1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? Did we really

2
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: just witness that the Chicago Bears in one of the

3
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: crazier comebacks I would say off their season, because they've

4
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: had some, but definitely the craziest comeback down sixteen to

5
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: six with five minutes left in the game, get an

6
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: onside kick, and Caleb Williams is you know, I would say,

7
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: doing some work to establish one day I might have

8
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 1: a statue in front of the stadium because that was

9
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: a pretty iconic moment for a legendary franchise. And we'll

10
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: dive all into the game before we talk any football.

11
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: Subscribe to the page. I like the video, leave a comment,

12
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: interact with the people start screaming down there with each other.

13
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: Go middle God, why are you going to Netflix? But

14
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: tonight is about Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears. Appreciate

15
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: everyone watching. We will be live again tomorrow, have the

16
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: podcast with Colin as well, then live again Monday night

17
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: for the forty nine ers and Indianapolis well phillip Rivers

18
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: on Monday Night. So we got a lot going on

19
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: coming up here in the near future. But tonight's really

20
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: all about Kayleb Williams and the Chicago Bears, and listen,

21
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: I mean I talk about this sometimes you gotta be

22
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: really careful about writing your script. I don't script podcasts.

23
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: Obviously you could just see me talking into the camera,

24
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: but the topics and the headlines and the things that

25
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: you're fired up about. And once they got that onside kick,

26
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: it obviously ruined everything. And you know, they were down

27
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: sixteen to six with five minutes left to go. And

28
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: if you would have told me that earlier today, before

29
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: the game kicked off and before we even talk any football.

30
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: A lot of props to Chicago. I don't usually get

31
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: like this. I definitely do sometimes on Saturdays throughout the

32
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 1: fall when you turn on a game and you go,

33
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: that looks pretty cool. That looks like a place that

34
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: I would want to be at. That looks like an

35
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: incredible experience for everyone sitting in that stadium. And because

36
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: the Bears really since like the Erlacker Briggs days, and

37
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: maybe in twenty ten was their last really really good

38
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: season when they were in the NFC Championship game. Ironically

39
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: they lost to that Aaron Rodgers Packer team that went

40
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: on to win the Super Bowl. We haven't seen them

41
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: in that many enormous games late in the season at home,

42
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: and when that game started, it felt like Lsubama, it

43
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: felt like Ohio State, Michigan. It felt really big and

44
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: really important. And Chicago obviously is one of our great

45
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: sports towns in America, and I've never, you know, live

46
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: there or anything, but now living in Arizona, some of

47
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: my neighbors you know, are from there, and it is

48
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: a bear city. And that that place being alive was

49
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: freaking awesome. I mean, it was alive all early in

50
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: the game, and then obviously when they got that on

51
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: side kick and that place was just rocking. But even

52
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,679
Speaker 1: throughout the game, when and at one point time they're

53
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: down ten points in a windy game, You're like, this

54
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: is gonna be impossible. They're just gonna lose. Caleb was

55
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: playing pretty well. Like if you would have told me

56
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: that they were down ten plus points, they only had

57
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: six points with five minutes to go in the game,

58
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: I bet Caleb didn't play well. If anything, I thought

59
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: Jeff Halfley was doing a really good job of just

60
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: corralling him. He throughout the game hadn't made plays, scrambling

61
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: around doing what he has done all season, and he

62
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: didn't get that many opportunities because I looked in the

63
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, the Bears had twenty less plays. The time

64
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: of possession skewed heavily to the Packers. Green Bay ran

65
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: the ball to Night forty four times for one hundred

66
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: and ninety two yards. It's not like he was two

67
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: of twenty five. He just didn't get that many plays,

68
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: didn't get that many pass attempts. But they get the

69
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: on side kick and he just turned into Superman. A

70
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: couple of big runs, a nice row to DJ Moore,

71
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: and then once they got down to the goal line again,

72
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,559
Speaker 1: Halfley's elite. Like I came away from that game thinking,

73
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: Jeff Hafley is awesome. He's his timely blitzes and they

74
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: were getting home. They did a really good job of

75
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: not letting Caleb just like scramble around every time he

76
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: would turn there and be a guy there. Clearly the

77
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: coaching points on the you know, keeping the lanes because

78
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: Caleb is so dangerous when he's scrambling around. And when

79
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: they called that blitz on that game tying touchdown pass, Caleb,

80
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: you know, when it left his hands because the previous

81
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: two passes had been air mails. I assume like Oh

82
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: my god, did he just miss him? Because all of

83
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: a sudden, you look and this guy, I'll be honest,

84
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about His name is John day Walker,

85
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: the undrafted free agent. Don't remember his college career, that

86
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: that's for sure. But when he left his hands, I'm like,

87
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: I think he missed him. And it was, honestly like

88
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: if there had been a defender in front of him,

89
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: if the Packers hadn't screwed up, it would have been

90
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: like Joe Montana to Dwight Clark. It was a dime

91
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: obviously in a great catch. It was just like the

92
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: perfect play, and you went, what a moment for the

93
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: young man. And I'm a big Kevin Burkhardt fan. Listen,

94
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: tom Brady is vastly improved. And part of the compliment

95
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: toward Tom Brady is you just watch his games and

96
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: you don't even you know last year's like what is

97
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: he talking about now? It's just like it's just a

98
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: flow of the game. It's just really good. It's an

99
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: easy watch. And they were saying, like, I think you

100
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: go for two. He's I bet he's gonna go for two.

