1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on? Everybody? What a night

2
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: that was football? The Vikings beat the Bears and the

3
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,479
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons, which I thought was the worst game in

4
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: the history of games to be on prime time, turned

5
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: out to be a pretty riveting last couple of minutes,

6
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: hold On, Hold On for dear life in Las Vegas

7
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: and what looked to be a half empty crowd with

8
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: Mark Davis looking on with his gorgeous girlfriend. That's love

9
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: Mark Davis beautiful young girlfriend watching his team now was

10
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: two and twelve and have a lot of issues. So

11
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: we will try to figure out everything that's going on.

12
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: A lot else that's going on in the NFL as well.

13
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes series leg injury or ankle injury as week

14
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: to week, there's potential of him not just missing Saturday's game,

15
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: but then Christmas game. Why I think one I will

16
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: dive into Wentz, but it could be actually a good

17
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: thing for Netflix to see the power of the NFL.

18
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why. You know, we talk a

19
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: lot about guys like Mike Tomlin and Dan Campbell and

20
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: some of the leaders. Is there a guy in the

21
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: league that doesn't get as much credit that probably should

22
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: When it comes to leadership and adversity. So we'll talk

23
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: about some other football stuff away from just as awesome

24
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: awesome Monday Night. Football Tonight was a night where I

25
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: felt I'm honored to do this for a living. I

26
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: get to watch Caleb Williams get destroyed. I get to

27
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: watch Desmond Ritter and Kirk Cousins corpse. Luckily all you

28
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: did too, because it's the NFL and millions of people

29
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: consume this product even when it's really bad. But before

30
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: we dive into some football, I gotta tell you about

31
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: my friends, my partners, and the official ticketing app. I

32
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: went for a walk with a dog, took my beautiful

33
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: fiance and we're walking. We're taking in some air before

34
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: the game started, and we're trying to figure out we

35
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: need some presents. We are late to the party here.

36
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: We need to take care of some people. What are

37
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: we gonna do? I got the perfect present. I'm sure

38
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: a lot of you guys are in that position. Do

00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,960

Speaker 1: to have something under the tree that's gonna put a

Speaker 1: smile on that loved one's face, be like, oh, thank

55
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: to take a big picture of view twenty thousand feet,

56
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: like one of those drones right now flying over New

57
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: Jersey on what we witnessed tonight. Cause one thing, as

58
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: these games were going on, I'm like, what am I

59
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: going to talk about? The Bears dysfunction, the Raiders quarterback issues,

60
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons honestly being one of the bigger disappointments

61
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And then I realized, do you know

62
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: what was really evident as tonight went on ownership, well

63
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: run franchise and there was one of them playing tonight,

64
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: and that was the Minnesota Vikings, and I was thinking,

65
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: we're all praying and hope Randy Moss gets well. Obviously

66
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: the situation that has played out from like within the

67
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: last month when you know, his eyes were discolored on

68
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: TV and then he had to step away and now

69
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: he's battling cancer. He said he lost it. So we're

70
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: all rooting for Randy, who is one of the most

71
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: electric athletes of my lifetime. And you know, reminds me

72
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: when I fell in love with football in the mid

73
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 1: to late nineties, obviously, when he hit the scene and

74
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: played for the Minnesota Vikings with Chris Carter on really

75
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: good teams. And then the Vikings were good in the

76
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: two thousands, then they were good in the twenty tens.

77
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: Now they're good again. You know why, they're just always

78
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: kind of good. Doesn't mean they're always winning Super Bowls,

79
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: doesn't even mean they're always winning the division, but it

80
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: just feels like they're a well run franchise. Starts at

81
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: the top, starts with ownership, starts with hiring the right people.

82
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: Starts with drafting and developing good players, and then you

83
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: see these other franchises and you go, what the bleep

84
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: is going on? Let's start with the Chicago Bears. They

85
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: are a joke, like they truly are. And I'm not

86
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: trying to beat a dead horse on this, but I

87
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: honestly thought, probably within ten minutes of actual play in

88
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: that game, there wasn't any chance, like literally no chance

89
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings weren't winning that game. I didn't know,

90
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: just like all of you, what the final score would be.

91
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: Would it be thirteen to nothing, would it be forty

92
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: to nothing, would it be twenty to seven. But there

93
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: was zero chance the Bears had were even gonna sniff

94
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: a competitive performance, let alone the ability to win that game.

95
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: And as it played out, it actually got worse and worse.

96
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: Same thing watching the Raiders and the Falcons, You're like,

97
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: what is going on? This is awful? And I think

98
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: when you start with the Bears, and I think these

99
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: other two teams will get to in a second, is

100
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: like they are a franchise that have been owned by

101
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: the same family for one hundred plus years. Right now,

102
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: it's pretty clear Virginia who's one hundred plus years old,

103
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,239
Speaker 1: her son George. They have no clue what they're doing.

104
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: Ryan polls the video shots on Monday Night Football of

105
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: him as Troy and Joe and listen. They're in a

106
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: tough spot. They're not podcasters, they're essentially league partners, so

107
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: they're not gonna shit on the organization act like it's

108
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: not a good job. But when they say it is

109
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: a fantastic job, and Ryan Poles deserves to keep his job,

110
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: like it's easy for them to say, isn't necessarily true?

111
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. Because Ryan Poles drafted a quarterback and

112
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: gave him an offensive line that is beyond atrocious. He

113
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 1: plays in a cold weather city where his big rival,

114
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: the Packers, I know it's a one sided rivalry, plays

115
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: in a place called the frozen Tundra, and drafted a

116
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: wide receiver at nine when they're a countless offensive lineman

117
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: on the board. He is an offensive lineman. He literally

118
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: protected and was Matt Ryan's roommate, who pretty clearly made

119
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons for fifteen plus years. Because you remove him,

120
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: they're a joke. But you look at the Bears, you

121
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: go the only sense of hope you could have as

122
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: a fan, because you know, like we'll never gonna be

123
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings with the mccaskeys. We're never gonna be

124
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers with the mccaskeys. Hell, we're not

125
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: even the Ford family now that they have competent leadership.

126
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: We are screwed. We just have to pray because your

127
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: quarterback looks atrocious, looks completely overmanned. And I said this

128
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: going on. You know, the last couple of weeks, they're

129
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: always down like fifteen and nothing at half time, twenty

130
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: to nothing at half time, sixteen and nothing at half time,

131
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: twenty four to nothing, Like the game's over at halftime

132
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: every single game they play, and then late in the

133
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: game he'll score a bunch of points. It's like, oh

134
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: kay Leb Williams coming on. Nothing mattered. It's like the

135
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: defense is no longer mattered. You're no longer going up

136
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: against the scheme defense. When the game's on the line,

137
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: they're basically calling off the dogs, playing prevent defense. I

138
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: think you got to keep your fingers crossed and hope

139
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: it's like a Jared goff La Rams situation back before

140
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: McVeigh got there, and just go are coaching and are

141
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: people running this football team right now in terms of

142
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: around the players are so incompetent that if we just

143
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,559
Speaker 1: get the right person, which is probably not gonna happen,

144
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: but if we did, look at the rams, they got

145
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: McVeigh and everything changed. Because if you do not, you

146
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: keep saying, well, let's go get Mike Vrabel even Troy,

147
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: like go trade for Kyle Shanahan. Kyle Shanahan would quit

148
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: football before he works for that operation. I promise you that.

149
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: I promise you that, and I also got news for

150
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: you yet listen, like he likes the Brock party types

151
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: a lot more than a guy that holds the ball

152
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: and doesn't see anything. Because right now Caleb Williams is

153
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: seeing ghosts. He's not a very good player at all.

154
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: Now his coaching staff is, I mean an embarrassment. It

155
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: could go down if you look at the aggregate on

156
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: the season starting with Ebra Flues as the worst coaching

157
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: staff in the league. You know, on the on the

158
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: opposite end of the spectrum, you look, you got Kevin O'Connell,

159
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: who's now just noticed the quarterback whisper. You got Brian

160
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: Flores who not very nice in TUA, but undeniable one

161
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: of the best defensive coaches in the league. At home,

162
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: Minnesota I think can go to to toe with any

163
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: team in terms of home field advantage. It looked like

164
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: Penn State white out. That place is going nuts. You're like,

165
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a tough spot for Thomas Brown

166
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: and Caleb Williams, and it was. They were overwhelmed. They

167
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: couldn't move the ball. It was a joke, but like,

168
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: that's what the organization has been. And now you're going

169
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: to this offseason. You know, when they hired Kevin O'Connell,

170
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: Like before that, they had Mike Zimmer. Before that, they've

171
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: had guys like Brian Billick, They've had bread Like, they've

172
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 1: had real guys from real places. And then all of

173
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: a sudden, you put Eberflus and Shane Walder. It's like,

174
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: what did you guys expect to put the quarterback in

175
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: that situation? And I think Minnesota, Green Bay and now

176
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 1: ironically Detroit because they were always like that as well.

177
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: But now they're kind of in that class at least

178
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: for the last couple of years. We'll see if they

179
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: can sustain it over a long period of time. You're

180
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: very lucky that you're in that team's division because you're

181
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: gonna keep beating them. It's like Andy Reid has benefited

182
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: from just having the Raiders around him because most years

183
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: he's getting two victories. Now, Sean Payton, he's gonna benefit

184
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 1: most years, he's gonna get two victories. Jim Harbaugh, he's

185
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: gonna benefit most years he's gonna get two victories. Why

186
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: because the organization has no clue what they're doing. And

187
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: just because you get a sexy player that mel Kiper

188
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: or someone puts high on the big board, none of

189
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: that means a goddamn thing because it doesn't translate into anything.

190
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: But it's the opposite with good teams. Right when the

191
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: vikis get Justin Jefferson, he immediately maximizes his skills. When

192
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: they get Darrisaw, he immediately maximizes the skill. They draft

193
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: Jordan Addison, he immediately maximizes his skills. Harrison Smith, Kendricks Forever,

194
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 1: Denil Hunter, like all the guys they've had over the

195
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: last seven, eight nine years, including the crop of guys

196
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: they have now maximize their skills. Look at Sam Darnold

197
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: comes there, maximizes his skills and he's a very skilled guy. Now,

198
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: big picture for them, I think I'd be pretty concerned.

199
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: Is very difficult to go far because listen, Darnald can

200
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: be a little hit or missing tonight, he's a little

201
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: all over the place. He's missing his star left tackle

202
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: and then his right tackle goes out. How are you

203
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: going anywhere with missing your two tackles, especially when one's

204
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: all Pro Bowl level guy and the other guy's it

205
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: all starter, like, when you play the better teams, you're

206
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: gonna be runn around for your life. Now, Luckily, Sam

207
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: is a good athlete and can move, got an explosive arm,

208
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: can throw on the run. But that is something to

209
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: watch because they clearly are very well coached defense and

210
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: offensively from a you know arsenal standpoint, the weapons they have,

211
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: I mean they got the one of him and Chase

212
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: are the two best receivers. Addison's an incredible number two

213
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: tight ends back and healthy now Aaron Jones a stud

214
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: Donald's a really good player. It's like offensively, if they

215
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: were healthy, they would be a problem. I think they

216
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: could make serious noise in the playoffs. We'll have to

217
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: find out what O'Neill's injury, the right tackles injury is,

218
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 1: But if he's out for foreseeable future. Like I'm sorry,

219
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: I'm just out on their ceiling in the playoffs. But

220
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: like their culture spoke this year because they they lost

221
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: their left tackle a while ago and they haven't skipped

222
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 1: a beat. So that's a well run organization. The Bears

223
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: are the opposite, just like when you look like the

224
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: Falcons are in shambles. Why because their quarterback is shot. Well,

225
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: they just gave the guy one hundred million dollars. Well

226
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: where did he come from? The Vikings who said, no, Moss,

227
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: We're done, We're good, see you later. When I talk

228
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: about there are four teams a night, one team well run,

229
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: the others are a joke. I think the Falcons are

230
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: an embarrassment. I know they're seven and seven. I think

231
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: they stink. I really think they are bad. And part

232
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: of it falls on their shoulders. Of the quarterback, who

233
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: is a sitting duck. He's never been able to move,

234
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: but clearly now after the injury, is I mean, is

235
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 1: just stagnant and tonight and as Orolofsky and Lewis were

236
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: talking about on the broadcast, his confidence is shot. I

237
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: mean he's lost out there, he is swimming, and they

238
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: got bailed out on that call when when the linebacker

239
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: blocks you know, the ball, which was a great defensive

240
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: call by Patrick Graham, the defensive coordinator never had a

241
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: shot with him coming right up the middle, and they

242
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: called it roughing the passer, which is just it's just

243
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: not the right call. You just cannot call that pass.

244
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: But you watch Cousins play like he's just a bad

245
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: player right now, like he's a really bad player. You

246
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: watch Caleb Williams, he's a really bad player right now.

247
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: I can't even judge. I'd be honest. I haven't watched

248
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: that much of the Raiders this year, mainly because they've

249
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: been an unwatchable product. But you can't even I mean,

250
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,719
Speaker 1: they're rolling out Desmond Ritter, who actually you know, had

251
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: some moments tonight, but they probably I mean, we're critical

252
00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: of the quarterback situations in Chicago and Minnesota. The Raiders

253
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: have literally the worst quarterback situation in the league because,

254
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: like will Levis is obviously pretty bad, Brian Callahan, you know,

255
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: inherited him, and they just rolled it out to probably

256
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: tank this year. I mean the three quarterback situation from

257
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: Garter Minshew, who was a backup Aidan O'Connell, who's probably

258
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: a third stringer. And now Ritter who's you know, I

259
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: mean probably a third stringer as well, even if your

260
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: team was loaded. Obviously, Max Crosby has you know, ankle surgery.

