1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: The volume What is going on Everybody three and Out

2
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: podcast with me Middlecoff. Welcome back, thanks for coming. Just

3
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: finished watching a little Raiders Chargers game was good. The

4
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: Raiders have played. I guess the last five minutes kind

5
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: of sucked, but for the most part in the second

6
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: half it kind of awoke. We had a good game.

7
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: They're very entertaining so Fi Stadium. I need to get

8
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: down there and check it out. That plays Rocks. It's

9
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: it's been really impressive. I think a lot of us

10
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: questioned what the atmosphere would be like. It's been good.

11
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: Now unique atmosphere, Raider, a lot of Raider fans, probably

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: a Raider home game, but still you have the Rams,

13
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: the Raiders, obviously the Chargers. Uh, you should just make

14
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: a couple of Raider home games there every year. I

15
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: guess they gotta play at Allegiant to because you know,

16
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: Mark Davis, the NFL and the casinos have a lot

17
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: of money invested there. But uh, I was very entertained.

18
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: A lot of talent hit my mind again, a little biased.

19
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: A lot of talent right now in the NFL west

20
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: of west of Denver, the NFC and a f C West.

21
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: A lot of good players in those divisions. Holy moly, Well,

22
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna dive into the game off the top. Uh,

23
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: some thoughts on Urban Meyer and his apology today and

24
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: just you know, some things that made me a little

25
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: uncomfortable about the reaction to it. All. The Packers are rolling,

26
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are rolling. Watch those two games, very very impressed. Uh,

27
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: looked a little bit around. Just Justin Fields had a

28
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 1: big game, you know, a big game for his standards,

29
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 1: coming off what he did last week. I just saw

30
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: a clip on Twitter during Monday Night Football of Myles

31
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: Garrett against Kirk Kirk Cousins. Holy, I mean, just that guy.

32
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: He's an unstoppable force. I don't have really any opinions

33
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: on that game because it was seven to eleven the

34
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: majority of the game, But Myles Garrett is an animal.

35
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh's on fire of course, Middlecoff mail Bag at

Speaker 1: heard of it is owned by Google. It's kind of

51
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: a big deal. But let's save in the Monday night.

52
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: Overall the Raiders have played in two Monday night games

53
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: that we're just pretty awesome. Like I was pretty glued

54
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: now I'm a little biased. Uh I follow these divisions

55
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: really closely known cars since he was uh really in

56
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: high school with Bakersfield Christian when we had you know,

57
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: he was committed to come to Fresno State, justin Herbert.

58
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: I've had a soft spot and let's start with the Chargers.

59
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: Is it hit me tonight? Like sometimes luck has to

60
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: be on your side. We all have to get a

61
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: little lucky. People often ask like, how did you meet Coward?

62
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: I'm like on Twitter? You know we didn't have like

63
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: some connection. I met him through Twitter. I'm sure a

64
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: lot of people listening how you met your girlfriend, how

65
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: you met your wife? Like, there's some luck involved, especially

66
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: if you met him out at a bar, at a

67
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: concert or at an event, Like what if they hadn't

68
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: have been there that night, but if you had ever

69
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: met him? Right? I mean that there is luck involved

70
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: in life. And when you look at the Chargers, the

71
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: two most important people in this franchise right now, the

72
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: quarterback and the coach. Well, let's look how they got

73
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: the quarterback. They got him six overall. Well, Joe Burrow

74
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: went one. Joe Burrows a star, Chase Young went to

75
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: let's face it, he's really good. If the Washington football team,

76
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: who had a little bit of a problem right now,

77
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's on them, but did you

78
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: see the Feds rated their trainer, his offices, his house,

79
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: he didn't travel to the game. Kind of a weird deal.

80
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: I guess it's not football related, but something to keep

81
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: an eye on. They would trade Chase Young for Justin

82
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: Herbert and hartbeat of course, they would then the next

83
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: couple of picks Jeff Okuda, who was terrible before he

84
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: tore his achilles, and Andrew Thomas and then this guy

85
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: named Tua Tongua Voloa who just isn't very good. There

86
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: is not a person in this world beside the family

87
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: of Toah that would take too over Herbert, so for

88
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: the Chargers to acquire. And I was also thinking today

89
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 1: they went from Drew Brees to Philip Rivers to Justin Herbert,

90
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: Like Dean Spanos has had it pretty good in the quarterback.

91
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: Uh you know, room, that's it doesn't get that much better.

92
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 1: It's not exactly far too Rogers or manning the luck,

93
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: but that's pretty damn good. And they got this guy

94
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: with pure luck because the Dolphins are in shambles right now.

95
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: It's gonna go down as one of the great swings

96
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: and missus in NFL history that they took to uh

97
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: over this guy. And listen, you don't apologize for luck

98
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: when you are not drafting one. Overall, you do not

99
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: control the draft anyone who you know your team's drafting

100
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: like fourteen or eighteen or twenty three. So much is

101
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: out of your control, especially if you're not going to

102
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: trade up. You need a lot of luck, you need

103
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: a lot of crazy things to happen. I vividly remember

104
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: working at the radio station and I was covering the

105
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: Raiders draft at the Oakland Coliseum with Greg Papa, who

106
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: was the voice of the Raiders at the time, and

107
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: we were doing a draft show and it was like,

108
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: you know, could they take Sammy Watkins at five? Like

109
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack is gonna be long gone? If you remember

110
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: Mike Mayock. Ironically, now, the general manager of the Raiders

111
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: had Khalil Mack as his number one overall player over Clowney,

112
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: and that was pretty polarizing at the time. And Clowney

113
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: goes one, and then a couple other guys, and then

114
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Buffalo trades with Cleveland and take

115
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins number four, and Khalil mac falls into the

116
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: Raiders lap. Now it's as crazy with Justin Herbert, because

117
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: looking back, Justin Herbert was wasn't viewed as some all

118
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: time prospect. But when you really dive in to why

119
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: I think he was nitpicked his offensive coordinator. The offensive

120
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: coordinators the University of Oregon has had over the last

121
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: couple of decades are guys like Jeff Tedford, Chip Kelly

122
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: right now Morehead, the dude from Penn State who's a stud.

123
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: Even Helfritz was pretty damn good when he was under

124
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: Chip right Justin Herbert had Marcus Arroyo who is now

125
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: at you and l V. For the last two years,

126
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: he has yet to win a football game. The University

127
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: of Oregon has also historically had a lot of talent

128
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: at the skill positions wide receivers, tight ends, running backs.

129
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: In Herbert's like, especially his junior and senior year, I

130
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: don't think he played with an NFL skill guy. So

131
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 1: he had an offensive coordinator who had no clue what

132
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: he was doing, and he didn't have any talent around him.

133
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: So he's a physically he's a physical freak. He's six

134
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: ft five, six ft six, he's two hundred thirty plus pounds,

135
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: he's got a huge arm. He was a four point

136
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: two student, Like he's just what more can he ask for?

137
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: And it's it really is nuts, and it's it's not

138
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: fair to do this because at the time it was like,

139
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: of course you would take two over Herbert, But looking back,

140
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: it's like, you take this little guy from Alabama who's

141
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: always injured over this physical specimen, like it's just one

142
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: of those things that's not cann aid very well. And

143
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: then think about the coach. Think how much luck was

144
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: involved to make Brandon Staley the Charger's head coach. Which, listen,

145
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: guy's a big time coach. You know. I was probably

146
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: critical of him a year ago at the start because

147
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: everyone's like, oh this rams d C. Sometimes I'm just

148
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: a little counterculture. So I saw everyone going one way.

149
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: I went the other way. I had a buddy who

150
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: had worked with him, was like, yeah, I think he's

151
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: a little overhyped. I was wrong. The dude is a

152
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: star head coach. He's big time. He's easily right now

153
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: a top now for defensive coordinators, are there really like

154
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: five or six that you would really want? Probably Max right,

155
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: Fangio's one. He's also a head coach, Like it's a

156
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: short list. Todd Bowles, he's on it. He's a head

157
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: coach and he's defensive coordinator. The dudes is stud but

158
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: the reason and they talked a little bit about it

159
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: on the broadcast. God mannings, we miss you guys, we'd

160
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: like it if you come back. I saw Eli had

161
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: a good tweet like just texting or talking on the

162
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: phone with Peyton Manning. Uh kind of missed this. We're

163
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: all sweaty. It's like, yeah, bro, can you just do

164
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: every game? But Brandon Staley ends up as the Charger's

165
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: head coach because Sean McVeigh hires the guy from the

166
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. We'll think about this. Brandon Staley had been

167
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: in the NFL before that, like four years, so it

168
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: was pretty good, Like, uh, pretty good vision by Sean

169
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: McVeigh to get this guy, Brandon Staley. In no world

170
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: did Sean McVeigh think he was gonna lose his defensive

171
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: coordinator within a year. He was like, this guy was

172
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: in at John Carroll four years ago. This guy never

173
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: coached in the NFL before like two thousands and sixteen.

174
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: But then he learned from Fangio. He clearly takes good

175
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: notes and he's just a really good natural coach. And

176
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: then the Chargers, who are also in the market, realized, God,

177
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: this guy's leading the number one defense. God, this energetic

178
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: coach really kind of you know pops in this area

179
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: in Sean McVeigh, Well, what does Brandon Salley bring the table.

180
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: He's a really innovative defensive mind. He actually was a

181
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: college quarterback and he's highly energetic and intelligent, so they

182
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: hired him. But if they had been to me in

183
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: a different city, I don't know if it happens. So

184
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: the element of luck to getting the two most important

185
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: people in their franchise were Herbert falling in the draft,

186
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: which looking back at worst, he goes to and I think, listen,

187
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: I'm a big Joe Burrow guy. But if I had

188
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: to choose, and listen, I'm biased. I like stronger arm quarterbacks.

189
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: I would take Herbert over Burrow. I wouldn't argue with

190
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: you took Burrow. But it just shows you looking back,

191
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: like how did that happen? Brandon Staleley, if I would

192
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: have told you three years ago he would have been

193
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: a head coach when he was an outside linebacker coach

194
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: for Denver, you would have looked at me like I

195
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: had three heads. So and listen, you don't apologize for luck.

196
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes it just happens, and the charges are benefiting from it.

197
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: There three and one, they just beat the Chiefs, then

198
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: they beat the ray He's like, they look pretty good.

199
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: And for the Raiders, I'll give them credit to to

200
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: start three and one with that schedule, Like, that's impressive.

201
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: They look good. They are clearly better than years past,

202
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: and it might be a little luck on their part, Slash.

203
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 1: They didn't have any other options, but they just stuck

204
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: or stuck with Derek Carr over the years, and now

205
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: they're reaping the benefits. Like, he's a really good quarterback.

206
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: Is he a top five quarterback? Probably not? Is he

207
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: somewhere between like seven and eleven? Yeah? Can you make

208
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: the playoffs with that guy? Hell? Yeah? Have they done

209
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: a great job of surrounding him with a lot of talent.

210
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: Darren Waller a couple of years ago, was a guy

211
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: battling drug addiction. Now I was texting with a guy

212
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: in the Chiefs. He's like, yeah, he's right there with Kelsey.