101
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: You do not go for two at home. You do

102
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: not go for two at home, when they have their

103
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: backup quarterback in the game and you have one more

104
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: win than them, you do not do that. I don't

105
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: care what these new spreadsheets say, what Paul D. Podesta

106
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,239
Speaker 1: and his seventy five people working for the Brown say

107
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: as they win three games a year, I don't give

108
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: a shit. You do exactly what Ben Johnson did. And

109
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson early in this game, on that first drive

110
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: when they drove right down the field and you went,

111
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: this guy's got a dial today had probably the worst

112
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: play call of his career, definitely of his career since

113
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: he's called meaningful football right the last couple of years

114
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,679
Speaker 1: with the Lions and obviously this year with the Bears

115
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: when DeAndre Swift had been running right down their throat.

116
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: You have a quarterback who is just an exceptional athlete

117
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: who can make shit happen with his feet, and they

118
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: did some like snap it under Cole Comets, like as

119
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: he's pretended to be the quarterback to do a toush

120
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: push to the running back that gets airmail. It was

121
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: a disaster, And I bet I'm doing this right after

122
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: the game, Ben Johnson's going to admit that that's beyond stupid. Listen,

123
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: it happens. No one's perfect, Like I'm not acting like

124
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: you can't do a dumb play call. It's just weird

125
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: to see when you have one of the best play

126
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: callers in the league who has been kind of, as

127
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: the kids would say, in his bag all season long.

128
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: But one thing that you have to do in these games,

129
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: and I think it's Ben Harden. They kind of talked

130
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: about it during the broadcast. Is I think when Caleb

131
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: was talking to Kevin and Tom, he's like, listen, you

132
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: know part of you know when you watch Steph Curry

133
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna he doesn't anymore. But early on in his

134
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: career you're like, what the hell are you? Oh? Great shot?

135
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: And there is a huge element like, listen, I was wrong.

136
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: I did not think this was gonna work. I did not,

137
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: and early in the season his accuracy issues what Ben

138
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: Johnson would like in a player. But the one thing

139
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: Caleb has shown which I respect the most when it

140
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: comes to players is mental toughness. And mental toughness doesn't

141
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: show up in the first quarter. Mental toughness shows up

142
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: late in games. Mental toughness shows up when you're fatigued.

143
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: And what happens late in games. You've been hit a

144
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: couple of times, you're feeling it mentally, physically, you are

145
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, it takes big time focus. The majority of

146
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: games in the NFL are within one score in the

147
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. This is not jmu versus Oregon. This is

148
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: not too lane ole miss. In the NFL, when you

149
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: have two good teams like the Packers and the Bears,

150
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: let alone, like what a bad team plays a good team,

151
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: you get close games all the time. Hell, look at

152
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 1: the Eagles in Washington throughout the first like two and

153
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: a half quarters. It's tightly contested game the NFL, and

154
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: Caleb has shown time and time again like he's mentally

155
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: pretty tough. There has never been any disputing his physical skills.

156
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: Like that pass he made to tie the game was,

157
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: you know, getting rushed coming back corner back corner of

158
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: the end zone was a big time throw. And obviously

159
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: the runs on that drive were fantastic as well. He's

160
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: done that all season long. He had DJ Moore over

161
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: the middle, it was, it was a fantastic drive. And

162
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: then clearly the game winning throw is just only so

163
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: many guys have that in the back and I think

164
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: to Malik Willison. We'll get into that in a second.

165
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: Arm strength in these cold weather cities really really matter.

166
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: It really matters. And he saw it tonight on full

167
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 1: display and Jordan Love before he got hurt. Same thing.

168
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: You have to have a strong arm to function in

169
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 1: the passing game in places like Chicago where the wind

170
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: is gusting up to thirty thirty five miles an hour

171
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 1: on top of it being twenty eight to thirty degrees.

172
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: I played golf this morning it was seventy four degrees.

173
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: I can't relate to that. I despised the cold, so

174
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: I respect it. But I've lived in Philly, like I

175
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: we played of I remember when we went to Chicago

176
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: at the time, they had terrible field back in the day.

177
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: Their field feels a little more buttoned up now. But

178
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: like his ability physically translates to that city. And clearly,

179
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: you know, success creates confidence and builds on it. And

180
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: obviously last year was just a complete disaster for everyone involved,

181
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: and this year started getting a little weird early on.

182
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: And what they have done simply, I mean a large part.

183
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: You know that the head coach has been brilliant the

184
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: majority of the year. Tonight, I thought it was the

185
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: quarterback making place, pulling shit out of is you know

186
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: what because the defensive coordinator on the other team is

187
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: a guy that's gonna be a head coach probably in

188
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: like a month, and was doing a I mean that

189
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: that was unreal by him and Lafloor most of the

190
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: game just running the ball, slowing down, controlling the clock,

191
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: uggling up that. That was a classic Kyle Shanahan game, right, Like,

192
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: we got some injuries and then our backup quarterback comes in.

193
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: The only way we can win ugly this thing up. Now,

194
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: we might take a shot or two, but we are

195
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: not going to get into like a you know, a

196
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: big you know what swing contest with you because you

197
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: your star quarterback in you got DJ Moore and Cole

198
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: Kmett and Loveland, a bunch of guys. Our guys are

199
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 1: dropping like flies, and we got to ugly this thing up.

200
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: And it wasn't until the end where it kind of

201
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: got more in the bears favor and once they got that.

202
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: Is there a crazier play in sports than the on

203
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: side kick? I was thinking, like a walk off home run.

