1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Best of the Week for What's Right 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: with Nick Right the best takes and moments from this 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: week on the show. Enjoy all right, Monday Night football 4 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: de Monsday, and we might have a problem. 5 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 2: Uh yeah, So the Bears came. It came out looking 6 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 2: pretty good. Caleb had that nice drive in the beginning 7 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,760 Speaker 2: of the game. Seemed like they were controlling it. Even 8 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,119 Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy threw a pick six, but they still turned 9 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 2: it around and won. So obviously Caleb Williams lost last night. 10 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 2: What was your biggest takeaway from this game? 11 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: All right, I'm officially a little concerned about Caleb. I 12 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: was not at any point last year, but the sequence 13 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: of the last ninety six hours where I listen, I'm 14 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: a subscriber. I was already a subscriber to Tyler Dunn substack. 15 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: It's like fifty bucks for the whole year support real journalism. 16 00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 3: He is the guy. 17 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: If people are like, oh, let me it's go long TD. 18 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: Let me see if you go to golongtd dot com 19 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: if that takes you there, I actually don't know the 20 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: answer that no, so hold on, let me see what 21 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 1: the actual was. So oh no, it does Oh maybe, yeah, 22 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: golongtd dot com, but it's on substack. He is the 23 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 1: guy who broke the story a year ago, demons that 24 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott tried to rally the troops by being like 25 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: the nine to eleven hijackers thing. He has real sources, 26 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: he is a real journalist. He's totally independent, so I 27 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: was already a subscriber of his. He has released a 28 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: three part book on Caleb's first year with the Bears. 29 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: It Ain't Great and it is to me highly concerning. 30 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: It also discusses it's a The person who comes out 31 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: looking the worst is Ryan the GM. Caleb doesn't look 32 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: great though in it either, and it talks about a 33 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: shaky work ethic, not necessarily galvanizing leadership, and then a 34 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: shocking statement from some of his sources that there is 35 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: a belief within the front office that was kept from 36 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: the coaching staff that Caleb might have the learning disability dyslexia, 37 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: which there is obviously no shame in that at all. However, 38 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: one of the ways dyslexia can manifest itself, obviously is 39 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: you transpose words or letters, and that one of the 40 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: reasons they postulate he might have trouble translating the play 41 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: call from his headset to his wristband, getting it in, 42 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: getting plays in on time is a confusion. 43 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 3: About what he's reading. 44 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: And that is not something that is you know, you 45 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: can't overcome, but it is something that has to be 46 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: accounted for. And the reporting is that the front office 47 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: kept it from. 48 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 3: His coaches last year. 49 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: Now, obviously, Ben Johnson, one would think has all this information. 50 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: And if you watched last night, you saw most notably 51 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: that play on the sideline when Caleb spun out of trouble, 52 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: went to the sideline and then ripped an absolute laser 53 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: to I don't know if it was DJ Moore or Rome. 54 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: I'm not sure why the talent demands is undeniable and hypnotizing. 55 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: It just is like and you saw that obviously throughout 56 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: his remarkable collegiate career. 57 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 3: But his. 58 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: Right now deficit on the pre snap parts of being 59 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: an NFL quarterback to me, are going to slow his development. 60 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: And you saw that left and right last night that 61 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: getting plays in was still a problem. Motioning guys when 62 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: there's a few seconds on the shot on the shot clock, 63 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: on the game clock or play clock was still a problem. 64 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: Like some things that he really needs to be at 65 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: this point, in my opinion, better at those things have 66 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: become one game in have not improved, And. 67 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 2: You don't think his decision making it all improved a 68 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 2: little bit from last year. 69 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: So I do think his decision making improved. I'm talking 70 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: about the pre snap operation. I'm talking about getting the 71 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 1: team out of the huddle, conveying the play call in time, 72 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: doing the things necessary to prevent these five yard pre 73 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: snap penalties. 74 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 3: That was brutal. 75 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: The whole night just was. And while his decision making 76 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: I thought was better and he was quicker getting the 77 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: ball out, his accuracy was shaky. 78 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's putting a lot he missed, putting a lot 79 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 2: on them. 80 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: Putting a lot on the lot on the ball, and 81 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: also just missing. There were a couple spots he missed. 