John Middlecoff therein out podcast, 2 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: I was waiting to hit record and I was like, Okay, 3 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,119 Speaker 1: this game is over all of a sudden, Miles Garrett 4 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: just swung a helmet at Mason Rudolph. How does that happen? 5 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, to god, question is he gonna get 6 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: spending for the season? Like? How did that just happen? 7 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: So we'll dive into this Thursday night football. What a disaster? 8 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: How did the Browns win a game and just probably 9 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: lose their best player for like a month. How do 10 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: you swing a helmet? I've never seen that. I've been 11 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 1: watching that the NFL for twenty five years. That is 12 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: insane that that is a I mean, we'll dive into 13 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: that here in a second. We got rapid Fire Friday. 14 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: Some thoughts that I saw around the league, you know 15 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: this this week college football stuff, just some different things 16 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: that jumped out to me. I thought I'd started adding 17 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: a little segment rapid Fire Friday, Kaepernick, the workout, some 18 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 1: thoughts I have on that. I've been involved with a 19 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: lot of workouts. Uh, we can dive into that, will 20 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 1: go game by game on Sunday, as we do every 21 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: Friday podcast and then at the end at John Middlecoff 22 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: is my Instagram handle, my Twitter handle with my Instagram 23 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 1: d MS wide open you guys.

Is that the most Freddie Kitchens moment 28 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: of the season. They get a big win, they're kicked. 29 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: The Steelers asked. They made Mason Rudolph look like a 30 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: I mean an a a F level player and then 31 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: with you know, thirty seconds left their best defensive player, 32 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: one of the best young players in football for I 33 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: don't know Mason Rudolph talking shipped to Miles Garrett all game. 34 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: I doubt it. He goes after Mason Rudolph rips off 35 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 1: his head helmet and then swings his helmet at Myles 36 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: Garrett or excuse me, at Mason Rudolph and connects. Listen. 37 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to overreact. I personally like I say 38 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: it all the time. I watched football for the violence, 39 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: but not that type violence. I watch it for between 40 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: the place and people getting tackled. That was you know, 41 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: if you told me he suspended for the rest of 42 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: the season, that might be a little extreme, but like 43 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: the next four or five games, I that that that 44 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: is idiotic. The Browns came into this game leading the 45 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: league and penalties. Freddy Kitchens finally has a decent night calling, 46 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: you know, decent place, score some red zone touchdowns and 47 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: there is You're either a discipline team or not. And 48 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: in football, it starts with the head coach. It's just 49 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: that simple that there's there's no way around it, end 50 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: of story, period, point blank, and that that play from 51 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: Myles Garrett couldn't have been any stupider. You're just winning 52 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: the game. You just beat you know, you're in division 53 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: the team you're chasing to you to throw that helmet 54 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: at Mason Rudolph's face and honestly, he's smiling now you 55 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: didn't even face him after he domain does not act 56 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: like Mason Rulph did anything tonight. That's the other thing. 57 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: It would be one thing if it was a guy 58 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: that lit you up from four or five touchdowns. You know, 59 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: like when a guy hits a home run at you, 60 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: you buzz the towers. Mason Rudolph was horrendous i'd have to. 61 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: I've there were two picks in the last ten minutes 62 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: before I walked in the office to record this. He 63 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: might have three picks on the game. Will be double 64 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: check on the box score. Uh no, he has four. 65 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: Excuse me, I think he has four interceptions on the game. 66 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: That play, though, symbolizes Freddy Kitchens. That play symbolizes the 67 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: Browns in a game where they're winning at home, celebrating 68 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: prime time Thursday night football. You swing a helmet at 69 00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: the opposing quarterbacks face. You're the best defensive player on 70 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: the team. What are you doing? How is that tolerated? 71 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: You know, these type things are tolerated in practice, clearly 72 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: when you lead the league and penalties, you know you. 73 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: I think I saw a quote the other day that 74 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: actually pretty good. We we are what we tolerate. That's 75 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: what the Browns tolerate. That that play was very Brown's 76 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: And I'll defend Baker Mayfield a little bit, even though 77 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: I haven't loved some of his reactions, but I thought 78 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: Troy Aikman had a good point tonight. He said the 79 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: most frustrated he was in his NFL career was year 80 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: two because of the first year you're you know, you're 81 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: you're a rookie. You're just kind of going, you're kind 82 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: of swimming. It's not really your fault. The team sucks. 83 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: By year two, you're taking ownership. You your team still 84 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: isn't very good, and it starts wearing on you and 85 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: you can mentally break. And he even said he thought 86 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: Baker battled the last couple of weeks. I would agree 87 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: he made a great throw. Tonight made some place So 88 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: tonight was Baker played well. Blake. Baker played winning football. 89 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: The offense played winning football, and really so did their defense, 90 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: picking off Mason Rudolph left and right. The kicker was terrible. 91 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: But for the Browns, like, that's a very brown z 92 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: in play. To end on that note, how how does 93 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: that happen? How could that possibly happen? I I just 94 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: don't get it. But you can't avoid your true colors 95 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 1: because they always eventually come out. And this team is 96 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: about to be four and six. They're clearly really talented. 97 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: You know you're watching them night and you go, God, 98 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 1: Baker's Baker can play a little bit. O'Dell is a freak, 99 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: Jarvis is a monster. God Nick Chubb top five back 100 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: in the league, Kareem Hunt slap slap human major slappy, 101 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: but god, he can play. You know, you got Myles 102 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: Garrett screaming off the edge, you got the DBS making plays. 