204
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 1: I've seen a million of those, right, A game winning

205
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: shot like I've seen maybe like a game winning shot

206
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: from full court because it is so unexpected when an

207
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: onside kick happens. I think it's crazy when it even

208
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: takes a crazy bounce and the team that's kicking the

209
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: ball even has a chance to get it, because I

210
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: feel like the majority of onside kicks, if we just

211
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: took fifty, the last fifty on side kicks, eighty percent

212
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: of them aren't even close either. Don't bounce crazy, don't

213
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 1: bounce high, go right to a guy, go fire out

214
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: of bounds like it's never even a play. Then maybe

215
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: ten percent or fifteen percent of the remaining take a

216
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: really good bounce, but the guy just catches and hit

217
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: the ground. And then the tiny, tiny percent I know

218
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 1: they said eight percent of the time it works. Pine

219
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: Sewell's brother forty four was a step away and Dobbs

220
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: looks up as the ball's taking a weird bounce because

221
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: listen that that guy's not paid to cover, he's paid

222
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: to hit. And Noah Sewell was about to fucking rock

223
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: his world and he felt it and he flinched. And

224
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: that's the only way an outside kick happens. Either the

225
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: guy just bungles it because it takes a weird bounce

226
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: or he gets a little scared and we can make

227
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: fun of football. We want about being softer than ever

228
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: and relative to what it was thirty forty years ago,

229
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. But that play that there's not that

230
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: much space between the guys. They're running full speed. You're

231
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: down on a knee at least if you're a punk returner,

232
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: like if you want to, you can make a busines decision.

233
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: You can fair catch it. You can just move out

234
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: of the way like on an outside kick if you're

235
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: standing there on the hands team or you're on your

236
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 1: knees trying to you know, make a play like you're

237
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: a second baseman. There's no safety and they're putting guys

238
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: on defense like noahsoule that are just paid to do

239
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: one thing, rock people's world. And it happened, and that

240
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: was I would say the craziest wow moment of the game.

241
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: There were three of them, the two touchdown passes, but like,

242
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 1: I don't think we're that shocked, Like we've seen very

243
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: talented quarterbacks make great plays and Caleb both those passes,

244
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: especially the game winner, was I mean, as gorgeous as

245
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: you're ever gonna see. But like when he lets it rip.

246
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: You're thinking like this could be caught right both passes

247
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: when the on side kick happens, like let's just the

248
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: Packers is gonna win, and then your jaw hits the floor.

249
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 1: Now here's the other thing when they got the ball

250
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: back because they were getting crushed for running on the kicker,

251
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: and Tom was like, you gotta hurry up, You gotta

252
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: hurry up. I hear you most games, like if you're

253
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: indoors or you know, it's it's a seventy five degree

254
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: day in Chicago in late September. The wind is pumping.

255
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: It's kind of intense, like it's a pretty big moment

256
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: for the kicker. If he misses, the game is one

257
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: hundred percent over. I understood like the urgency behind Tom

258
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: saying to hurry up. But I also understood from the

259
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: kicker's perspective of like, bro, I gotta take my steps right.

260
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: We gotta be careful here. I gotta play twenty thirty

261
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: mile an hour wins. I gotta play this little hook

262
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: like it's not an easy shot. It's like the equivalent

263
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: of golf if you're hitting a t shot with wind

264
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: and there's water, Like I have no margin for air here.

265
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: So was it ideal? No, But like I do think

266
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: he had to take his time because no matter what,

267
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: he had to hit the kick. And I do I

268
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: also think that there would have been coaches in the

269
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: NFL that when they got because it was one fifty nine,

270
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: they had two timeouts. Now, the Bears defense, they're not

271
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: known for their defense, right, they get takeaways, they create turnovers.

272
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: I mean they got one a night against Josh Jacobs

273
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: down by the red zone. That you create another one

274
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: on the onside kick UF. I mean, they're just they're

275
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: blessed when it comes to the turnovers. But like they're

276
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: not a great defense. You could have been like, hey,

277
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna kick it off. We got two timeouts and

278
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: hopefully we could tackle them somewhere between the twenty and

279
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: the thirty, get a stop, get the ball back with

280
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: let's say a buck ten, a buck fifteen, and let

281
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: Caleb b Caleb. I don't think that would have been

282
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: the craziest thing. Now, you could argue that you know

283
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: they've been running the ball. Well, they do have their

284
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: backup quarterback in and while he did a valiant job,

285
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: it made some unreal place and the Packers are of

286
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: a lot of credit for his improvement because it has

287
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: truly been incredible that I think you could have done it.

288
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: And once they got it, it was on like Donkey

289
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: Kong because you give the Bears and Caleb the ball

290
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: back at the fifty yard line with multiple timeouts, they

291
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: were kind of on easy street. They did not have

292
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: to rush at all. He could take his time, have

293
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: a couple scrambles, hit a couple out routes. But then

294
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: anytime in that situation, it's like, especially if you make

295
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: some positive plays once you get down toward, once you

296
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: get down toward like the red zone. Because they were

297
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: at like the twelve yard line on first and ten,

298
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: he hits Loveland for six yards, little out route, he

299
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: gets out of bounds. Next pass is incomplete. So all

300
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: of a sudden you look up and it's like it's

301
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: third and four. Now they still could have got it

302
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: first down. It wasn't third and goal, But you're like,

303
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: this is a little tricky spot because for the most

304
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: of the drive they just drove right down. He had

305
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: Dj Moore over the middle. He scrambled for a play,

306
00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: and then once it gets third and four, you go, god,

307
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: I kind of get tight so I started thinking, like

308
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: ore kleb Ben, like you guys, he's pretty big play.

