Speaker 1: to talk about. I've already actually, because we got multiple

9
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: Monday night games. I don't want to stay up ntil midnight.

10
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: I've recorded the majority of the show. I'm gonna hit

11
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: on basically everything that happened on Sunday. Uh. I'm gonna

12
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: start by I just watched the Steeler game in Giants game.

13
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: I'll dive into that. Then i'm gonna record this, and

14
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: then i'm gonna scrape part about a podcast. Then I'm

15
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: gonna watch Titans game, then i'll touch on that come back,

16
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: and then the podcast asked, will just keep on rock

17
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: and roll and have a lot. I mean, there's nothing

18
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: that happened probably on Sunday that I don't dive into.

19
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure, and even touch on college football a

20
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: little bit, maybe I didn't break down Gardner Minshew, you've

21
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: got a big win, but the football was fantastic. I'm

22
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 1: sure everyone you're either piste off or fired up for

23
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 1: your team. I had an incredible gambling weekend, and I'm

24
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: I'm just not a great gambler. I probably have lifetime

25
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: losses in the five figures. But with this, with this

26
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: uh Pittsburgh Steeler win, I've had a I've had a

27
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: great couple of days. So I am uh, I'm in

28
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: a pretty good mood. So we'll dive into everything, and

29
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: let's start with the Pittsburgh Steeler Monday night game. But

30
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: before we get there, at John Middlecoff Middlecoff Mail Baggle,

31
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: I answer a couple of questions at the end, everyone

32
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: that listens to the podcast through Apple and iTunes, go

33
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: there and uh leave a review if you like the show.

34
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: I appreciate it and it helps selling the show. Like

35
00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: I said, so thank you. But my overall takeaway is listen, well,

36
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: the Giants aren't gonna be very good. They have no

37
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: talent on defense. You know the coach who knows I mean,

38
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett is the clapper sa Kuon Barkley is nowhere

39
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: to go for great of a player of sa Kuon

40
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: Barkley is he doesn't want to block a soul. He

41
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: kind of reminds me of He kind of reminds me

42
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: of Adrian Peterson that way, really physical back. Doesn't want

43
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: to touch anybody. You know, It's like, bro, you gotta block,

44
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: and that's not really his thing. Now, clearly the team stinks,

45
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 1: the defense stinks, they can't cover anybody. They're just not

46
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,119
Speaker 1: gonna be very good. I mean, I think they're gonna

47
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: struggle to win I don't know five games. Danny Dimes

48
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: has some talent. Uh, He's an athlete. Clearly, he can

49
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: move around. He plays away with his legs. Unlike Eli Manning.

50
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: He actually has a pretty strong arm. I I the

51
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: hype on his arm. I always thought was was not

52
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: as good, but everyone compared him like Alex Smith. He's

53
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: got a stronger arm than Alex Smith. And I just

54
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 1: you know, they're clearly probably the worst team in the

55
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: division and it's just gonna be a long year for

56
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: Joe Judge, Freddie Kitchens, Brett Bielma. They have quite the staff.

57
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you just see some of the guys, You're like, God,

58
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: who does this guy have on the staff Jason Garrett, Um, Yeah,

59
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: just gonna lose. I mean, the reason they got put

60
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: on Monday Football is because they're the New York Giants

61
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: in the New York market, not because they're any good.

62
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: Both New York teams probably are gonna combine for seven wins.

63
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: Jets might win three, Giants might win four, maybe five,

64
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: maybe eight. I set the over under about seven a

65
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: half between the New York teams Snake the Steelers. Their

66
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: defense isn't unreal right this the speed of the defense,

67
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: I guess the weakness would be Their corners on paper

68
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: are just okay, but they you know, Joe Hayden not

69
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: the fastest corner, but he does. You know, He's a

70
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: physical dude. And their front seven, I mean, that defensive

71
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: line is just coming for blood. If you like football

72
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: and you like physical play, they are fun to watch

73
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: because they are coming to kick your ass and sake

74
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: one Barkley missing blocks, They are destroying people. They're bringing

75
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: dbs and linebackers. There feels like they're blitzing every other play.

76
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: That defense is top notch. I don't know if they'll

77
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: finish the season. Is the number one overall defense, but

78
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: They're definitely a top three defense in the NFL. Their

79
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: team speed of just all the defenses that I've watched

80
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: over the last day, I guess twenty four hours, including

81
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: I mean the Chiefs. Actually defense might not be terrible.

82
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: I mean, actually it's gonna be pretty good. I don't

83
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: know if it's gonna be a top ten defense, but

84
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: it'll be in the teams. The Steelers defense probably the

85
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: fastest defensive the league, just top to bottom. Their their

86
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: teams speed up front, all their defensive linemen, it feels

87
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: like whole ass. Their linebackers are fast. Their dB, especially

88
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: having Minka back there helps a lot. Their defense is

89
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: just top notch. So it's gonna come down to their offense.

90
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: And the reason they went eight and eight last year

91
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: is because Ben throughout his arm and in the probably

92
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: the first quarter and a half. You know, it's hard

93
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: not to overreact to every snap or humans. You couldn't

94
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: have watched that and went, oh my god, it has

95
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: been done. You know, he looks slow. Uh, he just

96
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: looked awful. And then you don't once you take a

97
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: deep breath and you realize, you know what he missed

98
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: all last season with a with a torn elbow. Let

99
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: him get his legs under him. Now, he's not fast,

100
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: like he hasn't been fast in a while, not that

101
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: he ever was that fast, but I mean he can't

102
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: really move now. But as he got his rism throwing

103
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: the ball, You're like, okay, this is an older version

104
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: of the Hall of Fame quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. And they

105
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: just dominated. I mean they were running crossing routes, so

106
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: the cows come home. He's hitting Deonte Thompson, who can fly.

107
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: Juju now, who had a bad year last year because

108
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: his quarterback sucked, looked like a star again. Multiple touchdowns,

109
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: just getting open with ease, everything short and intermediate and

110
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: if their offense is good. Kirk herb Street and Rick

111
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: and almost called him. Ricky Fowler and Chris Fowler, who,

112
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: by the way, God, what an easier watch. Those two

113
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: guys are than Joe Tessa Tour acting like every play

114
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: is to win the Super Bowl. It's like, I just

115
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: let the game breathe. This is the NFL, this is

116
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers, the New York Giants. Just let the

117
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 1: game play call the game like you know, you know

118
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: the reality too. It's way easier to call NFL games

119
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: than it is college football because most of the players

120
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: in the NFL are famous, and this you could argue

121
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: this game is probably one of the more difficult games

122
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: because the Giants have a bunch of random players, but

123
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: they still got Danny Dimes, Sae Kwon, Barkley, Leonard Williams,

124
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: Blake Martinez, like, they got some guys you're gonna know.

125
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,239
Speaker 1: And then the Steelers team is littered with star players.

126
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: In college football, even if you're doing Ohio State in

127
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,679
Speaker 1: Penn State, they play like fifty guys. In the NFL,

128
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: they're like thirty five guys that play your starters, a

129
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: couple of rotational backups, and you gotta pay attention to

130
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: some of the randas on special team. It's not that complicated.

131
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: Now I'm not saying calling games is easy. I couldn't

132
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: do it, but just in terms of learning and everyone's

133
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: like I can't believe how good they are, Well they're good.

134
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,799
Speaker 1: And then calling NFL games is pretty easy because learning

135
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: the players isn't that hard because if you just pay attention,

136
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: I would imagine most people that call games or sports

137
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 1: fans the NFL, it's like doing the NBA is way easier.

138
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: Than doing n C double A. You know all the players.

139
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: So most of these guys that Herb Street and Fowler

140
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: have called their games at Alabama, Ohio State, at Michigan,

141
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: and l s U at Georgia, right at Oregon, like

142
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: they call the big games. So most of these guys,

143
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: I mean a large majority of them are coming from

144
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: bigger programs, and I thought they were excellent. It was

145
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: a very very easy watch. Now, Herb Street thought that

146
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,679
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers were Super Bowl contender. Now I wouldn't

147
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: go that far because Roethlisberger does me looks his age.

148
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: He he looks in his late thirties, and where I

149
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: do think it'll be difficult as they play defenses that

150
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: are as good as their own. Now, he's luck he

151
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: gets a practice against that defense every year, and for

152
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: the most part in his entire career, he's practiced against

153
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: elite defenses. But he can't really get away. Now he's

154
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: not Phil Rivers or uh Tom Brady, but part of

155
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: his game, right his entire career has been keeping plays alive.

156
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: And he's just he looks at a slow as he should.

157
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: He's old. Uh My takeaway was that for the first

158
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: half of him, like, I don't know, is he gonna

159
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: play sixteen games this year? You know, he got rolled

160
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: up on early, kind of came limping and I didn't

161
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: get he's a little bit of a drama queen. But

162
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: he legitimately towards elbow. Of course, he told them he's

163
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: been he's been hurting for fifteen years. But if he

164
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: gives them sixteen games of just top eighteen quarterback play,

165
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: I mean, they basically had the works quarterback play in

166
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: the league last year. So if you just get top

167
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: eighteen sixteen quarterback play, their double did you win team,

168
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 1: they're in the playoffs and then you just take your shot, right,

169
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: you give him a couple of shots to toward it roll.

170
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: You say, Ben, go get them, and you just you know,

171
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: first round playoff game, maybe get a home game. It'll

172
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: be probably hard for them to beat the Ravens, but

173
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: you never know. It's not like the Steelers gonna be

174
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: scared of the Ravens. Like it's pretty clear you watch

175
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: this game, you went, the Giants gave everything they had

176
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: and it's not very good. The Steelers, you know, probably

177
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: played a C game on offense. I'd say their defense

178
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: was probably like a b and they're gonna win by

179
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: ten points pretty easily. I mean, it's just it wasn't

180
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: that complicated first game of the year with a quarterback

181
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: they missed all last season. If I'm a Steeler fan,

182
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: I'm pretty bullish now. The one thing I'm nervous of,

183
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: like I said, is just Roethlisberger's health. You're just holding

184
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: on for dear life that he that he can stay healthy,

185
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: that he can avoid these hits, that he can stay erect,

186
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: because that's not easy. And the hard part about staying

187
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: erect when you're old and you can't move is you're

188
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: kind of a sitting duck. So I enjoy watching the Steelers.

189
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: I just put some money on the Steelers. Thank you,

190
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin, thank you Roethlisberger. And uh, I think they're

191
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: gonna have that they should be a playoff team. And

192
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: the Giants, I guess this year is just kind of

193
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: about just seeing if Joe Judge, you know, does he

194
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: have any tricks up his sleeve? Is Jason Garrett a

195
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: legitimate offensive coordinator. I guess we'll just learn that as

196
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: the season goes on. But there were Their roster is

197
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: probably bottom five in the NFL, right now, okay, let's uh,

198
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: I guess dive into that. Just finished watching the Titans

199
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: and Broncos don't quite nowhere to start. Uh. Listen, I'm

200
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: a big Vic Fangio guy. I think he's in an

201
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 1: all time great defensive coordinator. I think he's one of

202
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 1: the better defensive minds you know of the last twenty years.

203
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: But being a head coach is more than being a coordinator.

204
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: And he took three time outs. He took two, Like

205
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: he just walked to the locker room with two time

206
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: outs in his back pocket like that. That just can't happen.

207
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: You know, you have to call time outs at the

208
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: end of the game to give your team a chance.

209
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: And it's just that's just low level stuff. And listen,

210
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: we can argue about going forward on fourth and ones

211
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: and the analytic community about when to punt and when

212
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: not to punt. I'm a big feel of the game guy.

213
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,359
Speaker 1: But in that situation, even though Goodkowski has missed seventeen

214
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: million kicks tonight, you have to start calling time outs

215
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: because you're gonna get the ball back with like seventeen seconds.

216
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: You gotta go fifty yards. You don't have enough time.

217
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: It just listen, I like you, Vic, but holy hell,

218
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 1: use your time outs man. The Titans. I think the

219
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: Broncos are fine. Like I, I think they're gonna be

220
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: a competitive team this year. They had a couple of

221
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: injuries at night uh, and they've obviously already lost Vaughan Miller.

222
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: At Drew Lock, it's easy to see he's got a

223
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: lot of talent. You know, he is a talented young player.

224
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,359
Speaker 1: It's gonna be an up and down season for him.

225
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: But his physical attributes, his arm strength, his athletic ability,

226
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: his accuracy on the deep ball is a little hit

227
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: or miss. He hiverthrew a couple of deep balls by

228
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: a mile. But there's a lot there to work with.

229
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: I I like Drew Lock, and I think the Broncos

230
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: are gonna be one of those competitive seven eight win teams.

231
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: Just after watching them play, now, maybe the Titans are good.

232
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: My issue with the Titans is love Mike Frabel, Big

233
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: Mike Frabele guy Big John Robinson, friend of the show,

234
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: GM of the Titans. I like their team, defense, physical upfront.

235
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: Ra Shaan Evans got tossed for bro. You can't swing

236
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: in another player. It's automatic objection, whether it a soft

237
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: dejection or not. You can't swing like it's just football

238
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: one on one. You get taught that like high school.