82 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 3: Guys wide open. And so. 83 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: If I am being. 84 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 3: Fair, which I have to be. 85 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: I I still believe in Caleb Williams. I am less 86 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 1: certain that super stardom is in his future. And I 87 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: think that is for me, as a guy who said 88 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: he would come into the league as a top ten quarterback, 89 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: tough pill to swallow, trust me. 90 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 2: But you don't think it might be a little a 91 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 2: little early with it being game one, Like if they 92 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 2: were to go and put it on the Lions, what 93 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 2: would that change stuff? 94 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 4: Immediately? 95 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm going to look back on this and say 96 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: I was, you know, ten hours after the game in 97 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 1: his reactionary. But I am like I am. I understand 98 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,239 Speaker 1: most of the audience has not read the Tyler Dunn story, 99 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: and again his substacks go long TV dot com. I 100 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: highly encourage people. It's worth the six bucks a month. 101 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: It's less than that four bucks a month. It's worth 102 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: it just to read this story. To be totally honest 103 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: with you, that story shook my faith in a real way. 104 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: And then this game. You of course, listen, he started 105 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: ten of ten. It started great, it ended so poorly. 106 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: And listen, he's not the only culprit in this, which 107 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: brings us to Ben Johnson, where there were I didn't 108 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: like Ben Johnson's decision early to not kick the field goal. 109 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: I just think you don't have the Lions team from 110 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: last year. You're also playing a team that is going 111 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: to be hard to accumulate points on as evidence by 112 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: the fact your offense, you know, struggled to score points 113 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: throughout the night. I know they finished with twenty four. 114 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: One touchdown came with two minutes left, and another one was. 115 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 3: A pick six. 116 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: But JJ at that, you know what I mean? There 117 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,679 Speaker 1: was reason to believe JJ would struggle early, and he did. 118 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: But the bigger problem is and evidently Peyton Manning peeped 119 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 1: this on the Manning cast, because of course he did. 120 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: I was surprised Joe and Troy didn't. But this is 121 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: going to This is a coaching note that is simply 122 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: it listen, nobody's in the Brian Callahan category. More on 123 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: him later, But this was a mistake by Ben. 124 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:54,959 Speaker 3: So here's situation. 125 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: He understood, we've got a score before the two minute one. 126 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: Caleb almost ran it in before the two minute warning 127 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: at two oh four, two oh five. They end up 128 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: ruling him, you know, out of bounds at the six 129 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: inch line. They then do a quick pass score. They 130 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: score it two oh two. They have one timeout. With 131 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 1: the two minute warning and one timeout. If you force 132 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: a three and out, you're gonna get the ball back 133 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: without a minute left, down three points and be alive. 134 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: Without the two minute warning and one timeout, you're gonna 135 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: get the ball back with about twenty seconds left and 136 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: be dead it's that simple. The two minute warning must 137 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: be retained in part because I think Ben challenged a 138 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: play because he didn't understand the rule. Now that's a 139 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: tricky rule because so let me back up to it. 140 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: The rule is if someone is knee is on the 141 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: ground and you touch them, they're down immediately. What Ben 142 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: saw or his guy in the booth saw, is, oh, 143 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: we didn't touch the player with who was down. We 144 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: punched the ball, and we punched the ball so cleanly. 145 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: It did not We never touched the player until the 146 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: ball was loose. So is that a fumble? And so 147 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: he challenged it and the answer is no, it's not 148 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: even just touching the ball. When a player is down 149 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: on the ground, he's down. So that's like a nuance 150 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 1: of the rule. Head coach needs to know that. So 151 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: like that was so that's why they only had one 152 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: time out instead of two. But now we get to 153 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: two h two left and Cairo Santos, who missed the 154 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: field goal earlier and is not known for the strongest 155 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: of legs, Demonse Ben Johnson tells him kick it out 156 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: of the back of the end zone to retain the 157 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: two minute warning. Kevin O'Connell tells his guy, if you 158 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 1: can return it, return it, don't worry about the yardage, 159 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: just return it to burn these two seconds sidebar. No 160 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: one's ever done this, but I would encourage it. The 161 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: actual sharpest play there for that returner, if he only 162 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: has to burn two seconds, is to