35
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: This is John Middlecoff three and out podcast. Hopefully everyone

36
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 1: is doing well and better than the Jets Robert Sala

37
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, and hopefully we're doing as well as the

38
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: forty nine ers who absolutely shellack, shove around destroy the

39
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: New York Jets to night. That was a beatdown physically,

40
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: mentally and on the scoreboard. Forty nine Ers win and

41
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: the Jets hype comes to a crashing halt. So I

42
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: want to dive in game ball. Obviously, Jordan Mason will

43
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: dive into that. The forty nine ers kind of flex

44
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: their muscles. I think you're gonna hear a lot of

45
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: positive spin on how Aaron Rodgers looks. Obviously, his arm

46
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: still looks normal. But I saw something the night that

47
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: made me pretty concerned and is a pretty big red

48
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: flag for the guy that I think we came to

49
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: know over the years. A style of play which I

50
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: I think it's heir to say, it's kind of gone,

51
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: which is a big picture problem for the Jets that

52
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: had high hopes which I don't really see. And then

53
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: I also wanted to do thanks to a listener who

54
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: gave me an idea, a little penthouse in the outhouse.

55
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: What teams I would put in Middlecop's penhouse. Obviously there

56
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: are a couple that have to go in the outhouse

57
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: because we saw some stinkers on Sunday, that's for sure.

58
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: We did a podcast yesterday reacting the Sunday night game

59
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: I went on with Colin. You can find that as

60

Speaker 1: Make sure you go subscribe to the YouTube page. I

63
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: got a shot a golf video last week. I got

64
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: my guy Luis working on it right now, so hopefully

65
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: that'll be out relatively soon. I'll keep you updated when

66
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: that comes out. An opportunity for some birdies. Couldn't make

67
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: a putt. But other than that, yeah, we're rocking and rolling.

68
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: But first, I knew a lot of people at the

69
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: game tonight. I don't want to say I had because

70
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: there's it's hard to beat from your own couch, but

71
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: I've been to a lot of games at Levi's, several

72
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: Monday night games. Anyone listening that's been to a Monday

73
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: night football game, especially for your squad, they are always

74
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. There's always a lot of anticipation

75
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: all day Monday when you know your roll into the game.

76
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: Especially us on the West Coast get you know, if

Speaker 1: you get to leave work a little bit earlier. For

92
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: I get excited. I love sports, so I never have

93
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: a problem with people being excited. But you see it

94
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: in football all the time, and certain brands and a

95
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: lot of people are tweeting me, why do the Jets

96
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: get so much hype? In My first take always is well,

97
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: a large percentage of the media is based in that

98
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: area and they would love for the Jets to be good.

99
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: Yet in this offseason, and listen, I probably overreacted a

100
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: little bit because the Niners had multiple holdouts of the

101
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: McCaffrey injury is very concerning. We'll dive into a second.

102
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: Everyone's like the Niners, they're done. And then they play

103
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: the Jets and they absolutely thoroughly work them. They kicked

104
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: their ass quick game ball. Maybe we'll start doing some

105
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: game balls on Monday night. Christian McCaffrey is inactive a

106
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: couple hours before the game with a calf slash achille,

107
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: which is very, very scary. Anytime that Achilles pops up

108
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: on injury reports. I always look at those and listen.

109
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: I'm not a doctor. It just was nag business major

110
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: and barely listened in school. Is that it feels like

111
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: and I saw it last year with Dre Greenlaw. I

112
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: remember Richard Sherman with Seattle. It pops up, it pops up,

113
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: and then it goes. But I've been singing this guy's

114
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: praises because I've watched him in practice for two years.

115
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: And Kyle at the halftime was like, we've been using

116
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: this guy a lot the last couple of years. No,

117
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: you haven't, Kyle. This guy's really really good. And he

118
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: destroyed the Jets. I mean he looked like and we

119
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: talked about this last night with the Rams, the mark

120
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: of a really good team and a really good culture,

121
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: like good teams have great players. You look at the

122
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs like Travis Kelcey, Chris Jones, Patrick Mahomes, Trent McDuffie.

123
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: But what happens when one of those guys gets hurt?

124
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: What happens when one of your consistent stalwart starters is

125
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: not around? What's the backup look like? And the good

126
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: teams usually the backup looks like high levels starters. Why

127
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: because to compete in the organization, to operate in the operation,

128
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: you gotta be really good at football. You got to

129
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: take it seriously, not just on the practice field, in

130
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: terms of training, in terms of your mental work. This summer,

131
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: Jordan Mason one reason that I think Kyle wouldn't put

132
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: him on the field because there were a lot of

133
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: question marks. Could he catch the ball? What did he do?

134
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: He spent like four thousand dollars on a jugs machine?

135
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: Who did he have shooting balls? His mother now tonight.

136
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: They didn't really need him to catch the ball because

137
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: he ran it right down your throat. And one of

138
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: the best part about Kyle's run scheme and the Shanahan's,

139
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: including Kubiak, who I include as a Shanahan family member,

140
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: nobody schemes would run better because when they get you

141
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: off balance in the zone running scheme. Obviously Trent Williams

142
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: has the power to shove you around, but you don't

143
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: need powerful offensive linemen. It's about positional blocking and then

144
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: the running back chooses where to go. It's why when

145
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: you get a great player like a Christian McCaffrey in

146
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: that scheme, they can dominate. I remember when I got

147
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: to the league and the Houston Texans were leading the

148
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: league in rushing. Aaron Foster was unreal in that scheme,

149
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: and you saw Jordan Mason. You gotta do two things

150
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: to play for Kyle. Run downhill at a physical pace

151
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: and know the hole to hit. And he was doing

152
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: that all night long, breaking tackles, running through guys, running hard,

153
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: running with very good instincts. When a little gap hit,

154
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: he hit it. And you don't dance around. Dancing in

155
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: the zone scheme is death, and he didn't do it.

156
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: So twenty eight carries one hundred and forty seven yards

157
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: a touchdown, replacing not just one of the best players

158
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: on the team, but one of the best players on

159
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: the league. And let's face it, like one of the

160
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: question marks is who knows when we're gonna see Christian

161
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: McCaffrey again, because, as Adam Scheffer said on the pregame,

162
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: he's not gonna play. But the best part about being

163
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: a well run organization and drafting good players developing good players.

164
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 1: Jordan Mason is an undrafted free agent, is yeah, he

165
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: might have to play for a long time. And you

166
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: know what he'll do if he can stay on the field,

167
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: He'll run for fourteen hundred yards. So congrat to Jordan Mason,

168
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: who I've give him the game ball. I'm sure Kyle

169
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: and the team will give him the game ball. He

170
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: embarrassed the Jets, who will dive into in a second,

171
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: and the pretty conversation is never gonna die. But how

172
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: can you watch that guy play? Beside one bad drive

173
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: to night he was excellent. Do you watch how calm

174
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: he is in the pocket? Look how many guys and

175
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna count the rookies, it's unfair to

176
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: put them in, but look how many starting quarterbacks who

177
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: have played in the NFL for a long time get

178
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: so skittish in the pocket, who quickly run around when

179
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 1: they don't have to. And you watch him, you just

180
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: see a calm, collected confident player, and I don't understand

181
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 1: the conversation, like, can't it just kind of die? Can't

182
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: we just acknowledge Party is one of the better quarterbacks

183
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 1: in the NFL. He's been awesome for the forty nine ers,

184
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: and I thought, for the most part, he was awesome tonight.

185
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: If Brandon Ayuk, I don't know, if he was working

186
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: on his diving catches during his holdout hold in but

187
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: doesn't drop the ball in the corner of the end

188
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: zone perty STATLEI would have looked even better. I thought

189
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: Party was fantastic. Debo was a man amongst boys. Fred

190
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: Warner is to me the best linebacker in the league.

191
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: I've been talking about their secondary. It's awesome. They have

192
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 1: two legitimate corners. Most good teams have one. They have two,

193
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: Tarvarius Ward and now Leonore. Their safety plays good, Their

194
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: defensive line is good. The Jets defense is all I

195
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 1: hear from the media, the Jets defense. The Jets defense bullshit.

196
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: You saw one real defense and you saw one overhype defense.

197
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: The Jets have good players, but are they a good unit?

198
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: The Niners are both. They have good players, and they've

199
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 1: been a good unit now for like five straight years.

200
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 1: So they have a really good quarterback, they have an

201
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 1: elite play They have replaceable players like oh, who's this guy? Oh,

202
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: Juwan Jennings seventh round pick, one of the better third

203
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: wide receivers in the league, Deebo Samuel Christian McCaffrey's out,

204
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: Jordan Mason needs to blow. Oh, he can just play

205
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: running back. Oh. They also have George Kittle, Trent Williams,

206
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 1: who's really big right now and needs to get back

207
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: in shape, but the best left tackle in the league.

208
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: That's a loaded team and one question mark, honestly they

209
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: had last year was their third round kicker who was

210
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: extremely erratic and what was he doing tonight? Splitting the uprights.

211
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: He actually almost missed the one, but it was like

212
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 1: a baby cut on the right fairway. They just came

213
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: right in to the left side of the fairway. It worked,

214
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: hit the upright boom scored. I think had a bunch

215
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: of field goals night out of the box score in

216
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: front of me. But he was automatic and he saw

217
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: one of the best teams in the league. I'd argue

218
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: the second best team in the league. There are two

219
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: teams to me, clearly on their own tier. They both

220
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: dominate their conference now for several years, and the forty

221
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: nine Ers, like the Chiefs, looked every bit as good

222
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: as they've been. And it'll all come down two key

223
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: players staying healthy. It's football. Guys are gonna get banged up.

224
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: And I think the only big big picture question mark

225
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: right now with the forty nine Ers is Christian McCaffrey.

226
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: And is that Achilles gonna go? Is it just the

227
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: calf and the Achilles are working together and something's just

228
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: a little weird and off and it's gonna be okay.

229
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: I'm pretty concerned, But I think the bright side as

230
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: when you watch tonight, and this is what good teams do,

231
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: specifically the Shanahan family is their backup running running back

232
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: can immediately be inserted and dominate. Now. Are the Jets

233
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: a top five defense? I don't think so, but they're

234
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: definitely pretty solid. And the Niners shove them around the night,

235
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: absolutely ragged all them up and down the field. So

236
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: a lot of people are down on this team. A

237
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: lot of people want to question the quarterback. All they

238
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: do is keep winning. I mean they just rattle off

239
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: win after win after win after win. I don't know

240
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: what else to say. Like sometimes it's not pretty. Sometimes

241
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: they do some weird stuff, but a whole shit do

242
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: they win a lot. And the other thing they have

243
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,599
Speaker 1: guys their physicality, And this goes to John Lynch and

244
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: the scouting staff, the type guys they draft. Who are

245
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: the guys laying on the ground to night after big hits.

246
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: There was a lot of Jets, and the Jets are

247
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: quote unquote a physical team and they were getting smashed

248
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: so and that's what happens when you know your sixty

249
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 1: million dollar wide receiver can also be a running back

250
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: who a lower shoulder over guys the Jordan Mason, the

251
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: power in which he runs. You put the ball in

252
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: George Kittle's hands, He's lowering his shoulder. Even if you

253
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: have a guy wrapped around his legs, the next guy

254
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: hitting him is also gonna feel pain. They just have

255
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: a very very physical team. And how long is this sustainable?

256
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: Like is it five more years? Probably not, But right

257
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: now with all these guys on the field, they are

258
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: They got a bunch of tough sobs out there who

259
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: are elite players who have won a ton and if

260
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: they can just hold the lead the Super Bowl, they're

261
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: clearly as good as it gets right there with Kansas

262
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: City and very very impressive night from from Kyle the offense,

263
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: the new defensive coordinator to just kick the Jets ass. Now,

264
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: one thing I would imagine you're gonna hear a lot

265
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: on the television shows and the poweredcasts, and if you

266
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: listen to local radio, which is holding on by a

267
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: shoe string, Aaron Rodgers looks like Aaron Rodgers. I gotta

268
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,119
Speaker 1: pump the brakes on that one. Yes, his arm is fantastic.