261
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: You know, he's their best player by a mile, but

262
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: you got no shot. And that organization like a little

263
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: like Mark Davis when it comes to the Bears, a

264
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: family owned business who's owned the business for what sixty

265
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: seventy years now, Mark, Unlike the Bears landed a new

266
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: stadium and it brought a lot of hooplaw and it

267
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: brought a lot of hype, and they've been really bad

268
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: because they're always changing over. They never have any consistency.

269
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: And rap Sheet reported that, And listen, I've said before

270
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: like Tom Brady should be involved the rap she reports

271
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: like he's going to be heavily involved in picking the quarterback. Well,

272
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: it's like, what's Telesco's job? What if Telesco disagrees with

273
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: his evaluation? You know, in fairness, tom Brady's never evaluated

274
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: a player in the draft, And is Telesco stay? Does

275
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: he get fired? Does Antonio Pierce get fired? Does Tom

276
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: Brady want him gone? In fairness to LESCo. He did

277
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: draft Justin Herbert and was there for a long period

278
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: of time with Philip Rivers. So it's like, is that

279
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: gonna work? Why don't they just name Tom Brady the

280
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: president of operations like John Elway. The problem is he

281
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: can't do that job and call games. So it's like

282
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: Antonio Pierce, who last week Mark Davis basically refused to

283
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: support don't blame him. I wouldn't either, but why did

284
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: you hire him in the first place, because DeVante Adams

285
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: was begging for him? Well, I'm watching today ninety percent

286
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: through the game, it's like the Raiders wide receivers don't

287
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: have a catch in the game. They're like, well, they

288
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: did trade a first round pick a couple of years

289
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: ago four to Adams who's now gone, who just had

290
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: two hundred yards for with Aaron Rodgers. It's like, that's

291
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: just dysfunction after dysfunction, after this functioning. You watched the Falcons, who,

292
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: unlike the mccaskeys and Mark Davis and Al Davis right

293
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: who the families have owned it forever. This guy is

294
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: super rich. He just when you see Arthur Blank, he

295
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: just looks like money, Like that's what money looks like

296
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: when you see Arthur Blank yet, it's pretty clear you

297
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: remove Maddie Ice from that organization. They're no different than

298
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: the Bears or the Raiders. I mean, they got desperate.

299
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: They signed a guy coming off of torn achilles who's

300
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: been a very polaro. It's not like they just signed

301
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning out the neck injury. It's like, well, even

302
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: if it doesn't work, we're still signing Peyton freaking Manning

303
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: or Jason Light. It's like, yeah, Belichick thinks Brady shot,

304
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: but he's still calm, freaking Brady. It's like, hey, he's

305
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, and you watch Kirk Cousins to night, you go,

306
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: I'd want no part of that guy. But your team's

307
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: not that good because you used a first round pick,

308
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: pick number eight, on a quarterback that maybe you're gonna

309
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: need to replace Cousins with. But then Cousins has a

310
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: no trade clause and he makes so much goddamn money, Like,

311
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 1: who's gonna trade for him? It just the organization just

312
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: looks lost. And who's gonna end up winning the South? Oh,

313
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, Well, why is that? Well? They just have

314
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: a well run organization, Like Jason Klight just kind of

315
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: knows what he's doing. And you just watched Tampa play

316
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: and you watch Atlanta play, and they couldn't be any

317
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: more opposite. Now, the one thing good if you're Atlanta

318
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,479
Speaker 1: and I'm a Michael Pennox guy, you just hope he's

319
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: a good player. And I think he's gonna be a

320
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: good player. I'd be excited to watch him play. I

321
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: would make the move right now. Even Oorlaski had a

322
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: good point when it's like, should we throw for it

323
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 1: on third down? That was the play where they called

324
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: roughing the passer. They're like, listen, if you're gonna catch Tampa,

325
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: you need to have confidence at Kirk Cousins. So if

326
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 1: you won't throw it now, you might as well just

327
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: hunt on the playoffs. And I agree, like, if you

328
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: can't trust this guy that you're paying this gave ninety

329
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars guaranteed, you might as well just

330
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: one two three, can't coon now? But you got no

331
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: shot if that's the quarterback player're gonna get. And I'm

332
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: not acting like I know Michael Pennox is ready today.

333
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: Maybe he needed the year, but you got no shot

334
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: with that, none, not with the Way Baker in that

335
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: offense is playing right now. I mean, they just went

336
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: on the road, played the Chargers, who have a good defense,

337
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: and eviscerated them. And Baker might as well be John

338
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: Elway meets Joe Montana compared to Kirk Cousins. But this

339
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: gets back to the organization. It just feels like they

340
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: got no clue what they're doing. Raiders got no clue

341
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: what they're doing. They got no quarterback, their coaches, you know,

342
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: in flux as it always is. And we had one

343
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: team that's just well run. They didn't even play that

344
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: well tonight, and they kicked the shit out of the Bears.

345
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 1: And they're just gonna headed for thirteen or fourteen wins.

346
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: Thirteen or fourteen wins something the Bears, the Falcons and

347
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 1: the Raiders could not dream. Honestly, there's a chance. I

348
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: guess the Falcons still play the Panthers and and I

349
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: think they play maybe the Saints. They have a pretty

350
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: easy schedule coming in and Washington's one of their games.

351
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 1: So let's say they get Let's give them nine wins.

352
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,959
Speaker 1: The Raiders win two games, that would be eleven, the

353
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: Bears win four, that would be fifteen. I was gonna say,

354
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: do all three of those teams win total add up

355
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: to the Vikings, And it probably will at the end

356
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: of the day, but it'll be close, you know. I

357
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: think what's sad on a serious note, is how awesome

358
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: if you're twelve and two you are having a freaking

359
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: incredible season, Like you could go ten years, you could

360
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: win some Super Bowls and just might not have twelve

361
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: and two starts. So what the Vikings and what the

362
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: Lions have accomplished is awesome, But there are some injuries

363
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: you just don't overcome. The Lions have kind of hit

364
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: that point with the amount they have. I do think

365
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: with the Vikings, like if you are out your two

366
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: starting tackles, that is just a position where they're just

367
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: your backups. In the NFL, there is a wide gap,

368
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: like there are just players that you have, like there

369
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: is no replacing that, and then there's a domino effect

370
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: when you lose another position. It's like, listen, you have

371
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: a stud guard like a Zach Martin or something. You

372
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: lose him, that hurts, But then once you lose the

373
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: other guard, then you're mixing and matching with your backups.

374
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: So you're like plugging this hole to plug this hole

375
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: and you're getting leaks. It's just it's impossible to function.

376
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: And it sucks because Kevin O'Connell has done just, I

377
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: mean a badass job coaching this team and it's been really,

378
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 1: really fun to watch, and it's been really cool to

379
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: watch the resurrection of Sam Darnold just seems like a good,

380
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: high character guy with big time skills. I mean, you

381
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: watch him sling that pill around that I and the

382
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: difference of him and Caleb Williams is one guy is

383
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 1: playing confidence. It's not that Kayleb Williams is thrown to

384
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: me and you like Keenan Allen's pretty freaking good. That

385
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: catch he had on the sideline where he went. Chris

386
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: Carter was badass. Rome was a top ten pick. DJ

387
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: Moores one of the highest paid players in the history

388
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: of the Bears organization. And you watch Donald a couple

389
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: of good wide receivers, just looks like a pro bowler.

390
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: He is going to the Pro Bowl this year. That's

391
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: why the conversation just continues to get, you know, pretty

392
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: difficult to have when it comes to his off season. Now,

393
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: I do think the Daniel Jones thing, maybe it's a

394
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: contingency plan. Like, I'm sure they haven't made up their mind,

395
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: but I'd have a hard time letting that go. I

396
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: really would. Now. I think they love JJ McCarthy and

397
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: if his health is looking good, and I would say

398
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: right around free agency that they probably will just let

399
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: Sam Donald go. And I think Sam Donald should be

400
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: very smart because, as we talked about tonight, you go

401
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: to the Raiders, you go to the Falcons, you go

402
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: to teams like the Bears, you lose and your career

403
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 1: becomes ruined really really fast. That quarterback, like, that's what happens.

404
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: And I know Shador and the Sanders family is begging

405
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: to go to the Raiders and listen, it's sad because

406
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,959
Speaker 1: you know the Raiders and the Bears. I mean, these

407
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: are historic brands in the NFL, and they are borderline unwatchable.

408
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: It's weird. I've watched so much Chicago Bears this year

409
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: I might as well. I feel like a Bears fan

410
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: the amount of snaps I've watched them play, and all

411
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 1: their games look the same. They're just so terrible to

412
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: begin the game. Their offense has no rhythm, their quarterback's

413
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: completely overwhelmed. Tonight, they try to run some easy plays,

414
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: get some quick screens the DJ Moore, But they can't

415
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: run the ball because their offensive line is awful. So

416
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: it takes like swift making plays like a Saquon Barkley

417
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: busting runs, making a guy miss, getting outside. But there's

418
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: nothing easy, nothing is it. You watch the Vikings like

419
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: they're just some easy completions, easy yards. You watch it

420
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: land in the Raiders, it's like pulling heat to get

421
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: five yards. Kevin O'Connell can scheme up a fifteen yard

422
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: play with his eyes closed and taking a nap on

423
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: the sideline all through the other three teams like begging,

424
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: begging to be in like second and five. It's crazy.

425
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: The NFL man, I remember saying it when I went

426
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 1: to the combine. It's really Tennish teams competing against everyone else.

427
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: These other teams just have no shot, I mean none.

428
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: No one knows what they're doing. Everyone's worried they're gonna

429
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 1: get fired. There's no stability. Even when people do get jobs,

430
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: they don't know what coaches to hire. Maybe they don't

431
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: even have the jews to hire the coaches because the

432
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: owner doesn't listen to them. It's just it's all fucked up,

433
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: and most of us, right, i'd say all of us listening,

434
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: you know, aren't. I guess we have some people in

435
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: the NFL listening to this, but the ones that I

436
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: know of are all on good teams that you know.

437
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 1: We don't get to go into these organizations, but it's

438
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: pretty clear. You just watch their teams play and you

439
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: just go, yeah, something's really off, like this is not normal.

440
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:05,919

469
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: Okay, let's dive into a little news and notes around

470
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 1: the National Football League. Let's start with the two time

471
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 1: defending almost at National Champs. They say world Champs, but

472
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 1: the sports played in America, so American champs, but Super

473
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: Bowl champs the Chiefs. Patrick Mahomes has a high ankle

474
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 1: sprain and is week to week now in the grand

475
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 1: scheme of things, when you're twelve to one and you

476
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: have a multiple game lead on the Buffalo Bills, who

477
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 1: have a very very easy ending to their schedule, Patriots, Jets, Patriots,

478
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: so I think it's you have to assume they're going

479
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: to run the table. If you're the Chiefs, you just

480
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 1: have to win two of your next three games. The

481
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: main problem is the Chiefs play two games the next

482
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 1: nine days. Obviously, they play on Christmas, which is a Wednesday,

483
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: and they play this Saturday. So I think as we

484
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 1: sit here today, it's fair to assume Mahomes out this weekend,

485
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,719
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz playing. I think there's two angles of this.

486
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: There's a football angle and there's a business angle. And

487
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 1: I think from the football angle, if you were sitting

488
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: down over a play to barbecue with Coach Reid and

489
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: Veech right now, they could give you an educated guess,

490
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: but they wouldn't truly know, just like none of us

491
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 1: truly know what the hell Carson Wentz is gonna look

492
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: like playing for them. He is nowhere near the athlete

493
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: that he once was after some of the injuries. He

494
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: still has a big arm. He started one game in

495
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: the last two years. Obviously, he's been a backup last

496
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: year for the Rams and this year for the Chiefs.

497
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: His start last year came the last game of the

498
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: season when they were playing the Niners, and the Niners

499
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: rested everybody, so it was basically like a preseason game. Now,

500
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: he did throw two touchdowns. He actually made some nice

501
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: throws and then he partlaid that into the backup job

502
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: for Mahomes. But for me to go like he's gonna

503
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,479
Speaker 1: look excellent relative to a backup quarterback, he's gonna look awful,

504
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: like the dude we saw last night, Sam Howe for

505
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks, I don't know. I have no freaking clue.

506
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 1: I would say that this game with Carson Wentz against

507
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,479
Speaker 1: the Texans at home is much more winnable than a

508
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 1: short week on the road at Pittsburgh, who looks like

509
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: they've avoided a injury with TJ. Watt and he's technically

510
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: available Saturday, and I think it's fair to assume that

511
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna play on Wednesday and they got multiple other

512
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 1: pass rushers, and right now, the Chiefs offensive line, especially

513
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 1: on the edges of struggling, well, where do the Pittsburgh

514
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: Steelers light you up edge pressure? So not a great

515
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: matchup to put out Mahomes injured with an ankle. I

516
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: think it's I think, if you're taking an educated guest

517
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: right now, you do not see Mahomes in the next

518
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 1: two games because neither of them are must win right.

