Speaker 2: Everybody?
Speaker 1: John middlecoff three and Out podcast.
Speaker 2: How are we doing?
Speaker 1: Probably better than the Cowboys because they lose again forty
Speaker 1: nine ers make the game interesting, play some bad defense
Speaker 1: down the stretch of the fourth quarter, but had a
Speaker 1: massive lead seventeen points going into it. So I had
Speaker 1: a little bus but game got weird, but ultimately took
Speaker 1: care of business. Go to four and four heading into
Speaker 1: their by you have the Dallas Cowboys who are now
Speaker 1: three and four. I just saw a clip of a
Speaker 1: player Digs yelling at some reporters.
Speaker 2: For some tweets.
Speaker 1: So it's just like cowboys, Cowboys got some issues. We'll
Speaker 1: dive into the game. We'll dive into Jerry. I went
Speaker 1: on with Colin so as I do every Sunday. We
Speaker 1: talked a little bit about this game as well. And
Speaker 1: then a lot of stuff on Sunday. So I want
Speaker 1: to hit on the Niners, the Cowboys, Jade and Daniels,
Speaker 1: and then just do a little Sunday Night Overrated, Underrated,
Speaker 1: just from different things that I saw throughout the league,
Speaker 1: some stuff on college football. You know, the slate wasn't
Speaker 1: great on Sunday on paper, but I gotta say today
Speaker 1: was more entertaining than most And as someone that wakes
Speaker 1: up and watches football for whatever three and a half seven,
Speaker 1: you know, about ten to eleven hours, some days are
Speaker 1: better than others, and today I'll give today a thumbs up,
Speaker 1: especially the morning. The morning slate was excellent. So we'll
Speaker 1: discuss some stuff that we saw and rock and roll
Speaker 1: from there. We'll if podcasts out all week. Remember there
Speaker 1: are gonna be some podcasts that come out only on
Speaker 1: the three and out feed if you listen on Collins feed,
Speaker 1: so make sure to subscribe to the three and Out
Speaker 1: podcast feed. Make sure you do that, and make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the YouTube page. Got a bunch of
Speaker 1: stuff up there as well, and yeah, you won't miss
Speaker 1: any of the content. Before we dive into some football,
Speaker 1: I knew a lot of people at the game the
Speaker 1: night at Levice Stadium, and I know a lot of
Speaker 1: people that love going to these big games, and I
Speaker 1: know a lot of people listening. Depending on where you live,
Speaker 1: if your football team lives there, if you like traveling
Speaker 1: to a game. I saw in the Raiders game the
Speaker 1: Raiders host to the Chiefs and when they sing the
Speaker 1: national anthem, the Chiefs fans always say home of the Chiefs,
Speaker 1: and it was basically.
Speaker 2: A Chief's home game. So if you ever want to.
Speaker 1: Travel to Vegas to see your squad, if they're playing
Speaker 1: the Raiders or La, same thing, I got you covered

Speaker 1: take as low as price is guaranteed. Well, it was
Speaker 1: twenty seven to ten, and it felt like the forty
Speaker 1: nine ers were basically strangling them out.
Speaker 2: It's one of those.
Speaker 1: Where as you head to the fourth quarter, you're kind
Speaker 1: of screwing around on your phone, bullshitting with some people,
Speaker 1: texting about how you know the next after the bye week,
Speaker 1: what the Niner season is going to look like, how
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are just circling the drain, how Jerry's gonna
Speaker 1: be Then all of a sudden, man, it's the NFL.
Speaker 1: The forty nine Ers take their foot off the pedal,
Speaker 1: give up an easy touchdown to Ceedee Lamb, go three
Speaker 1: and out, and then the Cowboys have like a seventy
Speaker 1: second drive and we got ourselves a ballgame now. Ultimately,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, that game. Like Dak Prescott's been doing
Speaker 1: this a lot for a long part of his career.
Speaker 1: I'm a Dak Prescott fan, and I've come around on
Speaker 1: him over the years. I think he's good, and I
Speaker 1: used to push back, and it's like, listen, I acknowledge,
Speaker 1: like I'd have no problem if you have a good
Speaker 1: team putting Dak Prescott in, you can win. And I've
Speaker 1: always said that he is good enough to get hot
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. But like I thought that was a
Speaker 1: little bit of a hollow comeback, Like those were.
Speaker 2: A lot of hollow yards.
Speaker 1: The right team won, and the right team went on
Speaker 1: a twenty four to nothing run in the middle of
Speaker 1: the game. So like the forty nine Ers have beat
Speaker 1: them four straight times. In those four games, two of
Speaker 1: those being playoff games. Dak Prescott has eight interceptions, and
Speaker 1: tonight the score is ten to six at halftime, and
Speaker 1: the Cowboys had played well in the first half, they
Speaker 1: really had. Their defense had played well. Party was off.
Speaker 1: It was like, okay, coming off of bye, all the
Speaker 1: shit that's happened with Jerry and the radio hosts and
Speaker 1: the articles coming out, It's like, okay, they're throwing the
Speaker 1: kitchen sink at this game. The forty nine Ers get
Speaker 1: the ball out, a halftime score, a touchdown after a
Speaker 1: big kittle like crossing route that he takes to like
Speaker 1: the three or four yard line. Then Garndo scores. It's
Speaker 1: thirteen to ten. It's like, okay, game on, game on,
Speaker 1: Cowboys are playing well, Niners get their mojo back, and
Speaker 1: what does Dak do. A couple plays later, throws an
Speaker 1: interception to Lenore. Several plays later, the forty nine Er
Speaker 1: score and it is twenty to ten. And this has
Speaker 1: happened now four straight times when they've played and an
Speaker 1: interception early in the game as well, Like, he just
Speaker 1: throws the worst picks against the forty nine Ers. His
Speaker 1: first pick deep that Jaira Brown picked wasn't even close
Speaker 1: to being completed. It was a horrendous throw and for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, And listen, I think Dak now has eight
Speaker 1: interceptions on the season. He had nine all of last year,
Speaker 1: so clearly he's turning the ball over more. They can't
Speaker 1: run the ball, but specifically against the forty nine ers
Speaker 1: and that defense they own this guy and his interception tonight,
Speaker 1: like is a huge swing in the game. And if
Speaker 1: you want to like put some merit to the last
Speaker 1: you know, six to seven minute comeback, maybe they win
Speaker 1: the game. If he doesn't throw that second half interception
Speaker 1: that leads to seven pretty big swing, especially when you
Speaker 1: only lose by six. So like, this is a game now,
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan versus Mike McCarthy. Coordinators have changed, players have changed,
Speaker 1: people have been injured. Kyle Shanahan, the forty nine Ers
Speaker 1: defense owns Mike McCarthy and Dak Prescott. Now, I would
Speaker 1: say this is the worst version of that team that
Speaker 1: they faced over the last three plus years. But you
Speaker 1: could argue tonight is the worst version of the forty
Speaker 1: nine Ers that they've seen and getting in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: It was a seventeen point game. It wasn't quite as
Speaker 1: bad as last year on Sunday Night Football, but it
Speaker 1: did have some similarities. And unlike last year, like the
Speaker 1: first half was close, the Cowboys were freaking winning. So
Speaker 1: like overall, the forty nine Ers have a lot of
Speaker 1: issues and the end of that game was pretty embarrassing
Speaker 1: for it even to be that close and the blown coverages.
