funny, too, is 370 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: they would be so much better of a running team 371 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: if they did embrace the spread. I mean, if you 372 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: don't stop slamming the ball into eight man boxes every 373 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 1: single time, spread them out and move them around. And 374 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: it just seems like the Seahawks are just they're like 375 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 1: nipping at the heels of what they could be on offense. 376 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 1: And it's just basically at this right now. The last 377 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,959 Speaker 1: couple of years, it's just been Russell Wilson bailing them 378 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: out when they need him, and he's that good that 379 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 1: he doesn't. I mean, I do think there's something to 380 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: the fact that when they were short on running backs 381 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: and they needed help, the guy they turned to was 382 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch. If if nothing else, it was sort of 383 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: nostalgia for them, right exactly. Look, I love Marshawn Lynch. 384 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: I mean, Lynch is legitimately one of my favorite players 385 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: of all time. But then calling him off the streets 386 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: and then giving him touches in favor of Travis Homer. 387 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: I don't know, You're right, it was just purely a 388 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: nostalgia move. I mean, consider he had been what a 389 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: couple of weeks removed handing out to Keela shots in 390 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,880 Speaker 1: the Oaklands. Probably not in the best shape. I mean, 391 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: I love beast mode, but man, uh what he turned 392 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: what two points? I think his hardsper cary averages like 393 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 1: two point oh and his limited touches there with Seattle. 394 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, I'm with you. So, but the 395 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 1: other question is people are wondering whether or not they 396 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: are wasting the prime of Russell Wilson. Now, mind you, 397 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: he went to back to back Super Bowls. They won 398 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 1: one of those two, uh, And I know that. I 399 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,640 Speaker 1: feel like getting to a super Bowl is hard. It's 400 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: really really hard. And I know people are are you 401 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,479 Speaker 1: looking at that window and wondering how much longer it's 402 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 1: going to be open for the Seahawks. That one feels 403 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: sort of like handwringing for handwringing stake that they're wasting 404 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 1: his prime. I don't know, maybe I'm weird like that. 405 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: You're definitely have a point and you know the idea 406 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: that guys have kind of like had maybe I don't know, 407 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 1: disappointing career is like Aaron Rodgers, but just because they 408 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: haven't gotten to a bunch of Super Bowls or Drew 409 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: Brees just because he hasn't gotten a bunch of Super Bowls. 410 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you. Every single year it is 411 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: so hard and we see how hard it is every 412 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: single year to get to the game. And look, I 413 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 1: don't I don't think they're wasting Wilson's career, his prime 414 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 1: specifically too. It's just if the fact remains that, like 415 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 1: every single season, we're having this debate with Wilson and 416 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,719 Speaker 1: the Seahawks is like, what could this offense be if 417 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: they actually opened it up, if they actually let Russell 418 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: Wilson throw the ball more than thirty, you know, thirty 419 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 1: times a game? What would this thing look like? And 420 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: I think that's really what people want is we know, yes, 421 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: you've got to you've got to have some similts of 422 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: the run game in the NFL. I think, right, we 423 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,719 Speaker 1: know that by now. But the same time, you do 424 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: not want to build your offense around the run game 425 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 1: when your quarterback is Russell freaking will. I mean, he's 426 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: everything at every single corner. He proves that he's one 427 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,919 Speaker 1: of the three or four best quarterbacks in the NFL. 428 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: And and I just think that's really where a lot 429 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 1: of the stems from. His people want to see an 430 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: offense built around Russell and not built around the run game. Yeah, 431 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: I mean, look, if nothing else, it's just fun. Yeah, exactly, 432 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: It's fun to watch Russell Wilson run around and then 433 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: suddenly like find a guy thirty yards down the field 434 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: for a big play. Like that's just cool to watch. 