519
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: But I think from a business standpoint, it was a

520
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: big deal for the NFL to get into business with Netflix,

521
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: very fucking powerhouse company with a ton of money. And

522
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: when this new deal comes up, they're going to be players.

523
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: And clearly they wanted the Chiefs and the NFL gave

524
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: them the Chiefs for a reason. It's been widely reported

525
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: when it comes to television ratings, they have surpassed the Cowboys. Now,

526
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: part of it is they've been the best team, they

527
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: got the most famous player, they're playing in all the

528
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: big games in the NFL is such a Ohemith cashcow.

529
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: Right now, they're doing enormous ratings, but their games this

530
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: year are out rating Cowboy games, which is obviously a

531
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: big deal. Means you're the king of the castle right now,

532
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: I'd argue, whether Mahomes plays or not, it's not that

533
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: big a deal when it comes to the viewership, And honestly,

534
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: I think it's probably a good thing if he does.

535
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: And I'm talking from the business standpoint of the NFL

536
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: league office and the partners and the ownership in terms

537
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: of what they want to sell it for, and the

538
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: more they sell it for, the more the players benefit

539
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: to because they're in a revenue sharing agreement. Because if

540
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz plays, if me or you played, millions of

541
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: people are going to watch. We cannot say that about

542
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: the other sports. If you put a big baseball game

543
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: on Netflix, or you put a big basketball game on

544
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: Netflix regular season, guess what the streaming numbers would be

545
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: jarring to the company because not that many people would

546
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: stream it. Yet when it comes to football, specifically on

547
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: a holiday, I think it's all almost in terms of

548
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: like rating wise recession proof. I don't think it matters,

549
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: and I think it will be really impressive for the

550
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: people on the Netflix side to be like, wait, sixteen

551
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: million people watch this even though Patrick Mahomes was on

552
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: the sideline and sweats because that's what I and maybe

553
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: I'm lowballing, and maybe it's twenty five million. It's fucking Christmas.

554
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: Literally everyone's at home, and every human being that I

555
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: know has Netflix, So I would expect for the NFL,

556
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: it's not ideal to have your biggest star injured. The

557
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: best part about football, we never worry about load management.

558
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: This isn't baseball where you got to give a guy

559
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: a week off if you miss games, he's clearly hurt. Otherwise,

560
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: guys play injured all the time. Right his ankle he

561
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: got rolled up on. No one's even like, well, maybe

562
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: they're pushing. No, if he was healthy, he would play.

563
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: That's the way football works. You only get seventeen shots

564
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:59,719
Speaker 1: to play games on Sundays, Mondays, Thursdays, maybe some Saturdays

565
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: and Wednesdays, I think. And the Chiefs. The Chiefs played

566
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: on every day of the week this year, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

567
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: The only day they skipped is Tuesday, and I'm pretty

568
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: sure the NFL did not have a game on Tuesday.

569
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: But I do believe that whether whether Mahomes plays or not,

570
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: so many people are gonna watch this freaking game, and

571
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: I think it would be an enlightening experience for Netflix

572
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: to go, Wow, you're telling me the most famous player

573
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:31,479
Speaker 1: in the biggest sport was injured and this many people

574
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: still watched. I think it would ultimately be a good

575
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: thing for the business of football the Lions and we

576
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: talked about this on Sunday night. It was reported today

577
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: that David Montgomery is having knee surgery and he's out

578
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: for the season. And I really feel bad because this season,

579
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: clearly when they were healthy early in the year, I

580
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: mean they were they were a big time squad. I

581
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: mean they kind of had it all. Were they a

582
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: perfect team? No, But I mean they're really only knock

583
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: on offenses. Like, yeah, they'requarterbacks not mobile, but it's like

584
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: on any given game he could throw four or five touchdowns.

585
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: Their running game was elite, Their offensive line was elite.

586
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: They had a deep wide receiver, they had a slot

587
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: wide receiver, they had guys that could run over the middle,

588
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: they had an awesome tight end that they were literally

589
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: a complete offense. And defensively they were vastly improved from

590
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,719
Speaker 1: last year. They doubled down on the secondary. They bought Davis,

591
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: they drafted Arnold from Bama. It's like they did everything

592
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: you could ask. Hutchinson was taking a huge step, and

593
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: now all these guys are injured, and I just think,

594
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: you know, early in the season, I didn't think it

595
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: was hyperbolic to go. I think as the one of

596
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: the better one to two combinations in recent memory, and

597
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: probably one of the better one to two combinations at

598
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: running back I've seen in my life. And part of

599
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: that is compared. You know, you have to put it

600
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: into context of the offensive line they're working with, which

601
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: was easily one of the better ones in the NFL.

602
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: Especially from a run blocking standpoint. It was like you

603
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: could not stop this running game. And I think the

604
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: thing they had as Montgomery was such a physical back.

605
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: He was so good in the red area. Then you

606
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: had this hybrid guy who actually still a very physical runner,

607
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: but he was so good in space, such a great

608
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: cratcher of the football. And to lose Montgomery, to go

609
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: along with losing their stud defensive line McNeil, who's a

610
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: good player, They've lost multiples. It's just it doesn't feel

611
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: over like they're obviously still going to make the playoffs,

612
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: but like, are they going to be able to even

613
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: win the division? And I think this is a good lesson.

614
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: And it showed last year why I was so critical

615
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: of them kicking the field goal. You didn't have the

616
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,239
Speaker 1: Niners on the ropes. You were about to give him

617
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: a Mike Tyson uppercut to the jaw in nineteen eighty nine.

618
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: You kick the field goal, you basically knock them out.

619
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: They would have been in major trouble. But they went

620
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: forward on fourth down and flipped the Niners drive and

621
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: score and it flips the game. And I say the

622
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: same thing about the Niners, like they've had two fourth

623
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: quarter leads in the Super Bowl against Andy Reid Mahomes

624
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,719
Speaker 1: weren't able to close the deal on either. There is

625
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: no guarantee that Shanahan, Purdy and this crew will ever

626
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 1: get to another Super Bowl, let alone if they did

627
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: have a fucking lead in the second half. And you

628
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 1: only get so many opportunities whatever you do in life.

629
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: But when you get massive, big opportunities in whatever profession

630
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,439
Speaker 1: you're in, even quote unquote when you're not ready, because

631
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: most people ask your thought, well, the Lions aren't quite ready.

632
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: You gotta take advantage of them because you never know

633
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,720
Speaker 1: when they're gonna come back. You know what, it turns

634
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: out when the Chiefs had that crazy comeback in twenty

635
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: nineteen to win the Super Bowl against the Niners, it

636
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: felt like, oh, finally Andy got over the hook his

637
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: careers made right. And now you look back, it's like, yeah,

638
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: they're just goind the beginning, right. But now you look

639
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: back at the Niners, You're like, they got a big

640
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: offseason in coming. And now you look back at the

641
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: Lions and you go, it's hard to have a better

642
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: two year stretch than they just had. They were just

643
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 1: in the NFC Championship Game and a couple months ago,

644
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: a couple weeks ago before these injuries really got out

645
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: of control, but like they were locked to be the

646
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: number one seed, and now all of a sudden, we're

647
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: looking like, could they end up the five seed? Now,

648
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: luckily you would get the I was gonna say the

649
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. I'm recording this before the Monday night part

650
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: of the games, but probably Tampa. That's no shoe in win.

651
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: Tampa beat Detroit. I saw Tampa's two wins are against

652
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: two teams that have four total losses, Philly or two

653
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: of their wins right are Philly in Detroit. So when

654
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,919
Speaker 1: you get these opportunities and you are excelling in them.

655
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: You gotta finish the deal. And sometimes you look back

656
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 1: like there was nothing Dan Campbell or the Lions could

657
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: have done to prevent this. These guys are getting injured

658
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: in games and it just feels like a weekly occurrence

659
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: now and they just cannot slow up the bleeding. So

660
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: in a weird way, I feel bad for the Lions

661
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: in terms of this is the way their season is

662
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: kind of going toward the end, because it almost feels unfair.

663
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: But I think you could look back last year and

664
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: go last year was as good of a shot as

665
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: any I mean, you get into the Super Bowl with

666
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 1: the way your team was playing, you're a pretty bad

667
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: matchup for Kansas City. Hell, you'd already beat him that year.

668
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 1: And I saw Dan Campbell say he regretted kicking the

669
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: onside kick, Like, I think he's in a tough position

670
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: right now with his defense. Obviously he wouldn't have kicked

671
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 1: the onside kick if his defense was healthy. Now I

672
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: would imagine too, like the course of the game, he

673
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: probably doesn't give up thirty eight points going into the

674
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: fourth quarter if his defense is healthy. So it's just

675
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: they're just in a tough spot, and there's not much

676
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: you can do about it. One other thing is that

677
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin, you know, gets a lot of credit, and

678
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 1: rightfully so, for being this exceptional leader. And anytime you

679
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: hear Tomlin talk, anytime you see Tomlin in some of

680
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: these NFL film clips, anytime you see Tomlin in Hard

681
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 1: Knocks this, you know, the AFC North Hard Knocks, you

682
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: just see the way some of his troubled players when

683
00:36:56,239 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: they leave Pittsburgh, how their careers unravel Leveon Bell's career

684
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: unraveled when he left Pittsburgh, Antonio Brown, I mean, it

685
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 1: couldn't have gone any worse. They trade Deontay Johnson two

686
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 1: years later, the Ravens are like, I know they didn't

687
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: technically trade him to the Ravens, but indirectly they kind

688
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: of did. And they're like, get out of our building,

689
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: go home, we don't want to look at you. It's

690
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: it's remarkable. Mike Tomlin was made for like the seventies

691
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: when there were no rules and it was like, these

692
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,479
Speaker 1: guys just gotta you kinda gotta corral them, you gotta

693
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 1: let him be. But then once they get in the building,

694
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: you gotta, you know, drive a hard ship. It's like

695
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: he could have thrived in any air. I think we

696
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: don't talk enough about Sean McVay under these circumstances, because

697
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: anyone can have success in sports in life when things

698
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,800
Speaker 1: are going well right, anyone can make money in the

699
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: stock market, win it's like historic highs, like, yeah, welcome

700
00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: to the club. What about when it's twenty percent down

701
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 1: in a year, you're making money, right? What about when

702
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:07,240
Speaker 1: your team's one in four like the Rams were early

703
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: this season? You have injuries everywhere? Does the season just

704
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: get away from you? Does your franchise just unravel and

705
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you're looking up and you're a

706
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 1: five win team at the end of the year and

707
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 1: you're drafting ninth or like, are you looking up and going, yeah,

708
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: we got a pretty pretty good chance to win ten

709
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,760
Speaker 1: eleven games and win the division. That's what the Rams

710
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 1: did last year. They were three and six somehow, when

711
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: the dust settled, they were ten and seven and going

712
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: toe to toe as the seventh seed with the Detroit Lions,

713
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 1: and probably, you know, had a very very good chance

714
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,959
Speaker 1: to win that game. Sean McVay is an unbelievable leader,

715
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:48,399
Speaker 1: and we know what he looks like when times are good, right,

716
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: when his team is stacked loaded top to bottom, like

717
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: he can compete to win a Super Bowl. He can

718
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl. But what about when his team

719
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: is going through a rebuild and he's dependent on young

720
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: guys everywhere and Cup is nowhere near the same player,

721
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 1: and he's got offensive linemen in and out of the lineup.

722
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: How does he do when shit hits the fan? This

723
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: is why I'm glad that he turned down millions upon

724
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 1: millions of dollars for Amazon, because he has an incredible

725
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: life skill and it's to coach football. And I think

726
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: about this a lot with Kyle Shanahan. Like I've seen

727
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 1: Kyle when his team's healthy and it's good, he can

728
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,439
Speaker 1: kick the shit out of most people beside Andy Reid.

729
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: He can win games when he really has to do

730
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: in the playoffs on the road red home. But what

731
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 1: about when the wheels fall off, Like right now, they're

732
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: six to eight and they got three games left the

733
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: Dolphins at Miami, then Detroit and Arizona? Can he win

734
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: one of those games? Can he win all three of them?

735
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: Does he end up going seven to ten? Or like

736
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: do you look up and you go that's the worst

737
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan coach team ever and they're still nine to eight.

738
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: Because I'm seeing it with McVeigh right now, these last

739
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: two years. Easily, if I give them the majority of coaches,

740
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: none of the top guys, you know, like the bottom

741
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 1: fifteen coaches, and I put them in that situation where

742
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: they're one and four or three and six, there is

743
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: zero champs. Any of them make the playoffs. Because it's twofold,

744
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 1: it's you know, I got to keep the team, the

745
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: spirit's high. I gotta keep everyone's head up, but I

746
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: also got to keep everyone focused out, scheme the opponent,

747
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: and have good weeks of practice from a schematic standpoint

748
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 1: on a weekly basis. So it's twofold. It's leaderships. It's

749
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 1: lifting guys up and coaching guys up to get these wins.