Speaker 1: I'm all for an easy touchdown late in a game
Speaker 1: when you're up three scores. You're not playing the same
Speaker 1: level of defense. Even Collins were said that, but then
Speaker 1: to have the second touchdown with number eighty eight. There
Speaker 1: are certain players on certain teams when you get in
Speaker 1: those positions, then I don't know, you kind of have
Speaker 1: to follow, and I would say, ceedee Lamb on this
Speaker 1: Cowboys team would fall under that umbrella. He's gonna get
Speaker 1: a catcher to even if you're you know, putting a
Speaker 1: bunch of guys and directing the coverage and attempting to
Speaker 1: bracket him or whatever like that's what great players do.
Speaker 1: But the level in which he was wide open. Was
Speaker 1: pretty embarrassing. But throughout most of the game they had
Speaker 1: covered well. So I don't know if they just kind
Speaker 1: of took their eye off the ball if they thought
Speaker 1: they had won it. Don't totally blame them. I did
Speaker 1: as well. But and if that had gone worst case scenario,
Speaker 1: that would have been the worst forty nine Er loss
Speaker 1: of my lifetime, given what was at stake, given the
Speaker 1: lead they had. Uh, but it was the bottom line business,
Speaker 1: and it's about winning and losing, and the forty nine
Speaker 1: ers we're able to pull it out. They go into
Speaker 1: a buy now. And that division's weird. It really is,
Speaker 1: because currently the Cardinals are in first place at four
Speaker 1: and four. The Rams, who are three and four. Obviously
Speaker 1: you get Pooka and Cooper cup back, their offense looks
Speaker 1: completely different.
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna be pretty good.
Speaker 1: And Seattle is seriously leaking oil because Gino now has
Speaker 1: had multiple moments against really good teams where he looks
Speaker 1: like a guy like, we can't keep doing this, Like
Speaker 1: what's the point of this hamster wheel. We appreciate you.
Speaker 1: You're one of the great bridge quarterbacks that I can
Speaker 1: ever remember. And I'm not talking about a bridge quarterback
Speaker 1: that then becomes a starter and becomes like a stud.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about a true bridge quarterback, which he is.
Speaker 1: He's been incredible, but no one's ever thought like this
Speaker 1: is the long term answer, or we can make a
Speaker 1: playoff run. And it becomes more crystallized when you play
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, when you play the Buffalo bit
Speaker 1: and you.
Speaker 2: Look like that.
Speaker 1: But to me, this is still especially if Christian McCaffrey
Speaker 1: comes back the forty nine ers division to lose and
Speaker 1: there is no excuse for them not to win it,
Speaker 1: especially because this is not a division that takes twelve
Speaker 1: or thirteen wins to win the division. I think at
Speaker 1: ten and seven you have a very very good chance
Speaker 1: to be named the NFC West champion. Now that would
Speaker 1: be a tough playoff road, given that you know, Detroit's
Speaker 1: probably a two or three lost team, so they'll be
Speaker 1: the one seed. You would think between the Eagles and Commanders,
Speaker 1: one of those two teams probably going to be the
Speaker 1: two seed, and Atlanta will see I mean, they are
Speaker 1: five and three. I think they're a little fraudulent, but
Speaker 1: they're scrappy. They got a little momentum. Actually not really
Speaker 1: I mean, they beat Tampa, who was missing the two receivers,
Speaker 1: and they's got the shit kicked out of them, you know,
Speaker 1: a week ago, so because they had injuries. So I
Speaker 1: still believe that the forty nine ers will win this division,
Speaker 1: but there are moments like that in the fourth quarter
Speaker 1: where you're like, gosh, what is going on? And then
Speaker 1: when it comes to the Cowboys, like I was wrong.
Speaker 1: I thought they would be a.
Speaker 2: Playoff team and they're clearly not.
Speaker 1: I mean, just watch them against the forty nine ers. Like,
Speaker 1: obviously the forty nine ers have Nick Bosa and Trent Williams,
Speaker 1: but they got a lot of.
Speaker 2: Random players as well.
Speaker 1: Number six Mustafa is a third day pick who is
Speaker 1: now starting for them and playing really really well. Rinaldo Green,
Speaker 1: who is out there a lot at the corner, is
Speaker 1: their second round corner. Isaac Garndo, the running back, is
Speaker 1: a fourth round pick. This year, they draft well and
Speaker 1: the Cowboys hit on high picks. But you're watching like, yeah,
Speaker 1: they got injuries, but like, where's your depth? Where are
Speaker 1: your other guys? How are you running out Ezekiel Elliott
Speaker 1: in this spot? And whenever I hear people that cover
Speaker 1: the Cowboys they're like they love his leadership. Well, there
Speaker 1: comes to a point, like the supplied demand chart, like
Speaker 1: for you to be a leader, you don't have to
Speaker 1: be as great as you were in the peak of
Speaker 1: your career, but you can't be this, And that's the
Speaker 1: easiest position to find. We should never have a huge
Speaker 1: problem at like Garden Center. We should be able to
Speaker 1: find those players, and we should be able to find
Speaker 1: running backs, Like, there's no excuse to not find a
Speaker 1: running back who can just produce on game days. I'm
Speaker 1: not asking for Adrian Peterson or Ledanian Tomlinson or Christian McCaffrey,
Speaker 1: but you should be able to find Isaac Garndo. Hell,
Speaker 1: the only reason Isaac Garndo came into the game is
Speaker 1: because Jordan Mason, who a couple of weeks ago led
Speaker 1: the league in rushing, has a messed up shoulder. Well,
Speaker 1: where'd the forty nine ers get him? He's an undrafted
Speaker 1: free agent. Listen, it is hard to find star tackles,
Speaker 1: sweet pass rushers. That's why Micah Parsons goes number eleven.
Speaker 1: That's why Nick Bosa goes number two. You want to
Speaker 1: get Trent Willey Siams. You got to draft him in
Speaker 1: the first round. He went I think fourth overall, and
Speaker 1: the only reason the forty nine ers got him for
Speaker 1: a third round pick because he refused to go anywhere else.
Speaker 1: He had to come to Kyle Shanahan. Look at the
Speaker 1: Cowboys geting the kid they got from Oklahoma. You didn't
Speaker 1: find that guy in the fourth. He had to draft
Speaker 1: him in the first. And he's like a raw project.
Speaker 1: So I never don't defend teams like when your backup
Speaker 1: tackles in, yeah, it's gonna be a problem. And some
Speaker 1: backup tackles are clearly worse than others. But there aren't
Speaker 1: that many dudes that are six five, three twenty. But
Speaker 1: running backs come in all shapes and sizes. And if
Speaker 1: your second and third stringers can't be productive, then that's
Speaker 1: on you. And this gets back to Jerry and me
Speaker 1: and Collin.
Speaker 2: Just talked about this.
