16
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: excited to bring a whole new vibe to this podcast.

17
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: We decided to take it live first time ever on YouTube.

18
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: Richard's here to answer your questions. I'm here to moderate.

19
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: So we were excited to get this started, Richard. I

20
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: think when we kick this off, we're gonna let some

21
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: folks jump in here. First off, we want to say

22
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: we appreciate all you guys for joining in every week.

23
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: It's been awesome to build this podcast with you guys.

24
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: We couldn't have done it without you. Richard. We're about

25
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: halfway point through the season right now. There's some big

26
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: surprises that taken place. Let's start right there. What are

27
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: some of the biggest surprises of the year thus far?

28
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 2: In your I guess probably Jacksonville. I'll be him six

29
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: and two. I don't think a lot of people seen

30
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 2: that come in CJ. Strauss having a great year. Texans

31
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: are somehow foreign four. A lot of people expect him

32
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: to be bottom of the barrel, you know, the niners,

33
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: about where you expected him to be maybe one more

34
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: win or so. Kansas City has struggled a bit offensively,

35
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: but I mean it's not outside of that. I mean,

36
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: there's been some surprising wins. Denver beating Kansas City was

37
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 2: a big surprise, But outside of that, I mean, everything

38
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: is kind of gone according to plan for the most part.

39
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: I mean, nobody could have suspected Aaron Rodgers getting hurt.

40
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 2: I guess that's a huge surprise.

41
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, well surprise on top of that is him

42
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: slinging the rock fifty five yards last night on live TV.

43
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: So I know you came off the Achilles injury, Richard.

44
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: I know we talked about this briefly before, But how

45
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: does something like this happen? Because I know it was

46
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: a process for you, and here this guy is walking

47
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: two months after the surgery and heaving a ball fifty five.

48
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: I have no idea. They got to keep acting, Aaron.

49
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: They got to ask elatrosh because I've never heard of

50
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 2: it happening like this. Nobody has. And I'm you know,

51
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: whenever he does get out on the field to play,

52
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: we'll see how he plays and if it holds up,

53
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 2: because you know, that will revolutionize the Achilles healing timeline.

54
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 2: I mean at least for he he and uh Kirk Cousins.

55
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 2: You know, quarterback is different than receiver, you know, corner

56
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 2: and stuff like that.

57
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: We got a user named dirt bag CALLI wants now, Richard,

58
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: what are you? What are your thoughts on this forty

59
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: nine ers cornerback group. I know you got a little

60
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: bit of a personal relationship with Yamador Leonore. What do

61
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: you what do you think about this?

62
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 3: Uh?

63
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: I think out there, I think d moo does a

64
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 2: great job getting his hands on the ball, being sticky

65
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 2: in coverage. So does chart various. I think, you know,

66
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 2: there needs to be more variety in the coverages they play.

67
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: You sitting them in man coverage all day and they've

68
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: been standing up for the most part. But you're gonna

69
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: have off game or two. You're gonna have some penalties.

70
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: That's the that's one of the the downfalls of consistently

71
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: calling man's It's a handsy coverage. You gotta get physical,

72
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: you gotta be in the jersey of your opponent, and

73
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: it leaves the judgment up to the ref. So when

74
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: you're in zone, you're you're you're kind of floating. You

75
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: kinda get eyes on a quarterback. You got a greater

76
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: shot of getting interception. If a ball, if there's pressure

77
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 2: on the quarterback and there's an arrant pass somewhere, you

78
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: got a greater shot of making a play on it.

79
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: But right now, I just don't see them being put

80
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: in great positions consistently.

81
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: Amy Jackson asked the question, what's the bigger problem in

82
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: Seattle Gino or that old line.

