Uh, definitely the Sunday Night game, which I 13 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 1: think might still have a minute or two left, but 14 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: the Rams are kicking the Bears butt. Uh. Some thoughts 15 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: definitely there, and then we'll dive into a couple of 16 00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: the big storylines and we'll continue to get more into 17 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: it on Tuesday and also kind of look forward.

Of course, Volume Sports Now, Rocking and Rolling. 24 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: Listen to all the other podcasts. I was listening to 25 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: Jay Boy. He has an SEC podcast, but it's college football. 26 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: It's really good. Uh, he was on the right games. 27 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: I should have listened to him, he was. He nailed 28 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: a couple of picks. I've enjoyed that show. I've been 29 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: I've actually been listening to a couple episodes. I love 30 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: my College Football Fix. I will talk a little college 31 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: football today as well, because some big things happen on Saturday. 32 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: Actually Saturday, I mean, obviously this is week one. It 33 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: was an enormous day. It was really cool, don't get 34 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: me wrong. Yesterday was pretty sweet and it obviously started 35 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: with the Oregon game and so ARC in Texas losing. 36 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: Have a couple of thoughts there, but the Sunday night 37 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: game just wrapped up. I think sometimes we overthink this stuff. 38 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: It's really pretty simple, like you are much more powerful 39 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: as a human being when you have a partner in something. 40 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 1: Things are always harder to do by yourself. It's just 41 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: everyone listening can't agree, right. You can accomplish more when 42 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: you're in a relationship. When you're married, having that other 43 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: person with you, especially if it's the right person, you 44 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: can accomplish way more than you could buy yourself. Anyone 45 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: in business knows, no matter how dynamic you are, it's 46 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: irrelevant you are capped of what you can do as 47 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: a solo act. If you get the right partner, the 48 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: sky's limit because that person can balance out. That person 49 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: can bring things to the table that you don't have. 50 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: There has never been a good coach in the history 51 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: of pro sports team sports who have not had a 52 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: great dynamic player to coach, and football specifically, for the 53 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: most part, you need a dynamic quarterback. And as we 54 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 1: shot saw for the last four years with Sean McVeigh, 55 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: like he had a ceiling with what he could do. 56 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: With Jared Goff, he was with the more talented person 57 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: in the relationship. He was the one carrying Jared Goff 58 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: like he didn't you know, he could have made probably 59 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: fifty players in the NFL looks somewhat similar to that, 60 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: But if you gave him a top tennish guy who 61 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: knows what could happen. He saw for years when Andy 62 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: Reid got to Kansas City, Alex Smith, who was the 63 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: middle of the road quarterback and they were consistently winning ten, eleven, 64 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: twelve games. Then he got Patrick Mahomes and they've become 65 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: the best team in the league. They're unfucking stoppable. I mean, 66 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: it's just that simple, Sean McVeigh. You saw tonight. Matt 67 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: Stafford is in a different stratosphere as a talent then 68 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: Jared Goff. And I think because where he played Detroit, 69 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: most of us did not watch that many Lions games 70 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: unless you were die hard a f C North fan, 71 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: or whenever your team landed with the Lions on the 72 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: rotating schedule, and I guess we all watched at minimum 73 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: once a year when they played in the Thanksgiving Game. 74 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: But let's face it, he was one of the rare 75 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: quarterbacks who was paid a premium number one overall pick 76 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: that we really didn't consume that much. And everyone in 77 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: the league knows this, and I think all the fans 78 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: are gonna see this. This dude is a freak talent. 79 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: He is a really really good player. But now he 80 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: has a really really good coach who is the offensive 81 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 1: coordinator with a ton of good offensive talent around them, 82 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: Like the Sky's the limit for these two. It's why 83 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: ultimately Kyle Shanahan went out and hopefully Trey Lance can 84 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: become some big time player because he knew he was 85 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: capped with Jimmy Garoppolo, and Jimmy played pretty well today, 86 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: but big picture, he needs to get an elite talent. 87 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: He saw Andy Reid did it, Pete Carroll did it right. 