1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? How are we doing?

2
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful Saturday because we just had football all

3
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: I woke up to football. I'm gonna go to bed

4
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: to football. And the Los Angeles Rams don't officially clinch

5
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: the division. They win ten games, obviously, regardless of what

6
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: happens on Sunday. They control their own destiny, but get

7
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: a kind of crazy win. The Arizona Cardinals have lost

8
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: a lot of crazy games as well. We'll discuss. I

9
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: honestly thought about after the Bengals beat Denver in overtime

10
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: to keep their season alive. When it you know, there

11
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: was a period if they got a first down they

12
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: could win it with a tie in terms of Denver.

13
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: If they tied, they would have cleanched the playoff spot.

14
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,479
Speaker 1: If that would happen, I might've just scrapped the Rams

15
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: game and gone right after. So that was nuts. I mean,

16
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: the final stretch of that game, the whole game, I

17
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 1: mean was it felt like a playoff game. And then

18
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: this morning definitely did not feel like a playoff game.

19
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: New England people were leaving the Chargers. I don't even know.

20
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: I think the final score was forty to seven. It

21
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: was a complete ass kicking. So we'll dive into a

22
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: little bit of football that happened today. Also, Colorado just

23
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: got destroyed by BYU. But unlike cam Ward who came

24
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: out at halftime, we'll address that because I got a

25
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: quick thought, we'll wind on that Shador and Travis Hunter.

26
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,559
Speaker 1: I look up. I barely even watched the Colorado games

27
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: because of watching the NFL game, but I looked up

28
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: about three minutes left and they were still in the game,

29
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: down down a lot. I mean they were down almost

30
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: thirty points. So we'll dive into some football. But first,

31
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,560

44
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: let's start with Sean McVay in the Rams who beat

45
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: the Cardinals and go to ten and six. I think

46
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: two things can be true. The way they started this

47
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: year just like the way they started last year. I

48
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: said it within the last month. Sean McVay does not

49
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: get enough credit for having like a Mike Tomlin like

50
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: quality of handling adversity. Shit hits the fan all of

51
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: a sudden, you're like, what the Rams one in four,

52
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: three and six boom double digit wins, And it is

53
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: these last two years are worth their weight in gold

54
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: to his resume. Obviously, once you win a Super Bowl,

55
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: you become a legendary coach, especially when you're his age,

56
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: and if you want to, you can coach for thirty five,

57
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: forty more years. But these last couple of years to me,

58
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: has defined how great of a coach he is. It

59
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: really is impressive. And I understand they had injuries, but

60
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: they found themselves in a hole. What they did is

61
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: they didn't keep digging. They dropped the shovel and they

62
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: found their way out, and all of a sudden they're

63
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: going to the playoffs again, not officially going to the playoffs.

64
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: As I'm recording this, I promise you the Rams will

65
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: be in the playoffs, pretty confident on that, and maybe

66
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: by the end of tomorrow, based on some strength of

67
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: schedule rules, they will be officially in and they can

68
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: get hats and t shirts on Monday morning when they

69
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: come to the office. Last year, though, down the stretch,

70
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: when they're rattling off a bunch of wins, I think

71
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: they went seven and one heading into the playoffs, they

72
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: looked like a well oiled machine. Offensively, they were awesome,

73
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: and Puka Nakua had become a star by then. Well

74
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: he's even better now in twenty twenty four. Every time

75
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: you look up he's making a play. Every time the

76
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: game ends, you check the box score, it's like ten

77
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: for one, twenty eleven for ninety seven. I mean, the guy,

78
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: he's a machine, breaking tackles, tough catches, he's a badass.

79
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: But their offense is off. It is not working. And

80
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, like Cooper cup who was injured last year,

81
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 1: who in theory is healthy right now but had one catch.

82
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: Tonight had three catches yesterday or I guess not yesterday,

83
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: but last week against the Jets, did not have a

84
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: catch against the forty nine ers. So they're basically a

85
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: one man band in the passing game. Luckily, that one

86
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: man is one of the best receivers in the league,

87
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: and they're just not an explosive offense right now. So

88
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: this team going into the playoffs, who is gonna be

89
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: the three seed and host? More than likely the Packers.

90
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: Like last year, I thought they could make a run

91
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: even though they were playing the Lions, and hell, they

92
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: almost won that game. They are not playing like that

93
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: right now. Now. Their defense, their young front is excellent.

94
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: They have a physicality to them. Obviously their dbs. Tonight

95
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: made some great plays. I mean the pick at the

96
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: end by a Kella Weatherspoon, former forty nine er. Awesome play,

97
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: little unlucky for the Cardinals, who felt like they were driving.

98
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: I felt like they were gonna win the game before

99
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: Kyler led off that Nolan Ryan fastball and hit Trey

100
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: McBride's head. It's a really tough play. Timing gets a

101
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: little off. I had full confidence. I'm like the Rams

102
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: are gonna lose this game because when all else failed,

103
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: I thought Kyler would run around and run in the

104
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: end zone, because that is a play in that situation.

105
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: Once you get close to the goal line, everyone's running

106
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: toward the pylons in the back of the end zone.

107
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, he keeps the play alive and

108
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: then he jolts in the end zone. That's what I

109
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: thought was gonna happen. So for them to lose it

110
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: on that first down, hit Trey in the head man,

111
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: That's a tough way to lose and also a lucky

112
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: way to win. Now you get credit. You find ways

113
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: to win. The Chiefs did half the season. They're fifteen

114
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: to one. This team has done it countless times over

115
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: the last couple of months, and they're ten and six.

116
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: But you go back in this month, you removed the

117
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: Buffalo game, in which I don't know is one of

118
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: the finest performances you'll ever see. They scored like one

119
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: hundred points in the game. They were unstoppable on offense.