309
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 1: And I think clearly, over the course of the season,

310
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: you would have felt pretty confident because you'd be like, oh,

311
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: kayleb just gonna scramble around, make something happen. Worst case scenario,

312
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: gets it with his legs. But they've been doing such

313
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: a good job throughout the game that you weren't quite

314
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: as confident. And clearly you looked at the line of scrimmage,

315
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: it felt like there were seven or eight, you know,

316
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: yellow jerseys. It's like, I think he's bringing the house.

317
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: And on the third down play he brought the house

318
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: and Caleb airmails the ball, and then on the fourth

319
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: down play, he brought the house again and he hit

320
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: him in the back of the end zone for the

321
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: game time touchdown, and it was awesome. You know where

347
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: when Malik Willis fumbles the ball. I thought, going into

348
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: overtime and I Texas to our group chat that it

349
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: was going to be stunning or I would have been

350
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: stunned if the Packers won the game. It felt like

351
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: once he hit that pass, the game was over. Now

352
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 1: that wasn't necessarily the case, right. The Packers had a

353
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: six play, forty three yard drive and he fumbled the

354
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: ball at the Chicago thirty six, So it's like they

355
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,959
Speaker 1: had successful plays. They couldn't kick a field goal from

356
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: that distance. It would have been forty six fifty plus

357
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: yard field goal with the win pretty risky. I have

358
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: no problem for them going for it now. The fumble

359
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: was obviously just a complete kick in the you know what.

360
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: And then Caleb four plays later throws the bomb the

361
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 1: DJ Moore who I mean, just an absolute gorgeous ball,

362
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: and you know, it gets back to one thing why

363
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: Caleb was anointed so early was the physical gifts. I mean,

364
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: the arm is just elite, and Colin and I have

365
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 1: been talking about this all year long. I mean part

366
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: of the reason, like I've always said, I can live

367
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 1: with interceptions. You want to throw fourteen interceptions throughout the season,

368
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: who cares? Do you throw me forty touchdowns? The year

369
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford and the Rams won the Super Bowl in

370
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: twenty one, he threw seventeen picks. He also threw forty

371
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: one touchdowns. I can't live with seventeen interceptions if you're

372
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: throwing twenty five touchdowns, right. I can live with mistakes

373
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: if you're giving me the big place and then when

374
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: you factor in. Caleb has become one of the better scramblers.

375
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 1: I don't consider him a true runner, but like watching

376
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: the game before watching, like Mariota and Jalen who are

377
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 1: viewed as running quarterbacks, Jalen doesn't run as much as

378
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: he did early in his career, I feel like Caleb's

379
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: faster than both those guys. Like Caleb speed. At one

380
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: point tonight, I was like, I understand that it's never

381
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 1: been a part of his offense since he became an

382
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator with Jared Goff, But I would have I'd

383
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: be careful because clearly you know your starting quarterback, but

384
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: he's pretty good at avoiding hits, like getting on the ground.

385
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: I would have some designed runs for Caleb Williams beside

386
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: just the passes where he creates something out of nothing.

387
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 1: And I thought there were points in time throughout the

388
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: game because they were doing with Malik Willis. I'm like,

389
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: I think you could do this with Caleb and it

390
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: would be effective because there run game. At one point tonight,

391
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: they had twenty six carries for one hundred and fifty yards,

392
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: which is not bad, but it didn't feel like they

393
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: were quite as dominant as they'd been. They had drives

394
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: where they were very successful, but I thought there were

395
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: moments where it's like you could use Klyb's legs here,

396
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: like he's pretty fast. You could have some like RPO

397
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: zone reed stuff where you kind of freeze people and

398
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: just let him take off. And he ended up doing that,

399
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: you know, kind of anyway toward the end of the

400
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: game when he scrambled around he was I mean it

401
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: was a defining moment of the young man's career. I

402
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: mean it was tonight was really really big, and it

403
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: was really really cool as a football fan. And listen

404
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: to Bears. They're having a season. I mean they're eleven

405
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,360
Speaker 1: and four. Their next game is against the forty nine ers,

406
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: who play on Monday night football on the road. Do

407
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: you know the advantage? Obviously, this big, this win, and

408
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: I mean the next two days, no one on the

409
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: team will even be able to focus. Don't even blame them.

410
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 1: I mean, you're you're gonna be riding high. But the

411
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: team you play does not play tomorrow. They don't even

412
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: play Monday Day. They played Monday at night on the

413
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: East Coast in Indianapolis. What time are they gonna get

414
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: back to San Francisco. Now it's a road game for

415
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: the Bears, but can you imagine the advantage of basically,

416
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,719
Speaker 1: they don't get twenty four hour advantage, they get forty

417
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: eight plus hours advantage. And they were already gonna have

418
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: an advantage in the sense that, like they have pretty

419
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: dynamic offensive players, the forty nine ers are rolling out

420
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: a lot of backups. It's gonna be a tough matchup

421
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: for the forty nine ers. Then you factor in the

422
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: rest advantage. I think the Bears have a very very

423
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: good chance to win that game. And then potentially, I mean,

424
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: the Lions could be KO'ed out of the playoffs by

425
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 1: Week eighteen, and who knows by the seeding, and you know,

426
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 1: the Packers play the Ravens next week, so there's no

427
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 1: guarantee that they're ever gonna win that game. I mean

428
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: this this division could be wrapped up. Who knows by

429
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: the time that they play the forty nine Ers on

430
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football. But definitely if they were to win

431
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 1: that game, I mean, I think there's a decent chance