750
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: And we have no margin freer, like, we don't need

751
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: a win er two. We gotta go seven and one

752
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: down the stretch, as they did last year after starting

753
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: three and six. This year after one and four, like

754
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 1: you're five games in and you have one win, and

755
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you're looking and you go, god,

756
00:40:56,040 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: we got twelve games left. Can we go I don't

757
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: know ten and two down the stretch. That's essentially what

758
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: he would be doing if he's able to win out

759
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: and win eleven games. So Sean McVay is kind of

760
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 1: putting on a clinic these last two years. Are they

761
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: gonna win the Super Bowl? Probably not? Or they gonna

762
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 1: win a playoff game? Who knows? But I am so impressed.

763
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: I think all eyes I know. For me and a

764
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 1: lot of people in my life, it's like, okay, Kyle,

765
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: because right now, it's not like if they lose out,

766
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:31,839
Speaker 1: they're putting themselves in great position for a draft pick.

767
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: If you're the forty nine ers. I looked yesterday, they

768
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: were drafting fifteenth. They're having the worst season that I

769
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 1: can remember in a long time. Everyone thinks the franchises

770
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: and shambles, and they're drafting fifteenth. So even if they

771
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 1: lose out, there's so many shit teams in the league,

772
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, you're drafting tenth. As all my buddies

773
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: that our college scouts say, this is one of the

774
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 1: worst drafts in recent memory. At the top, there are

775
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 1: a couple high end players, but this is not littered

776
00:41:56,440 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 1: with Jamar Chases and Micah Parsons and those players Pine Souls.

777
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: This is not viewed as a super high the buzz

778
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: I get. There's not going to be that much difference.

779
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 1: Drafting sixteenth is drafting sixth. In some years, that is

780
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: a dramatic, drastic change, not this year. So, like to me, Kyle,

781
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: anything less than winning two of these last three games

782
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: would be pretty embarrassing for the guy football baby. It

783
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: goes by way too fast. Well, one story I saw

784
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: today which would be crazy, and I kind of have

785
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: a theory that now we'll see if this ends up

786
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: coming to fruition. By the time you're listening to this,

787
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,839
Speaker 1: maybe it has, and maybe he's just using this to

788
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,800
Speaker 1: try to get another team to offer him more money.

789
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: Is that Michael Vick is in serious discussions with Sacramento

790
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,399
Speaker 1: State to be their next head coach, and which would

791
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: be beyond shocking. He has no connections there, pretty sure,

792
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 1: he's never really played on the West coast moved to Sacramento,

793
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: which I do think he would like. I mean, it's

794
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 1: a booming city in California, a lot of money behind

795
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 1: the program. They've recently got fifty plus million dollars you know,

796
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: committed over several years for nil. They want to, you know,

797
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,240
Speaker 1: upgrade to like the Mountain West, so to play Division

798
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: one football. I do wonder if a guy like Michael

799
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: Vick and you see some of these players that you

800
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: would be stunned. Like heines Ward right now is a

801
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:26,760
Speaker 1: position coach for Arizona State. If you watched hines Ward play,

802
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 1: he'd be like, yeah, I could see him being a

803
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: coach one day, right. And sometimes you never know. Guys

804
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: that you thought would be coaches don't become coaches, and

805
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,320
Speaker 1: guys that you thought would never become coaches become coaches.

806
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 1: So it's hard when they're playing to truly know. But

807
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 1: I think I wonder if Michael Vick goes looks at

808
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: Deon Sanders and says, man, you can make millions of dollars,

809
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: still be a star, use your stardom to help build

810
00:43:54,640 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: up the program, hire good assistant coaches. He played for

811
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: some pretty good coaches. I mean, spend some time around

812
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,360
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, played for Mike Tomlin. From a motivational standpoint,

813
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: guys loved Michael Vick. He was a good leader. And

814
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: obviously you're not going to make millions of millions of

815
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: dollars at Sacramento State. But if like that is your

816
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: entry point to ultimately get the Colorado job or the

817
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech job, or the Auburn job or whatever in

818
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 1: the future where they do pay a premium. And you know,

819
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 1: at the end of Michael Vick's career, he was a

820
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,720
Speaker 1: backup quarterback, So it's not like he when he retired

821
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: he was making twenty thirty million dollars. You go, wait,

822
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: I could make millions of dollars give back to the

823
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 1: game that made me a star and made me this

824
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 1: all this money and gave me an opportunity. I mean,

825
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: for him in life. When I was around him, it

826
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 1: was a second chance on life. Andy Reid, Jeffrey Lurie, Like,

827
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 1: it was pretty controversial. It was the year before I

828
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 1: got there, But when they first signed him, it was

829
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 1: pretty controversial. At the time. When I got there, it

830
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 1: wasn't a big deal, Like he was just kind of

831
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 1: on the team. By training camp, You're like, are we

832
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,399
Speaker 1: sure this guy Nott better than Kevin And obviously Kevin

833
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:03,760
Speaker 1: Cobb got injured, Michael Vick came in. The rest is history.

834
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: But I think that would be pretty cool, And I

835
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: always think it's cool when these former players get involved,

836
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 1: Like you watch Peyton Manning. I had a buddy, you know,

837
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 1: executive on a team that texts me. He's like, how

838
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 1: cool is it watching Belichick and Peyton mann He's like,

839
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, this guy's a fucking genius sometimes and I

840
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: get it. He's so rich and he's involved in a

841
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: lot of different businesses. But you can't tell me, Like

842
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: if you're Jim Orsay, you wouldn't just look around. It's like,

843
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,240
Speaker 1: should we just fire everybody? And like give Peyton Manning

844
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:32,359
Speaker 1: twenty five million dollars a year and who knows, maybe

845
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 1: Peyton's has so much money now it's not even worth

846
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: it for him to do it. But like the knowledge

847
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 1: he has and his passion love of football, Like you know,

848
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: Tom Brady obviously is involved with the Raiders for financial means,

849
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: like it's a good investment, but he should be involved

850
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 1: in football. You know, I give Tom credit. He feels

851
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: you know, I don't notice him as much watching these games.

852
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 1: I know it's unfair to compare him to Romo or

853
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: these guys. I don't think he's good as like Tony Romo,

854
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 1: but he is definitely a much easier listen as the

855
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,880
Speaker 1: season has gone on, but he deserves to be and

856
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: he should be for us the consumer involved in football.

857
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: And if you're a player, like you would love to

858
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: be part of the team where Peyton Manning or Tom

859
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 1: Brady are there so you can piggyback and ask them

860
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 1: questions and try to gain knowledge from them. I mean,

861
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,800
Speaker 1: I think Peyton Manning and you know you're seeing Philip Rivers.

862
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 1: How cool would it be to be a high school

863
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 1: kid at Philip Rivers School? Can you imagine the knowledge

864
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 1: if you were a wide receiver, a tight end and

865
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, a freaking quarterback and he's given you pointers.

866
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 1: He's like, this is what we used to do against

867
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,840
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. He's like when we would play the Steelers,

868
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: this is how we'd block it. He's like, when we

869
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: were going up against Darrell Reeves, this is how we

870
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: would break this route off. I was like, how cool

871
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 1: was that? So I hope more and more of these

872
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 1: players get involved, because when you play in the league

873
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 1: for a decade plus and play for multiple teams, the

874
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 1: knowledge you gained from different coaches, the things you see,

875
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: the knowledge you gain from watching different players, from film

876
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 1: study to being around them to training with them to

877
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 1: training camps. Deserves to give back to the you know,

878
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: the younger generation, and I think the more and more

879
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: of these guys kind of jumping on this, the better.

880
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 1: It's time for a little Middlecoff mail bag. Very easy

881
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: to get involved. You just fire into my DMS. I

882
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:41,399
Speaker 1: don't know why I just did that. Voice at John

883
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 1: Middlecoff is the Instagram DMS wide open, get your questions

884
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 1: answered here on this little show slash podcast. Uh, let's

885
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 1: start with Zion. Hey, John, Day one listener just heard

886
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: your take on party and the upcoming negotiation and could

887
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 1: not disagree more. You asked who the forty nine ers

888
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 1: would be bidding against and mentioned you don't think he'd

889
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:08,240
Speaker 1: have a strong market if he was available. Perty doesn't

890
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: have a great arm, But if that's his only red flag,

891
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: I can't understand why you think he's not worthy of

892
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 1: the same deals Goff and Dak are signing in terms

893
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: of market. Half the league runs the Shanahan offense. Perty

894
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 1: has elite instincts, is a good decision maker, and has

895
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:29,800
Speaker 1: executed that style on offense so effectively that he's led

896
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 1: a team to two straight conference championship games. I would

897
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: disagree he's led a team to two straight conference championship games.

898
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 1: Two years ago, the defense slash offensive weaponry did his

899
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: rookie year, and two years ago, I would say it

900
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 1: was a pretty complete effort. Defensively, Christian McCaffrey was having

901
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 1: a borderline historic season. He was a key player in

902
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 1: place quarterback, but leading a team. That's what I would

903
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 1: say about Josh Allen. That was not brock Purty last

904
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 1: year when they made the Super Bowl. He got throttled

905
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 1: in Cleveland, he got throttled against the Ravens. He shipped

906
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 1: the bed against Minnesota. And again it sounds like I'm

907
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: being so critical of the guy, and he's a good player.

908
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 1: But when you say he's what was your comment, he's

909
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 1: a good decision maker. We USA on Thursday Night Football.

910
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: He made an awful decision. I think decision making is

911
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 1: somewhat of a question mark. Let me finish your question,

912
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, his style and skill set make it extremely

913
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: valuable to any team that runs the offense. The league

914
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:38,280
Speaker 1: is watching Donald light it up in a similar offense.

915
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 1: Of course, teams would be lined up to sign perty.

916
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 1: Just because he doesn't have an elite arm doesn't mean

917
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:46,240
Speaker 1: teams won't be lined up for services. In my opinion,

918
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 1: his other skills are elite, and he's a winner. Donald

919
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 1: is dramatically more talented. If all things were equal, if

920
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: you told Kyle you could have Donald and Purdy, you're

921
00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: gonna have to pay him both the same. Who would

922
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: you rather have? I think he take Sam dormand Sam

923
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 1: Donald's dramatically more talented. Perty can't throw the ball down

924
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 1: the field. He cannot throw a deep ball, and it's

925
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 1: like pretty evident, which again they've got by when their

926
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: team was fully healthy. But that's not the way the

927
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: NFL is. Your team isn't typically fully healthy. Like Jalen,

928
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: Hurts is not nearly as good at at purty, at

929
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: reading the defense inside of the pocket, that's not his game,

930
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 1: but he is much better throwing the ball down the field.

931
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 1: And like so it's like a push and pull like

932
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,439
Speaker 1: Jalen has flaws two. I don't know why I brought

933
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 1: him up to argue, but I think Jalen would have

934
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:40,319
Speaker 1: had a bigger market if he was just like who,

935
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 1: let's just go over Purdy's market. Party's available someone trading

936
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 1: a first round pick. Would the Raiders trade a first

937
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 1: round pick for him Tom Tellasco. The last decade has

938
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:54,239
Speaker 1: been around Philip Rivers and Justin Herbert, two guys that

939
00:50:54,280 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: are both six foot five. Massive. Doubtful. The New York Giants,

940
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 1: it's pretty struggles in bad weather are gonna are gonna

941
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:07,760
Speaker 1: sign them. The New York Giants who play Washington, Philly

942
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 1: and themselves outside in cold weather, don't see that one.

943
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 1: I just don't see him having a big market. I

944
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:20,320
Speaker 1: really don't. Honestly, Sam Darnold's Market's more like eighty ninety

945
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 1: million dollars probably total. So this notion that I got

946
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 1: to give party two hundred million dollars is fucking insane.

947
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 1: That's just bad business. And the number one way I

948
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:34,800
Speaker 1: think anyone can have a normal conversation when it comes

949
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: to quarterbacks is simply go most of us, maybe some

950
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:40,359
Speaker 1: of you are in the government or whatever, I'd say,

951
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:43,239
Speaker 1: most people listening here have a private sector job. So

952
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: deal with transactions in some form or fashion. Would you

953
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: just go is this? And obviously depending on your industry,

954
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: the numbers are way different. Most human beings, unless you're

955
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 1: on like Wall Street, right, are not dealing with two

956
00:51:57,040 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars for an individual. Very rare. Clearly, I'm

957
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:03,800
Speaker 1: not saying it's very relatable, but you could make the statement,

958
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 1: is this good or bad business? Is giving brock Party

959
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars guaranteed good business? How could anyone

960
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: say that's good business? How could anyone say that it's

961
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 1: simply not? Because we knew it. When Dak signed for

962
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 1: two hundred million, You're like, ah, that seems crazy. We

963
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 1: knew it. When Trevor Lawrence signed for it was like,

964
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 1: that is insane. Tua got less than that, like one

965
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 1: sixty one seventy, and we all thought that was the

966
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 1: most insane contract we've ever seen. Jared Goff's just a

967
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:40,880
Speaker 1: better thrower of the football than perty. Jared Goff was

968
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 1: also the number one overall pick for reason. Pretty gets

969
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 1: a lot of balls. Batter down why he's small again,

970
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 1: I'm just being critical because we're talking huge numbers while

971
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm starting on my team for a million dollars, While

972
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 1: I'm starting on my team for twenty million dollars. Once

973
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,239
Speaker 1: we start getting forty fifty million dollars, I'm sorry, I

974
00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 1: got a fucking pause, Like we gotta have a conversation.