120
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: If you go the previous week against the Saints, they

121
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,239
Speaker 1: look like shit. They ended up winning that game twenty

122
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: one to fourteen, but for a large portion of the game,

123
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 1: I think it was like seven to seven. They were

124
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: not playing well. The forty nine Er game was atrocious.

125
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: I mean their offense was in the first half. I

126
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: think Matt Stafford had forget was it four yards or

127
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: four completions? It was. It's as bad of an offensive

128
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: performance as you're gonna get. Last week. Is a guy

129
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: that had money on the Jets. Now, I gave them

130
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: a little bit of a pass last week coming off

131
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: the massive win even though it wasn't a good looking

132
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: win offensively against the forty nine ers, going across the

133
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: country early morning game against Aaron Rodgers who looked a

134
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,119
Speaker 1: little bit better, I wasn't gonna put that much stock

135
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: into the game. But then when you look at that game,

136
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: you look at the forty nine er game, you look

137
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: at the Saints game, and then you look at the

138
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: night You're like, I don't know what's going on, but

139
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: how could you pick this team despite being at home

140
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: if they got to play the Packers in the first round,

141
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: which last year I thought the way there were plays

142
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: like could this team win the NFC? I mean, so

143
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: both teams storming into the playoffs last year they were

144
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: a wild card obviously because the forty nine ers were

145
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: the one seed this year, They're gonna host a playoff game,

146
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: and I don't like them nearly as much, even though

147
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: I have so much respect and admiration for the job

148
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: the coach did. But I don't know if it's Stafford's age.

149
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: Something is just off. I can't quite put my finger

150
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: on it. They got health in terms of their own

151
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: offensive pieces. But maybe it's Cooper Cupp's age. Maybe Stafford

152
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: just at this age is a little off. Obviously he's

153
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: still good, but how many drives And maybe there's a

154
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: Stafford thing. But since he's been on the Rams, I

155
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: can count just countless times when he could have thrown

156
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: multiple picks on a drive and then it ends in

157
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: a touchdown. You're like he had. Maybe he gets credit

158
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: for this because his arms so strong. It's like a

159
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: pitcher who throws ninety nine misses a spot, but you

160
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: still swing and missus Like, yeah, well I throw ninety nine.

161
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: If I threw ninety three, that ball might be in

162
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: the left field bleachers. But I throw hard. And maybe

163
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: that's a little bit of Stafford because balls go through

164
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: guy's hands. But man, I don't know. I just the

165
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: defense is playing their balls off every other play, it

166
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: feels like I'm passing downs eights running around in the backfield.

167
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: Fisk and Jared Versa have been just fantastic draft picks.

168
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: Their dbs make plays, even the pick they had on

169
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: the Kyler bond, which I think Kyler becomes a listen.

170
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: Jonathan Gannon having this team this competitive with their talent

171
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: is remarkable. It's really an excellent coaching staff or a

172
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: job by the staff of Gannon and his two coordinators.

173
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: So Rales and Petsing like those I think the two

174
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: youngest coordinator combo in the NFL. The bald dude petsiic

175
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: that's awesome. In Raless, who's I think like thirty three

176
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: thirty four years old, former linebacker in college, and I'm

177
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: pretty sure he's the youngest coordinator. Definitely guy that actually

178
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: calls place in the league. Their team is not that talented,

179
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: especially their defense, but I think a lot of people go,

180
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: is Kyler a franchise quarterback and he's kind of an

181
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: enigma because he's clearly not a top six or seven guy,

182
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: but he's clearly better than a lot of guys, and

183
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: his talent is really evident. But on a series, the

184
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: series basis, you never know what you're gonna get. Obviously,

185
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: the pick Trey McBride, like, I don't even know if

186
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: that's a any one's fault. It's kind of a freak play.

187
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: And then the bomb on the previous drive where Marvin

188
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: leaped and it was just I don't know off by

189
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: what a foot. But he makes some throws to the sideline,

190
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: obviously his running ability, some of his explosive playability. But

191
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: then he makes not necessarily to night, but just throughout

192
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: the season, definitely the last month, some terrible interceptions, terrible decisions.

193
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: But to me, he's not going anywhere, Like he's gonna

194
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: be their quarterback next year. And if I was them,

195
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: like if I was part of the front office, if

196
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: I own the team, I just feel like, let's keep building. Eventually,

197
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: we'll try to get this team good enough. If we

198
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: can get out of the contract, if we can move on,

199
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: we will pivot. But like caler Murry is gonna be

200
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: their quarterback next year, and you could do a lot worse.

201
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: And by all accounts, they like the guy. He's changed

202
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: from the guy that got the call of duty clause

203
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 1: in his contract and matured. No one's considering the guy

204
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: like Peyton Manning or Tom Brady from a work ethics standpoint,

205
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: but clearly it's not an issue like it was. People

206
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: nitpick his sulking on the sideline, likes not the best

207
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: body language. But he's gonna be their starting quarterback next year.

208
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: I just keep drafting guys, keep building this team because

209
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: they got a long way to go. They have so

210
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: many fucking holes. It's crazy for them to end up.

211
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: If they win next week with eight wins, they play

212
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, so who knows they could They

213
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: could definitely win that game. That's an excellent coaching job

214
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: by Jonathan Gannon. If I was a Cardinal fan, I'd

215
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: be kind of excited, just like, let's keep adding pieces

216
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: and just see. We've seen Kyler on a really talented

217
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: team before, you know, get double digit wins and be

218
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: a playoff team. Now, is he ever taking you far?