432
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 1: that this division's over. So congratulations of the Bears. Congratulations

433
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: of Caleb Williams. Just remarkable improvement throughout the season, truly

434
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: has been, and he's a fun player to watch. He's

435
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: tonight with the biggest moments, made incredible fucking plays. The

436
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: touchdown pass to end the game was just a thing

437
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: of beauty, great catch by DJ Moore at one point

438
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: in time, Now he would there were points in time

439
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: late in that game where he clearly was gassed that

440
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: you wonder like did he just break his collar bone

441
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: or something, because he was laying there and then clearly

442
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: he got up and started celebrating. Everyone was having a

443
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: good time. But that was Listen. I don't pretend to

444
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: be a Bears historian, but in recent memory, you know,

445
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: post like the end of the earlock or through Cutler

446
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 1: kind of like twenty ten run. This has to be

447
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 1: one of their better wins of the last fifteen years,

448
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: and you could argue it's their best win, you know,

449
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: for a team that they just could not beat. When

450
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: it was sixteen six and five minutes left, you went, listen, Chicago,

451
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: You're still gonna go to the playoffs. You're having a

452
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: fantastic season. For whatever reason, this team just owned you.

453
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: I don't even know how to describe it, but they

454
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: just own you. And then you know they don't own them.

455
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: They just the ownership felt like it ended now, not

456
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: for good, Like the Packers are still a well run franchise.

457
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: They're not going anywhere. But for as great of a

458
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: win as that was for Chicago, and that was a

459
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: great win, a great win, that was a devastating loss

460
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: for the Packers. I I don't know how anyone with

461
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: the Packers will be able to sleep for days. One

462
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: emotional toll they had coming into this game after losing

463
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons for the season had to just be weighing

464
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: on everyone in the organization, players, coaches, scouts, you name it.

465
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: Then early in this game, your starting quarterback, who looked

466
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: pretty solid and was probably gonna have a solid game,

467
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: gets absolutely obliterated, clear like this guy ain't coming back

468
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: in the game, never see him again, helmet gets taken away.

469
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: They go to Malik Willis, who when they traded a

470
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 1: seventh round pick I think at the end of training

471
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: camp last year from Malik Willis. I would say they

472
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: were universally mocked and made fun of because most people

473
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: I was probably guilty of this too, just thought Malik

474
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: Willis could not play in the NFL. The guy, the

475
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 1: Malik Willis we watched the night was like good player.

476
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: Malik Willis made multiple big throws. Obviously the touchdown pass.

477
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: He made a great throw over the middle. The Musk

478
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: Graves had Jayden Reid on a play over the middle

479
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: like his. His numbers will not reflect how good Malik

480
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: Willis was and I especially when you factor in some

481
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: of the games they were talking about to now on

482
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: the broadcast were games when Jordan lovel was just out

483
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: so he was the starter Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.

484
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: This guy and even Brady like he ain't get any

485
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: reps during the week. He's like they and they ain't

486
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: changing the game plan at least till halftime because you're

487
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: just running with the game plan as he's in in

488
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: the first halford you don't have time. You're just calling

489
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: the plays that were already in the game plan. He's

490
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: clearly studied it with Jordan, but you're not adapting till halftime,

491
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: where you kind of got to scrap some stuff. Really

492
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: sit down and talk with him like, hey, what do

493
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: we like? What are we gonna do? What are some

494
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: stuff we've done in previous games? Like that, There's a

495
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: lot going on. And he goes nine to eleventh or

496
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty yards, throws a touchdown. He also

497
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: had ten carries for forty four yards. I mean, he

498
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: was awesome. So he comes in to spell Love, who's

499
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 1: kot out of the game, plays fantastic on the road,

500
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 1: windy cold game has you up ten points and you lose.

501
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: I don't know how you shake that. And I respect

502
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: a shit out of the Packers because that move is classic,

503
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: right right, that is a move that you go this

504
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: guy's undervalue. We like this guy coming out. We think

505
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: he's a high character guy. We think physically he's really gifted.

506
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, Anthony Richson, look at that guy. Because

507
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: he was a guy I think he came out of Liberty.

508
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 1: He could run, he had a big arm, had no

509
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: clue where was going played in the NFL. Was just

510
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: a debucle for the Titans. Several years later, he's a

511
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: real NFL player. Like I think, like could he be

512
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: an NFL bridge quarterback at least? Like he's got some

513
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: skills and they have coached this guy up. He's improved dramatically.

514
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: He deserves a lot of credit. You know, the culture

515
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: of this building. You just come to this ain't Tennessee.

516
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: You come to Green Bay. We uplift everyone. The improves.

517
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: We have one of the highest floors as a franchise

518
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And we're beating the Bears. We're gonna

519
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:11,239
Speaker 1: have complete owners of them until we didn't I and

520
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: now we're not winning the division. We I mean, we

521
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: still got to battle our ass off to make the playoffs.

522
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: You know, we'll see what happens with the Lions in

523
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steeler game tomorrow, but we like, what is

524
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: going on? How did this happen? We're well run organization.

525
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: We trade two first round picks, We pay a guy

526
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars. He's got a torn acl I

527
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: just don't know what you do. We're doing everything the

528
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: right way, and now we're nine to five and one,

529
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: and I tonight ultimately didn't you know, might indirectly in

530
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: their season, but their season was lost when they lost

531
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: the if they missed the playoffs or a one and

532
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: done team in the playoffs, because they're the seven seed

533
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: and didn't win the division. Because you lost the Brows,

534
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: you tied the Cowboys, like you can't. That can't have.