975
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:06,320
Speaker 1: I just think that we got to be careful about

976
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 1: the way this is discussed, because here's another person. I

977
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 1: was listening to you and Colin yesterday and you mentioned

978
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:16,720
Speaker 1: that Purty wouldn't have a market, But you don't think

979
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 1: that this bad quarterback free agent market in the draft

980
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 1: is going to work in his favor. Raiders, Colts, Seattle, Saints, Giants, Jets,

981
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 1: Titans all knee quarterbacks desperately. The Cardinals, Jags are a

982
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 1: few other teams have quarterbacks they would probably trade for

983
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 1: him if they could. Even if you think he's the

984
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 1: fifteenth best quarterback in the league at his worst. That

985
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 1: means there is still a few teams that would sell

986
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:42,879
Speaker 1: their few first borns for stability at the position. Free

987
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 1: agents are Darnold, who unless you have Justin Jefferson, hasn't

988
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:51,439
Speaker 1: looked good Justin Fields, Mac Jones, etc. I think brock

989
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:54,240
Speaker 1: Perty is the leverage, not only because of his accomplishments

990
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 1: versus other quarterbacks who got paid, but because finding better

991
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 1: isn't easy as people think. Plus the roster is old.

992
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:04,399
Speaker 1: I'm not acting like getting rid of party. It's easy

993
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: to find his replacement. I'm just saying, Okay, you're at

994
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 1: a forok in the road kinda not really. He's got

995
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: another year remaining on his contract, so it's like, okay,

996
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 1: we got to entertain everything, right. It's like, here's what

997
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 1: we're offering you, four years, one forty, will guarantee ninety

998
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:24,240
Speaker 1: and if his agent laughs at you, you go, okay,

999
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:28,879
Speaker 1: Like Brandon Ayu entertainer trade, see what you can get

1000
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 1: out there. The Niners like some of the trades. Here's

1001
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 1: an MRI Cooper in a second, the Patriots were offering

1002
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 1: like a second and a third and offering him a

1003
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:38,399
Speaker 1: bunch of money. You were telling me the teams would

1004
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 1: be lined up to give you like a first and

1005
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 1: second round pick and pay rock Party one hundred and

1006
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 1: fifty one hundred and eighty million dollars guaranteed. I think

1007
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 1: that is fucking insane, and I understand desperate. You think

1008
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:56,399
Speaker 1: teams would be willing to trade multiple high picks and

1009
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:59,839
Speaker 1: break him off. You put Micah Parsons on the open market,

1010
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 1: getting two ones into two, and someone's giving him one

1011
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty million dollars guaranteed so fast your fucking

1012
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 1: head would spin. You put brock Purty on the open

1013
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 1: market tomorrow. I'm not saying nobody would want them and

1014
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,799
Speaker 1: people wouldn't inquire. I think you would be stunned what

1015
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:17,360
Speaker 1: the value for him is because again it's twofold. You

1016
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:19,959
Speaker 1: got to trade a man, pay him. So it's like, hey,

1017
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 1: we want at minimum, let's say two ones. You think

1018
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:27,240
Speaker 1: any team in the league, the Tight all those teams

1019
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: you list off, the Raiders, the Titans, all these teams

1020
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 1: are drafting in the top ten, are gonna give you

1021
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 1: one of their top ten picks for brock Party. Honestly,

1022
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:39,439
Speaker 1: do you think that because we're not watching the same league,

1023
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:45,480
Speaker 1: that does not happen? It just doesn't. It's like, yeah,

1024
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 1: he had success with a very successful team. We've seen

1025
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 1: him have a team that had a bunch of injuries

1026
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:55,439
Speaker 1: and it just has not looked remotely close. And again

1027
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:57,760
Speaker 1: it feels like I'm going Nick right or Colin hating

1028
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 1: on the guy. I'm not. I'm just having a real

1029
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:04,360
Speaker 1: conversation because we're talking big boy money. Now, you know

1030
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 1: who the Vikings feel good about, Like what do you need? Justin,

1031
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 1: here's your money, What do you needs? CD, what do

1032
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:12,440
Speaker 1: you need? Bosa? What do you need? TJ? Watt? And

1033
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 1: those conversations get ugly. You think that if I'm the

1034
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 1: forty nine ers brock Party's agent just gets to bend

1035
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:22,279
Speaker 1: me over a barrel and say, fucking shove my head

1036
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:24,880
Speaker 1: in the pillow, and you just you just tell me

1037
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 1: when to I'll just give you the thumbs up to

1038
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:29,880
Speaker 1: keep on going. There is no way they battled it

1039
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:31,879
Speaker 1: out with all these other players who are elite, all

1040
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:36,400
Speaker 1: pros that if they said Nick Bosa, Trent Williams, Deebo Samuel,

1041
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:39,160
Speaker 1: they offered the tenth pick overall three years ago for him,

1042
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:42,440
Speaker 1: the Jets did. I just don't see any of these

1043
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 1: things remotely close happening. I feel like I'm pivoting now

1044
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 1: because it's so crazy like teams, I don't see it.

1045
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 1: I do not see it. I followed this league close enough.

1046
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 1: I'm not saying teams wouldn't be interested, and I'm not

1047
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: saying teams wouldn't give them, like, hey, we'll give you

1048
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:04,920
Speaker 1: our first round pick and give them a hundred million

1049
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:06,839
Speaker 1: dollars forty nine. I want to give them a hundred

1050
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 1: million dollars guaranteed. I do that. But if you, if

1051
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 1: you think and listen, I get where he's coming from.

1052
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:17,920
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, man, down to baby. Trevor Lawrence has

1053
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 1: got two hundred million dollars. Time for me to give

1054
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 1: you two hundred million dollars. Yeah, we're not doing it. Like,

1055
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 1: I don't care. It doesn't matter to me. The market's

1056
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 1: the market, great, we don't view that as your market.

1057
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 1: And here's another thing. Brock Purty currently is making millions

1058
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:36,960
Speaker 1: of dollars off the field, and a lot of people

1059
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:38,720
Speaker 1: will say, well, that has nothing to do with the team.

1060
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 1: Bull Shit, it doesn't because when you're the quarterback like

1061
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott or brock Purty, you're with one of the

1062
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 1: biggest brands in the league. So you make dramatically more

1063
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 1: money when that team is good and you are the

1064
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:55,440
Speaker 1: quarterback because of the brand of the Cowboys or the

1065
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. Now, Dak has never sniffed taking a discount,

1066
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 1: and look what that is currently done to the team.

1067
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 1: They are in shambles. They might have to trade Micah Parsons.

1068
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 1: Brock Purdy is on commercials with John Deere Ariott. Do

1069
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 1: you think he's getting those commercials if he's the starting

1070
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Jags or the Miami Dolphins or some

1071
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:21,919
Speaker 1: of these Franchi the Titans. There's not a chance in hell.

1072
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 1: But he's the forty nine ers quarterback, and he inherited

1073
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:27,600
Speaker 1: a team that was absolutely loaded, and he did a

1074
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 1: really good job and he was the winning player. But

1075
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 1: I also watched him against some of the best defense

1076
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. Aget throttled, throttled, and

1077
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 1: on Thursday night, with the season on the line, to

1078
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 1: make that decision in that spot, even if the Niners

1079
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:48,280
Speaker 1: would have lost to not like you were in field

1080
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 1: goal range, dump it off live, to fight another down,

1081
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 1: to just hand the ball back to the Rams, who

1082
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 1: then never handed it back to you. I just don't

1083
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:58,040
Speaker 1: know how you do forget that moment and listen. As

1084
00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:00,120
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a sucker for elite talent, and he's

1085
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 1: made an exception for brock Party. But like I'm watching

1086
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:06,440
Speaker 1: Jordan Love last night, and I know the Packers lost

1087
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:10,160
Speaker 1: to the forty nine Ers last year. There is under

1088
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 1: no scenario in any world that I, unless brock Purty

1089
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 1: would just make a million dollars in perpetuity, that I

1090
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 1: would take brock Purty on a second contract over Jordan

1091
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 1: Love on a second contract. They are in different universes

1092
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 1: when it comes to talent, because arm strength matters, because

1093
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 1: making explosive plays down the field matters. Why do you

1094
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:33,959
Speaker 1: think Josh Allen is lapping the league right now? Because

1095
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 1: at any moment he can let that thing rip and

1096
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 1: hit a guy in stride thirty forty yards and then

1097
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 1: on some of the shorter throws he can get it

1098
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 1: between tight windows. Everything has to be time perfectly, and

1099
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 1: sometimes he runs around, which is a good quality. But

1100
00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 1: sometimes he doesn't when he doesn't even need to head

1101
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 1: do it. And some of it is like Kyle refuses

1102
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:56,160
Speaker 1: to draft offensive lineman high, so their offensive line slacks

1103
00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 1: a lot of variables. I'm not I feel like I'm

1104
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 1: being a huge, pretty hater. I'm pro perty at like

1105
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:05,240
Speaker 1: twenty five million dollars a year. If you're talking fifty

1106
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 1: million dollars a year, I'm simply out. I am out.

1107
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what to tell you. And

1108
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 1: if he's not gonna take a discount and listen, this

1109
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: is what business is for. That's that's fair to have

1110
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 1: his fans. He thinks he's valuable. We'll find out. I

1111
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 1: don't see how if you own the forty nine ers,

1112
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,120
Speaker 1: you're not having a serious conversation with Kyle like this.

1113
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:27,480
Speaker 1: We can't do I'm not here to meddle Kyle. We

1114
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 1: have let you guys do everything, but I don't think

1115
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:34,720
Speaker 1: this is smart. If anything, let's make him play it out.

1116
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 1: What's gonna do? Sit out the season again? I truly

1117
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:42,120
Speaker 1: believe his market value is nowhere near what the last

1118
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:45,880
Speaker 1: couple dms have said, because one, obviously the forty nine

1119
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 1: ers aren't just give him away. Let's just say, hey,

1120
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:49,440
Speaker 1: two ones, like I said with Ayuku, someone give us

1121
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:52,800
Speaker 1: a first round pick and we'll trade him. No one would.

1122
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 1: No one would give Brandon Ayuk a first round pick.

1123
01:00:57,520 --> 01:00:59,760
Speaker 1: The best offer they had was a second in Amari Cooper,

1124
01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 1: which this was good. And you know what the Niners said, Okay,

1125
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:03,960
Speaker 1: we'll drive you to the airport, and Brand's like, no,

1126
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:08,800
Speaker 1: I'm not going to the Browns, right, you're just telling

1127
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 1: me that the forty let's just say they said a

1128
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 1: one in two twos, a one in two twos. Let's

1129
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 1: just let's just hypothetically say that they would trade Party,

1130
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:22,000
Speaker 1: which why would you give away your quarterback for draft

1131
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,439
Speaker 1: picks when you don't have another quarterback. Let's just say,

1132
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 1: do you think someone would just give them that for

1133
01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 1: Brock Party? But that's not it then you got a PAM.

1134
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 1: I think teams would gladly do it for Micah Parsons.

1135
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 1: Hey brother a little late to this one, but like

1136
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 1: most people said and thought, it's obvious there needed to

1137
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 1: be a reseting in the first round. This college and

1138
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 1: having strict limits of who can have a first round

1139
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:52,000
Speaker 1: by Boise Straight had a great season, but it's not

1140
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 1: like they were killing teams in the Mountain West and

1141
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:56,640
Speaker 1: bring an Oregon loss as a benefit for them doesn't

1142
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:58,800
Speaker 1: mean anything because Oregon looked like shit the first couple

1143
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:01,320
Speaker 1: weeks of the season. I agree. And having years of

1144
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:06,280
Speaker 1: the portal open, now, why the hell is it opening

1145
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 1: before the postseason is over? Like this is why if

1146
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:11,880
Speaker 1: you want Bowl games to still matter and the schedule

1147
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 1: needs to be fixed. If not, then expand the playoff

1148
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 1: to twenty four teams to construct it with the NFL

1149
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:21,240
Speaker 1: and FCS playoff mix. It'd be as well. Love to

1150
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 1: hear more of your thoughts on this. I think it's

1151
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 1: tough because obviously the portal opens and you have some

1152
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 1: of these guys leaving teams that are in the playoffs.

1153
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 1: There was a story I'm recording this Monday, this part

1154
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:37,760
Speaker 1: before the Monday night football games. But I saw yesterday

1155
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:42,280
Speaker 1: that the Penn State backup quarterback who played this year,

1156
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 1: remember I think it was Wisconsin Aler got hurt bo

1157
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to screw up his last name, came

1158
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 1: into the game, helped him win the game, ran around,

1159
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 1: made some plays. Is the backup quarterback for Penn State.

1160
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 1: On Sunday during the NFL games, it was announced he's

1161
01:02:56,200 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 1: going into the transfer portal, and everyone's like, this is insane,

1162
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 1: this is what's wrong with college football. My first response

1163
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 1: was in one and in his statement was essentially like,

1164
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 1: after meeting with my coaches and family, I've come to

1165
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:15,400
Speaker 1: this decision when they say that, do you know what

1166
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 1: he's told? You're not going to be the starter here

1167
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:20,200
Speaker 1: next year. And then it comes out today that Drew

1168
01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:23,960
Speaker 1: Hollur's coming back. Clearly they corralled and I owe money,

1169
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:26,960
Speaker 1: and Drew Aller is going to come back to school. Well,

1170
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 1: if you want to get with Belichick or who you name,

1171
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 1: a team, getting in the transfer portal right now is

1172
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 1: really important. So I don't know an easy fix, but

1173
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:42,400
Speaker 1: it is weird to see guys quitting on their team.

