Will 15 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: dive into that and also do a little look ahead 16 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: Monday Night football. Fantastic Monday Night game Dallas Cowboys, Nick 17 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: Sirianni and the Eagles. I gotta take and you know me, 18 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,479 Speaker 1: I'm not like I have opinions and I'm not always right, 19 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: you know, but I'm not you know, Stephen A skip 20 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: hot takey but I got a pretty strong opinion on 21 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy in this game, and I'm fired up on it. 22 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: But let's start with uh. So and of course Middlecoff 23 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: mail back at John Middlecoff is the Instagram slide up 24 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: into those d m s Tuesday, Tuesday and Friday podcast. 25 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: We will read d m s and your questions on 26 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: the mail bag, of course, and uh and yeah, the 27 00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: the heavyweight fight of the day was the Rams hosting 28 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: Tom Brady and uh a celebrity fill The place was 29 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: looked really awesome, that stadium. I mean, he spent six billion. 30 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: Now with inflation California, you know, in other states probably 31 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: be about three. Put that bad boy in Texas, you know, 32 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: it's probably three three and a half. So it's you know, 33 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: money's relative to where you live or whatever. Luckily, Cronky, 34 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: he's got the money. He's a rich dude, pretty sure. 35 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: He also married one of the daughters of the Walton family. 36 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 1: They own this little thing called Walmart. So money is 37 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: not an issue. You know, he can't relate to us 38 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: normal people financial issues. But he spent a lot of 39 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: money and the place looked awesome, celebrity filled. They needed 40 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: a star quarterback, and whether it was the right way 41 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: to do it or the wrong way to do it, 42 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: I don't know. But Sean McVeigh took a complete dump 43 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: last year on Jared Goff. And as someone who watches 44 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: a lot of NFC West football, Jared Goff was not 45 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: very good in the last couple of years. It was 46 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: clear it wasn't just his play. He had physical limitations, 47 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: couldn't make basic throws. So when they made the big 48 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: trade for Stafford, and I said this last week, it's 49 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: the biggest game of his career. Now. I know that 50 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: he's played in playoff games before. I know that he's 51 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: had some winning seasons in Detroit, but let's face it, 52 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: they never had an opportunity in Detroit to ever make 53 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl run. We all know that they didn't 54 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: have a snowballs chance in hell to win games in January, 55 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: and they never did. But he became this polarizing guy. 56 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: Is he good? Is he not good? It's just a 57 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: simple question that most of us sports fans, people that 58 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: talk about football just occasionally had, mainly on Thanksgiving, when 59 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: the one time of year we would see them play, 60 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: or when our team would play the Lions. Because other 61 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: than that, And I think any Lions fan knows listening 62 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: to this for the most part, you're always irrelevant except 63 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: for him and my friends and I knew a couple 64 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: of scouts in that division. They spoke really highly of them, 65 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: and I think sometimes when you're in a bad situation, 66 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: what do the people around you say? And in football, 67 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be in your organization. When you're 68 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: in a division with the guy, you study them really 69 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: closely because you watch your division opponents very very closely 70 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: and you see the teams they play, so obviously see 71 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: him a lot on cross tape. The other guy that 72 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: always sang Stafford's praises was Aaron Rodgers, and he's not 73 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: one to go out of his way, so he had 74 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: legit defenders. And then this year when he made his 75 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: trade request, it was just time. Look at the teams 76 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: that came after him. The Rams and the forty Niners 77 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: went full bore. But as I was told last week, 78 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 1: the Niners in Kyle Shanahan were really pissed when that 79 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: trade went down because they didn't get an opportunity to 80 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 1: counter offer. Now wasn't an inside job. Maybe the general 81 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: manager for the Lions came from the Rams, but they 82 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: gave up two first round picks for a guy you 83 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: know that's gonna be thirty three years old and makes 84 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: a lot of money. It was a bold move. Obviously, 85 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: they got rid of Jared Goff, which they wanted to do, 86 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: but given to for round picks, eating all that dead 87 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: cap and getting you know, somewhat an older player, right, 88 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: a guy that had been in the league eleven years. 89 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: Was a bold move. And let's face it, it works 90 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: and it is working. And I got a lot of 91 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: social media, well, what's gonna happen when he gets in 92 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: the playoffs? Who when we go to the playoffs? Do 93 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: you truly trust Tom Brady Mahomes. Two guys I've seen 94 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson not played well in the playoffs. Lamar's won 95 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: one playoff game. Josh Allen two years ago was playing 96 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: like rugby with his other players when he was getting sacked, 97 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: pitching the ball behind him. So this notion like he 98 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: hasn't proven anything. Most guys have not. There are really 99 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: a couple of guys in this league that have proven 100 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: things in the playoffs. Even Aaron Rodgers was a little 101 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: hit or missed last year and has been before in 102 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: his playoff career. Obviously, he's won a Super Bowl. Last 103 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: time I checked, that was over a decade ago. Like, 104 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: I will take my chances with this guy. The other 105 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: thing that's really clear is that the Rams have been 106 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: really good the last four years. They've made the playoffs 107 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: three of the four of those, right, and the year 108 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: they missed it they