10
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: and Out Podcast? How are we doing? Just watching a

11
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: little Monday night football? Cooper Rush slanging it around, say

12
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: Kwan Barkley looking spry. Sometimes the NFC East over the

13
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: last several years can drive us nuts. Their big markets,

14
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: their TV ratings magnets, but their football teams have not

15
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: been good. Uh. I enjoyed that game tonight and I

16
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: don't know how good either team is, but that that

17
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: was an enjoyable Cowboy Giants game that you know in

18
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: the past, I think we've been force fed that I

19
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: could take that. Micah Parsons, say Kwan Barkley very enjoyable.

20
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: Even Daniel Jones, you know he's just he's growing on

21
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: me a little bit for a guy that's destined to

22
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: be a backup. But a lot coming on this podcast

23
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: and reaction the Sunday night game that I didn't get

24
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: to last week, or I mean last yesterday. Uh, the

25
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: Eagles Matt Stafford, Doug Peterson killing it. Uh, some other

26
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: stuff around the NFL. Of course, if you listen on

00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: Middlecoff mail back at John Middlecoff. Fire in those d

29
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: m s. And let's dive into some football. As Jimmy

30
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: Johnson was famously said in the bowels of Candlestick in

31
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: San Francisco, how about MN Cowboys. And let's face it,

32
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: when Dak Prescott hurt his finger, I, like probably many

33
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: of you, said, the season was over. So before we

34
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: get into to the famous quarterback controversy that Jerry Jones

35
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: sneaky started this week, he's the one that threw it

36
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: out there, let's just give Cooper Rush separate for many

37
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: of the noise, any of the craziness that's about to come,

38
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: because it's coming. Why it's the Cowboys, That's what happens

39
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: with the Lakers, the Yankees, the Cowboys. When you get

40
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: involved in this stuff, it just it takes on a

41
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: life of its own. The sec it's coming that there

42
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: is no stopping the floodgates from opening. But I think

43
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: we need to tip our hat because I once famously

44
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: said Jimmy Garoppolo is the best backup in football, and

45
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: what we saw against Denver. You know, I'm not gonna

46
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: necessarily jump off the bandwagon, but Cooper Rush has played

47
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 1: better this week, for sure than Jimmy Garoppolo. And Cooper

48
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: Rush now has started three games one last year to

49
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: this year. He's three out and let's face it, these

50
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: last couple of games, it feels like he's saving their

51
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: season because most teams, if their quarterback goes out for

52
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 1: a while, their seasons is over. Think about last year

53
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson with Seattle had hurt his finger. What happened?

54
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: Gino came in, they started losing games, season over seven

55
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 1: and ten. Now Russell came back, didn't play that well. Regardless,

56
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: you don't need to be some quarterback guru Andy Reid,

57
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 1: Mike Holmber and Sean Payton to realize Cooper Rush pretty good.

58
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: Like that's pretty impressive. Now are the two thousand two

59
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: New York Giants, the nine New York Giants. No, but

60
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: still Monday Night football. A lot of pressure. Quarterback of

61
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys given us like it's kind of all

62
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: on you. You got your wide receivers dropping balls left

63
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: and right. I mean, Ceedee Lamb had one of the

64
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: worst stretches for a good player you will see. I

65
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: hate to like, you're gonna drop a ball that's wide open,

66
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: Like I'm not big on smiling and laugh then just

67
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: just kind of run back to the huddle. Man. Uh Now,

68
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: he made up four down the stretch of the game.

69
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: Obviously had a game basically the game winning touchdown catch

70
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: one handed, had a great I think third and five

71
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: or third and one catch where he got tackled right

72
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: at the sticks, so he made up for it. But

73
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb, let's face it, the hype is not quite

74
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: living up to the talent, even though he has some

75
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: flash plays. But regardless, Cooper Rush looked excellent. Now, let's just,

76
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 1: you know, talk about the reality of the situation because

77
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: it's not gonna stop. I like Dak Prescott as a guy.

78
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: He's an easy human being to root for. Everything we've

79
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: ever seen since the moment he came into the league,

80
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: You're like, that's a high quality guy. That's the type

81
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: person I would want to be around. Obviously, from an

82
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: athletic standpoint, pretty damn good athlete. From an arms standpoint,

83
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: here's a reality, he's probably got a bottom five arm

84
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL first starting quarterback, he does not have

85
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: a good arm, and he hasn't played. Was terrible in

86
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: the playoff game and looked awful before he got injured

87
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: against Tampa. Now you it's say Niners defense good, Tampa's

88
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: defense is good. Still, I've always said I have no

89
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: problem having Dak Prescott is my starting quarterback. But the

90
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: moment they gave him a hundred sixty million dollars, I'm like,

91
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: I'm out. He's like, to me, not remotely close to

92
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: being worth that. And you're like, well, the stats and

93
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: the numbers, I don't give a ship. Here's what I know.

94
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: Good teams are not afraid to play that guy. You do.

95
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: They're afraid to play Herbert Mahomes, Alan Lamore. I mean

96
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: all the good hell, even Kyler. Kyler doesn't even study.

97
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: He makes you nervous, you don't sleep all night. Why

98
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: he's way more talented than Dak Prescott. And I put

99
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: this out on the social media streets and people think

100
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: I'm being a hater, and I'm not because being a

101
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: good player in pro sports mean doing it over and

102
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: over and over again, sustaining play. And while Dak Prescott

103
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: is not a perfect player by any means, we consider

104
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: him a good player because he has a long body

105
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: of work and that is hard to do a lot

106
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: of players and backup players are not able to do it.

107
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 1: It's why they're backups. The difference between star orders and

108
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: backups aren't always like physical attributes arm strength, speed, It's

109
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: about the consistency to executing. What football is about more

110
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: than just we talked about it all the time, just

111
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: athletic ability or arm strength. It's about executing the place

112
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: executing you're playing in a team environment. And Dak Prescott,

113
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: over a long period of time, has proven to be

114
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 1: pretty darn good. You know, when I say pretty darn good,

115
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: somewhere between I would say eleven and fourteen quarterback in

116
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: the NFL. In my opinion, he has never been a

117
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: top ten quarterback. But there's nothing wrong if you have

118
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: a good team. And now the Cowboys have a good defense,

119
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: you've got good weapons on offense, you can win eleven

120
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: twelve games, but once you get to the playoffs, it

121
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: leaves a little something to be desired. And when you

122
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,119
Speaker 1: look at Cooper Rush the talent, I'm not saying the player,

123
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: because Cooper's only had to start three games in the NFL.