Speaker 1: It's like who's he listening to? And here's the hard
Speaker 1: part about his role is he's the boss. He science
Speaker 1: the checks, right, it's his team. But he's adamant that
Speaker 1: I have to be the GM. But he's not like
Speaker 1: watching any tape. It's not like Jerry is spending Tuesday
Speaker 1: and Wednesday breaking down Colorado Cincinnati College tape. Let me
Speaker 1: look at Missouri Alabama. Well, that's like what Adam Peters
Speaker 1: or Howie Roseman or John Lynch and those guys spend
Speaker 1: time watching that during the season. Yet when we get
Speaker 1: to draft time, he gets informed, they talk to him,
Speaker 1: they tell him all about it. He's the guy giving
Speaker 1: the thumbs up or thumbs down on the pick. And
Speaker 1: that's where you get all out of whack is because
Speaker 1: your general manager, like it can't be a you know,
Speaker 1: I just want the title because I want to talk.
Speaker 2: About this stuff.
Speaker 1: Because there's are reasons why there's so much infighting on
Speaker 1: teams where the owner is just the owner, but he
Speaker 1: has his front office, his coach, and his president. Because
Speaker 1: you know why, no one cares that much the stuff
Speaker 1: the president's doing, even though he's making the team a
Speaker 1: lot of money, selling the naming rights, sell PSLs, doing
Speaker 1: all the business stuff for the team. That's why there's
Speaker 1: all they always try to keep their you know, kind
Speaker 1: of fingers in the cookie jar of Well, I want
Speaker 1: to mess with football. I want to be involved in
Speaker 1: these meetings because that's the cool part about this whole thing.
Speaker 1: So Jerry who's making just piles of money. For those
Speaker 1: of you kids that missed this, When I was a kid,
Speaker 1: they had Donald Duck and he used to jump into
Speaker 1: the coins and just money. And that's what Jerry's like.
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine when he types into his Chase
Speaker 1: Bank or Wells Fargo or wherever he banks, whatever his
Speaker 1: accounts say. Even Jerry thirty twenty years ago couldn't have
Speaker 1: dreamed of the money he's making. And I I always
Speaker 1: like understand guys the struggle giving up parts of their
Speaker 1: business that they feel like the only reason we have
Speaker 1: this team is because I have the kahonas I put
Speaker 1: my nuts on the table to leverage our entire family.
Speaker 1: We didn't have the money to buy this, so you
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna give up now, even though it's like,
Speaker 1: well yeah, dad, shouldn't you just take a step back
Speaker 1: like you're eighty three, just relax. You can still come
Speaker 1: to the games, But do you need to be this involved?
Speaker 1: The forty nine ers have a bunch of success. Their owner,
Speaker 1: I mean his parents technically on the team, but he
Speaker 1: runs it in Jed Yorke is like in his mid
Speaker 1: to late forties, has nothing to do with any of
Speaker 1: this stuff. Whoever he hires back to Trent Balkey and
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh, through John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan, they do
Speaker 1: it all. Whether it's a first round pick, whether it's
Speaker 1: a trade for Trent Williams, whether it's a waiver wire,
Speaker 1: what regardless, why would you want to be involved in
Speaker 1: something you know nothing about? Or Jerry, while he played
Speaker 1: college football, is not like breaking down the tape on this.
Speaker 1: Jerry probably is comfortable talking about after the game the
Speaker 1: team he just played. Do you think Jerry could break
Speaker 1: down the strengths and weaknesses of the forty nine ers
Speaker 1: players on Wednesday or Thursday? Like Mike and the coaching
Speaker 1: staff could no chance, especially uncommon opponents. Maybe the forty
Speaker 1: nine Ers because they've played him a bunch. But let's
Speaker 1: just pick a random team like the Cincinnati Bengals or
Speaker 1: just whoever an uncommon opponent is, He'd have no shot.
Speaker 1: There is not a general manager in the NFL who
Speaker 1: wouldn't have a pretty strong opinion definitely on like the
Speaker 1: too deep on every player their strengths and weaknesses, and
Speaker 1: then any young player on the roster who had been drafted,
Speaker 1: who's a practice squad.
Speaker 2: Or like a third stringer.
Speaker 1: Why because they've evaluated, they've written up, they talked about it.
Speaker 2: That's their life.
Speaker 1: So you get in these positions and you're competing against
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers or the Eagles or now Adam
Speaker 1: Peters and Dan Quinn like, it's gonna be hard because
Speaker 1: I don't think Mike sucks. Clearly, he's probably not what
Speaker 1: you'd want in a superstar coach, but he's proven to
Speaker 1: be pretty good over the course of now almost twenty
Speaker 1: plus years. But if his general manager sucks or doesn't
Speaker 1: listen to him, or they have no cohesion, you got
Speaker 1: no shot long term. And finally it bubbled over and listen,
Speaker 1: I'm not excusing what happened last year against green Bay,
Speaker 1: even though when you watch green Bay play and you
Speaker 1: watch Dallas now in that game and over the course, like,
Speaker 1: of course green Bays better. They're way more explosive on offense,
Speaker 1: their quarterbacks is way more talented, their coach is probably better. Right,
Speaker 1: if you had to choose a coach right now, you
Speaker 1: would definitely take Lafloor over McCarthy. But one huge advantage
Speaker 1: they have is the front office because they've had a
Speaker 1: consistent group going back to ron Wolf, all the guys
Speaker 1: they hired are carryovers or crossovers of guys that were
Speaker 1: already on the staff. They have an organizational philosophy, and
Speaker 1: to Ted Thompson to ron Wolf, these fuckers know what
Speaker 1: they're doing, and it's crazy to say. And two like,
Speaker 1: listen at eighty three years old. I've never been eighty three,
Speaker 1: but I've been around a few of them. You're just
Speaker 1: not quite as cognitively quick. You're not gonna be as sharp,
Speaker 1: even if twenty years ago you were sharp as attack
Speaker 1: and you're the smartest guy in the room. I'm not
Speaker 1: even saying Jerry is. I don't know the guy personally,
Speaker 1: but I'm just even giving him the benefit of doubt.
Speaker 1: I stumbled upon on Saturday night after the Colorado game ended.
Speaker 1: Maria was working late, and she like hopped in the
Speaker 1: shower and it's probably like eleven o'clock at night, and
Speaker 1: I popped him altonin but there wasn't really anything on TV.
Speaker 1: So I was playing on my phone and somehow on
Speaker 1: my phone The Football Life of Al Davis came up,
Speaker 1: and you're watching, You're going like the guy I kind
Speaker 1: of grew up on was the senile old like had
Speaker 1: lost his fastball. But you watched these cli of al
Speaker 1: in the sixties, the seventies, in the eighties, You're like,
Speaker 1: this guy was like the Steve Jobs or Jeff Bezos
Speaker 1: of football. This with a little Donald Trump to him.
Speaker 1: This guy was a fucking renegade, crazy dude who was
Speaker 1: football smart as it didn't get any better. Obviously at
Speaker 1: the end he lost it because as you age a
Speaker 1: couple things, you're not quite as quick until you get
Speaker 1: way more stubborn. And I would say most successful people
Speaker 1: have a stubborn nature because if they didn't have that,
Speaker 1: they probably never would have got there. You see it
Speaker 1: with great coaches. Kyle Shanahan can be stubborn. Andy Reid
Speaker 1: could be stubborn, right. I'm sure pat Riley and his
Speaker 1: hey day had some stubborn moments. It comes with the territory.