83
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: If the majority of the time he has people in

84
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 2: his lap and there's not enough room for him to

85
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 2: stand and deliver accurate passes, then this dolphinsive line. And

86
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: that was the case throughout the majority of the Buffalo

87
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 2: I mean the Baltimore game. That was the case during

88
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: a lot of the plays of the Cincinnati game. He

89
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 2: has guys in his lap. It's hard enough to play

90
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 2: quarterback when you got a clean pocket and the concepts

91
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 2: are right and you you found the right guy. But

92
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: when you got guys consistently in your face, consistently pressuring

93
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: you trying to avoid guys, then it's going to be

94
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 2: almost impossible for anybody to play the position. You got

95
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 2: to change the way you call the game, you know.

96
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 2: So some of it falls on Shane Waldron and his

97
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: concepts they got they gotta change it. You're not getting

98
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 2: a time to run these deep developing concepts. You got

99
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 2: to give him out lets, you gotta give him safety valves,

100
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 2: and he's not getting those right now. So I would

101
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 2: say it's on a lot of people. Some of it

102
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: is on Gino because when he gets clean pocket, he

103
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 2: hasn't been accurate with the football at times, but I'd

104
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 2: say majority of it is the offensive line in the

105
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 2: play calling. You got to change it up well.

106
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: Like we talked about on the podcast, Rich, I felt

107
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: like I was rewatching that Detroit Lions Baltimore game when

108
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: we saw Seattle go to town into Baltimore, because I mean,

109
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: you know better than anyone when you get smacked in

110
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: the mouth in that first quarter, the game plan kind

111
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: of goes out the window. And I know Seattle likes

112
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: to run the football. If you're not give him my

113
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: boy K nine and the ball on a consistent basis,

114
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough to win. Chase says, sure, how

115
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: far away do you think the Seahawks are from being

116
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: that team hashtag lob forever?

117
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 2: I mean, depending on what you mean by that team,

118
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: if you're talking about a super Bowl team, they got

119
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: a little ways to go because you got to be consistent.

120
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: It's about consistency. It's about winning the games you should win,

121
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 2: and about being competitive and being That offensive line has

122
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 2: at times been olid, and then the last couple of

123
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 2: weeks they have not. They've been giving up a lot

124
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 2: of pressure on Gino. You got to stay healthy and

125
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 2: health has been a factor. Defensively, I think they're improving

126
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 2: weekend and week out, but then you have a setback

127
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 2: where you give up almost three hundred yards rushing. I

128
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 2: think the secondary is playing well. I thought they got

129
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 2: better at the D line spot bringing in Leonard Williams.

130
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 2: But I think it takes a lot. It takes a

131
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: lot of consistency. It takes a lot of overcoming adversity

132
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 2: and playing well in big games. And so I'm not

133
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 2: sure they're they're a championship team yet. Until they're running

134
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: the ball more consistent and they're blocking people more consistently,

135
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 2: it's gonna be It's gonna be tough. They got bullied

136
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: in that game, Richard.

137
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: This is a personal question about your playing days. Matt

138
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: loves blueberry pie as suram. Can you spay? Can you

139
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: speak about how playing with the Legion of Boom personally

140
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: elevated your game? And is it true that your combination

141
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: of the five people you surround yourself with the most.

142
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 2: I think everybody made each other, you know. I think

143
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 2: that was a great group of guys who complimented each

144
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 2: other well, who played well together, who worked hard together,

145
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 2: and did a great job supporting one another on and

146
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 2: off the field, and that allowed us to be great

147
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: on the field. We help each other accountable. You know,

148
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 2: there's a lot of things that go into playing great

149
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 2: football that aren't just x's and o's and talent. Is

150
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 2: it true you are the five people you surround yourself with.

151
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: I mean to some degree, you know, because sometimes you're

152
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 2: born in circumstances, you're surrounded by the people you're surrounded by,

153
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 2: and you can overcome your circumstances. You can overcome your

154
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: friend group. But as an adult, I guess to some degree,

155
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: you're the advice that you follow, the morals that you

156
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: stand on, the work that you put in. At the

157
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: end of the day, you are your You got the pen,

158
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 2: and you're writing your own stories. So I don't care

159
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 2: if you're hanging around with five convicts. You know you

160
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 2: could still be a fortune five hundred CEO and you

161
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 2: know it's not going to affect you in that way.

