1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? John Middlecoff three

2
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: and Out podcast, brought to you by my friends at

3
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: Zone Pouches. How is everybody doing? Probably not as well

4
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: as Brock Purty, who led the forty nine Ers to

5
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: five touchdowns and a blowout would be strong, but a

6
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: commanding victory over the I almost just said the San

7
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: Diego Chargers, the Indianapolis Colts forty eight to twenty seven.

8
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: The Niners are eleven and four, and the Colts, I

9
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: would say, are unofficially done for the season, especially with

10
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: that defense. Good luck against the Jags, but we'll dive

11
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: into that game off the top. Obviously, Christian McCaffrey dominated,

12
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: George Kittle Doom dominated but got injured. Philip Rivers, I

13
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: think we gotta give him his flowers. I thought he

14
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: was really good. It definitely was not his fault that

15
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: they lost by a couple of touchdowns. That's for damn sure.

16
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: I mean, the Colts defense was just atrocious. DK metcalf

17
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: has been suspended for the next two games without pay.

18
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: Also brings in the light that the Steelers could like

19
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: void a bunch of money in his contract, essentially get

20
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: out at the end of the year, and Bill Belichick

21
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 1: has hired Bobby Petrino. Think Arkansas, Think Harley Davidson, think

22
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: a ditch, and think another dude's wife that Bobby Petrino.

23
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: So we will dive into that as well as along

24
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: mailbag at John Middlecoff is the Instagram fire in those dms.

29
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: Appreciate everyone that does YouTube as well. We go live

30
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: after all the games, probably not this Christmas. I think

31
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: I've gone like five straight Christmases, but they've usually been

32
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: good games. This Christmas is just terrible. So unless there's

33
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: like a catastrophic injury to like I don't even want

34
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: to say the name, but like a player that's going

35
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: to impact the playoffs, which would probably just be the Broncos,

36
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: we'll have a podcast tomorrow and then we're probably off

37
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,119
Speaker 1: till Saturday night when there's a couple NFL games. So

38
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: other than that, let's dive into some football. To me,

39
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: the headline of the night was obviously the offense, but

40
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 1: specifically the quarterback. And there is never going to be

41
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: a conversation with Brock Purdy where he just becomes Everyone

42
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: universally agrees he's going to be a polarizing quarterback, whether

43
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: he one day wins a Super Bowl, when he has

44
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: games where he throws a couple interceptions, when he has

45
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: games when he throws a bunch of touchdowns. But he

46
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: became the first forty nine er tonight to throw five

47
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: touchdowns in a game since Steve Young did it back

48
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety five against the San Diego Chargers, where

49
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: I think Jerry had three, Ricky Waters had three. I

50
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 1: just think this. I was born in nineteen eighty four.

51
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: My dad was a die hard forty nine er fan.

52
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: I don't remember Joe Montana in his prime, but I

53
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: love football. I've seen enough highlights and YouTube clips. You know.

54
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: I grew up on Steve Young, who looked a lot

55
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: different than perty given that he was a left handed quarterback.

56
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: But that's had to like tonight. I'm not talking about

57
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: his career. I'm talking about tonight. What peak Joe Montana

58
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: looked like. I mean, that was that was a marvelous performance.

59
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: There was nothing he wasn't doing I mean, he was

60
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: in complete control of the football game. And here's the

61
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: thing in years past, the one kind of I don't

62
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: It wasn't a knock for me because most good players

63
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,119
Speaker 1: play with other good players. Last time, I Jeck Peyton

64
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: Manning was throwing to Marvin Harrison. Pretty sure Marvin Harrison's

65
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame. You know, Tom was throwing

66
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: to Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman who was a Super

67
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: Bowl MVP, and Randy Moss and Wes Welker, Joe wont

68
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: Hannah throw it to Jerry Rice. I don't know, just

69
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: the greatest wide receiver of all time. Usually play with

70
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: good players. But everyone's like, oh, he's playing with Debo,

71
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: He's playing with Brandon Ayuk. It's like, doesn't get any easier.

72
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: Well tonight I looked at It's like DeMarcus Robinson. It's

73
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: Kendrick Bourne, who didn't even have a home when the

74
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: season started. Is Juwan Jennings, which most of his careers

75
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,799
Speaker 1: is considered like a third wide receiver. Now, George Kittle,

76
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: and we'll dive into him in a second, is a

77
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame level guy. But the other wide receivers

78
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: are you know again, a lot of Kendrick Bourne, a

79
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: lot of DeMarcus Robinson. This guy named Sky Moore and

80
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: Brock was brilliant and they're gonna need him to be

81
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: because you know, defense is going to be a challenge

82
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: with Fred Warner and Nick Bosa at home, you know,

83
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: in a Lake cast and a Nie Leef. So he

84
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: has now ideally you don't have to do that, throw

85
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: five touchdowns, but that's as good of a game, you know,

86
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,239
Speaker 1: trying to remember as he's ever played. I mean, seriously,

87
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: now I understand because you're be like, well, who's he playing? Yeah,

88
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: he wasn't playing the eighty five Beers. Sauce Gardner's on

89
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: the sideline. Tarvarius Ward, his former teammate, is on the sideline.

90
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: But he made them look like a JV team, and

91
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: you would think a team that's still fighting for their

92
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: playoff lives. It was stealing candy from a baby. And

93
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: some of the passes guys were wide open and some

94
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: of them, I mean, there was a drive where he

95
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: threw two touchdowns on the same drive. The touchdown he

96
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: threw in the back of the end zone, end zone

97
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: to Tanjas where he did get both feet in. Kyle

98
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: Shanahan has a lot of strengths. I mean, he is

99
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: a brilliant offensive play caller. He's been a fantastic head coach.

100
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: He's resurrected the forty nine ers, He's done an excellent job.

101
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 1: He could drive some of us nuts at times, but

102
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: overall he is a fantastic coach. He is horrendous with challenges.

103
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I haven't watched every single coach challenge every

104
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: single play of their career, but and I'm not even

105
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: basing it on the numbers, he just has NOE. Whatever

106
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: their communication the guy upstairs, I mean the challenge he made,

107
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: I think the Pittman's drop, which was a clear catch,

108
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: and then he doesn't challenge the touchdown, which even Troy's like,

109
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: that's that's in Now again, we're sitting on our couch.

110
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: But they should have a guy who essentially is doing

111
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: what we're doing, sitting on a couch up in the

112
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: booth and be like, Kyle challenge that, or Kyle don't

113
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: challenge that. Whoever that guy is, Kyle needs a fire

114
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: him because that guy is doing a terrible job and

115
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: it costs perty. I mean, one of the great plays

116
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: of his career, rolling to his right, hitting the guy,

117
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: you know, rolling out, especially Jake TONGJS that's gonna be

118
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: the greatest catch he's ever had. Doesn't even count. But

119
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: you know, Kittle was dominant tonight. Christian McCaffrey was dominant

120
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: tonight catching the ball, and that saves the forty nine

121
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: ers offense because he turns into a wide receiver out

122
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: of the backfield. Unless you have you know, Ray Lewis

123
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,679
Speaker 1: or Patrick Willis in their prime, you're just not gonna

124
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: cover him. And he's so good. His rapport with Brock

125
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: is excellent. But what a performance. And you know you

126
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: paid a lot of money for this guy. He'd been

127
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: He got the turf toe situation the last couple of weeks,

128
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: and I get it was the Tennessee Titans, but to

129
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: go from Tennessee and to roll it right into this

130
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: game on Monday night football on the road with you know, technically,

131
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: once you're in the playoffs, none of these games or

132
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: technically must win anymore, though, which I still think is

133
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: an uphill battle. They do control their own destiny. If

134
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: they win these next two games, they are the number

135
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: one overall seed, which would honestly be the craziest football

136
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: thing I've ever seen in my life if they were

137
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: able to accomplish it. Now, I think before we dive

138
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: into some else from this game, they're getting royally fucked

139
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,239
Speaker 1: this week. I mean, they played and listen, I understand

140
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: they had the last bye week of the season for

141
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: any NFL teams. They had the latest bye week possible,

142
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: but the NFL put them on Monday Night football, which

143
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: Indianapolis is in the Eastern time zone. I'm pretty sure

144
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: it's give or take a four hour flight from where

145
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: they fly from San Jose, so by the time that

146
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: they get home to night, I don't know, it would

147
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: be three four in the morning. It's going to be Tuesday.

148
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: The Chicago Bears played on Saturday, so they get it's

149
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: sometimes Thursday night football during the season that happens, but

150
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: to happen on Christmas week a time advantage is pretty nuts.

151
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: Like it is, it is what it is, but it

152
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: is a massive rest prep just freshness advantage for the Bears. Also,

153
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: on Saturday, they played at home, so that there was

154
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: no travel. I mean, the forty nine er coaches, they're

155
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: gonna land, They're just gonna have to go to work now,

156
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: I would imagine they were able to do some prep

157
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: work today. But you can't go all in because eventually

158
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 1: you kind of got a lock back in on this game,

159
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: and you can't be thinking about the Bears when you

160
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: want to be fresh about the Colts, and you know,

161
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: get your thoughts all convoluted not even knowing what's going on.

162
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: So there's a very I've talked to coaches about this.

163
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: There's kind of a fine balance when you're in that situation.

164
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: But you got no choice, especially what's you know on

165
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 1: the line moving forward that you could potentially get another

166
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: buy right already beat Seattle. You know them pretty well,

167
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: you know Sam Darnold pretty well. I'm not saying it's

168
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 1: gonna be easy, but this Bears is an uncommon opponent.

169
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: It is a massive advantage for Ben Johnson his coaching staff.

170
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: I mean, everyone in the forty nine ers probably gonna

171
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: have to pop like seventy five milligrams atter all tomorrow

172
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: to even function because I mean, how much you actually

173
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: sleep on the plane. You're adrenaline after a game. You

174
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: probably fall asleep the last couple hours once you touch down.

175
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: Even for the players, I mean they'll probably treat this

176
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: week from a practice standpoint, much more like a Thursday

177
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,719
Speaker 1: night week and Chris McCaffrey's gonna need it. I mean,

178
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: there were so many times a night you know, Perty's

179
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: probably be pretty fresh. And he looks and again I

180
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: was dubious just because of the extent and the way

181
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: people talk about these injuries, how they just don't go away.

182
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: I would say whatever him and Joe Burrow did in

183
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: terms of the rest, the relaxation, avoiding surgery, Burrow just

184
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 1: looked really good. I get it was the Dolphins, but

185
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: you know, Purty looked like I said, best game of

186
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: his career, and McCaffrey looks like he's really coming on.

187
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: But again he takes a pounding and Aikman mentioned it

188
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: tonight and forty nine er fans have been saying this forever.

189
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: It's like, listen, Kyle, we understand this guy's a Hall

190
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: of Fame level player, but he plays a position that

191
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: is so physically taxing, and he's a guy that's had injuries.

192
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: You gotta be careful about just leaving him in there.

193
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: There was a point in time in the game they're

194
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: up two touchdowns. He's getting carries my eight month pregnant

195
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: wife looks at me. She's like, why is he still

196
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: in the game. I'm like, well, Kyle, just Brian Robinson's

197
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: got a beg to get a touch and they mentioned

198
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: it tonight. Jonathan Taylor leads the league in getting eighty

199
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: three percent of the snaps for running back. Number two

200
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: is Christian McCaffrey in eighty two percent. Now I'm not

201
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: saying it should be fifty to fifty, but god, I mean,

202
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: there are times when it's like, Okay, we're up two touchdowns,

203
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: we'll get the ball back. He's not coming back in

204
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: the game. He's not gonna take some meaningless hit. When

205
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 1: halfway through most games he comes to the sideline, you

206
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: can tell he's just he's just getting obliterated, you know.

207
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: And it's not like they're running these tosses on every

208
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: play where he's getting out of bounce. I mean, he's

209
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: going between the ten as NonStop. And you know, when

210
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: it works, when it is effective, when Kyle Shanahan's offense

211
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: can dominate the line of scrimmage, which did tonight. You know,

212
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey had twenty one for one point seventeen. They

213
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: ran thirty one carries for one hundred and forty five

214
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: yards and almost you know, average four point eight yards

215
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: of carry. You you're not going to stop their offense

216
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: because their passing game is predicated on the run game.

217
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: This is not Sean McVay, this is not Andy Reid,

218
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: this is not Kevin O'Connell that has wet dreams about

219
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: throwing it fifty times a game. And I got no

220
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: issue with that. Listen. I like passing the ball as

221
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: much as the next guy, but Kyle wants to dominate

222
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 1: on the ground to then pass and his passing game.

223
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: Jay Gruden came on the show I think I don't

224
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: know within the last year and said, you know, the

225
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: forty nine ers like studying the Shanahan family over the years,

226
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: but specifically Kyle, like his drop back passing game is

227
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: not what people go to study. It's the run game

228
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 1: to the play action. And then because of Perty's athleticism,

229
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: like he can really really add lib And there were

230
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: a couple times a night even Troy said when he's

231
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: scrambling to his right, he's got a little gun slinger

232
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: in him, like he kind of as tempted to throw

233
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: back across his body over the middle of the field,

234
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: especially in the red zone, and I think like Kyle's

235
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: in the back of his head making sure that he

236
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: doesn't do it, because he just threw it away tonight.

237
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: You can't throw any interceptions on a game when your

238
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,719
Speaker 1: defense is just given up first down after first down

239
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: to Philip Rivers. But when you're they're gonna run it

240
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: like this, they're gonna be really, really tough to beat.

241
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: And you know McCaffrey, Brian Robinson, but really it's just

242
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: McCaffrey when he's gonna play like that, and then when

243
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: he gives you out of the back or the in

244
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: the receiving game, he's just an unstoppable force. And George Kittle,

245
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: who got hurt, I think early in the fourth quarter.

246
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: It might have been late in the third quarter. I

247
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: really believe this. He is Hopefully he's fine. I know

248
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: he rolled his ankle. I'm doing this right after so

249
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: I don't get to hear the press conference or anything.

250
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: But it's not like he had to go to the

251
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: blue tent or went to the to the locker room.