269
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: He's going to be able to throw ninety five mile

270
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: inar fastballs until he's seventy five years old. Dan Marino,

271
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: John Elway. Right now, if you put him out on

272
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: a field, could throw a twenty yard out route. That

273
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: looks like an NFL player. The arm is not gonna

274
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: go on Aaron Rodgers. But did you notice one thing?

275
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: Because I did. I've watched a lot of Aaron Rodgers,

276
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: like a lot of people, but living on the West Coast,

277
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: I just watch a lot. I watched a lot more

278
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: NFC football than AFC football, depending on where you live

279
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: over the years. Just those are the big games before

280
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: these four box situations. Most of us five years ago previously,

281
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: you're just watching one main game and you're just obviously

282
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and McCarthy and the Packers were just one

283
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: of the main go to national games. What made him

284
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: a great player, and I've seen him live probably four

285
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: or five times in my life, was he was the

286
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: total package. He could dominate as a pocket quarterback Brady

287
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: Manning breestyle, and then he could scramble around and make

288
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: throws as good as any player ever. And you watch

289
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: them the night in the pocket. Can still throw darts,

290
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: can still throw bebies, still has a fantastic arm. But

291
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: did you notice him moving around? Oh wait, you didn't

292
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: because he didn't move. He was stationary. Do you know

293
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: what he looked like tonight, a more powerful armed Jared Goff.

294
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: And this is what I've been wanting all off season long,

295
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: is the mobility. Because when they traded for Aaron Rodgers

296
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: and before he tore his achilles, even if he was

297
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: an older, thirty nine to forty year old guy, he

298
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: still could move, maybe not like when he was thirty,

299
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: but he wasn't some stationary player like Philip Rivers. He

300
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: wasn't moving the night at all. Beside in the little

301
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: pocket radius, they weren't doing rollouts he wasn't scrambling and

302
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: making plays, and I asked myself, are those days gone?

303
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: And based off one week, I'm not gonna write it

304
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: in sharpie, but I feel pretty confident that we see

305
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: a new version of this player moving forward. And big

306
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: picture for the Jets, who countless people, they were the

307
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: betting favorite to win the AFCs. People picked this team

308
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: to compete for the super Bowl. They're going to struggle

309
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: to win ten games if this is the version of him,

310
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: because he's just solid pocket guy. But their team as

311
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: a whole, that defense is clearly a little overrated. They

312
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: lost Bryce Huff to the Eagles, who gave them ten

313
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: sacks and twenty one quarterback hits last year, so they

314
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: replaced him with a son Reddick, who had eleven sacks

315
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,719
Speaker 1: and twenty three quarterback hits. The problem is, Hassan Reddick

316
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,959
Speaker 1: is just giving away and it's fluid because it's not

317
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,239
Speaker 1: necessarily ending unless he shows up six million dollars. So

318
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: that player doesn't exist. So you watch their defensive line

319
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: the night. Quinn Williams is excellent, but where's their extra pressure. Well,

320
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: huffsnow are to be found because he's gone and his

321
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: replacement is at home eating cheetohs like me and you

322
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: on the couch. So their defensive line is just not

323
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: as good and their secondary like Sascott banged up. It's

324
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: it's solid, but it's not exactly Dion and Reevis back there.

325
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: So this team starting with Robert Sala, who we have

326
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: major question marks on. Good looking guy. He does a

327
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 1: lot for the bald community by just looking good in

328
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 1: shape on national TV. I like him, high character, human being.

329
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: Is he any good as a head coach? To me?

330
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: This team, like, I don't think they're bad, but tad

331
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: bit overrated might be an understatement. Do you notice a

332
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: couple other things tonight? And Troykman said he's like Rogers

333
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: told us we're gonna feed Breese Hall and Garrett Wilson,

334
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: which I get, but you need more than that against

335
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 1: good teams. So when you can't feed Garrett Wilson, what

336
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: else can you do? Now? Rogers is great at it,

337
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: but not everyone is gonna jump at that hardcount and

338
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna get free plays to the wizard. Their passing

339
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: game is kind of suspect outside of Garrett Wilson. That's

340
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: why I think the elephant in the room is like,

341
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: if they are competitive, would they trade a first round

342
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: pick for Devonte Adams. I think the answer is yes.

343
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: I also would say I don't know if that'd be

344
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: a great idea because you're dealing with a quarterback who

345
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: has aged a lot post Achilles. Honestly, he was aging

346
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: before he got hurt, but now he's a pretty stagnant player.

347
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,479
Speaker 1: Still good, still a massive upgrade over what they were

348
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: playing with. And Aikman said it tonight. Their quarterback play

349
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: without Rogers over the last couple years has been some

350
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: of the worst in the NFL, and at times the

351
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: worst in the NFL. So it's better. I'm not disputing that.

352
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: But the guy that they thought they were getting that

353
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, they just traded for Aaron Rodgers.

354
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: I guess the trade. We knew it was gonna happen,

355
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 1: and then it took forever. But you know what I mean,

356
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,479
Speaker 1: the moment we found out the Jets were gonna get

357
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, even well before the trade, it's gonna make

358
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: them real, well, that guy's not the same guy anymore.

359
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,719
Speaker 1: You have a guy that can't really move, and then

360
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 1: you have a defense that's clearly overrated, and the head

361
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 1: coach that might not know what he's doing. So I'm

362
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: not acting like the Jets are gonna beat the Giants here,

363
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: but this notion that they can be a super Bowl

364
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: contender bullshit. Let's just work on can they get the

365
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: seven seed? And I have questions. I do not think

366
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,360
Speaker 1: that's a lock by an he means, because one there

367
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: margin Ferrera, with all these older players who get injured

368
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: a lot is very small and even this version of

369
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: Aaron when they play better teams, he can't put on

370
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: the Superman cap anymore. Those days are over. And then

371
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: the team around him, as we saw tonight, might be

372
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: a little overrated. So they're gonna have to play much

373
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: better football. I would say to compete to get to

374
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: that nine to ten mark to put him in the

375
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 1: wild card mix. And I think we learned that hype

376
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: is just that. This is what Belichick was talking about

377
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,959
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams in preseason, and I'm not acting like I'm

378
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: not guilty of it. I get excited just like everyone

379
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: else listening. But like Notre Dame, the Jets are the

380
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: classic team where the hype constantly exceeds reality. I get

381
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: the hype on the Dallas Cowboys, like they've been winning

382
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: twelve games. They just get a fumble and a good

383
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: defensive series or two to go their way, like they

384
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: could win a playoff game that they lost. But this

385
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: team has a long, longest running playoff drought in American

386
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: team sports speaks to the organization. It's the total package.

387
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: What happened tonight They kind of got into a tough spot.

388
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: The forty nine ers started beating on them. Did they

389
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 1: match it? No, they kind of wilted and the Niners

390
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: knew it. And what did Kyle tel Aikman. Yeah, we're

391
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: gonna try to run it thirty five to forty times

392
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 1: tonight between the tackles. What's he basically saying, we don't

393
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: think they're that tough. We don't think they can match that.

394
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: He wouldn't say that about the Chiefs or the Ravens

395
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: or a team that is as equal physically. But when

396
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: he finds a weakness and he sniffs you out, he's

397
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: going to exploit it. And they tapped out, and they

398
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 1: tapped out early, So pretty concerning that. You lose. The

399
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: Ravens lost, the Rams lost. It's the NFL. Sometimes you

400
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 1: just tip your hat. What are you gonna do. It's

401
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: another thing to get your ass kick like that. So

402
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: dominant Dominant forty nine or win muscle flex for the

403
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:03,199
Speaker 1: NFC champs and pretty embarrassing performance by the Jets, And

404
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: let's face it, it's gonna be some finers getting tight

405
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: in that place if they lose some tight games. So

406
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: the pressure on this team is immense, and we'll see

407
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: how they respond. I want to do a little something

408
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: because I've been trying to figure out how to call

409
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 1: my top ten, my top five by bottom ten. Someone

410
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: hit me up and I'm like, I kind of like this.

411
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: They're like, how about the penthouse in the outhouse. I'm like, yeah,

412
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: I kind of like that, So let's do middle cough

413
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: or coughs penhouse and outhouse. I think this is a

414
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: pretty easy one because I only got two teams in

415
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: my penhouse. I'm not opening the doors of the penhouse

416
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: to everybody, and I'm not saying that the teams I'm

417
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 1: leaving out aren't good and aren't even Super Bowl contenders,

418
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: But based on a Week one, two teams stand out

419
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: to me, Kansas City and San Francisco, and those are

420
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: the two teams that met in the Super Bowl so

421
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: it's like, what about the Eagles, Like still got some

422
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: question marks there? What about all the Ravens? Like can

423
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: Lamar throw from within the pocket? The Bills like a

424
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: little too close for me? At home against the Arizona Cardinals,

425
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh didn't even score a touchdown defensive elite five field goals.

426
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: The Lions. The Lions to me were pretty close. I

427
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: had the Lions and actually Dallas pretty close and they

428
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: could easily get in. But right now, the penhouse, it's

429
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: gonna be hard to crack this door. You win a

430
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: couple of games impressive, FASHION have no problem opening it up,

431
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: but I also have a hard problem putting teams in there.

432
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: Then I don't believe can win the super Bowl. And

433
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: as I said last week, like I don't believe the

434
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: Ravens can win the Super Bowl. I don't see it happening.

435
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: So if I don't see it happening, how am I

436
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 1: gonna put him in the penhouse? Even if they're gonna

437
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: win eleven twelve games, which I still think probably more

438
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 1: of a ten win team than the twelve thirteen win team.

439
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 1: I respect them. I'm not a Ravens hater, but Houston

440
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: would be another team that was a really really good win,

441
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 1: really good win. Watch that they would be knocking on

442
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,160
Speaker 1: that door big time. They only have one playoff victory,

443
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: but that win on the road Nindy was really impressive.

444
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: But gotta do a little bit more before I let

445
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: you in. The outhouse, though, is packed, and it stinks

446
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 1: because let's start with probably the least like negative would

447
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 1: just be the Panthers, because we already knew they weren't

448
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 1: any good, so it wasn't shocking. I couldn't believe how

449
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: many different people I heard in the gambling space that

450
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 1: liked the Panthers. One problem for me is I loved

451
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: the Saints and the Buccaneers this weekend to cover, but

452
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: I used a bunch of parlays to try to get

453
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: the odds up, and the Titans completely screwed me. But

454
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: I love those two games. It's like rookie quarterback, I

455
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: gets a playoff team, and you know where I stand.

456
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: On the Saints, I think they're pretty good. Against the Panthers,

457
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: they lost by thirty seven points. I kind of stopped

458
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: paying attention in the fourth quarter. I looked at the

459
00:24:54,880 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: score today, I was like, forty seven to ten, Is

460
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: this real? He threw a pick to start the game,

461
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 1: a pick to start the second half. He went thirteen

462
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: to thirty and two. Obviously those two picks, like it

463
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: is a disaster. And then today Derek Brown, who is

464
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: a big time player who would start for every team

465
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL, probably gone for the season. He's going

466
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: to get a second opinion. But even Canalis was like, yeah,

467
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: this is not ideal. This is a problem. So the

468
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: one thing you felt kind of good is like, hey,

469
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: the front might be good. You lose your best player,

470
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: your quarterback sucks, Your coach, I don't know, might be

471
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: a little over his head. Weren't too good looking for me,

472
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: you know, he's just too good looking. But they got

473
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: David Tepper that that operation is in shambles right now

474
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: and it's going to be a long season. Cincinnati. I

475
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: don't know if Burrow's injured, if they got some weird

476
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: juju going on with their wide receivers. They obviously consistently

477
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: lose Week one, but to be at home against a

478
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: team that universally has agreed upon is not gonna be

479
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: any good and score ten points and lose the game,

480
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: and the other coach, like a lot of coaches, get

481
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: their first win. Jim harbad, Just did you get a

482
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: game ball? In the locker room? Everyone celebrates, it's fun.