124
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: So what would he look like over fifty starts. No

125
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: one knows. Maybe time will tell, But from a talent standpoint,

126
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: I don't see any different. I mean, they both have

127
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: pretty good arms, average arms, and I don't know Dak

128
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: I said relative to the rest of the NFL starters,

129
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: you know, it's towards the bottom of the NFL. I

130
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: would say he's definitely bottom ten. Cooper Rush arm looks

131
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: about the same. Maybe DA's a little faster, maybe he's

132
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: a little quicker to get rid of the ball. I mean,

133
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: I just don't see the difference. Now. I'm not arguing

134
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: that if he just starts the rest of the season,

135
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna look like this weekend and week out. But

136
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: when they've asked him to go in, he's looked pretty

137
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: darn good. And once upon a time, some injuries happened,

138
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: Dad came in and they never looked back. The difference

139
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: here is they invested a ton of money last year

140
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: into Dak Prescott. The guaranteed number is super high. But

141
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: even Jerry said it himself, like, hopefully this guy plays

142
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: so well that it becomes a problem, that it becomes

143
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: an issue. And that's part of the Cowboys story is

144
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: their owner talks. The owner can't keep his mouth shut,

145
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: which is fun for us, which is, you know, the

146
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: roller coaster ride of the NFL falling the Cowboys is

147
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: Jerry couldn't even help himself. And then you have a

148
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: moment like this Monday night football, dude throwing dimes, dude

149
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: throwing game winning touchdown passes. You're like, well, wan are

150
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: to look that much different with Dak Prescott. I don't know.

151
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: I've been watching Dak Prescott the last couple of years.

152
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: I've never really saw it. The Cowboys have always liked

153
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: him more I think than a lot of us, and

154
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: when they gave him that money, we all want. But

155
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: this is if Cooper Rush keeps playing like this, I

156
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: don't know exactly when Dak's gonna come back. Another couple

157
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: of weeks, another five weeks. They keep winning that this

158
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: conversation is not gonna go away. And here's the crazy part.

159
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: We all thought that the big guy on the sideline,

160
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy was a dead man walking. What if Cooper

161
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: Rush is the person that saves his job. This is

162
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: why the NFL is the greatest reality show in America

163
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: because you can't script any of this crap. We all

164
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: thought the moment Dak hurt his hand, cowboys are gonna

165
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: win like three or four games, especially if he's out

166
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: multiple months. Now you got Cooper Rush rattling off w's

167
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy smiling on the sideline right next to Kellen Moore.

168
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: And now they're two in one, So you get quarterback

169
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: play like this, You got a defense like that. Do

170
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: you know what Michael Parsons reminds me of. My favorite

171
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: scene in a sports movie ever by a mile is

172
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: the scene in Blue Chips when Nick Nolty goes to

173
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: the Bayou to see Shack and this is, you know,

174
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: so like Chack had been in the NBA like a

175
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: year or two, and the scene of him in like

176
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: this barn playing against people that you know him, blocking

177
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 1: shots and dunking on people. It's incredible and at the time,

178
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: like if you grew up. You're around my age, you're

179
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: born in the mid eighties, and you watch young Shack.

180
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: We've never seen anything quite like that. Now. Michael Parsons physically,

181
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: it's not like he's six eight or whatever. Right, he

182
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: doesn't look like Olden Smith. But the way he plays

183
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: the seven Troy aikmansa tonight Like, hey, guys, he runs

184
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: four three when he's on the field, there is no

185
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: one on the field faster than Michael Parsons. Then he's

186
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: got these spin moves, these power moves. He's like Derrick

187
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: Thomas with a little bit of Lawrence Taylor. Like the

188
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: hype on this guy is real. I mean, the two

189
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 1: best players a night on the field came from Penn State,

190
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: both athletic freaks, both four three guys. And what's cool

191
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: about the Giants guy in Sae Kwon Barkley is you

192
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: know sometimes with running backs, the wear and tear, you

193
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: have a major injury, you know, we just kind of

194
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: right you off because we see guys turned through players

195
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: all of a sudden. A running back has a couple

196
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: of years and then he shot. Sa Kuan had an

197
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: ankle injury that he tears a c l like how's

198
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: he ever gonna get it back? And if you watch

199
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: him this year, he's got his speed and explosion back.

200
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: And when you are that fast and you're already just

201
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: that talented, He's always had great balance, he's already had

202
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: great vision. His ability to change direction and cut and

203
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: get two angles, he's always been natural at that. But

204
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: when he lost his speed, it wasn't the same. He

205
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: could get hawk when he saw a night on the

206
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: touchdown run, made a guy miss, broke a little tackle,

207
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 1: gets the edge, no one's catching him. And it's fun

208
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: to see an elite tent like Michael Parsons is just

209
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: unelite talent kicking everyone's ass. Sa Kwan Barkley wasn't elite

210
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: talent doing that, lost it and now feels like he's

211
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 1: getting it back. And it's just as a fan running

212
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: back to my favorite position, and I respect. I gotta

213
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: give Brian Tables some credit. The knock on Sa Kwan

214
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: Barkley was never His ability to catch was never. His

215
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: ability to run was never. His ability to make a

216
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: guy missed. He would not pass the protect. There's always

217
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: actually been a knock of Adrian Peterson's which is ironic

218
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: because Adrian Peterson is like as big as linebackers, he

219
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: just would not pass Protech wouldn't do it. And tonight

220
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 1: there was a play when Anthony Barr had broke through

221
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 1: the line and say Kwan takes him on. He kind

222
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: of gets run over. But even Troy's like, you know,

223
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: you just put your face in front of him and

224
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: willing to take it on. That's enough to slow down

225
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: the rush. So the Giants coaching staff, that's a well

226
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: coached team to go from Joe Judge the last couple

227
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: of years, which was basically a Freddie Kitchens Uh, Jim

228
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: tom Sula level embarrassment. Like for ironically, Freddy Kitchens was

229
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: on his staff like that's a Joe Judge buddy. Uh,

230
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: it was a joke. I mean, no one can ever

231
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: forget the third and eight quarterback sneak. I mean that's

232
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: just you don't never shake that, Like that's on your

233
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: resume for life that no one can ever look at.

234
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: Joe Judge the football coach the same ironically, Bill Belichick

235
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: takes them back like, oh, come coach my quarterbacks. I

236
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 1: mean I I wouldn't have done that, but hell, Bill

237
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: is a little crazy. Brian Dable is a real coach,

238
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: and you watch him on the sideline the fire. Uh,

239
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: he just fits New York and clearly, like I said,

240
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of weeks back, the difference of

241
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: him and all the other Belichick guys. He left for

242
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: a while and you can tell like this guy came ready. Now.

243
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: I don't think the Giants are that talented. I think

244
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: they're one of the worst teams in the league roster wise.

245
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: Their quarterback is not good, Like this is the last

246
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: year Daniel Jones is gonna be the quarterback of the

247
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: Giants for them just to be in all these games.