1174
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:43,840
Speaker 1: But this is what this is all. This is this

1175
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:46,880
Speaker 1: is all one big transaction, and once it just becomes

1176
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 1: a transaction, it's easier to remove the emotion. I'm very

1177
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:54,040
Speaker 1: unemotional about this. It's why I can be very pro

1178
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 1: brock party and go the finances here. This is a business.

1179
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:01,760
Speaker 1: This is not fucking fantasy high schoo Sports here don't

1180
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:04,640
Speaker 1: add up. They do not make sense. Just like when

1181
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:06,440
Speaker 1: I see a guy hit the transfer portal on a

1182
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:09,480
Speaker 1: playoff team and you go, well, he's the backup bick. Well, yeah,

1183
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:12,560
Speaker 1: the coach has told him like, hey kid, you're probably

1184
01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 1: not gonna play here next year either. I love it, like, well,

1185
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:18,600
Speaker 1: they had the chance to play, it's a backup. Who cares?

1186
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 1: People get I think one thing doing this for as

1187
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 1: long as I have, I'm just less emotional about some

1188
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:29,360
Speaker 1: of the things that I feel like the fans are

1189
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:33,959
Speaker 1: very emotional about, and transfer portal is definitely one of those.

1190
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 1: You know, I from a business standpoint, I would agree

1191
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:42,000
Speaker 1: that in not many industries can you just come and

1192
01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:45,120
Speaker 1: go as you please, like in the business. They're in

1193
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 1: football or sports. Once you get to professional sports, you

1194
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 1: are usually under contract, right if you have a one

1195
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:53,520
Speaker 1: year contract or a two year contract or a three

1196
01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 1: year contract. It dictates your status, right, I had a

1197
01:04:57,040 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 1: couple of year contract I signed with the volume, Like,

1198
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:02,720
Speaker 1: I can't just pick up and leave if I unless

1199
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:05,800
Speaker 1: I want to just do my own thing. I can't

1200
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 1: just go to another network because they offer me quadruple

1201
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:12,200
Speaker 1: what I'm making or something. That's how most of us work.

1202
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 1: You know, you're under some confines of the contractual structure.

1203
01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 1: Now you could argue contracts are meant to be broken.

1204
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:22,480
Speaker 1: That's where lawyers come in and sure, but like at

1205
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:24,680
Speaker 1: any moment, I can just quit and leave, like I'm

1206
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:27,840
Speaker 1: in agreement. That's there has to be some sort of fix.

1207
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 1: But I also don't freak out when guys just leave.

1208
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:35,040
Speaker 1: And maybe I'm numb to it because coaches have left forever.

1209
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:38,040
Speaker 1: So it's like I just I think the faster you

1210
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:40,880
Speaker 1: just become love the game and love your team, but

1211
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:44,440
Speaker 1: you gotta be kind of unemotional to the player like

1212
01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:48,360
Speaker 1: most of these guys unless they're an all time great

1213
01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 1: player or like some All American. You might just you're

1214
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:53,440
Speaker 1: gonna have a max like two years, but you're not

1215
01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:55,800
Speaker 1: gonna have many players for like five years. Like those

1216
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:58,520
Speaker 1: days are done obviously in the NFL, for the majority

1217
01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:04,200
Speaker 1: of players. They kind of coming up as someone who

1218
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 1: was in the industry. What do you think makes the

1219
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:12,880
Speaker 1: team an RK look worse? Firing male for being incompetent

1220
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:16,760
Speaker 1: after year one, We're keeping him another year and wasting

1221
01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:21,400
Speaker 1: a second season of drook of Drake's rookie deal because

1222
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:25,680
Speaker 1: he's crafts handpicked succession planned. I've never seen a head

1223
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 1: coach so incompetent on the field and at the podium.

1224
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 1: I don't think you can worry about looking stupid. It's

1225
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:38,080
Speaker 1: why I'll defend John moraf He fires everybody again. He

1226
01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:41,560
Speaker 1: clearly does not want to fire everybody. But if every

1227
01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 1: single week your team just gets curb stomped and you

1228
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:48,040
Speaker 1: are honestly, it feels like right now, the Giants have

1229
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 1: been the worst team in the league for the last

1230
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:53,680
Speaker 1: forty five days. I mean they have been really, really bad.

1231
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,680
Speaker 1: I know the Panthers just look shitty, but they have

1232
01:06:56,800 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 1: been played very, very hard. Hell, the Jags are in

1233
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:02,360
Speaker 1: a lot of these games. The Titans, i mean, their

1234
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 1: quarterback is so terrible and their coaching staff had nothing

1235
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 1: to do with Will Levis. The GM threw that on them.

1236
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:13,520
Speaker 1: But I think when you look at the Patriots, like

1237
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:16,600
Speaker 1: you tried to do the right thing. You had this

1238
01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:19,480
Speaker 1: guy who was a team captain, and then Belichick hired

1239
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:21,560
Speaker 1: and everyone liked him, and you're like, we think this

1240
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 1: guy can be the next head coach, and you fall

1241
01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:26,840
Speaker 1: in love with the guy that you knew as a

1242
01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:29,919
Speaker 1: player then as an assistant coach. It kind of gets

1243
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:33,280
Speaker 1: weird once he's named that and it's just been a

1244
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:38,200
Speaker 1: disaster this year. And if you get absolutely mollywopped the

1245
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 1: rest of the season, how could anyone like he made

1246
01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:45,320
Speaker 1: a mistake? Welcome to life, make about five a day.

1247
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 1: Part of the world we live in now. Obviously, there

1248
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:52,480
Speaker 1: are some mistakes that are worse than others, and hiring

1249
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:55,080
Speaker 1: the wrong head coach is a pretty big problem and

1250
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:58,400
Speaker 1: can be a pretty big setback. But I think where

1251
01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 1: it becomes more detrimental to the long term growth of

1252
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:04,320
Speaker 1: a franchise is like when you hold on another year,

1253
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:09,840
Speaker 1: you're like, let's just see this thing play out. Let's

1254
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 1: just see how it goes. You're like, h not sure

1255
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 1: that's a good idea. Would the Chargers have been better

1256
01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:19,160
Speaker 1: off firing Brandon Staley after he lost to the Jags

1257
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:23,160
Speaker 1: on that Saturday night that playoff game instead of running

1258
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 1: it back the following year and having them win five games.

1259
01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:27,599
Speaker 1: Because if you remember, Jim Harball was ready to play

1260
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:30,439
Speaker 1: ball because he was interviewing with Minnesota. He ended up

1261
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:33,920
Speaker 1: not taking the job O'Connell did, but he was ready

1262
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:39,479
Speaker 1: two years ago. I am curious how you can really

1263
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:42,880
Speaker 1: evaluate running backs. In my opinion, it is so incredibly

1264
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:47,240
Speaker 1: dependent on the offensive line and scheme. Any running back

1265
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:50,840
Speaker 1: could thrive in certain situations and fail in others. Keel

1266
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:53,679
Speaker 1: and Peel comedy show used to do some football skips

1267
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:56,439
Speaker 1: and I always wanted them to do one where in

1268
01:08:56,479 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 1: a game, one team had Adrian Peterson in peak physical

1269
01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:03,240
Speaker 1: shape as their running back and the other had a

1270
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:06,479
Speaker 1: seven year old girl. When they do a handoff to

1271
01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:08,840
Speaker 1: the young girl, the seize part and everyone makes a

1272
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:11,439
Speaker 1: great block. The gaps are ten feet wide, and she

1273
01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:14,479
Speaker 1: runs it in for a touchdown. The announcer says, wow,

1274
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:18,439
Speaker 1: she really sees the field. Well, you can tell she

1275
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:20,800
Speaker 1: really has been working hard in the off season. Then

1276
01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:23,160
Speaker 1: the other team gets the ball, hands off to Peterson

1277
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:25,320
Speaker 1: and ten guys immediately in his face and just destroying

1278
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:28,960
Speaker 1: the announcers. He has just been really disappointing this season,

1279
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:39,000
Speaker 1: clearly something going on with him. Well, you can evaluate

1280
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:46,519
Speaker 1: physical skills, right speed, strength, ability to break tackles, contact, balance,

1281
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:48,640
Speaker 1: when you're hit, do you lose your feet, do you

1282
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 1: hang up? How you catch the ball out of the backfield,

1283
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:53,880
Speaker 1: how you pass protect There are skills whether you're on

1284
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:56,520
Speaker 1: a great team or a bad team, you can evaluate immediately.

1285
01:09:57,280 --> 01:09:59,040
Speaker 1: And then regardless of the team, whether you have a

1286
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:01,400
Speaker 1: good offensive line or a offensive line. I can't judge

1287
01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:05,040
Speaker 1: your vision. And like Saquan's had great vision since he

1288
01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:07,439
Speaker 1: was in college, so even when you were watching with

1289
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:10,080
Speaker 1: the Giants, his vision was elite. You know, the Frank

1290
01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:14,280
Speaker 1: Gores of the world, Jonathan Taylor. You know, Saquan has

1291
01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:19,000
Speaker 1: elite speed, But like Jonathan Taylor, Frank Gore is a

1292
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:21,880
Speaker 1: good example because he wasn't super fast. I'm trying to think, guys.

1293
01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:25,440
Speaker 1: You know, I think when you watch, I think Montgomery

1294
01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:29,200
Speaker 1: has a really good vision. Christian McCaffrey. Uh, you know,

1295
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:31,479
Speaker 1: you can watch Alvin Kamara. You can just watch a

1296
01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:34,479
Speaker 1: guy's skills and everyone's skill sets a little different. You know,

1297
01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:40,960
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry doesn't have much ability to He's not super

1298
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:43,680
Speaker 1: fluid in terms of his hit movement, so he's not

1299
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:45,880
Speaker 1: like Shady McCoy. If you're just one on one with

1300
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:49,559
Speaker 1: him in the hole, he's not going to juke you out.

1301
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:53,639
Speaker 1: But he has excellent feet and he's a very patient runner,

1302
01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:56,840
Speaker 1: and then he can get really fast immediately, so if

1303
01:10:56,840 --> 01:10:59,599
Speaker 1: he kind of slows you down, he can use his

1304
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:03,200
Speaker 1: feet to get lateral and get around you. And you know,

1305
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:05,280
Speaker 1: guys like Shady McCoy. I'm trying to think if there's

1306
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:10,360
Speaker 1: a super elusive back in the league right now. You know,

1307
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:14,200
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey's got pretty good jukes. You know, Jacobs is

1308
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:16,040
Speaker 1: kind of like he's got good jukes, but he's also

1309
01:11:16,040 --> 01:11:19,400
Speaker 1: a power back. I think it's pretty easy to evaluate

1310
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:23,720
Speaker 1: running backs. Obviously, their production a lot of time is

1311
01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:27,400
Speaker 1: based on the skill around them, the play caller, the

1312
01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:30,720
Speaker 1: offensive line. But like you can tell immediately when there

1313
01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:33,240
Speaker 1: are backs that are like this guy's made for his

1314
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:36,439
Speaker 1: zone running scheme and they would not be a good

1315
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:39,720
Speaker 1: in some other schemes. Because zone running schemes, a guy

1316
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:42,760
Speaker 1: can be kind of stiff and not be able to

1317
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:46,000
Speaker 1: juke you, but he can be one cut downhill and work,

1318
01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:48,439
Speaker 1: you know, the dude for the forty nine ers. Grendo

1319
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:52,599
Speaker 1: like he doesn't have he's not gonna have a repertoire moves,

1320
01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:56,400
Speaker 1: but he's runs a four to three and he just

1321
01:11:56,600 --> 01:11:58,960
Speaker 1: he can one cut and he gets downhill and he goes.

1322
01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:02,920
Speaker 1: You know, Christian McCaffrey could play in any scheme. Alvin

1323
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:06,240
Speaker 1: Kamara could play in any scheme. I think Josh Jacobs,

1324
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:08,320
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley, like those guys can play in any scheme.

1325
01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 1: I think Josh Jacob's a really good player. Washington State

1326
01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:16,160
Speaker 1: football fan, I'm curious what your thoughts are on so

1327
01:12:16,240 --> 01:12:18,160
Speaker 1: and so as I don't know who this player is.

1328
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:21,479
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I don't think I watched a snap

1329
01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:24,720
Speaker 1: of you guys this year. That's the one thing that

1330
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:27,240
Speaker 1: sucks for Washington State and Oregon State. I feel like

1331
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:29,439
Speaker 1: I used to watch you guys a lot, you know,

1332
01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:33,920
Speaker 1: playing USC playing UCLA, playing Utah, play in Arizona State.

1333
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:40,320
Speaker 1: I didn't watch you guys at all this year. Pains

1334
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:47,320
Speaker 1: me to say that is there any more indefensible or

1335
01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 1: embarrassing move than dropping in football right before you score?

1336
01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 1: I cannot imagine facing my team or coach after giving

1337
01:12:57,320 --> 01:13:00,280
Speaker 1: away a sure touchdown. But this seems to happen once

1338
01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:05,240
Speaker 1: a month between college and pro. How does this keep happening? Listen,

1339
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:11,040
Speaker 1: no one that talks about football unless you're a running

1340
01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:14,720
Speaker 1: back or like a skill guy. It feels like it's

1341
01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:17,439
Speaker 1: mainly happened to running backs and occasionally to wide receivers.