483
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: He got a gatorade bath. You only give a gatorade

484
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: bath to a first time head coach if you're in

485
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: a situation where no one thought you could win. And

486
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: I mean you talk about survivor pools. I can't even

487
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 1: imagine how many people took Cincinnati to win that game,

488
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: because if I was in a survivor pool, they would

489
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: have been near the top of my list. And they

490
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: didn't just lose. I mean they looked, they looked awful.

491
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: Here's the other thing. It'd be one thing if Jacoby well,

492
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: it's like you know, Jacoby threw for two sixty and

493
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 1: three touchdowns through for one hundred and twenty one yards.

494
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: One hundred and twenty one yards. You can't be losing

495
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: to a team when we hold you to the regard

496
00:26:58,280 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: of like, yeah, you could be a Super Bowl contender

497
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 1: if you're heal lose did Jacobe were said he throws

498
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 1: for one hundred and twenty one yards. Well, let's get

499
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: to really stinking up the outhouse. Let's start with the Giants.

500
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: The offseason Hard Knocks was not kind to them. And

501
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: that viral video of John Morrow. When we were watching

502
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: it this offseason, I remember doing a podcast like the

503
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: owner said, are you guys sure on this one? Just

504
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: are we sure we're handling this correctly? And two, I

505
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: won't be able to sleep if he goes to Philadelphia.

506
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 1: Then not only does he go to Philadelphia in his

507
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: first night, in his first game for the Eagles, he

508
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: scores three touchdowns on national television on a Friday night

509
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: in a standalone game. And then two days later, you're

510
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: not playing Joe Montana or Tom Brady, You're playing Sam

511
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 1: Darnold and he fucking eviscerates you. And Daniel Jones throws

512
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 1: another pick six, gets booed, fans are ripping him as

513
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: he's leaving the stadium. It couldn't have been more embarrassing.

514
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: And those guys feel like nice guys. I don't see

515
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: how they survived this. If they just suck this season

516
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 1: and Barkley has twenty touchdowns and the Eagles win eleven games,

517
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be bad. Because the owner, the

518
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: guy that signs everyone checked, literally told them in a room,

519
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is a good idea, And

520
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: I give him credit. I'm paying you guys. I'm gonna

521
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 1: let you make the decision. I'm not gonna meddle here,

522
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 1: but holy shit, you better be right, because there are

523
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: repercussions for mist evaluations and missed decisions, and people are

524
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: gonna be held accountable. And this is not the Rooney family.

525
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: John Marra has been firing people left and right, and

526
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: rightfully so. Joe Judge was awful. Pat Schumer's worse macadoo

527
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: got weird, but he's been running coaches in gms out

528
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: of the building. So if this sakauon Barkley, they play

529
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: him twice. What if he rushes for two hundred yards

530
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,959
Speaker 1: against him and has a game at met Life and

531
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: they lose thirty to three and he kind of dances

532
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: all over their grave. I that thing could even get

533
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: a lot worse. And last, but not least, the Cleveland Browns.

534
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine being a Browns fan and like

535
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: even attempting to root for Deshaun Watson everything you read about,

536
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: every situation that has come out about him with the

537
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: massage therapists, and then today on Monday, after an absolute

538
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: embarrassment of a performance, and just I mean such low

539
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: level quarterback play, Like you don't need to be a

540
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: coach or a GM to just watch that and go

541
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: this is pitiful. Like this, this is sad. And just

542
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: as a football fan, if Deshaun Watson's on your TV

543
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: just to watch a ball player, you will change the

544
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: channel to go to a different game. But like if

545
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's on TV, or I mean, there are certain

546
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: players like I'm gonna watch this guy that's an immediate

547
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: channel change. So he's unwatchable player who his question marks

548
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: off the field are pretty insane, and I, like I

549
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: said earlier, I don't like getting into the he said,

550
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: she said only no, but those two people, and it's

551
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: happened to a lot of people and it's all been bs.

552
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: But how many people have you ever met that have

553
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: had that many lawsuits that have all had consistent themes

554
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: against an individual like eventually like walks like a duck,

555
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: quacks like a duck might be a duck, And he

556
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: just feels like a complete loser, I mean on and

557
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: off the field. So you are forced to root for

558
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: this guy because I can't get rid of them. His

559
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: number is so massive that it makes Russell Wilson's look

560
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: kind of small. You're just stuck with this player. And

561
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: they kind of could see it coming because why wouldn't

562
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: they have just re signed Joe Flacco. Well, because they

563
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: didn't want the drama because if this guy struggled, what

564
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: would everyone want? Throw Joe Flacco in the game. So

565
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: what do they do? They go sign Jameis Winston, who's

566
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: funny and has some viral clips, but we all agree

567
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: is not very good. So it's like they're just gonna

568
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: keep rolling them out and to get embarrassed like that

569
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: the morning Dak signed for two hundred and thirty million

570
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: dollars and McCarthy and Dak are just stomping all over

571
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: your field. It's hard like the panther stink. We knew

572
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: it coming. In the Bengals, that was shocking. I think

573
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: the Giants, we all expected it was worse given how

574
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: good Darnold looked in the Saquon situation. But I think

575
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: no one has had a worse twenty four hours when

576
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: you factor in the character uneasiness, just disgusting of the

577
00:31:48,840 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: whole situation. Okay, I wanted to into something because I

578
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: noticed this yesterday on Sunday. Is there weren't many quarterbacks

579
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: throwing for two hundred and fifty three hundred yards. Only

580
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: two guys eclipsed three bills. One was Tua, who threw

581
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: for almost three hundred and forty yards, but eighty of

582
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: them came on a vintage Tyreek Hill pass over the

583
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: middle take another fifty sixty yards. And Matt Stafford, who

584
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: was for the most part brilliant on Sunday night. But

585
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: a lot of guys were two fifty and below. And

586
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: I think we've become accustomed to just expecting guys to

587
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: throw for two hundred and seventy five three hundred yards

588
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: with their eyes closed. And I remember, probably three or

589
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: three to four weeks into training camp, maybe mid like

590
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: August twentieth range, I was texting with a friend who's

591
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: an exec on a team, and he's a team with

592
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: a highly paid star quarterback. I said, how does he look?

593
00:32:55,520 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: He said, honestly, John clearly throws the ball well, but

594
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: you can't tell. And this is a guy that had

595
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: been in the league since the early nineties. He's like,

596
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: training camp now in the preseason is a complete joke.

597
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: It's impossible to tell. No one gets hit, no one tackles,

598
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: and for the most part Beside a couple teams, no

599
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: high end players play in the preseason game. I know

600
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: everyone was like drafting Marvin Harrison junior high in fantasy.

601
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: It's like, Guys, he didn't do anything all training camp,

602
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: he doesn't play any preseason games, so you think he's

603
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: just gonna go on the road against Buffalo, one of

604
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: the best teams in the league, and have seven for

605
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: one to ten and two touchdowns. It's difficult. We saw

606
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: it with the rookie quarterbacks, so we'll get into it

607
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: here in a little bit. But football is not like

608
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: basketball or baseball. In baseball, right if I'm a hitter

609
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: anytime of the year three sixty five, I can get

610
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: a major league pitcher and we can just run a

611
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: live batting practice and just pitch me like he would

612
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: in a game. And while there's no we could be

613
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: in a batting cage or we could be on a field,

614
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I can get a look like I

615
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: normally would in a major league baseball game, in the

616
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: NBA or in college basketball, I can get ten other

617
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: guys or nine, I guess if I'm one of them,

618
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: and play a simulated game, even if it might not

619
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: be exactly the tempo and the pace of a normal

620
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: NBA game or normal college game. We can get a

621
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: legit running that is actual basketball, right play to twenty

622
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: one ones and twos do whatever, but like you're garden people,

623
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: you're running, you're moving them all you're trying. Football is

624
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: the one sport that the only way you actually play

625
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: it are the games. Practice doesn't even simulate the games

626
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: because nobody tackles to the ground, and I would say

627
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 1: half the teams barely even touch each other. Some teams

628
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: do a thing called thud where you kind of run

629
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: into each other, hands up. No one goes to the

630
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: ground and the offensive guy gets to keep running. Obviously,

631
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,240
Speaker 1: you can't hit the quarterback. They wear a different colored

632
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:13,439
Speaker 1: jersey in practice, so those guys get used to why

633
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: can never get sacked? Even my joint practices, the defender

634
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 1: knows can't test quarterback. It's like the number one rule

635
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 1: right now in football. I don't know how they do

636
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,800
Speaker 1: in high school, but definitely Division I college football and

637
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: the NFL live practices which aren't actually live because you're

638
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,720
Speaker 1: not tackling the ground, quarterback is off limits. If anything,

639
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: As a defender, you run right by him. Maybe you

640
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: tap him on the ass. So that's not like the game,

641
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 1: because the game starts like you could get molly wopped,

642
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,280
Speaker 1: you get destroyed. We saw guys yesterday getting destroyed left

643
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: and right, so you can't simulate that. And now the

644
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 1: majority of the league doesn't even play any of the

645
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 1: preseason snaps, so you go into the week one like

646
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: it's a different speed. And the one thing that jumped

647
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:02,720
Speaker 1: off the screen yesterday was the speed of defensive players.

648
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 1: They are so fast and we see it every year

649
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: at the combine, speeds have never been quicker. I'm talking

650
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: defensive linemen. Linebackers are smaller now than they were thirty

651
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: years ago, but they're all faster. Every dB worth assault

652
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: is running a four or five zero or faster, especially

653
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:24,720
Speaker 1: corners and safeties like yeah, John Lynch and Steve Atwater

654
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: might not exist, but those guys aren't as fast as

655
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: most of the guys starting right now in the NFL.

656
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: And their speed also when you mix in the schemes,

657
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: you get and this is where Belichick was critical of Caleb, Like,

658
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 1: preseason's kind of a joke from a schematic standpoint on defense,

659
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 1: they're just running the same coverage over and over and

660
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: maybe they run one of their go to blitzes, but

661
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: you're not getting a lot of looks that are gonna

662
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: make you that uncomfortable. And then you get these regular

663
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: season games, it's like shit's flying all over the place.

664
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: So I do think it's tougher, Like no matter what

665
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: you do, when you're in the mode of doing something,

666
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: it's easier to keep doing that when all of a

667
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: sudden you go zero to sixty. If you take anyone

668
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: that's taken a vacation for a week, two weeks when

669
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: you come back, it's like you can be a little rusty.

670
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: I give the number one sales guy in America six

671
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: months off that first week back, is he going to

672
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 1: be super dialed? It's hard. So imagine being a quarterback

673
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: that hasn't played anything like what you're gonna play week

674
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 1: one for nine months, even if the rules are on

675
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: your side, even if the referees are on your side.

676
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,959
Speaker 1: Still really hard. And this is where I said about

677
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,240
Speaker 1: the rookie quarterbacks of like, guys, we need to pump

678
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 1: the brakes. We haven't seen a guy held to such

679
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 1: a high regard of Caleb since Luck, and there has

680
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: been a very very short group of guys. They were

681
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: just like this guy's can't miss. He's going to be

682
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: a superstar. It's like, this shit is really really hard.

683
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 1: These defensive coordinators making millions, the other guys the eleven

684
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: lining up on like Jeffrey Simmons drives a range rover

685
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: and lives in a mansion and goes to the Pro

686
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: Bowl even though it's not a game, and they just

687
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 1: do activities now like they got real players, Like it's

688
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: it's really hard. I remember asking about the wide receivers

689
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: at during the combine to a buddy of mine that's

690
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: a wide receiver coach. It's like, what do you think

691
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: of Marvin Harrison. Obviously he's really good, but he's playing

692
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: Iowa Rutgers, Wisconsin every week in the NFL every week

693
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: or every other week. He's going to be playing a

694
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 1: guy that makes thirteen million dollars, who's bendo a couple

695
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: of Pro Bowls, who's got two kids, and who lives

696
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: in one of the biggest houses in his neighborhood and

697
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: likes that lifestyle and ain't trying to give it up,

698
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: and is going to try to take the kid's lunch.