103 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: But that's that's the Cleveland Browns. That's why they're always, 104 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: you know, at best eight in Nate and they're rarely 105 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: hate Nate. I mean usually they're five six wins. That 106 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: that's cannot happen. And you know, it's things like that 107 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 1: where you wonder, we got all this talent and we 108 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 1: just got a discombobulated, undisciplined mess. How are we? How 109 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: are we in this situation? How are we four and six? 110 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: How are we gonna end up seven and nine in 111 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: a year where nine and seven makes the playoffs. It's 112 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: an embarrassment, it really is. And you know, when the 113 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: fight was breaking out, it was hard to tell what 114 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: was going on, But when you watch the aftermath of it, 115 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 1: it's just it's it's just unacceptable. And it falls on 116 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: Kitchen's watch, it just does. It's just it's just the 117 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: way football works when you're when you're the headman. Now, 118 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,239 Speaker 1: when you're also the headman or the GM or the coach, 119 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: and you see Mason Rudolph play like tonight. Let me 120 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: start by saying, I think we forget sometimes. I saw 121 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: on social media everyone was like, god, Thursday night football. 122 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: This is gross, this is sick, this is I can't 123 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: watch this anymore. Yea Thursday football. Once we get path 124 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:05,239 Speaker 1: about Halloween, expect the bad game. Both these two teams, 125 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: who I happened to bet on last week, both of them, 126 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: one on the Steelers made me some money. One against 127 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: the Browns. They they gotta give them. Tip my hat 128 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: to them. They cost me some cash, but they they 129 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: got the job done. Against the Bills, played in very, 130 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: very physical games. I mean they weren't quite nine or 131 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: Sea Seattle physical, but they were on the high end 132 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: last weekend of physical games, defensive battles, just violent games. 133 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: And then seventy two hours they gotta play again. And 134 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: for the Steelers, you know, two and a half days later, 135 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: you gotta travel that that's expect bad products, Expect a 136 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: shitty game. So when I saw tonight everyone acting like 137 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: this was just a normal Sunday night game that was 138 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: being played poorly, I had to throw a red flag 139 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: in my head. I didn't want to give the takeaway 140 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: on Twitter. I've been working on that. I just I'm 141 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: not giving free takes away on Twitter. I'm saving them 142 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: for my podcasts in my periscopes, just because I don't 143 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: want people stealing thoughts. But I wanted to tweet like 144 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: everyone chill out like this. This is remember like five 145 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: six years ago when every player was complaining this is why, 146 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: because their bodies can't handle it. Can you imagine having 147 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: like a you know, the equivalent of few was like boxing, Like, 148 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: there's a reason you don't box like back to back weekends. 149 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: Usually it's like three or four months in between bouts 150 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: at most. In football, there's a reason you don't play 151 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: every day or every couple of days. There's a reason 152 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: you play every seven days. In the NBA, you go 153 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: back to backs. In baseball, you can have a week 154 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: of straight of games. It's not the way football works. 155 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: These Thursday night games, which again I like, gives me 156 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 1: something to talk about. They're the highest rated product on television. 157 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: I'm not saying I want them to go away, but 158 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,959 Speaker 1: I expected to look shitty, so I'm not shocked when 159 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: it looks this bad. And a young quarterback that's a 160 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: slow processor. As a buddy of mine in the NFL 161 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: compared him, and it was a good cop. He's like 162 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: a young version of Nick Foles. When Nick Foles was young, 163 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,079 Speaker 1: he was a very slow process. He's he's sped it 164 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: up a lot as he's gotten older, obviously that Super 165 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: Bowl run and even last year. He can play at 166 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: a quicker speed. Everything Mason does is slow. Like Mason, 167 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: pull the trigger, throw the ball. You know this is 168 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: not you're not in college. You know Oklahoma State practice field. 169 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: This is the National Football League. You're playing a game. 170 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: You gotta get rid of the ball now. Tonight a 171 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: couple of his wide receivers dropped that they were doing 172 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: some cheap shots from the Cleveland Browns. But he was 173 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: bad tonight, and I think sometimes we see younger quarterbacks 174 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: in this situation. I'm not some Mason Rudolph fan at all, 175 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 1: but I expect them to play poorly. It's just not 176 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: an environment that's conducive for them to succeed. You have 177 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: no time to implement a game plan, you're still sore 178 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: and tired from the previous game. You're gonna look bad. 179 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: You know, Baker has been through this now a year. 180 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: This is Mason's what his the ten games so his 181 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: ninth start. It's just there's nothing really you can do 182 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: to prepare for this type situation. And the Browns may 183 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: have a shitty record, but there are a talented Now 184 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: we'll see how they looked at you or next week 185 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: when Miles Garrett's on the suspension list. I trying to 186 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: think there have been some moments in Major League Baseball, 187 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: you know YouTube, like the seventies and eighties, when guys 188 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: take a bat out of the picture that's kind of 189 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: similar to Miles Garrett stealing the quarterbacks helmet and swinging 190 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 1: at the quarterback. That's that's an unheard of move. If 191 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,559 Speaker 1: that's If that doesn't symbolize the Cleveland Browns, and I 192 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: don't know what does. Okay, let's get into something, uh 193 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: a new segment that we'll do on Friday's if I 194 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: have enough little topics that you know, kind of sparked 195 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: my interest during the week, and we'll call it rapid 196 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: Fire Friday. And I'm just gonna hit on a couple 197 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: of different things that you know, either came to my 198 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: attention or you know I'm hot on. Then I want 199 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: to get off of my chest. Uh So, rapid Fire Friday, 200 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 1: Rapid Fire Friday. Kind of like the sound of that. 201 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: I just made it up earlier today, start with this, 202 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: the NFL and football in general had a had a 203 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: massive muscle flex five day stretch. Thursday Night Football highest 204 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: rated show on Thursday. L s U Alabama, highest rated 205 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: college football game in the last eight years. Sunday Night 206 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: Cowboys Vikings crushed, so did Green Bay and uh in Carolina. 