88 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: Belichick had it for twenty years with Tom you have 89 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: to have that guy. In the modern day football, you 90 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: get away. Within the eighties, Bill Parcels had Phil Sims, 91 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: big time defense, run the ball, games, change the price 92 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: of admission. We all know what it is. You have 93 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: a top five eight is talent at quarterback. Gives you 94 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: a chance to win the Super Bowl. If you don't, 95 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,799 Speaker 1: it's gonna be very, very difficult. Just that simple period, 96 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: point blank, end of story. The Rams now have it, 97 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: and they were able to get it somehow with the 98 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,799 Speaker 1: crazy trade and Jared Goff it got him Matt Stafford 99 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: and it was worth every pick. And it's not gonna 100 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: be as easy as it was this Sunday night. But 101 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: it's clear like if anyone watched two series of that game, 102 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: you go, Okay, this is gonna work. This guy is 103 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: on a completely different level. Now, we'll see they'll get 104 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: in some tight games. Can he shake the hero syndrome 105 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: that he's had before in Detroit. We won't know that 106 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: until they get into a tight game with Seattle or 107 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: the forty Niners or the Packers, or it'll play itself 108 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: out right, they'll go through some bumps in the road. 109 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: But my mother could tell you, like, wow, this guy 110 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: is really good. This guy has got a chance to 111 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 1: I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, and I just 112 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: said it from a value standpoint, the ability to win 113 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: the m v P, but their ability to just kick 114 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: ass and take names. I mean, they're gonna be one 115 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: of the more dynamic offenses in the league with that 116 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: guy pulling the trigger. And then I think the other 117 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: big NFC game today it turned out that I think 118 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 1: NF the Saints kind of through their hat in the ring, like, hey, 119 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: don't forget about us, because, like I said with Sean McVeigh, 120 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: the huge part of the partnership in the NFL, like, 121 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 1: you can't have the partnership in the NFL unless you 122 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: have the elite coach, and we've seen like elite quarterbacks. 123 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: There are only so many, right, what's the famous saying 124 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: when someone gets in to break up, like there's a 125 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: lot of fish in the see. That is not the 126 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: case with coaching. There aren't a lot of fish in 127 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: the sea. If there were, there'd be great coaches everywhere. 128 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: There are a small amount. And Sean Payton has been 129 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: one of the better head coaches in the NFL for 130 00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 1: almost fifteen years now. And like McVeigh and liking the 131 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 1: Reid and like these offensive that he's also the play caller, 132 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: so he has a direct impact on half the game 133 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: literally because he's calling the plays. And they made a 134 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: pivot when Drew Brees retired or you know Drew Brees 135 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: that he retire on his own. However it all played 136 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: out somehow got hair on his head. Uh does a 137 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: good job on TV. I've been impressed so far with 138 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: Drew behind the mike, but it's like, how is Jamie's 139 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: gonna do? Here's what I know about elite offensive coaches. 140 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: Look at the history of the league that their greatest 141 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: value is their ability to resurrect people. And in the NFL, 142 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: especially a team like the Saints whose cap was in shambles, 143 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: they didn't have that much room they don't. They always 144 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: trade and picks. They didn't have ability to go pay 145 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: for a quarterback. They were drafted not high enough to 146 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: get one of the top quarterbacks. They had some limitations. Well, 147 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: Sean Payton, you pay him about eleven, twelve fourteen million 148 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: dollars a year. Sean Payton has been making like ten 149 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: plus million dollars a year for for like a decade, 150 00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: and you're seeing his value right now because you go, 151 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: he's that Drew Brees forever. Well, I kind of forget, 152 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: but he kind of created Drew Brees and the offense, Like, 153 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: does Drew Brees happen without him? Because ultimately I think 154 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: Sean Payton happens without Drew Brees. Now, clearly they were beneficial. 155 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: Like I talked about earlier, they were a great partnership, 156 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: but it just run its course. Not every partnership goes 157 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: till the end of time. Some end, right, and that 158 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: one ended because Drew couldn't throw anymore. This one was 159 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: some risk, but they didn't pay him any money. One 160 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: of the greatest abilities of an offensive coach is to 161 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 1: take a talented quarterback who has some issues, which means 162 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: you can usually get them for cheap they only paid 163 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: him a couple of millions, but they paid him like 164 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: a million dollars last year. They didn't have to pay 165 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: him that much money this year. Take some Hill makes 166 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: more than Jamis. But once upon a time, and rightfully so, 167 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: Jamis was a number one overall pick. He has a really, 168 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: really explosive arm. One modern day football, pushing the ball 169 00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: down the field is advantageous to dominating why because the 170 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: rules are there for you to run dull routes, for 171 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: you to run post routes. They cannot touch your wide receivers. 