699
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 1: And it's not like he has a group of a

700
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: bunch of friends in that unit to like take pressure

701
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: off them. So every time he plays a team with

702
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: a good corner, highly paid corner, highly paid defensive guy,

703
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: they are gonna zone in on him. It's hard. It's

704
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: a tough transition. It's not easy. No different for quarterbacks.

705
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:14,280
Speaker 1: You don't think all week long. The Tennessee Defenders circled

706
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, Seattle circled bow Knicks Tampa. Think how many

707
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 1: guys on Tampa have a Super Bowl ring played for

708
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 1: years with Tom Brady. They've been going to the playoffs

709
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 1: four straight years. They just won a playoff game. They

710
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 1: embarrassed Jalen Hurts, who makes forty five million dollars a

711
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: year on national television, in the wildcard round. It was

712
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 1: Monday night football. You think they just went, oh yeah,

713
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: but we'll just we'll let Jayden light us up. We're intimidated.

714
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: Fuck no. So it is hard, and the key with

715
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:52,760
Speaker 1: these young guys is like sometimes I think the easiest

716
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: time to kind of assess yourself or look in the

717
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: mirror is when shit hits the fan. I've been fired

718
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: a couple of times. It's probably when I was my

719
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: most ambitious, and I fought the hardest Why because I

720
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 1: was at my lowest spot. When times are good, sometimes

721
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:11,280
Speaker 1: it's hard to find motivation and have that same fire

722
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:15,240
Speaker 1: burning into you. It's why we admire like the crazy

723
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 1: successful people, whether it's Michael Jordan or Tom Brady or

724
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods or you know, Steve Jobs or Warren Buffett.

725
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: It's like what keeps them going? How do they keep

726
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: and they tell these stories how they like make things

727
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: up in their head to keep the desire, or a

728
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: super successful business guy goes every night I think about

729
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: being broke, you know, and you have to do that well.

730
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: When you struggle as a rookie quarterback, you don't need

731
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: to manipulate anything. It's like you got embarrassed and when

732
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: your coaches coach you hard throughout the next week, like

733
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 1: this is hard. Guys like you got to listen to

734
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: what I'm telling you. You need to calm down, you

735
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: need to take the check down. In college, especially for

736
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 1: Jaden and Caleb, they could be superhuman, it was really easy.

737
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:05,879
Speaker 1: It was like, at any moment, I can run around

738
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: and make something happen, and I'm better than ninety nine

739
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,360
Speaker 1: point nine percent of people that I'm playing against my

740
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: physical attribute to my talent. We're in the NFL. Even

741
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: playing bad teams have guys that can eat your lunch

742
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: and a coordinator who can just throw you off. And

743
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: the other thing with the coordinator. Once they find something

744
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: that's kind of working, they will just go to that

745
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: well over and over and over again. So all three

746
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: of these guys struggled. I think it's kind of a

747
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: good thing, especially if you're Sean Payton, eber Flus and

748
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 1: the offensive staff Dan Quinn and Cliff Kingsbury. You can

749
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: kind of just like, hey, guys, this is going to

750
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: be difficult. This is not easy. Like Caleb and Jayden

751
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: Daniels we saw on Hard Knocks when he gets up

752
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 1: in front of the room and says the signing bonus.

753
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: His signing bonus was twenty five million dollars. And I

754
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,280
Speaker 1: understand Caleb's made good money when he was at USC,

755
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:00,879
Speaker 1: It wasn't twenty five million dollars in your bank, Acount Rich.

756
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 1: So it's like, listen, we all got money, and a

757
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,399
Speaker 1: lot of guys you're gonna play have a lot more

758
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: money than you, so we gotta figure this out. Like

759
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 1: next week, the Bears are playing the Houston Texans. They

760
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 1: got Derek Stingley, who's gonna be one hundred million dollar corner.

761
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:25,320
Speaker 1: They got multiple defensive linemen who are high millions level

762
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,720
Speaker 1: guys like this is. They got a head coach Demiko,

763
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 1: who has played and coach in this league for a

764
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: long period of time, who I call very good. Schematically,

765
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: it ain't gonna be easy in the next week and

766
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 1: the next week and the next week. There are not

767
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: off weeks. This is not college football, where when you

768
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: do lose to an inferior opponent, it's a complete embarrassment.

769
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: In the NFL, like Patriots can beat the Bengals, massive lines.

770
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: Massive lines for Week one were like not even a touchdown.

771
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: It was Denver six points. It's on the road in Seattle.

772
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: Rookie quarterback Arizona six and a half points on the

773
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 1: road in Buffalo. Buffalo's a team that's won double digit

774
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: games four straight years, goes to playoffs every year, wins

775
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: playoff games. Arizona has to sniff the playoffs in a while.

776
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: They're not even getting a touchdown. That's how difficult this is.

777
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: I remember sitting there. People might laugh at this name,

778
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: but David Kelly, who was an excellent position coach when

779
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: I was with the Eagles, and I used to my

780
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,919
Speaker 1: first year, I had a random task and I don't

781
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 1: know if it was the injury report or maybe the

782
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 1: weather report, or I was taking them something and we

783
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 1: were playing the Bills at the time are really bad,

784
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,359
Speaker 1: and we were playing the Bills, and I'm like, ah,

785
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: kind of an easy week here. And he wasn't happy

786
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: with that comment. He's like, son, they got a lot

787
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: of guys, they drive really nice cars on that team.

788
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 1: They got good players, and if you ever have that

789
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 1: mindset as a coach or a player in this league,

790
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:04,919
Speaker 1: you lose. And he was right, It's true. So as

791
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback, this is not gonna be what CJ.

792
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 1: Stroud did last year is an outlier, So I'm not

793
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: jumping off the ship on Caleb, but I do expect

794
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,280
Speaker 1: it to be a lot more difficult than everyone thinks.

795
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: Like even Justin Fields, who was all over the map

796
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: last year for the Bears, had played in the NFL

797
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 1: for a while, understood the speed of guys, understood like

798
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 1: throws that he could attempt to make, had experience on

799
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: his side. None of these guys have any experience. Think

800
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 1: of the first time you ever walk into a job,

801
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 1: whether it's when you're young, in your early twenties, or

802
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: whether you've done it recently. At first, early on, like

803
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: there's a feeling out process. You just start putting your

804
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,839
Speaker 1: feet on your desk, so maybe six months a year

805
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: in then you get comfortable. You know everyone's name, Hey, Bill, James,

806
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: how's a weekend? It doesn't happen day one, And that's

807
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: what Sunday was for these guys. Day one. In the

808
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 1: most competitive physical sport we have in this country, I'd

809
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 1: include hockey, but newfound hockey guy two other things. I

810
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 1: watched him Indian Houston Monday afternoon because while I had

811
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: it on my TV, I wasn't super locked in. I

812
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: was like, that's too good of a game not to

813
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: just watch back and on NFL Plus, it's like ninety

814
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: nine dollars a year you can watch these condensed games,

815
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 1: So you can watch the TV copy condensed game in

816
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: like thirty minutes. I just have it on my computer, boom,

817
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 1: I can be shooting a couple of emails with why

818
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 1: of plays, watch it and it's over quick. It's been

819
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 1: doing that forever and was blown away first and foremost

820
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: the Texans. I feel even better about them. CJ is

821
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: really a throwback player. Last night we were watching the

822
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 1: Sunday Night game and Maria looked at me after Jared

823
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:56,320
Speaker 1: Goff had his running first down. She's like, Jeezy's really slow.

824
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 1: I was like, Yeah, he's kind of a throwback player type.

825
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: Guys don't really exist anymore. He was much more like

826
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 1: the players that I grew up on six four sixty five.

827
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 1: Couldn't really move, sits in the pocket and throws. He's

828
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: not a runner. Those guys don't really exist. And what

829
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 1: makes CJ. Stroud kind of unique is he's a better

830
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: athlete than golf, but he's a pocket passer. He wants

831
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: to sit in the pocket and make throws. That is

832
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: his game, which usually can sustain for a long period

833
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,800
Speaker 1: of time. It's why Jared Go's gonna have an eighteen

834
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: year career, same with CJ. Stroud. If they don't get

835
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,399
Speaker 1: injured like it, and they're less likely to get injured

836
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:35,320
Speaker 1: because they're not run around getting crushed like Lamar Jackson

837
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: or Jayden Daniels. Can't slide. It's getting hit constantly, say

838
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: Anthony richardson getting popped all the time, and Houston's really good.

839
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 1: Nico Collins and Tank Dell has to be one of

840
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: the better one to two wide receiver combos young. I

841
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: mean Nico, I didn't know much about him till last

842
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:55,800
Speaker 1: year when he kind of broke out. That was texting

843
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: with a buddy who's in the loop, and he basically said, like,

844
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 1: not only is he a awesome player, he's super humble,

845
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 1: super high character, just the type guy you want on

846
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 1: your team. And when I watched the Houston Texans, they

847
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: feel like a group that just has a bunch of

848
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 1: Dimico types, a bunch of physical guys that like football. Obviously,

849
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: they have a lot of talent. They're a smart team,

850
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 1: Like it's a really really high level team, and they

851
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: got a good young quarterback. Like that's a team that

852
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 1: should win thirteen plus games. And I actually don't think

853
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: INDI's that far off. I've been watching football for thirty

854
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 1: plus years, been doing it for a living now for

855
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,360
Speaker 1: about fifteen maybe even a little longer since two thousand

856
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 1: and eight, so sixteen years college and pro. And Anthony

857
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 1: Richardson's first touchdown pass to uh I forget who it

858
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 1: was even to might have been one of the best

859
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 1: individual throws I've ever seen in the sport. He was

860
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: He's a right handed quarterback. He's rolling to his left

861
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 1: off his back foot. Like on Twitter the blogs, they

862
00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 1: keep writing a sixty yard pass, It actually was like

863
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 1: sixty eight yards, So I'm gonna round up and call

864
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: it a seventy yard pass. Did he hit the guy

865
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 1: in stride? There is a short list of human beings

866
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 1: that have ever played the sport that could pull that

867
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,760
Speaker 1: off in my lifetime, like Elway was a little before

868
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: my time, at least in his prime, it would obviously

869
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 1: be Farv Rogers, Mahomes, Allen. I mean, it is a

870
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: not a long list of guys. They could do it.

871
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: Like Brady and Manning could not do it because they're

872
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,919
Speaker 1: not athletic enough and they don't have the I mean,

873
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: Brady has a good arm when his feet is set.

874
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: Manning could not have made that throw. It is just

875
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 1: such a dip. Like of the top ten quarterbacks of

876
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:47,280
Speaker 1: like the Steve Youngs and the Joe Montanas, they couldn't

877
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 1: do it. Obviously Elway and Marino when they were his

878
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: age could pull that off. But it is a small

879
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 1: small group of people forever. It was like JaMarcus Russell

880
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,760
Speaker 1: could throw at seven hundred yards, but he couldn't play

881
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:04,320
Speaker 1: like Anthony Richardson, who is a work in progress. Like c. J.

882
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 1: Stroud's not really a work in progress. Obviously you can

883
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 1: get better when you're young, but his style is kind

884
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 1: of a style where Anthony Richardson's still a little erratic.