207 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: Monday Night Football was the highest rating Monday night football 208 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: game of the year. Locally where I live, it's the 209 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: highest rated Monday night football game of all time. Now, 210 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: you know in the nineties and eighties with Montana and 211 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: Young I don't have those numbers, but in terms of 212 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: the Internet age, modern day, it was higher than the 213 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,719 Speaker 1: highest rated game of the last twenty years, which was 214 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: Patriots nine Ers two thousand twelve did a thirty share 215 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 1: in the Bay Area, almost eight thousand people watched. So 216 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 1: remember a couple of years ago when the media and 217 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: the guy they can be a little group thinky and 218 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: they ran to this kind of notion that football was dying. 219 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: And if listen, I love the NBA, I follow a 220 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: lot of NBA media. Basketball's to overtake the lead the NFL. 221 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: You know, come on, it's is how long can NFL 222 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: be on top? They just had eight hundred thousand people 223 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: in the Bay Area did a thirty share on a 224 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: regular season game watch Seattle on Monday Night football. The 225 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: game did like a sevent team was higher rated than 226 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. The forty Niners sneaky are one of 227 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: the league's biggest brands. So why immediately less than twenty 228 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: four hours after that game they got flexed into two 229 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 1: other Sunday night games. But football has some built in advantages. 230 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 1: I say it all the time. It's number one built 231 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: in advantage is the setup of the sport. You play 232 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: once a week, every game matters. In basketball, their own 233 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: players don't think the games matter. They don't even play 234 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: like who cares? Can you imagine football player healthy skipping 235 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: a game. Baseball, clearly, no one gives a shit about 236 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,319 Speaker 1: a large percentage of the game because guys take off 237 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: games a year just to naturally rest. And I don't 238 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: blame them. Hundred six two games way too many held. 239 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 1: The baseball schedule to keep people locked in should be 240 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,839 Speaker 1: about a hundred games, and the basketball schedule should be 241 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: about sixty. Football is perfect Man sixteen games in college twelve. Uh, 242 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: the urgency of every game matters, and then the urgency 243 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: of the big games, whether it's l s Obama, whether 244 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: it's the Cowboys, the Vikings, whether it's the forty Niners 245 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: in Seattle Health Thursday night game that Raiders charge Your 246 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 1: game meant something? You feel it, man, you really do. 247 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 1: And the American sports consumer tells you because they watch, 248 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: whether they stream it, whether they have the bundle, however, 249 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: they consume the football, They find a way to it, 250 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: and they bet it. They play fantasy football. Do you 251 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: ever try to play fantasy baseball? I mean, was that cool? 252 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: And probably like oh eight fantasy basketball daily fantasy is cool, 253 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: but just fantasy basketball in general is a little too intense. 254 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: But the NFL, and like I said, football in general, 255 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: because college football plays a huge role in this too, 256 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: is just what we consume at a much higher level 257 00:13:55,800 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: than any other sport. The college football playoffs. Listen, I'm okay. 258 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: If Oregon ends up making it at the fourth seed, 259 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: you get l s U. Let's say they win the 260 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,839 Speaker 1: SEC Ohio State. Let's say they win the Big Ten, 261 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: Clemson runs the table, wins the S S, A, C. C. 262 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: I'm cool with Oregon being the fourth team. But I 263 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: will not argue that I think Oregon is better than 264 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: Alabama because the one lost Alabama team and if they 265 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: beat Auburn at Auburn, it makes it hard to justify 266 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: while Oregon was a conference champion. Yeah, beside Utah, the 267 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: conference was terrible. It was awful again. I'm ready for change. 268 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: I'm okay not seeing Bama. But if Oregon gets that opportunity, 269 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: and it's probably fifty fifty might even be lower. They 270 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: might not, But if they do and are when the 271 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: conference something, you know, let's say Bama plays crappy down 272 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: the stretch, you know, because two was not this healthy whatever, 273 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: you better not shipp the bed against l s U. 274 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: You can lose, But if you get boat race and 275 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: lose by thirty or forty, I don't end up. I 276 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: love the Pack twelve, I love West Coast football. I 277 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: and I'm already kind of off the bandwagon and even 278 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: defend him because they haven't deserved to be really defended 279 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: against definitely the SEC in the Big Ten. But if 280 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: if you play that game against the SEC and L 281 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: s U, you should lose. But if you, let's say, 282 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: lose by thirty points, it'll be hard to ever justify. 283 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: You won't be taken seriously anymore. So if that opportunity 284 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: does arise, you better take advantage of it and put 285 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: your best foot forward. And one listen, I thought Mario 286 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: crystal Ball was kind of a fraud clown. When I 287 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: say clown, like shouldn't have been the head coach at 288 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: one of the big You know, Oregan is the top 289 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: six or seven job in the country. You have unlimited resources. 290 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: Kids will go from l A to Oregon no problem. 291 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: They're out recruiting every team in the in the conference 292 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: by a mile. Uh. And he shut me up because 293 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: he's had a really good He's had a really good season, 294 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: he really has. They they've they've played really well, and 295 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: they're physical. They're clearly really talented. But that one lost 296 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: Auburn might come act to buy it them and that 297 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: was kind of on him. He got a little conservative, 298 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: especially when his team came out firing. But it all 299 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: might be a moot point. I guess if Alabama runs 300 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: the table and we know the SEC just gets treated. 