213
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: The dude's a star. I mean, Darren Waller, how many

214
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: non quarterbacks on offense in the NFL would you take over,

215
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: Darren Waller? The list is short, Josh Jacobs, stud Henry

216
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: Ruggs coming into his own. You know, Gruden, I'd give

217
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: him credit. Like his offense, he struggles a little bit

218
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: on short yardage, but he's got some conservative tendencies. But

219
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: to also give them credit, he hired gust Bradley, and

220
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: the Raiders, for the first time in decades, can tackle.

221
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: And I say this all the time. I think sometimes

222
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: like to get to the Belichick or Todd Bowles or

223
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: the Vic Fangio. You know, you dive so deep schematically

224
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: in defense. To me, the most basic element of defense.

225
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: If you can do this, you have a chance open

226
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: field tackle. If you open field tackle and then you

227
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: get some talent on defense, you'll naturally get a better

228
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: pass rush or some better coverage. But if you can't

229
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 1: open field tackle, I don't care who's playing for your defense,

230
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna get torched. And the Raiders, and I've had

231
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: a front row seat for them for about a decade,

232
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: they have been the worst tackling team in the league.

233
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: And now they just tackle and you can tell they

234
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: are credible. Playoff level squad game was awesome. The a

235
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: f C West is really good. I mean, I think

236
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: with Teddy Bridgewater got a concussion, the Broncos have a

237
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: ton of injuries. They're gonna come back to earth a

238
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 1: little bit. But between the Raiders, the Chargers, and the

239
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: Chiefs a little bit like the NFC West, I mean,

240
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: you could probably argue those are to the two best

241
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: of visions in football, and honestly, it might not be close.

242
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: It feels like I'm jamming out, baby, jamming out. Uh,

243
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: what a beautiful day, beautiful Monday and something that went. Okay,

244
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: let's just let's just dive head first into a man

245
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: known as Urban Meyer. For those of you that have

246
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: listened to the show, know that I've been very critical

247
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: and I once had a nickname calling Urban fraud Meyer.

248
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: And my issue with Urban was always based on his

249
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: moral superiority and the programs in which he ran. I

250
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,719
Speaker 1: mean his program in Florida Murderers drug dealers, but he

251
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: he talked about like life lessons. I was like Urban,

252
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: like Saban doesn't talk like that, just wins and losses,

253
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: you know, and then the hell stuff whatever. Then when

254
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: he came to the NFL, my main issue with Urban

255
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: in the NFL was like, I don't think it's a

256
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: good fit. And he went to the Jags like, I

257
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: just don't see it. Clue, it's not going well. Now

258
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: they're team sucks. But as I talked about last week

259
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: after the Thursday night game, their coaching staff is pretty embarrassing.

260
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer as a coach when he coached to college

261
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: is an all time great. He's elite. He also had

262
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: elite coaching staffs. Dan Mullen ever heard of him? Like,

263
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: did pretty good? Right, He's at Florida one in Mississippi State.

264
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: That's a big time assistant head coach. Even some of

265
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: the guys that he had when he was at Ohio State,

266
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: whether it was Fickle who's now kicking ass and taking

267
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: names in Cincinnati, Herman who you know fell apart a

268
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 1: little bit of Texas but was a really good offensive coordinator,

269
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: speaks for itself. He had high level staffs, and he

270
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: was an elite college coach. Comes to the NFL, it

271
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: feels like he's a little over his head. It's a

272
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: tactical game and he's a motivator, and there's nothing wrong

273
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: with being a motivator. John Harbaugh is too. He has

274
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: Greg Roman and Wink Martindale, google those guys resumes pretty

275
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: good coordinators. It's tactical game on Sundays. But I was

276
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: pretty uncomfortable with everything that happened over the weekend. I

277
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: guess it would have been Saturday night and think Winston

278
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: Churchill said this, never trust a man without advice, and

279
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: I struggle with social media, even though the irony is

280
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: Instagram and Facebook are down right now, some weird stuff

281
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: going in zuckerberg Land. I was slipping around channels last night.

282
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: The Whistleblower was on sixty minutes. I don't even care.

283
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: But it's like I can't even keep up with these

284
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: social media stories. But ultimately see on social media a

285
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: lot of people in you know, I don't even know

286
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: what my profession is. I I talked for money. I don't.

287
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: I'm not a journalist. But a lot of journalists and

288
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: definitely politicians, they use their platforms on social media to

289
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: get on this moral high horse. And the louder you

290
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: get like that, the bigger of a fraud I think

291
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: you are. The more skeletons you have. There's a big

292
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: reason I don't really get on my moral high horse.

293
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: I got skeletons. Do what we all do. I have

294
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: no like. I try to treat people well and do

295
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: the right thing, but we all got issues. I like

296
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: to boost, you know, I mean, who doesn't. It's it's legal,

297
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: It's America. So this guy is oh and four and

298
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: he stays in Ohio. Right, They play Joe Burrow in

299
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: the Bengals. He stays there and he goes out with

300
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: the boys. A night out with the boys, has a

301
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: few pops, like I'm sorry I saw with my dad,

302
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: who was not a drinker, like I think if he

303
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: would have drank a little bit, might have relaxed. You know.

304
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: I drink to just chill. And we all have different vices,

305
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: whether it's marijuana, whether it's yoga, whether it's working out whatever,

306
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: Like he wanted to have a few cocktails. And I

307
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: believe this to my core. And you see this a

308
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: lot on Twitter, like when a guy gets drafted and

309
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: some booker eating loser that goes through his timeline and

310
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: goes do you know what this guy was saying at

311
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: fifteen years old, I'm lucky. I'm about to be thirty seven.

312
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: Uh this week. Actually, when I was that age, right, fifteen,

313
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: even through like my twenties, this stuff did not exist.

314
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: So there is no resume of stupid shit that I'm

315
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: sure I would have tweeted, I would have been up

316
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: put on videos. It doesn't exist for my generation. But

317
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: this generation that's now like twenty two, they've had a

318
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: decade worth of things to do stupid stuff with social media.

319
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: When you're twelve, when you're fifteen, when you're eighteen, you

320
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: do dumb things. But also when you're older most of us,

321
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: and most of us aren't remotely as famous as Urban Meyer,

322
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: So if we go out and get plastered, no one's

323
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: taking videos of us without us knowing. I also have

324
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: a problem with this. I think people assume that the

325
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: way their relationship is, that the way their marriage is

326
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: is the way everyone's marriage is. I have no clue

327
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer's marriage. I do not care. I don't judge

328
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: anyone on what they do inside their home as long

329
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: as they're not like beating their kids or whatever. But

330
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: the way that them and their significant other, they can

331
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: do whatever the hell they want. My parents I used

332
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: to they always, you know, because older people gossip about

333
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: other people. It's like, I don't care, let them do

334
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: what they want. I also think you would be shocked

335
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: to know the amount of people that do what I

336
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: think us normal people would consider a little weird or

337
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 1: definitely like that. My wife and my girlfriend would not

338
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: allow that to happen, that they're allowed that to happen.

339
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 1: One story that popped, I think like last week, even

340
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: though I had heard about this, probably fifteen years ago

341
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: because I knew someone that had like worked at his

342
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,719
Speaker 1: compound with will Smith. Will Smith admitted that they basically

343
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: had an open relationship for like decades, him and Jada,

344
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: and people like, oh my god, that's crazy again. I

345
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: remember hearing this in like the mid two thousand's. But

346
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: the elites and super rich people and even non rich people, like,

347
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 1: everyone has their relationships differently. I don't judge anyone on anything,

348
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: but this notion that he can't go out and have

349
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: a few vodka SODA's like to me, and everyone ripping

350
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: him on Twitter, like, everyone ripping him on Twitter is

351
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: like having cocktails out with their buddies. To me, the

352
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: whole thing was pretty hip critical and then he had

353
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: to come and apologize, which I understand why he has

354
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 1: to apologize. They're getting made fun of on the internet,

355
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: but I was uncomfortable with the whole thing. He's not

356
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: losing the Jaguars haven't been a joke because Urban Meyer

357
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: had some cocktails with some It was in Ohio, so

358
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: some boosters, some people that hangs with whatever, Like I

359
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: just I everyone's just kicking him while he's down and

360
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: acting like this is not allowed. It's not allowed to

361
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 1: go out and have some drinks. It's not allowed. I mean,

362
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 1: what was he doing. He wasn't making out the chick,

363
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: And even if he was, how do you know that

364
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: his wife wouldn't let him do that? So I I

365
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: just I think the society that we live in. But

366
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: if your first move is when you see someone and listen,

367
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: I'm sure before Actually I don't know if I have.

368
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: If someone like Urban Meyer, if your first move is

369
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 1: to take a video of him without him knowing, I'm sorry,

370
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: I kind of think you're a loser if not a

371
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: video to like show your friends, like, look Urban Meyers

372
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: at the bar, because he's just there. But if you're

373
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: doing it too, like I think this is gonna go

374
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: viral because he has some like twenty five year old

375
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: chick rubbing up on him. Like, I'm sorry, I can't

376
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: relate to that. Someone told me a story the other day.

377
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: They were on a plane and this lady was all

378
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: worked up over something stupid, like over the bag overhead

379
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: or whatever, and she was getting really loud, and right

380
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: away this guy pulls out his phone, he's like five

381
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: feet away and starts filming, like and I think that

382
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: happens all over society, the first move is always phone

383
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: out film. It's like, how about you just put your

384
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: phone away and just walk by or just not do that?

385
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: Is that where we're at? And I'm not naive to

386
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: think that's gonna go away. I just can't relate to that,

387
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 1: And I just I can't act like Urban Meyer is

388
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: any different than any of us because he's getting his

389
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: ass kicked at his job and he wants to go

390
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: have a few pops. Like again, if any man without

391
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 1: advice is untrustworthy, and I think most people talking a

392
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: ton of ship on the interweb would be would do

393
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: the same thing. Now, should he have been some order

394
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,239
Speaker 1: shooting onto some v I p like, I don't know.

395
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: Everywhere Michael Jordan goes, he has a cocktail and a

396
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: stogy in his hand. No one cares. It's like, oh,

397
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: this is Michael being Michael. But Urban like after he

398
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: loses has you know, two cocktails and it goes viral

399
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: over the internet and we act like he should like

400
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: lose his job and he has to apologize the day later.

401
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: I think the whole thing is stupid. He's not a

402
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: good NFL coach because he's not a great tactician because

403
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: his team sucks because they drafted a first round running

404
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: back when they had a million other needs, because his

405
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: staff isn't any good. But like him out at a bar,

406
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 1: like there's no story to me, it's no story, but

407
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: of course it's a huge story. He had to apologize.

408
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: I just I'm at a loss on that one. Fan

409
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: Duel sports book wants you to get the most out

410
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: of every NFL game day. That's why they're giving everyone

411
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: a ten dollar risk free bet every week. All you

412
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: have to do that the same game parlay beat with

413
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: three legs or more, and if your bet doesn't win,

414
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 1: Fandel will pay you back up to ten dollars. So,

415
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 1: by the way, I like the Chargers to win and

416
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 1: cover against the Raiders, albeit at the game, I think

417
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna be high scoring. The Raiders have had to

418
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 1: come back from big deficits. The last time the Chargers

419
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 1: were at home, they lost the game they should have won.