885
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 1: Balls fly. He went nine of nineteen yesterday for like

886
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 1: two hundred yards and two touchdowns. Threw a bad pick,

887
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 1: but his second touchdown over the middle on like a

888
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: deep in where the defender for most guys probably picks

889
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 1: it off because a guy's not throwing one hundred and

890
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 1: fifty miles an hour, but he throws just an absolute

891
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 1: rope that hits the wide receiver faster than you can

892
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 1: even blink. Like, his physical attributes are everything you want

893
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 1: in a quote unquote project. Then you just hope he's

894
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 1: willing to work. He's because if you work hard at

895
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:51,359
Speaker 1: it and you have the football smarts, you can naturally improve. Now,

896
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 1: was he ever gonna be you know, Drew Brees accuracy

897
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,359
Speaker 1: or Steve Young? Probably not, but that is a very

898
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 1: talented player. Houston w I think Houston's headed toward thirteen

899
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 1: fourteen wins. I think the Colts are ten to eleven

900
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 1: win team like that, that's a playoff team. And the

901
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: physicality in that game, I mean, Joe Mixon running for

902
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty yards looked fantastic. If the Texans

903
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,879
Speaker 1: are gonna get that running back Diggs had a couple

904
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 1: of touchdowns. He's really their third wide receiver. That's a

905
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 1: good squad. Love de Miko, love Slowck. That was a

906
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,240
Speaker 1: fun game. And last but not least, and I mentioned

907
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 1: this to Colin, Props to Jerry, who just understands TV,

908
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 1: understands marketing. He put that story out for a reason

909
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 1: on Sunday morning, like this is our day, boys, We're

910
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 1: gonna own the morning before anyone kicks off with the

911
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 1: number one story. And then obviously we got the Tom

912
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 1: Brady game, so they're gonna be talking about Dallas not

913
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 1: just for the four hours of the game, but for

914
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:50,920
Speaker 1: like two and a half before it. And to think

915
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 1: that like, yeah, we just we'll just sign them and

916
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: they start doing it on Friday. Clearly they had been

917
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: working on this thing for a while and I would

918
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:01,759
Speaker 1: imagine it's basically been done. List what was said this

919
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 1: was this was a marketing ploy which works, and Jerry

920
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 1: likes being in the headlines, even if he's naturally in

921
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 1: the headlines anyway. But sometimes, you know, Colin had an

922
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:19,839
Speaker 1: old saying, don't try to be happier than happy, And

923
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 1: sometimes we always try to upgrade coaches. It's a cool

924
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 1: part about football, like can we do better? Should we

925
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 1: fire this guy? In all off season it was like,

926
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: is McCarthy and Sirianni on the hot seat? Why get

927
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:35,279
Speaker 1: the Sirianni thing? Because you go, what's he really doing?

928
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,440
Speaker 1: Where you look at Mike McCarthy, who has won a

929
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,760
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and was you know, the head coach slash

930
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 1: offensive mine for one of the greatest quarterbacks we've ever

931
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:48,320
Speaker 1: seen in Rogers in Green Bay. And now he's currently

932
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator as well as the head coach for

933
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. And in twenty twenty three, Dak had

934
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:57,240
Speaker 1: the best year of his career through thirty six touchdowns

935
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:00,320
Speaker 1: and nine interceptions. Now, until they answer the bell and Jamnuary,

936
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 1: that conversation isn't gonna go away. But he's won twelve

937
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 1: games three straight years. I think they got a very

938
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 1: good chance to win the division again. Them and the

939
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 1: Eagles to me are a coin flip, and his quarterback

940
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: excels under him. So like, Bill's out there and it's

941
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,400
Speaker 1: a conversation that's not gonna go away. But let's say

942
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,919
Speaker 1: McCarthy wins twelve games again and lose in the second round,

943
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:25,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna fire him for Bill. Well, Bill's not the

944
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. Bill's gonna bring in Josh McDaniels. You just

945
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 1: gave Dak Prescott two hundred and thirty million dollars, which

946
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 1: he now, by far is your most important asset in

947
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 1: your franchise. It's not even close. So whenever you invest

948
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 1: highly into something in any industry, you kind of got

949
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 1: to put all your focus toward that thing because you

950
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 1: needed to succeed. It's what the Browns try to do

951
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,319
Speaker 1: with Deshaan Watson turns out he's unsalvagable. Well, this is

952
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 1: working with Dak. You know this is one million percent working.

953
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: Why would you mess with it? Is it inconceivable? If

954
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys just have a solid start, doesn't Jerry just

955
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 1: go like, is it really gonna get that much better

956
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 1: in this? Why would I risk this thing going the

957
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:09,320
Speaker 1: other way? Because right now I know for a fact

958
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:11,399
Speaker 1: I'm a playoff team every year with Mike and Dak,

959
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 1: Why would I just want to keep that rolling? And

960
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: as I've said, football is a little weird, Like the

961
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 1: only thing we've really learned the last twenty five years

962
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 1: is Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. If you're playing them

963
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,319
Speaker 1: in January, or Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, they're gonna

964
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: beat you. But everyone else, like Eli got hot a

965
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 1: couple times, Joe Flacco got hot, Cam Newton one year,

966
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 1: got Matt Ryan got hot, like Dak is capable of

967
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 1: just two good games. All of a sudden, you're in

968
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship Game. It is very plaus It has

969
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 1: not happened. It doesn't mean it won't happen. Who would

970
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 1: have thought two years ago Brock Purdy would have been

971
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 1: a starting quarterback in a Super Bowl. This Dallas team

972
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 1: is really good. They do a great job, and Mike

973
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: deserves credit for drafting offensive lineman high and then immediately

974
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 1: inserting them and having them function. They started a rookie

975
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:00,879
Speaker 1: left tackle who's a late first round pick who coming

976
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:03,359
Speaker 1: out of college was viewed as very raw against the

977
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:07,360
Speaker 1: defensive player of the year, and it went pretty damn well.

978
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 1: So like, if I was Jerry, honestly, I would extend

979
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy and maybe if you're Mike, Like, I'm not

980
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 1: taking a low ball because if you were to fire me,

981
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 1: I'm better than ninety ninety percent of anyone that's going

982
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 1: to be out on the open market. Look at my resume.

983
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 1: So I think the situation yesterday Dak getting the extension

984
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 1: was really really good for Mike. And if I had

985
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: to make a prediction, I bet Mike has a contract

986
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 1: extension before midway of the season if the Cowboys are

987
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: winning football games, which I would expect them to do. Okay,

988
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 1: let's do a little mailbag at John middlecoff is the

989
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 1: Instagram fire in those dms, get your questions answered on

990
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 1: the show. Someone sent me this app. I have to

991
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: go relook up the app. But like you know, famous

992
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 1: people charge. Some people charge like ten grand to have

993
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,800
Speaker 1: a conversation. Now these are celebrities, these are like life coaches.

994
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 1: But you can also text and send text messages. Some

995
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: people charge like five bucks. Some people, you know, super

996
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:19,319
Speaker 1: famous people like fifty bucks. I was thinking maybe I

997
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 1: could do that app, and I have to look into

998
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:25,239
Speaker 1: that and guarantee you get on the show. I would

999
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 1: still do the Instagram that is free, but obviously some

1000
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 1: people just don't get their question to answered, and some

1001
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:32,880
Speaker 1: people keep hitting me up. It's like it's just the

1002
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 1: way the Instagram set up works. It's I'm just gonna

1003
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:41,919
Speaker 1: miss some It's not like Excel spreadsheet. But I'll start

1004
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 1: with Willie have a question for the mailbag. Why does

1005
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:50,880
Speaker 1: it seem like anytime Burrow has a stinker, the media

1006
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 1: just glosses over it. He was awful against the Patriots,

1007
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 1: and I think we're starting to see that Burrow looks

1008
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 1: like without the Avengers in his wide receiver room. How

1009
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:03,280
Speaker 1: long will he keep living off the fluke win against

1010
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:05,799
Speaker 1: the Chiefs from three years ago. He's not in the

1011
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 1: top three mahomes Alan lamar Uh I would say this,

1012
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 1: Let's use yesterday as an example, which is has to

1013
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:23,439
Speaker 1: be one of the worst losses of the day. At

1014
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 1: home Patriots, you score ten points. Jacobe Brisquette throws for

1015
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:29,400
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty yards, no way around it. Props

1016
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:33,319
Speaker 1: to drid Mail had the boys ready. That was one

1017
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:36,400
Speaker 1: of the least interesting games for me as a consumer.

1018
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 1: I didn't really pay attention. It was on one of

1019
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:42,960
Speaker 1: my boxes, but I was rarely looking over there, and

1020
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 1: I think I speak for most of the country. Most

1021
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 1: people are not watching that game, and that includes people

1022
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:50,880
Speaker 1: that talk about football for a living. So when you

1023
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 1: think about the games you're going to discuss, that's not

1024
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 1: a big story after week one because like Caleb and

1025
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 1: the Bears, obviously the Steelers and Justin Fields beating Atlanta clearly,

1026
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:10,240
Speaker 1: Dak and Deshaun Watson, when you play the Patriots and listen,

1027
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 1: great win for the Patriots, I don't think they're going

1028
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:15,959
Speaker 1: to be any good. So that game in the hierarchy

1029
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 1: of importance, in the business of talking about stuff, in

1030
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 1: the business of the masses watching it is low on

1031
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 1: the totem pole. This week it changes. He plays the Chiefs.

1032
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 1: So if they do that again against the Chiefs, which

1033
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 1: is in a primetime slot, not primetime, but Sunday afternoon window,

1034
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 1: which is one of the biggest games in America, Nanson Romo,

1035
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 1: there are gonna be a lot of people watching that

1036
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 1: thing Sunday afternoon. If they look like that again and

1037
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 1: get boat raced, it will be one of the biggest

1038
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 1: stories on Monday morning. Oh and two, bur looks like shit.

1039
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:54,440
Speaker 1: His wrist. Is he okay, what's up with Jamar Chase

1040
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 1: saying that he wants more money than Justin Jefferson. It

1041
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 1: would just get weird. But I do think they get

1042
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:02,200
Speaker 1: to skate under the radar a little bit because of

1043
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 1: the team they play. If they had just played the Ravens,

1044
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 1: if they had just played the Chiefs, if they had

1045
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 1: just played the Cowboys, if they had just played the Packers,

1046
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 1: it would be a bigger story. Part of it is

1047
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 1: like the post Belichick Jacoby Brissett Patriots. This is I'm

1048
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,640
Speaker 1: not saying this like with any malicious intent. Are kind

1049
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 1: of irrelevant. Big Broncos fan is from Brad been following

1050
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 1: since the Manning trade free agent signing. But I hear

1051
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 1: what you're saying. In twelve, I'm twenty four. In the

1052
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 1: past decade has been terrible question for the pod. Do

1053
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 1: you put the Broncos offensive struggles against Seattle on bow

1054
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: knicks and their lack of skill positions or Seattle's defense

1055
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 1: better than expected with a tough road environment. I would

1056
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:54,960
Speaker 1: say any rookies first road start is a difficult proposition.

1057
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 1: Now they covered, so props to them. I had a

1058
00:58:57,400 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 1: little cash on them plus six and it was getting

1059
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 1: dice seated near the end. Places loud and Mike McDonald

1060
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 1: is a really good defensive coordinator. Their personnel on defense

1061
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 1: is better than it is performed. But their pass rush

1062
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 1: was pretty feisty and they got good dbs. But bo

1063
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 1: Nicks looked like a rookie and did some stupid shit.

1064
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 1: I mean, the one Picky threw in to the front

1065
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:22,560
Speaker 1: of the pylon with is a novel throw. He looked

1066
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 1: a little frenetic, inaccurate. He looked like a rookie, and

1067
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 1: we talked about it earlier on the podcast, like that's

1068
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 1: how rookies look sometimes. They looked overwhelmed. Now, you guys

1069
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 1: don't exactly have Julius Thomas, de Marius Thomas and Wes

1070
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 1: Woker run around out there, so it's a little more

1071
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 1: difficult in a road environment. It's still gonna be a

1072
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 1: really tough start to the season for Denver because they

1073
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 1: played Pittsburgh this week. Big picture, though, I would try

1074
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 1: to be pretty optimistic, and I am optimistic, like I

1075
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 1: believe in this duo even if it's gonna be rough,

1076
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 1: invest in socks that are going down when I believe

1077
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 1: in him, and you just have to have the stomach

1078
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 1: to take twenty thirty forty downturns, And that's what I

1079
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 1: would imagine. Maybe the first month of the season is

1080
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 1: like for Bonnecks and Sean Payton. But I'm gonna keep buying.