172 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 1: Drew Brees couldn't make those throws Jamis can. Now, the 173 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: question was can you fix Jamie's problems? And the majority 174 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: of coaches cannot. Bruce Arians, I don't even really think 175 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 1: try do. I think ultimately he could have. I do 176 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: because I think Bruce Arians like Sean Payton is elite, 177 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: and I think that Bruce Arians like Jamis Winston. But 178 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: the way that offseason played out, they were able to 179 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: get Tom Brady and they they just let Jami's walk right, 180 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: They didn't offer him a contract, and Sean Payton got 181 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: last year to kind of break him in and now 182 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: like you saw him reap the benefits, like this guy 183 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: is really talented, Shawn's deleted his job and they boat 184 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: race the Packers. Now, from the Packers standpoint, is it 185 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 1: something or is it nothing? I truly don't know. I 186 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: could easily take a stance and be like, this is 187 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: because Aaron didn't give a shit about his teammates. He 188 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: was in aue with Miles Teller and they were drinking 189 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: wine with their shirt off, skinny dipping, and yeah, I 190 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: don't know. Is that why they got their butts kick today? 191 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 1: Probably not. Sometimes you just lay an egg in the NFL. Yes, 192 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: ideally is it the first game? No? Is that a 193 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: great reflection of everything you've done for the last you know, 194 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: five and a half weeks of training camp. It's not 195 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: an ideal situation. But none of those guys play in 196 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: the preseason. But Matt Stafford didn't play in the preseason 197 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: and he looked fine in a brand new offense. Aaron 198 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: Rodgers now been in this offense for multiple years. He's 199 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: mastered it because he won the MVP last year and 200 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: he played, let's face it, one of the worst games 201 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: we've seen him play in years. He was atrocious, absolutely terrible. 202 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: He that the one Pickie through where he was kind 203 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: of tripping. Is this bad of a play? I don't 204 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: think he made that bad of a play all last 205 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: season for sixteen games. Now it was a little weird. 206 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: I guess for them, it was gonna be a road 207 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: game no matter what, So they don't get to really 208 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: make the excuse we ended up playing in Jacksonville instead 209 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: of New Orleans, Like why does it really matter to them? 210 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: And really, they are an outdoor team, so they should 211 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: be more at home playing on the grass than in 212 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: the dome. Like, I don't think they just get an excuse. 213 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna chalk this up as they just played like shit, 214 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: and they were awful, and they got their butts kicked 215 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: by a twelve million dollar coach, a franchise that has 216 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: done a lot of winning and doesn't look at the 217 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: Packers like they are some you know, superior franchise, right, 218 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: whether that's true or not. Going into the season, that's 219 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: not the way they were going to carry themselves. And 220 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,319 Speaker 1: then they got some momentum, they got the lead early 221 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: and it just snowballed. Sometimes things just snowball when you 222 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: have a bad game, or I'm not gonna discount the 223 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: possibility that there is something there that maybe just all 224 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: this stuff with Aaron Rodgers, it's just I think it's 225 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: fair to say it's something to keep an eye on. Now, 226 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: every single one of you the d m S meet 227 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: that's a Packer fan, They're easily have. Just in terms 228 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,959 Speaker 1: of numbers, I would say quantity one of the biggest 229 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: fan bases in actual people in in all of American sports. 230 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: It would be in the top seven eight list of Yankees, Lakers, Cowboys, Knicks, Packers, Steelers. 