420
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 1: I think they'll be really laser focused. I like the

421
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: Chargers to win and cover the spread. I think Herbert

422
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: passing yards over three hundred, how about that over three

423
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: yards passing, So there's no feeling like nailing the same

424

00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: I was shocked start to finish. And I think, you know,

444
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: for most of us in society, physicality right where we

445
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: don't fight like the older you get. You don't get

446
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: in fist fights in your thirties or forties, if you're

447
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,479
Speaker 1: grown up with a real job, if you yell at

448
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: a colleague back when everyone was working, even though I

449
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: think a lot of people are working again. But like

450
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 1: as the jobs right, like as the the office buildings

451
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: open up, like you you can get into an argument

452
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: it with a coworker and it happens. I've had one.

453
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've had one. It's raw humans. You don't

454
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: then shove the guy. There's no physical confrontation or else.

455
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: You know, it becomes a problem, but mentally, like you

456
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: have to be able to handle if you're an employee

457
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: getting your and you have a real job, getting your

458
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: ass rip by your boss, getting screamed at, getting reprimanded,

459
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: getting told like, hey man, if you don't hit your quota,

460
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,719
Speaker 1: this is not gonna last. Right. And I think in

461
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: my experience, especially when I was a kid growing up,

462
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: my friends parents that were successful people in the neighborhood

463
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: that we knew that were really successful. The most successful

464
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: people were very mentally tough. And the older you get,

465
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: Like I said, you don't have to be physically tough,

466
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: but mentally in this world everyone acts like is getting

467
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: softer and softer. Literally, every person I know right now

468
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: that I am close with in life, or that I

469
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: that I have some relationship with, that is successful in

470
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: their profession it is making a lot of money. Are

471
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: mentally tough s o b s. Mentally soft people get

472
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: destroyed in the real world, and I think in football

473
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: it's very similar society. There just is a physical element.

474
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: You have to be mentally tough because days are long,

475
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: weeks are long, the grind is long. You also get

476
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: yelled at you getting these confrontations, you get told you're

477
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 1: not good enough. So it's mentally taxing. And then as

478
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: a player, there's also a physical element, right, there's a

479
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: physical element in basketball and football in M M A.

480
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: Like you know in baseball there's not obviously golf there's not.

481
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: But in football there is one man if you're an

482
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: offensive lineman across from you try to knock you back

483
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: and you're trying to do the same to him. If

484
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: you're a wide receiver, there are several guys trying to

485
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: tackle you, so on and so on. We all know

486
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: the risk of playing the sport. You have to be

487
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: mentally and physically tough to have success in the NFL.

488
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: It's not even arguable. I'm watching the Cowboys and going, well,

489
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: they're really talented. They have a ton of talent on offense.

490
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons has been one of the best rookies so

491
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: far this year. You can play like three different positions.

492
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: He's all over the field. Uh. Defensively, they're clearly way

493
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: better with Dan Quinn. Their special teams is good. Kellen

494
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: Moore's is stud not quite true what Mike McCarthy's doing.

495
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: This did have that cool sprinkle shirt sweatser. I mean

496
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: he didn't choose it. Everyone in the NFL was wearing

497
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: it yesterday. I don't think it's a terrible look. I'd

498
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: probably rock in my house and like a Saturday like

499
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 1: during the winter if I'm just lounging around. But like

500
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 1: that team, And this is a knock on McCarthy's teams

501
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: forever in Green Bay, and it might have been a

502
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 1: direct reflection he had poor defensive coordinators that they were

503
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: always soft and it always let them down physically soft.

504
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: You know, mentally they had a bunch of talent, but

505
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: when they got into fist fights against the forty niners

506
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 1: over the years, you know, with Hardball, and then a

507
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: couple of years ago in the playoffs with Kyle Shanahan,

508
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: they got shoved around. And I'm watching Mike McCarthy's team

509
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys. I'm going this team is physically tough. Now.

510
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: A huge part of Mike McCarthy, the knock on Mike

511
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: for years in Green Bay was philosophically. They only wanted

512
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: to throw the ball. And I was with the Eagles

513
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: when they beat us in the playoffs. They went on

514
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl. I'm pretty sure James Starts

515
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: had like a hundred fifty yards. They actually ran the

516
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: ball pretty well in that playoff run. And that was

517
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: the one time in Aaron Rodgers tenure, even to this day,

518
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 1: that they got over the hump and they won the

519
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: whole thing. And you're watching the Cowboys and I only

520
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: watched one episode of Hard Knocks, But on that first episode,

521
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 1: one thing they harped on was like, Zeke, he's in

522
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: good shape. Change his diet. You're like, god, he does

523
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: look pretty good. And you know, everyone wants to crush Zeke,

524
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: not because they don't like Zeke. To me, he's a

525
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: pretty likable player. He's got a big personality. Does the

526
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: you know, feed himself like I just I enjoy the

527
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: player a lot, just about Like he's the best pass

528
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: blocking running back in years in the league, and when

529
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: he's been healthy in his career, he's an elite player.

530
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: But I think a lot of people, especially the analytical elites,

531
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: they love going you could never pay a running back

532
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 1: Jerry screwed up and listen to it kind of looked

533
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: like that last year. It's like, I wouldn't love pan

534
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: Zeke fifteen million dollars a year, But watching him yester

535
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: day against Carolina Who, you listen, their defense might have

536
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: been a little overrated based on the schedule, but statistically

537
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: they have been one of the better defense in the league.

538
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: Zeke Elliott ran the ball right down their throat, down

539
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: after down after down, and basically McCarthy and the Cowboys

540
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: are like, there ain't nothing you guys can do about it.

541
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 1: And when you play a guy like Zeke who, it's

542
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: gonna be hard for him to have like a twelve

543
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 1: year career because he lowers his shoulder on contact and

544
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 1: he punished his defenders like it kind of just took

545
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: the will out of Carolina. And then the Cowboys, they

546
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: have an incredible passing game. Amari Cooper, baller, Ceedee Lamb

547
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: Bahler number one. Wilson don't know much about that guy.

548
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 1: He looks sweet. Jarwin looks good. When you can run

549
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 1: the ball like that, and you have all this talent

550
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: on the passing game and your quarterbacks good, you're kind

551
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: of become an unstoppable offense. But physically early in that game,

552
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: and as the game went on, I felt they kind

553
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 1: of broke Carolina's like, yeah, you ain't stopping this guy.

554
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 1: He's gonna run the ball right down your throat and

555
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,199
Speaker 1: it can't be disputed. That's as fast and as quick

556
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: and decisive, and I'm not even just talking about the

557
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: big run, but just talking about like five and seven

558
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: yard runs. You're like, this is the Zeke from a

559
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. And if our offense is gonna

560
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: be this good, we got digs who looks like Dion

561
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: Sanders Jr's picking balls off every game, and their pressure

562
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 1: upfronts good. Michael Parsons making plays the two linebackers look good.

563
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 1: You know, this team is good. I mean they're physically tough,

564
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 1: they're clearly mentally. I mean they've gone through a lot. Obviously,

565
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott is kind of the heart and soul of

566
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 1: the team. Dude comes back from the injury. Uh again,

567
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: not quite sure what Mike McCarthy does. Doesn't call the events. Obviously,

568
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: no defense or special teams, but uh, you just kind

569
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: of manage in the ship. I was really really impressed

570
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: because I also think Sam Donald, who has looked really

571
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: good this season, you know, especially given that it didn't

572
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: cost the first round pick to acquire him. I you know,

573
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: if he's the Carolina Panthers quarterback for the next five, six,

574
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: seven years, and they acquired him for a second round pick,

575
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: like a lot of teams could have had them. The

576
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: forty Niners could have had him, the Jets could have

577
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: kept him. And we'll see. I mean, there are a

578
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: lot of it's impossible to judge it through four weeks.

579
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: It will be impossible to judge it through a season,

580
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: but in like three or four years, we're gonna be

581
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: able to look back and go. We talk a lot

582
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: about you know, the the the profit is made what

583
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: you pay for it, not what you sell it at. Right.

584
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: So if you sell your home for a million dollars,

585
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: would you buy it for right? Did you buy it

586
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: for four grand in May six d dollars? Or did

587
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: you overpay at the peak of the market and get

588
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: it for eight and actually you only made a little

589
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: over a hundred grad. You make the profit and what

590
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: you acquire the player for. Look at what the forty

591
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: Niners had to pay to get Trey Lance three first

592
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: round picks. Three first round picks, part of what made

593
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo all those years like such a good deal

594
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: and only costs him a second round pick. So if

595
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers were able to get I don't think

596
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: Sam Sam Donald's never gonna be a top five quarterback.

597
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: That's not happening. Can he be somewhere in like the

598
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: seven to fifteen range, like when he's good being the

599
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,719
Speaker 1: being the single digits, and when he's bad be like

600
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: fourteen fifteen, pretty good shape. I trade a second round

601
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: pick when I don't have a quarterback for that all day.

602
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: So my two takeaways were kind of like what I'm

603
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: seeing out of Sam Donald. One GJ. Morris stud and God,

604
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Cowboys are for real. If they get this

605
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: version to Zeke, they are going to be a handful.

606
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: I said this last week, and I said it after

607
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: the first week actually, when everyone and people are asking you,

608
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: you know, like I go on Gottlip Show, You're texting

609
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: on people like do you think that Rogers and the Packers,

610
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: And it was just a narrative all over social media

611
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: with all the talking heads that like, did Rogers mail

612
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: in the offseason? Doesn't give a ship? Now the team's

613
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: gonna be in shambles, And once you only have the

614
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: one game to go off of, you're like, well, I'm

615
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: not gonna say that's not possible. But I wasn't willing

616
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: to go there, not with a player of his stature,

617
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: not with the team with that much talent, not a

618
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: team that had just won twenty six games. He knows

619
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: the offense like the back of his hand. Now, maybe

620
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: they were gonna take a step back, but I wasn't

621
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: gonna just be like it's all over after week one

622
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: because they didn't get their asking and Rogers probably one

623
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: of the worst games of his career. But the last

624
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: three weeks. And I said it after the Niner game

625
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: that Rogers got his mojo back. He looks like the

626
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: m v P. Like, Rogers looks like the real deal

627
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: right now. And when you have are you be the

628
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: best player in the league, the reigning m v P.

629
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: One of the greatest players of all time in the

630
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: peak of his power. So watch him against the Stelers,

631
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: like he was like, we we ain't losing this game.

632
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: He didn't feel like, you know, you're gonna need five

633
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: six touchstands out of me. It's just like cruise along.

634
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: I'll throw a couple of touchdowns, all completely control of

635
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: the place. One thing you really noticed, like watching that

636
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: game back, is how they messed the two offenses clearly.