Speaker 1: But when you lose it up top a little bit,
Speaker 1: it's just and I'm not blaming like Jerry Jones for
Speaker 1: that individual game, but you've seen this kind of just
Speaker 1: fall apart. I mean, the forty nine ers could have
Speaker 1: fallen apart too.
Speaker 2: Over the last three or four weeks. That just felt
Speaker 2: like it.
Speaker 1: Doesn't get any worse, but it's not like their owner
Speaker 1: is on the phone with the radio and like saying
Speaker 1: crazy stuff, and then these articles are coming out that
Speaker 1: easily could have come out a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: but they're not gonna come out when you're winning because
Speaker 1: no one would care, and it just snowballs and then
Speaker 1: the pressure gets put on their quarterback. And it's the
Speaker 1: same thing with Perdy if it ever got put on
Speaker 1: party over the next ten years. Like our team kind
Speaker 1: of sucks our organizations and shambles carry us to ten wins.
Speaker 1: He's not gonna be able to do it. He's not
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahmes, He's not Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson. But
Speaker 1: if you have like a stable environment with people that
Speaker 1: know what they're doing, like Jared Goff is probably the
Speaker 1: front runner for MVP, him and Lamar Right, but no
Speaker 1: one would compare Jared Goff's skill set to Lamar Right
Speaker 1: and every single human if you could choose one, you
Speaker 1: would take Lamar Jackson over Jared Goff because this version
Speaker 1: of Lamar, who is by far the best version of
Speaker 1: that we've ever seen out of him, You feel I
Speaker 1: could play anywhere you put him on. Carolina they'd get
Speaker 1: like five or six wins. Jared definitely needs help around him.
Speaker 2: Most of us do.
Speaker 1: Most human beings aren't, like I don't know, Elon Musk
Speaker 1: or Peyton Manning. Most of us are gonna be very
Speaker 1: dependent on other people, even the most successful, famous, you
Speaker 1: name it. You go industry to industry, most people are
Speaker 1: gonna be predicated on others. And look at Jared Goff.
Speaker 1: You get him well run organization, offensive pieces everywhere, good
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. Their defense still a little shaky, but definitely
Speaker 1: playing pretty well given that their best defensive players looks
Speaker 1: like John Gruden. I heard tell part of my take guys.
Speaker 1: He reminded him of Joe Montana, which is kind of
Speaker 1: crazy because Joe could always run. But I know what
Speaker 1: he means efficiency. Can you imagine it? Four years ago?
Speaker 1: I'd say, hey, well, one, you know, John Gruden, who's
Speaker 1: coaching for the Raiders, make one hundred million dollars. He's
Speaker 1: gonna get fired on like a Monday night for some
Speaker 1: league emails.
Speaker 2: He's gonna sue the league.
Speaker 1: And I saw Florio posted something like last week that
Speaker 1: he's kind of making some headway.
Speaker 2: Maybe he'll win, who knows.
Speaker 1: So he's gonna get fired and he's gonna be shutt
Speaker 1: from the league. And then a couple of years later
Speaker 1: he's gonna start this YouTube channel. It's actually pretty entertaining.
Speaker 1: He's gonna it's gonna be just him. It's gonna feel
Speaker 1: like Monday Night football. And he's gonna give a bunch
Speaker 1: of takes, and one of his takes is gonna be
Speaker 1: Jared Goff and he's gonna he's not just making this up.
Speaker 1: He's gonna compare him to Joe Montana and have a
Speaker 1: very good chance to win the MVP. You would have
Speaker 1: been like, what world did the world end? You wouldn't
Speaker 1: even believe it. But what the Lions are no longer? Oh,
Speaker 1: and on the Lions, he's gonna be in the Lions.
Speaker 2: He'd be like, put put down the crack pipe, homie.
Speaker 1: It turns out that the Lions are just well run
Speaker 1: and they know what they're doing. And when they surround
Speaker 1: when a talented person is surrounded by other talented people
Speaker 1: and talented leadership, like the sky's the limit and you
Speaker 1: see Dak who like, I'm not at this point in time,
Speaker 1: some Dak hater though he's the picks and Night were
Speaker 1: bad but he's he got no chance with this current operation.
Speaker 1: Before we getting overrated underrated Jayde Daniels. I don't even
Speaker 1: know what his box score was today, but I would
Speaker 1: say probably in the third quarter, I just felt like
Speaker 1: he was clearly the best player on the field. Montes
Speaker 1: Sweat was pretty damn good as well. But I think
Speaker 1: there's a chance Jade Daniels so far through this season
Speaker 1: has been one of the best players in the NFL.
Speaker 1: It is crazy how good the guy is. Because I
Speaker 1: was texted with someone we'll get into Colorado who's having
Speaker 1: an unreal season. Obviously, Chador is gonna be in the
Speaker 1: mix to be the number one overall pick. But like
Speaker 1: when you talked to scouts about Shador, it's like, well,
Speaker 1: he's a good athlete, not great like his dad. He's
Speaker 1: got a good arm, but not a howitzer. Then you're
Speaker 1: watching Jayden, You're like, well, he's kind of like Lamar two.
Speaker 2: Point zero run around his arm.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's Brett Favre, but it it's
Speaker 1: pretty damn good. If Brett was like a ten or
Speaker 1: John Elway was a Marino a ten, and a Dack
Speaker 1: is like a five or six. I mean what's Jaden
Speaker 1: like an eight and a half nine? I mean he
Speaker 1: is throwing seats, even the hail Mary, how far did
Speaker 1: that fly in the air. I knew he threw a deep,
Speaker 1: good deep ball because you watch him last year with
Speaker 1: the two wide receivers. I mean his go route was elite.
Speaker 1: But to me, what I didn't know is the strikes.
Speaker 2: Over the middle of the field.
Speaker 1: It looks like you're watching like Josh Allen or Justin Herbert.
Speaker 1: It's like whoof You're like, holy shit, I mean this guy,
Speaker 1: like clearly they have a good coach like Dan Quinn
Speaker 1: maybe needed to get fired from Atlanta, take a step
Speaker 1: back sometimes you need to reset service us all well
Speaker 1: sometimes and I would imagine he's come back even a
Speaker 1: better version.
Speaker 2: So like he has a very very capable head coach.
Speaker 1: His general manager worked for Belichick in the two thousands,
Speaker 1: John Elway during the Peyton Manning era and the first
Speaker 1: seven years of Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch, so he's
Speaker 1: got a pretty good idea what works in the NFL
Speaker 1: personnel wise. So he has a capable head coach clearly,
Speaker 1: and a GM. While he's never been a GM before,
Speaker 1: It's impossible to have a better resume as a guy
Speaker 1: who's never been a GM. I mean countless super Bowl
Speaker 1: wins and Super Bowl appearances with Pro Bowlers and Hall
Speaker 1: of Famers at basically every position. So he's got a
Speaker 1: good spot to go to, even though I don't think
Speaker 1: they're that talented. But to me, he he feels like
Speaker 1: one of those guys I talked about that like might
Speaker 1: be the rare guy that would have transcended wherever he went.