went nine and seven, And that 109 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: was the year before they added a playoff spot. So 110 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: if they would have had seven playoff spots, the Rams 111 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: would have made the playoffs all four of mcveigh's years. Well, 112 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: they're ceiling right now with Matt Stafford is dramatically higher 113 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: than it's been. Why Because he can make throws that 114 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 1: Jared Goff couldn't dream of making. And I'm not some 115 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: Jared Goff hater. I'm a Cal fan, grew up rooting 116 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: for the program. I naturally root for people in my area. 117 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: I'm rooting for Jared Goff to just be functional, and 118 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: he's been that right now. He's actually not been terrible 119 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: this season given what he's playing with. But Matt Stafford, 120 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: if you had put those two guys in the same draft, 121 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: whether it was two thousand sixteen or back in two 122 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: thousand and eleven at the same age, there is not 123 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: a general manager or head coach in the NFL that 124 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: would have taken Jared Goff over Matt Stafford and now 125 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh who I saw staff today is forty and 126 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 1: oh and leading at halftime. Out to me, Tom Brady 127 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: and the Bucks. They have nothing to prove, absolutely nothing. 128 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: They're the defending champs. We'll see the Rams. Their division 129 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: is way easier than the NFC West, so the Rams 130 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: will just lose games. I still think the Bucks have 131 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: the opportunity to get the number one seed. Uh Antonio Brown, 132 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: who's been playing really well this season, was on the 133 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: COVID list, so he didn't even travel. I would not 134 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: write off the Bucks. They're coaching staffs too good. They 135 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: got Tom freaking Brady and there these have too many 136 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: good players. Now their secondary can be a little hit 137 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: or miss, but most secondaries in the NFL are a 138 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: little hit or miss. You know. The Rams who have 139 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: a you know, above average secondary, have one elite dB 140 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: you can throw to the other side. So but you 141 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: saw on full display today the reason they made the 142 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: trade four touchdowns making passes that were just like whoa 143 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: and again Troy Aikman said during the game, He's like, yeah, 144 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: that's probably the most important game Matt Staffords ever played in. 145 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: Like it was clear and you can tell Matt had 146 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: some jitters. Places packed as the game went on, settled 147 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: in Cooper Cup is a star and they kind of 148 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: lit up Tampa Bay. Great teams lose games in the 149 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: regular season. You could have a fantastic season in two 150 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: thousand twenty one and lose four games. You'd still have 151 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: thirteen wins. I think sometimes we overreact when good teams lose, 152 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: right when bad teams, I'm sure we'll talk about the 153 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: Giants John Mara, I mean, what a disaster, what an 154 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: utter embarrassment that franchise is. Like, you can't over when 155 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: the Giants are losing. You can have legitimate takes. When 156 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: when certain teams look like Urban Meyer can't even get 157 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: close to winning game, you could have to take some 158 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: that Tampa Bay like, I'm sorry, they've earned the benefit 159 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: of the doubt, They've earned some wiggle room to be like, yeah, 160 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: traveled you know, across the country day before the game. 161 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 1: I heard Peter Schraeger last week say they flew out 162 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 1: late Saturday night, Like Okay, it happened. I'm not making 163 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: an excuse. They got beat and the Rams are really 164 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 1: good and the Rams ceiling has been elevated a couple 165 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 1: not just they They've been really good. Like I said, 166 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: they have been a consistent winning team under Sean. Now 167 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: they are a legitimate Super Bowl contender, a team that 168 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 1: if they were to make it, they're a scoring three 169 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:12,959 Speaker 1: points in the super Bowl like they did their one 170 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: time with Jared Goff, that would not happen. Now. I'm 171 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: not saying there's some lock to win at all, but 172 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 1: my takeaway today watching them was like, Yeah, they're a 173 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: powerhouse team right now, and they're gonna be hell to 174 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: deal with if they can keep their core guys healthy, 175 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: which is obviously Stafford went worked their left tackle. They're 176 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: very dependent on him because their offensive line Donald Cooper, Cup, 177 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey. I wouldn't want to mess with them become 178 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: big games. And I believe that Matt Stafford, just like 179 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: all those other quarterbacks I mentioned, and probably even a 180 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: higher end like I would trust probably Matt Stafford equally 181 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: as much, if not more than Josh Allen. He's just 182 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: seen more football more than Lamar, and I love I 183 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: love those guys. Uh so, I feel Sean McVeigh feels 184 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: pretty vindicated, and you can see how excited he was 185 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: on the side line with days like today. The biggest 186 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 1: game of Week three is Monday night matchup Eagles at 187 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, and FanDuel Sports Book is making it even 188 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: bigger because fan duels, giving new customers thirty one odds 189 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: on either team to win. That means you can end 190 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: the NFL weekend right by making one hundred and fifty 191 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: dollars on a five dollar bet. I'm taking the Eagles 192 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,719 Speaker 1: in the points. I love their offensive line. I love 193 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: their defensive line. I love their skill guys and their 194 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: tight ends. Even if urches out against the Cowboys defense, 195 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: now Dak looks like he's playing really well. That offense 196 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 1: is awesome. I do not trust the Cowboys defense, though, 197 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: especially to get pressure against a very very good Eagles 198 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: offensive line. I actually think the Eagles are gonna win 199 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: the division.