637
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: Rogers and I don't blame him is very comfortable being

638
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: in the shotgun with like four or five wide something

639
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: that he had a lot of success when McCarthy was

640
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: the head coach. Basically like a spread passing game, right,

641
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: just let Aaron Peyton Manning used to do this. Let

642
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: put it all on my shoulders. I'll pick them apart. Well,

643
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: the Shanahan crew, they don't really in that offense, right.

644
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: They put the quarterback under center and they slammed the ball.

645
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: They've messed these two offenses, and really it's a lot

646
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: of errands, but they have the run game concepts with

647
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: the Shanahan family, it looks fantastic. As long as Davante

648
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: Adams stays healthy, this team is for real. They're three

649
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: and one. Their next three games are at Since, which

650
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: is a sneaky harder game. Now Joe Burrow baller Jamar

651
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: Chase looks like he's a stud too, but like the

652
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: Packers are winning that game. Then they get at Chicago.

653
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: Let's face it, they owned the Bears. Uh. Then they

654
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: play Washington, who clearly has some issues. Washington was supposed

655
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: to be like the Bears of defense. They just I

656
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: think the final score of that game was thirty. They

657
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: played the Atlanta Falcons the Atlanta Falcons, so I don't

658
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: think it's out of the round possibility. You'll look up

659
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: and the Packers are gonna be like six, seven and one.

660
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: I think the set. I think the game after Washington

661
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: might be Arizona, so that that game could be hard.

662
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: But the Packers have thirteen and four, fourteen and three

663
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: written all over them. As long as twelves healthy, as

664
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: long as seventeen is healthy, they're just a terror. I

665
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: mean the running back Jones is a good player. Remember,

666
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: they took so much ship in the draft where they

667
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: took uh where they took the quarterback, and in fairness,

668
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: it was crazy. If they could redo that, they would

669
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: not have taken Jordan Love. We all know that they

670
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: would have taken a wide receiver, they would have taken

671
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: a defender. They would not have taken Jordan's Love. And

672
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: we really don't have that much information based on a

673
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,719
Speaker 1: couple of preseason games, even though I think he got

674
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: banged up in the one preseason game. Little information. They

675
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: would know better than any of us on the outside.

676
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that they don't like him. He's

677
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: not a high character guy. It seems like Rogers likes him.

678
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: But that was a bad pick and it led to

679
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: the strife and you know, the animosity from twelve side,

680
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: and there might have been more, but that that was

681
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: a huge part of it. Not debatable. Rogers admitted it.

682
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: If you could redo that. But the other team or

683
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: the other guy they took a lot of ship for

684
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: was they drafted aj Dillon and there was like, why

685
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,959
Speaker 1: are they taking a running back in the second round? Well,

686
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: because they're a run heavy team. And that's how you

687
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: know in theory they want to implement the run because

688
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: that's what the Shanahan guys like to do. And that

689
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: will help Rogers play longer because it'll take the burden

690
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: off his shoulders when he has to carry them. He

691
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: still can, but we don't want to make him do

692
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: that weekend and week out. And you have to think

693
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: as a general manager. And you've seen this a lot

694
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: with Mac Jones. Like Mac Jones the best rookie right

695
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: now for all the quarterbacks. When I draft a quarterback

696
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,280
Speaker 1: in the top ten, like he should have gone three,

697
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: I am not drafting him for week four, year one.

698
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: This is a ten year thing, Like this is this

699
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: guy is the future of my team. Well, when I

700
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: draft players in the second, third, and fourth round, a

701
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 1: lot of times he's like, this is redundant. You already

702
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: have that position. Well, two things I learned when I

703
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: was in the NFL. One, a position of strength can

704
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: become a position of weakness in the blink of an eye.

705
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: Snap your fingers in several snaps. The Eagles offensive line

706
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,479
Speaker 1: week one was easily one of the best offensive lines

707
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: in the league. Do you know what happened? Do you

708
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: know what's happened? Since they're left tackle. The Australian Trent

709
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: Williams sprained his knee in practice. Freak deal. You know,

710
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: he's been out two weeks. They're left guard. I always

711
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,919
Speaker 1: grew up his name. He's the hair guy. He has

712
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: Liz Frank. He's out for the season. Their right guard

713
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 1: Brandon Brooks, who's an all pro level guy who missed

714
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,760
Speaker 1: last year with achilles, also hurt. So starting the season

715
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 1: one of the best offensive lines in the league. Three

716
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 1: weeks later, all these guys are injured. Three of their

717
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: five starters are injured. So you never know when it's

718
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 1: gonna come. And A. J. Dillon you drafted this, you know,

719
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: the big running back. Well, you're like, we have Jabal Williams.

720
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: Well he's a free agent the following year, and what happened?

721
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: They let him walk? So what did they do? They

722
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: resigned Jones, they got their second round running back. I'm

723
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: watching him against uh the Steelers, like, this guy looks

724
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 1: pretty good. You know. I remember I had friends in

725
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,959
Speaker 1: the league when I was texting about that player because

726
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,760
Speaker 1: I don't watch Boston College, like I like that guy.

727
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: So you always have to think like coaches get very

728
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: short uh short term minded. Right, we're thinking about every

729
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,760
Speaker 1: coach in the league right now Monday is thinking about

730
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: their opponent on Sunday. We're general managers. Maybe they're watching

731
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: some college guys. Maybe they're dealing with their cap guy,

732
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,760
Speaker 1: thinking about the next couple of years. You have to balance,

733
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 1: you have to think big picture. And I think Goodkins

734
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: does a good job. And it was my beef with

735
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,760
Speaker 1: like Rogers, Like Bro, you are not playing for the Jags.

736
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: You are not playing for the Texans. You were playing

737
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: for a team that is consistently reloaded. Now are they perfect?

738
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: Do they spend enough money in free agency? Of course not?

739
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: Look at Brady? Do you think Brady time and time again?

740
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: Wish Belichick would have been more aggressive? Of course he did.

741
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: But it can't be argued that Belichick's philosophy worked consistently,

742
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 1: especially the second half of the decade from like two

743
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: thousand eleven until Brady left. It worked. Wasn't perfect. No,

744
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: are you gonna win the Super Bowl? Every year? Of

745
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: course not. Did they have more success and everyone else

746
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 1: and probably more than anyone else will ever have again,

747
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: unless you're like the chiefs of homes and you just

748
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: maintain this. Yes, so the Packers I thought they I

749
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: mean they're coming. I mean they're coming. And because they

750
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: got a quarterback who is just in the peak of

751
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 1: his powers like Tom. You just watch these guys. The

752
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: game has never been easier for them. They have a

753
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: ton of talent around him, They're smarter than every guy

754
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: when they enter the enter the field. They just have

755
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: more experience to go off. And we talked about it

756
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: a lot. The big thing with the rookie quarterbacks right

757
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: was learned by doing the more reps you have, the

758
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: more experience you have to go off of whatever you're

759
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: doing for a job. Listening to this podcast, you have

760
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: got if you've done it for five years, you are

761
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: probably way better now in year four or five then

762
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: you were year one or the first six months on

763
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: the job. It's human nature. Well, imagine Rogers now has

764
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 1: been the league since sixteen years, Brad has been the league. Two.

765
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 1: Think how much experience they have upstairs and physically they

766
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 1: both still look like they did their peak so the

767
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: game and with Rogers, Davante is the best wide receiver

768
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: he's ever played with. And when you think about the

769
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 1: running backs he played with, you know, James Stark's uh,

770
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: who are his great running backs? For all those years

771
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: in Green Bay, You'd say Jones is the best guy

772
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: he's played with. It looks like Dylan has a chance

773
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: to be really good too. Jamal Williams was really good,

774
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: so he's had really good running backs to the last

775
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: two or three years. I just think the Packers like

776
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:33,439
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Man, it's the NFC. These teams are gonna

777
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: be in the mix right till right till the dust

778
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: settles in the playoffs. Okay, Well, I think I owe

779
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 1: an apology, and I'm not too big of a man.

780
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: I don't get paid to be right or wrong, paid

781
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: to entertain. And if I say it, I believe it. Now.

782
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: That does not mean I'm always right, and as many

783
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,720
Speaker 1: of you know, I'm wrong sometimes. But I give my opinion.

784
00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: It's an honest opinion based on what I know about football,

785
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,280
Speaker 1: about what I watch. You know football that I watch

786
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: football philosophies, and you know I stand by them. Now.

787
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: I am open to change, and I am open minded

788
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: enough to know that the sport always evolves, and I

789
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: can't live in the past. And I think football, like society,

790
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: it's never changed. At faster speeds because of technology. How

791
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 1: easy it is to steal a place from high school

792
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 1: college has never been easier. So I am I am

793
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: not stuck in my ways when I see an avalanche

794
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:37,240
Speaker 1: of whatever come in my way. And watching the Rams

795
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 1: Cardinals game, I watched it Monday on the treadmill, and

796
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: I gotta say I came away. I followed it pretty closely.

797
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 1: It was on the same time as the Niner Seattle game.

798
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 1: I didn't even have it. I don't have direct TV,

799
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 1: so basically what I do on Sundays is I watch

800
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: all the national games that I get, so like Sunday

801
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: morning was Eagles Chiefs locked into that have a second

802
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: TV have on red Zone. When you watch red Zone

803
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: and you don't get to watch a game like the

804
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 1: you know, the Minnesota Browns game. I barely saw any that.

805
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: I mean, the score was like seven to eleven the

806
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,359
Speaker 1: majority of it. They weren't in the red zone very often,

807
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: so I don't you have to go back and watch

808
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: the game to have a true opinion on it. So

809
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: I had to watch though I knew that like the

810
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,879
Speaker 1: score dictated that Cliff kicked Sean mcveigh's ass. And then

811
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 1: I went back and watched it today when I went

812
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: to the gym, get a good sweat on throw the iPad,

813
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 1: got a left technology and I was blown away. They

814
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: throttled them. So I tipped my hat to Cliff Kingsbury,

815
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,720
Speaker 1: who I I said in a in a Twitter video

816
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 1: for the volume was gonna get worked, I said last

817
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: week was gonna get worked. I thought the Rams would

818
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: physically man handle them and to meet because I bet

819
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 1: against that scheme. I bet against the soft scheme. Cliff Kingsby.

820
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: I saw with Chip Kelly on Saturday night the Arizona

821
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: State UH Sun Devils with her Edwards that they have

822
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,399
Speaker 1: some flaws, but one thing they are not flawed with

823
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: is physical talent upfront on defense and the absolutely throttled

824
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:08,760
Speaker 1: Chips scheme. And I was expecting that from the Rams

825
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: against Arizona. And if you look at the Cliff had

826
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: never beat oh and four against the Rams coming into

827
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: that game. His record in the division coming into that

828
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: game was three and nine. Like my opinion was based

829
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: on fact. He had never won a big game in

830
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 1: his life. People think it's like personal, No, Like I

831
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: I would want to be friends with the guy. Be

832
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 1: an incredible wing man. See how good looking he is.

833
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: Dad's a former Navy seal. Good guy. I just fundamentally

834
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 1: philosophically look at the sport of football differently when it

835
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: comes to offense. But I will not dispute right now.