435 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 1: But also, wouldn't it be nice to see Seattle throw 436 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: to get ahead instead of trying to run to get 437 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: ahead and and then and then run the ball. Suddenly 438 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: you're down two scores and your Russell Wilson has to 439 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 1: be a magician. Yeah yeah, yeah, good luck. So we'll see. 440 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: I don't expect there to be any coaching movement or 441 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: not Seattle, They're not gonna do anything. I think this 442 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: is just a group of frustrated fans kind of voicing 443 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: their frustration on on Twitter. One final thing here on Carol, 444 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: I think, if if anything, the most maybe the most 445 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: the biggest mistake he's made of the last couple of 446 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,919 Speaker 1: years is trusting his defense too much because he was 447 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: so used to back in those heyday years when they 448 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: were in the Super Bowl, they had an amazing defense. 449 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: Now their defense is either just average or maybe even 450 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 1: slightly below average. And I think that's kind of what 451 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,479 Speaker 1: bit him at the end of this past year is 452 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: the Seahawks were trying to rely on their defense to 453 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: keep them in games, and it was just clear to 454 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 1: I think most people that their their secondaries just nowhere 455 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: close to where it once was. Clowning clowne was taken 456 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 1: over games, but man, they're there. Their secondaries need some help. 457 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: I think I think some of it is one Pete 458 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: Carroll is by nature a defensive guy, and so he 459 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,640 Speaker 1: always sort of wants to lean on that. But also think, 460 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: you know, Greg Rosenthal made another good point on Twitter 461 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,120 Speaker 1: where he said, you know, Pete Carroll coaches, He's been 462 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: coaching that team like it's the team he wishes he 463 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: had and not the team he actually has, and perfectly 464 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: said that could have something to do with it. So, um, yeah, 465 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: it's fun to talk about. But like I said, I'm 466 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: pretty sure Pete Carroll is going to be the head 467 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: coach there next year and Brian Schottenheimer's likely going to 468 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: be the offensive coordinator. And I'm sure we'll get to 469 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: October and we'll still be I mean, the same conversation 470 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: about the seis definitely not wrong. All right. So we 471 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: had two championship games yesterday and Graham, we talked about 472 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 1: this before we started recording. I just look, I think 473 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: the matchup is going to be great. The championship games 474 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 1: themselves are sort of a letdown. Um, I think that's 475 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 1: fair let down there. I mean Chiefs Titans was close 476 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: after the first half and then you know, the Chiefs 477 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,360 Speaker 1: basically had the ball that entire third quarter and kept 478 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: Derek Carry off the field, and yeah, I think it 479 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 1: was kind of just hopefully it's a lead up to 480 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: a really good super Bowl because this matchup is fantastic. Yeah. Absolutely, Um, 481 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: so we get we get an all red Super Bowl, 482 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: which I think is I believe I read this morning 483 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 1: is the first time that has happened and all read 484 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: and we talked about the the nine er uniform situation. 485 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: What they will or will not wear. We'll see, but 486 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: it did give me a few questions right off the 487 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: top of my head after seeing what we saw on 488 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: Sunday in both the a f C and NFC Championship games, 489 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 1: and the first one is is Patrick Mahomes the best 490 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: running back in Kansas City. He's got a hundred and 491 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: six rushing yards on fifteen carries in the last two games. 492 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 1: I mean, Williams has like carries. I mean, I'm I'm joking, 493 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 1: but Mahomes is showing off a running skill that we 494 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: kind of knew he had, but he's really flashed it 495 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: big the last two weeks. So you're saying Patrick Mahomes 496 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: is the Ryan Fitzpatrick absolutely is. Uh yeah. Look, I 497 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: mean I thought Mahomes didn't run enough last year when 498 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: he was thrown for fifty touchdowns. I guess you don't 499 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: have to run the ball very much, but it always 500 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: seems like, you know, just watching the games and going 501 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: back and reviewing, it always seemed like Mahomes have like 502 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: rushing lanes and scrambling lanes that he just wasn't taking 503 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: and now he's taking them. That that rushing touchdown yesterday 504 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: was amazing. One of that was one of the best 505 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: rushing scores we've seen. That looked Lamar Jackson, Deshaun Watson, asked, 506 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: I mean he has the ability to to to make 507 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: those types of plays. Mahomes real quick. What is mahomes 508 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: running style though? To you, like, he's quick, but it 509 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: just he kind of just like leans forward. It looks 510 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 1: like he's stammering at times, but he's he's in control. 