1081
01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna fade off like, oh I was wrong there,

1082
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:21,880
Speaker 1: because I think I'll be proven right over the long term.

1083
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 1: You'll be able to get me early. How am I

1084
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 1: supposed to believe in my coach when he's scared to

1085
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 1: go forward on fourth and one when you're over midfield

1086
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:33,000
Speaker 1: and there's a chance you don't get the ball back.

1087
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:37,480
Speaker 1: The defense was clearly gassed. Where is his feel for

1088
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 1: the game? Feels like a DeVante trade is inevitable and

1089
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 1: we're going to be terrible for the next two years minimum.

1090
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 1: You know what's funny is Antonio Pierce, who middle linebacker,

1091
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 1: tough guy, badass right, Like you'd want him in your

1092
01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: foot on your football team when he was playing. You'd

1093
01:00:57,320 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 1: want him if you were gonna get into a tussle

1094
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:01,600
Speaker 1: in real life, you'd want him in a dark alley

1095
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 1: by your side. And he talks that way right, A

1096
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 1: lot of bravado, a lot of cockiness because in his

1097
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 1: life he's been able to beat up basically anyone he sees.

1098
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:13,439
Speaker 1: He's a super Bowl champion, like he's a tough guy.

1099
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:17,480
Speaker 1: Yet when those guys become coaches, they get put in

1100
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:21,440
Speaker 1: some of these situations and they act like complete puss

1101
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 1: because their defensive background and the way he's been taught,

1102
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:29,720
Speaker 1: like that's the right football play, but in twenty twenty four,

1103
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 1: it's a joke to do that. So I saw that

1104
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 1: when his quote after the game because he punted back

1105
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 1: on a fourth and one is it was like the

1106
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 1: most there's a coward ranking that this company puts out

1107
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 1: and they usually tweet it out, and I see it

1108
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:50,000
Speaker 1: retweeted in my timeline over the worst decisions on some

1109
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 1: of these, Like there's a difference to me between being

1110
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:57,560
Speaker 1: reckless Doug Peterson was in the Jags Miami game and

1111
01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 1: doing this. You have nothing to lose but the game,

1112
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,440
Speaker 1: and you're not winning it. In your quarterback's Gardner Minshew,

1113
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:08,000
Speaker 1: So when you get a spot to be aggressive, you

1114
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:10,800
Speaker 1: have to take advantage. And this is not a situation

1115
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 1: where either team's scoring a lot of points, so getting

1116
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 1: in position, you're not getting there very often. And then

1117
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 1: he tried to justify by saying, you know what, we

1118
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 1: did what we wanted to do. We pinned them back.

1119
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:24,640
Speaker 1: They just broke a big run. Well yeah, part of

1120
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:28,560
Speaker 1: when you punt. Even if you pin them, they're one

1121
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 1: mistackle away from getting a fifty yard game and you're

1122
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 1: completely screwed. So I never understand, though we see it

1123
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:40,720
Speaker 1: time and time again, these big tough guys to talk

1124
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 1: that way, that carry themselves that way because they've earned

1125
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 1: it in life, and then coach like a coward. You know,

1126
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:51,800
Speaker 1: I was just to give Dan Campbell credit. I don't

1127
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 1: always agree with him, but he walks the walk. He

1128
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 1: talks the talk, and then he lives it like we're

1129
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 1: gonna be a tough guy, aggressive team, and sometimes you

1130
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:06,560
Speaker 1: could argue to reckless, but he ain't scared. And he

1131
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 1: said that when he got the Detroit job. I vividly

1132
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:12,520
Speaker 1: remember watching an interview he did. He's like my core

1133
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 1: as a football player, I've been trained to be conservative.

1134
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:20,440
Speaker 1: I came up in that era I played under Bill Parcells.

1135
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:24,320
Speaker 1: It wasn't until I worked under Sean Payton. Know, sometimes

1136
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 1: you gotta put your nuts on the table, especially week one.

1137
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 1: It's week one. Why would you not be aggressive? So

1138
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 1: embarrassing moment for him. It really is. I think the

1139
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 1: Raiders have They're just in trouble. Gardner Minshew's is not

1140
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 1: gonna be good enough for him, not even close. Matthew

1141
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 1: Stafford played unbelievable. I mean in the second half, he

1142
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 1: was slinging it. No look passes amazing arm talent and

1143
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 1: he's a little old but clearly still has it. Could

1144
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:59,080
Speaker 1: he be a dark horse for MVP depending on how

1145
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 1: the Niners play, how deep a playoff run? Could you

1146
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:07,440
Speaker 1: see the Rams making well? Health is a major major concern,

1147
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:10,680
Speaker 1: you know, to play out of your mind like he

1148
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 1: was playing with all the injuries that happened to them

1149
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:15,760
Speaker 1: and still loses a pretty big kick in the nuts

1150
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 1: because I read it a Puka has a PCL injury.

1151
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:24,400
Speaker 1: They placed him on injured reserve and McVeigh said, this

1152
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 1: is a similar injury that he had earlier, but it's

1153
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:31,439
Speaker 1: way worse. That's a that's a problem, and it's it's

1154
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:36,000
Speaker 1: it's any guy that plays in the NFL, it's a

1155
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:38,920
Speaker 1: backup or a practice squad. Guy can play a solid game,

1156
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:41,640
Speaker 1: but usually the reason that guy's a backup and not

1157
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 1: a starter is because over the course of time. If

1158
01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:47,600
Speaker 1: that player has to play for a month instead of

1159
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 1: half a game, he gets exposed. And Stafford was getting

1160
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:56,040
Speaker 1: hit and hit hard last night. So can they play.

1161
01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:58,960
Speaker 1: I don't have their updated injury, but we'll know as

1162
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:00,400
Speaker 1: the week goes on. Like are they to be missing

1163
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 1: a bunch offensive linemen because it's it's really hard to win.

1164
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:09,960
Speaker 1: Does he have MVP capabilities if they're healthy? One, let's

1165
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:13,960
Speaker 1: look at their early schedule. So they get the Cardinals

1166
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:20,160
Speaker 1: this week in Arizona. Okay, winnable game, but that's not

1167
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 1: easy because Kyler's a tough little guy to play. That'll

1168
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:27,320
Speaker 1: be a tough game. Then they play the Niners at home,

1169
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:30,440
Speaker 1: which will be a forty nine er home game. Then

1170
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:33,440
Speaker 1: they got to go to Chicago. It has a pretty

1171
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:37,160
Speaker 1: good defense. So let's just see how they handle it.

1172
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 1: Because if you win that game last, if you pull

1173
01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:42,720
Speaker 1: that out, you're a lock to be like two and two. Now,

1174
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 1: it's like you can play pretty well and all of

1175
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:46,920
Speaker 1: a sudden, are you one and two going into that

1176
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 1: Bears game on the road. So I like the team,

1177
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:55,840
Speaker 1: I like their competitive character, love Stafford, but that was

1178
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:58,240
Speaker 1: a tough loss last night. Given they had the lead,

1179
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:02,760
Speaker 1: they had all the injuries. It's tough. What are your

1180
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 1: thoughts in the overtime rules? I wasn't a fan of

1181
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:07,560
Speaker 1: any team in Sunday night game, so coming at this

1182
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:11,480
Speaker 1: from a neutral position, how can they improve it and

1183
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:13,560
Speaker 1: not puts so much at stake on the coin toss.

1184
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:17,600
Speaker 1: I've had a couple ideas, like make each team kick

1185
01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:20,920
Speaker 1: increasing long field goals, or give each team two minutes

1186
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 1: and two timeouts on each side of the ball. You

1187
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 1: know what sucks is why change the rule for the

1188
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 1: postseason and not do it for the regular season. Why

1189
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:36,520
Speaker 1: not just do it all season long, regular season in postseason.

1190
01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:40,360
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I don't like a touchdown wins the game.

1191
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 1: But if you kick a field goal they get the ball.

1192
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:47,920
Speaker 1: That feels kind of arbitrary and pulled out of your ass, Like,

1193
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:51,800
Speaker 1: why don't we just like kick a field goal then

1194
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:53,919
Speaker 1: the other team gets the opportunity to kick the same

1195
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:55,600
Speaker 1: field goal. Like, you could make up any rule you

1196
01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:58,960
Speaker 1: want it, so I would just have it simply like

1197
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:06,040
Speaker 1: the playoff r if both teams get the ball like now,

1198
01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 1: I think the Rams were pretty gassed at that time,

1199
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:13,520
Speaker 1: so more than likely the right team won in overtime.

1200
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:18,720
Speaker 1: But my first reaction last night when they kind of

1201
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:20,960
Speaker 1: said right away touchdown wins it, It's like, oh yeah,

1202
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 1: we're not playing the playoff rules in the regular season.

1203
01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:26,720
Speaker 1: I think it sucks. It's why Andy Reid fought for it.

1204
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 1: You should both get a chance. For some reason. I've

1205
01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:34,720
Speaker 1: been a Browns fan since I was thirteen. I'm thirty now,

1206
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:37,840
Speaker 1: there hasn't been a whole lot to be excited about.

1207
01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 1: Is this year likely their only chance for success? Their

1208
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:46,520
Speaker 1: roster is pretty good at least I think is Watson

1209
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:48,960
Speaker 1: going to ruin any shot of a playoff run and

1210
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:51,920
Speaker 1: the Browns future for years to come? Do I need

1211
01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:54,600
Speaker 1: to give up on being a Browns fan? Thanks? Ps,

1212
01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:56,960
Speaker 1: tried to get this in last week. Seems fitting now.

1213
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:01,840
Speaker 1: I think as long as de Shan Watsons your quarterback,

1214
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:06,880
Speaker 1: you have no shot. He's played one half of good

1215
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:12,240
Speaker 1: football in all of his Browns games. He's a disaster.

1216
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:16,639
Speaker 1: And I saw Stefanski was like, we got our protection

1217
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:19,360
Speaker 1: was terrible, we got a block better. Part of paying

1218
01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:23,840
Speaker 1: him all that money was to overcome poor blocking because

1219
01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:26,559
Speaker 1: he was a great athlete, he was a playmaker. Well

1220
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 1: he's a terrible playmaker now, you know, the craziest part

1221
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 1: I thought of yesterday's game that no one's really going

1222
01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:36,559
Speaker 1: to talk about how many times on go routes or

1223
01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 1: deep end zone shots did he just would let leave

1224
01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:43,200
Speaker 1: his hand. They're like, oh, this is a bomb? Would

1225
01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:46,320
Speaker 1: the ball go fifty yards past the wide receiver? In dB,

1226
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:50,160
Speaker 1: he threw a couple into the stands? Now, even if

1227
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:52,920
Speaker 1: he's is he trying to throw every single ball away?

1228
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:57,680
Speaker 1: Maybe he would say he was, but I would doubt it,

1229
01:08:58,320 --> 01:09:01,599
Speaker 1: Like has he just lost all his touch? He feels

1230
01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:04,240
Speaker 1: like anyone that plays golf can relate to this. When

1231
01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:05,920
Speaker 1: you're just in the middle of a round and you're like,

1232
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:08,200
Speaker 1: I've lost my swing, Like what do you mean? Like

1233
01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:10,640
Speaker 1: I don't really even know how to swing, I have

1234
01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:13,360
Speaker 1: no confidence in anything. That's what he feels like when

1235
01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:17,200
Speaker 1: he's playing. It's like he just is lost, which is

1236
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:20,360
Speaker 1: crazy because he was always such like an instinctive, innate player,

1237
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:24,320
Speaker 1: and now it feels like that's completely gone. He's never

1238
01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:26,320
Speaker 1: been a guy that plays in the construct of just

1239
01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:29,160
Speaker 1: a normal offense. He's always kind of been a freelance guy.