252
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: I think they the forty nine ers are very cautious

253
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: when they play an artificial turf because over the court,

254
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: I mean, they've had a million injuries. On they'd have injuries.

255
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: You know, sleep on a sleep number bed, you know,

256
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: so it doesn't matter where they are. A forty nine

257
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: er player can get hurt doing anything at any moment, anytime.

258
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: But on turf, they've had devastating injuries, and I think

259
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: they're very, very reluctant in situations. It was still, you know,

260
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: the game was in the balance, but he never went

261
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: back in the game. And I just think that when

262
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: he's been healthy this season and he the first game started,

263
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: he dominated, and he pulled his hamstring and he came

264
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: back within a couple of games. Up until now, he's

265
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: as dominant as any player in the league. When you

266
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: factor in how good he is as a run blocker,

267
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: I mean he's he's kicking out defensive ends, he is

268
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: leveling linebackers, and in the passing game he feels as fast.

269
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: And he had the one. I don't even want to

270
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: call it a drop. It would have been a tough

271
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: play for like, you know, he moss in the corner

272
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: of the end zone, but it's a play I bet

273
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: he would say, you know, I should make. And other

274
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: than that, I mean high pointing balls, catching balls on

275
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: the run, running over guys. He's a really special player.

276
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: And when I think of, you know, the best forty

277
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: nine er players of all time, at least you know

278
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: since of the Eddie de Bartelo, Bill Walsh, Era on

279
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: are clearly Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Ronnie Lott, and Steve Young.

280
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: And then there's a group of a bunch of other guys,

281
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: right you know, Joe Staley, Frank Gore, Patrick, Willis, Navarro,

282
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: Bowman would have been that he got injured, I would

283
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: say Trent Williams clearly the moment he got there. He's

284
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: gonna go down as a Hall of Famer and has

285
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: been a dominant, dominant player. But for forty nine ers,

286
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: I think George Kittle's right there on that list. He

287
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: is he might be the defining player because he's been

288
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: here the entire time. For Kyle him or Fred Fred too.

289
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: I forgot about him because he's injured, But like he

290
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: is just such a he's just such a unique player.

291
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: You just don't see that often. Like you could tell

292
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: after the game he went up to Warren. I'm sure

293
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: we talked to him at tight End University. You know, listen,

294
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: Warren tries as a blocker. He's not bad, but he's

295
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: if he's gonna have a great career, he's gonna be

296
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: dominant catching the football because of his height, because of

297
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: his ball skills. I mean, he's a really really talented player.

298
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: I just there aren't as many guys anymore, and there

299
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: used to be more in the NFL because it used

300
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: to be more of a run heavy league. So many

301
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: teams in college ran quote unquote pro style offenses. It's

302
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: why Iowa produces so many physical tight ends because you

303
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: gotta put your hand in the dirt and you got

304
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: to block if you're gonna get on the field. You

305
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: can't just be And there's nothing wrong with it the

306
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: way the game is played now. But a lot of

307
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: these guys are essentially slot receivers, and you could argue

308
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: they're unstoppable slot receivers because they're six three to six five,

309
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: they all run four fives, and they have ball skills

310
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: like a wide receiver. Who's the forty nine ers have

311
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: a really good young slot corner uped In Stout. I

312
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: think he weighs like one hundred and sixty pounds, you know,

313
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: So what's you can't put upon Stout? On Tyler Warrant

314
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: it's not even the math doesn't math. It's like you

315
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: know in basketball, when when all of a sudden you

316
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: look in Chris Paul's garden, Kevin Garnett or Anthony Davis,

317
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: it's like, well, this is not gonna work. And I

318
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: think George is so special that way, just because he

319
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: does it all and it's a breed a player that

320
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: just doesn't really do that anymore. You know, you look

321
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: at the Bears drafting Lovelin again, freak talent, elite ball skills,

322
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: excellent athlete like he's never he wouldn't have a chance

323
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: on God's green Earth to even hold Miles Garrett for now,

324
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: you know, a millisecond. It just wouldn't even be possible,

325
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: you know. And that's where George really separates himself. So

326
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: I just think the forty nine ers are very, very

327
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: dependent on him being healthy with this team because they're

328
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: an offensive team. I mean, we'll get into Philip Rivers

329
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: here in a second, but there it's just I think

330
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: the sad part is is if Fred and Nick would

331
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: not have had season ending injuries and been on this

332
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: team the entire time, I think they would have been

333
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl favorites in the NFC. Now, they still

334
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: would have had some flaws on defense, but I think

335
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: those guys would have made up for so much. You

336
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: could argue if just Fred was on this team, I

337
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 1: would be like, yeah, they can win the NFC. But

338
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: it is really difficult when it's just backups everywhere in

339
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: a pass rush that really struggles to get home against

340
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: a team tonight that was running out a bunch of

341
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: backup offensive linemen. They play really hard and Saul has

342
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: done an excellent job, but there is just no replacing

343
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: those two players, and specifically Fred, because you know, I

344
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: think it's sad because this offense, the way they're playing

345
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: right now, especially assuming Ricky Piersoll will come back, I

346
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: do think is as good as any in the NFC.

347
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: Ate a little too many shake shack fries here tonight,

348
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: but just a fantastic win for the forty nine ers,

349
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: a fantastic season, and it is absolutely insane. Honestly, it's

350
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: it's a testament to both these teams. The Bears a

351
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: little different, but like if I would have told you

352
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: two months ago that going to this game that both

353
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: these teams, especially after the Niners lost Fred and Nick Bosa,

354
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: that they would already clinched, and both these teams would

355
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: have a chance to potentially be the number one overall seed.

356
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: You would have been like, are you on crack cocaine?

357
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? So Sunday Night Football Bears

358
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers just a fantastic matchup. Now, Like I said,

359
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 1: the rest advantage is huge. I do think that the

360
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers is not really gonna be able to

361
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: practice much this week. You know. Gonna be big for

362
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: them is do just Pierce All come back and even

363
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 1: makes their offense more explosive? What is George status? And

364
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: the other thing with the forty nine ers, they're unlike

365
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: any other team. You just come out of a game

366
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, it's like, ah, so pulled hammy,

367
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: so and so is just he's gonna be day to

368
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: day or week to week. You're like, what, he just

369
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: played sixty steps, he just made the d winners. You

370
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: know this had a great interception against Philip Rivers. So yeah,

371
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: tweaked his hamstring what I don't know, maybe walking back

372
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 1: to the locker room. It happens all the time. So

373
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: you just because you cut him out of a game.

374
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 1: On the forty nine Ers, excelling playing making plays does

375
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: not mean that you will be on the practice field

376
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: in two days for them on a Wednesday. Don't ever

377
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: that no team can all of a sudden add guys

378
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: to an injury report. I mean they add guys to

379
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: the injury report during the weeks of practice. So you

380
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: just got to keep your fingers crossed if you're them,

381
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: because they don't have many guys to lose. And the

382
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 1: d Winners interception was a pretty cool moment. For a

383
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: split second, watching that fifty three run, it reminded me

384
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 1: of Navarral Bowman, which made me a little nostalgic, because God,

385
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: I love Navarral Bowman. He's actually coaching with with Jim

386
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: Harbaugh down with the Chargers. I think he's like assistant

387
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: lineback coach. So that's cool but fantastic. Win Want to

408
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: New Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, the Indianapolis Colts. I mean

409
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: it's really a tale of the two sides of the ball.

410
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: I think what Philip Rivers of the Night was was exceptional.

411
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 1: I mean, I was blown away. I thought he was.

412
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 1: If you said, John, what grade would you give him?

413
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: Like A maybe just because the pick six a minus.

414
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: But at that point in time, you're down a couple

415
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: of scores, you kind of have to force it. It's

416
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: why he's throwing a lot of interceptions over the course

417
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: of his career with the Chargers. But twenty three to

418
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: thirty five or two hundred and seventy seven yards, I

419
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: mean the first couple of drives of the game is

420
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: first drive of the game. He threw for seventy yards.

421
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,719
Speaker 1: And I said this all week, and I get it.

422
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: Like the Colts have really good wide receivers, right Pierce

423
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 1: the stud downs is good. I've liked Pittman since he

424
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: was a college at USC. You know, Warren is probably

425
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: one of the best young, you know, skill guys tight

426
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: end wide receivers in the NFL. Obviously Jonathan Taylor. They

427
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: showed the statistics during the game. Running the ball has

428
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: been a challenge since their quarterback position is kind of

429
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: fallen apart. But he still had what he had three

430
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: cats for thirty three yards. Like he's such an all

431
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 1: around player. I just don't think you can ask much more.

432
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: And I get the forty nine ers defense isn't great,

433
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: but the understanding of the offense. The audio they had

434
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: in the Monday night football game with I don't know

435
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 1: if the MIC's close. Maybe it has to do with

436
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: the dome setting in Indianapolis. How clear you could hear

437
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: him audibling at the line, which I would imagine They're

438
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 1: gonna have to check all their calls next week for

439
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: the Jags, because you can't tell me that the Jags

440
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: defensive coaches. Every time the TV copy, you're gonna go

441
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: through that, rite down what he said and then match

442
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: it up with the play, So they're gonna have to

443
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: change the calls. But his control, understanding of the offense,

444
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: the one play at the end of the first half

445
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: that he that he misses the Warren because he kinda

446
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: he doesn't step up. I thought he was brilliant tonight.

447
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 1: I mean, when you factor in that he's forty four,

448
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: forty five years old, he hasn't played in five years.

449
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel at minimum he's better than I'm

450
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: not talking about the injured guys. I'm talking about the

451
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 1: starters at the beginning, like he's Tua makes fifty million dollars.

452
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers in a different universe than Tua as a

453
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: player isn't even close. I mean that's I'm dead serious,

454
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: and I'm not picking on Tua here, but I'm just

455
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: thinking of quarterbacks throughout the NFL that it's like he's

456
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: better than that guy. Like he's just a better player

457
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: than starters in the NFL at forty four, forty five

458
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: years old. And the other thing that brings me joy

459
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 1: is I just imagine Brady and Peyton with kind of

460
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 1: a huge smile slash jealousy watching him play, like I

461
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: want to do that, Like could I still do that?

462
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't even imagine how many quarterbacks around

463
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: the NFL that are I would say, forty early forties

464
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: to fifty years old, that maybe go out in the

465
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: backyard during Christmas and throw a little with their son

466
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: and go I think I could still do it. I

467
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 1: think I could still you know, warm this thing up.

468
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: I think I still got a few more bullets in

469
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: the gun. Because he can't move and even the night

470
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 1: he threw the one completion when he scrambled to his left,

471
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: but his anticipation and part of it is unique situation

472
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: that he's been calling this offense so as the play

473
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: caller of the offense, which he's already been in before

474
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: as a player, his understanding of the routes are just

475
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: no different than it would have been if he'd been

476
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: playing in it his whole time. But it's another thing

477
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: to just go out there. Even my wife looks at me,

478
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: She's like, has he been like training for this? I'm like,

479
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: how could he? He's been coaching high school like. I'm

480
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: sure he's going on the elliptical. I'm sure he's getting

481
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: some pumps in throughout the week and probably throwing a

482
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: practice a little bit. But is he putting in the

483
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: work that he would have done seven eight years ago

484
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: preparing for training camp? That there's zero chance, I mean none.

485
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: And obviously he's put on a little weight. Maybe you

486
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 1: could argue his arms a little fresher because of that.

487
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: I truly thought that that's these two weeks. But specifically

488
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: a night on Monday night football with his family, there

489
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 1: was that visual after the game of John Lynch, and

490
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 1: they showed that video that Lynch, who I guess knocked

491
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: Drew Brees and hurt his shoulder back in two thousand

492
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: and five, which was the reason that Philip Rivers came

493
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: in and obviously never relinquished that spot until he went

494
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: to the Colts in twenty twenty. So think about John

495
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: Lynch knocked out Drew Brees in that game playing for Denver,

496
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: who Mike Shanahan was his coach. Philip Rivers comes into

497
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: that game. Drew Brees' career with the Chargers ends, obviously

498
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: the domino effect of him getting denied in Miami by

499
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: Danny Kanell's dad who says his shoulders fucked up. Nick

500
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: Saban doesn't sign him. He goes to the Saints with

501
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: Sean Payton. I mean, some crazy butterfly effects there. But

502
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 1: you could tell John Lynch standing there, who is just

503
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: I mean talk about a guy that just loves football,

504
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 1: like loves the grit and the mud of it, like

505
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: the just the shit that most people just want to

506
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: play the games. John Lynch likes all the other stuff.

507
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: And you could tell the reverence and just the admiration

508
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: he had for the competitor in this old grizzled gunslinger

509
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 1: that just comes out of nowhere, gets his family five

510
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: more years of health insurance on the NFL's dime, and

511
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: just throws for almost three hundred yards against Robert Sala,

512
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: who everyone's tweeting, everyone's writing is like a lock to

513
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: become a head coach, and I get it. He's got

514
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,959
Speaker 1: some random guys out there, but Rivers like boom boom boom,

515
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 1: boom boom. It's like, this is fucking awesome. I'm rooted

516
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: for the Niners, I bet on him, I root for

517
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 1: him naturally, And I was just like, hell yeah, I was, honestly,

518
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 1: And I got a text from a Niner buddy that's like,

519
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: Rivers deserve better when he threw that pick six, and

520
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,479
Speaker 1: I was like, I agree, Like I wish that wouldn't

521
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 1: have happened, because it kind of puts a stain on

522
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: a night that was was really good. And what hups

523
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: not his fault. I mean, the defense pretty literally looked

524
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: like Joe Montana tonight, and DeMarcus Robinson and Juwan Jennings

525
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: look like Jared Rice to John Taylor. They embarrassed that unit.

526
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: Louia Maruno, who I've always liked last year rough year

527
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, it's kind of happening again and they got shredded.