511 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 1: So I have always described Patrick Mahomes is like I've 512 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: always said, he plays quarterback like a shortstop, and I 513 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 1: think he runs like a guy who's like stealing basses. Yeah, 514 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 1: It's like he runs he sort of scrambles like a 515 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,719 Speaker 1: base runner, you know, like he's like trying to make 516 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: the turnaround second head and the third or something like that. 517 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: I think that's the best way I can describe it. 518 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,479 Speaker 1: I totally see that. Yeah, um, but yeah, I mean 519 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: I think that's that is an interesting dynamic. That's it's 520 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: an it's an added dimension to his game. One. I 521 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 1: think if you're if you are Robert Sale and you 522 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: are the forty Niners defense, one you have to look 523 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: out for in a couple of weeks, all of a 524 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: sudden that that maybe you didn't think about. But as 525 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: we talk fantasy wise, one of the things I know 526 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: we keep talking about is drafting a quarterback who can 527 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: get euros rushing yards. If this is something that we 528 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: see moving into next year that he's going to continue 529 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: to add to his game. Um, I mean, look, he's 530 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: gonna still get drafted. It's one of the top three 531 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 1: quarterbacks anyway. But man, this this is just such a 532 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: bigger thing for him. So Lamar is gonna go top 533 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: fifteen in every single draft, no doubt. Right. Where is 534 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: Mahomes going top thirties? Still? Yeah, I think I'll probably 535 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: still be a third round pick because I think people 536 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: still see the like the potential for him to throw 537 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 1: fifty touchdowns again is always there. Yeah, It'll be interesting 538 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 1: to see how what the difference in a DP is 539 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: between Lamar and Mahomes, because, as you mentioned, I mean, 540 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: even if Mahomes scrambles just a little bit more every week, 541 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: then that's I mean, that's just even more dynamite for me. 542 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: For this incredible offense. Had two hundred two eighteen rushing 543 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 1: yards during the season. He's had a hundred and five 544 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: and two games of the play So, uh, a hundred 545 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 1: and six I think is actually what it is. Um. 546 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: Speaking of running backs, you gotta pick one. Damian Williams 547 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: worhere he Mostard, where are you going? I mean, we'll 548 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 1: see what Tevin Coleman's UH three injury looks like. If 549 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: you're trying to play some showdown for for the Super Bowl. 550 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: We'll see what Tevin Coleman's shoulder injury looks like. If 551 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 1: he's out. It's probably most just because that fort run 552 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: game is going to travel and they're gonna they're gonna 553 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: try to run the hell out of the ball against 554 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 1: the Chiefs front seven. Man, We're just gonna be their 555 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 1: game plan. Were you surprised that Matt Breeda got zero 556 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: worked yesterday? I don't. I don't know what's going on 557 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: with Brea. I mean even just like in mop up duty, 558 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: like the second half or something. I don't know if 559 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: he's still hurt, because he obviously was dealing with another 560 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: injury in the middle of the season and really hasn't 561 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: gotten on the field at all. I mean, he came 562 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: back in Week fourteen, and since then he's got like 563 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: maybe fifty carries something like that total over the nineers 564 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: like last six or seven games. I don't know what's 565 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: going on with Brita, but you know we've seen from 566 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: Shanahan you know, he'll just ride the guy that's giving 567 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: them the best chance to win in that game. And 568 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 1: yesterday it was pretty clear it was we're heating Moastered. Yeah, 569 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 1: Brita played two snaps, got one Kerry for two yards, 570 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: which I must have blanked because I didn't. I don't 571 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 1: remember seeing that. I don't. Uh So, all right, Damian 572 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: Williams has played very well, has man. The numbers aren't 573 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: necessarily eye popping. I mean he had he had with 574 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,959 Speaker 1: the three touchdown game a couple of weeks ago against 575 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 1: the Texans. Um, but he's playing really really well right now. 576 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: I'm interested to see what Kansas City does, Like, I 577 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 1: don't think they're going to spend a top two or 578 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: three round pick on a running back this year. Um. 579 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 1: And if they don't, if they don't spend premium capital 580 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: pick on on you know, on running back, it'll be 581 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: interesting to see where Damian Williams goes because he he 582 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: might be just because people are so like, we're so 583 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: sick of him this year. That might be a really 584 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,360 Speaker 1: nice value if he's if he's like a fifth round pick, 585 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: because as a receiver he has been phenomenal for the Chiefs. 586 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: I mean, they were they were not only like not 587 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: only was Mahomes dumping the ball off to him in 588 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,679 Speaker 1: a few plays, like they scheme the ball to him 589 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 1: in the passing game, right, Yeah, I think and I 590 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: think that's Look, we came into the season hoping that 591 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: Damien Williams was going to be the guy, and we 592 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: went much of the year frustrated because he, you know, 593 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 1: doing injury and then just working other guys and they 594 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: trust him so much that I mean, Lashawn McCoy is 595 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: not playing him. He was a healthy scratch essentially, Yester. Yeah, 596 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: he's done right, He's not coming back back Yanina City 597 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: next year. Yeah, all right. Um, Sammy Watkins actually back. 598 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 1: He had over a hundred yards yesterday and fourteen. I 599 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 1: believe he had seventy six yards two weeks ago, and 600 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: so he had like twelve targets. I mean they threw 601 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,719 Speaker 1: him the ball a lot, a lot. Hadn't done anything 602 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 1: since week one of the season. Um, I mean is 603 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: this I would imagine in part it's just because they 604 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: are taking what the defense gives them. But he just 605 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: reminds us that, you know, when he's good, like he 606 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,239 Speaker 1: can be really really good. He can be It's just 607 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: we never know what we're gonna get with Sammy, and 608 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: more often than not, it's going to be the bad 609 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: end of of Watkins. I don't know if I don't 610 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,880 Speaker 1: know if he's back. Um. I always think, and I've 611 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: thought this entire year, that the Chiefs would have been 612 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 1: better off giving some of Sammy Snaps and Nicole Hardman. 613 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: Maybe we'll see. Maybe Hardman hasn't come along enough for 614 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: for Andy Reid and his route running isn't all the 615 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: way there. I don't know. But Watkins, it was good 616 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 1: to see the ceiling again yesterday from him. I mean, 617 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: he looked like the Buffalo Bill's version of Sammy Watkins. 618 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: And that version of Sammy was was incredible. I mean, 619 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: especially in his first two years, he was one of 620 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: the best young receivers in the NFL, and it just 621 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: kind of seems like he has not been able to 622 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: put it together since then. Um, and yesterday was just 623 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: another flash in the pan of what Watkins could have been. Yeah. 624 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: I just man, just he only had two targets against 625 00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: the Texans, and though one of them was a really 626 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: big play, and then yesterday just they just kept feeding 627 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: him the football and I'm like, but this is the 628 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins that people spent they late round pick on 629 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: hoping to get some production. He had one really bad 630 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: drop at other than that, I mean, he was phenomenal yesterday. 