Speaker 1: Like if you would put this guy in Carolina, Carolina
Speaker 1: wouldn't be a playoff team, but they would look a
Speaker 1: lot fucking better than they look, because this guy's talent
Speaker 1: is eye popping. Like you watch Caleb, very talented guy.
Speaker 1: He's got a big arm. He can scramble around. But like,
Speaker 1: if you told me today who would you take if
Speaker 1: you could have one guy for your team, who would
Speaker 1: you want? It would take me less than a millisecond
Speaker 1: to respond. Jaden Daniels, Now your career's not written after whatever.
Speaker 1: You know, it's October twenty seventh, year one. But I
Speaker 1: don't think this year just from a perception, just the
Speaker 1: overall standpoint where it's like I just don't think this
Speaker 1: guy could be that much better. It's pretty crazy. I
Speaker 1: don't know what his overall numbers will look like. The
Speaker 1: other thing this week what he proved and Caleb has
Speaker 1: proved this too, because he's just getting peppered do onn
Speaker 1: stuck because his offensive line sucks. It's like he had
Speaker 1: to be at an injury where his game ended and
Speaker 1: he had to put on the sweats and the next
Speaker 1: week it was like most people thought and maybe they
Speaker 1: knew the whole time he was gonna play, and I haven't,
Speaker 1: just because so much stuff.
Speaker 2: Me and Colin went right after. I haven't seen all
Speaker 2: the quotes.
Speaker 1: But it was like, clearly, this guy's a tough dude.
Speaker 1: So it's like, wait, he could run really fast and
Speaker 1: he's a very instinctive runner. He needs to work a
Speaker 1: little bit on avoid schmits, but hopefully that can be
Speaker 1: taught in Hammered Home. His deep ball is elite, his
Speaker 1: arm strength is awesome, his accuracy has been like league leader,
Speaker 1: and all the intangibles are all like a plus, Like
Speaker 1: is this guy I don't know the modern day perfect player.
Speaker 1: So I we'll get into the hail Mary. But I've
Speaker 1: been wowed. Not that I was a hater, but I
Speaker 1: was like, look at his team at LSU. He has
Speaker 1: two NFL tackles who are not really playing that well
Speaker 1: in college right now. His two receivers last year, one
Speaker 1: guy was a six pick. The other guy feels like
Speaker 1: he scores every week for the Jags. His tight end
Speaker 1: was good. I mean, their team was just stacked. It's like,
Speaker 1: is it really going to be this easy? And it
Speaker 1: was like, he's going to go to a team that
Speaker 1: mclaurin's good, but they're gonna rely on some.
Speaker 2: Guys you've never really heard of.
Speaker 1: Luke McCaffrey running back solid and Cliff Kingsbury, who's I've
Speaker 1: always been a little hesitant on his style of football,
Speaker 1: and you just watch him, You're like, God, they're sweet
Speaker 1: and he is awesome. Okay, let's fly through a little overrated,
Speaker 1: underrated to cap off this Sunday night. You know, in
Speaker 1: the business, it's probably like this in any industry, even
Speaker 1: though you know in football specifically, because we have some
Speaker 1: you know people, whether you're on NFL network or you know,
Speaker 1: whether you are one of the main newsbreakers or you're
Speaker 1: just a big personality on like ESPN. When you know
Speaker 1: someone and like him, I understand supporting them and saying
Speaker 1: positive things. But the reaction to Mike McDaniel, which I
Speaker 1: get because I followed him in San Francisco, his quirkiness,
Speaker 1: his funniness, He looks, well, he used to look like
Speaker 1: this just gigantic nerd who's transformed into this guy who
Speaker 1: looks like he's slinging eight balls behind him McDonald's down
Speaker 1: in Miami. But like part of the hype was once
Speaker 1: he got to Miami, he had these designer shades, he
Speaker 1: had on a fifty thousand dollars watch, he had on
Speaker 1: the Joggers. He was just like mister cool. He's calling
Speaker 1: all these plays. It's like, okay, I get it. And
Speaker 1: even last year they scored seventy points in a game,
Speaker 1: remarkable accomplishment.
Speaker 2: Okay, what's the record? Who are they beaten?
Speaker 1: It's like, ah, they're not really beating anyone good. And
Speaker 1: their team's pretty soft, and like most Southern Florida teams,
Speaker 1: they fall apart down the street. You're like, wait, so
Speaker 1: this guy's like Cliff Kingsbury with a better pr campaign.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, but he's not really that good looking, and
Speaker 1: it's more that like people like to sarcastically make fun
Speaker 1: of him. But he's got some heavy hitters in the
Speaker 1: media that really really act like he's a genius. And
Speaker 1: then I watch his team today. Obviously, to a coming
Speaker 1: back is a gigantic upgrade over what they were playing with,
Speaker 1: and they looked like a normal NFL offense to all
Speaker 1: look good. Actually, now, granted Arizona's defense is terrible, but
Speaker 1: their defense and just their team is just so soft.
Speaker 1: And they're way worse this year than last year on defense.
Speaker 1: Why because they've lost players. They lost Wilkins to the Raiders.
Speaker 1: They lost Fan Ginkel to Flores, like two of.
Speaker 2: Their better players to their best players.
Speaker 1: On defense, there's gone and now their defense just blows.
Speaker 1: So to lose Arizona, which is not an easy team,
Speaker 1: but that was a classic like Arizona Deep Flight. You
Speaker 1: were up at one point in time by like double digits.
Speaker 1: It should have been an easy win, and then you
Speaker 1: look up and Arizona's kicking a walkoff field goal.
Speaker 2: So I think Mike McDaniel. Of all the offensive coaches
Speaker 2: like Lafour.
Speaker 1: Six and two, Kevin O'Connell's winning was Sam Darnold, Andy
Speaker 1: Reid and Mahomes are winning with You can't even name
Speaker 1: half their receivers. And this guy just never even won
Speaker 1: a big game. I hasn't won a game in December
Speaker 1: against a real team in like two years, never won
Speaker 1: a playoff game last year, thoroughly embarrassed in the playoffs
Speaker 1: after not winning the division. I think he's the most
Speaker 1: overrated coach in the league.
Speaker 2: Underrated.
Speaker 1: You could argue the most underrated thing in all of sports,
Speaker 1: the walkoff Grand Slam on Friday Night, Freddy Freeman and
Speaker 1: I hate the Dodgers, not as much as the Lakers,
Speaker 1: but I'm definitely rooting for the Yankees. A walkoff Grand
Speaker 1: Slam in the World Series. That's anyone that plays like
Speaker 1: Little League baseball, you dream of doing that, like hitting
Speaker 1: off the tee, I say a Hail Mary, that thrill
Speaker 1: of watching it on the edge of your seat because
Speaker 1: I don't have the percentages in front of me. Ninety
Speaker 1: nine out of one hundred don't work. Fifty out of
Speaker 1: those ninety nine are kind of an embarrassing play. Probably
Speaker 1: less than ten percent of them even get remotely close
Speaker 1: when they hit. It is one of the coolest things
Speaker 1: in sports. And you could argue when they hit for
Speaker 1: the team that's at home, like Rogers, if I remember
Speaker 1: that when they did that montage a couple weeks ago
Speaker 1: when he hit who they owe the bills and they
Speaker 1: did the montage like the one he hit against Arizona
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Was was on the road in Arizona.