528
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 1: So what's he supposed to do? I mean, at one

529
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: point in time, I look up, it's like they got

530
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,479
Speaker 1: twenty points midway through the third quarter. You could not

531
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: have asked for more than that. I mean, part of

532
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: the reason I took the forty nine ers was because

533
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 1: I was like, I think they're gonna get to like

534
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 1: twenty five twenty six points. It's like, I don't think

535
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: Rivers got more than seventeen in them, And then you

536
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: look up it's thirty one to twenty midway through the

537
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: third quarter. You just can't thirty four to twenty seven. Hey,

538
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: from a forty four year old technically off the sideline

539
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: and Hoover, Alabama or tuscaloot wherever he's coaching down there,

540
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: Fair Hope, Alabama, I think actually Homa Phil Savage former

541
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns GM. That was really fun the Chargers downfall.

542
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: Clearly whole thing's kind of falling apart, which is sad.

543
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: You know, you got carl Ursa on the sideline taking notes,

544
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: not really sure what she's writing. You know everyone was.

545
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: You know, it went pretty viral, like everyone should follow Hurley,

546
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: like her taking notes, her not taking None of that

547
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: means anything. He either can tackle, he either can score touchdowns,

548
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: either can get off the field on third down, or

549
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: you can't. It's all on the coach on game day,

550
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: like what are we talking about? And I'm not trying

551
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: to take shots at her, but it's like the reason

552
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: the Colts fell apart is their quarterback position fell apart

553
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: until River showed up, and then their defense fell apart.

554
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: So this is a team that is just your classic

555
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: like complete free fall. But like we've been saying forever,

556
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: they do have really good players. Now defensively, I mean

557
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: you could argue their best defensive players on the sideline.

558
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:51,479
Speaker 1: And I think this also speaks to they thought they

559
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: were really close, and you could make the argument that

560
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: at the time they made it. Okay, I understand, But

561
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: as any Giants fan knows, and as my producer Shane,

562
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: who's a big Giants fan, told me, at the end

563
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: of the day, they went all in with Daniel Jones

564
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: as their quarterback. Like I know he was having a

565
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: good first half of the year, but he has a

566
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: long resume, like he's been doing this for a while,

567
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: and you trusted that, Like that's what you were trusting, right.

568
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: It's one thing it's like, hey, you know Amazon stalks down.

569
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, feel pretty confident about it. I had

570
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: about seven boxes come to my house just today. Like,

571
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: if it's down a little bit, I promise you ain't

572
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: going away invested in Daniel Jones. Like it's like, Okay,

573
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahons had a bad year, I feel pretty confident'll

574
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: bounce back, right, Lamar Jackson rough year, Like I'd feel

575
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: pretty confident next year. Okay, totally in Daniel Jones. So

576
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: you put all your chips in the middle of the table,

577
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: cause listen, guys get hurt. There's nothing you can do

578
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: about it. Right, The Packers weren't wrong for investing in

579
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,719
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons. That's just an unlucky break. But I think

580
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: as we saw that they were truly a player away.

581
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: Were the Colts a player away? And I'm not playing

582
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: Monday Morning quarterback? You can go back. And I'm not

583
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: always right. I say some dumb shit. Some of my

584
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: takes are just wrong, right, But at the time I said,

585
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: this seems crazy to me. Right, if you are a

586
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: player away, it's like you get Miles Garrett, you have

587
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: Max Krontt. No, you got a corner who, like you know,

588
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: it has been a little hit or miss lately, but

589
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: even that who's under a huge contract. But you gave

590
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: up two first round picks, Like was that really his value?

591
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: You couldn't have gotten for like a one and like

592
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,719
Speaker 1: a three? Like that was the player you're going all

593
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: in on based on your team, Like you felt good

594
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: enough with your team, and Daniel Jones, who it's not

595
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: like you'd had for three years, he just got there.

596
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: You're going all in on a quarterback. You gave a

597
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: one year, fourteen million dollar contract too. It was for

598
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: a guy whose career was defined, I would say by

599
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: being pretty conservative. Like when the Rams do stuff, they

600
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: have it lately because they've been drafting well. But you go, yeah,

601
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: they can be kind of gunslingers with the FM picks.

602
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: They're not afraid to play that game. Right. But when

603
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard, who historically kind of slow and stead he

604
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: wins the race. Now it didn't work, and then all

605
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: of a sudden he takes Anthony Richinson. It blows up

606
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: in his face, which was a pretty crazy move at

607
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: the time, given the Nanthey Richarson and started thirteen games

608
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: in college and a lot of them didn't even go

609
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: that well, but they were betting on the talent or whatever,

610
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: and it blew up in their face. And then they

611
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: found the you know, the fill in guy, and it

612
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: was going well. But the fill in guy's resume was

613
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: not exactly like, well, you know, two time pro bowler,

614
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: really good player, just kind of fell on hard times.

615
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: That was not the case. Like his best season he

616
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: threw I think it was a fifteen or twenty touchdowns

617
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: the year they went nine to eight for the Giants.

618
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: So it's not like, well, he has two forty touchdown seasons. Now,

619
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: he's a likable guy. He's smart, he says the right things,

620
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: he looks the part, he's athletic, pretty good arm. But man,

621
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: that was risky. And then clearly the worst case scenario happens.

622
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: He breaks his leg, tears Achilles Sauce gets injured. You

623
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: don't have any choice but to call a forty four

624
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: year old guy who then actually plays well, and your

625
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: defense just crumbles right in front of your face. Makes

626
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: Brock Party, who is a really good player, I mean,

627
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: look like Joe Montana. I mean, if Rock Party played

628
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: like that most games, I mean he would be the

629
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: best player in the league. And you're at home, right,

630
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: you're at home, places loud, you score on the first drive,

631
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: and then you just get a viscerated. They show the

632
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: punter for the forty nine ers, who hasn't even I

633
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: think Troy said, hasn't punted so far and part of

634
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: it's day had to buy, but has not puntered in December.

635
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: It's like, it's one thing when you're playing the Titans,

636
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: who up until they played the Chiefs four string quarterback,

637
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: you know, was competing to have the number one pick

638
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: again in the draft. So it's it's rough if you're

639
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: the Colts. Plus then you look and you go, well,

640
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: what's it like big picture? Well, the Jacks looking like

641
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: a goat to start coach, and the Jags have Trevor

642
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,719
Speaker 1: Lawrence now playing like Clemson Trevor Lawrence that made Dabbo

643
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 1: Sweeney a guy worth ten million dollars a year. And

644
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: they have a bunch of other good players on the

645
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: team because they've been drafting high for years, so they

646
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: have a good nucleus of high end players. And they

647
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: also have a guy that they made a big trade

648
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: for that it's not even playing right now, and they're

649
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: competing to be like the one or two seed. So

650
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: if Travis Hunter comes back, big picture like, they should

651
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: be better, especially if they just pick a position right, Well,

652
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: what about the Texans, Well, they just you know, Belichick

653
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 1: missed on a lot of different coaches and executives over

654
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 1: the years. One guy didn't was Nick Casario. Nick Sira

655
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: is pretty damn good. Oh yeah, and he finally after

656
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: three tries, got it right with Demiko Rants. So they

657
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: got a really good GM and coach combo with CJ.

658
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 1: Stroud will like, they got a nucleus of guys. Derek

659
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: Stingley like, they're really good. They're not going anywhere, Nico

660
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 1: Collins under contract, they have the Washington Commanders second round pick.

661
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: I mean that's I would say it's a pretty big problem. Yeah,

662
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: Titans suck. They got problems. As someone let's just say

663
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: that might know a thing or two said, it's it's

664
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: hard to even describe how big of an idiot their

665
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: owner is he's comparing to another owner might give it away.

666
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: So I can't even say it because someone in the league.

667
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 1: But the Titans got problems, right, even though they just

668
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: had a nice win and cam Ward actually had a

669
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: beautiful scramble pass that was pretty sweet actually, but man,

670
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 1: I just think if you're a Colts fan, you go,

671
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 1: what happened? How did this happen. We were just felt

672
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: so close, so close, and then we felt like we

673
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 1: skipped a step. It's like, are we the best team

674
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: in the league? And then it felt like someone took

675
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,919
Speaker 1: dynamite and wrapped it around our entire franchise and blew

676
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: it up, and now we're just royally screwed, which which sucks.

677
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 1: So grass the forty nine Ers, who are a couple

678
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 1: wins away now from being the number one seed, which

679
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: I again I I let me stayed on the record,

680
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: I think is unlikely. And the Colts, who are probably

681
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: gonna lose out and be uh they would be an

682
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,240
Speaker 1: eight and ninety. What's that record right now? Eight and seven?

683
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, they're eight and seven. My prediction right now

684
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 1: would be they go eight and nine, which the Jags game,

685
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 1: that's a problem. And at the Texans, especially if the

686
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: Texans are playing for something in that game, is going

687
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 1: to be a major issue. Okay, A couple of quick

688
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: things before we get out of DK Metcalf. Obviously, the

689
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: video where he grabs the dude's hair you know, swings

690
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:54,760
Speaker 1: misses doesn't connect, goes viral last night. Ojo Senko says

691
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: the guy called him an n bomb. Which are like, damn,

692
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 1: but no, but it should blast him. The video co's

693
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: viral of the fan uh calling him by as he said,

694
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:12,439
Speaker 1: his government name, and no racial slurs there. The guy

695
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 1: lawyers up, you know, defending himself. It's like, okay, there's

696
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 1: a lot going on here. No one knows beside those

697
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: two what was actually said. But the moment you saw

698
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: that video, my first take was he's going to get

699
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 1: in trouble. And every former player that's on TV is like,

700
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: that can't happen. You can't do it. And then today

701
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: he gets suspended for two games without pay, and I

702
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: think it's Jonathan Jones. The CBS tweeted out that there

703
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: was a clause in his contract that he misses any

704
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:51,800
Speaker 1: time for suspension. It voids guarantees and up to forty

705
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 1: million dollars in guarantees. You went, holy shit, that is

706
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 1: one expensive missed punch. Now there were there was a

707
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: story that again like his agent clearly was putting stuff

708
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 1: out that he had gone to Seattle last year when

709
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: they had gone to Detroit and pointed this fan, I

710
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: don't know this some season ticket holder, that's just heckling everybody.

711
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: But I googled. Then his contract situation. You know, when

712
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: they traded for him, they gave him like one hundred

713
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: and thirty million dollars and they guaranteed like sixty plus

714
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 1: million dollars. It was essentially the way it was written,

715
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: a two year deal. I think you have to ask yourself,

716
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: is DK metcalf on the Pittsburgh Steelers next year? And

717
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 1: he's had some moments this year. He's also been in

718
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 1: an MIA And I thought at the time the trade

719
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: was nuts. You're not a wide receiver away. I get

720
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 1: you have some wide receiver needs, but to trade for

721
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 1: this guy who Seattle like, I, how about Seattle's got

722
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: a little Billy bean quality to him. If Sam Presty,

723
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: if they call you and go, hey, are you interested

724
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: in DK for like your second round pick, pick fifty,

725
00:38:56,080 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: I say no, right, say no, yeah, we like, but

726
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: we're not interested. Oh yeah, no, we actually are interested.

727
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: We'll make him one of the higher paid guys in

728
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: the league. It was pretty DUTs, it really was. And

729
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: they got very lucky winning that Lions game, which they

730
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: deserve to win. And I said last night the play

731
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: that was made at the goal line was the overreaction

732
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 1: by people with the Lions about the past interference and

733
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: give me a break. He did not score a touchdown

734
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: the he is clearly they were pulling up. He had

735
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: been pushed back like five or six yards before they

736
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: both let go. When he throws it to GoF, game's over.

737
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: But if they would have lost, or they were in

738
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: a position where Week eighteen against the Ravens would have mattered,

739
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 1: and it still could if they blow it to the uh,

740
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 1: you know, blow the game coming up to Cleveland, which

741
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: you never really know. I do think losing the Jenkins

742
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 1: the Ohio State, I think all miss wild be like

743
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: he was our guy first. He was, he was the

744
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: SEC rookie of the year like three years ago. Absolute monster.

745
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,879
Speaker 1: You know, who knows, Maybe if Laane had him last

746
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: year as they're running back and he never goes to

747
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: Ohio State instead of going nine to three, maybe they're

748
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: ten and two or eleven to one and they're in

749
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But I guess we'll never know. And maybe

750
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: Lane still the coach of Ole Miss is back to

751
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: back playoff coach. Maybe not. I don't know, But I

752
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: just think this is the type stuff that the end

753
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: of the day, people get injured. Right, we saw it tonight,

754
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, Fred Warner. I'm not comparing those two players,

755
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: but I'm just saying neither are available. Nick. But nothing

756
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 1: you can do. You pay a guy a lot of money,

757
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: is what it is. Guys break legs, tar Achilles, right,

758
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,320
Speaker 1: tarr Acls. It sucks, but it's part of the business.

759
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 1: There's another thing when stuff like that happens and you

760
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:44,399
Speaker 1: fuck everyone on your team, and we'll see. I think

761
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 1: this amps up the pressure. And again Lamar Jackson is injured.

762
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 1: Hardboss says he has like a bad back contusion day

763
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: to day. The problem is for them, they're playing the

764
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: Packers and they gotta win. If you assume that the

765
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: Steelers are gonna win, you know, against the Browns, but

766
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: or they don't have a choice. I mean, they just

767
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: have to win to kind of hold serve for the

768
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 1: game week eighteen to matter. This is a situation. Then

769
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: my first reaction goes, I could see dk now on

770
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 1: the team next year. I really could. And this is

771
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:16,959
Speaker 1: one of those situations. It'll be interesting what Tomlin says

772
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. But you know, put this team whose battle

773
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 1: back is really playing well, right, they put themselves in

774
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: a position to be like an eleven win team and honestly,

775
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: for the first time in years, have a little positive

776
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 1: momentum going into the playoffs. The last couple of years,

777
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,879
Speaker 1: we were all out on them, right, especially last year

778
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 1: the way they lost the Bengals at the end of

779
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: the season, like they don't have a snowballs chance in

780
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: hell against the Ravens in the first round, and they didn't.

781
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: They lose by fourteen points, just like the previous year

782
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: against the Bills, lose by double digits, and this year like, okay,

783
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: and I'm even coming around, so I could see them

784
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: beating the Chargers, I could see them competing in the

785
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: first round. Like I don't think it's I thought it

786
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 1: was inconceivable the last couple of years of them winning

787
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 1: a first round game. I don't think that this year.