162
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: The decisions you make, the things that you do going

163
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: forward are the things that determine your path. So if

164
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 2: you're a follower and the five people that you're with

165
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: are going in the wrong direction and you're following them

166
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: down the road to disaster. Then, I mean, I guess,

167
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: I guess that could be true.

168
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: So let's stick with the Legion of Boom. What did

169
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: you know the Legion of Boom was going to be historic?

170
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 2: I thought we had the chance. After the Giants game

171
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: my rookie year, We're Brandon returned it like ninety six

172
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: yards ninety seven yards picked six maybe ninety three, And

173
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 2: it just was the chemistry we had, the poise, the

174
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 2: on the field communication, the way things translated from practice

175
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 2: to the game. You know, there wasn't a lot of

176
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: panic in the group, and so I thought we could

177
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 2: have a chance to do something special. We knew what

178
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 2: we did well, we knew what we would have trouble with,

179
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 2: and we stayed out of those positions. So yeah, I

180
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 2: think I think early on twenty eleven. Definitely in twenty twelve.

181

00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,960

210
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 2: to give back to the game and not having to play.

211
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,400

Speaker 2: still be around the game and get to go to games.

223
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: On game day ten years ago, if I were to

224
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: tell you you'd be sitting across the desk from Skip

225
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: Bayless talking shop, what would your feedback be.

226
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 2: Well, naturally, I don't put anything past anything these days.

227
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 2: I'm a kid that came from Watch That with Stanford,

228
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 2: so nothing's out of the out of the realm of possibilities.

229
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: From out of the equation. Joseph ASTs, a Niners fan,

230
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: what do you think the team needs to get one

231
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: step closer to being perfect?

232
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 2: Pressure? Pressure? They need to get pressure, well, they get

233
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: a lot of pressure. They need to get sacks and

234
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 2: he gets sacks. They need to score points, so they

235
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 2: need to offensively protect a quarterback keep pressure off. Brock Party.

236
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 2: Offensive line, defensive line is what this league is determined by.

237
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 3: You.

238
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 2: You got you either have them or you don't. And

239
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 2: if you're not playing well on the defensive line and

240
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 2: or the offensive line, you're gonna have struggles. I think

241
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 2: those are the keys. And when they get those two fixed,

242
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 2: then you know the rest will fall into place.

243
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: Dexter Plays asked what were your thoughts on the Chargers

244
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: defense last night? I mean, is this Chargers team looking

245
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: better or are they just playing the Jets? And Zach

246
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: Wilson a little combo of both.

247
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 2: Little combo both probably, But I mean you got to

248
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 2: give him credit that that was the defense that they

249
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 2: they They played up to their billing of what they

250
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 2: should have been playing the whole time. I mean a

251
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 2: lot of these guys have been hit there. I think

252
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: Brandon Staley, this is the the way people expected his

253
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 2: defense to come when he was brought in as the

254
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 2: head coach, and it's kind of crazy that it just

255
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 2: started to happen. But eight sacks. They were flying around

256
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 2: the football field, they were hitting, They looked confident, they

257
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 2: looked ready to play, they looked prepared, prepared, and they

258
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 2: made plays that were there. So, I you know, Joey

259
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 2: Bosa looked like Bowie Joey Bosa, Khalil mack looked like

260
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 2: Khalil mac Derwin James making plays all over the field. Yeah,

261
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 2: that's what you would have expected when Brandon Staley came

262
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 2: in and all the talent they had, So, I mean,

263
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: they looked really good.

264
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: Well they're gonna get a wake up call next week, Richard.

265
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: They play by Detroit Lyons, so expect expect him to

266
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: take an al. If we got any Chargers fans in

267
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: the chat right now expecting al next week, Richard matt Asks,

268
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: was there anyone you grew up with or played with

269
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: that could have been amazing in the NFL but just

270
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 1: never made it.