248
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: Obviously they won the first two they were in this game,

249
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: They're gonna be in games for a while. Is a

250
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: reflection of Brian Dable, Like I'm not trying to annoy

251
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: him as like the next great coach, but he clearly

252
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: knows what he's doing. And the bar for the New

253
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: York Giants, it's just simply that. I mean, they went

254
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: from Pat Shermer, who's just a terrible coach, Joe Judge

255
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: completely over a skis to Brian day Ball, just a

256
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: real NFL coach, And honestly, if you can get them

257
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: more talent, which they are going to accumulate because they're

258
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: gonna have money, they're gonna have higher draft picks. I

259
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: would be pretty excited. I'd be willing to take my

260
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: lumps this year to stay competitive, lose some games, and

261
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 1: just enjoy the Brian day Ball experience. I think he's

262
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: got a good coaching staff, love the sideline demeanor. It

263
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: just feels for the first time in a long long time. Obviously,

264
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: these last couple of years with Coughlin were tough, but

265
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: all I know, all you Giants fans respect the hell

266
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: out of that guy. He was obviously a championship winning

267
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: football coach, but ran just a legitimate operation. It feels

268
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: like Brian day Balls kind of cut from that mold,

269
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: and I would be excited if I'm a New York

270
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:47,559

298
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: into the Bronco forty game, because when when I record

299
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday, I just went live right after the Packer

300
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: Bucks game and the Bronco forty Niner game. I have

301
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: nothing to say about either defense. I think I don't

302
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: know how you could disagree with me. Both of them

303
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: are fantastic. Both defenses you can play playoff football with.

304
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: You can compete to win a championship. With the level

305
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: of team speed, the pass rush, the physicality, the defensive backfield.

306
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: Both those two defenses high level. They are going to

307
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: be a problem for every single team in the league.

308
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: Broad goes U C. Davis guys their defensive coordinator rooting

309
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: for him. The forty Niners I watch up close and personal.

310
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: It's excellent, and they're missing one of their better players

311
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: in Jimmy warren Nerik arm said, didn't even play last night.

312
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: That's a big time defense. Both the defenses, no issues

313
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: with It's gonna translate as long as ended up devastating

314
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: injuries and Jesus, forty Niners get injured left and right.

315
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: And they even had an injury last night. I'll shire

316
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: one of the linebackers got hurt. But uh, if the

317
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: core guys stay healthy, they're gonna be excellent. Last night

318
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: was about the offense, and listen, I like a good

319
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: physical game as much as anybody that was. I would

320
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: like a little more, you know, I like some more

321
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: first downs. I'd like a couple less three and outnce.

322
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: But let's start with the Broncos. And when they acquired

323
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, every single team in the league would have

324
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: done that given their situation. They didn't have a quarterback,

325
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: they had a core group of guys. They made a

326
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: bold play for a guy that is a Hall of

327
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: Famer that's thirty two years old. Right, It's not like

328
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: they traded for a guy thirty seven, thirty eight years old.

329
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: You know, I think now like his age is basically

330
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: the old. But here's the thing, and I think about

331
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: this all the time, Like the crazy part about athletics,

332
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: they are so much different than all of our jobs,

333
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: Like think about the best person you know in your

334
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: industry at their job. The only way that they are

335
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: going to get worse is if something like they get

336
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: really sick. Because usually as you age, if you are

337
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: in finance, if you're in media, if you're in sales, whatever,

338
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: you get better. The only thing that you can slow

339
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: you down is like spending time in the hospital or

340
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: losing your mind. Other than that, like if you keep

341
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: your marbles and keep your health, like, you're able to

342
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: work and you're able to produce, and typically you're gonna

343
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: make more and more as time goes. The thing with

344
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: athletics is like kind of finite and it ends. And

345
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: typically historically the older guys get in baseball, basketball, and football,

346
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: they fell off a cliff athletically, right. You know, in basketball,

347
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: your quickness, your ability to jump, you just look old.

348
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: It's it's natural. Anyone that played hoops, even if you

349
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: were just a pick up player at twenty two, you

350
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: felt a lot better than you do with thirty eight. Right.

351
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: And in baseball, you lose the bat, your your bat swing,

352
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,479
Speaker 1: your bat, your your ability to time up pitches. You

353
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: don't have the uh you know, the timing on your swing.

354
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: You don't have the swing speed. Right, pictures lose velocity.

355
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: Football players a lot of it's different, right, Some guys

356
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: lose explosion. Some guys in which we've seen in quarterbacks recently,

357
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: some great ones. Manning and Breeze and Roethlisberger, they couldn't

358
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: throw anymore like Roethlisberger. Manning and Breeze, they had never

359
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: been smarter, they had never had a better understanding of

360
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: what they were doing, they had never seen more defenses.

361
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: But their arms literally did not. I mean Peyton was

362
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: the worst out of the three of them. He could

363
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: barely throw. It was crazy to watch Breeze and Roethlisberger.

364
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: They still could throw, but it was clearly a shell

365
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: of what they once. We're especially big Ben, and when

366
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: you can't do that, like you can't even function now.

367
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: The thing we've always said this about Tom Brady is like, well,

368
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: he's never been smarter. He's forty five, He's literally seen everything.

369
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: Somehow he's still able to be an excellent teammate. He

370
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: still gets along with guys that are twenty four years old,

371
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 1: and you watch him throw, You're like, this guy still

372
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: gott a howitzer, Like, when's it gonna end? The only

373
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: way it ends for Brady is like the only way

374
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: it ends for people in business. Something catastrophic has to

375
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: happen someone he's gotta have a major injury. Because it

376
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,239
Speaker 1: doesn't have a major injury, he's gonna maintain be an

377
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: excellent player. You watch Russell Wilson, like his arm strength

378
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: is still there. He still throws deep balls like he

379
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: did the DK Metcalf. He's just throwing him now to

380
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: Sutton or Jerry Judy. Now those guys clearly are not

381
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 1: quite dk Metcalf. But the ball to me looks the

382
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: same coming out of his hand where he has fallen

383
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: off a cliff. And again, I don't blame the Broncos

384
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: for doing this, and I don't blame them for paying him,

385
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: because once they make the trade, they have to pay him.

386
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: But he is a shell of himself athletically. What made

387
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson great was not just dominating from within the pocket.

388
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: It was kind of this ad libability he had, like

389
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 1: this Steve Young type quality to him. He could make

390
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: plays happen behind the line of scrimmage, but on the move.

391
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 1: And right now I see a guy that moves probably

392
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 1: half as well as he used to and if I

393
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: was a Bronx and part of that, like then when

394
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: he's moving his ball placement is off, which to me

395
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 1: would be very concerning. Now there is just a natural

396
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: as he plays more with these guys, he should get

397
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: more in rhythm. But if you've watched Russell Wilson, the

398
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: peak Russell Wilson, he doesn't look close to that. And

399
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: this comparison that Rogers his first year in this new

400
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: offense years ago. Like Rogers, the arm strength was still there,

401
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: the mobility was still there. Remember, he was just kind

402
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: of inaccurate, and then once he got comfortable in it,

403
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: he gained much of his accuracy. Russell Wilson movement wise,

404
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: looks about half as quick as he once did. And

405
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: if you remove that from him, he no longer brings

406
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: to the table what he wants did He is no

407
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: longer if he was an eight or nine out of ten,

408
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: he then immediately goes to like a six out of ten,

409
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: and there's nothing the Broncos can do about it. But

410
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: I don't know how you watch that guy and don't

411
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: go that's pretty concerning, because ultimately you got him to

412
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: be this crazy playmaker, because that's historically he is one

413
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: of the great playmakers we've ever seen. He's like kind

414
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: of this Lamar Jackson ish Drew Brees. I'm not saying

415
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: he ever ran like Lamar Jackson. I just mean like

416
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 1: he was just box office but he was accurate, but

417
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: he could also throw it down the field. That comparison,

418
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: I tried to mix and match a couple of players.