788
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 1: But this situation with DK, it's like, man, there's just

789
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: there's just always something with this team. It's not I'm

790
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 1: not putting this on on Tomlin necessarily, but like you

791
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 1: got rid of George Pickens because he was driving you nuts,

792
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: which listen, only a coach for an office, a coordinator,

793
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:33,240
Speaker 1: Like they know their players so much better than US fans,

794
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 1: even US people that like text with people on the

795
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: team like finding out like you're living with him every day.

796
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: He was clearly driving them nuts. George needed a fresh

797
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: start and it worked out best for both parties. But

798
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: then to turn around and get straight into business with

799
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: DK was pretty risky, right. He had been kind of

800
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: a roller coaster the last couple of years for Seattle

801
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: and John Schneider. Is punted on a couple of roller

802
00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 1: coasters and worked out pretty well. Russell. I'm not comparing

803
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's the DKA of being a roller coaster, but

804
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: just it was a lot for them, right, the ego,

805
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: the all about Russ. Clearly behind the scenes it was like,

806
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: we want out of this business. And John Schnyder said

807
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: that about DK. We want out of this business. Coward

808
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:18,320
Speaker 1: talked about this last night, like, Yeah, I talked to

809
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: people around the rams. They're like, Pooka better get a

810
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,479
Speaker 1: shit together. We don't want to be fucking talking about

811
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 1: streamers and a bunch of bullshit, right, just like, don't

812
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: be a problem now. The problem with Puoka is he's

813
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: so productive that it's like we don't really have a choice.

814
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: He's kind of got us by the balls. If he

815
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: wants to be a paint. Antonio Brown was like that

816
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 1: for a long time with the Steelers. He's like, hey, homie,

817
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 1: I'm catching one hundred and twenty balls and eighteen hundred

818
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 1: yards and seventeen touchdowns a year. What are you gonna

819
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 1: do to me? And for the most part, their answer

820
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: is gonna be nothing, right. But DK's not good enough

821
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 1: to do that right, And that's why seat I was like,

822
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: we're out. We don't even we don't even have like

823
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: we got JSN who's on the team, but like we

824
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: don't really have like a fill in to be a

825
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: dominant outside guy. So they signed Cooper Cup and they've

826
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: kind of piece mailed it together. Let's face it, they

827
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 1: feel like a wide receiver away. But they're like, we're

828
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 1: not giving that guy a third contract because again, we

829
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 1: talk a lot about the people, and it is a

830
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: people business. It's also a business where you invest a

831
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: lot in the individuals. Right. The forty nine Ers have

832
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: pay George Kittle a lot of money and guess what,

833
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: they have never regretted a penny they've sent his way.

834
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: They've never regretted a penny they've sent Trent Williams or

835
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 1: Fred Warner or brock perty this year. You invest in people,

836
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: you know, Listen, TJ. Watt, you would say at points

837
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years, like to be a

838
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: little more productive. But the Steelers never regret paying him.

839
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: They've never repeted, regretted a penny they've given Cam Heyward right,

840
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 1: They've never regretted a penny that they've given Friarmouth. So

841
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 1: it's like, you want to invest in people that you

842
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,919
Speaker 1: can trust, that you can go to war with. Reliable

843
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 1: That's what this business is. And you know, DK's kind

844
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: of proven like he's not always the most reliable guy.

845
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: And now we'll see. I mean if that, who knows

846
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: if somehow they screw up and listen, weird things happen

847
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Weird things do. I wouldn't just this

848
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 1: definitely isn't gonna be one of my locks of the

849
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:29,320
Speaker 1: week Cleveland against the Steelers, but very very expensive suspension.

850
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: And last but not least, Bill Belichick hired Bobby Petrino

851
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:43,439
Speaker 1: as his offensive coordinator. That might be the funniest shit

852
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:47,959
Speaker 1: to ever happen. I mean, I can't forever think about

853
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: like the last ten years of Belichick's career. He would

854
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: only hire guys that started as like interns that started

855
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,879
Speaker 1: at the lowest end of the totem poll form. I mean,

856
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: by the end once Josh McDaniels left, it was like

857
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,879
Speaker 1: Matt Patrician Joe Judge running his offense. It's like, Matt

858
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: patricia is a defensive coordinator, what do you do? But

859
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 1: he didn't trust anybody. Then he goes to college and

860
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: let's face it, he doesn't really know anybody. Like Urban

861
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 1: Myers retired Chip Kelly, that was his buddy. But you know,

862
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 1: maybe they weren't gonna pay him enough. You know, Chip's

863
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,319
Speaker 1: getting paid twelve million dollars to not work. Does he

864
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: want to get involved with something that's not gonna look

865
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 1: very good? I mean, on a serious note, if North

866
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 1: Carolina football was a stock, I think everyone with a

867
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: brain would short the living hell out of it. This

868
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:44,760
Speaker 1: thing feels as likely to work as like the Jets

869
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 1: in their quarterback situation year in year out. You're like,

870
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: that ain't gonna work, No chick, Nope. Right. We all

871
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,800
Speaker 1: know those couples that are like, this thing is destined

872
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 1: to blow up. And that's what this thing feels like.

873
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,240
Speaker 1: I mean, Belichick with his twenty five year old girlfriend.

874
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 1: You got put Trino, who had one of the most

875
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:05,400
Speaker 1: historic pictures in the history of the internet when he

876
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:09,280
Speaker 1: fell off that motorcycle sleeping with the strength coach's wife,

877
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: who was also the volleyball coach. And you put these

878
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:16,839
Speaker 1: two guys together, and listen, Belichick's kind of depended on him, right.

879
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 1: We talk about leverage, and people have over you, right,

880
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 1: like Bobby Belichick needs Bobby Patrino. Belichick can't coach the offense.

881
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 1: Belichick's clearly not great at evaluating the quarterback. Belichick's not

882
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: picking great wide receivers. I mean, look at the little

883
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 1: quarterback they signed this year from South Alabama's terrible. And

884
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 1: my guy Jackson told me right before we hopped on

885
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,320
Speaker 1: I guess they announced the last couple days he's returning.

886
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:47,919
Speaker 1: So I just think that this situation, it's more likely

887
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 1: that there is some crazy article in the athletic when

888
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: people are fired at the end of the year, then

889
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, they're competing for the a SEC

890
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 1: championship at the end of October. Now, the memes today

891
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 1: of the motorcycles and Belichick riding in the little side seat,

892
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many people in the NFL

893
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 1: forwarded me those pictures. The likelihood that I would have

894
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 1: told somebody five years ago that Bill Belichick is going

895
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 1: to be coaching in college at I mean, a cool school,

896
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: but not a football school, and Bobby Petrino is going

897
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 1: to be his offensive coordinator. There wouldn't have been a

898
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 1: soul in this planet who would have believed you. But

899
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 1: that's where we're at. And this gets back to the

900
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll thing. I get loving to work. I've always

901
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 1: hated the word retirement. It kind of gives me the

902
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 1: hebgbis and I love sitting around watching games, but like

903
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 1: I like doing stuff. I like having some purpose in

904
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: my life. So I get these guys who feel like

905
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: they've mastered their profession and want to keep working. But

906
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: I also can't imagine being in my mid seventies accomplished

907
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 1: what they've accomplished financially right and being just so dead

908
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 1: set on refuse seem to kind of wave the white flag. Hell,

909
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 1: I could be a consultant. I could still be around.

910
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 1: You could do TV. Pete could have done any Fox

911
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: studio TV wanted. Belichick had a media career, but they

912
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 1: just refused to not want to coach, and both of

913
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 1: them are great examples of like listen, this is gonna

914
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: be a tiny, tiny little footnote on their career resumes.

915
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,799
Speaker 1: But it's pretty embarrassing. I mean it really is. Pete

916
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: against the Texans wasn't especially someone that had the Texas.

917
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,800
Speaker 1: Mine is fourteen and a half. But the aggregate of

918
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: a season and what is happening at North Carolina with

919
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 1: Bobby Petrino that you hired Bobby Petrino? I mean, what

920
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:46,839
Speaker 1: what are we? How did that happen? Even last year?

921
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:50,359
Speaker 1: It's like he just kept Freddy Kitchens. The crazy part

922
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: about Belichick it feels like he doesn't for this guy

923
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: that's like this coaching guru, like loves the coaching profession.

924
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:01,359
Speaker 1: Does he not have that many friends? Like seriously, like

925
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 1: for guy that because coach, it's nineteen seventy five, it

926
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like he's got this crazy rolodex. You know,

927
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 1: Nick Saban coached with Bill in the early nineties, and

928
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 1: once once Nick got to college, right, he clearly created

929
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 1: like musshamp and Kirby Smart, but then like as offensive

930
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 1: coordinators left and he lost coaches. I don't know if

931
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:26,840
Speaker 1: it was Jimmy sexon helping him out. Whether he's a

932
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: great like scout evaluator of like scouring the internet. I

933
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 1: don't know what he's doing, but he was always just

934
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 1: sark Lane Mario Tosh. I mean, he's just fucking finding

935
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 1: guys all over the place, had like quality control guys

936
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: like Dan Lanning. It's like what Belichick's like a Bobby Petrino.

937
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 1: It's like, what how what I'm just I'm seriously it's

938
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 1: it's so funny, but at the same time it's extremely sad.

939
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:02,839
Speaker 1: It really is. And I think both those guys are

940
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:06,359
Speaker 1: great examples of like there comes a time in all

941
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,839
Speaker 1: of our professional lives, and I'm sure it will happen

942
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 1: to me one day. It'll happen to you two whatever

943
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 1: industry you're working, even if you are one of, if

944
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 1: not the most successful guy in your field, where it's

945
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: just like it's time and they say, and I've been

946
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 1: a king of this at parties my entire life. I've

947
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:24,879
Speaker 1: never been a late night guy, not a drug guy,

948
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:28,760
Speaker 1: like I'm king of the Irish Goodbye, You'll look around

949
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 1: and I will just be gone. I will never ever

950
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 1: be the last guy at the party. Hell, I'm never

951
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:36,800
Speaker 1: the last like fifty percent of the guys of the party.

952
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 1: I'm out. And you know Bill Walsh made a career

953
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 1: of this as an executive and then Belichick copied him.

954
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 1: Get rid of a guy a year too early instead

955
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 1: of a year too late. Yet he's treating his career

956
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:56,399
Speaker 1: completely different. He stayed like four years too late. Like, Bill,

957
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 1: what are you doing this for? To try to show

958
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 1: off to Jordan Hudson. Now you bring Bobby Petrino in

959
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 1: your office? Who you canna hire next? Sharon? More Like?

960
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 1: Is Hudson safe? You better keep type tabs on her

961
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:29,320
Speaker 1: because Bobby's gonna be all over Jordan at John Middlecoff.

962
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:31,840
Speaker 1: At John Middlecoff is the Instagram fire in those dms?

963
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 1: Get your questions answered here on the show again Instagram

964
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 1: dms wide open. It's just my name. Two f's. Congrats

965
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 1: on the upcoming child. We're the same age. But I

966
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:45,880
Speaker 1: started having kids at twenty two and I have six.

967
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 1: My man's like Philip Rivers, they change you for the better. Well,

968
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: trust me, I need some positive changing in my life always,

969
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 1: so I'm not looking forward to the no sleep but

970
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:02,320
Speaker 1: or getting pissed on, but I definitely am get excited

971
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 1: for changing to becoming a better human being. It seems

972
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 1: like a foregone conclusion. The Dolphins are gonna fire Mike McDaniel.

973
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 1: Will he not be the hottest offensive coordinator going into

974
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 1: the next season. If I'm the Lions, I'm calling him

975
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:19,440
Speaker 1: within minutes of walking out of Stephen Rossis's office and

976
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 1: offering him a job to replace the hole that Ben

977
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:25,239
Speaker 1: Johnson left. I think he'd be awesome with the Lions.

978
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I could be wrong on this. He

979
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:33,319
Speaker 1: was just asked about this after the Bengal game. All reports,

980
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 1: you know Albert Breer I saw talking about this or

981
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:38,360
Speaker 1: that he's going to return. I don't know if it

982
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 1: was the winning streak. Before the Steeler game, Breer had

983
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 1: mentioned I was watching a YouTube video of his that

984
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 1: one thing people close to Stephen ross when he was

985
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 1: doing like the audit of his organization after he shit

986
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:55,840
Speaker 1: canned the GM who was pretty terrible. I think I

987
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:57,839
Speaker 1: guess a lot of people around Mike where you better

988
00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 1: be very careful because this is the type that gets

989
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:04,879
Speaker 1: his second opportunity and is really good. Right. I think

990
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people are looking at I'm recording this

991
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,239
Speaker 1: probably an hour before the Monday night game, but like

992
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:12,720
Speaker 1: Robert sala as a guy who is gonna be way

993
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 1: better a second time around, And I'd probably agree with that.

994
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:21,280
Speaker 1: But I think Mike, you know, we've talked about this before.

995
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: It's crazy the amount of hate he got. And listen,

996
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 1: I guess I was guilty of I guess questioning. I mean,

997
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:31,880
Speaker 1: people showing up to your meetings late is kind of

998
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 1: an indictment of guys and how they respect you, even

999
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:38,959
Speaker 1: if you're kind of a turd. You know, most guys,

1000
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 1: it's one thing. Listen, everyone's been late, but last year

1001
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 1: was a problem. He even talked about the end of

1002
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 1: the season, like, guys weren't showing up on time. I

1003
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,399
Speaker 1: don't know the fine system, what can do. You could

1004
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 1: also argue these guys are so rich now who even cares?

1005
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 1: But I just think that I guess I'm operating under

1006
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 1: the idea that Mike McDaniel is going to be the

1007
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,880
Speaker 1: coach for the for the Miami Dolphins next year. Obviously

1008
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 1: they're gonna hire a GM. Maybe it's one of those

1009
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 1: things where the guy gets like a year to evaluate him.