231 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: I mean, they are that level of a brand, right, 232 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 1: And my take has consistently been they're just too big 233 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: of a brand. I think Aaron knows what he had. 234 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: They'll figure this out. He'll just stay there. But you 235 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: know something that that does, you know, you know, take 236 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: into account my you know hypothetical that it's gonna go well. 237 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: I mean I would pick them to win the NFC 238 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: and they still easily could. No one remembers week you 239 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: go twelve and four, Well, what if you lost Week one? 240 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: Does anyone remember that three years later when I look 241 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 1: at your record, Oh, you went twelve and four and 242 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 1: you won to playoff games. No, but the way the 243 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: sport of football works. We react to the one game. 244 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: They played one game and they look terrible and they're 245 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: Let's face it, the sport of football isn't that complicated. 246 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 1: If you have the m v P in the league 247 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: and he's your starting quarterback and he plays one of 248 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: the worst games he's played in years, you're probably gonna lose. 249 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: So it really might just be that simple or there 250 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 1: maybe there's some just elephant in the room here that 251 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: Rogers hates everybody, but he's faking it now. But I 252 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: don't know. Davante doesn't have a contract, even though I 253 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: thought like watching I didn't think neither of them were. 254 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: They both were trying as hard as possible. But it's 255 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,719 Speaker 1: just something to keep an eye on. Uh. Huge win 256 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: for the Saints. An absolute ass kicking.

The 274 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: Chiefs in the Browns, listen, the three guys they're gonna 275 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: go down. What I think, you know, the greatest trio 276 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: of my lifetime. Whether this is that or not, I 277 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: have to really think about it, but the one that 278 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: comes to mind is Aikman, Emmett and Michael Right. They 279 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: want three Super Bowls together. Quarterback, a running back and 280 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: a tight end or excuse me, a quarterback of running 281 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: back in a wide receiver actually had a tight end 282 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: to Jay Nova Chack who's sweet as well. But the triplets, right, 283 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: the quarterback, the running back, and the tight end. That's 284 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: what the Chiefs have. But instead of the you know, 285 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: Emmett Smith, they have Tyreeke and Kelsey. They had Michael 286 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: Irvin and Emma Smith. And Mahomes is much better in Troy. 287 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: He's just a more dynamic player. Really, what Mahomes is 288 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: is he is Brett Farve, but he's mixed in with 289 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: like Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady because he has the 290 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: ability to intelligently play the sport where I'm not saying 291 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: Brett didn't, but he often pushed the envelope which led 292 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: to crazy interceptions, which is why he threw more interceptions 293 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: than anyone in league history. Where Mahomes will turn the 294 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: ball over and definitely have some turnover worthy plays, but 295 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: he also will make the Brett for remarkable play, but 296 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: also the genius level play that those guys would make 297 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: that sometimes Brett just wouldn't make. And Travis Kelsey is 298 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: a first ballot Hall of Famer and we'll go down 299 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: as one of the greatest playmakers in the history of 300 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: the league. And Tyree Hill might be when it's all 301 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: said and done. The greatest speed wide receiver ever. Now 302 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: you could argue that's Randy Moss, and if that's your argument, 303 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: that's fair. But when I'm just talking kind of smaller 304 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: speed guys, he's the most uniquely dynamic little guy I 305 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: think in the history of football. He is an unstoppable force. 306 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: And his coach Reid told me a couple of years 307 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: back that what makes him so great is he's a 308 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: genius as a football player. Andy can ask him to 309 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: do everything and anything and he retains it, learns it, 310 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: and understands it immediately. His football, like you, is off 311 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: the charts. Like obviously the way we talked about, Mahomes 312 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: checks every box you would ever want in a player. 313 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: He's arguably the perfect player, and he's one of the 314 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: more enjoyable players. I'd say, I'm thirty six years old 315 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: that I've ever watched right far Steph Curries, Michael Jordan's 316 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: Tiger Woods like that. That's that's the list the kids 317 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: already on. And he's like twenty five years old, twenty 318 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: six years old, and he just he's a breathtaking player. 