239
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: He can't do that. Uh, clearly their offense. I mean,

240
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry is a monster. I gotta look at the

241
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: box score. I don't think he had a great game

242
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: the night. Uh. Obviously a j Brown baller, Corey Davis

243
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: kind of coming into his own. My issue with the

244
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 1: Titans is Ryan Tannehill. As someone described him to me,

245
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: he's like he's like an Alex Smith. And here's the

246
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: way I would describe me was two fifty yards and

247
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, but he missed a touchdown to I guess

248
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 1: that we just would have covered the spread. They won

249
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: the game no matter what. Out Like he's a more

250
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: physically gifted Alex Smith. You know, I think he's a

251
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: little faster, he's a little like stronger, and he's got

252
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 1: a stronger arm. But he's not as good, Like he

253
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: misses some just kind of routine passes too often, like

254
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: they were passes Alex couldn't make. But Alex is really accurate.

255
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: Like I watched Ryan Tannehill and I just go, is

256
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: this guy good enough to beat? And I know they

257
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: won a couple of games last year in the playoffs,

258
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 1: but a lot of that was their defense, kicking. Lamar

259
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 1: Jackson's asked, kicking Tom Brady's asked, and Derrick Henry looking

260
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 1: like Walter Payton meets him, Att Smith meets Jim Brown.

261
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: That's You're not gonna have your running back go for

262
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: a hundred eight yards in a playoff game most of

263
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: the time, even if he has a good game, he

264
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: might go for a buck twenty. You need the quarterback

265
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: to be really good, and they got some weapons, I

266
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: mean a J. Brown's stud, Corey Davis is a big

267
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: time I just to me, that's my question mark. Is

268
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: he gonna be good enough? Now it's the first game

269
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: I've tried to temper my just enthusiasm slash criticism on

270
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: just about everything because I it's just it's difficult. The

271
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: timing is off for quarterbacks. You saw with Ben as

272
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: I talked about earlier, took him as the game went on.

273
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: So maybe Ryan Tanneyhill will be better. Titans are good,

274
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: like They're just gonna play in a bunch of ugly

275
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: games and probably win ten or eleven games, probably win

276
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: the division. I'm a big variable guy. I mean, I

277
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: like their Mojoe I like or squad. I like their physicality,

278
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: but I just I just like to me their limitation.

279
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: Why I can't like that's a super Bowl team? Like

280
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: the quarterback, you know, Like, I don't even love Lamar Jackson.

281
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: Now he looked pretty good the other day they were

282
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: playing the Browns, but i'd go, I know his ceiling

283
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: is high. I don't know how high Tanne hills ceiling is.

284
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: Like Josh Allen ceiling is high, Mahome ceiling obviously we've

285
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: seen it is the moon, right, Lamar Jackson ceiling is

286
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: damn high to like, is Tannie hill ceiling that high?

287
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: Can you win a super Bowl like you saw last

288
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: year at the Niners Like Jimmy garoppolo ceiling is somewhat limited,

289
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: but their team around him was unreal. Like I don't know.

290
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if this Titans team is as good

291
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: as like last year's forty n team and Tanne Hill

292
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: is just somewhat limited. That would be my question mark

293
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: with their team, but definitely good enough to make the

294
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: playoffs and then you have a physical defense turn the

295
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: ball over their kicking situation. I always thought goodkowski just

296
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: watching the Patriots from Afar was elite. I saw a

297
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: twe he was like the fourth most accurate kicker of

298
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: all time coming in to night after all these misses,

299
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: he's now like ninth. A bunch of guys passed him. Obviously,

300
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: they didn't even play tonight. You know, they just passed

301
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: him because they were he went down percentage points. But

302
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: that's concerning I thought. The guys on the Monday night

303
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: broadcast said it pretty well is when you play in

304
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: that style of football, running the ball, defense, just ugly football,

305
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna be in a lot of field goal type games.

306
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: And when your field goal kicker can't make a kick,

307
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: it's like hold on for your ass, right, So I

308
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: enjoyed Monday Night a little ugly. One thing I will

309
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: say about opening weekend, it's been a very very physical weekend,

310
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: and as a lover of physical football, I felt like

311
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: the football was getting a little soft there for a while.

312
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: This is it didn't feel like but it it felt

313
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: like if you go over the middle and they're not

314
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: head hunting, but you're gonna get molly wapped. Dudes were

315
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: flying to the ball. I thought the effort from Thursday

316
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: to the last snap on Monday night was fantastic. Guys

317
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: are playing hard, playing their balls off, and it's just

318
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: enjoyable to watch. Now does that effort maintain as teams

319
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: start losing this season goes on? Who knows, but I

320
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: think I think the NFL has got a pretty good

321
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: just core teams, even their average teams play hard and

322
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: are watchable. I think it helps that there are a

323
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: lot of just functional quarterbacks. There's not many quarterbacks in

324
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: the league, even like Drew lock right, I mean, he's

325
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: just he's watchable, Danny Dimes watchable, and those teams, you know,

326
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: probably not gonna make the playoffs. So as long as

327
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: when you're bad, teams have watchable quarterbacks, obviously you're good

328
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: teams typically have good quarterbacks. I think the league's in

329
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: a pretty good spot from a competitive standpoint, as it

330
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: usually is, but I think there's way more depth at

331
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: quarterback right now, which which definitely should just help our

332
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: entertainment as a season goes on. Okay, let's dive into

333
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And by the time

334
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: I've recorded this, obviously the game has happened. But then

335
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: Bruce arians has has said things. I think it is

336
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: Monday morning press conference. Now listen. I I've said from

337
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: the jump there was gonna be a learning curve with Tom.

338
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: He has been with the same offensive coordinator what feels

339
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: like for his whole career. But the second iteration of

340
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels right happened after he got fired from Denver. Uh,

341
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien took the Penn State job. Maybe Josh, he's

342
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: gone to St. Louis for a year, got fired there too.

343
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: Bill hired him back, and then they've been together for

344
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: basically the last decade. He has been in the same offense,

345
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: his offense which he has created over time forever. Think

346
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: about any job you've been in, if you've been in

347
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: it for a long time, or a relationship for a

348
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: long period of time, When you change out of that

349
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: job or that relationship with that significant other, there is

350
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: a growing period with the next person. Now there's a

351
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: natural honeymoon period because it's really cool, it's really easy.

352
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: But eventually at that job or with you with your

353
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: significant other, your new one, you're gonna go through a

354
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: little adversity and it's gonna be something that at your

355
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: old place you were used to handling. It was easy

356
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: to pivot. You knew how to handle it. That that's

357
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: not the case in Tampa Bay. He's never worked with

358
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians, he's ever worked with all these wide receivers.

359
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: It's brand new. Now, let's face it. He threw a

360
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: couple of picks and a pick six. It looked a

361
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: little weird. I think sometimes we forget that Tom Brady

362
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: is forty three years old and I admire the living

363
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: hell out of the guy. I have him on my pantheon.

364
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,239
Speaker 1: It goes Michael Jordan's Tiger Woods. Tom Brady of just

365
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: the guys who's desire, drive, willingness to do whatever it

366
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: takes to win all time superstars in my lifetime. And

367
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: after he scored that first touchdown, he let him right

368
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: down the field. He gets the quarterback sneak. It's badass.

369
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: You see the fire in the guy. The guy's forty three,

370
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: he's got sick Lombardi has been a nine Super Bowls,

371
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: he's got unlimited money, he's got a supermodel wife who

372
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: makes huge cash. Like you'd say, he's got the life

373
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: by the balls. Yet he's still playing in Tampa Bay,

374
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: a franchise that hasn't been in the Super Bowl or

375
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: I mean even the playoffs in twelve years. But I respected,

376
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: I really do now Bruce areas a high level coach.

377
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people in most high level

378
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: players in college, whether you're playing at Alabama, whether you're

379
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: playing at Georgia, whether you're playing at L s U,

380
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: whether you're playing for Kirby, whether you played for Urban Meyer.

381
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 1: I think Mario crystal Ball is like this. I know

382
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: Chris Peterson at Washington was like this. You know, and hardball,

383
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: they get on guys. College players are used to having,

384
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: you know, getting ripped. I mean that's part of football,

385
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: especially your position. Coaches you get lit into, and I

386
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: think a lot of times in pro sports, definitely, you

387
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: see it in basketball, like you watch college basketball, tom Izzo, Calapari,

388
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: coach k They will light into a dude who's about

389
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,959
Speaker 1: to be the number one pick. They treat him, they

390
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: coach him. And then once you get to the pros,

391
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: you start making huge money. Then you start dictating the

392
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: shots and no coach can say anything to you. I

393
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: think football is kind of somewhere in the middle. There's

394
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: a select few coaches that can really get on guys.

395
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: I think sometimes coaches can be intimidated. Well, there's a

396
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: couple of old school coaches, obviously Belichick who treated Tom

397
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: for a long period of time, called him Johnny Foxboro

398
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: when he screw up, and he lit into him. Were

399
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: a lot of players of his level don't really get

400
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: talked to like that. I don't think Aaron Rodgers gets

401
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: lit up that often. Even Sean Payton, who does light

402
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: into guys. I think they're pretty cool with Drew Brees.

403
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: I don't think he's getting yelled at that many times

404
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: in front of the team meetings. I could be wrong. Uh.

405
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: And they always said this about the San Antonio Spurs

406
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: and Tim Duncan in that dynasty, the Greg Popovitch could

407
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: treat him like the fift man on the roster, and

408
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: they said the same thing about the Patriots. Tom Brady

409
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: was treated no different than Brian Hoyer or the backup

410
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: linebacker or the starting right tackle. And that's where that

411
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: sets the tone your whole franchise. Well, Bruce arians is

412
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: a little different than Belichick in the sense of when

413
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: he talks to the media is pretty open, and I

414
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 1: respect that because because I think it's easy to like.

415
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: The one thing Belichick does is he says things to

416
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: the media that just aren't true. Now, I also believe

417
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: what you say to the media and what you don't

418
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 1: say to the media ultimately doesn't matter that much. We'll

419
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: get into optics a little bit later. I think it's

420
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: the most overrated thing in football. Like we saw Tom

421
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: he struggled. He struggled a little bit last year. Now

422
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: this I kind of understand. He has new offensive weapons.

423
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: There are new offensive lingo, there are offensive you know, uh,

424
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: the way in different things that you do within that

425
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: offense where to throw different guys open, different routes to

426
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: run against different coverages might be different than New England.

427
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly, but Bruce Arians said after the game,

428
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: uh directly after the game that the pick that he

429
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: threw over Mike evans head was on Tom Brady. That's

430
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: something that Bill Belichick would never have said. But that

431
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: doesn't change the fact that the pick was on Tom Brady.

432
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: And then today he you know, on Monday, Bruce Arians

433
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: was pretty open about you know, Tom Brady did things

434
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,479
Speaker 1: in practice we were ready for in the game and

435
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 1: he just didn't execute it in the game. And I

436
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: saw on social media a lot of the media members like, oh,

437
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: my god, this is no Tom Brady is used to

438
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: being held to a high standard, to why's the greatest

439
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: quarterback of all time? He has been held to a

440
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 1: high standard now, not openly in the media, but behind

441
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: closed doors for twenty years, and definitely this last decade

442
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: after he's had countless rings and they just kept racking

443
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: them up. Tom Brady wants that the best players in

444
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: football want to be coached. And this isn't Freddie Kitchen

445
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 1: saying it. This isn't Ben McAdoo saying it, This isn't

446
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: some rando saying it. It's Bruce Arians, who has a

447
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: long resume of working with elite quarterbacks and running elite offenses.

448
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 1: Like he knows what he's doing. Tom also knows what

449
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: he's signing up for Bruce arians personality. And I think

450
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: now it's gonna be a little different because it's out

451
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 1: there in the public. But again, we all saw it.

452
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: Tom's passes on a couple of these on the pick

453
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: and the pick six, like it just doesn't quite look

454
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: like Tom Brady, And it's just it's a mistake. It's

455
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: a mistake that Jimmy Garoppolo or Dak Prescott or Jared

456
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 1: goff makes. It doesn't hide the fact whether Bruce arians

457
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: blames it on Tom Brady or blames it on no

458
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: one who cares that it's still happened and they need

459
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: to get it corrected. I'm sure they will. They play

460
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers this week. That's what I would call

461
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: a get right game. I'm not selling Tampa Bay down

462
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: the river. Their defense is clearly really good. I think

463
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: I heard I have to look at the box score,

464
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: like fifteen third downs. That means they were relatively containing

465
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: the Saints offense. Obviously, one of the touchdowns was a

466
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 1: pick six Tom through and another was threw another pick,

467
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: So you're giving them free possessions. Listen, they have so

468
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: much talent on offense. The guy that I would say

469
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: I have the biggest red flag on his gronk. I

470
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 1: saw people tweeting like, God, he looks like he's running

471
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 1: like an old man. Doesn't look like he's kind of old,

472
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: even though he's not really that old. But he retired.

473
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: He retired for a reason. It wasn't just because Belichick

474
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: was n asshole. It was because he wasn't the same physically,

475
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: and maybe I thought he would have a bounce back game.