catch it and 163 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: run sideways, staying in the end zone to burn as 164 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: much time as possible, and then just step out the 165 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: back of the end zone for a touchback or kneel 166 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: it for a touchback. Then you still get the thirty 167 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: five yard line. You don't risk a fumble, you burn 168 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: more time because the guys have to get to you. 169 00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: But again, that is PhD level coaching, of which you 170 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: know not everyone is here yet. That's fine, Kevin O'Connell 171 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: did a great job with it. But here is the 172 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: nuanced part that matters, in particular with the new touchback 173 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: rules Demonse. The new touchback rule is if you kneel 174 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 1: it in the end zone. If you kick it into 175 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: the end zone and they kneel it, they get it 176 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: on the thirty five. They did not change the fact 177 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: that if you kick it out of bounds, you get 178 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: it at the forty. So the oh if the single 179 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: most important thing to your team is that they not 180 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: be able to return this kick. And you don't have 181 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,079 Speaker 1: a cannon legged kicker who can kick it out in 182 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: the back of the end zone on command, Then you 183 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: don't ask him to kick it out the back of 184 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 1: the end zone, which he might not be able to do. 185 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,839 Speaker 1: You ask him fire that thing forty five degree angle 186 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: right out of bounce, which everyone can do. You give 187 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: up five yards who cares you guarantee? So instead of 188 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: the thirty five, it's the forty that doesn't matter. What 189 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: matters is now that next play happens at two two, 190 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: there's nothing they can do about it. That was a 191 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: mistake by Ben Johnson. I saw it in real time. 192 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning on the Manning cast evidently saw it in 193 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: real time and I and I thought that that was 194 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 1: a mistake. So listen, I thought, I don't think that 195 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: was like an awful first game by Ben Johnson. But 196 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: the bad challenge and the trusting that Cairo Santos can 197 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: just boom it out in the back of the end zone, 198 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: we're very costly mistakes. 199 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 4: So why are you giving him as in his first game. 200 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 1: Blew a big lead offense, didn't really get going after 201 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: the opening script those mistakes C plus C plus C plus, 202 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: giving him a C plus. All right, let's spend a 203 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: second on JJ. 204 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was about to say so after seeing that 205 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 2: performance by JJ, what do you expect from him moving forward? 206 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: Well, listen, I think that the comeback and his role 207 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: in it and the confidence he's going to get from it. 208 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: You know, if they if they didn't get that comeback 209 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: at the end and was just he threw a pick 210 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: six and they lose, I think the next few weeks 211 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: could be real rough. Instead, a guy whose rep coming 212 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: in was just a winner, makes big plays, galvanizing force 213 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: just adds to it in his first ever NFL game. 214 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: Pretty good Like that, Art is really good. So I 215 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: didn't think he was that impressive. I didn't think he 216 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: was that good, but he had the moments which I think, 217 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: are you know, super relevant and super you know, useful, 218 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: and so I want to give. 219 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 3: Him credit for that. 220 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: Am I am? I sold entirely that, like you know, 221 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: he's going to be a franchise quarterback. No, of course, 222 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: not yet after one game, but for what his rep 223 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: was demans, that was an awesome start. 224 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 3: That was yes, for sure. 225 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 2: Well, you're giving let's go ahead. Will Caleb be getting 226 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 2: similar treatment to the Prince? You know how Trevor had 227 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 2: bad coaching and then he had his coach and that 228 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 2: was officially his first year. 229 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 3: Well let's listen. 230 00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: I mean, if Trevor does what the Prince did, which 231 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: is have an awesome second year, make the playoffs, win 232 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: a playoff game, then yeah, we can just say if 233 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: Caleb does, sorry, if Caleb does what Trevor did, we 234 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: can just say, yeah, it was it was all on Eberflus. 235 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: And I think a lot of it was on bears 236 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: ysfunction in Eberflus. Again, I'm not saying like I'm out 237 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: on Caleb. I am saying that the stuff, some of 238 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: the stuff that I wanted him to be just a 239 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: little tighter on, I didn't see. 240 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 3: And that's just that, just is what it is. 241 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: Reminder about our friends, our new presenting sponsor, hard Rock Bet. 242 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: Everybody knows and loves the hard Rock hotels and casinos, 243 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: and now you can use the top rated hard Rock 244 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: Bet sportsbook to place your bets all NFL season and beyond. 245 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: Hard Rock Bet is the only legal sportsbook in the 246 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: state of Florida, the only one in Florida, and it's 247 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: also available in Arizona, Ohio, New Jersey, Indiana, Tennessee, Virginia, Illinois, 248 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: and Colorado, with more states launching all the time.