1342
01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:21,599
Speaker 1: It just I don't have what am I even supposed

1343
01:13:21,640 --> 01:13:25,639
Speaker 1: to say? Clearly, after it happened once or twice over

1344
01:13:25,680 --> 01:13:29,680
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, you would think once a

1345
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:32,960
Speaker 1: month minimum. There is like a period in the team

1346
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:36,519
Speaker 1: meeting where or definitely the offensive meeting with the offensive

1347
01:13:36,560 --> 01:13:41,600
Speaker 1: coordinator where we just spend five minutes on highlights. My

1348
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:45,760
Speaker 1: thing would be, you hold the ball, I mean through

1349
01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:47,920
Speaker 1: the end of the end zone. I might have a

1350
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:51,080
Speaker 1: thing like you run through the end zone like I

1351
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:53,759
Speaker 1: want to see you if you can. I mean, obviously

1352
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:57,760
Speaker 1: some plays, it only happens on breakaway plays. It's not

1353
01:13:57,880 --> 01:14:01,040
Speaker 1: typically happening on plays where you're like Hall and asked

1354
01:14:01,080 --> 01:14:03,120
Speaker 1: the pylon trying to beat the guy there. So it

1355
01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:05,880
Speaker 1: happens on plays like Jonathan Taylor where it's it's just

1356
01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 1: him and the end zone. I would have a rule

1357
01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:12,280
Speaker 1: in that situation where it's you versus the end zone.

1358
01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:16,160
Speaker 1: We run through the end zone. If you want to

1359
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:18,160
Speaker 1: do a dance or do anything at the end, fine,

1360
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:22,920
Speaker 1: but we run to the other white, so we run

1361
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:25,120
Speaker 1: an extra ten yards to get little Cardio in. That

1362
01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:27,920
Speaker 1: would be my rule. But I can't even begin to explain,

1363
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:33,000
Speaker 1: like why guys are dropping the ball. Would like to

1364
01:14:33,040 --> 01:14:36,720
Speaker 1: remain anonymous. No problem here, buddy. My question is why

1365
01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:39,559
Speaker 1: does the media always give day ball pass and say

1366
01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:42,560
Speaker 1: he's a good coach when he's never beaten the Cowboys.

1367
01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:45,639
Speaker 1: No matter how bad the roster has been, he should

1368
01:14:45,640 --> 01:14:48,639
Speaker 1: have at least beaten them once. By now, I can't

1369
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:51,040
Speaker 1: even remember the last time a Giant's first Cowboy game

1370
01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:54,639
Speaker 1: was competitive. It took hard Ball a while, but eventually

1371
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:57,920
Speaker 1: kept kicking Ohio states ass. I'm a Chargers fan, and

1372
01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:02,360
Speaker 1: even Staley beat the Chiefs once. I'm telling you, I

1373
01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:06,600
Speaker 1: think it's getting really bad for Dable. I think yesterday

1374
01:15:06,720 --> 01:15:10,040
Speaker 1: was a game where it just I felt ten minutes

1375
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:13,240
Speaker 1: in because like the way the four boxes work, you

1376
01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:18,200
Speaker 1: had the Cowboy game, you had the morning slate was

1377
01:15:18,240 --> 01:15:22,760
Speaker 1: pretty bad, so you had they were like three or

1378
01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:25,160
Speaker 1: four big teams playing, but they were all playing shitty

1379
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:29,480
Speaker 1: teams and one of them obviously was Ravens, the Dolphins,

1380
01:15:29,520 --> 01:15:34,000
Speaker 1: Texans was one game the Jets Jags. I think God,

1381
01:15:34,040 --> 01:15:36,320
Speaker 1: the Morning Slate was rough, but I was like, Okay,

1382
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:39,040
Speaker 1: i'm watching. Maybe New York puts up a decent fight

1383
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:41,160
Speaker 1: for half, and it was like, no, this j Vivers Varsity.

1384
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:44,439
Speaker 1: This is a joke. I mean, Lamar's pants were falling

1385
01:15:44,479 --> 01:15:48,559
Speaker 1: down when he was running around. It was yesterday. Unless

1386
01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:51,000
Speaker 1: obviously the Ravens are better than the Giants. No one

1387
01:15:51,080 --> 01:15:56,760
Speaker 1: disagrees there, But to just get clown like that. Every

1388
01:15:56,760 --> 01:16:00,559
Speaker 1: time I'd look over it felt like Dave, which I

1389
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:02,920
Speaker 1: guess I respect. He's a coach. He's really into the game.

1390
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:06,240
Speaker 1: He's screaming, but it's like, bro, none of this matters.

1391
01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:09,680
Speaker 1: So one thing I do respect about coaches, why I

1392
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:13,720
Speaker 1: could never do it is how can you pretend to

1393
01:16:13,760 --> 01:16:15,920
Speaker 1: be super mad when you're down twenty eight to seven

1394
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:19,120
Speaker 1: and you're playing a team that is so much better

1395
01:16:19,160 --> 01:16:23,040
Speaker 1: than you that they could try with fifty percent effort

1396
01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:25,280
Speaker 1: and they'd still beat you by double digit points. They

1397
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:28,400
Speaker 1: could literally try half, like they could cut their effort

1398
01:16:28,479 --> 01:16:31,240
Speaker 1: in half and you would still get your askickt And

1399
01:16:31,280 --> 01:16:35,120
Speaker 1: you're screaming at officials. You're screaming at players. How can

1400
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:37,240
Speaker 1: you mentally do that? I get if you're a coach

1401
01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:39,559
Speaker 1: and your team's competitive, or you're trying to build like

1402
01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:43,280
Speaker 1: this year three, your team's going backwards, you just got

1403
01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:48,720
Speaker 1: to be a bad frame of mind. Huge fan of

1404
01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:50,320
Speaker 1: the show. Question for the mail bag. I know you

1405
01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:52,599
Speaker 1: don't usually answer questions like this on the mail bag,

1406
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:55,240
Speaker 1: but I'm just curious. I am currently a college student

1407
01:16:55,400 --> 01:16:59,720
Speaker 1: majoring in sports media and journalism. I'm just wondering if

1408
01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:02,919
Speaker 1: you have any advice for people wanting to get into

1409
01:17:02,920 --> 01:17:08,200
Speaker 1: the industry. The mail bag is wide open any question, advice,

1410
01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:13,599
Speaker 1: life observations, football questions. The mail bag is a free

1411
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:17,520
Speaker 1: for all. We do not put any sort of requirement

1412
01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:24,800
Speaker 1: on the mailbag. My advice would be, how would I

1413
01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:28,360
Speaker 1: put this? I don't know exactly what you are trying

1414
01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:32,679
Speaker 1: to focus in. Under that theme of being a media

1415
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:38,320
Speaker 1: member slash journalist, I would say making money writing moving

1416
01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:42,000
Speaker 1: forward is going to be very, very difficult. The money

1417
01:17:42,120 --> 01:17:46,960
Speaker 1: behind the written word diminishes by the day, so to

1418
01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:52,400
Speaker 1: learn how to either talk or YouTube, be on camera,

1419
01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:56,679
Speaker 1: whatever your version of the written word is, where there's

1420
01:17:56,880 --> 01:18:01,519
Speaker 1: financially support behind it. And the great part is I

1421
01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:05,320
Speaker 1: was just driving Maria's mom, she has the same birthday

1422
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:08,439
Speaker 1: as Maria, and came out for the weekend and we

1423
01:18:08,439 --> 01:18:11,360
Speaker 1: were talking. You know, her grandma, well, her mom and

1424
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:13,439
Speaker 1: Maria's grandma is ninety three years old. I was like, God,

1425
01:18:13,479 --> 01:18:17,000
Speaker 1: she's born nineteen thirty. Think how long she's you know,

1426
01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:25,360
Speaker 1: the thing she's seen right, World War two, Vietnam, presidential assassinations, recessions, booms,

1427
01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:28,400
Speaker 1: she in it all nine I mean, there's I mean,

1428
01:18:28,439 --> 01:18:30,519
Speaker 1: her whole life like and they we were just talking,

1429
01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:33,080
Speaker 1: Like she said to her the other day, you know,

1430
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:37,360
Speaker 1: there's driverless cars and Mary her her mother, couldn't believe it.

1431
01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:40,120
Speaker 1: She's like, you know, ninety three, I gotta have her

1432
01:18:40,439 --> 01:18:44,240
Speaker 1: be in a driverless car before she passes away, Like

1433
01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:46,320
Speaker 1: that would be pretty cool. Like think about that, that

1434
01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:49,519
Speaker 1: life span. And I was like, yeah, that is kind

1435
01:18:49,520 --> 01:18:55,040
Speaker 1: of cool. And I started thinking that I don't know

1436
01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:56,920
Speaker 1: why I went what I was where I was going

1437
01:18:56,960 --> 01:19:00,600
Speaker 1: with this one, but oh, you know, things changed so

1438
01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:05,160
Speaker 1: dramatically over time, and I think the hard part moving

1439
01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:06,840
Speaker 1: forward is we don't know where it's going to go.

1440
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:10,559
Speaker 1: Oh this is why. Because she basically started talking about

1441
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:13,719
Speaker 1: how awesome. It was like her childhood and how everyone

1442
01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:17,880
Speaker 1: knew their neighbors and anytime you needed anything, people were

1443
01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:20,720
Speaker 1: there for you. And just society's a lot different now, right,

1444
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:23,479
Speaker 1: you know, Hell, I probably named two of my neighbors'

1445
01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:26,280
Speaker 1: names on my entire streets. It's a little different. Even

1446
01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:28,880
Speaker 1: the way that I grew up, we knew everybody, and

1447
01:19:28,960 --> 01:19:32,240
Speaker 1: everyone's kind of more into themselves, feels really busy all

1448
01:19:32,280 --> 01:19:35,840
Speaker 1: the time. It's just life has changed. And I said,

1449
01:19:35,880 --> 01:19:38,800
Speaker 1: you know, there are pros and cons to every era,

1450
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:42,720
Speaker 1: but like there are a lot of pros to this era. One.

1451
01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:48,679
Speaker 1: I can record a podcast that can dwarf radio from

1452
01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:51,880
Speaker 1: my home office, and if I choose to, I can

1453
01:19:51,920 --> 01:19:54,880
Speaker 1: go rent an area, build a studio, do whatever I want.

1454
01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:59,080
Speaker 1: But I got options, and I don't need to work

1455
01:19:59,080 --> 01:20:02,719
Speaker 1: for someone to do this. And if I wasn't sitting

1456
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:05,639
Speaker 1: here and wanted to get into this, I could create

1457
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:08,280
Speaker 1: my own stuff. I create a YouTube channel, I create

1458
01:20:08,320 --> 01:20:10,840
Speaker 1: a podcast, I create a substack, I create do whatever

1459
01:20:10,840 --> 01:20:13,599
Speaker 1: I want to do, and that's There is money in writing,

1460
01:20:13,720 --> 01:20:16,200
Speaker 1: but if you start a substack, it's very hard to

1461
01:20:16,200 --> 01:20:19,360
Speaker 1: get a following, get people to read what you are writing.

1462
01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:23,479
Speaker 1: So I guess my overall take here is I think

1463
01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:26,640
Speaker 1: it's very easy to see a lot of older journalists

1464
01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:29,040
Speaker 1: be very negative. And this is what I told Jennifer

1465
01:20:29,040 --> 01:20:31,799
Speaker 1: her mom. It's like, you know, I think it's always

1466
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:36,439
Speaker 1: easy to take the negative or pessimistic stance of like, yeah,

1467
01:20:36,479 --> 01:20:39,320
Speaker 1: this today, there's so many things going against us in

1468
01:20:39,320 --> 01:20:42,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. I choose to go there's a lot

1469
01:20:42,920 --> 01:20:45,720
Speaker 1: of shit going for us. And I would say the

1470
01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:49,880
Speaker 1: optimistical or optimistical is not a word the people with

1471
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:54,639
Speaker 1: the optimistic viewpoint of look at all the opportunity here,

1472
01:20:55,080 --> 01:20:57,640
Speaker 1: because you can choose to pass. And I think if

1473
01:20:57,680 --> 01:20:59,760
Speaker 1: you look at a lot of big j's, they'll be

1474
01:20:59,840 --> 01:21:02,439
Speaker 1: very negative about everything. It's like, well, yeah, you got

1475
01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:04,439
Speaker 1: no fucking chance, but that's gonna be your mindset. Good luck,

1476
01:21:04,840 --> 01:21:07,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna get lapped by everyone who is I don't

1477
01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:10,240
Speaker 1: want to say bright eyed and bushy tailed, but just

1478
01:21:10,439 --> 01:21:15,599
Speaker 1: is positive and attacks it. And it's this stuff didn't

1479
01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:18,000
Speaker 1: exist when I was in college. There was no such

1480
01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:21,479
Speaker 1: thing as YouTube. Hell, I don't even remember I never

1481
01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:24,880
Speaker 1: listened to a podcast in college. So you just have

1482
01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:29,599
Speaker 1: so many more options, even if certain things are kind

1483
01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:32,160
Speaker 1: of falling at the way like the newspaper industry dies, okay,

1484
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:35,280
Speaker 1: well then the video industry and the podcast industry, and

1485
01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:37,759
Speaker 1: who knows what's gonna happen in the next three or four years.