301 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: But I do think there'll be a cry for a 302 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: new team though. How's it even arguable? Too? Uh? And 303 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: those three wide receivers you know, on any given day, 304 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: could win the National Championship, Like they could upset L. 305 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: S U if they played him again and then beat 306 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: Ohio State. I wouldn't pick them too, but it could happen. 307 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: I don't think Oregon is capable of winning the National 308 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: Championship where Alabama would be. But we've seen saving enough. 309 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: I've just you know it's time for a change. The 310 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: second someone tweeted at me, the second round wide receivers 311 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: this year have really done pretty well. At least four 312 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: of them half and I wrote them down. Deemo Samuel 313 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: for the forty Niners, who you know, until they traded 314 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: for Romaangel Sanders was their best wide receiver. A J. 315 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: Brown for the Titans, McCole Hardiman for the Chiefs, who 316 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: might run a four zero in DK Metcalf for Seattle. Sometimes, 317 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 1: you know, you can find every year there's a really 318 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 1: good crop of guys that were great value in a 319 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: certain round. And the second round wide receivers this year 320 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 1: really are gonna have an impact on this league for 321 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: a long time, Like Debot, A J. Brown, Hardeman, and 322 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: DK Metcalf are gonna be playing for a while. Watching 323 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: Dk Metcalf live listen. He's really stiff, so it's gonna 324 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: be hard for him as he ages to ever get 325 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 1: more fluid because he's just it's gonna be tough for 326 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: him to turn in space. But his physical nature and 327 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,400 Speaker 1: he went against Richard Sherman in terms of run blocking. 328 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: He was not scared. Now Richard would throw him off 329 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: sometimes they had some good battles. I was really impressed 330 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: watching DK Metcalf live again. Not being scared is a 331 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: huge checkpoint for me as a rookie, and he was 332 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: not an He made some place Now he just can't 333 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: really turn in space Hardeman. Is there a chance he's 334 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: the fastest chief? I mean, he had a touchdown last 335 00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: week where it looked like he was going on a 336 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: hundred miles an hour. A. J. Brown has been really 337 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: good this year. I've seen him make multiple big plays 338 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 1: for the Titans. He should only get better as their 339 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: quarterback position kind of stabilizes in the future, and then 340 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 1: Debo is gonna be on the forty nine for seven 341 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: eight years, like he should have a very very solid career. 342 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: Good year for second round wide receivers. Okay, let's dive 343 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: into the Kaepernick workout. And uh, I think, like most people, 344 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: I I got this thing, red flag, I don't quite 345 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 1: understand why the NFL is running this. Uh. It reminds 346 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: me a little bit like the government, definitely in my state, 347 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: thinks they know everything. Yet most people in the government 348 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: are just from academia. They've never worked in business, yet 349 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: they're allowed to regulate the business. It's like, bro, you 350 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 1: don't even know what's going on. It's why my state 351 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: is so you know, just put it simply kind of 352 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 1: sucked up. It's pretty anti business state, despite having so 353 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 1: much success and making so much money, because so many 354 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: people in the uh, you know, in the government my 355 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: mom worked in the government for a while, don't really 356 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 1: know what's going on. You know. They're just a tad 357 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: out of touch. And I think the NFL, like the 358 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: NFL League office, is out of touch with the way 359 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: the teams actually operate. I don't think they have any clue. 360 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: They work nine to five jobs. I'm not saying necessarily Rogerdell, 361 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like his minions, most of them have 362 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 1: no clue how a football operation operates. They know how 363 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: to sign television deals, they know how to operate, like 364 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: get teams together in league meetings and make money. They're 365 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 1: good at making money. They got no clue how to 366 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: build a football team or set up a workout. When 367 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: I first got to the NFL, I was in charge 368 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 1: of picking these guys up at the airport for workouts. 369 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: Every scout, every general manager has been a million workouts. 370 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: It's literally what they do. It's like lifeblood of of 371 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 1: what they do, working guys out, getting a feel for 372 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 1: if guys are in shape. It is to put this 373 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 1: workout on a Saturday. To me, it feels like the 374 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: NFL desperately wants this to go away. They have tried 375 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,719 Speaker 1: to get out of politics right and just want this 376 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: guy to get a shot just so everyone shuts up. 377 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 1: So they're setting this thing up. Who would set it 378 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: up on a Saturday. I never heard of a Saturday workout. 379 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: Workouts in the NFL happened on Monday or Tuesday. They 380 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 1: do Saturday in the fall. You know what happens on 381 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 1: Saturday during the fall. You're either traveling to who you're 382 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: gonna play that Sunday because you know the NFL plays 383 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: on Sunday, or you're at home getting ready for the game. 384 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: It's like the one day a week, it gets time 385 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: to spend with your family or your college scouts or 386 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: at college games. And then for Hugh Jackson, one of 387 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 1: the all time frauds too somehow, and I know he's 388 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 1: like the NFL contacted me. Bullshit. You are a You 389 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 1: are a media horror. You couldn't wait to get involved 390 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: in this production or whatever you want to consider this, 391 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: but it's already playing out to be. You know, some 392 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: teams aren't gonna be there, and they're gonna get drug 393 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: through the mud on social media. Like I'm just using 394 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: some random team like where's Seattle? Where are the Nighters? 