Obviously, Buffalo came back 270 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 2: against my Ravens. That fifteen point lead erased, harball has 271 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 2: now blown seventeen double digit second half leads. The bigger 272 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 2: story here is that the Bills win, or is it 273 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 2: the Ravens loss? 274 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 3: What do you think the bigger story is? 275 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 2: The bigger story here is, Oh my gosh, the Ravens 276 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 2: gotta stop shooting themselves in the foot. The penalties and 277 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 2: just the fun. The penalties are just so frustrating. The 278 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 2: penalties and just how we move when we need something. 279 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 2: The Bills have the momentum, they're coming back, and we're 280 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 2: running indo rounds. 281 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 4: With Zay Flowers just rather get a first down. 282 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you did you bring up that end 283 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 1: around with Jay Flowers the because I from what I 284 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 1: said on the show yesterday, or did that bother you 285 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: organic much? 286 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 3: Yeah? 287 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: That that play demonse is like lost in the conversation 288 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 1: surrounding the game that was insane, like you need one 289 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: first down to win the game. Derrick Henry is killing me. 290 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: I understand, Henry got stuffed on first down. You cannot 291 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: use one of your downs on save Flowers. 292 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 3: He just can't. 293 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: It's got to be lamar ball in his hands, you know, 294 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: if see someone open throws it or run or Derrick Henry. 295 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 3: So that I agree with entirely, and I also. 296 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 4: Agree with you. 297 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 1: The biggest stories the Ravens loss because the Bills listen. 298 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: Josh Allen is an unbelievable player, and since he stopped 299 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: turning the ball over, he stopped being roller coaster and 300 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: I stopped calling him one. Like I've been fair about Josh. 301 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: Josh always had this amazing talent. He was a little 302 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,679 Speaker 1: too high variants of a player early. He removes some 303 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 1: of that variants and now. 304 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 3: He's just a killer. 305 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: So the Bill's coming back is not that shocking. The 306 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 1: Bill's defense looking as bad as it did for the 307 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 1: vast majority of that game is actually a little concerning. 308 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: Like weirdly, if I were a Bills fan, Demons, I 309 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: would be over the moon thrilled about the win. And 310 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: you have the tiebreaker and you have the easier schedule. 311 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: You've never had the one seed since you've been since 312 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 1: you've had Josh Allen, you now have a real shot 313 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: at it this year. Like all of that is super positive, 314 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: but deep down I'd be like, yikes, that defense, Like 315 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: that's that's a bit of a concern. But the story 316 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: is Baltimore once again inventing a way to lose because 317 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: they this is what they do. And I know Harbaugh 318 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: Harball tried to make the point essentially that Harbaugh tried 319 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: to make the point that yeah, we've blown a lot 320 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: of big leads, but we have a lot of big leads, 321 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 1: Like how fair, you know what I mean, Like we 322 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: were in this position more than most. Mike Sando has 323 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 1: this these figures. I think it's good. Since the start 324 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty two season, there are seven teams 325 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: demons who have had multiple score fourth quarter leads at 326 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 1: least twenty times. Okay, so seven teams have had multiple 327 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: score fourth quarter leads at least twenty times, and Harbaugh 328 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: is right that the Ravens have the most most of them. 329 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: The Bengals and the Bills have twenty one, the Lions 330 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: have twenty two, the Chiefs have twenty four, the Niners 331 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 1: have twenty five, the Eagles have twenty eight, and the 332 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: Ravens have thirty one, So that is a lot. Here's 333 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: the problem, though, record in those games from best to worst, 334 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: the Chiefs are twenty four and oh, and honestly, I 335 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: just did a home mahmes thing. I don't need to 336 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: do it again. That's the least surprising stat in the 337 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: world because while it's been a while since the Chiefs 338 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: have been able to generate some big lead, the idea, 339 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: I can't even conceptualize what it would look like for 340 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: the Chiefs to blow a big lead. No, for you 341 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 1: know what I mean, for the Chiefs to be up 342 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: thirteen in the fourth and lose like with Patrick. It 343 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: just doesn't happen. Like they're not gonna make those mistakes. 