419
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: I don't even know if that works, but my point

420
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: is he no longer is this special guy and you

421
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 1: can can maybe it comes back. I would bet against it.

422
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: I I would be very nervous if I was a

423
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 1: Bronco fan. But like I said, your defense is awesome,

424
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: and if he can just play average football, you should

425
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: be able to compete to go to the playoffs. Kyle

426
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: Shanahan and Jimmy Garoppolo, they were atrocious on Sunday night.

427
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Jimmy was horrendous beside one drive, balls going

428
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,239
Speaker 1: all over the place, no rhythm, just it was. It

429
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: was hard to watch and what really angered me and

430
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: made me just go, Kyle, what is going on when

431
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: your defense is playing that well? The final score was

432
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: eleven to ten, right, Well, the defense only allowed nine

433
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: points because Jimmy pulled the Dan Orlovski. Well, when you're

434
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 1: in that game, you could either hold on for dear

435
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 1: life and just hope we get to the finish line

436
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: and win by, you know, with ten points, which you

437
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 1: would say pretty hard to do just in general, and

438
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: you can go, well, Russ is so terrible. But Russ

439
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: proof that one drive one out of like his. However

440
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: many drives they had, twelve thirteen drives, he was able

441
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 1: to cook and it just happened to be on one

442
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 1: of the last drives of the game and he drove

443
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: them all the way down the field and they scored,

444
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: and uptil that point, Kyle had been holding on for

445
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: dear life. I do not understand for a guy that

446
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: I think very highly of as an offensive mind in

447
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: a game like that, doesn't just have a couple of

448
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: tricks up a sleeve, a curveball, a double pass, a

449
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: trick play, something to spark, because you can't just run

450
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: your go to plays they're not working. You can't just

451
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 1: run quick screens the Debo when they have such great

452
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: team speed and good defensive backfield. You can't do it

453
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: against the Niners because then all the Niners dbs tackle

454
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: and all their linebackers can run well, the Denver is

455
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: very similar, so you can't run that play that this

456
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: isn't the Chicago Bears and two one where that play

457
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 1: is gonna hit for seventy yards. Why not run a

458
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: double pass? Do something? Why not try something out of

459
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: the box. And I thought Kyle was just Stu Vanilla

460
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: last night. And I understand in a game like that,

461
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: every possession matters, you don't want to turn it over.

462
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: But ultimately, like Jimmy can turn over whenever regardless, so

463
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: you might as well. Like I felt, he didn't play

464
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,479
Speaker 1: to win. He played very, very conservative, and it cost him.

465
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: And if I was a defensive player ever be pissed.

466
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: I'd be We dominated this game even if we gave

467
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: up that touchdown drive. They scored nine points on us. No,

468
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 1: I don't care if you're playing the Texans, or you're

469
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 1: playing the Chiefs, or you're playing the bill else. If

470
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: your defense gives up nine points, you should win every

471
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: time you play. That's that's an embarrassing, uh game for

472
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator and the quarterback, just no way around it.

473
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: Abysmal performance really, I mean all the way around by

474
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: both offenses. But at least the Denver Broncos had a

475
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: touchdown drive when they need it the most, and they

476
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 1: got Russell Wilson some magic. It just he can pull

477
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: out magic every once in a while. He used to

478
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 1: be able to do that a lot. And if he

479
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 1: can't do that a lot, he is he is no

480
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 1: longer worth the money that clearly they're gonna be paying

481
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: him the next couple of years. The Eagles. I was

482
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 1: thinking about that. I mean, I've been thinking a lot

483
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: about the Eagles. Is you know, if you get a

484
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: Mahomes or you get a Rodgers, you know, you get

485
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: a Josh Allen like, you can have flawed uh teams

486
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,199
Speaker 1: as you're building it. You can miss on picks and

487
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: they can't overcome it because of their greatness. And that

488
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 1: every team builder, if you ask every single general manager

489
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: or every single person listening to this podcast, if you

490
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,959
Speaker 1: were a GM, would you rather build your team from

491
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 1: scratch and then try to find the quarterback? Or would

492
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 1: you uh build a great team or I'm excuse me,

493
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: find the quarterback and then tried to build a team

494
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: around him. You would obviously find your quarterback first. That

495
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 1: would be the number one goal. Quarterback first, figure it out.

496
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: The Eagles thought they had it with Carson Wentz and

497
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: it blew up in their face. They realized he was

498
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: not the guy. They were kind of screwed, but they

499
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: had built a pretty good team around him, and then

500
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: they made this transition to Jalen Hurts, which even as

501
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: of last year, once they made the playoffs, we all

502
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 1: questioned Jalen Hurts, including internally. I mean, the Eagles would

503
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: never admit it, but they didn't think he was gonna

504
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 1: be this good. But what they did is they built

505
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: a fantastic team. Because the number one thing you would

506
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: do when you were building a great team is you

507
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: would be like, I want to dominate in the trenches.

508
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 1: I'd want an awesome defensive line, and I'd want an

509
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: awesome offensive line. Eagles have it, one of the best

510
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: offensive lines in the league and a fantastic d line.

511
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: What would you do next? You'd be like, I want

512
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: sweet wide receivers and I want a dB. Well what

513
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: do they have? They got a J Brown who's a

514
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: badass DeVante Smith. I looked up yesterday halftime seven catches

515
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: for a buck fifty. Never forget he's a Heisman Trophy

516
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 1: winner at wide receiver. And they also got a sweet

517
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: tight end. So they got sweet perimeter playmakers. Darius Slay

518
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 1: is sweet, so they got sweet dB. They got multiple playmakers.

519
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: I mean, they're literally just set up. If they could

520
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: just find a quarterback, a solid quarterback, they'd be awesome.