476
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: Just watched him that game. He looks slow, but I

477
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: still got Mike Evans, they still got Chris Godwin. I

478
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: think the running I'm a bro Joe guy for NET

479
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: will continue to gain the role as this thing goes.

480
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: And Bruce Bruce arians and definitely Tom Brady's resume speaks

481
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: for itself. They are old school badasses. I do have

482
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 1: faith that they will get it figured out. Now, the

483
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: one kind of elephant in the room is at the

484
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: end of the day, the Breeze. Think about this, Breeze

485
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: and Brady combined to be eighty three years old, right,

486
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: Tom's forty three, Druiz forty. The combined ages of the

487
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: coaches in the Niners Arizona game was one, then Cliffs

488
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: forty one and Kyle's forty. So it just shows you

489
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: these guys are really, really old. So there is a chance,

490
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about some of these other quarterbacks, the

491
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: older quarterbacks later, that you just hit forty three, you're

492
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 1: just not as sharp. Now. Tom's never ran, but he

493
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: was always elite in the pocket. Maybe he just lose

494
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: half a step. Maybe your accuracy diminishes just half a

495
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 1: percent or a percent, Like there just it gets to

496
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: a point when you get to a certain age. I mean,

497
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,719
Speaker 1: I'm thirty five. I feel pains in my body when

498
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: I got out of bed that I didn't feel five

499
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: years ago. I played golf with a buddy on Saturday

500
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: and he was like, you know, he was in his

501
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: mid delay thirties and he's like, you know what's crazy

502
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 1: is I I work out every day and once I

503
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: got to like nine, I couldn't just eat whatever I wanted.

504
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: I had to change my diet. Like as you age,

505
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 1: things change. And I understand he eats avocados and tomatoes

506
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: that there is a chance and I'm leaving this as

507
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: an option, though I still think even if he's aging,

508
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: I mean he is but diminishing as a player, they're

509
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 1: talent around him. If he can get ahold of this offense,

510
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: and the coach has proven that they will be able

511
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: to score points the same potentially are the best team

512
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: in the NFC? I thought, really they were last year,

513
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 1: and then the Niners beat him in that crazy shootout,

514
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: and I still thought they were the second best team

515
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: in the NFC. Then they lost that inexcusable game to

516
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings at home. But I would not just

517
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: act like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, some six win team,

518
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: I would I still expect them to win nine or

519
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: ten games, compete to win the wild card. But they

520
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: do this month. I think it's fair to say, Uh,

521
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna have its ups and downs as they get

522
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: on the same page, as Tom learns his wide receivers,

523
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: his personnel. It's it's one thing to run it in practice,

524
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: it's nothing to run in the game, and not just

525
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: any game against one of the best teams in the league.

526
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: You just you learn something. And I've always been a

527
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: believer of this. I think most people I would imagine

528
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 1: listening to this, you learn the most through adversity, not

529
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: through success. So if I was them, if I was

530
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: gonna would I rather have a big win or a

531
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: big loss? If you're talking week one, I don't know.

532
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: If a big loss and you know, quote unquote big loss,

533
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: you you know what I mean, a loss that I

534
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: think us on the outside of views as god. They

535
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: just kind of got handled because they kind of did. Uh,

536
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: it's not the worst thing. I think they will learn

537
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: from it. And if Tom isn't just physically shot, which

538
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: I need a little more evidence before I just say that,

539
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: I think they'll turn it around and be okay, Okay,

540
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: let's dive into some polarizing quarterbacks, because yesterday was a

541
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: great day for for one polarizing quarterback and a really

542
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: pretty terrible day for a couple other ones. Now, I

543
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 1: wouldn't necessarily include this guy as a polarizing quarterback. I'm

544
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,719
Speaker 1: just gonna tip my hat to him in Russell Wilson,

545
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: He's just a star. I think he's the clear second

546
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: best quarterback in the NFL. Uh. DK Metcalf and him

547
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: just they kind of have a special connection. Tyler Lockett

548
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: still a baller, Carson's a baller, and Russell just as

549
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: a magician. I think he's I know, for me personally, Uh,

550
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: he's one of my favorite athletes to watch in my life.

551
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: When Russell Wilson on television, I enjoy watching him and

552
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: I would pay to watch him play. I've paid to

553
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: watch him play before. I've seen him play three or

554
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 1: four times in person, and he never doesn't live up

555
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 1: to the hype. He's just a baller. And you add

556
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams to that team like one thing I think

557
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,880
Speaker 1: Seattle lacked last year when they added Clowney, like Clowney

558
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: is not a huge like uplifter. He's not like an

559
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 1: energy guy. You know, he's just this freak talent that's

560
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 1: kind of an underachiever who just looks great getting off

561
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: the bus and depending on if he's into the game

562
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 1: or not, like you're getting his best effort. Jamal Adams,

563
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,959
Speaker 1: if he's in a good environment, which he was an

564
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: l s U and now he is in Seattle, is

565
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: an uplifter. The guy is an ass kicker. And you

566
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: put him in that environment Seattle with rust cooking like

567
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna be pretty good. And Jamal Adams is gonna

568
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: compete to be the defensive player of the year if

569
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: he can stay healthy, because he's gonna be on a

570
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: winning team. He's gonna be an impactful player. They're gonna

571
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: score points on offense. And Seattle. I just wanted to

572
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: mention them, even though I wouldn't consider Russell Wilson polarizing.

573
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: But I think Aaron Rodgers, who I said on a

574
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: previous podcast either last week or yeah, I think last

575
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: week I said a big reason Aaron Rodgers now one

576
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: he learned from far how much ship you take when

577
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: you know you're kind of an asshole to the younger guy,

578
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: like the in pro sports. You don't get to pick

579
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: and choose where you go, right, you get drafted. That

580
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: this isn't You're not like, you know, trying to work

581
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: in the tech sector and be like, do I want

582
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: to work at Google? Do I want to work at Facebook?

583
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: Or do I want to work at Apple. That's not

584
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: how it works. You don't get to pick your employee.

585
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: They pick you. Like Aaron Rodgers was forced to go

586
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: to Green Bay, right, he wanted to go to the

587
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: Niners and the number one overall pick in the draft,

588
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: and the tumbles and goes too far. But then Far's

589
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: not nice to him. Well, I understand why Farther wasn't

590
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: nice to him, because it was probably pretty clear pretty

591
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: early on that Rodgers gonna take his job. And then

592
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: Rodgers turned into one of the greatest quarterbacks we've ever saw.

593
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: So really you could argue far Of, well, he had

594
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: his own issues, and I'm a Brett Farve guy, but

595
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: the way that situation happened was probably is really just

596
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: all on Brett Farve. Now Rogers pretty prickly or whatever,

597
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: but it's tough spot for a young guy, and the

598
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: opposite this year, We've seen all the information come out

599
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: of Green Bay one. Jordan Love is not any good.

600
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: He was in street clothes yesterday on the bench. I

601
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: can't even dress for the game. Couldn't beat out Tim Boyle,

602
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: guy I've never even heard of. I literally fall football

603
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: for a living, played at Eastern Kentucky. No, no no, no, no,

604
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: anything about the guy. Couldn't beat him out. And from

605
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: all accounts and just some videos I've seen on NFL

606
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: Network of Love practicing, I don't think it was close.

607
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: Like the guy. If he was an undrafted free agent,

608
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: he probably would have been cut. It's the one great

609
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: part about sucking. When you're a first round pick, you're

610
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: on scholarship, and so Rogers immediately goes, well, I can

611
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: get credit here, be nice to a guy that couldn't

612
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: hold my jock right now. It was an easy one,

613
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to diminish Rogers being nice to

614
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: the guy. But if Jordan's Loves showed up and looked

615
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: like Peyton Manning, would it Would they have a normal relationship.

616
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, but here's clearly what it did is

617
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: we already know that Rogers takes a lot of things

618
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: personally and listen. I I do too. I think a

619
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: lot of people listening. I'm sure. I mean, we're all humans.

620
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: It had to motivate the guy a little bit. And

621
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: then I think there's a natural progression in this offense

622
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: where you see it with Kyle shanahan and Matt Ryan

623
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: in the second year had a big explosion. We've seen

624
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: guys in Jared Goff's second year with Sean McVeigh, big explosion.

625
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo hard to tell, like last year, you know,

626
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: had took a big jump in the second half of

627
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: the season. Then it gets a lot easier to play

628
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: in once you kind of master because from all accounts

629
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: listening to the Shanahans and the mcveigh's, those guys talk,

630
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: it is a complicated offense for quarterbacks. It can be

631
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: uncomfortable with turning your back to the line of scrimmage

632
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: because you're under center the zone, uh, play action stuff.

633
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan says he didn't feel comfortable at all that

634
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: first year turned his back to the line of scrimmage

635
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: and Rodgers, you know, did something a certain way under

636
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: McCarthy and then it changed raumatic the under mount the

637
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: floor another big question with Rogers like is he old?

638
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: Because my always issue with him was like, you know,

639
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: his fundamentals aren't great. He just as you get older.

640
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: The reason Peyton Manning and Tom Brady and Breeze like

641
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: these guys hang their hat on fundamentals, footwork, you know,

642
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: stepping into throws because your arm strength, even if you

643
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: throw a hundred miles an hour, is gonna come down

644
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: to ninety five as you age. And if you throw

645
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: like ninety two like Philip Rivers, you know in your

646
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: prime you're gonna end up throwing eighty seven. Where you

647
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: can still get guys out in the big leagues throwing

648
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: eighty seven. You just better be able to locate. And

649
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: last year watching Aaron Rodgers, like, god, he's not as accurate.

650
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: I I know the numbers were good, but he was

651
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: just he was off yesterday. Listen, say what you want

652
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: about Minnesota's defensive backs, all these young guys, dudes with

653
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: no experience. I don't give a ship if he's playing

654
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: a college team, Rogers looked elite, like he was making

655
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: plays that looked like m v P two thousand fourteen.

656
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, that was a clinic that was a major

657
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: f You the league f you two team, two team management,

658
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: because it's not the media is not making this up.

659
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: The management literally just drafted a quarterback in the first

660
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: round and Rogers look piste off for greatness yesterday. That's

661
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: what Ray Lewis told the Stanford Cardinal one time in

662
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: a before an n I T Final four. They brought

663
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: him in the locker room and he told him you

664
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: gotta be piste off for greatness, and that's what Rogers

665
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: looked like. And he just looked in general, like I'm

666
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: going to eviscerate people this year. And DeVante is a star,

667
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: and they have some other guys that I think we're

668
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: all And even Packer fans would say, you know, Scantling Lazard,

669
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: like we'll see you know this. This isn't Randall Cobb

670
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: or Jordy Nelson or you know, Greg Jennings. But maybe

671
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: the great quarterbacks they elevate, right. I didn't know who

672
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: the hell Julian Edelman was when he first showed up

673
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: to the New England Patriots. Ten years later he had

674
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: walk off touchdowns and great years for right Tom Brady,

675
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: you could argue kind of made him. And that's what

676
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: great quarterbacks do, Like Devonte would have been good no

677
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: matter where he goes. But these other guys, Pete Rodgers

678
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: makes these guys look better the Rogers I saw yesterday,

679
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: You're gonna win a lot of games if he if

680
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: he's got ten more of those in the bag of

681
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: the next fifth team, Like this team is a lock

682
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: to go to the playoffs because they're gonna run the ball.

683
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: And if you just have a quarterback playing at an

684
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: elite level in the NFL, when he's a Hall of

685
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 1: Fame level guy, it's gonna be hard to beat you.

686
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: It just is Uh, Rogers just a winner. I mean,

687
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: the resume speaks for itself. I think our question was

688
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: has he fallen off the map? Well, yesterday it looked

689
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: more like five years ago than it did last year.

690
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 1: And then the two polarizing guys. Uh, let's start with

691
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. I think Carson Wentz is a special talent,

692
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: right like Dak Prescott. I like Dak Prescott. I don't

693
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: think he's a special talent, right, He's a good athlete,

694
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: average arm. You know, when he's on, he's accurate, Like

695
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is a freak, but I think sometimes he

696
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: struggles with touch and he struggles with not always throwing fastballs,

697
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: and listen, I understand that had a ton of injuries,

698
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: have a lot of guys out, like Jimmy g I

699
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: get into it a little bit when when you're missing

700
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: top receivers or you're missing top offensive lineman, it's challenging.

701
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: But there's a reason when a team cut you a

702
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: check for million dollars a year, thirty million dollars a year,

703
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: they're putting on you to overcome it. Like at the

704
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 1: end of the day, Lebron is a max player. Kevin

705
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: Durant a max player because he's winning with whoever he

706
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 1: plays with, Like Aaron Rodgers when he's on, could play

707
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 1: with me or you, and he's gonna compete to beat anybody.

708
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,879
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson could play with nobody's and win mahomes. People

709
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: ask me this all the time, like what if you

710
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: put my homes on the Jaguars, like they fucking win?

711
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: I mean they they would uh win ten games. I

712
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: mean just they'd be awesome. Why Because he's an elite player,

713
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: he's an uplifter And I think sometimes Wentz did this

714
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: at the end of last year, but the ones yesterday

715
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 1: just made some awful mistakes. I mean to pick at

716
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: the end of the half, pick early in the second half.