631 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: He was huge for them. One of the bigger talking 632 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: points matchups, if you will, the Super Bowl is going 633 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: to be the two tight ends, because we have arguably 634 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: the top two tight ends in the game facing off 635 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,719 Speaker 1: against each other. Yes, and I know they're not actually 636 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: facing off against one another. They're never gonna be on 637 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: the field at the same time. But whatever, Travis Kelsey, 638 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: George Kittle, you're making a lineup. Who you got, man, 639 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 1: I think it's Kittle. Even though the Niners are not 640 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: throwing the ball at all that the Niners have the 641 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: ability to try to really slow down Kelsey. And that's 642 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 1: kind of what we saw from the Titans yesterdays. They 643 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: really put a lot of a lot of bodies on Kelsey, 644 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: kind of took away that middle of the field look. 645 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: And I think that's why Watkins and Hill both had 646 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: big games against the Titans is because Tennessee was like, Okay, 647 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 1: we just saw Travis Kelsey go completely off the week before, 648 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: We're gonna try to take away the middle of the field, 649 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: and Patrick Mahomes being Patrick Mahomes, he and burn you 650 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: in a number of ways. The Niners have even more 651 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: talent to take away the middle of the field. And 652 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 1: even though the you know, Jimmy Garoppolo has not throwing 653 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: the ball at all, Marcus, I think Kittle is overdue 654 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: for a humongous game, and I think he'll have in 655 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. It's funny too, because they talked on 656 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: on the broadcast most of the day about how Kittle 657 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: hadn't had a target, and then Garoppolo went like an 658 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: literally an hour and a half without throwing the football. 659 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: I think he did not attempt to pass in the 660 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: entire third or not um and then his first past 661 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: attempt came in the middle of the four something like that. Yeah, 662 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: it was only one, but it was the kiddle. Yeah, 663 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 1: and it was the kiddle for like fifteen yards. So 664 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: which actually makes it because I would think it will 665 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: be hard for the Niners to hide Garoppolo again in 666 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. They've done a really good job the 667 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. I mean, look, he he had 668 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,959 Speaker 1: a couple of near picks against the Vikings, and at 669 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: that point, I feel like Kyle Shanahan's would have pulled 670 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 1: the plug on him throwing the football too much. He 671 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: had eight past attempts yesterday. Yeah, that's it. That was 672 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: the fewest in playoff history, fewest in playoff histories eight, 673 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: which is amazing. I mean, even it's amazing generally, it's 674 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,959 Speaker 1: even more amazing and exactly that happen. It's happening now. 675 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: I mean, if there's all of this analysis out there 676 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 1: that's you know, you gotta throw to win, and it's 677 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: all true. But at the same time, there are one 678 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 1: off games where like yesterday, the Niners just dominated on 679 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: the ground and just did not have to do anything 680 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: through the air. That's got to come around. You know, 681 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 1: we saw it. We saw it yesterday with Tannehill. Like 682 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: we talked about this on the podcast last week. Is 683 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: you know, will Ryan Tannehill and a J Creen and 684 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: all these guys have to you know, will there be 685 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: more volume and lo and behold they played the Chiefs 686 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: and there was. Tannehill had to drop back thirty one 687 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: times to throw their thirty four times to throw, and 688 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: that will probably be around the number. Garoppolo will be 689 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,479 Speaker 1: back there and we'll see Kettle and Deebo and Sanders 690 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 1: and all these guys normally involved. Yeah, I would think 691 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: so you spent you mentioned Sanders. I mean, Manuel Sanders 692 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: has been sort of a nonentity. Part of it, I 693 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: think is because they're not throwing the football a lot. 694 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 1: But I mean, if you had I think three targets 695 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: in the last two games, I think just two catches. 696 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: That's all it is. Though, Manny was was phenomenal to 697 00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 1: end the season for the Niners. Even though he was 698 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,719 Speaker 1: kind up and down in the box score, he was 699 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: always open. And it's only because you know, Groppolos thrown 700 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: at twenties six times for his last two games, and 701 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: some of those like some of them haven't even mattered. 