219
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: I would say based on what we've seen so far, no,

220
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: But he's definitely good enough if your team is good

221
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: enough for you to be competitive. Hell, they've been really

222
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: competitive this year for the most part, with you know,

223
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 1: a roster that can't be ranked that high relative to

224
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: NFL teams. Bengals Denver. I think we got to set

225
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: the scene at the end of the game in regulation,

226
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: once Brown hits the ground to try to run out

227
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: the clock. Obviously they get unlucky when he gets injured

228
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: and they have to call a timeout right for based

229
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: on the injury for runoff, and it's not runoff, but

230
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: the rule is when they call a Bengal timeout, so

231
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos get their time out back, so they

232
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: have a timeout. It's second down, right well, you get

233
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: two more downs even if they waste a timeout. If

234
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 1: you kneel twice, you will run forty seconds off and

235
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: there was like a buck twenty on, so they will

236
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: get the ball back assuming you hit the field goal,

237
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: which as we found out in overtime was no lock

238
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: with about forty seconds to go and no timeouts and

239
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: have to drive. I would say to get themselves feel comfortable,

240
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: like a fifty five yard field goal, like a pretty

241
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: several first downs. Instead, he hits the ground to try

242
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: to run out the clock. Again, no one's fault. He

243
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: gets injured. The Bengals are forced to use a timeout,

244
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: not because Zach Taylor does, but that's league rules, and

245
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: Denver gets it back. But then they go for a

246
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: touchdown on the next drive or I mean, excuse me,

247
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: on the next play, and obviously Bro scores does the

248
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 1: gritty and they take the lead. You give the ball

249
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: back to Sean Payton with like a buck twenty five

250
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: and a timeout. That's insane, Like that's just I couldn't

251
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: even fathom what was going on there. It made no sense.

252
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 1: It was crazy because in the NFL, the clock doesn't

253
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: stop after a first down, so with forty seconds has

254
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: no timeout. We guard the sideline. If you get caught

255
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: and bounds, you're wasting twenty seconds guaranteed. And if I

256
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: tackle you in bounds multiple times, there's no way you

257
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: can get the kicker on the field. It ain't gonna happen.

258
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: You would be in major, major trouble the clock management

259
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: at the end of that game, And I get Denver

260
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: got their time out. And I haven't even seen Zach

261
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: Taylor's comments. I'm sure he will say that influenced their

262
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: decision to run the quarterback sneak with Bro. It's insane.

263
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 1: I just I can't. I can't get behind it. I

264
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: really can't. And even that drive earlier in that drive

265
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: and I get they don't have a kicker they're totally

266
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: comfortable with. They're just throwing NonStop. And on second down

267
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: Burrow misses Jamar Chase and it just stops the clock

268
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: and Denver didn't have to use the timeout. Now on

269
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: the next play he hits them. But it was like,

270
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: am I living in the Twilight zone? What are you

271
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: guys doing? Run out the clock here? Run out the clock?

272
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: Do not give them back with any timeout or time left,

273
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: especially with timeouts. I didn't understand it. And listen, Zach

274
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: Taylor takes a lot of shit in a weird way.

275
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: He doesn't get any credit despite Joe Burrow having like

276
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: one of the great seasons of all time. But your

277
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: job as a head coach is more than the offensive coordinator.

278
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: You gotta have some game management skills, and it feels

279
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: like Zach Taylor does not. Now they ended up winning

280
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: the game because they have He's not gonna win the

281
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: MVP because his team's gonna win eight or nine games.

282
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: But clearly one of the best players on the planet

283
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: who is playing out of his fucking mind. And here's

284
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: the thing with Burrow, especially today, the Denver Bronco defense

285
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: somehow turned into the eighty five Bears for most of

286
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: this year. They lead the league in sacks. All their

287
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: dbs fly around and hit their team speed is fantastic.

288
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: They sacked Joe Burrow like seven times a day, and

289
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: it felt like he got hit double that he was

290
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: getting crunched play after play after play. And one thing

291
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: with Burrow unlike definitely Josh Allen, obviously Lamar even Herbert

292
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: like he is. He plays a lot like you know what,

293
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: I realized it a lot like Andrew Luck. He will

294
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: sit in a lot like the old school quarterbacks, the

295
00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:00,359
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, you know, young Tom Peyton, those pocket guys

296
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: that will sit in Now he'll move a little bit more,

297
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: but he wants to throw the ball from within the pocket,

298
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: so he'll wait like till the last split second, throw

299
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: a dart that just hits a guy in stride as

300
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: he's getting crunched. It's like Joe, and I don't blame him.

301
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: I respect it. And that's why he's such a great player.

302
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: And today, I mean against one of the better secondaries

303
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: in the league and obviously the best passers in the league.

304
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: He was thirty nine to forty nine, four hundred yards

305
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns. Now they played an extra ten minutes

306
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: of the game, but still he was the essentially the

307
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: game winning throw. I guess he threw a game when

308
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: he touched down to Higgins, but the play before, two

309
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: plays before, when he hits Higgins down the sideline, LA's

310
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: that's as good as you get. It doesn't get any

311
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: better than that throw. And you talk about a guy,

312
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: and this is what you want in sports, And this

313
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: is why when we nitpicked, like how much should Perdy get?

314
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: If it's Dak and Tua, it's like we're just arguing

315
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: these second tier guys till we're blue in the face.

316
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: If you don't have one of those guys like you got,

317
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: you're just not gonna win that big right Like that,

318
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: that's what a max quarterback looks like. That is exactly

319
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: what it looks like. Hell. I love Justin Herbert, I do,

320
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: and I would take Justin Herbert on my team, but

321
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: not over that cause even today, like Justin missed a

322
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 1: couple throws and I get it's cold, but it's like

323
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: that he is, like we don't talk about him being

324
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: the top dog, but you're watching today, You're like, this

325
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: guy is a bad fucking dude. Man, he is a

326
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: This is everything you'd want when you draft a quarterback

327
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: high and then you give him the unlimited money. You

328
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: never ever think twice. If I ever have to think

329
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 1: twice or sit down at the table and have a

330
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: conversation with the owner, with my assistant GM, with my

331
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: coaches and argue it out, then it's like we're probably

332
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: paying a guy that we're not comfortable paying. But Joe Burrow,

333
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, those teams have never

334
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: once thought twice since pulling the trigger. And now that

335
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers have a real coach, it'll

336
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: never cross the Charger's mind ever. Those guys are in

337
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 1: a different world than everybody else. They're like playing a

338
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: different sport. Can you imagine having like a fifty million

339
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: dollar quarterback if you're a GM, if you're a coach,

340
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: if you're a fan, and knowing you don't have one

341
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: of those guys. Now, Luckily, the NFC guys are kind

342
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: of lucky that basically they're all in the AFC, But

343
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: imagine being in the AFC and not having one of

344
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: those guys. God's feet good luck, because you're never winning.