535
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: You had a ten point lead against the Browns in

536
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. You should not at that time be

537
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: losing or tying the Cowboys. That cannot happen. And all

538
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: of a sudden, instead of being nine to five and one,

539
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: you have the same record as the Bears, even if

540
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: you lose this game in that fashion. But you set

541
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: yourself up for this with that. And I tweeted this

542
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: when Malik Willis came in and made one play, said,

543
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: if Matt Lafleur can win this game with Malik Willis

544
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: on the road, when he did not prepare to be

545
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: the starter, you have to give him a contract extension tomorrow.

546
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: And honestly, I thought, for the most part, he did

547
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: a good job and what he's done with Malik Willis

548
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: is pretty remarkable, and their defensive coordinator is freaking awesome,

549
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: and they're still nine to five and one, and it

550
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: felt like they had like four more injuries tonight. Now

551
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Wilson, he was kind of an older I think,

552
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: small school guy, was running his ass off the night,

553
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: and clearly Jacob's banged up and they were just riding

554
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 1: the hot hand. But I just I don't know what

555
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: you do. I mean, the Bears. I wrote it down.

556
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: They had ten penalties at one point in time. They

557
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: ended with ten penalties for one hundred and five yards.

558
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: Packers only had four. So you're winning a game by

559
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: ten points. They have ten penalties, and I don't know

560
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: how you shake it. That is. It doesn't get any better.

561
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: If I'm a Bears fan. It's one of the best

562
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: wins we've ever I could ever remember, right. I'm sure

563
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: you had some back of your heyday, but that's as

564
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: good as it gets, especially playing that franchise on Saturday

565
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: night leading into the week of Christmas. Everyone's at home,

566
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: everyone's watching that game. Tom Brady's on the call. I

567
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: bet thirty five million people watch. My guess, maybe I'm crazy.

568
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: Thirty million people, A ton of people watched, you still lose.

569
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: I don't know how you shake that. I really don't.

570
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: And I think the Packers like are well run. I

571
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: think they have a good coaching staff. They clearly have

572
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: good players. I mean, how they got good backups and

573
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: they still found a way to lose tonight. I that one.

574
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: I'm not saying this calls into question Lafleur's job, but

575
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: it's kind of the way the NFL works, fair or not.

576
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: He was coming into the season coaching for a contract extension.

577
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: I mean that was that was an established fact by

578
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: the new president. And now he's nine to five and one.

579
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: There's a chance they go to the playoffs. It's like

580
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: the seventh seed is ten five and one. I guess

581
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: that'd be sixteen maybe ten six in one. If they

582
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: split the last two games and they limp in and

583
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: they get knocked out, It's like, what do you do.

584
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: Do you just give him a reprieve because some weird

585
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: shit happened because you had a bunch of injuries. Do

586
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: you try to improve? Do you just go with halflee?

587
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: But then you still, like, clearly the floor is good

588
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: at working with quarterbacks, which is an extremely valuable skill.

589
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know the answer. I personally

590
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: think he's good, but you know, you watch it like,

591
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,719
Speaker 1: I don't think there's that much of a difference. You know,

592
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: Ben's obviously this is first year coaching. I would say,

593
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: if you did a draft from scratch, I would imagine

594
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: fair or not. I mean, Lafour's resume is much longer,

595
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: and we live in a little bit of a society

596
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: that what have you done for me lately? But I

597
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: do think if you just polled GMS, who would you

598
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: take Ben Johnson or Matt Lafleur. I think most people

599
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: would take Matt laflor or excuse me, Ben Johnson, right,

600
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: And those are type questions that in Green Bay internally

601
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: they will ask. Again, I'm not pinning this game on

602
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: him by any means, but it was a big picture

603
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: question coming into the season, and this is a results

604
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: based business, you know. Brandon Staley used to talk about this,

605
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: and bad coaches always talked about like, well, I think

606
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: our process is right. You're not judged on your process.

607
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: Nick Saban writes books about his process because he won

608
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:02,479
Speaker 1: six titles. Jeff Bezos writes books about the process because

609
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: he runs the biggest company in the world. I mean,

610
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: no one cares about the process of the Cleveland Browns

611
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: and Paul deep Podesta, right, no one cares about the

612
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 1: Colorado Rockies who lose one hundred and twenty games a

613
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: year about their process, even if it's right, No one

614
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:20,399
Speaker 1: gives a shit. So I want to hear about Ben

615
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: Johnson's process. What has he done? What's Kayleb Williams process? Why?

616
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: Because they're getting results. That's the way the world works,

617
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: always has, always will So I just think the Packers

618
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: thing is gonna get it could get weird, and the

619
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: Bears are just I don't know, man, they're living well.

620
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 1: Congrats to Kayleb Williams for just definitely his most or

621
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: you know, iconic moment as you know, in his young

622
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: career so far in the NFL, to do that on

623
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: Saturday night football walk off bomb. You know, we don't see,

624
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: like I said, onside, tick is probably the least likely

625
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: thing we see. It's pretty rare. You know, football is

626
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: not quite like basketball. Usually don't have like walk off touchdowns.

627
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: It's more walk off field goals. But in overtime, every

628
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: once you get walk off touchdowns, it's pretty rare. You

629
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: just get the walk off. Sometimes you get like a

630
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 1: walk off blown coverage and a guy walks in or

631
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 1: a big run. It's pretty rare. You just get like

632
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: a walk in, absolute bomb catch for a touchdown that's contested. Right,

633
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: the dB was right there. It wasn't like, you know,

634
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: DJ's wide open, He's got to hit him like the

635
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,959
Speaker 1: guy was all over And how long was that catch?