702 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: Some of those dropbacks just don't even they don't even 703 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 1: running the ball so well, they've been ahead, you know, 704 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 1: they've just been dominating. Um, Yeah, I think it's gonna 705 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: be Although Deebo, Samuel man I mean, you want to 706 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: talk about a guy who really has flashed this not 707 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: only this year but especially lately so good. Um to 708 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 1: the point that they're they're getting him the ball anyway 709 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: they can, whether it's a receiver runner, they're just getting 710 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: him the football. Right now. I mean he's already one 711 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: of the five or ten best receivers after the catch 712 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: in the NFL. He is so explosive, he's he I mean, 713 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 1: he's essentially like a running back and they use him 714 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 1: as that. You know, Shanahan is just trying to get 715 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: him in space and it is it's working. Next year, 716 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: How how early will Debot and Manny go because I 717 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: think people have seen that these Niners want to be 718 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: extremely run heavy, right, but both Sanders and Deebo have 719 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 1: like just amazing ceilings in this offense too. I would 720 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 1: be surprised if they go off the board before like 721 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 1: the eighth or ninth right now. I think so too, Deebo. 722 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 1: It's a ninth round pick. I'm gonna have the all 723 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 1: about that, absolutely all about that in the ninth round. Um. Yeah, 724 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: it's funny too because there's sort of I don't want 725 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 1: to completely compare them to what the Rams are doing 726 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: last year, but when we saw a lot of Sean 727 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 1: McVeigh using jet sweeps and a lot of motion to 728 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 1: get the ball to like Robert Woods and that sort 729 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 1: of thing, and I feel like Kyle Shanahan has incorporated 730 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: at least a little bit of that into his offense, 731 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: especially in terms of getting the ball to Deebo Samuel recently. 732 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: So no doubt it's gonna be fun. So yeah, there. 733 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: You know, it's like I said, this is just the start. 734 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna have plenty more to talk about when it 735 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 1: comes to the super Bowl. It's two weeks away. Uh, 736 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 1: you know, we will definitely dig into it a little 737 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: bit more on the Wednesday before the game, so a 738 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: little more than a week from now, week and a 739 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 1: half I guess from now, So uh, stay tuned for that. 740 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 1: So there you go. Also, just a heads up, we're 741 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 1: gonna start trying to get some more guests on so 742 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 1: we'll be digging into our Our contact lists are Twitter 743 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: d ms for some folks, as you call it, your 744 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: your your rollodex, your Twitter, Yes, my Twitter rolodex, which 745 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: I'm sure there are people out there who were like, 746 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 1: what is a rolodex? Uh? Kids, it's uh, it was 747 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: like it was like your contacts app, but like on 748 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: little note cards. I know that sounds weird. Google it. Um. 749 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,720 Speaker 1: Before we get out of here, I've mentioned last week 750 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 1: this thing about j g I, how he's decided to 751 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: become a professional gamer. Um, this is his new career 752 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,759 Speaker 1: path now that I guess his NFL career looks like 753 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,400 Speaker 1: it's going to be over. It did not go well 754 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:34,359 Speaker 1: to start. Uh he's playing, Um, I believe he's playing FIFA. 755 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,840 Speaker 1: What it is? Uh? He did not win a single 756 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 1: match in his first tournament. So he joined the Philadelphia Union. Yes, 757 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 1: up in Philly and for for the MLS for FIFA. 758 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 1: T Yeah that's not great. Not great. Everybody else in 759 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 1: the tournament one at least two matches. Not only did 760 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,400 Speaker 1: he not win, he didn't get a draw. I mean 761 00:34:55,440 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 1: he just flat out lost every match he played in. Um, 762 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 1: look I don't. I am not the gamer that I 763 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: once was. I used to you know, be a big gamer. 