395 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 1: I don't know playing a game at Auburn Georgia, at 396 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: USC Oregon. I'm just making up college games wherever. That's 397 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: what these guys do for a living. Work Out on 398 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: a Saturday is beyond stupid. This should be on Tuesday. 399 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: Here's the other thing, Like you watch the combine, not 400 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: everyone is super locked into every drill part of workouts? 401 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: Are you get them taped? And to tape this drill 402 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: every team in the league is gonna have it now. 403 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: I do think you'd want to send a scout there 404 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: because you'd want to talk to Kaepernick. I also think 405 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: if you were that given scout, you would probably be 406 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 1: a little nervous about the questions you can ask him, 407 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: Like if you asked him, Hey, Colin, are you gonna 408 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: stand for the anthem? Hey Colin, do you want to 409 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: keep playing football? Well? What if he tells the press 410 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: of all those questions, then it becomes an even bigger deal. 411 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: You're wearing you know, I'm wearing my Dallas Cowboys pull over. 412 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: It Just you know, the NFL has had multiple years, 413 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 1: like all the teams in the league to work this 414 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: guy out. Obviously Seattle and balt More brought him in, 415 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:02,719 Speaker 1: but all these teams and they wanted to work them out. 416 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: They can fly him in any at moments notice. So 417 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: I I don't quite understand this whole production. I have 418 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 1: no clue why the league office was involved in setting 419 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: it up. I don't want to call it a sham 420 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: because if teams are legitimately going and I think someone 421 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: I saw before I recorded this there was like eleven 422 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 1: teams have always already scheduled to go but on Saturday. Man, 423 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 1: it really makes no sense. It's just like the protocol 424 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: the way the league works on Tuesday's typically you work 425 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,439 Speaker 1: out street free agents. You work out guys maybe younger 426 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 1: players that are out of the league, just to keep 427 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: tabs on them. You might not even be looking to 428 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 1: sign them. You're always just working guys out just in 429 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 1: case you get an injury. That is the day the 430 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 1: league operates. Why because Tuesday, you know, you've got four 431 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 1: or five days until your next game. Uh, you've got 432 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: a little breathing room. Your your assistant coaches are game planning, 433 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: like your head coach and general manager can do some stuff. Now, 434 00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 1: they wouldn't be able to fly to Atlanta, you know, 435 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,400 Speaker 1: on a Tuesday, but that they definitely could send maybe 436 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: their number two in command there where You're not gonna 437 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 1: send your number two in command to this workout on 438 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 1: a two on a Saturday afternoon during the season. That's 439 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: that's unheard of. That's that's insane. So this this just 440 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: seems like an out of touch, uh misstep by the 441 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: league office who has consistently made them, you know, over 442 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 1: the years when it comes to football stuff that they're 443 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: good at making money bad at football. Okay, let's do 444 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: uh should I name this segment maybe the Sunday minute. 445 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: We spent about a minute on each game turns into 446 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: maybe a little bit more in a minute. But I'll 447 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: just fire through all the games, wrote them all down, 448 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: and the spread Cowboys at the Lions. This game actually 449 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: doesn't have a spread because we don't know who the 450 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: quarterback is. I would imagine everything I've read that Matt 451 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: Stafford will not play. I mean, he's got broken bones 452 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 1: in his back. Think about this Matt Stafford whose wife 453 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,439 Speaker 1: had a brain tumor and has broken bones in his back. 454 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: You have to pull the guy back to not play. 455 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: Think of how different the like in the NBA is 456 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: in the NFL. I mean the NBA COUI just takes 457 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: off games, like dudes just take off games. Anthony Davis, 458 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,959 Speaker 1: I'm just shoulder kind of. I'm off Matt Stafford. You 459 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: have to tell him, bro, we're not gonna give you 460 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 1: a helmet. It's like, hey man, go be with your wife. Like, 461 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 1: hey man, your back is broken. The mindset of football 462 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 1: players is so much different than the other sports. It's 463 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: not even funny. I've always been a Matt Stafford guy 464 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: sucks his backs broken because he was having a good season. 465 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 1: Must win game. Here for Jason Garrett coming off a 466 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: bad loss to the Vikings. And when I say a 467 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: bad loss, because the Vikings are a good team, I 468 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 1: just mean the way that game happened. You gotta win 469 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: against Jeff Driscoll if he's the starting quarterback, it's you 470 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: just have to. The Lions past defense is terrible. That 471 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 1: should go nuts. Amari Cooper, who's having a career year, 472 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: should just light him up. Saints that Tampa this game 473 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: is weird. I kind of like the Bucks plus five 474 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: and a half. Uh. You know the Saints just got 475 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: molly whop. You think they bounced back. Well, Tampa's really 476 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: played pretty well on offense these last several weeks, are 477 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 1: scoring a bunch of points as long as Jami's doesn't 478 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 1: turn the ball over big if because at any moment 479 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: it can happen. Ronald Johnson playing a much bigger role, 480 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: as we like to call him out here on the 481 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:17,439 Speaker 1: West sc fans Rojoe, Uh, I like Tampa's offense right 482 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: now now the defense is terrible. I would imagine Drew 483 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,439 Speaker 1: Brees and that offense bounces back. The Atlanta was just 484 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: all up in Drew Brees is grill. You think they'd 485 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: block a little bit better this week. But Andrea's Pete. 486 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: You know, one of their star offensive lineman's now out 487 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: forget forget what his injury was, broken arm or something, 488 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: but he's out for a while, something in his shoulder 489 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,679 Speaker 1: or arm. Uh that that's a pretty big loss. Tampa 490 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 1: kind of upset city here. No, I'd keep an eye 491 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: on that Atlanta Carolina, Like, was that just Atlanta off 492 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,439 Speaker 1: of by, you know, just throwing the kitchen sink at 493 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: their rival, or was that Actually, we're not as bad 494 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: as we've been all season. We got a bunch of talent. 