636
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: Forty six yards? Djit Moore is good tonight. Five catches

637
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,760
Speaker 1: for ninety seven yards in the touchdown. Monangai is a beast.

638
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: What a game? What a game? A couple of quick

639
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: things before we get out of here. I don't have

640
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 1: much to say on the Eagles game. They ended up

641
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: blowing him out in the second half. I mean, Washington's unwatchable.

642
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 1: They really are, they are, They're really, really bad. I

643
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: mean Josh Johnson came in. I just had to go

644
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,439
Speaker 1: to his Wikipedia again. He has played on so many

645
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: freaking teams. He's played like seven different leagues too, XFL, UFL, NFL.

646
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,280
Speaker 1: I mean the guy. The guy came into the NFL

647
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight for Tampa Bay. I'm pretty

648
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: sure I didn't count it up. Maybe i'll do a

649
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: segment this week. I think he's played for like fifteen

650
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 1: teams in the league. It's it's pretty insane. It's thirty

651
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: nine years old. He just keeps you just look up,

652
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: a guy gets injured, he's in the game. But you know, Philly,

653
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: I think they won the division tonight. Right, their games

654
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: are gonna always look the same like their game if

655
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna win playoff games, it's going to be ugly,

656
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: like they're not gonna win games and look great. That's

657
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: not the way they've played all season long. Their offense

658
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,959
Speaker 1: is just really really weird. I mean tonight got going

659
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: in the second half. H Saquon kind of started going off.

660
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: But they're playing the worst defense in the league. Like

661
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: whoever they play in the playoffs in the first round,

662
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna host a game, right, the forty nine ers

663
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 1: Seattle Green Bay. It's gonna be a weird game, and

664
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: I would imagine if they win multiple players they're all

665
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 1: gonna be weird. So defensively they're good. Offensively, they have

666
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: a ton of pieces. They can have drives where it

667
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 1: just looks horrendous, right, and Jalen is just a bizarre player.

668
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: But then he can just go on stretches where it's

669
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: like Davante aj Saquon god Her, You're like that was sweet.

670
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 1: That's the bizarre part. It's like, we understand, you know,

671
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: Malik Willis has to play right or super cold and windy.

672
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: It's understandable that the game, you know, is sixteen to

673
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 1: thirteen or sixteen to nine, Like, yeah, that's the way

674
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: games are in freezing Cole. But whenever you watch the Eagles,

675
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: you're like, you got a j Brown, Davonte Smith, Saquon Barkley,

676
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: and Dallas Goddard and you can't get first downs for

677
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, quarters at a time against this defense. How

678
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,280
Speaker 1: is this possible? You have seven points going to aftime?

679
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: What's going on now? Part of it? And here's the

680
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: kicker here, here's the one concern for the Philadelphia Eagles.

681
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: When your margin is really small, which clearly it is

682
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: because of their offense, your kicker is kind of important. Right.

683
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: Your defense is good and it's gonna be good, especially

684
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: if it's pretty healthy coming in what they keep an

685
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: eye on Jail and Carter, But like Jake Elliott, missing

686
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: a bunch of kicks is a problem and that's gonna

687
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,919
Speaker 1: throw off Sirianni in their analytical department, because they will

688
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: punt on having him kick if he missed a couple

689
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: of kicks down the stretch you know, I'm talking about

690
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 1: down the stretch of these next couple of games leading

691
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: in to the playoffs, Like they're just gonna run him

692
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: out now that these games don't necessarily matter into high

693
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: pressure points situations, and if he can't kick, like I

694
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: the other thing is like they won't be afraid to

695
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: like make a move, you know, if he is untrustworthy

696
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:53,399
Speaker 1: and they go we're gonna be in a game that's

697
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: gonna be like seventeen to fifteen. And it's the difference

698
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: of him missing an extra point in a field goal

699
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: from forty yards us going to the next round or not.

700
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 1: We're we can live and die with Jalen playing shitty,

701
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: right or Mitchell or you know some of our guys

702
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 1: on defense, Cooper Degen. If we get beat with them

703
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: playing shitty, like okay, so be it. But we are

704
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: not going down because of our kicker. I promise you,

705
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: Howie Roseman will not go down Jeffrey Lori with their kicker.

706
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,720
Speaker 1: If the offense because you know, they got some offensive

707
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 1: line injuries and Jalen plays shitty. There's nothing you can

708
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: do about that, But there is with a kicker. There's

709
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: a million kickers on the street who can make field goals.

710
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: We see it all the time. So I think the

711
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: Jake Elliott thing these last fourteen days something to keep

712
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: an eye on. Now. It's hard to make a kicker switch,

713
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: right especially a guy that's been a kicker for a

714
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: long time. But I think that's a pretty big problem

715
00:39:45,080 --> 00:40:01,720
Speaker 1: right now for them. And last about listen, the college

716
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 1: football thing we saw coming from a mile away. You know,

717
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: the Alabama Oklahoma game was pretty crazy last night. But

718
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,479
Speaker 1: John Mattier, ever since he broke his hand, just hasn't

719
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: been very good, you know. And he's just a complete

720
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: roller coaster ride. And the more he throws, the worse

721
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: he gets. And Kaylen dubor h Bruce Feldman put this

722
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 1: out last night at seven to one against top ten opponents.

723
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 1: But he's a big game coach. He's pretty good. Everyone

724
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: acted like he's the village idiot because he lost to Georgia.