345
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: Dick now Bo Nicks. He threw a bad pick late

346
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: in the game. It was hard to tell, like it

347
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: looked like his arm got hit, but after he released it,

348
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 1: he just made a bad throw. It got picked off.

349
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: But I thought in the second half, beside that throw,

350
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 1: he was excellent. Threw a beautiful ball in the uh

351
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: to the back right pylon to Sutton for a touchdown.

352
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: One thing I heard NonStop from a lot of people

353
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: covering the draft was he know his physical skills or

354
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: just kind of meh, was physical skills mad because you're

355
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 1: just watching him throw bubble screens and stuff in college

356
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: that's kind of their offense. Or do you not think

357
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: he has a strong arm, because I remember after me

358
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: and Colin talked about it, I watched him and I

359
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: was like, I think he's pretty physically gifted. And today

360
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: he threw a ball seventy yards hit the guy in

361
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: strike look like Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen making that throw.

362
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: And then the throw he made on fourth and one.

363
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: You talk about physical skills, keeping the play alive with

364
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: his feet, throwing a perfect ball to give his guy Mims,

365
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: who I really like, I mean, watching this guy the

366
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: second half of the season talk about a playmaker in

367
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: you know between the two dbs, what an incredible play.

368
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 1: And that gets back to Zach Taylor for fucking up

369
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: the end of the game. They never should have had

370
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: that opportunity. There shouldn't have been that much time on

371
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: the clock to even It's like, what are you guys doing?

372
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 1: But we already discussed that. But like Bo Nicks, if

373
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: you're a Denver Bronco fan, I know today sucks because

374
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: you had a chance to solidify it. I still believe

375
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: big picture, next week you're playing Kansas City. They have

376
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing to play for now. There Carson Wentz and

377
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 1: whoever actually is playing is going to play hard. And

378
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz with Andy Reid, they're going to try to

379
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: win the game. But if you can't beat Carson Wentz,

380
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: who hasn't played a game all season long in Denver,

381
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: you don't belong in the playoffs. I believe, as we

382
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: say here, the Denver Broncos will win that game. But

383
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: it's football. We've seen crazier. It's all the pressures on

384
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: them take care of business. If they play like they did,

385
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: especially in the second half today, they will win that game.

386
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: All the guys are sitting obviously. Chris Jones didn't play Wednesday,

387
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: but he's not gonna play in that game. No chance,

388
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: Kelsey plays, no chance, Mahomes plays, no chance, Hopkins plays,

389
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: no chance, Trent McDuffie plays. I mean, these guys will

390
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: be in sweats that they will not even dress. So

391
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: I think the Denver Broncos, who I don't want to say,

392
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: kicking themselves because they were down late in the game.

393
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: It was just remarkable that they even forced overtime. I

394
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: guess they had their opportunities in overtime. They got a

395
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: first stop on the first series, got the ball back.

396
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: But it's hard. I mean, it's just I don't remember

397
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: a quarterback start to finish in a year who was

398
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: as polarizing as him. He was in the draft because one,

399
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 1: a lot of people didn't think he should be a

400
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: first round pick, let alone a top fifteen pick. A

401
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: lot of people thought Sean Payton was really arrogant about

402
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: making the selection, and then early on it was Rocky.

403
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: You know, you're watching him like is this gonna be

404
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,239
Speaker 1: good enough? Is this gonna work? This young guy has

405
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: improved so much. Now he's benefited. He has a great coach,

406
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: right who's won at a high clip in the NFL

407
00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: for a long time. He has a fantastic defense, but

408
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:06,239
Speaker 1: he's thrown to sudden really good player Mims Franklin and

409
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams. I mean he's not exactly you know, Rod

410
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: Smith and Ed McCaffrey and Terrell Davis are out there

411
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 1: like in Shannon Sharp. So his offense, we'll look back

412
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: in a couple of years, this will be the worst

413
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: group of offensive pieces he will have. So I think

414
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: what he's doing is is just fantastic. He has his

415
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: level of growth this season. If I was a Broncos fan, listen,

416
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's gonna be Josh Allen or

417
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. I would bet against it as being like

418
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: a top five guy, but he sure looks like a

419
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:41,959
Speaker 1: guy that in a couple of years could be a

420
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: top ten NFL quarterback. And obviously he has plays like

421
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: an elite NFL quarterback, but just start to finish putting

422
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 1: games together. I don't think this rookie season could have

423
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: gone that much better than it has for bo Nicks

424
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: in terms of the positivity. And everyone's going to be

425
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: so excited next year as this team gets better and better,

426
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: you know, as they move on from some of their

427
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: dead money from Russell. But that game was bananas. It

428
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: was thrilling, it really was. It was freaking awesome, partly

429
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: because some of the crazy plays that were made, Joe

430
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: Burrow just playing like he was like out of a

431
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: video game. The absolute buffoonery by Zach Taylor at the

432
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: end of the game. It's like, how are you doing this?