Speaker 1: I think two out of his three were on the road.
Speaker 1: So it's cool. It's got to be jarring for the
Speaker 1: fans when you go bananas after he hit it. Just
Speaker 1: that crowd. That franchise has been so shitty. I saw
Speaker 1: a funny meme on Instagram. It's like, can you imagine
Speaker 1: Dan Snyder? You own that team for decades and you
Speaker 1: leave it immediately they get the special juices of just
Speaker 1: like your stink being off them and they're hitting Hail
Speaker 1: Mary's to go.
Speaker 2: It's a record No. Six and two.
Speaker 1: What a cool moment, Seattle. They are a pretty overrated team.
Speaker 1: Their coaching staff's fantastic. I liked Mike McDonald and I
Speaker 1: love Ryan Grubb. But every time you looked up Ryan Grubb,
Speaker 1: Gino was screwing up and it looked like he was.
Speaker 2: I don't know, just exhausted with it.
Speaker 1: And he last two years he had Pennix, he had rome,
Speaker 1: he had McMillan he had Polk. Their offense was unreal.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL and welcome to a bridge quarterback
Speaker 1: who sneaky wanted a contract extension this offseason. Thank god,
Speaker 1: John Schneider hung up the phone because Seattle that they're undoing.
Speaker 1: As you see in these big moments is the quarterback.
Speaker 1: And at three and zero and they were a sexy pick.
Speaker 1: Everyone's like, ah, this could be a team. They went
Speaker 1: nine wins the last two years. Sometimes we do that,
Speaker 1: Like you guys do understand, Pete Carroll's a Hall of Famer,
Speaker 1: so yeah, we can nitpick him. Everyone thinks he's a
Speaker 1: village idiot. They thought the same thing when they traded Russell.
Speaker 1: It's like, Pete, you just gotta let Russ cook, And
Speaker 1: they traded him and Denver let him cook and he
Speaker 1: burned down the kitchen. I actually think it's aged pretty
Speaker 1: well on Pete Carroll these last couple of years. Like, guys,
Speaker 1: he's he's not as bad as you think. Google the resume.
Speaker 1: As as Kurt Signette says in Indiana, google me go
Speaker 1: to Google and type in Pete Carroll. Mike McDonald, I
Speaker 1: am not out on this coaching staff, but I am
Speaker 1: out on the team because of the quarterback James had
Speaker 1: has to be one of the most underrated just players
Speaker 1: in sports right now.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: One thing today shed a light on was truly how
Speaker 1: shitty Deshaun Watson was because I'd have moments where you'd
Speaker 1: just be watching a random Browns game and the score
Speaker 1: was usually like seven to six in the third quarter,
Speaker 1: and you look at social media and all these stats
Speaker 1: are flying out about how statistically worse third down player
Speaker 1: of all time, his EPA, everything, it just didn't get
Speaker 1: any worse. And then he'd watch it every once in
Speaker 1: a while, like he'd hit a play, You're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's bad, and he ran into so many sacks, but
Speaker 1: it was like, I feel like I've seen worse. And
Speaker 1: then there were a moment, I'd say the last two
Speaker 1: weeks of his starts, You're like, yes, this is pretty atrocious.
Speaker 1: Then you watch Jamis today, who is scrambling around because
Speaker 1: they've struggled to protect they've had offensive line injuries thro
Speaker 1: out the year, keeping plays alike with his feet behind
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and just heaving the ball down
Speaker 1: the face, and it was like, yeah, DeShawn never really
Speaker 1: did that. He refused to push the ball down the field.
Speaker 1: Now they got lucky Jamis. Now, granted they still had
Speaker 1: all three timeouts, he should have thrown an interception to
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton, and Kyle Hamilton is if I was a
Speaker 1: betting man, when his career is all said and done,
Speaker 1: I think he will be a Hall of Famer. He
Speaker 1: is one of the best defensive players in the NFL.
Speaker 1: He is a badass. He had as easy of an
Speaker 1: interception as he'll ever get and he dropped it. And
Speaker 1: the very next play Jamis throws the game winning touchdown.
Speaker 2: And it was cool.
Speaker 1: After the game, he's quoting eminem It's just he's a
Speaker 1: trip man. And I also think the shed's light to
Speaker 1: now Deshaun Watson has sank that franchise because last year
Speaker 1: offense was horrendous. Hurts his shoulder. Flacco comes in playoffs
Speaker 1: this year, It's like, how can you keep everyone's saying, well,
Speaker 1: the answer simple, two hundred and thirty million dollars guaranteed.
Speaker 1: Then he gets injured. Jamis comes in.
Speaker 2: Even if they.
Speaker 1: Had lost today, they had not looked like that all
Speaker 1: this year with Deshaun Watson and all last year pre
Speaker 1: Flacco with Deshaun Watson, that version of the Browns would
Speaker 1: not have one win.
Speaker 2: Sitting here before the Ravens game.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they would have a winning record, but
Speaker 1: their season. If Jamis had just started all season long
Speaker 1: and just played like that, obviously he would have some
Speaker 1: bad games as well. They're a three win team. And
Speaker 1: that's where if you're a Browns fan, under no circumstances,
Speaker 1: no one cares about the contract. The money's been paid, Jimmy,
Speaker 1: that guy can never start for us again, whether it's Flacco,
Speaker 1: whether it's Jamis, whether it's some fucking kid in college
Speaker 1: right now, that guy's never playing quarterback for us again.
Speaker 1: And if he does, if you're a Browns fan, got
Speaker 1: to quit the team because that would be the biggest
Speaker 1: fu anyone's ever given to any fan base of all time.
Speaker 1: Like we've given it two seasons multiple times. Other quarterbacks
Speaker 1: come in and things change immediately. Overrated last year the Raiders,
Speaker 1: they tend to have their Super Bowl randomly throughout a
Speaker 1: season when they win five or six games. They beat
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes embarrassed them on Christmas, and as we went
Speaker 1: to the offseason, their coach doing all these podcasts said,
Speaker 1: we have Mahomes rules and it was like pumping his
Speaker 1: chest out. Then they played the Chiefs today and they lost,
Speaker 1: honestly pretty handily. Gardner Minshew threw a touchdown late in
Speaker 1: the game to make the score look a lot closer
Speaker 1: than it was. It was twenty seven to thirteen. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd probably keep my mouth shut about that guy if
Speaker 1: my team has had two winning seasons in the last
Speaker 1: twenty five years. I do think one underrated part about
Speaker 1: the NFL unlike college, because in college like Ohio State,
Speaker 1: I'm sure is getting a lot of shit in Columbus
Speaker 1: right at Alabama's people were I guess they ended up
Speaker 1: winning decently in Missouri.