271
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's been a lot of guys that I thought

272
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 2: would make it, you know, Marvin Johnson was probably the

273
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 2: best guy on our on our high school team. I

274
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 2: would have thought he ended up going to Oregon and

275
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 2: they just kind of played him out a position and

276
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 2: you know, didn't get a great shot at at showing

277
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 2: his abilities. But I thought he would have a great

278
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 2: shot at it. You know. I thought there's a couple

279
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 2: of Simmonses that went to our school that I thought

280
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 2: would be NFL linebackers who you know, they had older

281
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 2: brothers that were NFL linebackers, who are kind of a

282
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 2: family of NFL linebackers, And things just didn't pan out

283
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 2: that way that I thought. But I mean, everything happens

284
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 2: for a reason. Everything happens as it's supposed to, and

285
00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 2: and this is what it is.

286
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: We haven't seen it yet, Richard. Every week right around

287
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: this time we get to see your power ranks. I

288
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: want to I want to do it live right now, Richard.

289
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: Who's gonna be in your top five the Richard Sherman

290
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: Power Ranks for what are we in Week nine? Week ten?

291
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 2: Now? M h huh, that's a great question. You gotta

292
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 2: go with Philadelphia. They got the best record in the

293
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 2: National Football League. Second, you got to go Baltimore because

294
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 2: they're just playing really great football defenses, playing really well,

295
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 2: thirty five sacks on the season. Then you gotta go

296
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 2: faithful with Kansas City. They are who they've been been

297
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 2: playing really really well. You could you could try to

298
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 2: put other teams in there, but it's gonna be hard

299
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 2: because Cincinnati is playing really good, so I probably have

300
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 2: to put them forth. And then I'm just gonna go

301
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 2: I have to put the Niners there. They didn't they

302
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 2: had an off week, they were in a bye, but

303
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 2: everybody else lost. The Dolphins lost, Dallas lost, so Seattle lost,

304
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 2: so there aren't a lot of the Actually, actually, you

305
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 2: know what, I'm gonna put Jacksonville in there. I'm gonna

306
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 2: give Jacksonville sixty and two. I'm gonna I'm gonna put

307
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 2: them in the fifth spot. There are six and two

308
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 2: and their record says they should be there. So it's

309
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 2: it's what for AFC teams and one NFC team. That's

310
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 2: about it's about right right now.

311
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the most shocking thing to me

312
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: of recent is the Bills fall off. Man, They've they've

313
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: just come down to earth, and if the season ended today,

314
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: they wouldn't even be in the playoffs, which is pretty

315
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: crazy to think about. Oh, here we go. Actually a

316
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: question about the Bills from Marion. Uh, the Bills problem.

317
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: Is the Bill's problem entirely on their offensive coordinator or

318
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: should they just let Josh Allen be Josh Allen.

319
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 2: I think I don't know. I don't know because I

320
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 2: don't know a lot of times what the play calls

321
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 2: for and what he's actually executing because he creates on

322
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 2: so many of these plays. So there's so much of

323
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 2: Josh Allen being Josh Allen. Where he's getting out of

324
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 2: the pocket, he's he's creating more time, more space, he's maneuvering,

325
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 2: he's not just hitting his back foot and letting the

326
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 2: ball go. That we can't tell if it's the coordinator

327
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: or Josh Allen because he's not technically running the plays,

328
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 2: And at times he'll sit there and throw it and

329
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: it looks like the offense runs fine. He'll hit Tefon

330
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 2: Diggs on a few plays, he'll hit He'll hit the

331
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 2: tidy end on a few plays, He'll he'll move the

332
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 2: ball around, he'll hit Cook, they'll run the ball a

333
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 2: little bit. So I think there needs to be more balanced.

334
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: I think everybody always says that it needs to be

335
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 2: more balanced, but I think this is Josh Allen being

336
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 2: Josh Allen. I think it's just not being good enough

337
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 2: right now. And I think Brian day Bowl and his

338
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 2: impact is starting to you know, people are starting to

339
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 2: see that he had a much bigger impact than people

340
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 2: gave him credit.

341
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: Well, Brian Dabole probably wishes he's back in Buffalo after

342
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: seeing who's quarterback in his New York Giants right now.