717
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: It just leads to points and you give. Especially early

718
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: in the season, we don't really know. Like bad teams,

719
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 1: like at the end of the day, Washington might win

720
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: six or seven games, right, but right now week one there,

721
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: they don't look at themselves when they get ready for

722
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 1: the game on Sunday morning any differently than the Eagles

723
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: look at themselves. I think we're gonna go win this

724
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,919
Speaker 1: football game. You know what? Why who? It's just that's

725
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 1: what any football team thinks early in the season, because

726
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: you look at your record, you're like, well or oh, no,

727
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,399
Speaker 1: right or one and oh or one on one. It's

728
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 1: one thing. You start thinking you're a loser if you're

729
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: too and ten. But that's months away, so your margin.

730
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: Frere as a quarterback, like you gotta be on point

731
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: and just his mistakes. But but I think sometimes he's

732
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: just everything's gotta be so so like strong. It's so hard.

733
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: It's like, bro, you gotta be calm. Like you watch

734
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: Rogers and Russell in Mahomes. They can throw the dart right,

735
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: they can hit the deep ball, but they also have

736
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: no problem throwing a little wheel route, throwing a you know,

737
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: an on time, a little route over the middle that

738
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: takes a change up to throw. I think that's the

739
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: biggest thing Wentz has to work on, to not be

740
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: so powerful with everything. To be a great quarterback. You

741
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: could argue, actually don't need the great arm, you just

742
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,720
Speaker 1: need the accurate arm. But touch, touch is so big

743
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: with a quarterback. And I think when Wentz gets off

744
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: and that was a terrible loss for the Eagles, I mean,

745
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 1: being up huge against Washington, who I don't think many

746
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,399
Speaker 1: of us expect to be good though I think it's

747
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: fair to say their coach and even Jack Deel really

748
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: saw in in in Oakland, like, they will be tough,

749
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: they will be physical, They're not gonna just tap out.

750
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: And I think just Wentz made some inexcusable plays. And

751
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo I think had one of his worst games

752
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: as a fort He was inaccurate. Now his top two

753
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 1: receivers were out, But like I said, you pay him

754
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: twenty five million dollars, there are gonna be games and

755
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: moments where you have to overcome it. You're paying what

756
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 1: what I think is playing the worst defensive coordinator in

757
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: the league a vance, Joseph, Uh, they're gonna be plays debate,

758
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: and you have to hit guys. And I'm not just

759
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 1: talking about wide open guys which he missed. I'm talking

760
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 1: out when a running back is in the flat, not

761
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: throwing it behind him, so he has to catch the

762
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 1: ball and basically stop running, and then he gets tackled

763
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: because he couldn't hit the ball and stride like being

764
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,439
Speaker 1: an accurate quarterback. There's a reason Drew Brees gonna walk

765
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 1: right to the Hall of Fame. He's not tall, he

766
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: can't run, and he doesn't have a strong arm, but

767
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: every ball, for the most part, is in the majority

768
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 1: of his career right is pinpoint accuracy. You watch Russell

769
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 1: Wilson when he's on. It's just hitting guys in stride.

770
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: When you're throwing balls behind guys or getting guys over

771
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 1: the middle and you're throwing it at their hip as

772
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: they're running full speed, it's hard to make these plays.

773
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: Even in the NFL. It's easy to be like if

774
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: you touch it, clutch it. Well. If I'm a if

775
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: I run a four or four forty and I'm hauling

776
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: ass and I got a corner right behind me, and

777
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: I gotta reach back. Even if I do catch it,

778
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: I'm immediately to get tackled because I have to slow down.

779
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, a coach, when

780
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: it comes to the quarterback, like if I'm Kyle Shanahan

781
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: or I'm Doug Peterson, I scheme these guys open. Well,

782
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 1: if my guard gets smoked and my quarterback can't just

783
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: complete basic you know, out routes or in routes, you

784
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: know stuff intermediate in I got problems. And then when

785
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: the big plays are there to be hit, I gotta

786
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: hit him. And Jimmy Garoppolo missed under threw a ball,

787
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,240
Speaker 1: and I think, and I see this sometimes with Derek

788
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: Carr when they when you get a guy wide open,

789
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 1: I think sometimes quarterbacks who aren't the elite guys are

790
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 1: so terrified to miss him with a strike that they

791
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: throw like this lollipop, this lob pass. Well, the problem

792
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: with a lob pass when it's underthrown, it's the one

793
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,959
Speaker 1: ball that a dB that's ten yards behind the wide

794
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: receiver can catch up to and make a play on

795
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: the ball. If anything, I can live with overthrowing a guy,

796
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: especially if my wide receiver has a little room to

797
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,919
Speaker 1: kind of jump or run back and make a play.

798
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: I hate under thrown balls on wide open guys. I

799
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: I despise it because you have so much room behind him.

800
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: It's the only place that dB can make a play.

801
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 1: And Jimmy Garoppolo at Kendrick Born wide open in the

802
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: end zone and he under throw him, and Patrick Peterson

803
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 1: made a play on the ball, and that was basically

804
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: the game. And he was just bad. I mean, there's

805
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 1: just there's no way around it. We'll get into Kyler

806
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: Murray probably a little bit later, but Jimmy Garoppolo and

807
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz second half, it was just bad football for

808
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 1: guys that make like a combined fifty five million dollars.

809
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: It's just I heard Doug Peterson say it. He's probably

810
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: a little more candid than than Kyle on it. I mean,

811
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: I'll I use the same word. It's just unacceptable. You know,

812
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 1: it's one thing to lose and get beat and you

813
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: can miss a throw, but when you consistently miss throws

814
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: in the second half, it's one thing you know early

815
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: in the game not to have a rhythm. I get it,

816
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: but what you're a pro and you're a veteran player,

817
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: what you get in the flow of a game, and

818
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 1: you've been in the same offense. It's why I give

819
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: Tom Brady a little leeway. Never run this offense. They're

820
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: kind of like they're trying to mix all this stuff together.

821
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz and Jimmy Garoppolo, even Dak Prescott like they

822
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: got some new terminology. I'm sure McCarthy's doing some stuff.

823
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo and Carson Wentz and been talking the same

824
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 1: verbiage for years with their head coaches. So once you

825
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: get in the rhythm of it, especially the second half,

826
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,839
Speaker 1: you're sweating, you're coming out of the halftime, you're loosened up. Like,

827
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: my expectations for these guys are just higher. It's just

828
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,760
Speaker 1: it's not good enough, and it wasn't got them both beat. Okay,

829
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 1: let's do something. I get asked about this a lot,

830
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 1: like what's your biggest hit? What's your biggest miss? Is

831
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: a scout, and I thought I'd do something, And I

832
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,240
Speaker 1: didn't want to copy Colin. I mean, his his segment

833
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 1: of where Colin is right and where Colin is wrong,

834
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: it's just fantastic. So I thought I'd do a little something.

835
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: My hits and misses from the first week, because if

836
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: you listen to me, you know I got a lot

837
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: of bold takes. I just I say what I mean.

838
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 1: Let me rephrase that. I don't feel I have bold takes.

839
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,399
Speaker 1: I just I'm an opinionated guy. Give my opinion. I don't.

840
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 1: I have never said anything. You know, and I know

841
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: people in the media, at least the consumer feels that

842
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: a lot of guys just make ship up to take

843
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 1: a stance. I think if you listen to me for

844
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 1: long enough, you know I don't do That doesn't mean

845
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: I'm always right, but if I take a stance on something,

846
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: I truly leave it at the end of the day.

847
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: I'm talking about football. It's not like I'm talking about

848
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 1: life or death. Uh, start with my first hit. Rivers,

849
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: he's a liability. Now, his numbers didn't look that bad.

850
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: I haven't watched the entire game, but you lose to

851
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars, and I did see the final drive

852
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: away through a pick. Uh. Rivers just throws interceptions, you know,

853
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: and listen. I have nothing but respect for Philip rivers career.

854
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: I think he's just a tough s o B. I

855
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: think he's a passionate player, and I think when he

856
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: was on he's a badass. But he's thirty eight, thirty

857
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,720
Speaker 1: nine years old. He his arm is average at best

858
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: now and he just throws the ball to the other team.

859
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:43,800
Speaker 1: One thing is clear. When you throw interceptions, it's a killer.

860
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 1: It's a killer for Jamis Winston, it's a killer for

861
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, and it's clearly a killer for Philip Rivers.

862
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: And the problem for Philip is his interceptions seem to

863
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 1: come in the fourth quarter and he threw a pick

864
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: at the end of the game, and uh, the Colts lost,

865
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 1: and they also lost Marlon act Now. Luckily, part of

866
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 1: being a good GM is you know the thing with

867
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: the football, a strength can come become a liability immediately.

868
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: And so it looked like on paper, Marlon Mack and

869
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,280
Speaker 1: you draft Jonathan Taylor. Boom, it's a strength what Marlon

870
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,240
Speaker 1: mac tores Achilles. But that's why you draft Jonathan Taylor.

871
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: I'm a step up rook. Uh one miss. I've talked

872
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: a lot of ship about the Arizona Cardinals. I don't

873
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 1: believe they're a playoff team, and I might be wrong

874
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 1: on that. Now, let me let me say this. I

875
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,839
Speaker 1: still don't believe Cliff Kingsbury has ever won anything in

876
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:37,439
Speaker 1: his life as a coach, because he hasn't. Most wins

877
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 1: he's ever had in college was seven. They drafted what

878
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: in the top seven last season. I don't think his

879
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator is not very good. Here's where it might

880
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: be wrong. He deserves credit for Kyler Murray because the

881
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: GM had just drafted Josh Rosen and Josh Rosen. Now,

882
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: if you saw the picture I posted on my Instagram, Uh,

883
00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: watch the Saints Buccaneers games from the stain and in

884
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 1: his sweats. So they nailed that and Cliff gets to

885
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: meet all the credit like he pushed for that. He

886
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 1: got it. Kyler is a star, and sometimes when you

887
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:11,720
Speaker 1: have a quarterback who's a star, it can overcome the coach.

888
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: Now Cliff knows what he's doing offensively. That was never

889
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: a problem with Texas Tech. I just don't know what

890
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: their defense is good enough now, Buddha Baker, Tayler Jones

891
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: is good. Getting DeAndre Hopkins. The Niners couldn't cover him.

892
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: I mean DeAndre had fourteen for one fifty. I swear

893
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,240
Speaker 1: to God watching the game and felt like he had catches. Uh,

894
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: he's a monster. DeAndre is a star, a baller. But

895
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:34,479
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, their team is gonna

896
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: go as far as their quarterback, and their quarterback is

897
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: a stud. I love Kyler Murray. So while I diminished

898
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: Cliff and the coaching staff, I have never said anything

899
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 1: bad about Kyler. I think he pops and his he

900
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 1: has one negative and small, but he's it doesn't it

901
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 1: doesn't face him. He plays smart, he slides, he always hits.

902
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 1: He's a stud man. I I tipped my hat to him.

903
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: So that's that's a miss right now. He just went

904
00:44:57,760 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 1: on the road beat the Niners. That's that's a big

905
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: time win. I got a late touchdown to to win

906
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 1: that game, blocked up punt. I mean they played a

907
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: good game. They were they were legit. Tyrod Taylor. I've

908
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: been saying over and over and over. You start Tyrod Taylor,

909
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: you're not going to be very good. I get Anthony

910
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: Linn likes if you watch hard Knocks, he's a high

911
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 1: level guy. He's a first guy there. He's lifting when

912
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 1: it's dark. He's not a very good player. They have

913
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 1: really good players on offense, Keen and Alan Mike Williams.

914
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: Those two guys are ballers. Austin Neckler is a really

915
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 1: good running back. They have Hunter Henry. Like you just

916
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 1: drafted a guy. You don't even have to listen to me.

917
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: Their own team just drafted the guy six overall. His

918
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 1: name Justin Herbert. Justin Herbert. It's not Mr Bisky. He

919
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 1: wasn't a one year starter. He was a four year

920
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: starter at Oregon, a four year starter at Oregon. Pretty

921
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 1: sure he was a Rose Bowl MVP last year. Make

922
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 1: him the starter. Tyrode's a good backup. Let him be

923
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: a backup. Let Justin Herbert be a starter. Where I

924
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,839
Speaker 1: come from cal Pauly, we have a motto learned by

925
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 1: doing throw the guy in the deep end. You have

926
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: enough rafts and floaties that he's not gonna sink you get.

927
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: Your team is good enough, can't be any worse. I mean,

928
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 1: you could barely beat the Bengals, the Bengals who just

929
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 1: had the number one overall pick. Honestly, the Bengal should

930
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: have won that game. So I just as long as

931
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:19,359
Speaker 1: you start, Tyrod Taylor, I can't take you seriously. Where

932
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 1: I was wrong is is a miss. I took the

933
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 1: Browns to cover last week and the Browns not only

934
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: didn't cover I would say of all the teams in

935
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: the league, uh on Sunday, probably even more in the

936
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: Texans to on the Thursday night game. I'm recording this

937
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: part before the Monday night game. Is that the Browns

938
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 1: were a joke. I mean that that that was as

939
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 1: embarrassing of an effort as you'll see from a team.