1486
01:21:38,240 --> 01:21:40,120
Speaker 1: Whenever I hear people like, what are your goals the

1487
01:21:40,120 --> 01:21:43,559
Speaker 1: next five years? Like, I don't know. Who knows what

1488
01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:46,519
Speaker 1: is gonna be available, what's gonna happen, what the consumer wants.

1489
01:21:46,840 --> 01:21:49,240
Speaker 1: I'll go wherever the consumer is. My goal is just

1490
01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:52,840
Speaker 1: to service them. So if they're somewhere else, then we'll

1491
01:21:52,880 --> 01:21:55,360
Speaker 1: go find them. If they want me over here, then

1492
01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:58,280
Speaker 1: we'll do this. So my goal is just to follow

1493
01:21:58,360 --> 01:22:03,400
Speaker 1: them and ideally have follow me. But like I can't.

1494
01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:07,519
Speaker 1: I'm not some technological wizard to foresee what's gonna happen.

1495
01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:10,240
Speaker 1: But I would say based on you're in college, like

1496
01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:11,720
Speaker 1: you've got a pretty good idea and you should have

1497
01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:14,840
Speaker 1: a pretty big advantage, Like you understand social media, you

1498
01:22:14,920 --> 01:22:18,000
Speaker 1: understand the landscape of how to use all this technology

1499
01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:21,519
Speaker 1: or to have some basic idea use that to your advantage.

1500
01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:25,599
Speaker 1: That's a huge advantage for you is the understanding of

1501
01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:28,519
Speaker 1: technology and just use it into what you do, whether

1502
01:22:28,560 --> 01:22:32,360
Speaker 1: it's reporting, whether you want to be a writer, you

1503
01:22:32,360 --> 01:22:34,880
Speaker 1: know I there are ways to attack. Get on Twitter

1504
01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:39,760
Speaker 1: or get on substack, get on LinkedIn, get on YouTube,

1505
01:22:40,439 --> 01:22:44,040
Speaker 1: and start trying. Shit, you're so young, you have the

1506
01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:47,240
Speaker 1: world ahead of you. Half the things won't work and

1507
01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:50,120
Speaker 1: be complete waste of time. But every time that you

1508
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:54,080
Speaker 1: do it, you'll figure out something along the way. You will,

1509
01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 1: you know, you learn from whatever fails, and maybe the

1510
01:22:57,479 --> 01:22:59,519
Speaker 1: one thing that kind of gains traction, maybe you'll go,

1511
01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:02,120
Speaker 1: I kind of like this, and then you'll quadruple down

1512
01:23:02,120 --> 01:23:04,040
Speaker 1: on it, and maybe it'll lead you to meet some

1513
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:06,120
Speaker 1: guy that will lead you to something you just you

1514
01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:13,479
Speaker 1: never know. I have a random thought, what if instead

1515
01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:16,719
Speaker 1: of having three timeouts each team at six per game.

1516
01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:20,200
Speaker 1: I can't think of any drawbacks, but I'm not putting

1517
01:23:20,240 --> 01:23:24,160
Speaker 1: a lot of thought. I think six. I think there

1518
01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:33,400
Speaker 1: would be a huge emphasis on rolling over minimum four

1519
01:23:33,439 --> 01:23:37,200
Speaker 1: to the second half, Like We're never blowing all three

1520
01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:39,960
Speaker 1: in the first half, because I would always have that

1521
01:23:40,120 --> 01:23:42,160
Speaker 1: extra time out in the second half and ideally we

1522
01:23:42,240 --> 01:23:45,920
Speaker 1: have five, right, but like delay of games and stuff

1523
01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:49,320
Speaker 1: in the first quarter, let it roll. I think that's extreme.

1524
01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:53,320
Speaker 1: I think part of the strategy of the game is

1525
01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:55,960
Speaker 1: to navigate, and part of the coaching of the game

1526
01:23:56,080 --> 01:23:59,280
Speaker 1: is like, not screw these things up, Like, you know,

1527
01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:01,120
Speaker 1: when you get a big how often when you get

1528
01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:03,120
Speaker 1: a big explosive play, whether it's a big run or

1529
01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:05,519
Speaker 1: a big pass play, do you see them in a

1530
01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:09,759
Speaker 1: delay game situation? And then the coach or the quarterback

1531
01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:11,880
Speaker 1: is forced to take a timeout or there's a delay game,

1532
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:16,840
Speaker 1: even though clearly in practice they're emphasizing, hey, explosive play,

1533
01:24:16,920 --> 01:24:18,679
Speaker 1: get down the field, get to the line of scrimmage,

1534
01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:21,439
Speaker 1: We'll get the play in the huddle. Happens all the time.

1535
01:24:21,800 --> 01:24:28,240
Speaker 1: So I I think that would band aid and protect

1536
01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:34,320
Speaker 1: poor strategy and low level coaching. I think you deserve

1537
01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:36,280
Speaker 1: to be exposed when you only have one time out

1538
01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:38,120
Speaker 1: with under five minutes of the game, Like, that's on you.

1539
01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:41,320
Speaker 1: What did you screw up in the third quarter? And

1540
01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:44,599
Speaker 1: why are you blowing these timeouts until you need them

1541
01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:46,080
Speaker 1: at the end of the game. It's why I have

1542
01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:48,679
Speaker 1: less of an issue blowing timeouts. You know the way

1543
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:51,720
Speaker 1: where timeouts disappear at halftime and you get new three

1544
01:24:51,720 --> 01:24:54,240
Speaker 1: timeouts in the second half. If you're gonna get a

1545
01:24:54,240 --> 01:24:56,120
Speaker 1: delay game into the first quarter, I got no problem

1546
01:24:56,200 --> 01:24:59,760
Speaker 1: doing that. But in the second half like, I think

1547
01:24:59,800 --> 01:25:04,240
Speaker 1: way too many teams blow timeouts in the third quarter. Okay,

1548
01:25:04,320 --> 01:25:08,280
Speaker 1: last question, why don't people give the Texans any chance

1549
01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:10,560
Speaker 1: to do well in the playoffs. They lost in a

1550
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:13,559
Speaker 1: set last second field goal to the Packers Lions, and

1551
01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:16,800
Speaker 1: they beat the Bills. They did lose the Titans, but

1552
01:25:16,880 --> 01:25:19,360
Speaker 1: a loss to a divisional rival happens to good teams

1553
01:25:19,360 --> 01:25:22,200
Speaker 1: all the time. The offense definitely hasn't lived up to

1554
01:25:22,240 --> 01:25:24,439
Speaker 1: the hype, but the defense is second to the league in

1555
01:25:24,479 --> 01:25:28,200
Speaker 1: takeaways and has incredible talent all over the field. It

1556
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:30,320
Speaker 1: just seems like people have a lot more faith in

1557
01:25:30,360 --> 01:25:33,439
Speaker 1: the Ravens, Steelers, and Chargers, but the Texans should be

1558
01:25:33,439 --> 01:25:35,880
Speaker 1: in the same boat. Listen, they get they got a

1559
01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:37,560
Speaker 1: corner right now that you don't want to throw to

1560
01:25:38,200 --> 01:25:40,559
Speaker 1: because at any moment he can pick off the ball

1561
01:25:41,080 --> 01:25:43,960
Speaker 1: in Derek Stingley. So they're nine to five. I mean

1562
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:46,559
Speaker 1: they're gonna end up winning eleven games. I would guess

1563
01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:50,600
Speaker 1: the final remaining schedule is at the Chiefs first, the

1564
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:56,920
Speaker 1: Ravens at the Titans. So I think this is a

1565
01:25:56,920 --> 01:25:59,920
Speaker 1: big reason, and it's not all his fault. The offense

1566
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:04,040
Speaker 1: line has been atrocious, but CJ. Stroud's You know, he's

1567
01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:07,080
Speaker 1: got seventeen touchdowns this year. If I would have told

1568
01:26:07,120 --> 01:26:09,719
Speaker 1: you in the middle of December going into like basically

1569
01:26:09,760 --> 01:26:13,439
Speaker 1: the Christmas stretch, that he'd have seventeen touchdowns and nine picks,

1570
01:26:14,479 --> 01:26:17,080
Speaker 1: I think I know I did. I thought he would throw.

1571
01:26:17,520 --> 01:26:20,960
Speaker 1: If you said over under Stroud touchdowns this year, I

1572
01:26:20,960 --> 01:26:23,920
Speaker 1: would have put it like thirty. What do you throw

1573
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:29,320
Speaker 1: last year? Like twenty eight. Obviously the big issue was Stroud.

1574
01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:33,439
Speaker 1: I think it's very difficult for you know, people that

1575
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:38,479
Speaker 1: legitimately fall football and have like a educated opinion. When

1576
01:26:38,520 --> 01:26:43,320
Speaker 1: your offensive line is a major red flag, it becomes

1577
01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:49,080
Speaker 1: very difficult in big games. They've given up forty five sacks.

1578
01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:55,200
Speaker 1: Forty five sacks, I mean they're on pace for let's

1579
01:26:55,200 --> 01:26:58,240
Speaker 1: say they end up with ten more over the last

1580
01:26:58,240 --> 01:27:04,280
Speaker 1: three games, so divided by seventeen. I mean, that's over

1581
01:27:04,360 --> 01:27:09,200
Speaker 1: three sacks a game. That's hard, man, it really is.

1582
01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:15,040
Speaker 1: Mixing has been good for them. You're right. Defensively, they're

1583
01:27:15,080 --> 01:27:19,360
Speaker 1: really physical, they're well coached, they have star corner, they

1584
01:27:19,360 --> 01:27:27,599
Speaker 1: have a feisty defensive line. I mean, they got they

1585
01:27:27,640 --> 01:27:32,080
Speaker 1: got two guys they're gonna be Daniel Hunter is gonna

1586
01:27:32,120 --> 01:27:36,960
Speaker 1: end up with Daniel Hunter fifteen ish sacks. Will Anderson's

1587
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:40,479
Speaker 1: gonna end up with twelve thirteen sacks. So they got

1588
01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:43,640
Speaker 1: two guys that can rush the passer. I feel like,

1589
01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:49,760
Speaker 1: what's his name, Petrie the the uh. I think he's

1590
01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:54,360
Speaker 1: a safety. I love that guy. I just feel like

1591
01:27:54,360 --> 01:28:00,479
Speaker 1: he's fucking crushes people. Stingley is seventeen PBUs and he's

1592
01:28:00,479 --> 01:28:06,519
Speaker 1: got five picks. Bullock has five picks lasted as three picks.

1593
01:28:08,240 --> 01:28:10,599
Speaker 1: Jimmy Ward's got a couple of picks. I mean, they

1594
01:28:10,600 --> 01:28:13,840
Speaker 1: got their their defensive backfields good. And if you got

1595
01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:15,800
Speaker 1: to do good defensive back, like their defense is legit.

1596
01:28:16,920 --> 01:28:19,639
Speaker 1: If you just gave your that defense to the Ravens,

1597
01:28:20,240 --> 01:28:23,240
Speaker 1: like that level of pass defense to the Ravens, like

1598
01:28:23,920 --> 01:28:26,800
Speaker 1: or the Bills, you'd be like lock super Bowl. It's

1599
01:28:26,880 --> 01:28:30,880
Speaker 1: just their offense is struggled, and the offense has mainly

1600
01:28:30,880 --> 01:28:33,360
Speaker 1: struggled because it feels like their guards and center gets

1601
01:28:33,439 --> 01:28:38,560
Speaker 1: smoked and CJ just gets crumbled three plus sacks on

1602
01:28:38,640 --> 01:28:43,360
Speaker 1: average a game. It's pretty rough. Even watching the game

1603
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:48,439
Speaker 1: against who they just played, the Dolphins, I feel like

1604
01:28:48,439 --> 01:28:50,560
Speaker 1: he was getting hit a lot in that game too.

1605
01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:55,479
Speaker 1: I just don't know how often you can play these teams,

1606
01:28:55,560 --> 01:28:59,080
Speaker 1: Like how many times he gets sacked? I got sacked

1607
01:28:59,120 --> 01:29:02,120
Speaker 1: four times in that game, and this is just the

1608
01:29:02,160 --> 01:29:03,880
Speaker 1: basic stats, But you got sacked four times. How many

1609
01:29:03,880 --> 01:29:07,480
Speaker 1: times was he pressured? I feel like he's under duress constantly.

1610
01:29:08,479 --> 01:29:10,839
Speaker 1: Not trying to make excuses for the guy, but holy

1611
01:29:11,040 --> 01:29:13,240
Speaker 1: Molly gets sacked a lot. I mean, CJ's a decent

1612
01:29:13,280 --> 01:29:16,680
Speaker 1: athlete who is a worst athlete, plays an awful offensive line.

1613
01:29:16,800 --> 01:29:20,599
Speaker 1: Was only sacked three times in the game. But yeah, man,

1614
01:29:21,320 --> 01:29:23,800
Speaker 1: Houston's gonna be tough out. I will agree with that.

1615
01:29:24,040 --> 01:29:29,519
Speaker 1: Appreciate everyone listening to talk to you guys. Soon the

1616
01:29:29,640 --> 01:29:30,080
Speaker 1: volume