1010
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 1: It almost slows down your clock because it doesn't put

1011
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 1: pressure on you. He's not your hire. So if it

1012
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:12,080
Speaker 1: does work, you just keep rolling. If it doesn't, you

1013
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 1: can make your own higher. So that's what I don't

1014
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 1: expect him to get fired as a Bills fan. This

1015
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 1: from Amy. As a Bills fan, it bothers me that

1016
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 1: this narrative Josh going in the playoffs, Mahomes, Burrow, and

1017
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 1: Lamar aren't in it. It's now or never. I would agree.

1018
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 1: All four teams have been at the worst this season.

1019
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 1: Each one is dealing with their own issues. But Josh

1020
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 1: is the only quarterback out of the big four to

1021
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 1: have pulled his team to the playoffs, while the other

1022
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 1: three have not. While is the flip side of the

1023
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 1: narrative not being discussed. This is the worst roster of

1024
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 1: the Bills have had since their run, but Josh is

1025
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 1: willing his team to the dance. Make it make sense.

1026
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 1: It will not matter if you win games in the playoffs,

1027
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 1: the narratives about these guys being around, these guys not

1028
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 1: being around. If he gets the Bills to the super Bowl,

1029
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:10,920
Speaker 1: it would be a crowning achievement for Josh in his

1030
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 1: run with the Bills. If he were to win the

1031
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 1: super Bowl, it would validate his career. Let let's be real.

1032
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 1: I mean, Aaron Rodgers one of the greatest players of

1033
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:22,279
Speaker 1: all time. He's been to one Super Bowl, right, he

1034
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 1: won it, which is really important. But it's not like

1035
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:26,880
Speaker 1: Aaron's like, you know, I only won one, but I

1036
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:29,799
Speaker 1: went to four other ones. You know, you can be

1037
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:33,799
Speaker 1: an absolute legend and just win the one, right, and

1038
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter who you went through. He's already like

1039
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 1: they lost the games of the Chiefs for the last

1040
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 1: five years or whatever, but he's played well in those games.

1041
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:45,000
Speaker 1: So I think the pressure want to see how the

1042
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: seeding kind of plays out. I mean, by all accounts,

1043
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:50,360
Speaker 1: you just look at the schedule, the pay I almost

1044
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:54,919
Speaker 1: said the Pats, the Patriots. The Pats, you know they're

1045
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 1: probably gonna win the last two games, right. They get

1046
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 1: the Jets, who are just horrendous, and then the Dolphins,

1047
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:03,720
Speaker 1: who are just who I think are gonna quiet quiet

1048
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 1: tanking what do they call it quiet quitting? Are quietly tanking,

1049
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 1: and even if they did try, they are not good

1050
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:14,440
Speaker 1: in the cold in New England in early January, it

1051
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 1: is not a warm place. So I would imagine the

1052
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:21,240
Speaker 1: Patriots win the division, you guys, depending on what happens

1053
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 1: to the Chargers this week they played at Texas. That's

1054
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 1: a really good game. You guys could be the five seed,

1055
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 1: draw the Steelers, then all of a sudden, depending on

1056
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 1: what happens, you know, the Charger of the Texans could

1057
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 1: easily win a game, so you might not even have

1058
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 1: to play the Broncos. Right, so your your path could

1059
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 1: be the Steelers potentially who the Steelers the Jacks right

1060
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 1: to get it? I mean, that's that's a realistic path

1061
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 1: to the AFC Championship game, and then play who's ever

1062
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 1: sitting there? The Texans, the Chargers, the Broncos, the Pates.

1063
00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:59,919
Speaker 1: I might start cralling on the Pates. Love the pot

1064
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:02,920
Speaker 1: I like this guy already as a Packer fan. I

1065
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 1: respect the fact that I've been blessed with amazing quarterbacks

1066
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 1: in my life. As you talked about Mac Jones playing

1067
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:10,960
Speaker 1: into a starter in the coming years, do you think

1068
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 1: teams should consider going after Malik Willis as he's balled

1069
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 1: out in his time playing for US. I was actually

1070
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 1: thinking about this when I screenshoted you your post not

1071
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 1: post DM is Justin Fields. I'd have to look at

1072
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 1: the numbers. Obviously, Justin's got a ton of time to play,

1073
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 1: but I've watched Malik Willis now definitely in that game alone.

1074
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 1: Like I would rather have Malik Willis than Justin Fields.

1075
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 1: And this is where like we discriminate guys that aren't

1076
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 1: top picks. Like Justin Fields got forty million dollars this offseason.

1077
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 1: He got benched immediately, right, he was atrocious. Not listen,

1078
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 1: I'm not putting all the blame on him. The Jets

1079
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 1: are a joke, but he was a bad player on

1080
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 1: other teams. Like he's just a run around guy, can't

1081
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 1: pass right, He's got a big arm, but he, like

1082
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 1: Malik will in that game pocket throws. To me, just

1083
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 1: like if you said, John, you have to have one

1084
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 1: of these two guys as your starter next year, Malik

1085
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 1: Willis or Justin Fields. I wouldn't even hesitate for Malik

1086
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:17,920
Speaker 1: Willis so clearly in the infrastructure of the of the

1087
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 1: Packers last couple of years, he's dramatically improved. And obviously,

1088
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:25,480
Speaker 1: like Justin Fields, he brings the physical running element too.

1089
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 1: But the deep ball that he threw for the touchdown,

1090
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 1: some of those drive throws over the middle of the field,

1091
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 1: even a couple of touch passes one thousand percent, you know,

1092
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 1: if I would one hundred, if you can get Malik Willis,

1093
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:41,200
Speaker 1: can you get it for like one year, ten million

1094
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 1: dollars or something? I would wouldn't even hesitate to do that.

1095
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 1: That was really really impressive on Saturday night to come

1096
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 1: in out of the bullpen where you get no practice reps.

1097
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:57,320
Speaker 1: The game plan is to Love whose skill set is

1098
00:59:57,360 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 1: just a little different. I mean Love is to me

1099
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 1: much more of a true pocket quarterback, where Malik Willis

1100
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 1: is much more of a hybrid. He's like constantly what

1101
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 1: they were hoping justin fields would be so. But this

1102
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:11,480
Speaker 1: gets back to when you're drafted really high, you just

1103
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 1: get more shots fair not You just do and people

1104
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 1: are willing to give you money. They are like, wait,

1105
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 1: they give who money? They give him? How much happens

1106
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 1: all the time? John question for the chat, why are

1107
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:30,360
Speaker 1: the Jags the Rodney Dangerfield of the NFL. I know

1108
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:32,880
Speaker 1: it's a small market, but also Buffalo and New Orleans.

1109
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 1: But never hear Andy Reid the week he plays the

1110
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 1: Bill say they're in a small market, but a good team.

1111
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 1: Reid would never disrespect the Bills. And yes, the Jags

1112
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:45,720
Speaker 1: play second or third fiddle in their own state. But

1113
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:50,440
Speaker 1: guess what that happens elsewhere too. In popularity contests, the

1114
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:54,560
Speaker 1: Georgia Bulldogs top the Atlanta Falcons, and Ohio State tops

1115
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 1: the popularity of the Bengals in the Browns time, we

1116
01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 1: stop holding the Jags different standards. Well, here's the thing, man,

1117
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:05,480
Speaker 1: we don't talk that much about the Atlanta Falcons. I mean,

1118
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 1: we talk about the Browns because they're always polarizing and controversial,

1119
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 1: not because they're good at football, like the Bengals are

1120
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 1: driven by one of the best quarterbacks in the league,

1121
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 1: or else we wouldn't be talking about them. So the

1122
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 1: market size and using like the Chiefs are small market,

1123
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 1: well yeah, they've been now a dominant team for almost

1124
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:25,960
Speaker 1: fifteen years, and since Mahomes they've been the best team

1125
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 1: in the league. So if the Jags were a dominant team,

1126
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 1: even in a small market, we would talk about them

1127
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 1: a lot. But for most of my life they have sucked.

1128
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: And for the last like ten to fifteen years, besides

1129
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 1: the one year with Moron and Bortles, they have not

1130
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 1: been good, and they have drafted constantly, really really high.

1131
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:50,440
Speaker 1: So I think when people disrespect them, and I get it.

1132
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I've made some comments about the non power

1133
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:56,760
Speaker 1: forward that gets people up in arms. There's a chip

1134
01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 1: on your shoulder when you are the little guy. They're

1135
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:02,360
Speaker 1: just this. Now, football is a little different because even

1136
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 1: if you're quote unquote the little guy, your own are

1137
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:07,600
Speaker 1: still a billionaire. You still have a huge payroll. So

1138
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:09,480
Speaker 1: it's not like Apple's nap. It's not like the difference

1139
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 1: of the Yankees and the Tampa Bay Race. But the

1140
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 1: Jags will never get treated like the Tampa Bay Race.

1141
01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:19,520
Speaker 1: Just not possible. Now. They could get treated much better

1142
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:23,439
Speaker 1: with performances like that against Denver if they come into

1143
01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:26,440
Speaker 1: the playoffs playing well. They do have a famous quarterback

1144
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:30,000
Speaker 1: that we have talked about since college. But it takes

1145
01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:33,120
Speaker 1: like the Bills. I mean, when I was a kid,

1146
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:35,520
Speaker 1: they went to four straight Super Bowls. They had like

1147
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:38,640
Speaker 1: five Hall of Famers on that team, and over the

1148
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:41,720
Speaker 1: course of the last what seven eight years, they've had

1149
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 1: one of the best players in the NFL. They have

1150
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 1: the reigning MVP. When I put the Bills on television,

1151
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:50,720
Speaker 1: if I'm the league, which impacts who I talk about

1152
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 1: in the big games, it does thirty forty million people

1153
01:02:56,120 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 1: this week. They've built the television product around Eagles versus Bills. Why,

1154
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 1: because that's treated like a heavyweight matchup. You guys just

1155
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:06,600
Speaker 1: haven't got that treatment because you've been so crappy. So

1156
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:11,200
Speaker 1: I think Sean Payton, who came from New Orleans, like

1157
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 1: we don't talk about the Saints, Tyler Shuck is pretty

1158
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 1: impressive right now making some plays like they've been pretty

1159
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:21,760
Speaker 1: good for like the last month. If the season started

1160
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:24,880
Speaker 1: right now and you just played seventeen games, you might

1161
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:28,920
Speaker 1: bet on them to win that division, right, So I

1162
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:31,160
Speaker 1: think part of it. But the reason we used to

1163
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 1: talk about the Saints sports they had Drew Brees, one

1164
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 1: of the greatest players at his position and a polarizing, big,

1165
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:41,680
Speaker 1: you know, personality coach. Those guys left and we stopped

1166
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:44,720
Speaker 1: talking about them. Now it doesn't matter who coaches the

1167
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:47,840
Speaker 1: Cowboys or the Packers, or the Steelers or the Niners.

1168
01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 1: Like their brands are so big nationally, they get treated differently.

1169
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 1: I say this all the time, this is a numbers game,

1170
01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:58,600
Speaker 1: Like I'm pretty numb to this all. You know. It's like,

1171
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:01,320
Speaker 1: I got no problem. I don't watch that much Jags

1172
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:04,680
Speaker 1: football because I haven't had to, you know, Like I'm

1173
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:08,600
Speaker 1: not breaking down every play of the Jets. You almost treat,

1174
01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:13,760
Speaker 1: you know, teams that don't win, especially as the season

1175
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:17,400
Speaker 1: goes on a little bit like you would a baseball

1176
01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:19,720
Speaker 1: team during the baseball season. If you're doing local radio,

1177
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:23,200
Speaker 1: you're not breaking down every inning of every game like

1178
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 1: you do in football. That's not the way you cover

1179
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:29,440
Speaker 1: the sport unless you're in like New York. So I

1180
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:31,880
Speaker 1: think the Jags can build on this. If they can

1181
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:34,040
Speaker 1: become a consistent contender, they can get talked about more.

1182
01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:38,640
Speaker 1: But also the two Southern divisions, I would say are

1183
01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:43,320
Speaker 1: the two least important divisions of the discourse and consistently

1184
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 1: the television product. It broke through a little bit when

1185
01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:50,040
Speaker 1: you know Peyton Manning with the Colts that changed the game.

1186
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:53,040
Speaker 1: But use the Houston Texans for as a good example.

1187
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 1: When they were good under Kubiak and Bill O'Brien and

1188
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:02,240
Speaker 1: making wild card game, they were usually put on in

1189
01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 1: the wild card round the worst spot, which is Saturday afternoon,

1190
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:12,479
Speaker 1: which Bill Simmons calls the shaky game. That's where they went, right,

1191
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:16,480
Speaker 1: who usually went at night? It was like you know

1192
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:20,160
Speaker 1: Niners Packers, right, I mean, it was the Eagles versus

1193
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:24,840
Speaker 1: the Cowboy whatever. It's big brands, so brands matter, Like

1194
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:28,440
Speaker 1: this is all a business. This isn't There's no emotion involved,

1195
01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:32,000
Speaker 1: and I think people get very emotional. Now, did Sean Payton,

1196
01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:35,040
Speaker 1: Like Sean Payton's kind of a shit talker, it's who

1197
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:38,880
Speaker 1: he is. But like what he said was factually not incorrect.

1198
01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 1: The Denver Broncos, whether Sean Payton and Liam Cohen exist

1199
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:46,440
Speaker 1: or not, are way more important to the NFL than

1200
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:49,800
Speaker 1: the Jacks. I mean, it's just a fact, and he's

1201
01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 1: worked in a small market. The Denver Broncos are way

1202
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:54,480
Speaker 1: more important in the league in terms of over the

1203
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 1: course of the last thirty plus years with the television

1204
01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:05,200
Speaker 1: explosion than the Saints. Not everything is like a shot.