764 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 1: But it did make me wonder, like, if there's a 765 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: video game pass present whatever that you were going to 766 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 1: go pro in? Is there when you have I've always 767 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,319 Speaker 1: been partial with the sports games like FIFA. Also love 768 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,239 Speaker 1: Rocket League. I'm terrible Rocket League. It's a lot of fun. 769 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 1: I'm absolutely horrible at it, but I always have so 770 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 1: much fun play in it. Um, what about you? What 771 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,799 Speaker 1: did you used to play? See my my last real 772 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:30,239 Speaker 1: gaming hurrah? Um. I was a big Tiger Woods golf guy. 773 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 1: Oh me too. Yeah, Yeah, I love Tiger Woods. Um, 774 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 1: and it was oh five A sports games, so it 775 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 1: were great. If if there was one, I was probably 776 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 1: gonna try to go pro and it probably would be 777 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 1: Tiger Woods. Um. I could never in FIFA. I could 778 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: never quite figure out like the set pieces. I was 779 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,840 Speaker 1: never really good at setting upset pieces, corner kicks and 780 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,440 Speaker 1: that sort of thing. So that's sort of sort of 781 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: hindered me. UM trying. I mean, if we want to 782 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,359 Speaker 1: dig way back into the into the crates, I mean 783 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 1: a Techmo super Bowl probably would have been um, but 784 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: rest in peace, Tiger with Golf, those games were really 785 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: it was so fun. Then they tried to reprise it 786 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,479 Speaker 1: with Rory. Yeah, it's not the same. It's not the same. 787 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know, Eddie, did you have with 788 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,359 Speaker 1: you have one where you might have gone pro? And 789 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 1: I think they want to be closest too, was a 790 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:17,280 Speaker 1: few years back in the NHL games who were relayed 791 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 1: as much recently. The one thing that would hurt me 792 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,839 Speaker 1: was because I was good at both options. But there 793 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 1: was the game mode where you could play as the player, 794 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,880 Speaker 1: so the control is different than when you're controlling the 795 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,280 Speaker 1: entire team, and because I did kind of both equally, 796 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,279 Speaker 1: it probably hindered my skills on one. But I was 797 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,239 Speaker 1: pretty good at both mad and that was never good enough, 798 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: saying like call of duty, I'm good, I'm not enough 799 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 1: to go pro, so right, NHL would probably that's the 800 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,799 Speaker 1: thing with all calls. I mean, I'm fine at call 801 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,120 Speaker 1: of duty, but there's there are men and women out 802 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 1: there that like live and breathed, and they were always 803 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 1: destroyed eyes closed, better than me. Exactly. Yeah, no, that 804 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 1: one and bad was the same one, Like I, okay, 805 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,879 Speaker 1: I could play for fun, but like, yeah, I don't. 806 00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,439 Speaker 1: I don't. I can't play on the level that that 807 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,799 Speaker 1: the pros play on. Yeah, I I played one person 808 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,799 Speaker 1: who was probably uh years ago could have been close 809 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 1: to pro and just like audible like see my defense 810 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,600 Speaker 1: audible out of stuff, and then saying with my offensive sets, 811 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:11,440 Speaker 1: but audible their defense into stuff. And then just every 812 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 1: play was just like stopped, stopped, quitting gaining yard, and 813 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is this is what it's like. 814 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 1: It's scary, it's not it's not even fun anymore at 815 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 1: that point, really isn't fun.

Um, it is wild. 818 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 1: I for a while, I was like trying to get 819 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,640 Speaker 1: into Overwatch League, not necessariy to play, but just to 820 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 1: kind of follow along with. Um, I'm amazed at how 821 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,160 Speaker 1: much player movement there is. Like guys switched team, Guys 822 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 1: and girls switched teams all the time. Um. And it's like, 823 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,719 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're into it, like you understand it, 824 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,560 Speaker 1: you follow it and you you know, I was out 825 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:51,279 Speaker 1: the other day, uh walking around in uh at the 826 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,399 Speaker 1: Grove in downtown l A or whatever, mid l A.

Like it's it's really cool. It's a really 829 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 1: cool time to be a game or get into the 830 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 1: space because I mean there's so much money flowing into it, 831 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 1: not only from like just a tournament perspective, but investment. 832 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 1: I mean there are so many people getting in getting 833 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 1: into it.