940
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: It's one thing, you know, the Jags or the Giants

941
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: or the Jets, teams that I think any football fan,

942
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 1: especially a fan of that team, goes, listen, it sucks. Sucking.

943
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: I want my team to be good. But if you're

944
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: being real, like it's we understand in two thousand twenty,

945
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: teams that have talent, team they don't have talent, right.

946
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 1: The Browns have talent. They have a hundred million dollar

947
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,760
Speaker 1: pass rusher, they have the number one overall picket quarterback.

948
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 1: They have Odell Beckham, they have Jervis Lantry. They signed

949
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,800
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper, they got Nick Chubb and then they signed

950
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt. They signed a right tackle, they draft a

951
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: left tackle like they get a new coach. What I

952
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 1: mean these courts six points? Uh, Listen. I was way

953
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 1: wrong because I expected Baker Mayfield. Where I'm not wrong

954
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 1: on Baker Mayfield is he's a terrible player. Right now.

955
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: Someone needs to tell Baker Mayfield you are not an athlete.

956
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: When you step on a football field. Think of yourself

957
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 1: like Drew Brees, the fattest defensive line in the league

958
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: can catch you. You every time that you step on

959
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:48,280
Speaker 1: an NFL field for the rest of your life, every time,

960
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: not counting a kicker or punter, and even I would

961
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:53,879
Speaker 1: say the majority of those guys are better athletes. You're

962
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: gonna be the worst athlete on the field. Do you

963
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 1: know what Breeze and Rivers and Brady No, they know

964
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:02,839
Speaker 1: they're the worst athlete. They don't ever try to run

965
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:07,399
Speaker 1: away when it's not open, throw the ball away when

966
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 1: you're getting when you gotta pass, hit the ground. Every

967
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 1: time I looked up and I had that game on

968
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 1: h I guess that was in the morning, so I

969
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 1: actually only came on red zone. Not very much for

970
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 1: the Browns. I'd see these highlights of Baker Mayfield. It's

971
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,919
Speaker 1: like he's running around in the pocket, like, bro, what

972
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 1: are you doing? Come? John Harbaugh can catch you, let

973
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:31,879
Speaker 1: alone his defensive lineman. Stop running around Baker Mayfield. Listen,

974
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 1: I don't I hate this term because it gets thrown

975
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 1: out so often by media and it's just stupid. Like

976
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 1: once you get into year three and four, like I do,

977
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: think we can start throwing the bust word around. But

978
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 1: you were the number one overall pick and your offense

979
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 1: has talent. I can't believe. I I didn't actually put

980
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 1: money on that game, thank god. Uh, but I was

981
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 1: way off on that one. The Lions where a hit

982
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 1: from me. The Lions are just a terrible franchise. It's

983
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: just a It's just a trash franchise. And I just

984
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 1: they can't ever get it right hiring the right people.

985
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:11,399
Speaker 1: Because at the end of the day, no matter how

986
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 1: rich your owner is, no matter how glamorous your stadium is,

987
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 1: if you do not hire good gm and a good

988
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: head coach, you will lose. Like Jerry Jones, Uh, Robert Kraft,

989
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: all these guys that have unlimited money, they are they

990
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 1: don't control anything with football. Like the reason Robert Kraft

991
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 1: became a legend is he hired Bill Belichick. When Jerry

992
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 1: Jones had the most success, it was because of Jimmy Johnson.

993
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 1: This isn't that complicated. Of a formula. Jeffrey Lurie went

994
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:43,840
Speaker 1: from bad owner to immediately a good owner when he

995
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 1: hired Andy Reid, and then the moment he kicked Chip

996
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:49,880
Speaker 1: Kelly out of the building and gave Howe Rosman more juice,

997
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:53,240
Speaker 1: they became a critical franchise. Again. The reason Dan Snyder

998
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 1: always stinks up until now, I think with Ron Rivera,

999
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: he hires bad coaches, or when he hired a good

1000
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,800
Speaker 1: coach and Mike Shanahan, he micromanager and made it a disaster.

1001
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:05,720
Speaker 1: Jed York genius with hardball, more on with Tom Steula,

1002
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:09,720
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly, good owner again with Kyle Shanahan. You gotta

1003
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,720
Speaker 1: hire the right people, And for whatever reason, it feels

1004
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: like the majority of my life the Lions never hire

1005
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 1: the right guy. And now they got it's fair to say,

1006
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: the worst coats in the league. They were up twenty

1007
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: three to six against MS Rabinsky and lost the game.

1008
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of like a win win

1009
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 1: probability because it's like it's all just based on previous

1010
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 1: games about that game. Who knows, like weird things happen,

1011
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: But it's safe to say when you're up twenty three

1012
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,720
Speaker 1: to six in the fourth quarter at home against Mr Robinsky.

1013
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 1: The wind probability should be about and they lost. I mean,

1014
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 1: how does that happen? Uh? I don't know if this

1015
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 1: is quite a miss for me, but I've seen this

1016
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 1: guy's praises. I think he's a big time talent and

1017
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:58,839
Speaker 1: he's not playing very well. And I talked about him

1018
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier, but Carson Wentz was just was

1019
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 1: just not very good. He just to lose to Ron Rivera.

1020
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 1: And I'll take a little hit on this because as

1021
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: a positive, I've said, Ron Rivera's a grown up, he's

1022
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 1: a winner. Look what he did at Carolina, a joke franchise.

1023
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 1: When he got there, they had the number one pick.

1024
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,360
Speaker 1: And then I think four of the last eight years here,

1025
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 1: four in the last seven years he went to the playoffs.

1026
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 1: So I guess he'd missed it the last two when

1027
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 1: Cam got hurt, but he had a stretch I think

1028
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:30,319
Speaker 1: it was four or six years where they were going

1029
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,840
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. Like he's a he's a legitimate NFL

1030
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 1: head coach, and like Carson Wentz, you can't just you can't,

1031
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 1: like I said earlier, you can't try to force every

1032
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 1: ball with a hundred miles an hour power. You gotta

1033
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:47,839
Speaker 1: learn some touch. You don't need to throw deep all

1034
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 1: the time. I think last year when he started playing well,

1035
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,880
Speaker 1: he started having every pass in his in his arsenal,

1036
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,360
Speaker 1: the short little wheel routes, that the quick timing routes.

1037
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 1: And then because he has a huge arm. And I

1038
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: get if you have a huge arm. It's like, if

1039
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 1: you're a power hitter, you want to hit home runs.

1040
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 1: If you're Bryson d. Shambo, you want to hit three

1041
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,319
Speaker 1: on fifty yards. Sometimes in golf you need to pull

1042
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: out the three irons. Just hit the fairway two twenty

1043
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:12,399
Speaker 1: yards in front of you. You can't always hit There's

1044
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,919
Speaker 1: a reason Dustin Johnson's winning. He's fairways. He'll take something

1045
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 1: off it. There's a reason. Like you know some of

1046
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,799
Speaker 1: the great players. You know Barry Bonds in the peak

1047
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 1: of his powers, even though he was a home runner here,

1048
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 1: he was a great contact hitter. And I think sometimes

1049
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is just all or nothing, and you all

1050
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 1: or nothing with good coaches. And the one thing with

1051
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: the Redskins, excuse me, the Washington football team, it's hard,

1052
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 1: uh is that like they don't have just some joke

1053
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 1: coach anymore. This guy's team is gonna be tough, They're

1054
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 1: gonna play hard, They're definitely just not gonna quit. So

1055
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,879
Speaker 1: you gotta play smarter. Okay, let's touch on a couple

1056
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks at the end of the day. I say

1057
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: it all the time, for as good as your defense is,

1058
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:56,359
Speaker 1: as great as your pass rushes, if you don't have

1059
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 1: an above average quarterback, Like if you have a really

1060
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 1: good defense, you don't need Aaron Rods, but you need

1061
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 1: like the Niners last year, Jimmy Garoppolo the second half

1062
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 1: of the season played really well. You can't win the

1063
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 1: foot in the NFL with a low level quarterback, no

1064
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 1: matter how good your team is, Like, he has to

1065
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,839
Speaker 1: be operating at like a top fifteen level. It's why

1066
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins he can win when your team's good. Jimmy Garoppolo,

1067
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 1: he can win when your team is good. And like

1068
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:24,319
Speaker 1: his team wasn't as good yesterday, Jimmy Garoppol lost Trabisky.

1069
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: If I if I have an angry tweet mid game,

1070
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:29,880
Speaker 1: usually because I have money on the game and I

1071
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:33,240
Speaker 1: had a partlay this weekend, I had the Raiders minus

1072
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 1: three kind of just swept that one out. Though it

1073
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 1: was pretty clear the Raiders were much better than the Panthers.

1074
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:40,360
Speaker 1: Their defense just pretty questionable. But the Raiders offense is

1075
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: gonna be pretty good. And I had the Lions, or

1076
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,359
Speaker 1: excuse me, I had the Bears. I think I got

1077
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 1: him at h plus three. I think that closed at

1078
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 1: three and a half. Now again, a little biased, but

1079
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 1: I believe in my guy, Naggy Trabisky. I was just

1080
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 1: open minded. Maybe it improved a little bit, we'll see,

1081
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 1: and then they're down basically twenty three to six in

1082
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 1: the second half. Trap Whisky is just a grocious, I

1083
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 1: mean awful overthrowing balls, skipping balls. Look like the Mr

1084
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:10,280
Speaker 1: Whisky from two thousand nineteen. And somehow, you know, texting

1085
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 1: with a couple of guys, you just he hit a

1086
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:14,399
Speaker 1: throw and he just got a little confidence, and then

1087
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 1: down the stretch he was basically twelve and sixteen, three touchdowns.

1088
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 1: In the fourth quarter. He was exceptional. I mean he looked,

1089
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 1: he looked really good. And I'm not saying Trabisky turned

1090
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 1: the corner, but I I do think like any player,

1091
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:30,200
Speaker 1: because Tramisky has physical skills, he has a powerful arm,

1092
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 1: and he's a good athlete. His problem he's inaccurate, and

1093
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:36,719
Speaker 1: I think something a guy like him, the Bears have

1094
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:38,920
Speaker 1: to find a way. And this is why Naggie and

1095
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 1: John d filipp all these guys get paid all this

1096
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 1: money to get him confidence, because when he's confident, he's

1097
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 1: not terrible. And their defense is clearly good enough that

1098
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 1: if you just get middle of the road quarterback play,

1099
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 1: you can win with Miller, with Allen Robinson, they got

1100
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:55,840
Speaker 1: some playmakers, they're gonna have a run game as the

1101
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 1: season goes on, and their defense is just really good.

1102
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 1: So if you can just get top twenty quarterback play,

1103
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 1: because the first half worst quarterback in the league, beside

1104
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 1: Baker Baker Mayfield, I'd say after Week one, worst quarterback

1105
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 1: in the league, I would put Mr. Whisky through halftime,

1106
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:14,319
Speaker 1: probably even third quarter, second worst quarterback in the league.

1107
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 1: Then somehow he looked like Stafford in the fourth quarter. Now,

1108
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 1: you're not gonna always get that tram Wisky, But if

1109
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 1: you can just find a way to get the guy

1110
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:23,880
Speaker 1: confident just so he can make half the plays that

1111
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:26,879
Speaker 1: he's missing, you'll be okay. You'll give yourself a little

1112
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:29,799
Speaker 1: more potency in the in the passing game, and your

1113
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 1: defense is good, then you'll be fine. Josh Allen, I

1114
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 1: think you saw it yesterday, like it kind of looks

1115
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 1: like he's taking another step. I know there was the

1116
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:39,240
Speaker 1: past in the back of the end zone that win viral.

1117
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 1: Did he overthrow? Did he over I mean he didn't

1118
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:44,319
Speaker 1: just air mail and he threw it in like the

1119
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:47,360
Speaker 1: second row. Uh, this like the second he threw it

1120
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,359
Speaker 1: over the first bowl. I mean the guy was wide

1121
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 1: open the back of the end zone. He's roll into

1122
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 1: his left terrible throw. It's okay, you can have terrible throws.

1123
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:57,799
Speaker 1: He rushed it. I bet he if he just took

1124
00:55:57,800 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 1: a deep breath, set his feet, it would have been

1125
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 1: a lay up throw. But you look at his numbers.

1126
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 1: He was thirty three or forty six three and twelve

1127
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. I just I watched a lot

1128
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:07,920
Speaker 1: of that game. I just you know, this guy is

1129
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 1: pretty good and once him and Dix can get on

1130
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 1: the same page, he could be really potent. Like I

1131
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 1: think it's clear of that draft class three years ago,

1132
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is clearly the best quarterback in that draft class.

1133
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:23,400
Speaker 1: Josh right now is solidified at number two, and then

1134
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 1: would probably be Sam which also in that game. I

1135
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:30,400
Speaker 1: don't know what to make of Sam Donald because I

1136
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:32,799
Speaker 1: do like his physical attributes. I liked him a lot

1137
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 1: coming out of college. But he is in a train

1138
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 1: wreck franchise, I mean a just trash franchise right now.