319 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: But the two guys he's playing with are also also 320 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: the same. Right, Like I said, with Hill, Kelsey Is. 321 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 1: It's truly incredible, how consistently competitive the guy is. Right 322 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: at this point in time, he's won a ring, he's 323 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: on his third contract, he's made millions of dollars, he's 324 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 1: all pro pro bowler. Like his resume if it had 325 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: ended last season, like if he had never he would 326 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: have gone to the Hall of Fame. Yet he plays 327 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: like he's still trying to earn something. And you could 328 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 1: argue all three guys do. They're competitive. Culture of those 329 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: guys play like they haven't earned ship, like they're still 330 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: trying to make a wild card. Yet they are the 331 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: two time defending a f C champs. So every time 332 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: that they play an a f C powerhouse, which is 333 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: weird to consider the Browns, but let's face it, like 334 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 1: you watch the Browns by test team, like, holy ship, 335 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: they're pretty good. They're loaded, they're good players ever everywhere right, 336 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: It's like everywhere at every position you go, God, they 337 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: got difference makers. They truly do. It's it's wild to see, 338 00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 1: you know, is that't your you know, fifteen years ago 339 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: Brown's Stefanski who looks like, you know, he's kind of 340 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 1: got a George Clooney vibe going to him, he's like 341 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: George Clooney meets a Shannan because he runs the Jannan oppens. 342 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: But he's kind of got the Clooney salt and pepper beer. 343 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 1: Good looking guy, Ivy League. Now he's a millionaire, so 344 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's married. But if he's not, 345 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: I mean he's pretty eligible bachelor in the in the 346 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: city of of Cleveland, Ohio. But ultimately the Chiefs man, 347 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: I mean, that was just a culture win. They had 348 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: no business really winning that game, except they always have 349 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 1: business winning games because they have just three all time winners, 350 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: one starting with an all time talent at quarterback, and 351 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 1: these two other guys that are unstoppable, Tyreek Hill and 352 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey are legitimately unstoppable when it matters the most, 353 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: and every game that those three guys are on the field, 354 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: they will have the ability to say, we got three 355 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: players that you'll have no answer for. And you might 356 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: have Pro Bowl players on the other side, but our 357 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: three guys are simply better than anything you're rolling out 358 00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: and listen, I'm not gonna try to hate on Baker 359 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: Maye Field. I think he's solid. He's actually much better 360 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,439 Speaker 1: as a pro than I would imagine him being I 361 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 1: don't know, two or three years ago. But let's let's 362 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: call a spade a spade here. He really benefits from 363 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: the style of play in which his team operates under right, 364 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 1: they can slam the ball in the run game. I mean, 365 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: Chub is a baller Kareem Hunt. If he's your backup 366 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: running back like that is very conducive for a quarterback 367 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: like Baker Mayfield to have success when the when the 368 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,120 Speaker 1: running games going well and he can thrive and play 369 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: action and get some time because they're all biting on 370 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: the run, he can pick you apart. But as you 371 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: saw when the game was on the line and it 372 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,120 Speaker 1: was nut cutting time and it was like, hey, bro, 373 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,199 Speaker 1: can you just make a play because Mahomes can do 374 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: that with his eyes closed. Right, we'll talk about Benn 375 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: and the Bills here in a little bit. Ben for 376 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: the majority of his career he thrived in that environment. Right. 377 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: I could be playing like crap all day, all game long, 378 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 1: and for fifteen years of Big Ben's career he would 379 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 1: pull these plays. Ago. God, that's why that guy's a 380 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. It's what we all think Josh Allen 381 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: has in the bag. He didn't really do it today, 382 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 1: but we've seen him do it. Because of his physical characteristics, 383 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: there are just limitations. Baker tried to make a play 384 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: today that looked a little mahomesy. Pocket kind of collapsed, 385 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: he stepped up, he kind of scrambled. Well, he's not 386 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: a great athlete, so he's not gonna run away from anyone. 387 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: And his arm actually is pretty good when he set, 388 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: but when his body is not, you know, perfectly set, 389 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 1: he does not just have the Alan mahomes ability to 390 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: kind of fling it from the side of his wrist 391 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 1: and he throws the pick, you know, ultimately led to 392 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: a loss. And then the other big a f C game, 393 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: and you could argue these four teams. We'll see how 394 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,719 Speaker 1: the Ravens look on Monday Night, which is gonna be interesting. 