836
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: His quarterback is playing fantastic. Kyler Murray is on a

837
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 1: war path right now of kicking ass and taking names. A. J.

838
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 1: Green probably gotta take the l there too. I thought

839
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 1: he was washed. He looks really good. Hopkins Kirk like

840
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: they got a bunch of weapons on offense. They play

841
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 1: really fast and it starts with the quarterback. But the

842
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: difference in that game was defensively. The Rams defense kind

843
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: of laid over in the Car's defense. Vance Joseph, another

844
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: guy I've been critical over the years, uh that I

845
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: don't think it's a great defensive coordinator, took it to McVeigh.

846
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: They were hitting that. I mean physically, the Rams matched

847
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: the NFC West level of physicality that typically they can't

848
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: Seattle San Francisco and the Rams they like getting in

849
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 1: the ring in a heavyweight fight. They like getting in

850
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,800
Speaker 1: the ring like Chuck Lydale, Like my guy Chad Mendez

851
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: from cal Pauly who got in the ring with Connor,

852
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 1: who got in the ring with Although they liked that ship,

853
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: they these games. They like being physical, even when quote

854
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 1: unquote Seattle Right has been a little lucy goosey on defense.

855
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: They yearned for a guy like Jamal Adams, who's a

856
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: flawed player, but he will crush you. Like that's what

857
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 1: those teams like. And I looked at the Arizona I'm like,

858
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 1: I don't see that they brought it. They they were.

859
00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: They were wiping dudes out. Cooper Cup hit on a

860
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,720
Speaker 1: ball across the middle, fantastic catch. It was like, damn,

861
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: he got blasted. So I tipped my hat to the

862
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: Arizona came to play. I thought, you know they're three

863
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 1: and oh you go three and one in a in

864
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: a in a month. You're in great shape. You know

865
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: you're playing at the Rams. No one's expecting you to win.

866
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: You're not that the team's care that much. You know,

867
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: at five point underdog whatever, even though you're both undefeated,

868
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: the Rams coming off a big win in Tampa. I

869
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 1: didn't think it would be close. And it wasn't close.

870
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: Arizona Molly whopped him, absolutely destroyed. At one point it

871
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: was thirteen. I remember, I'm going away like you know

872
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 1: on my nine point a little sprints a little thirty

873
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 1: second intervals and I'm thinking to myself, this score does

874
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: not indicate this game is not that close. And then

875
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: they ended up getting you know, in the second half

876
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: of stuff on a on a goal line stand, Arizona

877
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 1: takes you right down and scores, and the blowout was on.

878
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: You know, once we got to like midway through the

879
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, it was like they kick their ass and

880
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: the one red flag I'd have and listen. I'm a

881
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford guy. I think Matt Stafford is a big

882
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: time player. And they got down so they had to

883
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: let a rip down the field. But he will, you know,

884
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 1: he's got some of the and I'm not compared. He's

885
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: not as good as this guy. But some far van

886
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: throw it into some places like what the hell are

887
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: you doing? Now? I still believe that Kyler Murray. Now

888
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: he's hard to catch. Right now, he is operating at

889
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:26,399
Speaker 1: warp speed, completely different speed than everyone else chasing him.

890
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: It is it's fun to watch. If you just like

891
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: fun on the football field, watch Kyler and watch Arizona

892
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 1: and those receivers they're making place. They got speed everywhere.

893
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: It's like Jesus, this team's fast. If he gets tossed

894
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: to the ground, now he's fantastic at it. When I

895
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 1: was with the Eagles, Michael Vick's big problem was he

896
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 1: couldn't avoid hits. He didn't know how to slide. He

897
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 1: just wasn't smart with his body. And like Mike, no

898
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: one questions your toughness. You are one of the toughest

899
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 1: dudes in the league. But when you take these hits

900
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: from defenders, I don't care how big or small they are,

901
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 1: You're gonna even really get hurt. He'd crack ribs and

902
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: get these deep thie bruises and it would slow him down. Kyler,

903
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: this is where it's like, well, maybe he is on

904
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: a little different level than something even Lamar. He avoids

905
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: way more hits than those guys. He's got this cool

906
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 1: little baseball slide he gets out of bounds. He's really

907
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: smart with his body. I mean, I am I am

908
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: not some Kyler Murray. Uh you know, anti Kyler Murray.

909
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: I guess like I am not one of those guys

910
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 1: to think like people are gonna catch up to him.

911
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: If he can avoid the hits, which last year he

912
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 1: got slammed on the ground and threw him off. Eventually

913
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,760
Speaker 1: someone's gonna get him. And that's what concerns me because

914
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: if he's rolling like this, they are a terror because

915
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 1: they operated at a speed that you can't like. In

916
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 1: fairness to the Rams, Like thinking about it, after I

917
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 1: watched that game, I just went, well, they throttled Brady

918
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,240
Speaker 1: last week. You don't have to worry about chasing Brady around.

919
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 1: Even he saw in the Senate night game, like he

920
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: takes off kind of he runs like me or you,

921
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: but Kyler all of a sudden, it's like, you know,

922
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go left, and then said he's all of

923
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: a sudden, he covers twenty yards in the blink of

924
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,840
Speaker 1: an eye. You're like, holy shit, this guy's moving and

925
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:10,240
Speaker 1: he and Kyler he's kind of got this Deshaun Watson

926
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,320
Speaker 1: to him well, even when he's scrambling now, he's way faster.

927
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 1: One thing, DeShawn Watson, if he ever plays football ever again,

928
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: uh is fantastic at when he scrambles around behind the

929
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. His eyes are always up so he's

930
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: always ready to throw. Kyler can do both right because

931
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 1: he can take off and he's so fast, but he's

932
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: his eyes are kind of always up and he's always

933
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: willing to just throw a baby or a dart for

934
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 1: a completion. So Cliff, oh, you an apology. That was

935
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,760
Speaker 1: a big time win, first of your career, but hey,

936
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: everyone gets the first sometimes you know, seven eight years

937
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: into your career. But you know you were in Texas Tech.

938
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 1: So I can't totally hold it against him. Lose No Oklahoma,

939
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: lose the Texas, losing all those teams. But since he's

940
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 1: been in the NFL for two years, especially last year,

941
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 1: right they were in position to make the playoffs and

942
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,799
Speaker 1: he got beat when it really mattered. And now he's

943
00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:59,879
Speaker 1: kind of like last year, he can stack a bunch

944
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 1: of wins. Give yourself a little wiggle room late in

945
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: the season because you get to They play the forty

946
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 1: Niners this week, who Trey Lance surely gonna start like

947
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 1: the cards are gonna be probably a seven point favorite.

948
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 1: Now he is one in three against the Niners in

949
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,800
Speaker 1: his career. So and last year, the Niners with a

950
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 1: with a beaten up ragtag group. They had been kicked

951
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 1: out of the of Santa Clara County because of the

952
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,359
Speaker 1: California elites and the coronavirus. They said, get the funk

953
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 1: out of here, We're not allowing you to play, and

954
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: they still took him down. So you know, this is

955
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 1: a game that you would think Arizona, Kyler and Cliff

956
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:40,880
Speaker 1: definitely are gonna get up for even at four and

957
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 1: oh and with the Niners leaking oil. But it's yeah,

958
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 1: I was I was wrong, So I'm gonna take the

959
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: l on this one. Okay. Just a couple other rapid

960
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 1: fire things that I saw this weekend. Uh, it was

961
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 1: against the Lions, and the Lions are probably I mean,

962
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna compete to have the number one overall draft pick.

963
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 1: The problem is gonna be for them, there's probably not

964
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:07,319
Speaker 1: a quarterback in this class. I think that's part of

965
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 1: why they got Jared Goff. Just listen, what we'll pay

966
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 1: the guy sixty seventy million dollars for a couple of years.

967
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: He's just gonna get us through. We're gonna lose a

968
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 1: lot of games. We'll just keep building this thing up

969
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:22,879
Speaker 1: because they might have the number one overall pick, and

970
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,799
Speaker 1: there is not a quarterback worthy of the number one

971
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 1: pick that I've seen. Honestly, it's not even close, but

972
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: justin Fields bounced back made some big plays. I mean

973
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 1: they were popping up way more than they usually do

974
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 1: on the red zone channel, pushing the ball down the field.

975
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: Obviously they ran the ball really well. But again, the

976
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: Lions are not good. I mean, the Lions made the

977
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 1: Niners offense look like the Oh seven Pats. So I'm

978
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 1: not trying to diminish. It's a wins and win. This

979
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 1: is the NFL. There are no style points. You just

980
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: gotta get in. You gotta get out with more points

981
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 1: on the board than the other team. You know, it

982
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 1: was probably a little closer than they would have liked,

983
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 1: but anytime you get some confidence for a player. He

984
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: made a deep row down the field, he made another

985
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 1: deep throw and like a deep out from across the hash.

986
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 1: He just made a couple of throws that went. That

987
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 1: is a big time talent. Now I'm recording this part

988
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:14,760
Speaker 1: before the Monday night game. But regardless of what happens

989
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 1: to the Raiders, they're playing the Raiders next week. And

990
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:19,720
Speaker 1: just a couple of years ago, they played the Raiders

991
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,839
Speaker 1: in London. Chase Daniel had to start and they got

992
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: their ass kicked. So it's a good test for Justin Fields,

993
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 1: the Raiders defense has been a lot better. You gotta

994
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: score points because the Raiders can score. Um, it'll be

995
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: uh you know, just see one thing you want to

996
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 1: see with these younger quarterbacks, like can you stack on

997
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: the games? So can you be better than you were

998
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:43,360
Speaker 1: last week? You know there's gonna be ups and downs.

999
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 1: You're not gonna be perfect, but can you improve week

1000
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:49,720
Speaker 1: to week? And as anyone knows, I'm a big Justin

1001
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 1: Fields guy, Vic Fangio who watched a little bit of

1002
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: that game this morning. The Ravens once they hit that

1003
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 1: big play to Mark's Brown, they were just you know,

1004
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:01,280
Speaker 1: the Broncos were not gonna be able to score with them.

1005
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 1: And in fairness to them, Jerry Judy, who's a top

1006
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 1: fifteen pick, is you know, has a not a broken ankle,

1007
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:10,240
Speaker 1: but a high ankle sprain. kJ Hamdler their speed demon

1008
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: towards a c L last year. I mean, they're down

1009
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 1: two of their best receivers. So not that like I

1010
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 1: would have been on the Ravens this week, but they

1011
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 1: got choved around and then Fangio's madd at Harrbob because

1012
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:23,399
Speaker 1: he ran the ball late in the game. Even though

1013
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:26,479
Speaker 1: it's a little weird because Fangio is a gym hardball guy.

1014
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 1: Maybe he just doesn't like John, maybe just heat of

1015
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 1: the battle. Maybe Vic's just an old crewmudgeon. You know.

1016
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 1: I never have a huge problem with teams running plays.