433
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: If they would have lost the game? And I'm not

434
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: pro or anti, I'm kind of indifferent, Like sometimes I've

435
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,479
Speaker 1: watched him this year and I've understand the Bengals, but

436
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: you also got to give him credit for the offense

437
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: playing really well. I bet some of you would say

438
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: it's Burrow, Chase and Higgins at this point in time,

439
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: anyone could coach him, and maybe that's true. If he

440
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: would have lost that game, Denver would have won it

441
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: an overtime. You cannot bring him back. I don't care

442
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: how cheap the owner is. There's no way he could

443
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: ever coach for the Bengals ever. Again, you could fire

444
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 1: him before Week eighteen, obviously their season would have been over,

445
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: but he could not have returned. It would have been

446
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: over unofficially and officially formed he would have had to go.

447
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: But they pull a game out of their ass. And

448
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: I mean they were a third and nine away from

449
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos, just kneeling it to tie to ending

450
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: their season, but instead they have this crazy win with

451
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,239
Speaker 1: T Higgins in the corner of the end zone. I

452
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: can't imagine how. It's just the jubilation of everyone leaving

453
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 1: the h that old decred. I have been to that

454
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: stadium and it's old and shitty, but it is just

455
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: there's a purity to It's just about football. When you

456
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: walk in there, there's you know, we're not This isn't

457
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 1: Jerry's world, right, There ain't these big sweets everywhere. This

458
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 1: is blue collar crowd coming to watch Joe and uh,

459
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 1: they gotta win. So props to them. Props to the

460
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: Broncos too, what a what a great season. Honestly, everyone

461
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: thought that the Broncos and let's face it, the Chargers

462
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 1: were going to suck. It would be the Chargers are

463
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. It would be stunning to me if

464
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: the Broncos are not. It's the most wonderful time of

00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: Let's get to the Chargers. Why isn't Jim Harbaugh the

493
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: coach of the year discussion? You know Kevin O'Connell a

494
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. One didn't they win like twelve

495
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: or thirteen games? The year they lost to Daniel Jones

496
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: in the first round of the playoffs. Last year, Remember

497
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: they started slow, but then before Cousins had torn his achilles,

498
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: they were playing really well. He's a high level coach.

499
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: Now if he wins out and he wins the North,

500
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: I got no problem voting for Kevin O'Connell, but like,

501
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: his team was really good with him as the coach before.

502
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 1: Now if you want to give him extra credit for

503
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, Okay, who else? Dan Campbell? Yeah? Dan Campbell

504
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: was in the NFC Championship game last year, so Kevin

505
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: O'Connell's been to the playoffs. Dan Campbell was in the

506
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game. Jim Harbo took over a franchise that

507
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 1: Brandon Staley had literally lit on fire, had burned it

508
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: down to the fucking studs. The franchise was a joke.

509
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 1: They went five and twelve. They were like two spots

510
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: away from like the Patriots and the Washington Commanders last year.

511
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: People forget they drafted fifth overall. The reason Joe alt

512
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: is on their team is because they drafted fifth overall.

513
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 1: They drafted ahead of Brian Dabo and the Giants, who

514
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 1: played the majority of the season last year with Tommy DeVito.

515
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: Jim Harpaugh has taken over two NFL teams the previous

516
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: year before he showed up. They combined for six and

517
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: five wins, so eleven wins total. If he wins next

518
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: week against the Raiders, news flash, he's going to He

519
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 1: will have taken a team two teams that had won

520
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 1: eleven games and won twenty four combined games the next season.

521
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: And the thing with the forty nine ers. Turns out

522
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: that team was loaded. They had Willis and Bowman and

523
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: offensive line with Sweet Frank Gore, Vernon Davis, Michael Crabtree,

524
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: They'd signed Carlos Rodgers, Justin Smith was already on the team.

525
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: They had draft Alden Smith. Ahmud Brooks was on the team.

526
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: Like they had fantastic players. Jim Harbo was like Keenan Allen,

527
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: one of the best wide receivers in the history of

528
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: the franchise. We're trading you, Mike Williams. We're cutting you,

529
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack. Joey, you've been injured on stop. Khalil,

530
00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: it feels like you're a little overpaid right now. We're

531
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: bringing back, but we got to step up. Those two

532
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: guys look awesome. He's leading receivers Lad McConkey, who might

533
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: end the season with like eighty five receptions. Everyone's like

534
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: he's taken Malik Neighbors. He's like, absolutely not. I'm taking

535
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: a right tackle because the offensive line is the tip

536
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: of the spear, and his defenses are always good no

537
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: matter who he coaches. His defensive coordinator has changed over

538
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: the years, but one thing is consistent. They are good.

539
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh has the Chargers a week away from winning

540
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: eleven games. The Chargers were arguably the laughing stock of

541
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: the league. Last year, them and the Panthers, they lost

542
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: a game to the Raiders where they lost like seventy

543
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: to ten and everyone got fired the next day. It

544
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: was a Thursday night football game. I remember watching it

545
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: because I was in Vegas that weekend or that Thursday night.

546
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: It's crazy what he's accomplished and like the thing that

547
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: he does everywhere he goes. He's one of the great

548
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: team builders we've ever seen because his number one characteristically

549
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: its like, are you tough physical guy? A lot of

550
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: people talk about it every time a guy's hired in

551
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: college of the pros. We want tough, physical people that

552
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: bleed football, and then they draft like a corner or

553
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. It's like, no, you don't, you don't.

554
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: Harbaugh lives what he preaches and clearly the way he

555
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: practices with kind of an older school mentality of running

556
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: the football works today. Look like that was. As you know,

557
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: if you just turn on like the Animal Planet and

558
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: you watch like an apex predator, you know, like a

559
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: lion or a polar bear or like a killer whales

560
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: when they hunt and they just have the thing circled

561
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: and you're like this gazelle is so done for you know,

562
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: like when a seal is like swimming away from those

563
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: killer whales, is like they are gonna rip this thing

564
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: to shreds. Or like when a gator comes out of

565
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: the nile, you know, and grabs like a cheetah just

566
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,239
Speaker 1: trying to get a couple SIPs of water in one

567
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety degree temperature, and that gator grabs it

568
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: and just starts troling it around. Body parts are flying everywhere.