395 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,439 Speaker 1: They just had a lot of devastating injuries. And I 396 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: think the Raiders actually last year the Raiders of the 397 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: Week two against the Saints at home. Now, granted it 398 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: was no fans, but no one thought they would win, 399 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: and they kind of kicked the Saints. But so I 400 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: kind of like the Raiders just because I think everyone's 401 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: gonna bet on the Ravens but I do think the 402 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: Ravens in this group of Chiefs, who are the clearly 403 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: the best team in the FC, and then the Steelers. 404 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 1: The Ravens, the Browns, and the Bills are all kind 405 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: of in that group and they'll just gotta battle it 406 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 1: out who's gonna be the healthiest when the season ends, 407 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 1: because they're all kind of built the play outside. They 408 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: have physical, tough minded coaches, all defensive oriented guys. But 409 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 1: I sometimes I do this, I think we discount Mike Tomlin. 410 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: We all this is the year the Steelers are gonna 411 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: come back. And I've said it before. I think that 412 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 1: Ben is more equipped to have success early in the 413 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: season it's warmer outside. His arm can't get stiff. He's 414 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,679 Speaker 1: thirty nine years old. He kind of gets chubby as 415 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: the season goes on. It's just human nature, right, He's 416 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: gonna be better when it's a little warmer, And that, 417 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: to me is something to keep an eye on. But 418 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 1: what you did see today is that franchise has an 419 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 1: ethos at a culture that runs deep through every single 420 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 1: human that has ever put on a uniform there, and 421 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,400 Speaker 1: when things get weird or when they're going well, they 422 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: always show up and they hit people in the teeth 423 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: and today was a great example. Like the Bills at 424 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: home they won't have able to have fans last year, 425 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,360 Speaker 1: and the Steelers just kind of ugly that game up 426 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: and then when it got to got tight, the eighty 427 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,199 Speaker 1: million dollar man just starts making place he had practiced 428 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,120 Speaker 1: all training camp and then all of a sudden, I'm 429 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: looking up in my TV t J. Watts running all 430 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: over the place like god, and then I look at 431 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: the box score, makeup Fitzpatrick led him in tackles. There 432 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: is just a culture and a mindset there. When you 433 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: keep that team around, they are tough man that they 434 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 1: really are. Now do I think they can make a 435 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 1: long run in the playoffs. That is all dependent on Ben, 436 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: and I think it's gonna be more difficult. Like I, 437 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: I would buy stock longer in the Bills as the 438 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: season goes. And the one thing with the Steelers, if 439 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: Ben was thirty three years old, I would have no 440 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 1: problem being like, yeah them in the Chiefs ANFC championship game, 441 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 1: but he's thirty nine. The elbow. I will take nothing 442 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: away from today, and I think that shows you they're 443 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: more likely to win eleven games than they ever are 444 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: seven because they're the freaking Pittsburgh Steelers. Just bottom line, period, 445 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: point blank, end of story. They're the Pittsburgh Steelers. And 446 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: I learned my lesson a couple of years ago when 447 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: I said, what are these idiots doing? Trade in the 448 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 1: first round pick from making Fitzpatrick, Duck, Hodges, Mason Rudolph, 449 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: all the terrible offense. Later somehow they went eight and 450 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: Nate eight and Nate. Do you know what teams like 451 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,959 Speaker 1: the Browns, like the Lions, like the Raiders would do, 452 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: would do for eight and eight seasons? The Steelers worst 453 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 1: season in a decade and a half, Duck, Hodges, Mason, Rudolph, 454 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: eight and Nate. That's what they do. So if ben 455 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: place seventeen games, even if it gets even if it's 456 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: struggles as the season goes on it gets cold outside, 457 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,360 Speaker 1: let's just face they're an eleven plus win team. Uh. 458 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: A lot of other stuff that happened today. I'll get 459 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: into more in depth come Tuesday. Stuff with the Eagles game, 460 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: the Eagles and Falcons, some stuff with Kyler Murray. He 461 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: was fantastic Seattle and Indie. I need to go back 462 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: and watch a couple of those games. I just saw 463 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: it on the red zone. It's hard to just you know, 464 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: you kind of like a helicopter parent, you know, you 465 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: fly in and fly out. Actually, I don't even know 466 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 1: if that's the what the definition of a helicopter parent. 