1205
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 1: Some of the things are just reality. Part of my

1206
01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 1: take has more listeners than me. I mean, it was like,

1207
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:14,320
Speaker 1: what am I supposed to do? Well, It's like, I'm

1208
01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:19,479
Speaker 1: just a It's just a fact. It's okay. You always

1209
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:22,160
Speaker 1: keep bringing up the Rams DBS as the weak link

1210
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 1: of the team, and while I agree it's the worst

1211
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:26,000
Speaker 1: part of the defense, it's not the weak part of

1212
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:29,320
Speaker 1: the team. Everyone keeps saying the Seahawks defense because that

1213
01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 1: is the special teams. I think you know Sean almost

1214
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 1: said Sean Payton. Sean McVay last week fired Chase Blackburn,

1215
01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:38,040
Speaker 1: who used to play for the Giants when I worked

1216
01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:39,920
Speaker 1: for the Eagles. I think he won a couple of

1217
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:43,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowls, has become a special teams coach fired him

1218
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 1: last year or last week, and I saw, like rap

1219
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:49,520
Speaker 1: sheet or chefter's the first time he's ever fired a

1220
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 1: coach in season. That's pretty crazy. I guess you coach

1221
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 1: long enough, it's almost inevitable. Uh So, Basically the fact

1222
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 1: is that most teams right now don't have dbs they

1223
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:03,840
Speaker 1: can put up with the receivers these days, except maybe

1224
01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:06,880
Speaker 1: the Broncos and the Texans. We lost four games the

1225
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 1: season Eagles, Niners, and Seahawks were all because of miss

1226
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:12,360
Speaker 1: field goals and a punt return. It wasn't because our

1227
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:15,400
Speaker 1: DBS got burned in those games. One game you can

1228
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:18,400
Speaker 1: say the dbs gave up crucial catches was the Panther game,

1229
01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 1: and even that game we could have won if Stafford

1230
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:26,720
Speaker 1: didn't have three turnovers. Your thoughts, I've said forever, you'd

1231
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:29,880
Speaker 1: have to look at in the modern era of the

1232
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:32,480
Speaker 1: salary cap, there aren't many teams with like three or

1233
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:35,560
Speaker 1: four sweet dbs. It's not usually the way it works.

1234
01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:39,720
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think. I mean, Richard Sherman would argue

1235
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 1: they had the best secondary throughout his career, especially in

1236
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:47,840
Speaker 1: their heyday. You know, I think their second corner was like, Okay,

1237
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 1: it's not like they had multiple Richard Sherman's. They had

1238
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:54,880
Speaker 1: awesome safeties in Earl Thomas and Cam Chancellor and you know,

1239
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 1: great linebacker play kJ Wright and Bobby Wagner that could cover.

1240
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:04,640
Speaker 1: So that helped. But like I think Denver with Peyton

1241
01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 1: Manning secondary, I mean, they had three really good corners

1242
01:08:08,040 --> 01:08:11,800
Speaker 1: keep to Leeb, Chris Harris Junior and Bradley Roby, so

1243
01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:15,400
Speaker 1: I would say that was more of a coverage, better

1244
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:20,120
Speaker 1: cover unit. But most teams, I'm with you aren't gonna

1245
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:22,320
Speaker 1: have like Durell Reeves on one side and Dean Sanders

1246
01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 1: on the other. You can get by with average dB play,

1247
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:27,360
Speaker 1: but your d line has to dominate and your offense

1248
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:31,200
Speaker 1: has to dominate. And special teams like they have always

1249
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:38,400
Speaker 1: been a bugaboo of Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan. Those guys, listen,

1250
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:43,200
Speaker 1: I totally understand not taking kickers in punters seriously, if

1251
01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:46,280
Speaker 1: you're those guys, I get it, like these guys, but

1252
01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:49,640
Speaker 1: you're the head coach and you need these guys in

1253
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:52,479
Speaker 1: those units. Like I've never been to a RAMS practice,

1254
01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:55,720
Speaker 1: but like there's a reason Kyle's dicking around talking to

1255
01:08:55,760 --> 01:08:57,759
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks or doing something else when the special teams

1256
01:08:57,800 --> 01:09:00,000
Speaker 1: going on. Maybe that's changed a little bit this year,

1257
01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:03,599
Speaker 1: but historically, like he doesn't care, and I think it's

1258
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:05,160
Speaker 1: fair to say Sean's kind of the same way, Like

1259
01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:08,800
Speaker 1: the offense is their baby. Physicality on defense talking with

1260
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:12,439
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator because they view that as football. Then

1261
01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:15,679
Speaker 1: they get super pissed when I mean that punt returned

1262
01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:19,559
Speaker 1: by Shaheed. I remember talking about this the next day,

1263
01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:22,599
Speaker 1: or maybe we talked about it two days later when

1264
01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:25,479
Speaker 1: we were recording. Before we hit record, It's like I

1265
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 1: was like thinking about that play. Did he even get touched?

1266
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:30,559
Speaker 1: Was he even running full speed? I need to go

1267
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:32,839
Speaker 1: back and watch that play. Was there even a defender

1268
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:35,560
Speaker 1: within like five feet of them at all? Because you

1269
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:39,240
Speaker 1: could argue that a punt return touchdown is the most

1270
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:43,639
Speaker 1: electric play in football because typically it has like a

1271
01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:46,920
Speaker 1: broken tackle where a guy's running full speed, or like

1272
01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 1: an incredible juke move. I feel like he just ran

1273
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 1: straight in and no one even touched him, So it's

1274
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:58,360
Speaker 1: just an embarrassment. But they would never allow that on

1275
01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:02,600
Speaker 1: their unit. It would never be tolerated ever. But I

1276
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:06,160
Speaker 1: think it's like all special teams, which I kind of understand,

1277
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:23,400
Speaker 1: but it's like, you're the head coach. How can a

1278
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:26,760
Speaker 1: team tank but not be super obvious? Raiders fan here,

1279
01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 1: we need to lose the Chiefs and the Giants. Being

1280
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:31,840
Speaker 1: around the NFL, we can lose those without flat out

1281
01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:34,600
Speaker 1: giving up. Pete probably wants to show up so we

1282
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:36,640
Speaker 1: can win, while the rest of us don't want to

1283
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 1: win well at this point in time. It Listen, if

1284
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:43,680
Speaker 1: it was a month ago and you're two and eight, like,

1285
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:46,559
Speaker 1: keep playing hard, but you got two games left, you

1286
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:50,840
Speaker 1: got two wins. I'd be a little nervous because I

1287
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:53,920
Speaker 1: had a buddy on the Texans shoot me a video

1288
01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:58,280
Speaker 1: of a Max Crosby play where he rammed down the

1289
01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:03,120
Speaker 1: running back. They played really hard yesterday, Ashra Genty. I

1290
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:08,040
Speaker 1: think Will Anderson gave him a compliment like they look good.

1291
01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:12,200
Speaker 1: If they play like they played against the Texans against

1292
01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:16,120
Speaker 1: the Giants, they easily can win. They if they play

1293
01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:18,400
Speaker 1: that same game they played against Texans. They will beat

1294
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:21,519
Speaker 1: not just the Giant, they'll be the Chiefs too. And

1295
01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:24,640
Speaker 1: here's what I would be scared of, because there's no

1296
01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:27,040
Speaker 1: way you can really do it. If you truly want

1297
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:30,120
Speaker 1: to tank, you fire Pete Carroll right now, and you

1298
01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:32,960
Speaker 1: just have like the some interim guy and you just

1299
01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:35,439
Speaker 1: let it be a complete shit show. But if Pete

1300
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:37,120
Speaker 1: Carroll's there, which I would imagine is going to coach

1301
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:39,240
Speaker 1: the last two games, they're gonna win one of these

1302
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:42,280
Speaker 1: last two games. Because if I'm Andy Reid and now

1303
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:44,840
Speaker 1: all my quarterbacks are injured, minshew, I guess avoided the

1304
01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:47,320
Speaker 1: ACL but he's still out for the year, which is

1305
01:11:47,320 --> 01:11:53,000
Speaker 1: two games. I'm losing to you on purpose. I'm literally

1306
01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:57,559
Speaker 1: gonna try to screw you because is Fernando Mendoza gonna

1307
01:11:57,600 --> 01:11:59,799
Speaker 1: be great or not? No one knows. Mis's the draft,

1308
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:03,160
Speaker 1: just never know. But I'm not giving you the opportunity

1309
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:05,800
Speaker 1: to get the guy. And if you end up getting

1310
01:12:05,800 --> 01:12:07,880
Speaker 1: the guy because someone else you know, trades with you,

1311
01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:09,760
Speaker 1: so be it. You have to get rid of your

1312
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:11,800
Speaker 1: But I'm not just giving you the number one overall pick.

1313
01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:15,160
Speaker 1: So I think easily you could beat the Giants if

1314
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:16,840
Speaker 1: you play as hard as you just did against Texas,

1315
01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:20,840
Speaker 1: you'll win that game. And two, I just think the

1316
01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:23,640
Speaker 1: Chiefs are gonna let you beat them. Hey, they might

1317
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:25,800
Speaker 1: not even have to try. I mean they're rolling out

1318
01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:28,920
Speaker 1: practice squad quarterbacks. It's not like they were scoring that

1319
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:32,120
Speaker 1: many points when they had Mahomes in there. So and

1320
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:36,240
Speaker 1: if Andy, should you know on purpose let you win

1321
01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:42,559
Speaker 1: because it screws you and you're in his division. Question

1322
01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:45,600
Speaker 1: for the back. An interesting hypothetical came up. Say the

1323
01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:48,439
Speaker 1: Packers are up five with three seconds left in the game.

1324
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:52,240
Speaker 1: They kicked the ball off and the Bear Bears returner

1325
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:57,880
Speaker 1: breaks away and is about to score a touchdown, but

1326
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:01,839
Speaker 1: a fan jumps out of the stand and makes the tackle.

1327
01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:07,519
Speaker 1: Where's this hypothetical coming up? What where's this happening? What

1328
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:10,960
Speaker 1: would happen time expired and the returner never crossed the

1329
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:15,799
Speaker 1: goal line? Rekick untimed down? Curious your thoughts. My first

1330
01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:19,800
Speaker 1: thought slash reaction would be there unless the fan is

1331
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:25,120
Speaker 1: like a former NFL dB. They are not touching the

1332
01:13:25,240 --> 01:13:28,559
Speaker 1: return man. If the return man is an open space

1333
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:31,200
Speaker 1: and the guy comes out of the stands, I do

1334
01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:35,639
Speaker 1: not think he touches a finger on the guy unless

1335
01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:38,559
Speaker 1: the guy is completely gassed, if he has any juice

1336
01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:41,439
Speaker 1: left in the tank, which you know, the guy is

1337
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:43,639
Speaker 1: gonna be like a dB or wide receiver, so he's

1338
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:47,080
Speaker 1: not gonna be he's gonna be in great shape. I

1339
01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:52,720
Speaker 1: would highly bet against if you allowed just no defenders, right,

1340
01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:56,640
Speaker 1: let's just kick it off to return Rex. You know,

1341
01:13:56,680 --> 01:14:01,160
Speaker 1: I don't even know trying to think, do you Samuel right,

1342
01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:03,840
Speaker 1: some guy like that and you just let him run

1343
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:06,040
Speaker 1: and you have a random fan. Let's just pick a

1344
01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:08,240
Speaker 1: guy like twenty seven years old, a dude, maybe a

1345
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:11,679
Speaker 1: high school football player, right, just working in finance. Pull

1346
01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:13,800
Speaker 1: him out and just start him at the goal line

1347
01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:16,320
Speaker 1: and say, when Deebos gets to like the thirty yard line,

1348
01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:19,600
Speaker 1: you can start running at him. I would bet my

1349
01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:22,640
Speaker 1: bottom dollar that you could not touch one finger on

1350
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:27,600
Speaker 1: his body. I'd be pretty confident on that. If he

1351
01:14:27,760 --> 01:14:31,920
Speaker 1: did accomplish tackling him, I have no clue what the

1352
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:36,599
Speaker 1: rule would be. You probably would have to give him

1353
01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:40,200
Speaker 1: the touchdown. That guy would get the shit kicked out

1354
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:42,519
Speaker 1: of him. I saw the video of where James Harrison

1355
01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:46,880
Speaker 1: slammed the fan back in the day, so awesome. Grew

1356
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:50,479
Speaker 1: up watching l way See to mile high, longtime Bronco fan.

1357
01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:54,160
Speaker 1: Since free agency nineteen ninety two, only the Broncos and

1358
01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:57,320
Speaker 1: the Ravens of won Super Bowls with objectively poor quarterback play.

1359
01:14:58,040 --> 01:15:02,040
Speaker 1: The fifteen Broncos average low eighties for the season between

1360
01:15:02,040 --> 01:15:05,920
Speaker 1: Manning and Osweiler, an all time football team. Why are

1361
01:15:05,920 --> 01:15:09,120
Speaker 1: folks so tuned in on how Nicks plays when it's

1362
01:15:09,160 --> 01:15:12,240
Speaker 1: clear the Broncos have a unique winning formula where the

1363
01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:16,280
Speaker 1: quarterback well critical to success, is not the only variable

1364
01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:19,680
Speaker 1: to success. Protect the football and our defense and in

1365
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:25,160
Speaker 1: tangibles makes us favors. This was yesterday morning, so before

1366
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:29,920
Speaker 1: you got your ass kicked, now listen you can. We're

1367
01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:35,360
Speaker 1: never gonna see the two thousand Ravens, the even the

1368
01:15:35,439 --> 01:15:40,840
Speaker 1: year Broncos team, the in the twenty fourteen, fifteen sixteen range,

1369
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:43,679
Speaker 1: the Lob teams, any of the teams in the eighties.

1370
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:45,719
Speaker 1: Like those days playing defense are over, so you're gonna

1371
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:48,680
Speaker 1: have your days. We just get smoked. I did watch

1372
01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:51,080
Speaker 1: yesterday thinking like this is a little too easy. You know.

1373
01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:54,599
Speaker 1: Now you're definitely gonna look better against the Chiefs, and

1374
01:15:55,320 --> 01:15:58,360
Speaker 1: whatever the kid's name is, you're gonna kill him, probably,

1375
01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:02,920
Speaker 1: But I you do need bo knicks to play well

1376
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:07,240
Speaker 1: because the rules and the officials, the way that the

1377
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:11,800
Speaker 1: game is called, you know, I mean, you can really

1378
01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:15,559
Speaker 1: protect the quarterback. It is a very quarterback friendly sport now,

1379
01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:17,840
Speaker 1: and you can just play a guy if your d

1380
01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:19,840
Speaker 1: lion's not getting home. And I think they sacked Trevor

1381
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:22,439
Speaker 1: Lawrence what three times yesterday, but he was getting rid

1382
01:16:22,479 --> 01:16:24,679
Speaker 1: of the ball. Guys were open in the end zone.