569
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: That was Jim Harbaugh today stepping into Foxborough looking at

570
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: grod MAO and that joke of an operation they're doing,

571
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: and went, listen, I don't even know how many awesome

572
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: players we have on this team. You can probably count

573
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: on one hand our quarterback, our left tackle or right tackle.

574
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: I mean mcconkey's our best offensive weapon, Khalil Max in

575
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: year eleven, Derwin James, who looked like he was washed

576
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: last year because of Brandon Staley, who will just ruin careers,

577
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: has Derwin James looking like Ronnie Lott. Today, we are

578
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: going to absolutely undress everything your organization stands for in

579
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: front of the entire nation, because no one's doing anything

580
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: but having the football game. On in the morning, and

581
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: it got worse and worse and worse and worse, and

582
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: then they showed the graphic today of the trade Joe

583
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: Ortiz made where the Patriots traded back and they traded

584
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: to the Chargers for basically, I don't know, the Chargers

585
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: went from thirty seven to thirty four to get lad McConkie,

586
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: and either they flip flopped or something happened, maybe they

587
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: gave their third round pick and got an extra like

588
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: fourth or something, because they got lad McConkie as seventy

589
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: seven catches in over a thousand yards and still the

590
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: dB who has four interceptions. With the pick that the

591
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: Patriots traded back for to pick thirty seven, where the

592
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: Chargers were sitting, they took Polk, the wide receiver from Washington,

593
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: who most people thought was the worst of the group.

594
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: Obviously Rome was the best. A lot of people thought

595
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: he was the worst. He has twelve catches this year.

596
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: And they also drafted with pick one ten Avon Baker,

597
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: who does not have a catch. I don't know if

598
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: he's on injured reserve playing or not. I don't know.

599
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: But the Patriots are an embarrassment and that's what the

600
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: Chargers were last year. They were that except they had

601
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert too, and they had Keenan Allen. They had

602
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: Derwin James. They had these players they would you know,

603
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: some of them got injured a game or two, but

604
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: like they played in games and they couldn't operate. Brandon

605
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: Saley looked like Gerard Mayo. He had no clue what

606
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: he's doing now. No one thinks the Patriots should be

607
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: a playoff team like Jim Harbaugh, but no one thought

608
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: the Chargers were going to be a playoff team once

609
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh got there. It baffles my mind. One of

610
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: my great regrets. I said it before the season. I'm like,

611
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: how does this team not make the playoffs? And I

612
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: let group think. You guys in my DMS, people texting

613
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: me listeners of the show like Middlecoff, you're crazy. They

614
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: do not have the talent and you're not wrong. Who's

615
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: he gonna throw to? That's not a crazy question. And

616
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: you know what the answer is, It doesn't fucking matter

617
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: because if Jim Harbaughs your coach, You're gonna do a

618
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: couple of things. You're gonna play defense, You're gonna be

619
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 1: able to run the ball and your quarterback is gonna

620
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: be efficient. And it turns out Lad mcconkee's Wes Welker

621
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: meets Julian Edelman and gonna be a star in this league.

622
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 1: And when JK. Dobbins, it turns out is like Walter

623
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,439
Speaker 1: Payton because if you know, they have not been able

624
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: to run the ball, and he comes back, boom, four

625
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: yards of carry nineteen Carrey seventy six yards. But mcconkay

626
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,720
Speaker 1: today eight for ninety four. Quentin Johnson five for fifty,

627
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 1: Joshua Palmer, who had one of the most awesome stretched

628
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: out catches you'll see, had four for forty one. I

629
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: mean they're thrown to stone Smart, Darius Davis, will Disley,

630
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 1: Tucker Fisk, whose dad is Jason Fisk, who was a

631
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: former defensive tackle for the ten Titans and the Steve McNair,

632
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: Eddie George Days, whose half brother Chuck Bnow was a

633
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: high school teammate of mine at Davis High School, who

634
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: told a famous story about this one. The Titans were

635
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: really good and we were in high school again. His

636
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,280
Speaker 1: brother had gone to Stamford was just a starting player

637
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: for Jeff Fisher's defense with those Titans team. So he

638
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: wore a Jason Fisz jersey to the Raider game. They

639
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: were playing the Titans on Monday Night football. Again, this

640
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: is his brother. I was like at the time, I

641
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 1: didn't quite understand, but I remember the next day at

642
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: school he said that he was going to get a

643
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 1: Coca Cola or something right during a break in the game,

644
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: and he's wearing this Titans fist jersey at the Coliseum

645
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: against the Raiders. This is like the heyday with John

646
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: Gruden and Kyleahan might have been the coach. It was

647
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: like either two thousand, two thousand and one, two thousand

648
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: and two, somewhere in that range. And he looks up

649
00:35:53,840 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: and he starts hearing rays, rayors and the escalators going

650
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 1: up by him, and the way he told the story

651
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 1: I remember being so funny. And he looks around and

652
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: every single Raider fan is staring at him in the

653
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: line to get like a pretzel in a soda, and

654
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: they're just channing it as he's sitting there, and he

655
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: thought he was gonna get killed. Turns out he didn't,

656
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,439
Speaker 1: and I think the Titans probably won, but uh yeah,

657
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: So shout out to Jay Tucker Fisk, who's this other

658
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: thing with Jim Harbaugh. He takes these guys, they find

659
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: a defensive lineman, he moves them to full back and

660
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: the guy can like play both ways with In San Francisco,

661
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 1: he did that with Bruce Miller, who played defensive lineman

662
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: I think for Central Florida in college. Moved him to

663
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: full back and he was a starting fullback for him

664
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:42,479
Speaker 1: for a couple of years. They were going to NFC

665
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: Championship games. Turns out guy was kind of a scumback,

666
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 1: beat up an old guy at Fisherman's Wharf, ended up.