521
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: And then, as they've been doing this, their quarterback I

522
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: don't want to say out of nowhere, because he showed

523
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: flashes last year. He's playing right now like a top

524
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: ten guy. So when you have all that stuff around

525
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: and I just insert a top fifteen guy on that team,

526
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 1: you're gonna be competing for a wild card. If I

527
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: give you a player who's want I mean, so far

528
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: through three games he's he's playing like one of the

529
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: more dynamic guys in the league. His passing has improved dramatically. Besides,

530
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: like Lamar and Kylie, he's one of the best runners

531
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: in the league. So you have one of the more

532
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,959
Speaker 1: dynamic players in the league at quarterback, who is just

533
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: liked by the teammates, who is just an explosive player,

534
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: understands the offense, gets along with the coordinators like no wonder,

535
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: they're three and oh they are built to win. And

536
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: then they're getting high level quarterback play. So Howar Roseman

537
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 1: deserves a lot of credit. You know, they kind of

538
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 1: built a bully that they are built to sustain. I

539
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: heard I forget what podcast I heard this on, but

540
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 1: I don't know if someone put it out on Twitter

541
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 1: or whatever. That they are. I mean, unless major injuries happen,

542
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 1: they will be favored the rest of the year in

543
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: you know, in the games they play obviously, you know

544
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: they haven't played the Giants or Cowboys yet, like they're

545
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: gonna be. They're better than those teams, So Howe Roseman. Also,

546
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 1: they hired Nick Sirianni. Once upon a time, no one

547
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 1: even knew who Nick Sirianni was, and last year early

548
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: on we kind of were making fun of him because

549
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 1: of the breast conference. Turns out it feels like Nick

550
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: Sirianna kind of knows what he's doing. They got a

551
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,479
Speaker 1: pretty good coaching staff. They look pretty good. I mean,

552
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 1: they kicked the ship out of the Commanders, so the

553
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 1: Eagles man that they are here to stay. I was

554
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 1: watching I talked about this on Monday's podcast. Just what

555
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: a disaster the Cardinals are. I mean, just a full

556
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: on disaster. Right. They're getting dominated early in games. Kyler

557
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: just looks kind of out of it unless he pulls

558
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: a play out of his you know, crevices of you

559
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: know what, Cliff, the offense is. Just give me a break.

560
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: I know they got injuries, but that they have been

561
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 1: beside the last couple of minutes and the last maybe

562
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: you know, and overtime of the Raider game. One of

563
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 1: the worst teams in the league dating back to like

564
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving of last year, but one team like watching them

565
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: pretty closely was the Rams playing them. I was just

566
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: watching Matt Stafford, who has to be one of the

567
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: most bizarre players in the league because no one would

568
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: argue his talent. His talent is immense. He's athletic, he's tough,

569
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: he's got a huge arm. When he's in rhythm, he

570
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: can be accurate. He could make every single throw. He

571
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: proved last year that you can win the Super Bowl

572
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,479
Speaker 1: with the guy. He is just a fantastic talent, and

573
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: then you factor in the intangible stuff. His teammates love him,

574
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: coaches love him, Guys around the league love him like

575
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: it feels like he should be one of the poster

576
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: guys in the league. And because he won the Super

577
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: Bowl last year, he gets to go on some commercials.

578
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: But then I'm watching him play and I go, God,

579
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: he would, I would guess, and McVeigh would never admit

580
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: this publicly, would probably only tell like his close friends

581
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: and his coaching staff, he's gotta drive him nuts sometimes

582
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: because Stafford will make some plays for a talented guy,

583
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: like listen, like Aaron Rodgers screws up my home, screws up,

584
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,479
Speaker 1: Brady screws up. I feel like stafford screw ups are

585
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: way crazier. I mean, Stafford will just airmail a guy

586
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: Cooper cup be wide opening, airmail him by you know,

587
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: twenty yards. It's like, is that the worst past I

588
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: saw all day? The very next play he'll do like

589
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: a three sixty out of a sack, scrambled to his left,

590
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: across his body, throw a dart to some random undrafted

591
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: free agent for like a seventeen yard first down. You're like,

592
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: is that the best play I saw today? You go,

593
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: is that the worst play? The next play the best play?

594
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: And I do think that's why that the rams like

595
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: they actually in a weird way for a guy that

596
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: puts up big numbers. And again they're the defending super

597
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: Bowl champs. Don't really get consistent quarterback play at the

598
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: highest level, like for the most part, Josh Allen Mahomes,

599
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: Brady Rogers, like you're getting it consistently every game, even

600
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: Lamar like for the most part, Lamar brings it every game.

601
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: Stafford is like you watch series in, series out, you

602
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: get kind of a different guy. And that's why playing

603
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: a team who's got awful you know, they only win

604
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: twenty twelve because the Rams should have won that game

605
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: thirty ten. But it's just difficult with Stafford. And even

606
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: if you look at the stats, they don't look that bad.

607
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: But just from the eye test watching them, and I'm

608
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: not acting like the Rams aren't good and they're not

609
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: gonna go to the playoffs. But my takeaway was just

610
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: a bizarre player. I mean, I don't I don't really

611
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: know what else to say. I like him, I enjoy

612
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: watching him. He's my type player. I like big arm guys.

613
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: I like guys that push the ball down the field.

614
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,719
Speaker 1: But man, I would imagine McVeigh is glad to have him.

615
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he's definitely much better than Jared Goff. I mean,

616
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: he's a top Tennish quarterback, but he is He's got

617
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: to be one of the more bizarre good players in

618
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: the league. Richard Truman doesn't think he's that good. Thinks

619
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: he's very overrated. Why because there was a bunch of picks.

620
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he was a dropped Quasky tart Uh interception

621
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: away from them losing in the in the championship game

622
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: last year. I saw them him bowl multiple games in

623
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: the Niners altrout last ye caause he just throws all

624
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: these interceptions in a weird way. With the guy, you're

625
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: always gonna get a great effort. He's always gonna really try,

626
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: and you like going to war with the guy who's

627
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: that tough, but you never all you don't always know

628
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:41,959
Speaker 1: what you're gonna get, Like in any moment, he can

629
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: throw multiple picks. I've been thinking a lot since that

630
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: game ended with the Chargers, and you guys know what

631
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: where I stand with Brandon Staley, And you know I

632
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: I think my takes on him that has been going

633
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: consistent for a while now will only age better with time.

634
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: That's I feel as good about my Brandon Staley lot

635
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: and like my my spot on that piece of real

636
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: estate and that take as I do with my Cliff

637
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: Kyler Arizona Cardinal take like, I'm not budgeting over either

638
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: one of those. I'm going down swinging and I'm not

639
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: stephen A or Skip Like, I have no problem changing

640
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,959
Speaker 1: my opinion. I'm not gonna be telling you Lebron sucks

641
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: year seventeen, right, That's just not me. But I'm pretty

642
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: confident how those things are gonna age other ones, like

643
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: you never know some of these. You know, I didn't

644
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: think Jalen Hurtch was that good. Then Jalen Hurtch was good,

645
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: and I changed my opinion. I wasn't that big of

646
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: a Lamar fan. Now I think Lamar. I look yesterday,

647
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: He's got the accounts for five touchdowns. I mean, this

648
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: guy accounts for so many scores like Lamar, Sweet Mar,

649
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: It's a badass. I got no problem changing my opinion.

650
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: But when I feel pretty confident about something, and the

651
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: more and more did I get evidence, like I, I

652
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: doubled down, and that's the way I approached life. And

653
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: urban Meyers was a guy at a take I used

654
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: to have. I used to call him fraud Meyer now

655
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: because if you put him at an elite institution that

656
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: cared about football Florida Ohio State, he wouldn't dominate because

657
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: before n I L, the top schools cheated more than

658
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: most of the other schools. They had more money to cheat.