1383
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:28,520
Speaker 1: Most of these good teams now, even like the Chargers

1384
01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:31,720
Speaker 1: Me and Colin were talking about yesterday. Trey Harris, what's

1385
01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:34,519
Speaker 1: he a four star from Ole Miss that they paid

1386
01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:37,280
Speaker 1: a bunch of money to in the transfer portal. Quentin

1387
01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:39,800
Speaker 1: Johnson TCU, he was on the team that went to

1388
01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:44,040
Speaker 1: the National championship. He was a first round pick. Keenan Allen,

1389
01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:46,519
Speaker 1: you know, is one of the great players of his

1390
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:48,960
Speaker 1: generation or one of the most consistent players of his generation.

1391
01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:53,680
Speaker 1: Hampton's a first round running back, like Lad mcconkey's a

1392
01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:57,679
Speaker 1: high second round slot receiver. I mean, they got dudes right.

1393
01:16:57,760 --> 01:17:01,400
Speaker 1: So most of these teams you're gonna play in big

1394
01:17:01,439 --> 01:17:05,559
Speaker 1: games have a bunch of wide receivers. So I do

1395
01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:10,280
Speaker 1: think that your quarterback play does matter. You guys look

1396
01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:14,160
Speaker 1: a lot better when he's throwing four touchdowns. He threw

1397
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:17,600
Speaker 1: a beautiful touchdown pass on the first I think you

1398
01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:19,240
Speaker 1: guys were down seven to nothing and it was I

1399
01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:20,960
Speaker 1: think it tied the game or early seven to seven,

1400
01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:23,320
Speaker 1: kind of off his back foot sudden in the back

1401
01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:25,280
Speaker 1: corner of the right part of the end zone. I mean,

1402
01:17:25,320 --> 01:17:28,400
Speaker 1: it was gorgeous. It was one of the nicer passes

1403
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:32,200
Speaker 1: of the day any quarterback now bar is pretty low yesterday,

1404
01:17:32,600 --> 01:17:35,360
Speaker 1: but the drake may pass to Kyle Williams that passed

1405
01:17:35,360 --> 01:17:38,519
Speaker 1: a sudden. Trevor threw a couple beautiful passes in the

1406
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:41,320
Speaker 1: red zone. He threw one back shoulder pass. I saw

1407
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:42,880
Speaker 1: the highlights to day at the gym. I was like,

1408
01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:47,360
Speaker 1: that was nice. I mean, Trevor Lawrence, here's the thing

1409
01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:51,439
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. If you're playing another quarterback that's playing

1410
01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:54,120
Speaker 1: really well, and Trevor Lawrence, if he's playing like this

1411
01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:57,040
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, they're gonna be a major problem. Justin

1412
01:17:57,040 --> 01:18:01,080
Speaker 1: Herbert is playing really really well, right, Josh Allen, his

1413
01:18:01,200 --> 01:18:05,600
Speaker 1: resume speaks for herself. CJ. Stroud wasn't good yesterday, but

1414
01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:09,960
Speaker 1: he's had really good games. Number two overall pick. Drake

1415
01:18:10,040 --> 01:18:14,120
Speaker 1: may number three overall pick. There's just a lot of talent.

1416
01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:17,000
Speaker 1: You know, Aaron Rodgers is in a one game scenario.

1417
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:23,240
Speaker 1: Who knows. So the AFC's down a little bit this year,

1418
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:25,519
Speaker 1: but the quarterback play can still be really, really good.

1419
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:28,400
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on the Jake Paul fight? Do

1420
01:18:28,439 --> 01:18:31,800
Speaker 1: you think influencer boxers can bring back boxing to a

1421
01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:36,599
Speaker 1: more mainstream sport and edge out stuff like soccer and hockey? Lastly,

1422
01:18:37,200 --> 01:18:39,439
Speaker 1: who are you fighting? If you get three hundred thousand

1423
01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:43,799
Speaker 1: dollars to show in one mil to win? Love everything

1424
01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:48,840
Speaker 1: you do. Congrats on the Netflix deal. I saw so

1425
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:54,200
Speaker 1: much negativity, including my three and out text chain. Everyone

1426
01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:58,599
Speaker 1: it feels like, hates what this stands for, which is

1427
01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:02,519
Speaker 1: like a mockery of it all. I feel like everyone

1428
01:19:02,640 --> 01:19:08,760
Speaker 1: online despised it all personally. That is the type entertainment

1429
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:11,920
Speaker 1: that is right up my alley. I live for this stuff,

1430
01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:16,080
Speaker 1: and honestly, this was much more. I felt like serious

1431
01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:19,400
Speaker 1: kind of You could argue that Joshua could have knocked

1432
01:19:19,439 --> 01:19:23,040
Speaker 1: him out earlier. The Tyson thing is like, that's just

1433
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:26,519
Speaker 1: that is true, my true, Like I love this shit.

1434
01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:30,639
Speaker 1: It's just it's just so dirty, so corrupt, but also

1435
01:19:30,800 --> 01:19:34,400
Speaker 1: like it's kind of business in America. I don't know

1436
01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:36,920
Speaker 1: if this is true or not, but I googled it.

1437
01:19:37,120 --> 01:19:40,720
Speaker 1: I looked at multiple articles. They're saying the payout for

1438
01:19:40,840 --> 01:19:43,760
Speaker 1: these guys is give or take ninety plus million dollars each.

1439
01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:50,320
Speaker 1: So you know, did Jake Paul have any business fighting

1440
01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:52,200
Speaker 1: that guy? He has as much business fighting that guy

1441
01:19:52,200 --> 01:19:54,160
Speaker 1: as I do, like playing Tiger Woods in his prime

1442
01:19:54,200 --> 01:19:56,640
Speaker 1: one on one in golf. Of course he's gonna get

1443
01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:59,880
Speaker 1: his as kicked. That looked like Miles Garrett fighting a

1444
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:03,920
Speaker 1: slot receiver, and Jake's pretty big. But I commend him

1445
01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:08,600
Speaker 1: for two things. One incredible businessman speaks for itself. He

1446
01:20:08,720 --> 01:20:12,120
Speaker 1: just did something on Netflix which I would guess got

1447
01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:16,599
Speaker 1: millions upon millions of people to watch live, and got

1448
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:20,040
Speaker 1: a payout. He's already super rich because he's been doing

1449
01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:22,840
Speaker 1: these But for the other guy, when they said on

1450
01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:25,120
Speaker 1: the broadcast that this was gonna be the second or

1451
01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:27,959
Speaker 1: third biggest payout of Joshua's career, you're telling me Joshua's

1452
01:20:27,960 --> 01:20:31,479
Speaker 1: had a payout bigger ninety million dollars. I don't pretend

1453
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:34,120
Speaker 1: to be a boxing guy, but i'd be shocked if

1454
01:20:34,120 --> 01:20:37,120
Speaker 1: that's true, If he actually is going to get ninety

1455
01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:39,880
Speaker 1: million dollars for the Netflix deal, that's gonna be easily

1456
01:20:39,880 --> 01:20:42,360
Speaker 1: the biggest payout he's ever I mean, Floyd Mayweather, who's

1457
01:20:42,360 --> 01:20:44,120
Speaker 1: by far the richest fighter, used to do like one

1458
01:20:44,200 --> 01:20:47,439
Speaker 1: hundred plus million dollar payouts and that was pay per view.

1459
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:51,600
Speaker 1: So the business Jake Paul has built. And here's the

1460
01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:53,200
Speaker 1: other thing, Like you asked me, what would you need

1461
01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:55,559
Speaker 1: to get in the rank three hunder grant? Well, I

1462
01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:58,599
Speaker 1: mean three hundred grand. Again, I'm not turning down three

1463
01:20:58,680 --> 01:21:01,320
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars, but I'm also not just getting in

1464
01:21:01,320 --> 01:21:03,080
Speaker 1: the ring for three hundred thousand dollars to get my

1465
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:06,559
Speaker 1: fucking Josh shattered. I would not take three hundred thousand

1466
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:08,439
Speaker 1: dollars to get my Josh shatter. I would say no,

1467
01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:11,519
Speaker 1: it's just not enough money. To me, it's not changing

1468
01:21:11,560 --> 01:21:15,720
Speaker 1: my life. Like to me, Josh shattering would have to

1469
01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:20,360
Speaker 1: be in the millions. So it takes some balls. Like

1470
01:21:20,840 --> 01:21:23,160
Speaker 1: I see so many people talk shit, they wouldn't have

1471
01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:27,200
Speaker 1: the balls to like do anything in their life. Jake

1472
01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:30,439
Speaker 1: Paul one has created this business for nothing, I mean

1473
01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:33,000
Speaker 1: from him and his brother at least you know, back

1474
01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:35,360
Speaker 1: in the early days of YouTube, right became big and

1475
01:21:35,439 --> 01:21:39,160
Speaker 1: he's created this. It takes fucking some stones to get

1476
01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:40,680
Speaker 1: in that ring and fight that guy. I even saw

1477
01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:44,040
Speaker 1: Shady McCoy, who is a big fight guy, was like,

1478
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:46,120
Speaker 1: I can't believe he's actually at the start of the fight,

1479
01:21:46,200 --> 01:21:48,040
Speaker 1: like getting in the ring and going through with this

1480
01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:52,519
Speaker 1: and listen. I didn't know that much about Joshua beside

1481
01:21:52,920 --> 01:21:56,120
Speaker 1: obviously he's talented fighter, big hitter. When he got in there,

1482
01:21:56,240 --> 01:21:59,360
Speaker 1: I was like, this guy is huge. I mean, he

1483
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:02,960
Speaker 1: looked like you look like mister Olympia going up against

1484
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:07,240
Speaker 1: Schwarzenegger back in the day. And it's like, well, he

1485
01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:09,599
Speaker 1: kind of threw the fight. He could have knocked him out.

1486
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:11,760
Speaker 1: I don't care. You want to fight to end in

1487
01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:15,080
Speaker 1: ten seconds? That sucks. So I just feel there's so

1488
01:22:15,160 --> 01:22:19,160
Speaker 1: much negativity when people do stuff that no one else

1489
01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:21,639
Speaker 1: could do, but everyone's like, dam we got ninety million dollars.

1490
01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:24,600
Speaker 1: That's crazy. It's crazy. Isn't that crazy? He just generating

1491
01:22:24,600 --> 01:22:27,240
Speaker 1: what let's just take a guess, twenty million people watching live.

1492
01:22:28,760 --> 01:22:32,240
Speaker 1: Sure as hell it looks sold out to me. I

1493
01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:36,360
Speaker 1: actually have a lot of respect for the guy, uh

1494
01:22:36,640 --> 01:22:38,960
Speaker 1: for doing this and building the business behind it, and

1495
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:42,720
Speaker 1: everyone and their mother's talking shit. You know, well, this

1496
01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:46,240
Speaker 1: guy's getting in the ring, getting his fucking job broken,

1497
01:22:46,720 --> 01:22:51,160
Speaker 1: getting ninety million dollars. So I thoroughly enjoyed it. You

1498
01:22:51,200 --> 01:22:54,080
Speaker 1: know again, I like that type stuff. I remember being

1499
01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:58,200
Speaker 1: in college, like Floyd's fighting De la Joya, Floyd's fighting Pacio,

1500
01:22:58,320 --> 01:23:02,240
Speaker 1: and he's fights sucked. I would much rather like come

1501
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:05,000
Speaker 1: to this and be like, Okay, this is sweet box.

1502
01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:07,040
Speaker 1: He is also like the most corrupt sport by mile

1503
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:11,040
Speaker 1: in the history of this country, not even close. I mean,

1504
01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:14,120
Speaker 1: basketball is in the rearview mirror. It's it's by itself,

1505
01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:17,880
Speaker 1: so yes, shady business. You couldn't do this in other sports, right,

1506
01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:20,680
Speaker 1: So it's it's ripe for this type thing, and he's

1507
01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:23,400
Speaker 1: taking advantage of it. He's made that do ninety million dollars.

1508
01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:26,679
Speaker 1: He didn't even break a sweat. It looked like Jake

1509
01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:30,439
Speaker 1: Paul probably two minutes in. You could tell listen, I

1510
01:23:30,439 --> 01:23:34,479
Speaker 1: don't pretend to be some fight grou here, but he

1511
01:23:34,600 --> 01:23:37,559
Speaker 1: was just dancing around soaked in sweat. Looked like he

1512
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:40,240
Speaker 1: had just come out of the sauna. It's like, listen,

1513
01:23:40,760 --> 01:23:42,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure he trained pretty hard. There's no way he

1514
01:23:42,880 --> 01:23:46,439
Speaker 1: can maintain this Floyd Mayweather dancing around for eight rounds

1515
01:23:46,479 --> 01:23:49,400
Speaker 1: and just avoiding hits. He's in made. He's gonna get gassed.

1516
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:51,880
Speaker 1: That's why he kept hitting the ground. He was exhausted

1517
01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:55,120
Speaker 1: the other guy. I'm not the biggest tennis guy either,

1518
01:23:55,160 --> 01:23:57,280
Speaker 1: but listen, I used to watch Federer, you know, play

1519
01:23:57,360 --> 01:24:01,560
Speaker 1: Djokovic or Nadal. Federer didn't sweat like as someone that

1520
01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:03,760
Speaker 1: sweats a lot. I was always just house fedter or

1521
01:24:03,800 --> 01:24:07,080
Speaker 1: not sweating, I swear to god. Whenever they would kind

1522
01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:08,640
Speaker 1: of zoom in on, Joshua was like, I don't think

1523
01:24:08,680 --> 01:24:13,240
Speaker 1: he's breaking a sweat. Jake Paul was soaked a minute

1524
01:24:13,240 --> 01:24:17,240
Speaker 1: into the fight. I'm like this thing because I think

1525
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:20,760
Speaker 1: he realized, like, I gotta be pretty careful here, and

1526
01:24:20,840 --> 01:24:25,439
Speaker 1: he took that shot and that jaw got shuttered. I'd

1527
01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:27,320
Speaker 1: like to see how many people that were tweeting and

1528
01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:29,920
Speaker 1: just think it's a complete clown show would hop in

1529
01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:32,479
Speaker 1: a ring together. Josh Atter like, I'd do it for

1530
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:35,240
Speaker 1: ninety million. You would. Let's see you put some gloves

1531
01:24:35,280 --> 01:24:38,439
Speaker 1: on hopping the ring with that guy. I mean, I

1532
01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:40,080
Speaker 1: guess I would get in the ring for ninety two

1533
01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:42,519
Speaker 1: million dollars, but it'd be might I might have a

1534
01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:49,480
Speaker 1: heart attack, you know, dancing around before he even hit me.