667
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what ended up happening to him. I

668
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 1: remember one time where I used to work out in

669
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 1: Walnut Creek. He was there meeting with his lawyer. So

670
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: his career kind of got derailed. But before he beat

671
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: up that old guy, he was a really good player.

672
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: And listen, sometimes you do some crazy shit and uh

673
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: get caught up and career ends. But yeah, man, Jim Harbaugh,

674
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 1: the guy's amazing. He really is. It's like, well, what

675
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 1: is he? We can nitpick until we're blue in the face,

676
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: but I just know Jim Harbaugh is unreal at his

677
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: job and for all the guys, and we'll see what

678
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: Belichick looks like in college, who could just go back

679
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: and forth. It's like Stanford winner, Niners winner, Michigan winner,

680
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: now Chargers winner. Like he just goes back and forth.

681
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 1: No one else can do that. Like you'd think like

682
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 1: Mike Tom would be a good college coach. Maybe like

683
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: maybe not. I don't know. Belichick greatest coach of all time.

684
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: We'll see how he does in North Carolina. I think

685
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: he'll be good, but time will tell. You know, for

686
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: a one hundred fact, if you hire Jim Harbaugh, your

687
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: team will have a winning record. You will win, you

688
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: will be in the college football playoffs. You will be

689
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 1: in the NFL playoffs. That is a fact. That is

690
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: a one Looking back, it's insane. Two years ago, remember

691
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: he wanted the Minnesota Vikings job. Maybe those three They

692
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 1: ended up going with Kevin O'Connell. Right move. But like

693
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: everyone else should have been interested in him. Two years ago,

694
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: he simper around like people could have had him. This

695
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: year was clear. He's like, I'm coming to the pros.

696
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: I'm taking my backpack, I'm taking my little son Jack,

697
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: taking my dad Jack. If he'll come with me. I

698
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: think he's still in ann Arbor. Anyone who wants to come.

699
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: We're going to the pros. He was like, the Chargers

700
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: were aggressive. Where were all these other fucking teams? The

701
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: Bears literally drafted Jim Harbaugh in the late eighties. They're like, no,

702
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: you know what, We're gonna keep Matti Eberflus. Like, guys,

703
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: it's been reported he would have been interested in the

704
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 1: Bear's job. Like this isn't hindsight or you know, looking

705
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,919
Speaker 1: back Monday morning quarterback. We knew before he got this job.

706
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh wins everywhere he goes, and now we just

707
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: like know it more. But like him against Gerrod Mayo

708
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 1: is like an eighteen year old playing one on one

709
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 1: against like a six year old. It was a fucking joke.

710
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: I was on the treadmill trying to get a little

711
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: sweat in, just like this is is this is this real?

712
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 1: Like this is It's crazy. I was trying to like

713
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: equate what it has to feel like to be a

714
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 1: Patriot fan post Brady. I was thinking, like if you

715
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 1: were a billionaire, like how great your life is. I'm

716
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 1: not saying like you're always happy or whatever, but like

717
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: just everything's yours. It's like this is just you're just

718
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 1: on Easy Street. You want this, you got that, you

719
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:33,879
Speaker 1: can do this. Your kids want to go there, send

720
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: them to the best schools. You just have no object

721
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: when it comes to money, but everything and be like

722
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: one day you wake up and everything's gone and you

723
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: got no money and you've got nothing. The Patriots were

724
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,439
Speaker 1: like a multi billionaire. It just didn't get any better.

725
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 1: This is as good as it gets. It can't be

726
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: this easy. And then one day it just ends. And

727
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: now you're watching him, it's like, are they is this

728
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: does get any worse? So after days like today, you

729
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: have to wonder if Gerrod Mayo is safe because you

730
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 1: have these days where it's like this is they drafted

731
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,720
Speaker 1: three last year and now they're probably going to draft

732
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 1: higher with the quarterback. I mean last year their quarterback situation.

733
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: I also think this about Drake man is. I've heard

734
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people talk about how talented he is,

735
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: how good he is. I think him and Caleb I

736
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: do think Drake's a little more natural getting rid of

737
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: the ball. Caleb has some just awful tendencies of holding

738
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: onto the ball. But both of them make some sweet

739
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 1: plays when they are getting curb stumped. When it's like

740
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: is this are we playing. I know we're playing in

741
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: an NFL game, but you're down like three scores in

742
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: the third quarter. This might as well be preseason. They're

743
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 1: playing prevent defense. They're just no one's actually trying to

744
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: do anything crazy here because when the game's in flux. Now,

745
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: Drake made a couple. I'm not trying to diminish like

746
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: I like Drake may a lot, but I here are

747
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 1: a lot of people like they've got their franchise court

748
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: maybe based on what a lot of plays made way

749
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 1: down in these games. Definitely, Caleb's even worse. Every single

750
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 1: Bears game they're down. Beside the ones they lose six

751
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,839
Speaker 1: to three, they're down like twenty to nothing, twenty four

752
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: to nothing, eighteen to nothing every single game. Obviously, these

753
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: guys are I think the way you have to judge

754
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 1: both guys is like, yeah, they got big time physical traits.