344 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: And Andy obviously deserves credit for that too. But the 345 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 1: Chiefs are twenty four and oh. The next best is 346 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: the Eagles and one, then the Lions twenty one and one, 347 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: the Bengals twenty and one, the Niners twenty three and two, 348 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 1: and the second worst is the Bills at nineteen and two, 349 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: and then the Ravens at twenty five and six. So yes, 350 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: the Ravens have had more slightly more opportunities, but the 351 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: Chiefs have never lost in the last three years in 352 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: that spot. The Eagles, Lions, and Bengals have lost once, 353 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: the Niners and Bills have lost twice, and the Ravens 354 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:47,919 Speaker 1: have lost six times. That's not nothing. It's just not nothing. 355 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 3: And I don't. 356 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: I don't know that the Hardball Lamar combo is gonna 357 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: get over for the hump Man. 358 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 3: I just don't. 359 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: And it's Lamar's obviously, you know, just getting better as 360 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: a player, getting better in the playoffs. 361 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 3: Like I also. 362 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 1: Thought demands, how did you feel when you saw Hardball 363 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 1: was punting on fourth and two and a half. 364 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 2: I mean, it's easy to say, looking back at the game, like, 365 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 2: definitely got to go for that, but also we weren't 366 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 2: stopping them, so it probably does make more sense to 367 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 2: go for it in that situation because the Bills have 368 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 2: just been They've been doing everything they wanted, so it's 369 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 2: it's not fourth and five. 370 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 3: Well, and here's the other piece. 371 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 4: And I got Lamar and Derrick Henry, and I. 372 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: Know Lamar said he was cramping. But what you can 373 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 1: do there is because the Bills used a timeout, they 374 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: use the timeout. You get two minutes there to kind 375 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,199 Speaker 1: of recover. You then trot your offense out, try to 376 00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: draw him off sides forty seconds to recover. If you 377 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: don't call time out, another two minutes to recover, and 378 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: then you got to go for. 379 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 3: It because if you. 380 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: If you don't get it, you might get the ball back, 381 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. If you don't get it 382 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 1: and they score, you get the ball back. And if 383 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: you do get it, the game's over. And here's my 384 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: only criticism of Lamar from that game, My only criticism. 385 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 1: When he threw the pass on third and nine where 386 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 1: he did three yards short of this I assumed, I 387 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: think it was actually the Hopkins I. 388 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 4: Think and talked to Yeah it was. 389 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 3: Yeah. 390 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 1: I assumed he threw it there because he like obviously correct, 391 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 1: but he was comfortable throwing it short of the sticks 392 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: because it's four down territory, you know what I mean, Like, 393 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: that's what I assumed was the case. If you're not 394 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: if you don't know you're going for it, you can't 395 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,679 Speaker 1: and you can't throw short of the sticks there, like 396 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: you've got to try to go get the first down. 397 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 1: I also have a question for you to want and 398 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: if the answer is had nothing to do with the game, 399 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 1: that's fine. You sent out a tweet an hour into 400 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: the game that said that that had a superhero, a 401 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: bowl of ramen maybe, and then a trophy. Before you 402 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,919 Speaker 1: tell me what that is, I have a question. Is 403 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: that a bowl of ramen in the in the picture. 404 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 4: That's it's a ball? 405 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 3: It's like, was it specifically? Are you? Are you going 406 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 3: to tell us what that was? 407 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 4: I was about to eat. 408 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 3: I knew it. I was gonna guess. 409 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 4: Then we come out and be b fair. Yes, yeah, 410 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 4: everything to do with the game. 411 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 2: I was tweeting super Bowl Champs. I thought the Bravens 412 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 2: is gonna win the game. That's why I left it cryptic. 413 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: But super Bowl Champs it I had it totally wrong. 414 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 1: I thought I had it totally wrong, and I thought 415 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: our producers were gonna laugh. What people don't know about 416 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: you is, while you're not what I would call a chef, 417 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: you do consider yourself a bit of like an elite. Yes, 418 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: I had eggs and different rams, and I honestly thought 419 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: you were watching the game and made yourself like a 420 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: great Ramen meal watching it and were like calling yourself 421 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: like the King of making Ramen noodles. I swear to 422 00:27:54,840 --> 00:28:00,439 Speaker 1: God that's what I thought I did. Now now, super 423 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 1: Bowl champ. That's pretty good. All right, that's pretty good. Um, okay, 424 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 1: all right, do you have a you have a Derrick 425 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 1: Henry tweet for me or to not tweet a question? 