1535
01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:02,320
Speaker 1: I recently saw a clip of Colin saying, if the

1536
01:25:02,320 --> 01:25:04,439
Speaker 1: Giants end up with the first overall pick, they should

1537
01:25:04,439 --> 01:25:07,479
Speaker 1: trade Dart and take Mendoza. Do you think it would

1538
01:25:07,520 --> 01:25:09,320
Speaker 1: be the right move to roll the dice on another

1539
01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:12,200
Speaker 1: rookie when you have a guy who showed some real

1540
01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:17,360
Speaker 1: upside his first year. Also, what type of compensation could

1541
01:25:17,360 --> 01:25:20,840
Speaker 1: you get for Dart? Would the Rams trade the first

1542
01:25:20,840 --> 01:25:23,320
Speaker 1: for him? Given it would probably be at the end

1543
01:25:23,400 --> 01:25:26,160
Speaker 1: of the first round. As a Giants fan, I'd rather

1544
01:25:26,240 --> 01:25:29,439
Speaker 1: see them trade the first overall pick for a larger hole.

1545
01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:34,120
Speaker 1: I would be pretty stunned, especially because the GM is

1546
01:25:34,120 --> 01:25:38,000
Speaker 1: staying right and I think the gap. Mendoza is a

1547
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:40,760
Speaker 1: really good player, and he's had a great season, but

1548
01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:42,400
Speaker 1: I don't think he's viewed as like, hey, this is

1549
01:25:42,400 --> 01:25:46,880
Speaker 1: the next Peyton Manning or Andrew Luck and Dart, you know,

1550
01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:49,040
Speaker 1: before the organization. And this is what I said when

1551
01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:51,920
Speaker 1: he asked me last night. I do think it's really

1552
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:56,120
Speaker 1: really hard to judge the Giant situation. They're firing coaches

1553
01:25:56,200 --> 01:25:59,479
Speaker 1: left and right places just a disaster. It's kind of

1554
01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:06,120
Speaker 1: become for like a high brow, like upper class kind

1555
01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:09,000
Speaker 1: of feel they've always had. The Giants like they've always

1556
01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:10,920
Speaker 1: kind of felt like the country club, and the Jets

1557
01:26:11,160 --> 01:26:14,760
Speaker 1: have felt like the Muni in golf terms, right, you know,

1558
01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:16,880
Speaker 1: the Giants have always felt like a Mercedes, and the

1559
01:26:16,920 --> 01:26:19,759
Speaker 1: Jets felt kind of more like a beater, a little

1560
01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:23,120
Speaker 1: rough around the edges, you know, you know, a lot

1561
01:26:23,120 --> 01:26:26,240
Speaker 1: of dents in the car, and the Giants kind of

1562
01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:30,200
Speaker 1: lost their way. Man, I would I would not do

1563
01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:35,000
Speaker 1: that now. I also don't get that caught up in

1564
01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:38,519
Speaker 1: like two weeks ago Jackson, Like, I can't even judge

1565
01:26:38,560 --> 01:26:44,240
Speaker 1: what's going on, So I would have no problem rolling

1566
01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:47,600
Speaker 1: the dice. Here's the other thing. If you trade with

1567
01:26:47,680 --> 01:26:51,439
Speaker 1: a team like the Raiders or something Jackson Darkets next year,

1568
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:55,439
Speaker 1: if it doesn't go well, then you just use one

1569
01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:57,920
Speaker 1: of their picks to trade up and get a quarterback. Right,

1570
01:26:57,920 --> 01:26:59,960
Speaker 1: So I think it would give you options. I would

1571
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:03,280
Speaker 1: could try to trade where you get multiple first round

1572
01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:05,320
Speaker 1: picks and second round picks and kind of get to

1573
01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:09,200
Speaker 1: restock a roster that needs to improve. Okay, we'll end

1574
01:27:09,240 --> 01:27:13,320
Speaker 1: on this one question for the next mailback. This was

1575
01:27:13,400 --> 01:27:16,479
Speaker 1: before the game. Do you think the Pats lost to

1576
01:27:16,520 --> 01:27:19,639
Speaker 1: the Bills is getting overblown? I feel like going into

1577
01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:22,160
Speaker 1: the season, if you said we split with the Bills,

1578
01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:25,360
Speaker 1: that would be a big win. Obviously you don't like

1579
01:27:25,479 --> 01:27:28,560
Speaker 1: blowing a fourth quarter lead, but may he's still a

1580
01:27:28,600 --> 01:27:31,519
Speaker 1: young quarterback in the first year with a coach, offensive coordinator,

1581
01:27:32,120 --> 01:27:34,800
Speaker 1: and the team is a work in progress, especially with

1582
01:27:34,840 --> 01:27:39,280
Speaker 1: the defense and another number one wide receiver. I think

1583
01:27:39,320 --> 01:27:42,639
Speaker 1: it was a big deal because you were up twenty

1584
01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:45,360
Speaker 1: one to nothing at home. I think if you just

1585
01:27:45,400 --> 01:27:48,519
Speaker 1: told me you lost thirty to twenty and the Bills

1586
01:27:48,520 --> 01:27:51,080
Speaker 1: were up the whole time, it wouldn't have been that

1587
01:27:51,120 --> 01:27:53,240
Speaker 1: big a deal. And as we saw with the Ravens game,

1588
01:27:53,439 --> 01:27:56,080
Speaker 1: like you guys are a good team. Your quarterback is

1589
01:27:56,160 --> 01:28:01,160
Speaker 1: extremely talented. Kyle Williams is just gives you an explosive

1590
01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:04,400
Speaker 1: deep threat with a great deep ball player thrower, and

1591
01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:08,840
Speaker 1: Diggs is just Listen, some people are paying in the ass,

1592
01:28:09,560 --> 01:28:13,000
Speaker 1: but if they're a winning player, then, like I'm in

1593
01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:15,120
Speaker 1: the NFL, they do not discriminate. Do you know what

1594
01:28:15,160 --> 01:28:17,479
Speaker 1: the bad teams do? They take guys that are paying

1595
01:28:17,479 --> 01:28:20,799
Speaker 1: in the asses that aren't winning players. Google Diggs's resume

1596
01:28:21,240 --> 01:28:23,360
Speaker 1: from the Bills to the Vikings to now with the

1597
01:28:23,400 --> 01:28:26,320
Speaker 1: Pats to the Texas, Like that guy's a part of winners.

1598
01:28:26,920 --> 01:28:31,000
Speaker 1: Like he doesn't play, he contributes to winning and it

1599
01:28:31,040 --> 01:28:33,760
Speaker 1: doesn't even feel like he's you know, I don't know

1600
01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:36,400
Speaker 1: what happened with him and Josh and clear at the

1601
01:28:36,439 --> 01:28:38,360
Speaker 1: end of Minnesota got a little weird, like he could

1602
01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:41,320
Speaker 1: be a lot, but he's a winning player. He's clearly

1603
01:28:41,320 --> 01:28:45,040
Speaker 1: a smart player. He's gonna play like that. You know,

1604
01:28:45,080 --> 01:28:49,240
Speaker 1: if Henderson's healthy to go with Remandre. You know, you guys,

1605
01:28:49,400 --> 01:28:52,280
Speaker 1: your offense is okay, it's just defensively isn't quite good enough.

1606
01:28:52,760 --> 01:28:54,479
Speaker 1: You know, your offensive line's got to get healthy. I

1607
01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:57,400
Speaker 1: saw they asked for Abel. You know, Will Campbell. Was

1608
01:28:57,400 --> 01:28:59,200
Speaker 1: he at the Celtics game and they showed him all

1609
01:28:59,240 --> 01:29:02,760
Speaker 1: on the big screen and he slammed a beer and

1610
01:29:02,840 --> 01:29:05,120
Speaker 1: Vrabel said he's got to fire the strength coach after

1611
01:29:05,120 --> 01:29:09,160
Speaker 1: seeing his chubby ass. That was funny. I mean, Vrabel's

1612
01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:13,000
Speaker 1: a beauty. Isn't kind of crazy that? You know? Vrabel

1613
01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:18,280
Speaker 1: gets fired and the Titans have just unraveled as a

1614
01:29:18,320 --> 01:29:21,200
Speaker 1: franchise and he's out a year and he immediately goes

1615
01:29:21,240 --> 01:29:23,360
Speaker 1: to the Pats and they're competing to be the one

1616
01:29:23,400 --> 01:29:26,200
Speaker 1: seed year one. Now I get their schedules a little easy,

1617
01:29:26,240 --> 01:29:30,360
Speaker 1: but still, I mean, that's that's pretty incredible. So I

1618
01:29:30,479 --> 01:29:32,920
Speaker 1: the AFC is wide open, man, the NFC is wide open.

1619
01:29:33,160 --> 01:29:35,280
Speaker 1: I said it last night. I think it's fair to

1620
01:29:35,320 --> 01:29:39,679
Speaker 1: say of the fourteen teams going into the dance, ten

1621
01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:42,639
Speaker 1: plus could win it. I mean, honestly, in the NFC,

1622
01:29:43,439 --> 01:29:45,840
Speaker 1: if we just assumed the Lion they're not officially done,

1623
01:29:45,880 --> 01:29:48,639
Speaker 1: but they're done. So it's the Packers, the Niners, Seattle,

1624
01:29:48,720 --> 01:29:53,439
Speaker 1: the Rams, of the Eagles, and the Bears. Like the

1625
01:29:53,439 --> 01:29:56,920
Speaker 1: Panthers are the Bucks, they're not winning it. But like

1626
01:29:57,240 --> 01:30:00,760
Speaker 1: the Eagles couldn't beat the Rams, the Bears, I mean

1627
01:30:00,880 --> 01:30:03,200
Speaker 1: they could win these games, just like the Bears. We

1628
01:30:03,240 --> 01:30:05,439
Speaker 1: saw them beat the Eagles. Saw the Rams or the

1629
01:30:05,439 --> 01:30:08,479
Speaker 1: Bears beat the Packers. I think the Packers could beat

1630
01:30:08,520 --> 01:30:12,280
Speaker 1: the Niners or the Niners clearly beat the Seattle in

1631
01:30:12,320 --> 01:30:15,320
Speaker 1: the Rams like no one would shock me if they

1632
01:30:15,360 --> 01:30:17,599
Speaker 1: beat each other. And I would say the same for

1633
01:30:17,640 --> 01:30:21,840
Speaker 1: the AFC. We saw the Jags kill the Broncos. I

1634
01:30:21,840 --> 01:30:23,800
Speaker 1: think if they played ten times. The Broncos are gonna

1635
01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:28,000
Speaker 1: win some games. Chargers could beat anyone on a given game, right.

1636
01:30:28,120 --> 01:30:32,640
Speaker 1: The Texans, if their defense just obliterates people, could beat anybody.

1637
01:30:32,800 --> 01:30:35,559
Speaker 1: The Bills have Josh Allen. They could easily win all

1638
01:30:35,560 --> 01:30:37,680
Speaker 1: three games and represent the AFC, or they gonna get

1639
01:30:37,720 --> 01:30:40,360
Speaker 1: bounce in the first round. I don't think the Steelers

1640
01:30:40,360 --> 01:30:43,160
Speaker 1: could win the AFC, but they definitely can win a game.

1641
01:30:45,720 --> 01:30:48,920
Speaker 1: Who am I missing? I mean, the Jags clearly can

1642
01:30:48,960 --> 01:30:56,040
Speaker 1: win games, so I ten might be too low. Maybe

1643
01:30:56,040 --> 01:30:58,760
Speaker 1: it's more like twelve. I have a hard time seeing

1644
01:30:58,760 --> 01:31:02,679
Speaker 1: the Steelers win three games. You could say the Texans

1645
01:31:02,720 --> 01:31:07,479
Speaker 1: offense still a little unpredictable. Clearly the Panthers are the Bucks,

1646
01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:09,200
Speaker 1: but I think the other six teams could all win

1647
01:31:09,240 --> 01:31:11,960
Speaker 1: the NFC. So maybe the numbers like ten or eleven

1648
01:31:12,640 --> 01:31:16,799
Speaker 1: could win the Super Bowl or could represent their conference

1649
01:31:16,800 --> 01:31:19,719
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. And you're definitely one of those.

1650
01:31:20,840 --> 01:31:23,360
Speaker 1: I don't remember it being this open. I truly don't,

1651
01:31:25,040 --> 01:31:27,720
Speaker 1: which is fun, which makes it kind of unpredictable, which

1652
01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:32,080
Speaker 1: makes it like what's gonna happen? Better buckle up and watch.

1653
01:31:32,080 --> 01:31:34,680
Speaker 1: That's why I keep telling Maria he better come on

1654
01:31:34,720 --> 01:31:39,120
Speaker 1: a Wednesday or a Thursday or Tuesday, not even Monday

1655
01:31:39,120 --> 01:31:41,280
Speaker 1: of the Wildcar weekend because I got Monday night football.

1656
01:31:43,160 --> 01:31:46,320
Speaker 1: If you're listening to me, little buddy, I think the

1657
01:31:46,320 --> 01:31:48,680
Speaker 1: sweet spot would be like Wednesday during the day, so

1658
01:31:48,760 --> 01:31:50,599
Speaker 1: we get night's sleep, We kind of go into labor,

1659
01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:53,800
Speaker 1: come out quick, and then we're home by Friday and

1660
01:31:53,840 --> 01:31:59,599