495 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: It's hard to tell. I think we'll have a better 496 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: feel for them after this week. I I still think 497 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: these players, dan Quinn like it's over Carolina one of 498 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: the big winners last week, and the snow game at 499 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: Lambeau played pretty damn well. I mean, Kyle Allen McCaffrey, 500 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 1: they moved the ball on the Packers with ease that 501 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 1: that game easily could have been Carolina up earlier in 502 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: the game. It could have gone to overtime if you 503 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,439 Speaker 1: know McCaffrey scores in that last play. I kind of 504 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: like the Panthers at home minus four and a half. 505 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 1: This game is kind of a crazy line. Denver at Minnesota. 506 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 1: Who Minnesota has played really well this season beside a 507 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: couple of games, uh minus ten and a half. Now, 508 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,919 Speaker 1: the Broncos coming off a bye, obviously the backup quarterbacks playing. 509 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 1: I mean, he's like the fourth stringer. I just kind 510 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: of expect the Broncos to run into a bus all here. 511 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: Mini's rolling. I haven't seen the latest on feeling. I 512 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: guess I would imagine he doesn't play. But it shouldn't 513 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: matter Minnesota. Minnesota should win this game. Kind of running 514 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 1: away this game. I don't quite understand. Jets at the 515 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: Redskins Redskins minus one and a half to me. To me, 516 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: the Yet should be favorite in this game. The Redskins 517 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 1: are a joke. I mean they're starting Dwayne Haskins is 518 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,360 Speaker 1: now the full time starter, so his first career start, 519 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: he's gonna win a game. This this crowd could it 520 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: was just gonna be just just apathetic. No, no one 521 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: cares about the Redskins. The Jets actually coming off a 522 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: nice little win against the Giants where Jamal's making plays, 523 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 1: Sam was making some plays. They do have a couple 524 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: of playmakers. I like the Jets in this game, and 525 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: I've already been on him. Actually, uh, I like the 526 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: Jet to win this game by at least a touchdown. 527 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 1: Bills at Miami that this game is pretty interesting. The Bills, 528 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: whose defense has really been fantastic and they were just 529 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: excellent against the Cleveland Browns. Their offense has been a mnemic. Uh, 530 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: they just can't score touchdowns. And say what you want 531 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 1: about Miami, they lacked down. No one will dispute that. 532 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: But man, they're playing their ass off. I would say 533 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 1: no team in the NFL beside that effort. Maybe we saw, 534 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: like from Seattle and San Francisco, has played as hard. 535 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: They have no business winning NFL games, and now they've 536 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,679 Speaker 1: won a couple or at least they were right in 537 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: the game against Pittsburgh a couple of weeks ago. Then 538 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: they beat the Colts. They're playing well, kind of like 539 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: the Dolphins plus six and a half. The Bills just 540 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 1: can't score. How are the Bills gonna score? I'm rooting 541 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: for Josh Allen, but man, I gotta make some plays 542 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,120 Speaker 1: by man. Probably the game of the weekend the Houston 543 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:25,160 Speaker 1: Texans at the Baltimore Ravens Watson versus Lamar. This game 544 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 1: is probably for second place in the m v p 545 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: uh mbp status. Uh. I'll say this, getting ready for 546 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: Baltimore is very difficult. I mean, they're running the option. 547 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: Lamar is just basically Michael Vick two point oh right now. 548 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: He had one of the great runs we've ever seen 549 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: an NFL history against since Andi Bengals. There are select 550 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: number of teams that would be equipped to go, Yeah, 551 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,239 Speaker 1: we see something like that in practice every day, and 552 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: one of them would be the Houston Texans. Now I'm 553 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: not saying Deshaun Watson is the runner that Lamar is. 554 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: Of course he's not, but the Texans for the last 555 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,040 Speaker 1: several years have seen him every day in practice. A 556 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: guy that keeps plays alive with the leg a guy 557 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 1: that can run. So they are somewhat equipped to handle this. 558 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: Now it's on the road. I like Houston in the 559 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: upset here. I just think that they're coming off a 560 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: bye you just kind of throw the kitchen sink at Baltimore. 561 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 1: Baltimore is coming off a huge win against New England 562 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: and then kind of an easy game against the Bengals. 563 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: I I don't really know why how I can justify it, 564 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: except I just I just kind of like the Texas 565 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:30,479 Speaker 1: this week. I think Deshaun Watson has been him, Lamar 566 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: and obviously Russell Wilson the best three players in the 567 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: league quarterback wise this season. And I just think de 568 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: Sean getting the weak rest that team. Bill O'Brien coming 569 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: off a bye, I like him in this situation. This 570 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: next game is kind of tricky here because the car 571 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals, who are probably gonna end up with 572 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: five wins, are actually not terrible because Kyler Murray's actually 573 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: pretty good. I think we all if you watched him 574 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: in Oklahoma, you knew some things translated. He had a 575 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: big time all him and he was really accurate, and 576 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: then clearly his athleticism was elite. Really the knock was 577 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: he was a midget. Well, the height hasn't really killed him, 578 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: and his accuracy and arm strength has really kind of 579 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: helped him. The forty Niners, who you know, it looks 580 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: like George Kittle is gonna be out. Uh, they lost 581 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: another defensive lineman that Braid is out. They just they've 582 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 1: had a ton of injuries. They This is somewhat of 583 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: a trap game in the sense they just lost Seattle. 584 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: The next three games after this Cardinal game are Green 585 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 1: Bay at Home at New Orleans or at Baltimore at 586 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: New Orleans. That's as tough of a three game stretch 587 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: as you can have in the NFL. Green Bay at 588 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 1: Baltimore at New Orleans. Like strap it up so that 589 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: this is, I mean a borderline must win for the 590 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: forty nine ers if they're gonna get a top two seed, 591 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: because this is just this is would be a quote 592 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: unquote easy win there ten and a half point favorite. 