426 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, um yeah, oh yeah. 427 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 2: So aside from the fumble, Henry looked good as ever. 428 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,199 Speaker 2: Obviously he had one hundred and sixty nine yards and 429 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 2: two touchdowns. Do you think that it's safe to say 430 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 2: that the cliff isn't coming this year because you said 431 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 2: he was getting a. 432 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: Sure sure doesn't seem like the cliffs coming. Holy moly, 433 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: that guy is unbelievable futures, unbelievable player. 434 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, alright, the. 435 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: And I have no problem with Lamar shoving the fan 436 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: me neither fan shoved him first. 437 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 3: I have no prom not. 438 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: Also, they didn't talk about on the broadcast, Bill's fans 439 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: stop throwing ship on the field. They were the They 440 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: were the originators of throwing sex toys on sporting event 441 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: fields before it caught off fire in the WNBA and 442 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: when Lamar when Derek Henry was running for his touchdown, 443 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: they threw a water bottle on the field. They they 444 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: famously threw snowballs at the Chiefs, like icy snow. Like 445 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: the stop throwing stuff on the field, Like I have 446 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 1: to listen every year to how Buffalo's got the greatest 447 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: fans in the world because it's cold there and they 448 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: shovel the stadium for him.

The Eagles obviously won, 466 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 2: but they probably did win in the fashion they would 467 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 2: have liked, and the Chiefs lost. 468 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 4: How close to the super Bowl? How close to the 469 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 4: super Bowl game do you think this will be? 470 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 3: Oh, I don't listen. 471 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: I do not think Kansas City is going to get 472 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: blown out. I will if Kansas City gets blown out, 473 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 1: I will be concerned. 474 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 3: Okay. 475 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: I also spoiler alert, don't think Kansas City is going 476 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: to lose. And I think that the Chiefs being home 477 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: dogs with Patrick being healthy is a slap in the face, 478 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: especially because I do think it's fair to say Philly 479 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 1: did not look overwhelming in Week one, you know what 480 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: I mean? Philly looked fine, but they looked kind of lucky, 481 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: not lucky, but fortunate to get out of that game 482 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: with a win against a Dallas team that there were 483 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: no expectations for. 484 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 3: Okay. 485 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: So I I also think that those of us that 486 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: have been hoping for or planning on, you know, the 487 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 1: Mahomes light show as Brew calls it, to come back, 488 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: going to have to wait some more time. Because obviously 489 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: They knew they weren't gonna have Hershie Rice in this game, 490 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: but now they also won't have Xavier Worthy in this game. 491 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 3: And so I think it's going to be a lot. 492 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: Of ball control, a lot of short intermediate stuff, and 493 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: a lot of you know, Mahomes makes some magic, but 494 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 1: I think you have a pissed off urgent Patrick Mahomes, 495 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 1: and I think he will deliver. I'm going to add 496 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: to it that where my where my concern comes in 497 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 1: this game is is Jalen Hurts going to have four 498 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: seconds to throw and that chief secondary not be able 499 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 1: to hang in there? 500 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 3: Now? 501 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: I know Jalen threw nothing but short except for the 502 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: one bomb and had nothing but time against Dallas, But 503 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: I also know that Justin Herbert had nothing but time 504 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: and carved up the chief secondary. The part of the 505 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 1: Week one game that was most dispiriting and most concerning 506 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 1: to me Demanse was how the overall pass defense for 507 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: Kansas City looks Now? Will Philadelphia take advantage of it? Okay, like, 508 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 1: will Philadelphia to lean into that part of their offense? 509 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 3: I don't know. 510 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 1: I mean, aj Brown went fifty eight minutes in Week 511 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 1: one without a target, and they they still moved the ball, 512 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 1: and Jalen was brilliant scrambling. But that's another piece of 513 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 1: this game that does concern me. Designed pass plays jail 514 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 1: and drops back, They wait, they wait, no one the 515 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: times the coverage holds up, no one's open. Jalen's able 516 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 1: to run. So I think Philly will be able to 517 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 1: move the ball if they lean into the passing game. 518 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs run defense has been one of 519 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 1: their underrated factors the last couple of years, and even 520 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 1: in that Super Bowl when the Chiefs got annihilated, the 521 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: run defense was obviously really impactful. I did a good job. 522 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: I shouldn't impact those the wrong word, did a good job, Saquon. 