1017
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: You know, in baseball sometimes it's like you're not allowed

1018
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 1: to steal when you're up seven runs, Like this is

1019
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: pro sports, this ain't little league. We ain't teaching life lessons,

1020
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 1: like if you don't want him to steal, if you

1021
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 1: don't want him to shoot a three down forty, like,

1022
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 1: don't be down forty, don't be down ten runs. Don't

1023
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 1: be getting worked by Lamar Jackson. You know, that's that's

1024
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,840
Speaker 1: a you problem, not them problem. I understand it, and

1025
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 1: school sports. I understand it in use sports, But to

1026
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 1: me at the Power five level and college basketball and

1027
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 1: football in the National Football League and Major League Baseball

1028
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 1: in the NBA, I have zero tolerance for that. There's

1029
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 1: a bottom line business. We're trying to kick everyone's ass.

1030
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 1: We get paid to win, and so it's like I

1031
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 1: I don't have I I can't support Vic fanjioe here,

1032
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:25,720
Speaker 1: even though I like Vic Fianjio. Speaking of the hard balls,

1033
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh. You know, it was pretty ugly this offseason.

1034
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 1: He had to take a pay cut, a pay cut. Now, Uh,

1035
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,320
Speaker 1: they're kind of getting their swag back. Now. Wisconsin is

1036
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 1: not very good, but they kicked there. But Hardball has

1037
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 1: a team that is perfect for the way he wants

1038
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:49,240
Speaker 1: to play. He has two sweet running backs. They slam

1039
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 1: the ball down people's throat because they have to legit.

1040
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:56,239
Speaker 1: Probably second round level running backs. Quarterback not great, but

1041
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to do that much. And really, when

1042
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 1: you look at the conference now, Ohio is eights, I

1043
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 1: think kind of getting their mojo back. They have so

1044
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 1: much offensive firepower. Iowa plays a lot like Jim Harbaugh. Uh.

1045
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 1: I think Iowa plays Penn State this week. But I

1046
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 1: think Jim is, you know, poise for a tenant two,

1047
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: eleven and one type season. I still don't think they

1048
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 1: have enough firepower to beat Ohio State, but you never know,

1049
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 1: Like it's you think eventually they're gonna clip them. But

1050
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,279
Speaker 1: it's good to see Jim, a guy whose career I

1051
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 1: followed very closely for the last decade plus, just not

1052
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 1: be a laughing sock anymore and do it the way

1053
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: he wants to do it. He kind of like he's

1054
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:36,280
Speaker 1: meshed the spread with the run game. Uh. You gotta

1055
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 1: give the Giants and the Jets the biggest media market

1056
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 1: in America. The Giants are one of the most lucrative

1057
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 1: franchises in the league. The Jets kind of get talk

1058
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 1: like that even though they're not. But both of them

1059
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:51,879
Speaker 1: been pretty embarrassing this year. Going into yesterday, they were

1060
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:56,280
Speaker 1: oh and six. The Giants planned the Saints, the Jets

1061
00:52:56,320 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 1: playing the Titans to playoff. You know, the Titans probably

1062
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs because their division snakes. Saints. We'll see,

1063
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 1: but they won. Both teams won in overtime. So the

1064
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:10,760
Speaker 1: Jets and the Giants finally gotta win on the board. Uh,

1065
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 1: Joe Judge, he doesn't have to make his coaches run

1066
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 1: this week. You got Robert Sala just big time positive mojo,

1067
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: always propping guys up. Its quarterback has kind of been

1068
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 1: a laughing stock. Zach Wilson made up I mean, one

1069
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:26,800
Speaker 1: of the best places the day yesterday. No one disputes

1070
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,279
Speaker 1: his talent, his arm talent, his ability to push the

1071
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 1: ball down the field. My question with the Jets, like,

1072
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 1: I just don't see that much talent, but to just

1073
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 1: have a game where you keep fighting, playing a team

1074
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 1: you know that's just expected to probably win ten games.

1075
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 1: Now they were missing a j Brown, they were missing

1076
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, but ship, you don't. The Jets are missing

1077
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 1: a ton of players. So to get that win in overtime,

1078
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:51,400
Speaker 1: both those two teams, uh, seeing Sa Kwan Barkley celebrate,

1079
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 1: seeing the Jets celebrate, like winning's fun, you know, the

1080
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 1: whole point of this sport for the for all the

1081
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 1: stats and how many yards you add, what you're scoring defense,

1082
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 1: none of that ship matters. When you don't win the game,

1083
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:06,919
Speaker 1: you're like, well, we're doing this well, we're doing this well.

1084
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 1: The point of the sport why the players get all

1085
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:12,439
Speaker 1: this money, why coaches now get all this money, why

1086
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: the like, you gotta win games. So anytime you start,

1087
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,840
Speaker 1: you know, start snowballing on, you go, are the just

1088
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: gonna start like oh and ten? You know, like last year?

1089
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:23,880
Speaker 1: Are the Giants just gonna be a to win team?

1090
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 1: And still both those two teams, you know, if I

1091
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 1: put the over under unwins for both would probably be

1092
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 1: around three and a half, you know, three and fourteen,

1093
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 1: four and thirteen kind of feels right. But you know,

1094
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 1: it's you get a win early October, maybe you get

1095
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:42,960
Speaker 1: a couple more wins, you know, before December starts. You go,

1096
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 1: you know, maybe get five or six best case scenario

1097
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,319
Speaker 1: and you build on it. Uh. The thing is the

1098
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 1: Giants are gonna need a quarterback. The Jets obviously don't.

1099
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:57,720
Speaker 1: But the Jets and the Giants aren't winless any longer. Okay,

1100
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 1: let's do uh Middleclff mailbag. John Middlecoff is the Instagram

1101
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 1: that is now no longer down. Had to wait a

1102
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:07,840
Speaker 1: little bit because I didn't know. If Zuckerberg was just

1103
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 1: gonna mail it in and Instagram was gonna go down forever,

1104
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:13,800
Speaker 1: I would have been really sad. I'm I'm a sucker

1105
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 1: for Instagram, partly because I like interacting with you guys.

1106
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 1: Like scrolling, I got, I got. I enjoy a good scroll.

1107
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 1: You know, way too many times a day keeps me entertained.

1108
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 1: Let's start with a throwing faces. Hey, John found you

1109
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:29,880
Speaker 1: on Twitter a couple of years ago, back during the

1110
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 1: Warriors Calves final. Good times, Warriors kicked their ass. I

1111
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 1: know Kyle's the top play calling the league, but he's

1112
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:38,439
Speaker 1: a bit overrated as a head coach. Seems like every

1113
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:42,320
Speaker 1: year they were underperforming beside the Super Bowl year. Uh,

1114
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 1: and the media seemed to annoin him as the next Belichick.

1115
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:46,440
Speaker 1: That was a coward take, even though I, you know,

1116
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 1: I thought it had some possibilities. Uh, he got time

1117
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:52,360
Speaker 1: with Lance Pick. But if it doesn't make the playoffs

1118
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 1: this year, is he on the hot seat for two

1119
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 1: thousand two? I would say no for twenty two because

1120
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 1: he just signed a six year contract after the Super

1121
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: Bowl year, So he's in year two of six, Like

1122
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:10,319
Speaker 1: he's just not going anywhere. Who who else would they hire?

1123
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 1: But he hasn't been good. He's had a rough year.

1124
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,359
Speaker 1: You know, he has had a rough year. And Tray

1125
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,799
Speaker 1: Lance I actually just watched back. The second half of

1126
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:23,759
Speaker 1: that game was terrible. Now, like justin fields last week,

1127
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 1: actually even different because this guy didn't know he was

1128
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 1: gonna start. Comes in at halftime. It looked bad. He

1129
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 1: wasn't seeing the field, he was inaccurate, he had a

1130
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:34,839
Speaker 1: loopy release, he scrambled a little bit, and a couple

1131
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:36,759
Speaker 1: of his plays one was a busted coverage and the

1132
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 1: other he hit used check a couple of times. They

1133
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:42,400
Speaker 1: were like scheme plays. So it's a little concerning, but

1134
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a deep breath. I'm gonna give it

1135
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:45,880
Speaker 1: a week because I like Trey Lance when I saw

1136
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:48,440
Speaker 1: him in practice, but practice a different animal than the

1137
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 1: regular season game plans. Jamal Adams chasing your ass, Guy's

1138
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 1: not open. This is this is the big leagues. Uh.

1139
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:59,760
Speaker 1: His talent is immense, but he had the loopy release.

1140
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 1: Made me a little nervous just watching that. I know

1141
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 1: you've covered a little bit on October three. I haven't

1142
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 1: heard today's yet. I think Arizona needs some love for

1143
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 1: how I did give him love. I'm also pleasantly happy

1144
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 1: with mac Jones. I know he's up and down, but

1145
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: as a rookie, he's showing progress. And if if you

1146
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 1: can hit the draft offense, which is a lot to ask,

1147
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:23,680
Speaker 1: if they can hit the draft on offense, they'll be

1148
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 1: a contender. Mac Jones is solid and I've seen a

1149
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 1: lot of this. Like the Patriots, they got the best

1150
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 1: quarterback in the draft. No one ever argued that Mac

1151
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 1: Jones was the most beside Trevor Lawrence. The Obviously, the

1152
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: Patriots would trade back Jones for Trevor Lawrence like they

1153
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 1: would do that yesterday, but no one including myself, was

1154
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 1: arguing Mac Jones wasn't ready made for two Tho, you

1155
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: don't draft a guy in the top fifteen. I mean

1156
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 1: they draft from fifteen, but the guys that went to

1157
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 1: three and eleven, four week four, you draft him for

1158
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 1: the next decade. That's the point. You draft him for

1159
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 1: the next decade. And there's a lot of pressure on

1160
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 1: these coaches to these guys up to develop them. There's

1161
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 1: pressure internally on those own guys. Like part of why

1162
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 1: Brady and Manning and Drew Brees were had such great careers.

1163
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:13,960
Speaker 1: Obviously had great coaching. They were so driven, they worked

1164
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 1: so hard on their craft. They no balance, you know,

1165
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 1: obviously they have a little family time, but other than that,

1166
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 1: it's it's football, football, football, football three. If you're not

1167
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 1: gonna do that, you're not gonna be a great player, period,

1168
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 1: point blank. End of story. So Zach Wilson, Trey Lance,

1169
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: Justin Fields, Mac is already like that. He doesn't have

1170
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 1: those guys physical attributes those guys. What Mac clearly has

1171
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 1: is study habits, Like Mac max is out on all

1172
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 1: that ship. From what I've heard around people at Alabama,

1173
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm not saying these guys don't but I've I've confident

1174
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 1: Mac will be like that moving forward with Patriots and

1175
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:53,920
Speaker 1: Belichick and Josh Mdaniels, Well, Zack Wilson, Trey Lance and

1176
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 1: Justin Fields and Trevor Lawrence attack football in in April

1177
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 1: like it's October. You gotta be sick. I I don't

1178
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 1: I try to articulate this. I don't think people truly

1179
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:11,320
Speaker 1: understand that. Definitely, any coaches listening to this, you guys

1180
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:14,760
Speaker 1: get it. How crazy coaches are and how crazy the

1181
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 1: top players at quarterback are. It's maniacal. It's addiction. Like

1182
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:21,880
Speaker 1: when you hear Elon Musk how much he loves work

1183
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 1: like it's that level. These guys are freak shows. I

1184
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 1: have never loved something in my life as much when

1185
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 1: I worked for Pat Hill and I worked for Andy

1186
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:34,480
Speaker 1: Reid as much as those guys love football. My parents

1187
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 1: beside my parents and my my immediate family. But it's

1188
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 1: not just I love it, it's it's it encompasses your life.