1240
01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:31,839
Speaker 1: But if you can't freelance and that's your type player,

1241
01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:35,320
Speaker 1: you're kind of screwed like Russell can't freelance anymore, but

1242
01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:38,759
Speaker 1: he can still think and duncan around like Deshaun doesn't

1243
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 1: really do that well either, So hard to look at him.

1244
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:46,000
Speaker 1: Body language is terrible. Looks like his teammates hate him.

1245
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:50,600
Speaker 1: The amount of money you guys are paying him, and

1246
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:53,479
Speaker 1: I think they moved money around recently to like change

1247
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:59,280
Speaker 1: up salary cap. You're just screwed. So the reason you

1248
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:01,680
Speaker 1: guys were good, Let's face his Flacco came in and

1249
01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:05,720
Speaker 1: was incredible. He was way better Deshaun Watson one. He

1250
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 1: would get rid of the ball fast. This guy just

1251
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 1: holds onto the ball. Falcons fan who has a question

1252
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:13,920
Speaker 1: for the mailbag after watching Kirk play out of the

1253
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:17,679
Speaker 1: pistol and shotgun for most of the game while also

1254
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:21,599
Speaker 1: not looking very mobile, I'm very worried that we burned

1255
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:24,559
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars on a guy that doesn't look

1256
01:10:24,680 --> 01:10:28,920
Speaker 1: much better in Big Ben in his twilight years? Is

1257
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 1: this Kirk shaking out the Russ for week one? We

1258
01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:37,800
Speaker 1: start calling for Pennix to play. He's not a good athlete,

1259
01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:41,920
Speaker 1: never has been, so putting him in situations where he

1260
01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 1: has to run for his life. He's screwed. The way

1261
01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:48,240
Speaker 1: Cousins plays well is when he's getting rid of the

1262
01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:52,680
Speaker 1: ball fast, or you can protect like Goff. Goff's good

1263
01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 1: when he has a good offensive line because he can

1264
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:56,920
Speaker 1: sit there in the pocket. Same with Derek Carr. If

1265
01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:59,599
Speaker 1: you ask Cousins to ad lib, there is no ad lib.

1266
01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:03,519
Speaker 1: He doesn't have the capability. So yesterday TJ. Watt, Highsmith,

1267
01:11:03,560 --> 01:11:08,160
Speaker 1: those guys were in his shit. He screwed. If you

1268
01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:10,599
Speaker 1: can rush Cousins, this is where he has a lot

1269
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:14,240
Speaker 1: in common with car It's over, and it's overfast, and

1270
01:11:14,240 --> 01:11:16,960
Speaker 1: then he gets rattled and he completely falls apart. When

1271
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:19,000
Speaker 1: he's getting untouched and he gets a rhythm, that's where

1272
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:23,040
Speaker 1: he looks like a forty million dollar guy. My whole

1273
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:27,360
Speaker 1: take was I had no problem with signing him, but

1274
01:11:27,439 --> 01:11:30,240
Speaker 1: this then then draft Pennix. It's like, well, were we

1275
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:32,639
Speaker 1: sure that Pennis wouldn't be equally as I think Patrick's

1276
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:35,040
Speaker 1: gonna be a good NFL player. So if I was

1277
01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:37,720
Speaker 1: a Falcons fan, I got a short leash on this.

1278
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:42,759
Speaker 1: I don't want to watch much if historically most people

1279
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:46,320
Speaker 1: that have this injury were never the same most people

1280
01:11:46,360 --> 01:11:49,200
Speaker 1: that get injured like this, I'm recording this part before

1281
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 1: Rogers plays. But Rogers was an infinitely better athlete than Cousins.

1282
01:11:55,800 --> 01:12:01,040
Speaker 1: One of his great attributes was moving around. Was never

1283
01:12:01,080 --> 01:12:02,920
Speaker 1: that Cousins was a bad end of it, because like

1284
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:06,880
Speaker 1: Tom Brady running the forty at the combine. So once

1285
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:10,120
Speaker 1: you draft Panics, it gets weird. I think your offensive

1286
01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:14,080
Speaker 1: skill guys are a little overrated. We talk about some

1287
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:16,120
Speaker 1: of these guys before they've done anything like wow, they

1288
01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:19,520
Speaker 1: got like Marshall fall two point zero and Tony Gonzalez

1289
01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:25,400
Speaker 1: and uh Julio Jones. It's like, no, not quite. Raheem

1290
01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:30,040
Speaker 1: Morris has done what that was. If I could do

1291
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:33,519
Speaker 1: yesterday over, I would have two teams I wish I

1292
01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:36,599
Speaker 1: would have emptied the clip on more and put all

1293
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:39,920
Speaker 1: my money that I've been willing to bet on. Would

1294
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:42,880
Speaker 1: have been the Steelers and the Cowboys. I love those

1295
01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:46,920
Speaker 1: two spots. Jags. I can't believe I bet on the Jags.

1296
01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:51,519
Speaker 1: I'm an idiot. Tomlin that spot against Cousins and Raheem

1297
01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:55,880
Speaker 1: Morris and the Cowboys against Deshan Watson. I liked him before,

1298
01:12:55,960 --> 01:13:01,560
Speaker 1: and I should have loved him even more. So I'd

1299
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:04,000
Speaker 1: have to go back and look what Cousins two years ago.

1300
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:08,800
Speaker 1: It feels like an O'Connell's offense under center. I don't know.

1301
01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:12,360
Speaker 1: I just I think it's gonna get weird. I think

1302
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:15,679
Speaker 1: it's gonna get really weird. But regardless who you're playing

1303
01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:18,759
Speaker 1: and whether he's under center or in the gun, if

1304
01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:23,560
Speaker 1: your team is getting smoked up front, Cousins is done.

1305
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:25,479
Speaker 1: And that goes when he played in Washington, when he

1306
01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:27,920
Speaker 1: played in Minnesota. When he plays for you, guys, if

1307
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:30,520
Speaker 1: you can't protect him, and it's hard. I mean TJ. Watt,

1308
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:33,840
Speaker 1: you could argue was the best player in the NFL yesterday.

1309
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:39,439
Speaker 1: It's a short list like Josh Micah Parsons, right, I mean,

1310
01:13:39,439 --> 01:13:42,000
Speaker 1: he was that good. When you get him in those

1311
01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:46,720
Speaker 1: spots like Cousins, is is a sitting duck. You think

1312
01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:52,479
Speaker 1: Dak gets that contract. If Trey Lance showed any potential, well,

1313
01:13:52,520 --> 01:13:55,559
Speaker 1: he showed no potential. So I think that they knew

1314
01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:58,800
Speaker 1: last year that it wasn't really a conversation. They had

1315
01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:01,920
Speaker 1: to see him in practice. But I would imagine that

1316
01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:06,920
Speaker 1: five interception game against the Chargers seven string players cemented it.

1317
01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:11,599
Speaker 1: But Trey Lance was their third stringer last year, and

1318
01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:15,639
Speaker 1: he was either third stringer again. So I I think

1319
01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:20,560
Speaker 1: Trey Lance like that conversation, that connection was a little overblown.

1320
01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:24,479
Speaker 1: I think ideally Jerry was thinking that when he made

1321
01:14:24,479 --> 01:14:27,760
Speaker 1: the trade. I think they knew before this offseason never

1322
01:14:27,800 --> 01:14:30,600
Speaker 1: started that, like, yeah, this guy's not he can't be

1323
01:14:30,640 --> 01:14:33,680
Speaker 1: a backup. He's not a backup quarterback. He's not a

1324
01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:36,439
Speaker 1: top I think he's like a bottom five quarterback in

1325
01:14:36,479 --> 01:14:40,400
Speaker 1: the entire NFL, including third stringers. He's obviously not one

1326
01:14:40,439 --> 01:14:43,600
Speaker 1: of the top sixty four guys in the NFL, and

1327
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:45,320
Speaker 1: he's not He's not one of the best sixty four

1328
01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:47,519
Speaker 1: guys in the NFL. It's like, if he's your backup,

1329
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:49,800
Speaker 1: you will lose. It's like when I see the Bills

1330
01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:51,360
Speaker 1: when Josh hurts his hand, It's like, you guys are

1331
01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:54,479
Speaker 1: gonna put Trubisky in the game. If you play Trubisky,

1332
01:14:54,520 --> 01:14:57,640
Speaker 1: you will lose. I never understand that. I'd rather just

1333
01:14:57,760 --> 01:15:00,559
Speaker 1: rotate through my backups than I have a guy that

1334
01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:02,479
Speaker 1: I know if my starting quarterback is injured in a

1335
01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:03,880
Speaker 1: game or he's got to start for a month, we're

1336
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:06,599
Speaker 1: gonna lose every eight I love the podcast. Would love

1337
01:15:06,640 --> 01:15:09,000
Speaker 1: to shave my head to join the Bald brotherhood, but

1338
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:11,720
Speaker 1: I'd look like an egg. So there you go. As

1339
01:15:11,800 --> 01:15:14,400
Speaker 1: much as I like your football takes, some financial advice

1340
01:15:14,439 --> 01:15:17,080
Speaker 1: has really caught my attention. What are some podcasts or

1341
01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:20,240
Speaker 1: other media outlets you would suggest for any quick advice.

1342
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:25,400
Speaker 1: I would listen to a lot of financial books and

1343
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:29,720
Speaker 1: any business book from I was just listening to. I

1344
01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:31,880
Speaker 1: haven't I've probably got halfway through. I end up listening

1345
01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:35,519
Speaker 1: to podcasts, so I don't finish audio books. But the

1346
01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:40,720
Speaker 1: business Sam Walton made in America, he's got to start

1347
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:43,800
Speaker 1: with Walmart about like in the sixties and seventies when

1348
01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:47,000
Speaker 1: he's building up that business is incredible. I love Josh

1349
01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:49,960
Speaker 1: Brown and he has this thing called the Compound. I

1350
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:51,720
Speaker 1: watch a lot of his YouTube videos and listen to

1351
01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:55,559
Speaker 1: with their podcast. There just solid financial advice. And you're

1352
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:58,040
Speaker 1: you're a lot younger than me. Start investing now. I

1353
01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:02,040
Speaker 1: mean it'll pay dividends as the older you get From

1354
01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:05,639
Speaker 1: my girlfriend's Instagram, don't have one. Do you think Sean

1355
01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:07,360
Speaker 1: Payton could get fired at the end of the year

1356
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:09,400
Speaker 1: if the Broncos win four or five games and Knicks

1357
01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:14,240
Speaker 1: looks poorly, No chance. I think Sean's getting like three

1358
01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:16,719
Speaker 1: years with Nicks. They're paying him a lot of money,

1359
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:19,160
Speaker 1: and what are you going to fire him for? Who?

1360
01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:21,840
Speaker 1: Speaking of Nicks, wanted to start off by letting you

1361
01:16:21,880 --> 01:16:24,519
Speaker 1: know I appreciate your insight. You're one of the best

1362
01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:28,360
Speaker 1: talkers of pure ball on the internet. That being said,

1363
01:16:29,479 --> 01:16:34,200
Speaker 1: you're in Collins. Anointment of Knicks was ridiculous. I get

1364
01:16:34,240 --> 01:16:36,639
Speaker 1: he as Peyton, but man, I watched him in Oregon

1365
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:39,440
Speaker 1: and Auburn and he struggles to push the ball downfield.

1366
01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:43,719
Speaker 1: You saw that yesterday or today. Also, you and Klatt

1367
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:48,000
Speaker 1: are the only people I've seen take Coward school. Twenty

1368
01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:51,040
Speaker 1: six completions for under one hundred and fifty yards is insane.

1369
01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:55,599
Speaker 1: Check down merchant. At least he's accurate under ten yards.