1139
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 1: I think every Jets fan would agree with that. I'm

1140
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 1: not talking about your history or even the brand, because

1141
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 1: there's there's some history there. The brand, if they're good,

1142
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: is fantastic the New York market. But what they got

1143
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:53,319
Speaker 1: going on right now, and it's not Joe Douglas's fault.

1144
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:56,800
Speaker 1: Adam Gaze is just an awful head coach. It doesn't

1145
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:58,719
Speaker 1: look like they have that much talent around and that's

1146
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:00,760
Speaker 1: part of that is Mike mccagney, the team he built.

1147
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:03,800
Speaker 1: Levian Bell, who got hurt yesterday, is just not good.

1148
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:07,880
Speaker 1: Frank Gore, who I love, I am a Frank Gore

1149
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 1: stand he should not be in the NFL right now.

1150
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 1: He had six carries for twenty four yards. Like, if

1151
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 1: you just look around the league, you don't need to

1152
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 1: draft Clyde Edwards Hilaire in the first round. Though, if

1153
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 1: you're the Chiefs, you just kick everyone's alf of them.

1154
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: You can find guys in the middle of the round

1155
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:28,600
Speaker 1: that are immediately just starting running backs. The Niners. They're

1156
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 1: rolling out Raheem Motzort, the Brams, Malcolm Brown, the Seattle

1157
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:38,920
Speaker 1: Chris Carson, like young, vibrant backs, and they're stuck with Frank,

1158
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: who's wailed again. I respect the hell out of Frank

1159
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 1: and Levian Bell, who just stinks. And then you look

1160
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 1: at their wide receivers. You know, Crowder had the one

1161
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:51,440
Speaker 1: big play, they got nothing else, and you just look across,

1162
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:54,720
Speaker 1: you know the field. The Bill's add digs they already

1163
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 1: had drawn Brown Cole Beasley is a solid slot receiver.

1164
00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 1: They can throw it to Singletary the running back al

1165
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 1: and can run. That's the one big difference between Alan

1166
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 1: and Donald. Like Alan is a pretty potent runner. At

1167
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:07,919
Speaker 1: any moment, he could bust out a twenty yard run.

1168
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 1: That's why I like playing him in daily fantasy because

1169
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 1: he can get you a couple of passing touchdowns. He

1170
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: get your rushing touchdown, especially in those boot plays. He's

1171
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 1: like the poor man's cam. So you know, Mitch is

1172
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:23,760
Speaker 1: a major work in progress. He surely showed some signs

1173
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 1: of life because he does have some physical attributes. His

1174
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 1: just downfall. He's he's inaccurate, and that can be a deadly,

1175
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 1: deadly downfall. But when he does get in a rhythm,

1176
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, Mitch is pretty good quarterback right now.

1177
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 1: Granted he was playing Alliance. But next week they played

1178
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 1: the Giants, and then they play the Falcons. There's a

1179
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 1: chance Mitch, like the Bears could start three and Oh

1180
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 1: the Bills, I mean, are just gonna be good. The

1181
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 1: Jets are are gonna be awful. I mean, the Jets

1182
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:53,920
Speaker 1: play the Niners this week, the Niners coming off a loss.

1183
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 1: I haven't I haven't seen the line yet. My guests

1184
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 1: would be six or seven points. The Niners should destroy

1185
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 1: of the Jets. I don't see how the Jets score

1186
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 1: on them. And I don't see how the Jets stopped

1187
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 1: the fort I mean, the Jets just let me pull

1188
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 1: up their schedule right now. They got the Niners loss

1189
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 1: at the Colts. I don't even love the Colts, But

1190
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:16,160
Speaker 1: how are the Jets gonna be the Colts? The Broncos again,

1191
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 1: recording this before the Monday night games this part, so

1192
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 1: I don't know how they'll look. But the Broncos have

1193
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:23,000
Speaker 1: way more talent than the Cardinals and the Chargers and

1194
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 1: the Bills and the Chiefs and the Patriots. There's a

1195
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 1: chance the Jets don't win many games. Oh my god.

1196
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 1: They They've got a couple of games with the Dolphins.

1197
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 1: Who the Dolphins are better, the Raiders, Seattle, the Rams,

1198
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:40,440
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Again, I mean, it's just Jets are in

1199
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 1: for a long season, man, and Sam Donald probably not

1200
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:46,600
Speaker 1: gonna have very good numbers. People are gonna question it.

1201
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to make excuses for the guy, but

1202
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 1: he's had I think what we all agree, probably the

1203
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 1: worst coach right now in the NFL, if not, I

1204
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:58,080
Speaker 1: mean top bottom three, him or Patricia. He has a

1205
00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 1: franchise that's just like the Lions and shambles. Now. Stafford

1206
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 1: is good enough to overcome that, and they got some weapons.

1207
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 1: Donald's not. He's young, he's inexperienced. They don't have any

1208
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 1: weapons around him. Um, and the Bills are just kind

1209
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 1: of in the driver's seat to win that division. Okay,

1210
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 1: let me um. I gotta go off about this because

1211
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 1: I saw it. Definitely started with the Raider game. Gruden

1212
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 1: didn't really wear his mask. He has his mask around

1213
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:26,600
Speaker 1: his chin the whole time. Then the Niners game, Kyle

1214
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 1: Cliff did not have a mask on, and then the

1215
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 1: night game Sean McVeigh never had his mask over his face,

1216
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 1: and I wake up this morning Chefter tweet and like,

1217
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 1: I couldn't sleep last night. Maybe I'm just so giddy

1218
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 1: off football. On Monday morning, Schefter has his tweet that

1219
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 1: the league, led by I think Troy Vincent, who's like

1220
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 1: one of Roger Goodell's right hand man, sends out a

1221
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:50,800
Speaker 1: memo kind of saying like, hey, guys, for those of

1222
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:52,600
Speaker 1: you that didn't wear the mask, and a lot of guys,

1223
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 1: I think that's why Andy Reid wore the feast face shield.

1224
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 1: He knew he'd take it off. I'll give Bill O'Brien credit,

1225
01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:01,440
Speaker 1: he wore it the whole time. Uh, Jerry didn't have

1226
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 1: one on, but who cares? Most coaches it felt like

1227
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 1: was a kid or miss. Here's my overall issue. I

1228
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 1: think optics are the most overrated thing, just in sports,

1229
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:15,680
Speaker 1: but in any business. Optics like what what the media thinks?

1230
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 1: Who cares what John Middlecoff saying about you? Now? Granted,

1231
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say anything bad because I think it's

1232
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 1: so stupid. I've seen the same thing with the NBA.

1233
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 1: All these guys are tested every single day. There is

1234
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:33,960
Speaker 1: not anyone on that football field that hasn't been tested

1235
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 1: for forty five straight days. No one has corona on

1236
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 1: the field. Now I don't know all the rules with

1237
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 1: the referees, but I would be shocked if they're not

1238
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 1: also not getting tested daily because you couldn't afford bringing

1239
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 1: one of those guys in having it on. The NFL

1240
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:49,960
Speaker 1: has billions of dollars on the line. It's why they have.

1241
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 1: I did some numbers, probably between fifteen and twenty million

1242
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:56,880
Speaker 1: dollars a month to test everybody that the NFL is

1243
01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:58,440
Speaker 1: spending a ton of money to make sure no one

1244
01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:01,000
Speaker 1: has the coronavirus. And the way that you find out

1245
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:02,760
Speaker 1: is you test every day. In the moment someone has it,

1246
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:05,800
Speaker 1: you quarantine him or whatever. Right, it's not that complicated.

1247
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:08,720
Speaker 1: The NBA. Same thing. It's why I never understood in

1248
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 1: the NBA coaches. Their coaches taken off all the time,

1249
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 1: but they have players like I remember in the first

1250
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 1: round series of the Clippers, Patrick Beverley plays in Game one,

1251
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 1: Game two, he gets hurt, so he's out and he

1252
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 1: has to wear a mask on the sideline. It's like

1253
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 1: he was literally just on the court, sweating and diving

1254
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 1: on everyone. Now he tweets his ankle, he's off the

1255
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 1: court where has to wear a mask. Then a couple

1256
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:32,920
Speaker 1: of games later he's back, not wearing a mask on

1257
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 1: the court. What are are we worried that, like people

1258
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:38,120
Speaker 1: in the mainstream media are gonna freak out, you guys

1259
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 1: are all tested. Why are we making a big deal

1260
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:43,960
Speaker 1: of this? Now? The counter my own argument of just

1261
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:47,080
Speaker 1: I think the whole thing is worried too much. What

1262
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:50,080
Speaker 1: people are gonna think? I do understand from the league's perspective,

1263
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 1: the games are paying for everything, so the money is

1264
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:57,280
Speaker 1: all coming from the games, So under no circumstances would

1265
01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 1: you want an outbreak on just something you can't control.

1266
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 1: So I I do get them for being over the top,

1267
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:05,640
Speaker 1: but I also understand. I saw jar Gruden say. Gruden

1268
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:07,520
Speaker 1: was like, it's a hundred degrees and superhuman. I could

1269
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:10,480
Speaker 1: barely breathe. I get tested every day. I gotta do

1270
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 1: a better job. But like, I'm gonna pull it back down.

1271
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 1: What are you gonna find these guys fift for not

1272
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:18,480
Speaker 1: wearing a mask. They don't have the coronavirus. We know

1273
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 1: for a fact you couldn't test these guys anymore. It's

1274
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 1: not even humanly possible. And I'm not some anti masker.

1275
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:27,240
Speaker 1: I follow the rules. You tell me to wear a mask,

1276
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:29,440
Speaker 1: and wear a mask. I approach it like anything else.

1277
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:30,920
Speaker 1: You tell me to wear shoes in your restaurant, I

1278
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:33,520
Speaker 1: wear it. I just follow the rules, and I get

1279
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:36,120
Speaker 1: these are technically the rules. But I can understand from

1280
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:38,960
Speaker 1: the coach's perspective, like guys, I'm tested every day. I

1281
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 1: need to talk to my players, I need to come.

1282
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:44,919
Speaker 1: I'm the play caller. I I want to speak into

1283
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:48,920
Speaker 1: the mic. So I I just I think this is

1284
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:51,240
Speaker 1: kind of a tough spot for the league trying to

1285
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:54,560
Speaker 1: crack down because they're terrified there. It's all about money.

1286
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 1: They don't want anything to happen, which I completely I'm

1287
01:03:57,760 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 1: I'm as pro business anyone. You're ever gonna hear the

1288
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:03,240
Speaker 1: talks for a living in the talks about sports. So

1289
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:06,200
Speaker 1: I get it. But I also understand, like I understood

1290
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:09,040
Speaker 1: why Cliff Kingsby and Kyle didn't have their mask on.

1291
01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 1: Like what, I've had something stuck up my nose for

1292
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 1: forty five straight days. Every day. I do not have

1293
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:17,919
Speaker 1: the coronavirus. Every single one of my coaches, every single

1294
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:19,520
Speaker 1: one of my trainers, every single one of my players.

1295
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 1: Same thing. The Niners, for example, Fred Warner got it,

1296
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:25,200
Speaker 1: put them on put them on COVID list for like

1297
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:28,760
Speaker 1: twelve days he was gone. So I mean it's like

1298
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:30,919
Speaker 1: we know immediately when a guy has it and they're

1299
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:33,520
Speaker 1: not allowed. So it's just one of those things, Like

1300
01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:37,680
Speaker 1: I I think optics is just the most overplayed thing

1301
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 1: in business. What people on the the consumer speaks and

1302
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 1: clearly no one in the NFL. I think there was

1303
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 1: also a report on Monday morning, like the NFL has

1304
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:48,920
Speaker 1: not had a positive test like a week like it

1305
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:51,600
Speaker 1: just the NFL knows what they're doing in terms of

1306
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:53,440
Speaker 1: the players and the coaches, like they're all fall on

1307
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 1: the rules, and partly they immediately know when some guys

1308
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:59,040
Speaker 1: has it, you immediately sent him to quarantine. This isn't

1309
01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:01,600
Speaker 1: this is the rocket scigns here and the NFL has

1310
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:03,959
Speaker 1: got it down pat. But to act like you're gonna

1311
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:05,560
Speaker 1: find these guys that they got to pull down their

1312
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 1: mass to call a play, to me, it's kind of stupid. Okay,

1313
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 1: let's bang out a couple of questions from the Middlecoff

1314
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 1: mail bag. Um At John Middlecoff is my Instagram d

1315
01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:19,160
Speaker 1: M s open welcome to come on in and interact

1316
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:21,640
Speaker 1: on the show. Hey dude, big fan of the pot.

1317
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:25,480
Speaker 1: When are the pundits finally gonna give up on Carson Wentz.

1318
01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:27,960
Speaker 1: I'm watching him get owned by the Washington football team.

1319
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:30,680
Speaker 1: Never gets weird saying that, and you can almost here

1320
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 1: Coward defending him Monday morning. I'm not an expert, but

1321
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:36,960
Speaker 1: seems like he's either injured or is frankly pretty lack luster.