755
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 1: I like their physical traits, but to know that they

756
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: can play good football. I saw more today bow Knicks

757
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: playing a playoff level game, huge plays second half against

758
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. I guess he's not technical playing Joe Burrow,

759
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: but just a hostile environment outside in the cold, like

760
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: all his snaps were meaningful. Every fucking snap he took

761
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: today against the Bengals mattered a lot for the entire season,

762
00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: for playoffs against his opponents, their playoff hopes. There was

763
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 1: a lot on the line today after the first couple

764
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 1: drives of the game, and obviously he got KOed because

765
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 1: he gets hit in the head, and then they bring

766
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: him back in the game. None of it mattered, Like,

767
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: none of it mattered. So I don't know what to tangibly,

768
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,799
Speaker 1: Like this guy's a franchise school. I hope he is,

769
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,760
Speaker 1: but I hear that get thrown around a lot, especially

770
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: with Caleb, Like I still believe in based on what

771
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:31,280
Speaker 1: like an awesome drive throw in a game that's thirty

772
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: to seven, Like I don't know, Like, yeah, he's got

773
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 1: a big arm. I knew that when he was seventeen

774
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: years old watching him on high school tape before he

775
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: went to Oklahoma. Drake's a big time athlete. He can

776
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: move around, Like, yeah, it's exciting, But none of these

777
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: plays mean anything in the context of the actual game

778
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: beside like, yeah, this guy's talented. So I have kind

779
00:42:51,200 --> 00:43:06,720
Speaker 1: of struggled with that. A wind on this prompts to Dion.

780
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: Now I would say, it's a little crazy. I get

781
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: they have insurance policies, but Chadur and Travis. I look up,

782
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 1: there's less than four minutes in the game. Chador's in there,

783
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: Travis is in there. I love it simply because for

784
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 1: years the media yearned for these players, like just transfer

785
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 1: pay them. It's like, yeah, and I wasn't against any

786
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,839
Speaker 1: of it, but they just never shut up about it.

787
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: And then Dion comes, who's like, I say this all

788
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 1: the time for this guy that's really like progressive with

789
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: their Twitter Instagram videos. He coaches very old school, like

790
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: they full pad practice during the season, during spring ball,

791
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 1: like he gets after it today and he said it,

792
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: from the moment my guys are gonna play, I mean,

793
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: they very well could go number one and number two overall,

794
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,760
Speaker 1: I'm looking up Shador's getting crushed. It's a little different.

795
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:04,399
Speaker 1: It's the sun, and it's an incredible moment coaching his son.

796
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 1: How fucking awesome that is, Like I get, I have

797
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: a soft spot for that any dad father son moment,

798
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 1: Like that's really cool. But from a business standpoint, yeah,

799
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 1: it is kind of crazy, But I also in a

800
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,800
Speaker 1: weird way root for it because I love how torn

801
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 1: the media is over this, Like what do we say

802
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: like that they love cam Ward, Like throw it a

803
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: f you to the system. Yeah did he like he

804
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 1: just quit at halftime. I get he's chasing some record. Ultimately,

805
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: I don't non Bowl game that is a playoff game,

806
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 1: I have no None of it matters, like that Colorado

807
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 1: game against Uyu, none of it matters. That Miami game

808
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: against Ohio Iowa State. None of it matters. These games now,

809
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 1: I enjoy it like I have the game on, but

810
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 1: I don't have any takeaways. It means nothing to me.

811
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: You want to play, you want to quit at halftime,

812
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: do whatever the fuck you want to do. I do

813
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:02,280
Speaker 1: not care. But like is a little weird. I guess

814
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 1: Malik Davers did it. Yeah, I mean all this stuff,

815
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 1: it's it's just a lawless environment. I guess. You know,

816
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:12,919
Speaker 1: this is what we rooted for. Uh, but Dion wasn't

817
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 1: playing that. Like, there was no quitting at halftime for Dion,

818
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: which you know has got to be torn. A lot

819
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 1: of his supporters were probably pretty mad, like pulsh the

820
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: door out of the game, so angry. It's like, and

821
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: I in a weird way, I thought it was kind

822
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: of crazy, like what if and then the last place

823
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,399
Speaker 1: you door gets run down? But Dion doesn't give a shit,

824
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 1: does it his way, which I really really appreciate. The

825
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,359
Speaker 1: only takeaway I had from the Miami game is that

826
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: Mario Christival always loses important games. He's up late in

827
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 1: the game, of course he loses. Mario Cristobal is just

828
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,399
Speaker 1: not a good football coach. He really is not. He's

829
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,760
Speaker 1: a great recruiter, Well, what does that mean? Before the nil?

830
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: It meant that he was at Oregon and he coached

831
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 1: at Alabama. He had access to money and he could

832
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: pay players. Most good recruiter is there a big time

833
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: schools pre nil that were paying guys under the table,

834
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: which I was totally for. I'm not against it, I'm

835
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: not acting, but like there aren't good recruiters where brown

836
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: bags of cash are not involved. I'm sorry. And now

837
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: he's at Miami, who has some money and he can

838
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: buy some players, and he plays in a shitty conference.

839
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 1: I just don't think he's any good. I do. He

840
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 1: can spot talent and he left the cupboard pretty full

841
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: for Dan Landing at Oregon, but he is a bad

842
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 1: football coach schematically, I don't think he brings much to

843
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 1: the table beside like running the ball to his offensive coordinator,

844
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: but he always loses these games where he is winning

845
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,320
Speaker 1: in them. And today, whether cam Ward was playing the

846
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 1: backup court, I don't care. He had a lead late

847
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:45,479
Speaker 1: in the game, and of course he lost because Mario

848
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: Cristobal loses a lot when you think he's going to win.

849
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,879
Speaker 1: If you ever watched me, like Mario's gonna win this game, live,

850
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: bet the other team immediately, because that's usually what happens.

851
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 1: So mean, so many takes like cam Ward Kim Woard,

852
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,320
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. And here's what no one in the

853
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: NFL will care, and people will put Some people in

854
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 1: the NFL probably watch and thinking like why is Travis

855
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 1: Hunter in this game? But like I said, I was

856
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: rooting for Dion because I think he's just so counter

857
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 1: the movement, and anytime your counter the movement, especially as

858
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 1: aggressive as he is, when nobody's doing it, it's and

859
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 1: everyone kind of wishes they could. It's just refreshing to me.

860
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: For whatever reason. Audios, have a good night. I see tomorrow.

861
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:31,720
Speaker 1: The volume