659
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: He could go to Florida and pay a team full

660
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: of drug dealers and er and a murderer and dominate

661
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: college football. He go to Ohio State and just cook

662
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: the books and load up his team and kick everyone's ass,

663
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: including savings. He he was a fantastic college coach when

664
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: he could. You know, rig the deal you get the

665
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: best players. Wasn't a fair fight. Cheating his ass off,

666
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: and he morally acted superior. He had scumbags on his

667
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: coaching staff. I always thought the guy was fraudulent, and

668
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: never questioned if he ran your college football program, you

669
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't win. I just I just thought the guy had

670
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: some fraudulent characteristics. Then he got a chance to go

671
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,239
Speaker 1: to the NFL and difference in the NFL. Even if

672
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: back in the day, when you're cheating in college, like

673
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: paying a guy five grand, you're still making eight million,

674
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: so that guy still answers to you. In the pros,

675
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: if I'm paying you ten million, you're gonna have several

676
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: guys on your team making five million. Guys make more

677
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: money than you, even your first round pick. He might

678
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: make seven million dollars. You're making nine. He's still making

679
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: seven million dollars. Every player on your team, including the guy,

680
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,240
Speaker 1: the last guy in your roster, he's still making almost

681
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 1: a million dollars. They're all driving to a hundred and

682
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollar cars, just like you are. And Urban

683
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: Meyer was destined. I didn't think it would go as

684
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: bad as it did, but he was. He couldn't handle it.

685
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,439
Speaker 1: He got exposed immediately. Couldn't handle in the big leagues

686
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: because in the big leagues, private sector, true money. We

687
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: don't have to fake any of it. We don't have

688
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: to lie about it. There are no bags of cash given.

689
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: There are direct deposits. Well, Uncle Sam knows about everyone's

690
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: getting paid in the building. And he he got exposed,

691
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, And he didn't make it through the season.

692
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: Help Chip Kelly, who I don't think is a very

693
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: good coach, lasted several seasons with the Eagles, even made

694
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs, could just handle the op ration for a

695
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: little bit. Urban had no chance. And the Jags last year.

696
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: I gave Trevor Lawrence somewhat of a pass because I

697
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: don't think any two year old could overcome that level

698
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 1: of incompetence, that level of let's face it. I've always

699
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: thought this. I had an experience when I was in radio,

700
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: and I believe this to my core that if you

701
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: have a superior a boss in any line of work,

702
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: whether it's a football coach, whether it you're in the military,

703
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: whether you're in business, and you have no respect for

704
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: him because you don't believe he has any clue what

705
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 1: he's doing, it will be borderline impossible to function. When

706
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,479
Speaker 1: you don't respect the guy above you in the hierarchy chart,

707
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 1: it is hard to operate, and it's it's hard, and

708
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: I've been there. I worked for a guy in radio

709
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 1: that is the biggest imbecile I've ever been around. I

710
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: couldn't look at him in the face. I couldn't take

711
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: any of his words seriously. Everything he said was just

712
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: the dumbest things I've ever heard. We all the older,

713
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,439
Speaker 1: you get your bound to be in a situation like that,

714
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 1: and it shapes you the rest of your life, and

715
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,479
Speaker 1: it really is hard to function. And so I would

716
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 1: imagine there were guys on the jags hearing things or

717
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 1: seeing things from Urban Meyer going this is fucking insane.

718
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're a Trevor Lawrence, you come from

719
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: Clemson and Dabblo Sweeney and Brett Venables and the dude

720
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 1: I forget his name, but he's coaching Virginia. Now. They

721
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: had one of the more stable programs in the country,

722
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: high level operation, competing for national championships. Just a family

723
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 1: oriented deal. Just just uh. I mean, it's just one

724
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 1: of the standards in my lifetime of college athletics, basketball

725
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: or football. And then you go to Urban Meyer kicking

726
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: kickers and getting laughed at. The coaching staff hated him.

727
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: It was who can function in that environment? Most people can't,

728
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 1: and they didn't. Now you get Doug Peterson, who's a

729
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: lifetime NFL guy, was a backup quarterback since the nineties

730
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 1: for guys like Dan Marino, Brett Farr, who jesus I

731
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 1: read the story on that one looks like a douche bag,

732
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: uh and Donathan McNabb. So this guy has played and

733
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: been around Andy Reid, Don Shola, Mike Holmgren, Doug and

734
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: I've known Doug Peterson since when I got hired. He

735
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 1: had just he had been hired the year before with

736
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: the Eagles. I think my first year when I was

737
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: like basically the lowest guy in the Totem Powl. He

738
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 1: was the quality control coach. The next year he was

739
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: the quarterback coach. And I think the next year he

740
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: might even been the offensive coordinator or quarterback coach too.

741
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 1: I can't remember, but I was around Doug for three

742
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: years and I've seen him at combines and whatever. I

743
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 1: will say this for Doug. If you met Doug yesterday,

744
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: he's a super Bowl champion. He's doubt resurrect Trevor Lawrence's career.

745
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: If you didn't know he was a football coach, he

746
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: just ran into him and Safe Way or Burger Joint.

747
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: He he would act like he's your neighbor. He is

748
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: one of the nicest guys going. Yet you look at

749
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: his resume. Beat Belichick in the Super Bowl with Nick

750
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: freaking Foles. He played in the NFL for a long

751
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 1: time and backed up some of the greatest quarterbacks ever,

752
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: and he carries himself just like a blue collar nice guy.

753
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: He is one of the easiest going people you will

754
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: ever meet in the NFL. And can you imagine going

755
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: from fraud Meyer, who had no clue what he was doing,

756
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: to Doug Peterson just one of the more consistent human

757
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: beings and nicer guys in probably like league history who

758
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: just pretty much no ego. I just think the Jags.

759
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: And you saw him coaching against Brandon Staley on Brandon

760
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: Staley's best day. He will never be as good as

761
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson's average day. And now that Doug Peterson comes

762
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:31,800
Speaker 1: back a little bit of a chip on his shoulder,

763
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: the way things ever, thing's ended in Philly and he

764
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: gets to inherit like think about this, once upon a

765
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 1: time he gets hired in Philly. They get Carson Wentz

766
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 1: and for a couple of years that looked pretty good,

767
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: you know, and then it went off the rails. And

768
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 1: now Carson I might have been a little too bullish

769
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 1: on Carson after Week one, it's not looking great, not

770
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 1: looking good at all. It's not even maybe all his fault.

771
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: But I am just maybe Carson Wentz isn't that good.