Speaker 2: But when you're a.
Speaker 1: Big time team and you barely beat a team that
Speaker 1: everyone thinks that you should beat by double digits, people
Speaker 1: are pissed. No one apologizes in the NFL, and the
Speaker 1: Chiefs today got thrown a bone because the Ravens lost
Speaker 1: another game. The Bills already have two losses, and the
Speaker 1: Chiefs have already beat the Ravens. They played the Bills
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks, but currently they have a
Speaker 1: two game lead on them, and I think the Chief's
Speaker 1: next game is at Tampa who's missing their two wide receivers.
Speaker 2: That's probably a w for the Chiefs. Winning ugly is
Speaker 2: a good thing.
Speaker 1: I mean, there is nothing like in the NFL showing
Speaker 1: up Monday morning after a win. So many teams and
Speaker 1: this happens all the time. You play really well and
Speaker 1: then you screw something up in the fourth quarter and
Speaker 1: you lose. Like that sucks. And the Chiefs are now
Speaker 1: seven and zero and everyone's been nitpicking this team Mahomes
Speaker 1: and stats their offense, they're passing game. It's like the
Speaker 1: dust's gonna settle and what's their record gonna be? Like
Speaker 1: to me, they're more likely to be I mean, is
Speaker 1: this a fifteen and two team? Like they're not twelve
Speaker 1: and five. I would say worst case scenario at this
Speaker 1: point in time, as long as Mahomes stays healthy, thirteen
Speaker 1: and four feels like a pretty good stretch, or I
Speaker 1: mean a pretty big stretch because you got ten games left,
Speaker 1: so to get to thirty, they're gonna go six and four.
Speaker 1: Like if they go six and four now, they'd be
Speaker 1: thirteen and four, seven and three, Like, are they gonna
Speaker 1: lose three games?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Man overrated quarterback health look at Matt Lafleur, who Jordan
Speaker 1: love now, who has so many passes throughout a game
Speaker 1: that look exactly like Aaron Rodgers. You're like, what a
Speaker 1: dime and obviously throws a bad pick as well, throw
Speaker 1: a bad one to Day. But then Trevor Lawrence came
Speaker 1: right back I think the next play and through an interception,
Speaker 1: which is classic Trevor Lawrence. But he gets injured and
Speaker 1: it kind of looked like he tweaked his knee again.
Speaker 1: And then I didn't have the sound on because I
Speaker 1: had it I think on the Eagle Bengal game, and
Speaker 1: then I look up and Malik Willison the game. So
Speaker 1: I immediately go to the X channel, as my mother
Speaker 1: calls it, and figure out that he's got it growing
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden he's out and Milik Willis
Speaker 1: comes in. They just win the game. I mean, Laflora
Speaker 1: is having he's six and two now, and he has
Speaker 1: played a lot. It's not like, oh, he's only had
Speaker 1: to play like twenty snaps from Leagal Willis Like no,
Speaker 1: he's had to start multiple games with the guy. And
Speaker 1: then he had to play another game where I mean, hell,
Speaker 1: the game was tied when they got the ball back
Speaker 1: to lead him on a game winning drive. So at
Speaker 1: this point in time, listen, I'm a huge Jordan love guy,
Speaker 1: but shit, his health might be a little overrated For
Speaker 1: the Packers.
Speaker 2: It's kind of.
Speaker 1: Underrated how bad the Jags are. Even the day when
Speaker 1: they were on a feisty and making some plays, Trevor
Speaker 1: Lawrence had an awful, awful fumble, an awful interception. Their
Speaker 1: defense just gives up these enormous plays in the biggest spots.
Speaker 1: I do believe Trevor Lawrence is what do you factor
Speaker 1: in his money and the hype and the draft pick
Speaker 1: one of the most overrated players I've ever seen. Obviously,
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna blame Doug, but like, I don't know how
Speaker 1: much different this guy looks if you put him with Lafleur,
Speaker 1: Shanahan or McVeigh, they stink. Obviously, the most overrated team
Speaker 1: in the history of sports, when you factor in the hype,
Speaker 1: when you factor in the money, when you factor in
Speaker 1: the trades, would be the New York Jets to lose
Speaker 1: to Drod Mayo and Jacoby Burssett because Drake may got
Speaker 1: a concussion. I told Colin this, I never thought that
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissett would lead him on a game winning drive
Speaker 1: once the Jets scored and then had a delay of
Speaker 1: game and then didn't even get close to converting the
Speaker 1: two point conversion. I mean he got tackled like the
Speaker 1: three yard line. I still had full belief, Like I
Speaker 1: doubt the Patriots even get past the fifty yard line.
Speaker 1: And you watching different games, you look up, they busted
Speaker 1: a big play all of a sudden, they had a
Speaker 1: receiver for them to have a walk essentially a walk
Speaker 1: off touchdown. I know Jess technically got the ball back,
Speaker 1: but man, I just I've been saying this forever. Football
Speaker 1: is not a game of mercenaries. It's not a game
Speaker 1: where you can just put guys together like a baseball team,
Speaker 1: big names. If your coaches suck and their coaches suck,
Speaker 1: you could argue if you had to rank coaching staffs,
Speaker 1: especially now that Robert Sala has been removed, who immediately
Speaker 1: goes to the Packers. I mean it's the bottom might
Speaker 1: be the worst coaching staff in the league, especially when
Speaker 1: you factor the talent, like even if Bill Walsh was
Speaker 1: coaching the Carolina Panthers with Bryce Young and Andy Dalton, like,
Speaker 1: how many games are they actually winning? But this Jets team,
Speaker 1: can you imagine if like McVeigh, Laflora, Kyle Shanahan was
Speaker 1: their coach, I wouldn't pick them to win the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: but they would I don't know it. Worset be four
Speaker 1: and three, two, two and six, two and six, so
Speaker 1: two and six to get to eight wins. To get
Speaker 1: to eight wins, they would have to so two and six,
Speaker 1: they'd have to win six. They'd have to go six
Speaker 1: and three down the stretch. So a team that just
Speaker 1: went two and six would then have to go six
Speaker 1: and three. I mean, this is best case scenario seven wins.
Speaker 1: Best case scenario seven wins. Honestly, it's got implosion written
Speaker 1: all over it. They are very very close to being
Speaker 1: like four or five win team underrated. You gotta give
Speaker 1: him credit because he makes his comment after the international game,
Speaker 1: and then Belichick comes out with a little, you know,
Speaker 1: a little shotgun blast from the side, takes a huge,
Speaker 1: huge shot at Mayo and rightfully so you know, drawd
Speaker 1: Mayo's going behind his back last year.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 1: Let's if you if you if you think someone's wronged you,
Speaker 1: screwed you it's we all have our own individual experiences
Speaker 1: that are based on how we were treated by individual people.