523 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:08,240 Speaker 1: The story of the Super Bowl was the disastrous offensive 524 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:12,400 Speaker 1: line play from Kansas City, And now I'm excited to 525 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 1: see it because the Chiefs upgraded at left tackle obviously, 526 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 1: and the Eagles don't have the edges they had last year. 527 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 1: Now they still do have Jalen Carter in this game. 528 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,919 Speaker 1: As we talked about, he is suspended for this game, 529 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: but he's playing in this game, and how will those 530 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:39,800 Speaker 1: matchups look. If Patrick has even a modicum of time, 531 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: I believe he will be able to make Hay against 532 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 1: this Eagle secondary that I believe is going to be 533 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: a work in progress throughout the year. Obviously, Degene is 534 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 1: very good and Quinyan Mitchell is excellent, and maybe I 535 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 1: should call Degene excellent and Quenya Mitchell very good. But 536 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 1: they're both at the very least very good. Play. But 537 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,319 Speaker 1: there isn't a single other person in that secondary that 538 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 1: you trust I as far as demands, you know, will 539 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 1: you panic? Should I panic if the Chiefs are zero 540 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 1: to two? I The answer to that is unequivocally known. 541 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: And here is the thing that it is frustrating is 542 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:32,360 Speaker 1: the wrong word, but annoying that folks don't see folks 543 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: speak with authority and don't have the memories I guess 544 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 1: that I do on what the Chiefs have actually been in, 545 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 1: you know, the Mahomes era. In twenty twenty one, the 546 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 1: Chiefs started three and four, three and four, coming off 547 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 1: getting blown out in the Super Bowl by Tampa. They 548 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 1: started the next year three and four and then found themselves, 549 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:08,319 Speaker 1: as they always do, at the absolute worst in overtime 550 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: of the AFC Championship Game in twenty twenty three. The 551 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:20,320 Speaker 1: Chiefs in November to December lost. They had a stretch 552 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:25,400 Speaker 1: where they lost one, two, yeah, five out of eight, 553 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 1: including within that stretch where they lost four out of 554 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,759 Speaker 1: six and in that where they lost three out of 555 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 1: four and the only win came against the woeful Patriots, 556 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 1: where they didn't even look that good, and they responded 557 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 1: to that by winning the Super Bowl, the idea that 558 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 1: they've never had that had just been see and even 559 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 1: last year, even though they never lost games, people hated 560 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 1: how they looked at various points in the regular season, 561 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 1: and they found themselves in the super Bowl again. So 562 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 1: it is just flatly inaccurate to say they haven't faced 563 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 1: any regular season adversity or downswings during this time. It's 564 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 1: just that the baseline is so high that they have 565 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 1: been able to obviously more than overcome it. But I 566 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 1: so I wouldn't panic. I will come on here, you know, Tuesday, 567 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 1: if not before. If they get manhandled by an Eagles 568 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,680 Speaker 1: team that I don't think as good as last year's 569 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 1: Eagles team, it is time for real concern, not panic, 570 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 1: but concern. If it's a really good game and they 571 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:44,719 Speaker 1: end up coming up on the short end of it, 572 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,319 Speaker 1: I won't panic at all. But I think Kansas City 573 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 1: is better than Philadelphia. And I also think this, and this. 574 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,279 Speaker 4: Is the like without the. 575 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:05,839 Speaker 1: Without without Rice and Worthy. Well, so here's the thing 576 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 1: on that. I think that when Rice and Worthy are back, 577 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,920 Speaker 1: Philadelphia will be better than they are right now, because 578 00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,879 Speaker 1: I think Philadelphia's defense has so many new pieces it's 579 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,360 Speaker 1: going to be, you know, a work in progress, so 580 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 1: to speak. I also like here is And again, people 581 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:32,319 Speaker 1: can disagree with me. People can say that I'm you know, uh, 582 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 1: waving pom poms, as Bruce says sometimes, and the you 583 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 1: know with the pomp poms when I wave them, all 584 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 1: I see is you've. 585 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 3: Been right every year. 586 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 1: But I firmly believe that given how Philadelphia played in 587 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:55,359 Speaker 1: Week one, that had they been playing the Chargers, they 588 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,279 Speaker 1: lose similar fashion the Chiefs do. And given how the 589 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: Chiefs played Week one, had they been playing the Cowboys 590 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,840 Speaker 1: and that defense, there's no concerns about the Chiefs offense 591 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,320 Speaker 1: right now. Like I don't think Philly or Kansas City 592 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,879 Speaker 1: should be happy at all about how Week one went. Now, 593 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,400 Speaker 1: I know Philadelphia is one to zero and Kansas City's 594 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 1: zero and one, but it feels to me like both 595 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 1: of those teams had to be pretty uneasy about their performances. 