1189
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 1: You have to just be Again, I am not doing

1190
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 1: justice articulating what an addict you have to be with

1191
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 1: football to be great that there's no way around it.

1192
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 1: We all make fun of Gruden like Gruden ain't alone.

1193
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 1: Gruden's like most high level coach in the league. They working.

1194
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:05,920
Speaker 1: They aren't just screwing around in March, you know, or July.

1195
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 1: I guess July they vacation. But other than that, like

1196
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 1: these guys in the Brady all the top quarterbacks, Rogers

1197
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 1: to get that good Like how much time he said

1198
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 1: it last week, Like how romantic, how much he loves football.

1199
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 1: You gotta be an addict, man, You gotta be an addict.

1200
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 1: So I'm better off in this profession because I never

1201
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 1: truly I liked football, and clearly I've made a profession

1202
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 1: about talking about it, but I didn't love it enough

1203
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 1: to just be in at three started. It bores me

1204
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 1: at times. It never bores Brady, It never bores Andy Reid,

1205
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:42,919
Speaker 1: It never bores Sabing or Belichick ever Russell Wilson zero

1206
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 1: boredom everyone listening, unless you're a coach or playing the

1207
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:49,080
Speaker 1: league or did play in the league. It bores you.

1208
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 1: I promise she just were Most of us are humans,

1209
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 1: so a long way to go. Would it be dignified

1210
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:01,280
Speaker 1: for the Big Bend to retire mid season? Can you

1211
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 1: recall a quarterback of his status doing that? The team

1212
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:06,439
Speaker 1: as a whole isn't very good, but it's evident he's

1213
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:10,600
Speaker 1: playing afraid behind a pathetic offensive line. His fail from

1214
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 1: prominence seems epic. See I don't know. I mean he

1215
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 1: once he tore his arm and he had the Tommy John.

1216
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:20,280
Speaker 1: I kind of wrote him off to me once that happened.

1217
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 1: I don't think it's an epic fall from grace. He

1218
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 1: was really good and then he had a devastating injury

1219
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 1: on top of him getting old, and it's just over

1220
01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 1: like this this normal sports Would he retire mid season?

1221
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:36,440
Speaker 1: Doesn't he make like thirty million dollars? So if you,

1222
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 1: if you retire mid season, like you don't get the

1223
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:41,440
Speaker 1: other fifteen million dollars. Like if I'm him and I'm

1224
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 1: already in this deep and we're already up paddle with

1225
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:47,040
Speaker 1: you know, already up the stream without a paddle, and

1226
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:50,920
Speaker 1: it's not looking pretty, I stumbled upon, I think, on Amazon, Primer, Netflix,

1227
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:57,000
Speaker 1: this documentary of these dudes that whitewater raft insane, I

1228
01:01:57,040 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 1: mean on kayaks in the white waters. One of them

1229
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 1: did in Africa. It's one thing to do it in

1230
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 1: like Colorado or you know some of these places where

1231
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 1: there aren't I don't know Hippo's alligators and Anaconda's. It

1232
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:13,960
Speaker 1: was the craziest thing I've ever seen. I can't I mean,

1233
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:17,000
Speaker 1: I can't even fathom. There is no amount of money

1234
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 1: what whitewater rafting doesn't do much for me, but to

1235
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 1: whitewater raft in like Nigeria, with what is in that water?

1236
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 1: If you're like, hey, John, a hundred million dollars, I'm like,

1237
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 1: well would if the alligator grabs my arm and I

1238
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:35,680
Speaker 1: don't know, eats me. So I don't know how I

1239
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:39,960
Speaker 1: got off on topic, but I would not the money

1240
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 1: factor for big then I think I just wanted to

1241
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:46,120
Speaker 1: talk about that show. I I got this argument with

1242
01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:49,240
Speaker 1: this guy on Twitter yesterday. I tweeted out after the game,

1243
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:52,360
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan's having a bad season. You can be a

1244
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 1: good head coach. I think Kyle Shanahan is a dynamic

1245
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:57,520
Speaker 1: head coach. I've been around him, I've seen his team

1246
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:00,040
Speaker 1: practice for years. I've seen the culture of guy. I

1247
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 1: am impressed with Kyle Shanahan and I can say he's

1248
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:08,000
Speaker 1: having a rough three week stretch like I'm sorry. When

1249
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:10,160
Speaker 1: you're the head coach and a guy fumbles the ball

1250
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 1: at the goal line, like that's a reflection of you.

1251
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:16,080
Speaker 1: That guy is still on the team today, like Belichick

1252
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 1: and his prime cuts that guy, like, how does that

1253
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 1: reflect George Kittle, who's playing like Nick Bosa, who's laying

1254
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 1: it all on the line, Trent Williams, whose shoulders hanging

1255
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 1: off one arm trying to block for people like Deebo

1256
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:33,280
Speaker 1: Samuel playing his ass off like I'm sorry. It's a

1257
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:36,800
Speaker 1: cutthrow business. Sometimes when you funk up and you're a nobody,

1258
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:39,240
Speaker 1: I cut you to set the tone for the locker room,

1259
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 1: not because I think guys aren't trying, but just this

1260
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:46,400
Speaker 1: will not be tolerated. This will not be tolerated. It

1261
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:48,200
Speaker 1: happens all the time in the private sector. Like you

1262
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:50,920
Speaker 1: don't hit a quota, you don't have a job. You

1263
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:53,800
Speaker 1: either get the job done there you don't. Now, obviously

1264
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:57,600
Speaker 1: there's more leeway for better players, right if you're Jamal Adams,

1265
01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 1: if you're George Kittle, if you're DeAndre Hopkins, you screw

1266
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 1: up and it's not that big a deal. But when

1267
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 1: you're the last guy in the roster and special teams only,

1268
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:08,520
Speaker 1: and you muff a kickoff, then pick it up and

1269
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:11,920
Speaker 1: then fumble it like I'm after you already screwed up

1270
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 1: rolling into the end zone on a punt that should

1271
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:16,640
Speaker 1: have been down at the one, Like you might be

1272
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 1: a great guy, it's no reflection of you as a human.

1273
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:22,480
Speaker 1: We judge you on Sundays like if I was the

1274
01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 1: GM and John Lynch, I know he's on charge, like

1275
01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 1: we're releasing the guy. We're cutting the guy to just

1276
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:30,960
Speaker 1: show the locker room, like losing is not going to

1277
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 1: be accepted. And I think sometimes teams like you're not

1278
01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:38,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, like you haven't gone to the playoffs every year,

1279
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 1: like you guys have been in the playoffs one time.

1280
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:43,960
Speaker 1: And I know Kyle's very player friendly and luckily a

1281
01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 1: lot of his guys like I don't need to worry

1282
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:48,680
Speaker 1: about Fred warrener Bosa, Trent Williams, Kiddle like Debo, those

1283
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:51,080
Speaker 1: guys handle their ship on their own. But a lot

1284
01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 1: of guys in the league like you kind of do.

1285
01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:57,400
Speaker 1: And I just like I'm into, you know, drawing a

1286
01:04:57,440 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 1: line in the sand when someone screws up and he's

1287
01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 1: a noble buddy, like, let's we can turn the end

1288
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:06,640
Speaker 1: of the roster when we're not winning. What college coaches

1289
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 1: are on the NFL radar. Matt Campbell, who I think

1290
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:14,040
Speaker 1: is he's already got two losses this year. Brian Kelly,

1291
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 1: who just lost to Cincinnati that game. Since Nati's good,

1292
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 1: Like I watched a decent amount of that game. Since that,

1293
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:22,760
Speaker 1: he's a good team. They're really good, they were faster.

1294
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:26,680
Speaker 1: They're just better than Notre Dame. Um. I haven't thought

1295
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 1: much about it. I think Lincoln Riley still probably number

1296
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:31,800
Speaker 1: one on everyone's list. You know, Brian Kelly's like sixty

1297
01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 1: years old. Hell, he might even be older than that.

1298
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 1: Let me look up how old Brian Kelly is. If

1299
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:41,880
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly is like sixty two, like, I'm not hiring

1300
01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:46,240
Speaker 1: he's fifty nine. He's a really good college coach. I'm

1301
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:49,240
Speaker 1: not hiring a sixty year old guy who's never coached

1302
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:52,360
Speaker 1: in the NFL to coach my NFL team, Like this

1303
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 1: is one thing to hire Bill Walsh at sixty, he'd

1304
01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 1: been in the NFL, Like, I'm not hiring a guy

1305
01:05:57,120 --> 01:06:02,040
Speaker 1: who's been in college for three four deck kids, I'd

1306
01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:04,680
Speaker 1: have to think about that. I think Ryan Day will

1307
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:08,040
Speaker 1: stay on people's radars. Ryan Day Lincoln Riley would probably

1308
01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 1: be the two guys that I would think of great

1309
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:15,560
Speaker 1: seeing a local guy. I'm from Sacramento, thriving in the business.

1310
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:18,959
Speaker 1: Probably be strong. We're doing We're doing well. She'll trying

1311
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:22,840
Speaker 1: to grow. You know. We got high standards here. Um

1312
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 1: to me like rogans driving, cowards driving, you know, middle coffee.

1313
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:30,320
Speaker 1: He's just he's plugging along. As I sit here, I

1314
01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 1: just went through a person. That's bad. I shouldn't do that.

1315
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:36,200
Speaker 1: As I sit here watching Seattle once again dismantle the Niners,

1316
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:39,560
Speaker 1: I can't help but wonder about Kyle Shanahan. It seems

1317
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:42,760
Speaker 1: as though he's anointed to buy local and national media

1318
01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:45,120
Speaker 1: as one of the brilliant coaches. I too have bought

1319
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:47,920
Speaker 1: that narrative. He appears to make bad choices at critical

1320
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 1: points in the game, predictable play calling, bad clock management.

1321
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:54,000
Speaker 1: It could be argued that he blew two Super Bowls.

1322
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:56,840
Speaker 1: See he was not the head coach, like I'm sorry,

1323
01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:59,439
Speaker 1: Dan quinnas tell him run the fucking ball, like I

1324
01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:01,840
Speaker 1: I think gets pinned on the Atlanta Falcons, Like he's

1325
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:04,120
Speaker 1: out the head coach. His goal is to score points

1326
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 1: until the coach tells him, Like as an assistant coach,

1327
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:09,280
Speaker 1: you work for the head guy. He's at the top

1328
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:11,560
Speaker 1: of the pyramid. You know that you've ever seen the

1329
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:14,440
Speaker 1: movies on mobs and that when the FBI is chasing

1330
01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:16,800
Speaker 1: the mob and they have that little chart you know

1331
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:19,959
Speaker 1: in their headquarters of like the hierarchy and the top

1332
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:21,920
Speaker 1: guys always the head of the family is always on

1333
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:23,840
Speaker 1: the top, and then there's the lines to everyone else.