1322
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:40,280
Speaker 1: He has a big arm, but it mass poor decision making,

1323
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:46,240
Speaker 1: like rolling out of the pocket way before it breaks down. Yeah,

1324
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:49,800
Speaker 1: he he wasn't good in the second half, just bottom line,

1325
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:51,520
Speaker 1: and really to end that first half when he threw

1326
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:53,720
Speaker 1: that pick and I think it didn't lead to a touchdown.

1327
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:57,320
Speaker 1: I talked about it earlier. He just I thought he

1328
01:05:57,360 --> 01:05:58,720
Speaker 1: had a lot of mojo going at the end of

1329
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:02,120
Speaker 1: last season. I yet he was playing shitty teams, the

1330
01:06:02,160 --> 01:06:04,800
Speaker 1: divisional teams basically. I think he played either the Giants

1331
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:07,800
Speaker 1: or Washington twice and then one of the other ones

1332
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:10,080
Speaker 1: once and then obviously that Cowboy game, and he just

1333
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:12,880
Speaker 1: he played well and he got his mojo back going

1334
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:15,280
Speaker 1: into that playoff game. Against Seattle and then Clowney hit

1335
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:18,120
Speaker 1: him and clearly he got hurt. In this training camp,

1336
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:21,880
Speaker 1: that game was weird. Right now, he's more talent than

1337
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:24,400
Speaker 1: he is football player, and it's it's sad because he

1338
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:27,400
Speaker 1: is really talented. Even if you're kind of out on Carson,

1339
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:29,720
Speaker 1: I think we all can admit that. I think someone

1340
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 1: send me a d M like compared him to Jeff George.

1341
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:36,200
Speaker 1: I wouldn't go that far, but yeah, I mean that

1342
01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:38,320
Speaker 1: there's an elephant in the room with him. They can't

1343
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:40,840
Speaker 1: really be argued right because we've seen his high end.

1344
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 1: Unlike Donald or Baker, It's like those guys haven't done anything. Carson.

1345
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:47,720
Speaker 1: We saw him play at m VP level. We saw

1346
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:49,480
Speaker 1: they were the number one seat, and then he got

1347
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:51,200
Speaker 1: hurt and it's just kind of been weird ever since.

1348
01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:54,680
Speaker 1: Can you give an assessment on Sam Donald. I know

1349
01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:57,000
Speaker 1: he doesn't have weapons, Gaze is a bad coach, and

1350
01:06:57,040 --> 01:06:59,520
Speaker 1: the line has not been good. Still, should Jets fans

1351
01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 1: be worried? He doesn't seem to have a presence on

1352
01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:03,160
Speaker 1: the field in terms of being able to get guys

1353
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:06,240
Speaker 1: lined up or make plays. He often seems nervous, indecisive,

1354
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:08,640
Speaker 1: and not willing to take a hit if this year continue,

1355
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:10,960
Speaker 1: should the Jets move on? The whole roster is a

1356
01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:15,760
Speaker 1: mess anyway. I feel bad for fans of just crappy teams.

1357
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 1: You know, we don't like we get to pick our

1358
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,560
Speaker 1: job in theory. I mean, you can, if you hit

1359
01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:23,480
Speaker 1: your job, you can always quit and go pick another job,

1360
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:25,400
Speaker 1: or at least, you know, try to do something different.

1361
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:28,920
Speaker 1: We get to pick our mate in theory, you know,

1362
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:33,080
Speaker 1: our significant other whoever we want a date or mary.

1363
01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:35,800
Speaker 1: But we don't really get to pick our team, right,

1364
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 1: We're just born. Like when I was born, my dad

1365
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:40,360
Speaker 1: was a big forty Niner fan, and I was just

1366
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:43,520
Speaker 1: born in northern California, so I was either probably gonna

1367
01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:45,720
Speaker 1: like the Giants or the A's or the Kings or

1368
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:48,240
Speaker 1: the Warriors. Like I wasn't gonna end up liking like

1369
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:51,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys or the Yankees. Right, if you're born in Ohio,

1370
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 1: you're just probably gonna like the Bengals or the Browns.

1371
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 1: If you're born in Philly, you're just gonna like the Eagles.

1372
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:59,040
Speaker 1: It's just or the Sixers or whatever. We're just we'll

1373
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:02,439
Speaker 1: tend to like where we're born. And we clearly don't

1374
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 1: determine where we're born. So if you're born, I don't

1375
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 1: exactly know. I've only been in New York a couple

1376
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:09,080
Speaker 1: of times. How it breaks down, But clearly Jets are

1377
01:08:09,160 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 1: Giants fan. You don't get to choose that. Now. If

1378
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:13,240
Speaker 1: I if you were my age thirty five, you've been

1379
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 1: a Giants fan. You had a pretty good run. Right.

1380
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 1: You want a couple of Super Bowls in your adult

1381
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:19,559
Speaker 1: life and it hasn't sucked. If you're a Jets fan,

1382
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:22,320
Speaker 1: you go, why is God doing this to us? And

1383
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:26,360
Speaker 1: I say, I don't know. Okay, I believe Sam Donald

1384
01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 1: like Wentz is talented. Now Wentz has proven way more

1385
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:32,720
Speaker 1: in the league. The Jets are a mess. To me,

1386
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:37,920
Speaker 1: it's really really hard to judge a quarterback in this situation.

1387
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:40,439
Speaker 1: The coach is a dead man walking. Do you have

1388
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:43,080
Speaker 1: one offensive player that you would feel good about on

1389
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:46,320
Speaker 1: like a high level playoff team beside the young left

1390
01:08:46,360 --> 01:08:49,760
Speaker 1: tackle serious, maybe the tight end you know, I mean

1391
01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 1: the running Frank Gore. I talked about him earlier. I

1392
01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:57,920
Speaker 1: just I don't know to me that one's tough that

1393
01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:00,200
Speaker 1: you know the grades, like when you're in element three

1394
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 1: school and you get like a B C, D or

1395
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:05,360
Speaker 1: D or or f right or just even in high school.

1396
01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:09,000
Speaker 1: And then there's one like incomplete, I n C. I

1397
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 1: just I'd give it an incomplete. I don't even know

1398
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:15,839
Speaker 1: what to even say at this point, Like it's easier

1399
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:18,439
Speaker 1: to make judgments on Josh Allen right, see him with

1400
01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:22,400
Speaker 1: good players, you see him making improvements, you see his talent.

1401
01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 1: It's just like you kind of see it all, even

1402
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:27,200
Speaker 1: though there's things that be desired, even like Drew lock tonight,

1403
01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:29,200
Speaker 1: You're like, Okay, I see the talent. I see him

1404
01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:32,040
Speaker 1: moving around, seeing with Judy is dropping some balls and

1405
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:35,280
Speaker 1: Melvin Melvin Gordon and I just know a fan, I'm like, okay,

1406
01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:38,080
Speaker 1: I can see this right. It's like I watched Sam

1407
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 1: Darland's like I don't even know. I love the pod

1408
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:45,840
Speaker 1: looks like the best team in the NFC West. The

1409
01:09:45,880 --> 01:09:48,560
Speaker 1: forty Niners got beat by the most overrated team in

1410
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:51,040
Speaker 1: the NFL, the Cardinals. Question does this make you change

1411
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 1: your opinion on the Bird Gang? And some of what

1412
01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:55,479
Speaker 1: makes you pull back on the forty Niners? Usually the

1413
01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:57,479
Speaker 1: team that loses Super Bowl does not make the playoffs

1414
01:09:57,640 --> 01:09:59,680
Speaker 1: the following year. Also with Hopkins and the genius of

1415
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:02,000
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury, you know, the coach that has never won

1416
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:04,160
Speaker 1: more in seven games in a season. Cardinals look like

1417
01:10:04,240 --> 01:10:06,519
Speaker 1: a contender. I know it's Week one, but it's time

1418
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:09,480
Speaker 1: to stop the Red Bird hate and jump on the bandwagon.

1419
01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, one of my favorite players in the league,

1420
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:16,600
Speaker 1: said earlier, I love Kyler. I think I spoke on

1421
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:18,840
Speaker 1: this earlier. My take on the forty nine ers is

1422
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:22,639
Speaker 1: they got a shipload injuries. I mean, as of earlier today.

1423
01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:24,559
Speaker 1: Kittle now has a spraying knee. Who knows if he

1424
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:26,640
Speaker 1: plays this week. They're lucky they play the Jets and

1425
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:29,479
Speaker 1: the Giants the next two weeks. Uh. Deebo Samuel had

1426
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:32,400
Speaker 1: a setback last week. That's not ideal. Their wide receiver

1427
01:10:32,479 --> 01:10:34,839
Speaker 1: snak I mean Dante Pettis, I would have cut yesterday.

1428
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:38,160
Speaker 1: Trent Taylor was good like three years ago, I I

1429
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:40,920
Speaker 1: would He's not any good now. Kendrick Borne is the

1430
01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:44,320
Speaker 1: only decent receiver they have, but in in reality he's

1431
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:46,200
Speaker 1: a third wide receiver, but he's the best wide receiver

1432
01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:49,800
Speaker 1: they have that's healthy now. Kittles limping around. It's just

1433
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:53,360
Speaker 1: the Niners have some short term issues. They just can't

1434
01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 1: stay healthy, and their quarterbacks off and their defense. It's

1435
01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:59,240
Speaker 1: still really good relative to the NFL, but it's not

1436
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:00,840
Speaker 1: as good as it was last year. I mean, the

1437
01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:03,519
Speaker 1: defense helped carry them to an eight no record. You know,

1438
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:07,080
Speaker 1: I don't know the pass rush. I mean, Boss is dominant,

1439
01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:09,240
Speaker 1: but it's like he can only do so much. You know,

1440
01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:12,040
Speaker 1: Buckner's gone. Eric Armstead is not gonna be as good

1441
01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:15,280
Speaker 1: without Buckner de Ford who even knows kin laws of

1442
01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:18,360
Speaker 1: work in progress? So yeah, I mean, as I say

1443
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:20,360
Speaker 1: it all the time, if I think Kyle Shanahan's an

1444
01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:24,320
Speaker 1: elite coach, they'll make the playoffs. It's really that simple. Uh.

1445
01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:27,840
Speaker 1: And I you know, listen, you got Kyler Murrain. He's

1446
01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:30,800
Speaker 1: that good. Maybe I should, Maybe I should shut my mouth.

1447
01:11:31,479 --> 01:11:34,160
Speaker 1: Huge fan of the show, A huge cowboy fans here,

1448
01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:36,719
Speaker 1: A true one, not like the other ones in the opener.

1449
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:39,679
Speaker 1: Offense look proficient right, tackling tight end being the two

1450
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:43,320
Speaker 1: glaring holes, but the defense is seriously lacking. After seeing

1451
01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:46,679
Speaker 1: Week one's performance, do you think Dallas front office maybe

1452
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:49,320
Speaker 1: having second thoughts of saving capit him that signing a

1453
01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:51,800
Speaker 1: stud dB? Do you believe the need is great enough

1454
01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:53,599
Speaker 1: for a mid season signing trade or do you think

1455
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:57,720
Speaker 1: the secondary can be sharpened up and be serviceable? Yeah?

1456
01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:00,960
Speaker 1: I mean what was the final score TWI team? Like,

1457
01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:04,200
Speaker 1: it's just I wouldn't be that worried now vander Esh

1458
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:06,519
Speaker 1: breaking his collar bone and probably who knows out for

1459
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:08,599
Speaker 1: the season. He's a neck his collar bone. He's always

1460
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:11,800
Speaker 1: having issues. That's a pretty big issue. Alden Smith was

1461
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:14,799
Speaker 1: a badass. To me, their offense needs to be more potent.

1462
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:17,559
Speaker 1: I I never understood the hiring of Mike Nolan. I

1463
01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:19,559
Speaker 1: get he put Mike McCarthy on the map, but you

1464
01:12:19,600 --> 01:12:22,559
Speaker 1: cannot hire Mike Nolan two to be your defensive coordinator.

1465
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:24,479
Speaker 1: I hated that, Like the Tom seu Le hire and

1466
01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:26,679
Speaker 1: if you look, their defensive line is gonna be fine.

1467
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:29,880
Speaker 1: To me, their offense needs to dominate that they need

1468
01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:33,559
Speaker 1: to score thirty points a game. And would with Zeke,

1469
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:38,320
Speaker 1: with Dak, with CD, with Gallup, like even with the

1470
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:40,679
Speaker 1: tight end tearing his a c L which sucks because

1471
01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:43,280
Speaker 1: that guy is pretty talented. They should dominate. I mean,

1472
01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:46,720
Speaker 1: Zeke looks in fantastic shape, like there's just to me,

1473
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:49,479
Speaker 1: Dak leaves a little something to be desired, like there's

1474
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:52,760
Speaker 1: I watched Dak and go, I like Dak, but I

1475
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:55,880
Speaker 1: can understand where if I was running the Cowboys, where

1476
01:12:55,920 --> 01:12:57,599
Speaker 1: i'd I'd be hesitant, like do I want to pay

1477
01:12:57,600 --> 01:12:59,679
Speaker 1: this guy? Everyone in the media is like, you gotta

1478
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:03,519
Speaker 1: pay him? I do? Why? What? What's what am I

1479
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:06,680
Speaker 1: winning with that? Do I actually have to pay him?