772
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: But Trevor Lawrence is. Trevor Lawrence is really talented, and

773
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 1: the sky's the limit, and Doug Peterson gets a chance

774
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: to to when you've been as bad as the Jags

775
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 1: have been, and they've been literally I said this on

776
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: Sunday night. They have been the worst team in the

777
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,439
Speaker 1: league for twenty four months. That's the only way it's

778
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: possible to draft number one back to back years. You

779
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 1: can't be any worse. You can't draft zero. They draft

780
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: the number one back to back years. Well, when you

781
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: draft number one, that means you draft high in every

782
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: single round. And when you draft high in every single round,

783
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: you just get the pick of the litter in the

784
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: second round, the third round, the fourth round. Maybe the

785
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 1: Jacks have more talent than we believe, but most importantly

786
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: now they have a credible coach, a calming influence, a professional,

787
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: a guy that belongs in the NFL, not someone in college.

788
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: They just can organize, you know, bags of cash to

789
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 1: the top players and then basically just you know over

790
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 1: you know, machismo is way and force coaches and players

791
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: to do it his way. That's not the way it

792
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: works in the NFL. The NFL is a scheme game.

793
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: It's a thinking man's game. I can't I can't just

794
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: buy everything. I have to out think my opponent. And

795
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: we Sawyer had no chance to do that. And Doug

796
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: Peterson has been an offensive coordinator now for five plus years.

797
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: He is a schematic guy. And I'm rooting for him.

798
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: Big game this week against the Eagles. Kind of a

799
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 1: cool little Doug Peterson back Sirianni, Trevor Lawrence, Jalen Hursts

800
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: that that should be a fun game. Jack's looks like

801
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: they got a chance to be pretty good. A couple

802
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: other things just wanted to fly around the league. I

803
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: said this going into last week. Two guys a lot

804
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: of pressure on him, Matt Rule, Baker Mayfield. They gotta

805
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,760
Speaker 1: win against Dennis Allen, who I told you like Dennis

806
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 1: Allen Jamis wins to give me a break that that

807
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 1: team that teams in shambles, that that team's got a chance.

808
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 1: I mean they got talent, but the head coach, the quarterback,

809
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: I don't see it. Uh. Howie Roseman has their first

810
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: round pick with a Shokia. You know, Sean Payton was

811
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: a huge loss all of a sudden, that pick is

812
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: gonna be you know, fringe top ten. But you know,

813
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield that they handled bi Us and I think

814
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers probably a little bit better than everyone realized.

815
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:05,879
Speaker 1: Kind of like I'm moving forward. I think they're gonna

816
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 1: be feisty. The other team that just I think if

817
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: he would have lost yesterday, and honestly, it looked like

818
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: he was gonna lose. I think Frank might have been

819
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 1: fired today. But somehow they pulled that game. Dumb penalty

820
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: by Chris Jones. I mean, at points in that time

821
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: in that game, it felt like the Chiefs were a

822
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: player two away from kind of blowing it open, and

823
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: they just couldn't give you credit that the whole point

824
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: of the game is find a way to win, and

825
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:31,840
Speaker 1: the Colts did, and Frank somehow survived. But I'll be honest,

826
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 1: watch a lot of that game, I don't know, I

827
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: don't necessarily see it. I think I think it's gonna

828
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: be a struggle for him allst season long. Obviously, the

829
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: news I'm recording this right before Monday Night Football this part,

830
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 1: UH schefter had said that mac Jones obviously at a

831
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 1: high ankle sprain that the level of the timetable is

832
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 1: somewhat unknown. Uh, that there were I flipped over to

833
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 1: that game yesterday and it is just it's surreal, surreal

834
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,280
Speaker 1: to see at Patricia on the sideline calling plays. I

835
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: I can never get over. Even though before Matt got hurt,

836
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: he pulled a couple of plays out of out of nowhere,

837
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: scrambling around like it was pretty impressive. He's also turned

838
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: the ball over a lot through a couple of picks yesterday.

839
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 1: I never saw it with the Patriots. I told you

840
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 1: I thought they were like a six win team, and

841
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:21,760
Speaker 1: I'm a Belichick truther, but he's out for an extended

842
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: period of time, like they're screwed. It's over that this

843
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 1: team is headed toward. I know Belichick's great, but you know,

844
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 1: if they got to play with Brian Hoyer, I mean,

845
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 1: are we talking about four or five win team. I

846
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: don't think they have that much talent. And now you're

847
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 1: missing Mac Jones for who knows how long. Anyone that's

848
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 1: played pickup basketball that has had one of a bad

849
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: ankle sprain. I remember the worst time I have spring

850
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 1: sprained my ankle. Parents just got a puppy, Callie. She

851
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,760
Speaker 1: was probably at the time, maybe three or four months

852
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,320
Speaker 1: of yellow lab and I was running with her and

853
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 1: I leaped over this kind of like concrete stool thing

854
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 1: in our backyard and I landed in the grass, put

855
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 1: in a hole in my ankle went And when you

856
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: get a high ankle sprain, it feels like you shattered

857
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:11,280
Speaker 1: your ankle. It is I never ever have a problem

858
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:15,359
Speaker 1: with anyone basically crying when that happens, that pain of

859
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 1: bending your ankle, unless I've never been slammed by an

860
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: NFL defensive lineman. But even if you just do it

861
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 1: on a basketball court, jumping somewhere, you want to cry,

862
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 1: I don't care how tough you are. So and then

863
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 1: obviously you know Trent Williams has one mac Jones. They

864
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: are bad and when you get them, they clearly take

865
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: a long long time to heal. So you know, I

866
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 1: think without Mac Jones, who listen, I'm not even the

867
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: biggest fan of as a player. I think that the

868
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: Patriots or God, they're screwed. I'm not saying I overvalued

869
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,720
Speaker 1: this team because Lamar Jackson is just a scoring machine.

870
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,280
Speaker 1: You just look at his box courts like through four touchdowns,

871
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: ran for another one week, through three touchdowns, ran for two.

872
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: He just scores points. It's my biggest issue with the Niners,

873
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: whether it's Trey Lance or Jimmy Garoppolok. I need the

874
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,439
Speaker 1: quarterback to put the ball in the end zone, whether

875
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 1: that's with his legs, whether that's throwing touchdowns. Find a

876
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: way to score points. It's the point of the game.

877
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: We need to put points on the board. And Lamar

878
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: Jackson points scorer. Whether it's with his arm, whether it's

879
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: with his legs. Dude, it's just a playmaker, and it's

880
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 1: one thing to be a playmaker. Twenty to twenty. He

881
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 1: finds a way in the end zone and he's done

882
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: it since he's got in the league. One thing that

883
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: concerns me a little bit with the Ravens. Their defense

884
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 1: is not as good as I thought it would be.

885
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: But one reason I thought they would be a power

886
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: because I thought their offense was gonna be good, but

887
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: I thought their defense was gonna be really good. So

888
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 1: I thought they were gonna be a very complete team.

889
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: And I watched him on defense. I mean, last week

890
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 1: they obviously crumbled. Uh this week against Mac Jones, even

891
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 1: they were the Patriots were making plays against him. I

892
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 1: think the Patriots skill wise, one of the worst, you know,

893
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: skill position guys in the league. So I have some

894
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: concerns with the Ravens as a team, not necessarily with

895
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: their offense. Dolphins and Bill I was doing a lot

896
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: of moving. I've moved a bunch of stuff into my office,

897
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: which should be up and running hopefully in the next week.