1334
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:26,840
Speaker 1: The the o C is not at the top. Like

1335
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:30,640
Speaker 1: I I defend Kyle on that one the Chief super Bowl.

1336
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 1: That's on Kyle, right, I mean, that's on the whole team.

1337
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:34,960
Speaker 1: It's on starts and ends with Kyle because he's a

1338
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:37,880
Speaker 1: head coach. The Atlanta Falcons one. I'm sorry, that's dan Quinn.

1339
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:41,160
Speaker 1: No head coach in the history of the league has

1340
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 1: ever got off more scott free on a on a

1341
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:48,120
Speaker 1: disastrous loss than dan Quinn. It just gets pinned on

1342
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:52,960
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan and overrated coach. Is he getting a pass? Yeah?

1343
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:54,680
Speaker 1: I mean I hit it on it again. I I

1344
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:56,800
Speaker 1: don't think he's an overrated coach. I think he is

1345
01:07:56,840 --> 01:07:59,320
Speaker 1: a dynamic coach. I think he's had a rough couple

1346
01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:02,120
Speaker 1: of weeks. Stretcher, I really do. Beside the Lions game,

1347
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:05,920
Speaker 1: you know, he's just and and maybe it's Jimmy. Maybe

1348
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:07,280
Speaker 1: just at the end of the that here like oh,

1349
01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 1: this is someone's tweeting at me, like there's guys open,

1350
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:13,200
Speaker 1: they're just not executing with everything falls under the head

1351
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:16,240
Speaker 1: coaches umbrella, as Belichick says, you're either coaching it or

1352
01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:19,120
Speaker 1: allowing it to happen. So when guys are open but

1353
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 1: your quarterback can't pull it off, that's on you for

1354
01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:22,960
Speaker 1: putting him in that situation that he might not be

1355
01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 1: able to pull off. That starts and ends with the coach.

1356
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:29,120
Speaker 1: It's a tactical league. It's a coaching league. And I

1357
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:33,280
Speaker 1: think sometimes these coaches like Kyle Shanahan, us McVeigh, all

1358
01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:35,840
Speaker 1: these guys, he's genius. Like his football I ques through

1359
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:38,240
Speaker 1: the roof. I think sometimes in the season he gets

1360
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:41,120
Speaker 1: tunnel vision. He's like game planning next games. Like, Bro,

1361
01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:43,680
Speaker 1: you are the headman, so you need you need to

1362
01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:46,400
Speaker 1: spend some time with Trey Lance. You need to develop him,

1363
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:48,639
Speaker 1: You need to try to coach Jimmy Garoppolo up like

1364
01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:51,160
Speaker 1: you need to do a lot of different things. It's

1365
01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 1: hard being a head coach and calling the plays when

1366
01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:56,639
Speaker 1: your offense sucks. Matt Naggie has taken so much ship

1367
01:08:56,720 --> 01:09:00,040
Speaker 1: because his offense sucks. Why I'm watching Kyle Shanahan. He

1368
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:03,200
Speaker 1: don't give you cookies and ribbons for a lot of yards.

1369
01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:06,719
Speaker 1: You either score touchdowns or you don't. I watched the

1370
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:10,439
Speaker 1: Cowboy game. Both teams scored a bunch of points, like

1371
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,720
Speaker 1: you gotta score some points. The Niners had a garbage

1372
01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:18,360
Speaker 1: time touchdown. The final score to me was or thirteen. Like,

1373
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:22,559
Speaker 1: I don't blame Kyle for Robbie Gold getting injured in

1374
01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:25,320
Speaker 1: warm ups and then having to use the punter. So

1375
01:09:25,360 --> 01:09:28,559
Speaker 1: when the punter misses field goals, that's that. That could

1376
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:30,960
Speaker 1: happen to anybody. That could happen to Bill Wallace, Belichick,

1377
01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:34,679
Speaker 1: Andy Reid Parcels. No one's fault. So I don't judge

1378
01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 1: you on miss extra points or miss field goals with

1379
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:39,080
Speaker 1: your punter, But I do judge you on not being

1380
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:40,760
Speaker 1: able to get in the end zone, Like you gotta

1381
01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:43,040
Speaker 1: have some plays dial up if you're some offensive genius

1382
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:45,719
Speaker 1: with Jimmy, and then do some stuff with Trey. Trey

1383
01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:49,280
Speaker 1: got in there. He looked like he hadn't even practiced.

1384
01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:54,360
Speaker 1: It's crazy how bad he looked. Now, I'm gonna give

1385
01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 1: him benefit of the doubt he you know, you come

1386
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:58,840
Speaker 1: in mid game, but this game against Arizona, like he's

1387
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:03,240
Speaker 1: gonna get judged. Last week you mentioned Oklahoma channing for

1388
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 1: the backup quarterback showed how much it matters. I'm a

1389
01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:10,400
Speaker 1: like lifelong Husker fan and can relate. Nebraska was two

1390
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:13,479
Speaker 1: and three going into the North Northwestern game this past

1391
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:15,439
Speaker 1: week and this was the end of the third quarter.

1392
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:19,679
Speaker 1: We're up forty to seven and still nink in the stands.

1393
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:24,800
Speaker 1: Curious your perception of Nebraska, Well, my perception of the

1394
01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:30,559
Speaker 1: program is different from my perception of the of the

1395
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:33,439
Speaker 1: passion for the fan base. You guys have a massive

1396
01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 1: fan base because a lot of people anyone you know,

1397
01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:40,439
Speaker 1: my age, mid thirties and older, they witnessed greatness. They

1398
01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:44,080
Speaker 1: saw tom Osborne, they saw Tommy Frasier, they saw Lawrence

1399
01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:47,519
Speaker 1: Phillips like it was sweet. I vividly remember it in

1400
01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:51,799
Speaker 1: the late nineties watching that team dominate. There's a reason

1401
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 1: people my age and you hear a lot of people

1402
01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:56,840
Speaker 1: in the media like they love like, oh the the

1403
01:10:57,000 --> 01:11:00,799
Speaker 1: you and you know, you know, Florida's day, Like, guys

1404
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:02,920
Speaker 1: been a while. Florida State actually was good with Jimbo,

1405
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:05,599
Speaker 1: but the U hasn't been I I read a story today,

1406
01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:07,960
Speaker 1: the U has not been ranked in the top ten.

1407
01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:10,160
Speaker 1: Maybe it was the top five, might have been the

1408
01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:12,719
Speaker 1: top five. I actually think it was top ten since

1409
01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:15,639
Speaker 1: two thousand three. But like, if you talk to people

1410
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:18,040
Speaker 1: my age year older, like we have such fond memories

1411
01:11:18,160 --> 01:11:23,879
Speaker 1: of the you Jimmy Johnson, Snellenberger, Ericsson, hell even Larry Coker,

1412
01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:27,200
Speaker 1: all their sweet players, how could you not? But it

1413
01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:30,480
Speaker 1: hasn't been like that for almost twenty years. The majority

1414
01:11:30,520 --> 01:11:34,200
Speaker 1: of my life in my youth, Alabama was irrelevant. They

1415
01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:37,200
Speaker 1: weren't that good. Now, Nick Saban, is gonna be something

1416
01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:39,800
Speaker 1: that people younger than me. You know, if you're like fifteen,

1417
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:42,759
Speaker 1: if you're twenty five now, for the last ten years

1418
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:45,840
Speaker 1: coming into your own thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, as a sports fan,

1419
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:49,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna view Alabama. So if in like thirty years

1420
01:11:49,479 --> 01:11:53,280
Speaker 1: they become shitty, people will still talk about them, like,

1421
01:11:53,640 --> 01:11:56,800
Speaker 1: you know, you guys just haven't been that good. But

1422
01:11:56,920 --> 01:12:00,879
Speaker 1: I'm with you. The passion, Uh, if you were in sports,

1423
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:03,840
Speaker 1: whether it's football, basketball, or baseball, there's a reason you

1424
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:06,000
Speaker 1: want to work for the Yankees. There's a reason you

1425
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:08,280
Speaker 1: want to work for the Cowboys, right, or be the

1426
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:11,080
Speaker 1: head coach or a player, or you know, beyond the

1427
01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:14,720
Speaker 1: forty niners or Alabama football or Ohio State football or

1428
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:18,880
Speaker 1: Duke basketball or Kentucky basketball, it just means more so Nebraska,

1429
01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:21,479
Speaker 1: you guys have something pretty special to me. The question

1430
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:25,080
Speaker 1: is how do you get the players there? How in

1431
01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:28,120
Speaker 1: that conference do you compete? I don't know. I don't know.

1432
01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:30,559
Speaker 1: If it's possible. Beating the crap out of Northwestern that's

1433
01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:33,639
Speaker 1: pretty impressive, but how do you compete with Iowa? How

1434
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:37,160
Speaker 1: do you compete you know, Michigan, Wisconsin, I know they're down,

1435
01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:40,960
Speaker 1: but obviously Ohio State, Penn State. Like if if you

1436
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:44,120
Speaker 1: can't even belong on the field with those teams, it's like, well,

1437
01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 1: you've got no chance to probably ever like make the playoffs,

1438
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:51,720
Speaker 1: which obviously right now you don't. And I think a

1439
01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:55,920
Speaker 1: major mistake Scott Frost made was sticking with Adrian Martinez

1440
01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:59,200
Speaker 1: all these years. Um, and I think coaches, you know,

1441
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:04,600
Speaker 1: the best coaches are able to balance emotion and objectivity.

1442
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:07,519
Speaker 1: So it's like, hey, I get Ajan Martinez, probably a

1443
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:10,720
Speaker 1: great kid. I bet Scott Frost loves the guy. I mean,

1444
01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:12,559
Speaker 1: I'm just guessing this, but maybe he's like the type

1445
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:14,439
Speaker 1: guy like I want my son to grow up to

1446
01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:16,880
Speaker 1: be like That's sometimes you can be too close to

1447
01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:18,880
Speaker 1: the fire. We're like, well, I've watched him a lot

1448
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:21,599
Speaker 1: of guy, he can't he's not that good. Maybe he's

1449
01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:23,680
Speaker 1: playing a little better now, but this year four like

1450
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:25,479
Speaker 1: you've wasted a lot of time. There's reason on the

1451
01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:27,519
Speaker 1: hot seat, so you gotta you gotta be able to

1452
01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:29,479
Speaker 1: balance that. And I think it's tough for a lot

1453
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:31,800
Speaker 1: of a lot of coaches in general, young and old,

1454
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:36,520
Speaker 1: because they're so close with these players. It's Belichick's greatest attribute,

1455
01:13:36,560 --> 01:13:38,479
Speaker 1: Like you know, close with you one day, cut you

1456
01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:41,519
Speaker 1: the next. Yeah, I know you can't cut anyone in college,

1457
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:44,639
Speaker 1: but make tough decisions like you're not the starter. Saban

1458
01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:47,360
Speaker 1: did it Like I'm sorry, Jalen, you took us this far.