725
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he beat them the previous two times he

726
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: played him. He's a good coach. Is it a little

727
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,760
Speaker 1: bit of a weird fit in Alabama. Yes, is Kaylen

728
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: Dubor good at coaching football? Like Kirk Signetti said, google him.

729
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: He wins a lot. He's gonna be fine. He would

730
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 1: win anywhere he went. Now he's gonna do it a

731
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:51,720
Speaker 1: little differently. But that was a fantastic win. And Matteer,

732
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about a guy through the first

733
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 1: couple of weeks looked like he was gonna win the

734
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,919
Speaker 1: Heisman to break his hand. Now he goes he gonna

735
00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:00,320
Speaker 1: come back and be their quarterback next year. Uh, but listen,

736
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: fantastic win by Alabama. I watched the second half of

737
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: Miami Texas A and M that's just just a terrible

738
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 1: product that no one wants to watch a game that

739
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 1: looks like that. No one does. That was awful, But

740
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: bunch of NFL defensive and offensive lineman, physical game quarterbacks.

741
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: Not great is what it is. The other two games

742
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: are an embarrassment. And I know a lot of people

743
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,760
Speaker 1: are going to talk about this not in a million years.

744
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: Because the Fresno Grizzlies or the Sacramento Rivercats have a

745
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: fantastic season in Triple A, do they get to play

746
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: the Phillies or the Dodgers in the playoffs. What are

747
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: we doing. It's clearly about money, It's clearly about litigation.

748
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 1: Let's figure a way out. Get with your TV partners,

749
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: create them a playoff. Never again do we want to watch?

750
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: And I know Klatt, I think he took a lot

751
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: of shit because he took a shot at the March madness,

752
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: which I'm gonna agree with Marsh Maddis is incredible, but

753
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: football is not Marsh Madness. No one wants to watch

754
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: the little guy ever. And when we kind of did

755
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 1: maybe twenty years ago, Boise State with Kellen Moore played

756
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: on a team that eleven guys got drafted. If it

757
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,919
Speaker 1: was twenty twenty five, probably nine of those guys would

758
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: have been bought by Texas, Ohio State, Alabama, Oregon, Oklahoma.

759
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 1: They wouldn't have been on the team, including Kellen. Potentially

760
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 1: those teams won't exist ever again. Hell, it's difficult for

761
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: teams like Arizona State, who just paid their coach seven

762
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: and a half million dollars Kenny Dillingham to stay. In

763
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: his first press conference after signing the contract, he gets

764
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,959
Speaker 1: on a microphone and begs for twenty million dollars, says

765
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 1: Is there a rich guy at Scottsdale or Phoenix that

766
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: can write me a twenty million dollar check. Historically, when

767
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: you bake for twenty million dollars, that was a huge

768
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: donation of the program. It would last a long time.

769
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,359
Speaker 1: He's talking about his roster in twenty twenty six. That

770
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: pays for one roster. One and you still wouldn't even

771
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: have the highest paid roster in your own conference, the

772
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: Big Twelve, because Texas Texas Tech has a billionaire funding them.

773
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 1: There is no room for the little guy in college football.

774
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: This is not basketball. They are not apples to apples.

775
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 1: In college basketball, it's very possible because a random guy

776
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: from a random school can hit a bunch of threes,

777
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 1: they can press you full court, they can just do

778
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 1: different shit. College football is not that way. You saw

779
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 1: some of those defensive linemen from Miami. There is no

780
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: one at JMU, There was no one at Tulane, there

781
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: was no one at Boise State. There is no one

782
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: at any of those schools right now that was gonna

783
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: block those guys. Ever, and for the most part, even

784
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: when the little of the engine could got their shot,

785
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 1: they didn't pull. Boise pulled the upset against Oklahoma. I

786
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: remember this vividly when Hawaii played Georgia in a bowl

787
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:49,240
Speaker 1: game years ago with Colt Brennan and the right tackle

788
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 1: for Hawaii, or could have been the left tackle got

789
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: beat on every single play and Colt got killed. He

790
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 1: got destroyed in Hawaii had absolutely no business being on

791
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: the field against them. It was honestly pretty embarrassing, and

792
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: more often than not, that's what you get. So we

793
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: had blowouts and I guess JMU ended up covering. But

794
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,919
Speaker 1: this has to end. It has to end. There has

795
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 1: to be divisions. There's a reason Montana played Montana State

796
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 1: because they're both in D one Double A. They both

797
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 1: are on the same level. Tulane should be playing JMU

798
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 1: in their own version of the playoffs. That's only fair.

799
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, Texas, Vanderbilt, whoever should have been in those

800
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: two spots. We all knew it, so there's no reason

801
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: to complain about it because we all knew at the

802
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 1: moment the rules forced us to watch that. I don't

803
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: blame Oregon or Ole miss I mean, they just play

804
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,320
Speaker 1: who they get. The selection committee forces them to play.

805
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: But if you gave Dan Lanning truce here and we

806
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: be like yeah, this is a joke. What are we

807
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: talking about here? So we just hopefully this year, like

808
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 1: the key is going to be getting the TV partners

809
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 1: involved and funneling them some money because I'm pretty sure

810
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: the JMU and two Lane each got eight million dollars.

811
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 1: Now I think they have to split some of that

812
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 1: with their conference. Maybe they get two shares and the

813
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:21,399
Speaker 1: rest of the conference teams or programs get one each.

814
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: But like it just it just has to stop. But again,

815
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: congratulations with Caleb Williams. What a freaking night. The volume