898
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: Uh here in Scottsdale. So I haven't. I wasn't able

899
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 1: to watch some of the games that I missed. I

900
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: didn't see really any of that game. Obviously. I've seen

901
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:16,800
Speaker 1: some of the stats. I mean, ninety plays or whatever,

902
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: thirty nine pretty insane. I did see the ending of

903
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: that game. I know I talked about the door se video. Uh,

904
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 1: you just gotta have situational awareness to run out of bounds. Um.

905
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 1: I I don't know what to tell you, but I

906
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 1: see it with the forty nine or the Bills have

907
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,720
Speaker 1: a million injuries. It's hard. I was talking to someone,

908
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,439
Speaker 1: maybe it was Gottlieb. I go on his radio show

909
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: once a week. It's pretty crazy in the NFL. We've

910
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: never taken more in football in general. Like when I

911
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 1: was in high school. You get a concussion, they threw

912
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: you back in. That was like two thousand three two.

913
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: You get concussions, shake it off, boom, get back in

914
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 1: the game. It wasn't even that long ago. Now, concussions,

915
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 1: the safety of the league is is big time. Even

916
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,319
Speaker 1: though obviously the to thing they claim it's back to

917
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 1: a claim to his head. He clearly hit his head

918
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: on the play. Uh. You know that's something the media

919
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 1: usually freaks out about. I I can't even pretend to care.

920
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: I don't think actually anyone actually cares. It's just one

921
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: of those things that's it looks cool to get worked

922
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 1: up about it on social media. It's not like changes

923
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: the way you're living your life. It's like, but listen

924
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: if they say it's back, I mean, I don't know,

925
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 1: but sure looks like his head. But ultimately point is

926
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,399
Speaker 1: that all these guys getting injured left and right, like

927
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 1: we I don't remember this many consistent injuries when I

928
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 1: was a kid, like in the nineties and the two

929
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 1: thousand's back when they had double days. It's somewhat like sparring.

930
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: I'm not, you know, a UFC or a boxer, but

931
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: I know that for those guys to get ready for

932
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 1: the fight, what do they do they spark. You can't

933
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 1: just get into the ring and get hit if you're

934
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 1: not used to it. And I've been going to training

935
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 1: camp practices and NFL practice now for a long time.

936
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 1: They just don't practice like they used to. And I

937
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 1: but the team, the speed of all these play years,

938
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 1: guys have never been faster, so while the collisions might

939
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 1: not be quite as crazy because guys don't lead with

940
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,759
Speaker 1: their head and stuff, it's still very violent and these

941
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 1: injuries are just left and right right now, So I

942
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, my only theory would be

943
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 1: is like, I don't think the the lack of practice

944
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 1: is actually helping keep guys safe, which sounds crazy, but

945
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 1: that's just the reality. And the last but not least,

946
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: I I'm rooting for the Lions. I like Dan campbell Um.

947
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 1: Right when I got hired with the Eagles, Do Staley.

948
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 1: I used to pick him up every day. He was

949
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: also like an intern, and I love do Staley. You

950
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 1: could tell immediately the dude had it. So if you

951
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: have Do Staley on your coaching staff, I'm gonna root

952
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 1: for your team. And then obviously you watch Hard Knocks.

953
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 1: It just the Lions are a likable team. When you

954
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:48,800
Speaker 1: are the underdog, whether it be in football, whether it

955
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 1: be in business, in anything, you have nothing to lose.

956
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 1: Right when you're on top, when you're the Yankees, when

957
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 1: you're the Warriors, when you're Amazon, on when your Apple,

958
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,360
Speaker 1: you got a lot to lose. When when you're the

959
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,799
Speaker 1: little guy, like when Boise State played Oklahoma. Do you

960
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 1: know why they ran the Statue of Liberty, because you

961
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:09,959
Speaker 1: know what happens if it didn't work. No one thought

962
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:13,800
Speaker 1: they were gonna beat Oklahoma. So when you're the underdog,

963
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: you might as well take swings because if you don't lose,

964
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 1: no one thought you were gonna win to begin with.

965
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: It's why so many people that make it big to

966
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:27,879
Speaker 1: take huge risks. And Dan Campbell, I watched the fourth

967
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 1: quarter of that game, and he even he said after

968
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 1: the game, I screwed up. Basically, I pushed out. He

969
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: kicked the field goal instead of going forward on fourth

970
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:38,799
Speaker 1: and four, and when he kicked the field goal, he

971
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: missed the field goal. A couple of plays later, Kirk

972
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 1: Cousins throws a touchdown. They're up three. He tried to

973
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 1: kick a field goal to make him go up six

974
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:49,279
Speaker 1: and Kirk Cousins, they didn't get it, and three or

975
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 1: four plays later he throws it a long touchdown and

976
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 1: the Vikings win. And I'm pretty sure the Lions. I

977
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 1: mean I followed the game on the ticker, watching the

978
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of the game back today because I

979
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 1: wanted to see that situation where leading the majority of

980
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 1: the game and Dan Campbell said he regretted it, and

981
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 1: he told his team that. And I think the number

982
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 1: one thing and quality that I was rooting for them,

983
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 1: and I believe Dan Campbell would have is he kind

984
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:14,280
Speaker 1: of be fearless. And sometimes it's easy to talk about

985
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 1: being fearless, like hey, I listen, I'm willing to invest

986
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: and the stock market starts plumbering and it's like I

987
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 1: don't want to put my money into it. Well, if

988
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 1: you want to make big money, you usually gotta buy

989
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: stuff when it's low. So if you're not willing to buy,

990
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 1: if over the next year, if economic chaos happens, in

991
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: the recession happens, don't be the guy in five or

992
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 1: six years, Well I should have done that. You know

993
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 1: when that when the housing market went down, you know,

994
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 1: I was hoping it would go down and it didn't

995
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 1: and then it was shot back up. I should have bought.

996
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,439
Speaker 1: Don't be that guy have the balls. And I hope

997
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell isn't just saying that he regrets it, but

998
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: he starts doing it, you know, part of you know,

999
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: if if the Lions are gonna have success with Dan

1000
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 1: Campbell and Jared Goff is his quarterback, they're gonna have

1001
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:02,840
Speaker 1: to be have some ball. And listen, Dan Campbell screwed

1002
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 1: up yesterday and it might have cost his team to

1003
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 1: win because they are there in every game and I

1004
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: don't think they're going away. But like I said, I

1005
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 1: think right before the season for some of these bad teams,

1006
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:17,879
Speaker 1: the only way to not be bad is to get

1007
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 1: some early positive momentum to get some wins. And the

1008
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: Lions were this close, four yards away from being two

1009
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 1: and one and having an enormous win over the Minnesota

1010
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: Vikings Division rival. But instead they try to kick field

1011
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:56,800
Speaker 1: goal backfires and they lose the volume