1480
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:09,960
Speaker 1: Because I don't think I do, because I'll play this

1481
01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:12,680
Speaker 1: year to year. You know, it might be closer to

1482
01:13:12,760 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, say what you want. The one thing Washington

1483
01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:17,760
Speaker 1: gets a lot of credit on over the last four

1484
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:19,680
Speaker 1: or five years is people go, you know what, they

1485
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:22,240
Speaker 1: played the Kirk Cousins situation, right, Kirk Cusins is fine,

1486
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:24,320
Speaker 1: you made the playoffs last year in Minnesota, and you

1487
01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:25,920
Speaker 1: know what, Dak probably would have made the playoffs with

1488
01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:28,519
Speaker 1: Kirk in Minnesota. Do you know why? Because Minnesota's team

1489
01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:30,760
Speaker 1: last year was stacked? You know who else would made

1490
01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:34,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs with Minnesota? Every quarterback that's like a top

1491
01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:40,240
Speaker 1: eighteen quarterback would have you gave Rogers or Stafford or

1492
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:43,920
Speaker 1: you know, Russell Wilson or Mahomes Minnesota. The last couple

1493
01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:47,960
Speaker 1: of years they dominated, they'd win fourteen games. So, like,

1494
01:13:48,120 --> 01:13:50,240
Speaker 1: would Dak have been any different than Kirk Cousins. I

1495
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:54,800
Speaker 1: don't know. Again, I'm a Dak fan, but I'm not

1496
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:57,920
Speaker 1: saying he's the problem. But are we sure he's the solution.

1497
01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:03,280
Speaker 1: Regarding the Eagles injuries year over year, I think they

1498
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:06,040
Speaker 1: are currently down eight of twenty two starters. Have you

1499
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:08,920
Speaker 1: seen anything like this and at what point should you finger?

1500
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:11,880
Speaker 1: The staff in the front office would also appreciate your

1501
01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:15,360
Speaker 1: take on the Eagles meltdown against Washington General. I had

1502
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:18,719
Speaker 1: someone else d m me this. I listen in my backyard.

1503
01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:21,360
Speaker 1: The Niners have had a ton of injuries the last

1504
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:24,280
Speaker 1: several years that they are borderline hand in hand with

1505
01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:27,000
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Maybe the Eagles have one more, but the

1506
01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:30,320
Speaker 1: Niners are not far behind. I'm just I just went

1507
01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:33,599
Speaker 1: to a state school with California. I'm not a medical grad,

1508
01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:37,479
Speaker 1: so I don't pretend to know what causes injuries and

1509
01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:39,840
Speaker 1: what I'm not a strength coach. I don't get it.

1510
01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:42,240
Speaker 1: I've just been around in the front offices. I've talked

1511
01:14:42,240 --> 01:14:44,320
Speaker 1: a lot about it. I obviously watched this stuff closely.

1512
01:14:44,920 --> 01:14:48,160
Speaker 1: My expert opinion would be at somewhat random, like there

1513
01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:51,479
Speaker 1: is no chance I I know how much money. For example,

1514
01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:54,679
Speaker 1: of the Eagles spent I've seen it. They spent every

1515
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:58,720
Speaker 1: possible penny on doctors, on training, on the scouting, on

1516
01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:01,640
Speaker 1: the whole deal, and the coaching, whatever it takes to

1517
01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:06,160
Speaker 1: get guys in pristine shape ability practice to get ready

1518
01:15:06,160 --> 01:15:09,080
Speaker 1: for these games. So I no one wants anyone to

1519
01:15:09,120 --> 01:15:12,040
Speaker 1: get hurt. I think it's just I think there's some

1520
01:15:12,120 --> 01:15:14,880
Speaker 1: dumb luck randomness to it. That's my expert opinion, to

1521
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:18,720
Speaker 1: be completely honest with you, Like, does Andre Dillard get

1522
01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:22,080
Speaker 1: hurt because of something that staff did? Like, no way,

1523
01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 1: I I don't buy that for a second. Miles Sanders,

1524
01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:27,799
Speaker 1: Like these guys just get hurt, like the Deebo Samuel

1525
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:30,640
Speaker 1: just break his foot, Brandon I you pull his hamstring,

1526
01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:33,719
Speaker 1: George Kittle get laid out. You know, just these injuries

1527
01:15:33,720 --> 01:15:36,400
Speaker 1: just it's football. Sometimes you just go on a bad

1528
01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:38,920
Speaker 1: three or four year stretch, you know, and sometimes like

1529
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:40,960
Speaker 1: it feels like the Ravens never have a guy injured.

1530
01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:45,040
Speaker 1: You know last year that the Chiefs had some injuries.

1531
01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:48,360
Speaker 1: So it's just I don't know, man, I it is crazy.

1532
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:51,599
Speaker 1: I'll give you that. The Eagles do feel pretty extreme,

1533
01:15:52,439 --> 01:15:56,519
Speaker 1: but I I know those guys, I've seen it, and

1534
01:15:56,720 --> 01:15:59,200
Speaker 1: I know the way the owner thinks that they're spending

1535
01:15:59,240 --> 01:16:04,040
Speaker 1: every possible penny to avoid this. So it's just I

1536
01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:06,920
Speaker 1: don't know what to say and the meltdown. I do

1537
01:16:07,080 --> 01:16:10,360
Speaker 1: think in the NFL early in seasons, even if the

1538
01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:13,320
Speaker 1: Eagles are better than Washington, you get into a position

1539
01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:17,800
Speaker 1: where you know you're playing, like you said, undermanned. Your

1540
01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:20,799
Speaker 1: quarterbacks starts playing kind of crappy, like if Carson Wentz

1541
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:23,800
Speaker 1: has bad stretches, the Eagles just won't be good. Like

1542
01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:27,400
Speaker 1: at the point at their given situation right now, he

1543
01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:30,760
Speaker 1: has to be an eight out of ten or more

1544
01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:34,040
Speaker 1: every game for them to win. And clearly once the

1545
01:16:34,080 --> 01:16:36,120
Speaker 1: second half, right at the end of the first half

1546
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:38,040
Speaker 1: and then the second half, you start turning into like

1547
01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:40,439
Speaker 1: a five five out of ten, like it's just you're

1548
01:16:40,439 --> 01:16:44,240
Speaker 1: gonna lose. I don't care if you're playing Alabama, let

1549
01:16:44,240 --> 01:16:46,920
Speaker 1: alone an NFL team like you just they're not good

1550
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:49,519
Speaker 1: enough right now. Now. If he's really good, they would

1551
01:16:49,560 --> 01:16:52,800
Speaker 1: have won that game thirty to ten, right but he

1552
01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:55,320
Speaker 1: wasn't good because they're not gonna be able to really

1553
01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:59,000
Speaker 1: run the ball right now. Um, and they just need

1554
01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:02,080
Speaker 1: him to be good. To me, here's a key to

1555
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:06,759
Speaker 1: when your team is limited from a personnel standpoint because injuries.

1556
01:17:07,320 --> 01:17:12,479
Speaker 1: You can't turn the ball over. Philip rivers the end

1557
01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:15,360
Speaker 1: of the game pick of Corson Wentz the two picks.

1558
01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:18,920
Speaker 1: You know, you just the Tom Brady the pick. Like

1559
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:21,840
Speaker 1: you throw picks against good teams, you're gonna lose. You

1560
01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:25,080
Speaker 1: throw picks against average teams. If your team's you know,

1561
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:27,840
Speaker 1: not full strength, you can lose. You can't turn the

1562
01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:31,679
Speaker 1: ball over. Anyone that's played high school football, let alone

1563
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:35,439
Speaker 1: college football, let alound Obviously I've never played in the NFL,

1564
01:17:35,439 --> 01:17:38,160
Speaker 1: but I've been around enough NFL coaches. Every coach I've

1565
01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:40,679
Speaker 1: ever been around, from college of the pros never stop

1566
01:17:40,720 --> 01:17:44,120
Speaker 1: talking about turnovers. And you know sometimes like okay, shut up,

1567
01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:46,120
Speaker 1: we get it. But then the game happens and you

1568
01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:48,280
Speaker 1: fumble or you throw a pick. You're like, you realize

1569
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:52,000
Speaker 1: it ruins the mojo of your team, I mean, and

1570
01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:54,639
Speaker 1: it gives all the mojo to the other team. There

1571
01:17:54,760 --> 01:17:59,920
Speaker 1: is no just swing in a game like a core

1572
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:02,599
Speaker 1: are back throwing a pick, especially in a tight game.

1573
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:06,639
Speaker 1: Just close your eyes and think about your team getting

1574
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:08,799
Speaker 1: a pick in a game where you're like down seven

1575
01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:12,160
Speaker 1: points and just the explosion of your squad and how

1576
01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:14,200
Speaker 1: much they're celebrating as they're going back to the other

1577
01:18:14,240 --> 01:18:17,200
Speaker 1: sideline the offense come on the field. It's incredible feeling.

1578
01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:20,560
Speaker 1: And how the quarterback unbuckles his chin strap and his

1579
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:24,040
Speaker 1: head goes down and the the whole you know, aura

1580
01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 1: of the sideline just goes to ship. So to me,

1581
01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:31,679
Speaker 1: the turnovers, you can't turn the ball over, and he did.

1582
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:36,240
Speaker 1: Do you feel the Cam showing off some signs of

1583
01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:39,840
Speaker 1: good form against an improving Dolphins defense might be enough

1584
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:43,920
Speaker 1: for Bill to look built to put some experience pieces

1585
01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:46,960
Speaker 1: around Cama available or will this just to see how

1586
01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:51,000
Speaker 1: Cam does with the tools offer on this roster? Also,

1587
01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:53,080
Speaker 1: do you think Cam running his mouth against the defense

1588
01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:55,800
Speaker 1: will put a target on his head when they return

1589
01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:58,439
Speaker 1: to Miami? Probably not the wisest move from our player

1590
01:18:58,720 --> 01:19:01,040
Speaker 1: that has been banged up the last seasons. My thing

1591
01:19:01,160 --> 01:19:04,000
Speaker 1: is camp. If you're wearing a chain is hanging out,

1592
01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:05,439
Speaker 1: Like if I was on the other team, I'd grab

1593
01:19:05,479 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 1: your chain. I keep to leave when he glab grab

1594
01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:10,599
Speaker 1: crab streets chain. Like you wear a chain that's hanging

1595
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:13,360
Speaker 1: out of your pads, Guys are gonna grab it. It's football,

1596
01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:17,479
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a it's a a physical sport.

1597
01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:20,879
Speaker 1: There's just everyone's looking for an edge, pinching, biting, tackling.

1598
01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:23,720
Speaker 1: It's just it is what it is. So like your

1599
01:19:23,720 --> 01:19:25,479
Speaker 1: your chain is gonna be hanging out, guys are gonna

1600
01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:27,880
Speaker 1: grab it. I think they're just gonna ride Cam till

1601
01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:30,720
Speaker 1: the wheels come off. They paid him five grand, they

1602
01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:33,439
Speaker 1: gave him fifteen carries. I think or fourteen of those

1603
01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:38,120
Speaker 1: were designed. I I read this morning that just I

1604
01:19:38,280 --> 01:19:40,920
Speaker 1: would just run him until he falls apart. Why why,

1605
01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:44,000
Speaker 1: Why does Belichick care? Like a Belichick knows they're not

1606
01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:46,439
Speaker 1: potent enough passing the ball, They're just gonna run them

1607
01:19:46,439 --> 01:19:48,960
Speaker 1: on quarterback powers. They're just gonna run them down people's throats. Now,

1608
01:19:49,080 --> 01:19:52,160
Speaker 1: is he gonna last? I don't know. He's enormous, but

1609
01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:54,880
Speaker 1: he's broken down before. I just don't think Belichick cares,

1610
01:19:55,439 --> 01:19:58,280
Speaker 1: and he's just gonna ride Cam til the wheels fall off.

1611
01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:02,000
Speaker 1: After watching that performance and just looking at the box score,

1612
01:20:02,040 --> 01:20:05,519
Speaker 1: it's clear Belichick goes, you're our best offensive player running

1613
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:07,920
Speaker 1: the football, so we're gonna run you to try to

1614
01:20:07,960 --> 01:20:11,080
Speaker 1: score and get first downs. And you can do that. Now,

1615
01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:13,120
Speaker 1: can you do that against like the Steelers and the

1616
01:20:13,720 --> 01:20:16,080
Speaker 1: and the Ravens and some of the better teams, the Bills.

1617
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:18,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you might get he might not get up.

1618
01:20:18,280 --> 01:20:20,800
Speaker 1: I mean they're gonna try to take him out. But

1619
01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:23,599
Speaker 1: it's enjoyable to watch. I like watching Cam run around.

1620
01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:28,280
Speaker 1: It's fun. I appreciate everyone listening. Longer POT today and UH,

1621
01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:43,040
Speaker 1: have a good week.