593 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 1: I would take the Cardinals plus ten and a half. 594 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: That's a lot of points for a team that's kind 595 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: of been shambles. The Pats and the Eagles, two teams 596 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: coming off a by game in Philly, rematch the Super 597 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: Bowl a couple of years ago. Uh, this is interesting. 598 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: You know Carson Wentz didn't get him shot in the 599 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: Super Bowl because Nick Foles was playing. He finally gets 600 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: a shot at the Paths. Pats are getting to Keell 601 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: harry Back, their first round pick, who I loved the 602 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: Arizona state. So that should help. You know, they're passing 603 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: game a little bit. I think a big reason why 604 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: they got rid of Josh Gordon because I knew he 605 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,959 Speaker 1: was coming back. The Eagles, you know, have rattled off 606 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: a couple of big wins. Now have a little life 607 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: because you know, the Cowboys lost in Minnesota, so they 608 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: kind of control their own destiny again, which which is fun. Uh. 609 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: I'm excited for this game. This I said Houston have 610 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: Baltimore was the game of the day or game of 611 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: the day. This this would be a right up there too. 612 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,719 Speaker 1: You know, Philly is gonna be going eight, just going nuts, 613 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: just going nuts, and uh, you know, Belichick, you better 614 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: believe a little revenge factor going up against Doug. I 615 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: would probably lean Philly plus the three and a half. 616 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: But this would be a tough game to handicap. I 617 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 1: would expect. You know, it's harder to bet against the 618 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 1: Paths coming off a loss, coming off a bye, but 619 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 1: Philly's coming off the bye. Two. This, this is a 620 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: big time game. You could have easily justified putting this 621 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: thing at night. Bengals at Raiders. Do you know the 622 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: craziest part about this game is the Bengals are so 623 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: terrible we can call this a lock win for the Raiders. 624 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 1: The Raiders are gonna be six and four when Sunday 625 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: as six and four. They got nuts. Thatt is be 626 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 1: six and four. Who would ever thought again, wrong, wrong 627 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: about the Raiders. I I tweeted they wouldn't sniff six 628 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 1: wins and their fans haven't stopped letting me hear about it. 629 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 1: And that's say, that's the way the Twitter streets operate. 630 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 1: I'm I'm a I'm a big boy on Twitter, so 631 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 1: you can come at me. I'll welcome the smoke. But 632 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 1: props of the Raiders for being six and four Bears 633 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: at the ramps. The Bears beat him last year when 634 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they were eleven and one. That game 635 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: was in Chicago and it was cold, a little bit 636 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 1: different because the games in l A. The Rams are 637 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 1: six and a half point favor it. But some of 638 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: the shine has clearly come off Sean McVeigh. He's doing 639 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: the same thing over and over and it's clearly not working. 640 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: The The Rams offensive line has been terrible this season. 641 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: The younger guys have been getting worked now. The Bears 642 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: front four is not as good as it was last year. 643 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: Keim Hicks is out, Khalil Mack is having a terrible 644 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: He's had the worst stretch of football I've ever seen 645 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: in his career, five games of just and it's not 646 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: that he lacks the ability, or he's injured with he's 647 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: playing like just kind of going through the motions on 648 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 1: some snaps. Now, is it frustrating because the offense sucks? 649 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: Is it frustrating because his defense isn't as good? Is 650 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 1: he frustrated that Chuck Begano can't hold a campbell to 651 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: Victor Fangil, I don't know. I don't have the answers. 652 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 1: But he's making ninety million dollars and he's not living 653 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 1: up to it right now. Like Khalil, this type game, 654 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 1: Sunday night, bright lights, everyone's watching. Time to make some place. 655 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: You should feast on these offensive linemen. We're worth high character. 656 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: Guy had a great career. He looks like a shot 657 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 1: fighter right now. The Bears. I like the Bears plus 658 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: six and a half. I actually think it's kind of 659 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: an upset special if Mitch can build off what he 660 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 1: did last week. Now Mitch might just be bad. And 661 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 1: if he's bad again, they're in trouble. But this is 662 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 1: a game where the Rams everyone's kind of kicking them 663 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,959 Speaker 1: when they're down the Los Angeles. You think this place 664 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 1: is gonna be packed on Sunday night, No chance. People 665 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,799 Speaker 1: people like winners in l a you start losing, no 666 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 1: one's even paying attention. I would imagine there are a 667 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: lot of Bears fans there. Sunday night, we had a 668 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 1: lot of East Coast transplants living in out here, and 669 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 1: I just don't think the buzz is gonna be there 670 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: for a team that's five and four and feels like 671 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,840 Speaker 1: the playoffs are not gonna happen. So I don't know 672 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: if I like the Bears to win straight up in 673 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 1: an upset, but I definitely like him with the points. Okay, 674 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: let's get to the Middlecoff mail back at John Middlecoff Instagram, 675 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 1: slide up in and get your question question for the pot. 676 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 1: What do you think of Matt Rule as the next 677 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 1: coach of the New York Giants. I'm a huge Giants fan. 678 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: Although Shermer is not a complete embarrassment, I think it's 679 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: safe to say we need to go back to the 680 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 1: drawing board if we ever hope to contend again. Uh 681 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: Rule strikes me as a program builder, CEO type coach 682 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 1: and is what we need. Wanted to hear your thoughts. 