1370
01:16:56,200 --> 01:16:59,880
Speaker 1: There's only one Drew Brees. Like I said, I'm not

1371
01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:03,360
Speaker 1: given up. I'm not giving up. I don't expect him

1372
01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:06,960
Speaker 1: to be Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen pushing the ball

1373
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 1: down the field. I think he's gonna be. Okay, did

1374
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:14,400
Speaker 1: I anoint him? Maybe I did, But again, sometimes I

1375
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:18,000
Speaker 1: got caught up in the hype. I'm a human. Why

1376
01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:20,919
Speaker 1: did the Raiders opt for Luke Getsy as their offensive

1377
01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:25,200
Speaker 1: coordinator over someone like Kingsbury. Considering Getsy's offense struggled with

1378
01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:30,120
Speaker 1: the Bears and now seems underperforming with Vegas. I would

1379
01:17:30,120 --> 01:17:33,960
Speaker 1: say yesterday he did not underperform. His quarterback play is

1380
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 1: gonna be bad. Their offensive line is not good. So

1381
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:41,400
Speaker 1: I don't know Luke Getsy. This is not personal. I'm

1382
01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:43,320
Speaker 1: not like supporting a guy that i've known. I've never

1383
01:17:43,400 --> 01:17:45,559
Speaker 1: met the guy. I know nothing about him beside when

1384
01:17:45,560 --> 01:17:48,479
Speaker 1: he was the Bears offensive coordinator. But I think if

1385
01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:52,400
Speaker 1: you gave Andy Reid the Raiders offense for the rest

1386
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 1: of the season, while they would look better, they're not

1387
01:17:56,080 --> 01:18:00,280
Speaker 1: gonna be any good. They're not gonna be good. Tried

1388
01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:03,760
Speaker 1: to hire Cliff Kingsbury, and then Adam Peters got his

1389
01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:06,280
Speaker 1: owner to give him way more money and they took

1390
01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:09,479
Speaker 1: him to Washington. But I don't think Kingsbury would have

1391
01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:12,200
Speaker 1: changed much either, So I don't think it really would

1392
01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:17,880
Speaker 1: have mattered. Honestly, when your quarterback room is Aidan O'Connell

1393
01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:22,400
Speaker 1: in Gardner Minshew and you're the Raiders, it'd be one thing.

1394
01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:26,639
Speaker 1: It's like, well McVeigh or Kyle or Andy still probably

1395
01:18:26,720 --> 01:18:28,439
Speaker 1: not be great, but they would have some moments like

1396
01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:30,800
Speaker 1: I don't expect you guys to have moments. It's not

1397
01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:33,840
Speaker 1: gonna be pretty that there's nothing you can really do

1398
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:36,559
Speaker 1: about it. I've been listening to you for a long time.

1399
01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:41,040
Speaker 1: I'm originally from a royal grande. Both my parents went

1400
01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:44,639
Speaker 1: to cal Poly Central Coast Baby, but now I live

1401
01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:47,240
Speaker 1: out in Arizona. I actually worked for the owner of

1402
01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:49,840
Speaker 1: The Thumb. Saw your post a day and couldn't help

1403
01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:54,599
Speaker 1: but reach out. Thanks for my entertainment. This place. Maria's

1404
01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:56,960
Speaker 1: been telling me about it for a while. It's a

1405
01:18:57,000 --> 01:19:01,040
Speaker 1: gas station. Guy Fieri went there and it did a

1406
01:19:01,479 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 1: Triple D episode and she's like, let's go there. They

1407
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:07,920
Speaker 1: have great barbecue. When you pull up, it's just a

1408
01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:10,080
Speaker 1: gas I posted on my Instagram. I did a little

1409
01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:12,680
Speaker 1: reel you pull it's just a gas station. So if

1410
01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:14,280
Speaker 1: you didn't know, if you were just driving down the

1411
01:19:14,280 --> 01:19:17,479
Speaker 1: street and needed gas, unless you went inside, you would

1412
01:19:17,479 --> 01:19:21,040
Speaker 1: have no clue. You go in. It is a full

1413
01:19:21,080 --> 01:19:25,559
Speaker 1: on restaurant. It's a barbecue joint, which is really good,

1414
01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:29,679
Speaker 1: especially relative to gas stations, and it has an unreal

1415
01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:33,640
Speaker 1: like ice cream pastry spot, so you go inside. I

1416
01:19:33,680 --> 01:19:36,000
Speaker 1: got this thing called the Hangover. I wasn't even hungover,

1417
01:19:36,160 --> 01:19:38,640
Speaker 1: but the lady at the front said, get it and

1418
01:19:38,680 --> 01:19:42,960
Speaker 1: you can turn it into a burrito. It's like brisket onions, cheese,

1419
01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:47,080
Speaker 1: home fries topped with cheese. Maria got like a barbecue

1420
01:19:47,120 --> 01:19:50,280
Speaker 1: chicken sandwich. Onion rings were incredible. To Mac and Cheese,

1421
01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:52,080
Speaker 1: I didn't get, but a couple of people DM me

1422
01:19:52,160 --> 01:19:54,400
Speaker 1: that live around here that say that Mac and Cheese

1423
01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:57,200
Speaker 1: is elite place is sweet. So if you ever get

1424
01:19:57,200 --> 01:19:59,800
Speaker 1: a chance you're in North Scottsdale, it's kind of close

1425
01:19:59,840 --> 01:20:04,280
Speaker 1: to like TPC Scottsdale where the waste management is type

1426
01:20:04,360 --> 01:20:09,760
Speaker 1: into the thumb barbecue joint blown away. It's cool. I'm

1427
01:20:09,760 --> 01:20:12,320
Speaker 1: a sucker for I like a good hole in the wall.

1428
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:14,800
Speaker 1: Technically this is a hole in the wall because it's

1429
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:17,840
Speaker 1: a legitimate gas station and a car wash. You get gas,

1430
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:22,240
Speaker 1: your car washed, and you get a brisket sandwich. But

1431
01:20:22,280 --> 01:20:24,880
Speaker 1: it's not like you know sometimes gas station food. It's

1432
01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:27,360
Speaker 1: not like that. It's a restaurant. I mean there are chefs,

1433
01:20:27,400 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 1: people of the cooks. It was good. I purchased a

1434
01:20:33,200 --> 01:20:36,679
Speaker 1: subscription to Peacock Tonight to watch the Eagles and the packers.

1435
01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:40,040
Speaker 1: It's a couple of days old. However, after purchasing found

1436
01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:45,200
Speaker 1: out that Peacock does not allow recording of live TV programs,

1437
01:20:45,720 --> 01:20:49,200
Speaker 1: I literally canceled my subscription immediately. I work at an

1438
01:20:49,200 --> 01:20:52,200
Speaker 1: IT job overnight and I'm a huge NFL fan, so

1439
01:20:52,240 --> 01:20:54,800
Speaker 1: I could not watch the game live and therefore could

1440
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:58,080
Speaker 1: not watch the game. Peacock has its head up its

1441
01:20:58,200 --> 01:21:01,160
Speaker 1: ass and they are likely missing out on an additional

1442
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:05,920
Speaker 1: twenty million people getting this app. Sorry for the long message,

1443
01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:09,240
Speaker 1: but this is just a way and absolutely ridiculous on

1444
01:21:09,280 --> 01:21:16,120
Speaker 1: Peacock's behalf. Yeah, it sucks. I didn't know that I've

1445
01:21:16,120 --> 01:21:20,639
Speaker 1: been pro Peacock, but I've watched I guess every Peacock

1446
01:21:20,720 --> 01:21:22,960
Speaker 1: game that the NFL has had, and I watched the

1447
01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:26,400
Speaker 1: Oregon Bois a game live. I'm not a big watch

1448
01:21:26,439 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 1: games back guy. For the first time, I might watch

1449
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:32,160
Speaker 1: a game back to see something that I missed. But

1450
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:35,760
Speaker 1: so I'm a bad person to run that off. But

1451
01:21:36,760 --> 01:21:41,640
Speaker 1: you know, we all have different struggles in life. I

1452
01:21:41,680 --> 01:21:44,120
Speaker 1: had a mail back question about the Ravens. John Harbaugh.

1453
01:21:44,320 --> 01:21:47,080
Speaker 1: You've mentioned many times how you believe the Steelers should

1454
01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:50,400
Speaker 1: move on from Tomlin, as the standard of success shouldn't

1455
01:21:50,439 --> 01:21:53,880
Speaker 1: be just making the playoffs. At what point do we

1456
01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:57,040
Speaker 1: start holding Harball to the same standard as he is

1457
01:21:57,080 --> 01:22:01,439
Speaker 1: the CEO head coach. Well, they were the one seed

1458
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:04,639
Speaker 1: last year and hosted the AFC Championship game as a favorite.

1459
01:22:06,040 --> 01:22:10,360
Speaker 1: Like I would say that's if Tomlin had just done that,

1460
01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:13,360
Speaker 1: I would never have thrown out the Steelers should move on.

1461
01:22:14,200 --> 01:22:16,400
Speaker 1: He just keeps barely making the playoffs and then getting

1462
01:22:16,400 --> 01:22:22,360
Speaker 1: beat The Ravens dominated last year and then hosted the

1463
01:22:22,360 --> 01:22:25,720
Speaker 1: AFC championship game. If you're doing that, like you not

1464
01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:28,080
Speaker 1: in the hot seat, you're doing a really good job.

1465
01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:33,439
Speaker 1: So I would say that Harbaugh wins more. Harbaugh's been

1466
01:22:33,479 --> 01:22:38,320
Speaker 1: the number one overall seed. I think a couple times

1467
01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:42,080
Speaker 1: with Lamar Jackson didn't happen. Then now he lost. But

1468
01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:48,640
Speaker 1: when's the last time the Steelers. I guess they had

1469
01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:52,759
Speaker 1: a home playoff game the Corona year and the Browns

1470
01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:57,799
Speaker 1: kicked their ass. So in twenty nineteen they went fourteen

1471
01:22:57,800 --> 01:23:00,840
Speaker 1: to two, number one seed twenty twenty eleven and five

1472
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:07,599
Speaker 1: second round twenty twenty two. Remember Lamar got hurt. They

1473
01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:11,080
Speaker 1: still went ten and seven. Lost to the Bengals in

1474
01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:13,800
Speaker 1: a pretty good game. Last year, I mean they went

1475
01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:17,639
Speaker 1: thirteen to four. I would say that Harbaugh's just winning

1476
01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:24,520
Speaker 1: more than Tomlin right now. Honestly, that to me would

1477
01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:28,479
Speaker 1: would be the biggest difference between those two. If Harbaugh

1478
01:23:28,479 --> 01:23:31,240
Speaker 1: wins the division again this year, he's having more success

1479
01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:35,519
Speaker 1: if Tomlin was doing exactly what Harbad done the last

1480
01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:39,080
Speaker 1: five years. Obviously he has Lamar and Tomlin doesn't. But

1481
01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:42,400
Speaker 1: if Tomlin goes twelve wins this year and wins the division,

1482
01:23:44,360 --> 01:23:49,519
Speaker 1: nothing anyone can say. It's a pretty you know, cut

1483
01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:53,360
Speaker 1: and dry league. Right, only one person's winning the super Bowl.

1484
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:57,439
Speaker 1: But like, are you winning divisions? Are you hosting playoff games?

1485
01:23:58,200 --> 01:24:01,960
Speaker 1: Are you putting yourself in position to to win the conference?

1486
01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:05,200
Speaker 1: How do you look throughout the regular season? I think

1487
01:24:05,240 --> 01:24:08,519
Speaker 1: Hardboss team's just been much better over the last five

1488
01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:12,760
Speaker 1: years than Tomlins. Obviously that's quarterback play. But one team

1489
01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:16,880
Speaker 1: took Kenny Pickett number twentieth overall, and the other team

1490
01:24:16,920 --> 01:24:19,519
Speaker 1: took Lamar Jackson thirty second overall. If you one thing,

1491
01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:21,679
Speaker 1: if Lamar was the number one pick, he'd be like, well,

1492
01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:25,599
Speaker 1: of course they got him thirty second. The Steelers took

1493
01:24:25,680 --> 01:24:29,160
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett twenty one of the worst picks of all

1494
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:35,280
Speaker 1: turnament thanks For listening, the volume