596 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 1: The only thing Philadelphia I thought did really well in 597 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:33,280 Speaker 1: week one was Jailen. I thought jaialen scrambles were just elite, 598 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,840 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Jalen's ability to make something 599 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 1: out of nothing was phenomenal. And the only thing the 600 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,799 Speaker 1: Chiefs did really well in week one was the Mahomes 601 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:48,960 Speaker 1: kind of magic, broken play craziness. Like, nobody on the 602 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 1: Chiefs or the Eagles outside of their quarterback should feel 603 00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 1: great about Week one, and so we'll see how they 604 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:59,920 Speaker 1: both respond. But to your point, demon's about without Rice 605 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 1: and Worthy for Kansas City. If if Kansas City wins 606 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:12,720 Speaker 1: the game without Rice and Worthy, that is a shot 607 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:17,440 Speaker 1: in the arm for Eagles. Well, I listen, I think 608 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,400 Speaker 1: Philadelphia's got the infrastructure and the too much talent. I 609 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 1: don't think like there's not a lot of panic that 610 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:27,600 Speaker 1: should happen in week you know, in week two if like. 611 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,399 Speaker 2: If your top competition and they don't have like two 612 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:32,600 Speaker 2: of their best offensive guys. 613 00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 1: So here's the thing, though, I don't this is for 614 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:44,240 Speaker 1: Philadelphia or Kansas City. I simply don't believe in cross 615 00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 1: conference rivalries in the NFL, and I don't believe in 616 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:54,480 Speaker 1: your top competition ever being someone in the other conference, 617 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:59,400 Speaker 1: like because it has to be such a perfect storm 618 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 1: for you guys to play in a game that matters. 619 00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:06,880 Speaker 1: Like let's just say for the record, or for example, 620 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:10,400 Speaker 1: I should say that Philly does blow out Kansas City, 621 00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,759 Speaker 1: just annihilates them. It looks just like the Super Bowl. 622 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:20,840 Speaker 1: While that would reasonably shake anyone's faith that the Chiefs 623 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:25,760 Speaker 1: can beat the Eagles, it to me should barely shake 624 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 1: your faith that can the Chiefs win the Super Bowl 625 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 1: because like the Eagles would have to get there, as 626 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 1: the Chiefs would have to get there obviously, but the 627 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,239 Speaker 1: Eagles w have to get there, you know. So the 628 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 1: in a weird way like that Charger game and how 629 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:46,200 Speaker 1: the Chargers exploited what were Chiefs weaknesses was a bigger 630 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,960 Speaker 1: concern than anything that could happen Sunday, because the Chargers 631 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,399 Speaker 1: are direct competition. You play them again, You could play 632 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,719 Speaker 1: them in you know, in the first round of the playoffs, 633 00:41:55,760 --> 00:42:02,360 Speaker 1: like Philadelphia maybe you know has Kansas City's number, but 634 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,239 Speaker 1: the Packers clip. I mean, it doesn't even matter. And 635 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 1: so that the it is very rare that a cross 636 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:15,520 Speaker 1: conference rivalry be the rivalry it has to be almost 637 00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:22,280 Speaker 1: NBA Lebron Cavs STEPH Warriors style, where it's like these 638 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:27,359 Speaker 1: two teams are just dominating. It's inevitable right that where 639 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 1: we're going to end up. And that's just not to 640 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 1: me realistic here. I know you wanted to ask me 641 00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:36,640 Speaker 1: about how I'm watching the game. 642 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:38,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, what is what's going to be your plan for 643 00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,640 Speaker 4: the game? The setup? Are we kicking people out of there? 644 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:43,439 Speaker 3: I think I'm going to be back home. 645 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,880 Speaker 1: I might stay in Kansas City for the game, but 646 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:52,319 Speaker 1: I think I'm going to be back home there. There 647 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,560 Speaker 1: is a chance I stick around and watch the game 648 00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,960 Speaker 1: in person, but I don't think that's what I'm going 649 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:03,000 Speaker 1: to do. So I don't have I guess a good answer. 650 00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:04,319 Speaker 4: There, go ahead, it'd be high stressed for you. 651 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,680 Speaker 1: Well, it'd be a home game, Like I certainly would 652 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,319 Speaker 1: never watch this a game like this on the road. Right, 653 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:17,480 Speaker 1: and again, if people don't know the reason we're recording 654 00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,480 Speaker 1: this Wednesday, the reason all being Kansas City is we 655 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,680 Speaker 1: are doing the show live, the TV show live from 656 00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:28,040 Speaker 1: Power and Light two o'clock Central time on Friday, and 657 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:31,719 Speaker 1: I would love any and everyone in Kansas City to 658 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:36,399 Speaker 1: stop by and again, anyone that shows up with a 659 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 1: first thing's first related sign all buy you a beer. 660 00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,479 Speaker 1: And so the logistics or legality of that, I don't 661 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,239 Speaker 1: really know. But I'm just going to come there with 662 00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,880 Speaker 1: a pocket full of twenties and hand them out to 663 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:51,800 Speaker 1: people who have first Things first signs. 664 00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,920 Speaker 3: So that's the plan. It'll be great. 665 00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,840 Speaker 1: There is a level, it would seem like, of trepidation 666 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,520 Speaker 1: from some other folks of how big the crowd's going 667 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:03,960 Speaker 1: to be. I think the crowd is going to be 668 00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:04,399 Speaker 1: pretty big.