Speaker 1: He feels like he helped put this guy on the map,
Speaker 1: He drafted him, he taught him the coaching world, and
Speaker 1: then this guy last year's meeting with Robert Craft behind
Speaker 1: his back. It had to feel for Bill, had to
Speaker 1: feel very slimy, even though Bill a slimy stuff too,
Speaker 1: But hey, we're all humans, and for Mayo to win
Speaker 1: this game had had to feel pretty damn good. Now,
Speaker 1: the shitty part about winning this game. If you're Mayo,
Speaker 1: everyone's talking about the Jets, not necessarily you, but you
Speaker 1: don't care. A win's a win. A couple other quick
Speaker 1: college things. Uh, I do think we the most overrated
Speaker 1: player I've seen this year, and I probably hyped him
Speaker 1: up as well. But the kid at Nebraska dealing, I
Speaker 1: think we need to pump the hype train on that
Speaker 1: guy because every time I watch him in a big spot,
Speaker 1: not only does he not come through, it can't look
Speaker 1: any worse.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I'm not blaming at all on him. I couldn't break
Speaker 1: down the strengths and weaknesses and how good his skill
Speaker 1: guys are, but he makes some horrendous plays in big spots.
Speaker 1: I mean, just some eye opening loser plays. I don't
Speaker 1: mean he's like I'm talking about football. I'm not talking
Speaker 1: about him as a person. I'm just saying, like the
Speaker 1: plays he makes lead to losing in big ass spots,
Speaker 1: turns the ball over, makes bad decisions. And if you're
Speaker 1: gonna be named baby Mahomes because you look like him,
Speaker 1: you move like him, I think we got to revoke
Speaker 1: that name if you don't even come close to playing
Speaker 1: like him on game day. I think this is the
Speaker 1: most underrated job in America. And people have been saying
Speaker 1: this forever. The Texas A and M is just to
Speaker 1: coach away And I always thought, like, I get you
Speaker 1: got a lot of money, and I get your recruit well,
Speaker 1: but this program for most of my life has always
Speaker 1: kind of looked the same. Now, some years they've been
Speaker 1: worse than others, but they have never ever been some
Speaker 1: powerhouse contender for multiple straight years. And then they get
Speaker 1: Elco from Duke who had also coached there, who just
Speaker 1: has this gigantic beer belly. It looks like he weighs like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, three hundred and twenty pounds. Love his
Speaker 1: look great dad bought and he comes and this guy
Speaker 1: is coaching his ass off and what he did on
Speaker 1: Saturday night, and listen, I have no dog in this fight.
Speaker 1: I went to cal Poly, so I'm not an SEC guy.
Speaker 1: I'm not a big ten guy. And I appreciate the history,
Speaker 1: the rivalries, the passion for all these people that went
Speaker 1: to those type schools. I'm jealous. It has to be real,
Speaker 1: really cool on Saturdays or the NCAA tournament to go.
Speaker 1: I went to Wisconsin, I went to Iowa, I went
Speaker 1: to Florida.
Speaker 2: Like that's sweet. I'm very jealous of you.
Speaker 1: But I watched the Wisconsin game against Penn State, and
Speaker 1: I watched Texas A and M game. And I've thought
Speaker 1: this for a while now, the difference of the night
Speaker 1: game crowds, just in terms of a viewer and the
Speaker 1: power of them. I feel like the SEC blows you
Speaker 1: guys out of the water, and clearly you have When
Speaker 1: I was at Friends of State, we played at Wisconsin.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to diminish Wisconsin or Penn State wide
Speaker 1: out or the Ohio State Michigan games. Obviously they have
Speaker 1: incredible crowds.
Speaker 2: There ain't nothing like that.
Speaker 1: There's nothing like I saw a couple weeks ago LSU
Speaker 1: at night against Ole miss or Texas A and M
Speaker 1: at night against LSU, or even that night three or
Speaker 1: four weeks ago Bama when they hosted Georgia. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: y'all don't have that in the bag, as they would
Speaker 1: say down there. And what Mike Elco's doing? Who are
Speaker 1: now in the fat? If TEXA and m beat South
Speaker 1: Carolina this week, they are a playoff team. They are
Speaker 1: a lock playoff team. And if they were to beat
Speaker 1: Texas the last game of the season, which is cool
Speaker 1: because that rivalry has been brought back from the dead
Speaker 1: because Texas joined the SEC, they would be in the
Speaker 1: SEC championship game. And who knows, I don't know exactly
Speaker 1: know how that's tie breakers work, and who knows who
Speaker 1: could lose a game. They could even lose that game
Speaker 1: and still be in the SEC championship game. So what
Speaker 1: Mike Elko has done. Those defensive linemen looked like a
Speaker 1: bunch of dudes that easily could have started for the
Speaker 1: Cowboys tonight.
Speaker 2: So that was cool.
Speaker 1: And last, but not least, I've watched a lot of
Speaker 1: Colorado over the last three or four weeks, they de
Speaker 1: undeserves a lot of credit because after that Nebraska game,
Speaker 1: even after the first win against North Dakota State, I
Speaker 1: thought it was gonna be a little very similar to
Speaker 1: last year. No running game, defense sucks, Schador has to
Speaker 1: be superhuman, Travis Hunter has to make crazy plays just
Speaker 1: to win five games. Well, they're six and two and
Speaker 1: they have been beating the shit out of people. They
Speaker 1: went on the road to UCF destroyed them, went on
Speaker 1: the road to Arizona, destroyed them, hosted Cincinnati, who was
Speaker 1: five and two, were up two touchdowns with four minutes
Speaker 1: to go, and they got Warren Sap on the sideline
Speaker 1: with what looked like, I mean a full tin of
Speaker 1: Copenhagen and half a pouch of red Man in his mouth,
Speaker 1: coaching his ass off. The defense is flying around, Their
Speaker 1: offensive run game is way better than early in the season,
Speaker 1: and obviously last year. The receivers are awesome. Travis Hunter's unreal,
Speaker 1: and they're just good. And they also easily could beat
Speaker 1: Kansas State like they are a couple plays away from
Speaker 1: being a team in position to be in the Big
Speaker 1: Twelve championship game. And if you get to that game,
Speaker 1: if you win the game, you're in the playoffs. They
Speaker 1: have a it's out of their control now, you know BYU.
Speaker 1: I don't think lost a game. They need someone to
Speaker 1: beat Kansas State. But it's college football.
Speaker 2: Anything could happen.
Speaker 1: But if they get to nine and three, I would
Speaker 1: have laughed.
Speaker 2: In your face if you would have told me after
Speaker 2: week two, like you.
Speaker 1: Know, Florida, some of these teams should be calling don
Speaker 1: he gets a nine and three with this squad. He's
Speaker 1: doing a hell of a job, he really is. And
Speaker 1: I would imagine if you live on the East Coast
Speaker 1: that game's kicked off. I had to kick off like
Speaker 1: eight o'clock at night. You probably didn't watch it. They
Speaker 1: just look like a buttoned up good team. Now, obviously
Speaker 1: they got a couple of NFL high end NFL players,
Speaker 1: but just as a unit, their defense is way better,
Speaker 1: their pass rush is way better. They're running games way better.
Speaker 1: Like I've come.
Speaker 2: A long way.
Speaker 1: I thought it was a lot of a lot of fluff.
Speaker 1: The uncle coach man, thanks for listening to people. Audios,
Speaker 1: have a good night.
Speaker 2: The volume