467 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: That's always the one Disneyland Dad. I always get confused 468 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: with what those actually mean and the way that I 469 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 1: use them in my vernacular. But that's how I feel 470 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,880 Speaker 1: sometimes with a red zone, I just kind of come 471 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: in and out. And I don't get like staying with 472 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 1: the Miami the Miami New England game, Like I I'm 473 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: just coming in on red zone. It's seventeen to sixteen 474 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: final score. I don't feel like I have a great 475 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 1: feel for it. I have to watch the game. So 476 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 1: I was able to watch all the games that we 477 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: just talked about, and I watched a lot of college 478 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: football on Saturday. One thing really stood out to me, 479 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: and I think in college football, unlike the NFL, where 480 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: if you come to any team as a coordinator and 481 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 1: you start kicking asi and taking names and your head 482 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: coach is on the opposite side of the ball, Like 483 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 1: when Kyle Shanahan what he did for Atlanta, you knew, 484 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: like this guy can really scheme right, this guy is 485 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: gonna be really good at his job. Sean Payton Andy 486 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: Reid were like that when they were younger. You just 487 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: have different coaches. When you see them run an offense 488 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 1: with a defensive head coach, you go, I know what 489 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: this guy brings the table. I think it's a lot 490 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 1: harder to do in college football because when you're an 491 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator on a powerhouse team, Let's face it, in 492 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 1: the history of my life watching college football, those teams 493 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: are usually pretty good regardless who's calling plays. Tom Herman 494 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 1: was awesome with Urban Meyer. Stark was awesome with Pete 495 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: Carroll and Nick Saban. They kicked everyone's ass when he 496 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 1: was calling plays. I saw Steve Sarkisian be the head 497 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: coach for the University of Washington and he was recruiting fantastically. 498 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: They landed a ton of good players when he was 499 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: at Washington. All those guys ended up. I mean a 500 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,360 Speaker 1: bunch of Washington guys are in the NFL right now 501 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: because Steve Sarkisian recruited them. He struggled to go seven 502 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 1: and five at you dub year after year after year. 503 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,719 Speaker 1: Yesterday when he was getting his ass kicked by Arkansas. 504 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 1: I went to his football reference page and I looked 505 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 1: up what his best season was at UB It was 506 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: eight wins. The think of that dub though, But then 507 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: Chris Peterson went obviously, took him to the playoffs, won 508 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 1: eleven games multiple times. It was really successful. Why because 509 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: Chris Peterson is a much better head coach than Sark, 510 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: not even debatable that he's in a completely different universe. 511 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 1: But then when Stark went to USC, there were much 512 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: that there were a ton more people just kind of 513 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 1: watching it under a microscope. White se is a bigger 514 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: program than Washington nationally, just more important to the college landscape. 515 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: He lasted like a year and a half there, and 516 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: then he goes to Texas, where like USC, but probably 517 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: even on steroids, the amount of people that are gonna 518 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: focus in on every game, every snap, every play, the 519 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 1: amount of money that place is generating on a yearly 520 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: basis is gonna be unlike anything he's ever experienced, because, 521 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 1: let's face it, he didn't experience that at Alabama. He 522 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: was a coordinator. And when he was the coordinator at Alabama, 523 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 1: they had four first round wide receivers, multiple first round quarterbacks, 524 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: a first round running back, and now he's at Texas. 525 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: The expectations are pretty high because everyone told me it's 526 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 1: gonna be a seamless transition. Starts really good. Now, well, 527 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: now I watched sarkas head coach and he wasn't that great. 528 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,400 Speaker 1: Then he goes to Texas and gets as kicked by Arkansas. 529 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: Arkansas went three and seven last year. They were terrible. 530 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 1: They've been consistently terrible in the SEC. They've been arguably 531 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: one of the worst SEC programs over like the last decade. Honestly, 532 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: that game looked like USC playing cal Poly. It looked 533 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 1: like Texas if they were playing a Division one double 534 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: A team shoved them around. I think Stark's clock officially 535 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: started because there's not one person around the University of 536 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: Texas it's gonna view Arkansas as an equal because they shouldn't. 537 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: There's probably less than five kids on Arkansas's program that 538 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: were offered by the University of Texas. So bad start. 539 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,120 Speaker 1: But should we really be that shocked because I've seen 540 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: sark As a head coach and it was never good. 541 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: Have a great day, See you Tuesday, Audios.