683 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 1: I actually don't know that much about Matt Rule until 684 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: I read an article on the Athletic just about his 685 00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 1: Baylor program. Seems like an interesting guy, seems like a 686 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 1: likable guy, seems like a big time leader. Obviously is 687 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 1: a really good coach. I would much rather take my 688 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,839 Speaker 1: chances with Matt Rule than Pat Shermer. I think Pat 689 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 1: Shermer's easily one of the worst coaches in the NFL. 690 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: I think he has, you know, a limited ceiling and 691 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 1: a very low floor, and you're seeing his floor. He's 692 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,400 Speaker 1: a current and uh, he's a disaster right now now. 693 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 1: Matt rules coach in the league. I think he's obviously 694 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: coached for the Giants. A Northeast guy, I think he'd 695 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 1: fit in there perfectly. He has a big game this 696 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 1: weekend against Lahoma. But regardless whether he wins that game, 697 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 1: I mean, the Jets wanted to hire him last year. 698 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,920 Speaker 1: They just tried to force the staff on him, and 699 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 1: he basically said, f you, you're not gonna tell me 700 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:12,840 Speaker 1: who to hire. If you want me to be the 701 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 1: head coach, let me hire the assistance. I never understand that. 702 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:17,839 Speaker 1: If you if you think the guy is good enough 703 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 1: to be your head coach, let him hire his assistance. 704 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 1: General manager should never force assistance on a coach, at 705 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 1: least off the bat. I mean, that's just that's a 706 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,360 Speaker 1: terrible starting point. So yeah, I would hire Matt Ruling 707 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 1: a heartbeat if I was the Giants. And how would 708 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 1: Matt rules? Say? No? Now, does Matt rule like Danny Dimes? 709 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 1: You know? All right, that's a that's a good question. 710 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 1: I don't know, huge Saint fan. My question is how 711 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 1: big of an impactful of a loss was the Saints 712 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: game this past weekend? To me, I'm not nearly as 713 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 1: worried about this loss. I wouldn't be saying to the 714 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 1: Panthers because we beat good teams all season and we 715 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 1: were kind of cocky from winning streak that we've been on. Agreed, 716 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 1: they hadn't lost a game since I mean, that was 717 00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 1: the first loss since the Rams game when Drew Brees 718 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 1: got hurt. I think it was a good time to 719 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:04,879 Speaker 1: get a wake up call and be able to look 720 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 1: at some bad film and use some time to readjust 721 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 1: what do you think? I completely agree. I would only 722 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 1: make a big deal who are they playing? Uh? This weekend? 723 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 1: Who does Saints play this weekend? We're not right now? 724 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,960 Speaker 1: The Saints play Tampa. If they lose a Tampa, then 725 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: we got a problem. But the loss to Atlanta. Like 726 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,799 Speaker 1: you said, they had a long winning streak. They'd beat 727 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 1: a ton of good teams with their backup quarterback. Many 728 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 1: of the games they're fine. You know, if you get 729 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,640 Speaker 1: your ass kicked by the Niners at home, then we 730 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,280 Speaker 1: got a problem. But one one loss to your division rival. 731 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,240 Speaker 1: You know it's cliche, but it's true. Throw the records 732 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,799 Speaker 1: out the window. That's one of my favorite throw them 733 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 1: records out the window. Another good one is like you 734 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 1: never you you played for the win on the road, 735 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: Why would you play with their win at home? But 736 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,080 Speaker 1: it's true. You throw the you throw the records out 737 00:37:56,120 --> 00:38:00,160 Speaker 1: the window for you know, division rivalry games. Uh. I 738 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 1: wouldn't make much of it, especially if they win this 739 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,439 Speaker 1: weekend at Tampa. Now, if they lose a Tampa, then 740 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:08,320 Speaker 1: we might have some problems. Three and out question, Cowboys 741 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 1: definitely need a change the head coach. A decade of 742 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,879 Speaker 1: the Clappers enough, a lot of people are wanting Chris Rochard. 743 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 1: Is this really the right move? The Dallas defense coached 744 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 1: by Chris and Marinelli hasn't looked very good this season. 745 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 1: If he did becoming head coach, do you think he 746 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 1: would bring in a whole new defense of an offensive 747 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 1: coaching staff. That's a good question. I would imagine he 748 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:29,880 Speaker 1: just keep killing Moore because the one thing you'd say 749 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,400 Speaker 1: about Kellen Moore, he's done a good job with Dak Prescott. 750 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 1: You know, it did feel like the more and more 751 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,640 Speaker 1: this week went on, it's sick. These are the things 752 00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 1: I think about. You know. Some people think about like 753 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,799 Speaker 1: where their children gonna go to school. Some people think 754 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,360 Speaker 1: about like how am I going to lock up this 755 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 1: business deal? I think about, did Jason Garrett tell Kellen 756 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 1: Moore to run the ball on second and third down 757 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,319 Speaker 1: against the Minnesota Vikings in the fourth quarter with under 758 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,880 Speaker 1: two minutes to go? But that that's just me. Uh 759 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 1: And I always get back to I think he did, 760 00:38:57,840 --> 00:38:59,719 Speaker 1: you know, I think he said, hey, Kellen, run the 761 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 1: ball here, you know. Uh So I don't know what 762 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:07,319 Speaker 1: Jerry would do. I would guess that, yeah, I mean 763 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 1: Chris Worth short. Jerry's not gonna want some random ass guy. 764 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,640 Speaker 1: Jerry's not gonna want that, even like a Matt rule Like, 765 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,359 Speaker 1: I don't think he's just gonna want to start over. 766 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:17,920 Speaker 1: Jerry's almost eight years old. He's trying to win a 767 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,600 Speaker 1: championship before he dies. That's like Jerry's number one goal 768 00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 1: right now. Think about that, like my goal and I'm 769 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 1: like thirty five is like, you know, I hope to 770 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,920 Speaker 1: meet someone I really like, get married, have children. I 771 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 1: hope I keep, you know, my my profession. I keep 772 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 1: growing and revenue keeps doubling, and you know, I keep 773 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,440 Speaker 1: you know, figuring out new ways to to do different 774 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,880 Speaker 1: media stuff. I mean, all Jerry's thinking about is like, 775 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 1: how can I win a super Bowl before I die? 776 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 1: Like that's the point in time in life he's at. 777 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 1: So I don't think he's just gonna hire, you know, 778 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,320 Speaker 1: I don't think he wants to fire Jason Garrett. Again, 779 00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,840 Speaker 1: I say it all the time. If you said, hey, Jerry, 780 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:04,359 Speaker 1: would you cut a hundred million dollar check right now 781 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,400 Speaker 1: for Jason Garrett to like make it to the NFC 782 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 1: Championship Game, I think you would just so you don't 783 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:09,759 Speaker 1: have to fire him