343
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: But that's a story for another time. Richard, I think

344
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: I know they answer to this question, and it might

345
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: surprise some of our audience. Low key, who is the

346
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: most difficult and challenging wide receiver you ever covered?

347
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 2: With Stevie Johnson? It was young Stevie Johnson when he

348
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 2: was in Buffalo. You know, I got another chance to

349
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 2: go against him when he's in San Francisco, but he

350
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 2: was past his prime and you know, I had two

351
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 2: interceptions on the game. It wasn't much, but when he

352
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 2: was in Buffalo, he was an issue. And you know

353
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 2: it's just unorthodox movement was what is his biggest thing?

354
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 2: Wasn't the vastest, wasn't the biggest or anything like that,

355
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 2: But he was unorthodox.

356
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: Richard, let's switch to the basketball court. I know you're

357
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: a huge Laker fan, Lebron. You're twenty one now, right.

358
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: What are your expectations for this Lakers team? Does Bron

359
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: have one more in him?

360
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 2: Well, the expectations in Lakerland is always championship, Mitchell, after

361
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: you get seventeen of them, you always just won eighteen,

362
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 2: and so that's the expectation going into this year, Lebron,

363
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis, you expect championship regardless. Even last year when

364
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 2: we were the what was it tenth seed or ninth seed,

365
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 2: and people still expect championship. And they made it all

366
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 2: the way to the conference championship and then got swept

367
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 2: by the Denver Nuggets. But the expectation is always that regardless.

368
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: Well, John ass ed sum is CJ. Stroud legit? I

369
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 1: think I can answer that four for you. Yeah, he's legit.

370
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 1: But Richard, I'll let you chime in on that.

371
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's legit. He's making the game look easy. His passes,

372
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,239
Speaker 2: his setup, his reads makes it all look easy. He

373
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 2: executes at a really high level. He has coaches that

374
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 2: believe in him. Offensive coordinator and Bobby Slowick that's putting

375
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 2: him in great spots and and and really escentuating his

376
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 2: strengths and and and minimizing his weaknesses. And it's a

377
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 2: it's a match made in heaven. He's he's elevating his teammates,

378
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 2: Nico Collins, Noah Brown, Tank Dale. Uh. He's making these

379
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 2: guys into really good NFL receivers. They're making them look good.

380
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 2: They're catching his passes, and it's it's really cool.

381
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: See here's a here's a softball one for you, Richard.

382
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: Give me your offensive player of the Year and the

383
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: defensive player of the year the season word end today.

384
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 2: Uh. Offensive player of the year right now, I mean

385
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 2: I probably have to be Tyreek. Tyreek is having a

386
00:18:53,720 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 2: great year offensively, He's he's been productive, record breaking uh.

387
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 2: And then defense player of the Year. There's a couple

388
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 2: of guys that are in it right now. I would

389
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 2: say Max's between Max Crosby and t J. Watt. Miles

390
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 2: Garrett also has a case. So between those three, I'd

391
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 2: have to go t J. Watt. I mean, we just

392
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 2: watched him recently live, so it's hard to pass him up.

393
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: The last question, we'll go with this from Joseph. This

394
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: is do Kyrie and Luca have a chance this year,

395
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: or do you do they need more time to develop.

396
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 2: I don't know. There's rarely a time where you've seen

397
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 2: just two ball dominate guards win a championship. We've seen

398
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 2: two guards win a championship, but it's it was Steph

399
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 2: and Clay and they had Draymond, you know, So there's

400
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 2: always that third guy, and I'm just not sure they

401
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 2: have the third guy they need to really win a championship,

402
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 2: especially in that West where Steph and Clay and Draymond are,

403
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 2: where Murray and and Uh and Joker are, where Kad

404
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 2: Booker and and and now Bradley Beal is it's gonna

405
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 2: be really tough. And then you just talked about the

406
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 2: Clippers getting James Harden, Westbrook, Kawhi, Paul George. So no,

407
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 2: I think I don't know if it's about their development

408
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 2: as much as it's about the competition out west.

409
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: Well, Richard, that concludes that, I appreciate you guys all