Okay, just got done watching Bears 222 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: at the Brownies and actually really enjoyed Burkhardt, who used 223 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: to be paired with John Lynch, now has Greg Olsen, 224 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: the former tight end. It's nice to get some new 225 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: young blood in the analyst chair. So many old stiffs 226 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: who never say anything. It's just hard to watch. Make 227 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: you want to turn on, you know, music or a 228 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: podcast during the game. I really enjoy that crew. Now. 229 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: Kevin's stud you know, probably a top two or three 230 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: play by play guy in the NFL and maybe even 231 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,959 Speaker 1: all of sports. He does baseball two. Uh. But Greg's 232 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: really good. He's very, very, very enjoyable. He's gonna get 233 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: even better as he keeps doing these games and easily 234 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: jumps to the uh the top of the heap. Is 235 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: one of the better former players on television. Bars relatively low, 236 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: but he he's a high level guy. And enjoyed listening 237 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: to him. Justin fields. Uh, he threw get your notepad down. 238 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: This is a fact. I had a double jacket because 239 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: I got a text message. It's true. The Chicago Bears 240 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: had one net passing yard. One net passing yard. I 241 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: said it before the game. You have to do things 242 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,959 Speaker 1: to make it easy on the young guy. You can't 243 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: just drop him back against this defensive line with his 244 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: skill set and expect him to pick you apart, or 245 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: expect him to pick the defense apart. He clearly could 246 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: not do that. They were not rolling out the pocket. 247 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: They were not playing to the guy's strengths. He is 248 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: the third fastest quarterback in the NFL. Lamar Kyler and him, 249 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,319 Speaker 1: they run four fours, get him on the move. Instead, 250 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: they dropped him back like he's paid Manning or Tom Brady. 251 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: Now he's my guy. Known him for a long time. 252 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: John D. Philippo, the quarterback coach, I consider them both friends. 253 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: That today was embarrassing for their coaching staff. It really was. 254 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: I get the guys raw, I get they have been 255 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: preaching to everyone he's not ready. They might be right. 256 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 1: I did not do themselves any favors. As the game 257 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: kept going on. Miles Garrett, who is clearly just just 258 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: pure talent. He's one of the most talented defensive lineman 259 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: in the history of the league. With that size, with 260 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: that explosion, with that speed. Think of in the in 261 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: NFL history, how many freak defensive lineman there have been. 262 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: He's in the top two or three of just pure talent, speed, size, power, 263 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: ability to bend. He's fucking got it all. And they're 264 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: leaving him on an island against Jason Peters, who once 265 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: upon a time was one of the greatest left tackles 266 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: in the history of the league. I mean, probably a 267 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. But he's forty years old. You're leaving 268 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: him on an island against this guy's gonna get He 269 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: can't even touch him. Even when he gets a good 270 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: set let alone, when he's not paying attention to Miles 271 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: goes right around him. They set up the guy to 272 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: be killed. Today was a low point for the Chicago Bears. 273 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: I did not expect him to win, of course not. 274 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: They were I think ten point underdog, uh as well 275 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: as they should have been. The Browns are a good team, 276 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: not a great team. As you see, they've got some flaws. 277 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: Baker can be hit or missed as a pastor run 278 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: games awesome, their defensive lines awesome, and I mean they're 279 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: Miles Garrett. I think Burkhart said it like today was 280 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: a joke. I mean, it looked like you were watching 281 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: I would imagine that's what like if if you look 282 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: at the top defensive lineman that's going to like Ohio 283 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: State or Georgia or Alabama that they're high school games 284 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: would look like Miles Garrett today, where it's just like 285 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: every game, four or five sacks going up against offensive 286 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: lineman who can't even touch him. Quarterback running for his life. 287 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: That's that. But this was the National Football League, this 288 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: was the Chicago Bears, and this notion that like Andy Dalton, 289 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: here's my thing about throwing justin fields in what Andy 290 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: Dalton would have been killed as well today? What the 291 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: hell is the difference? You might as well just let 292 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: the young guy attempt to learn through this. Now you 293 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: have to put plays in the playbook that's conduced to 294 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: his success. Get him on the move. He is not 295 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: just gonna drop back and play like you know he's 296 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: Drew Brees or Philip Rivers or Peyton Manning. That is 297 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: not this guy's skill set, especially for a rookie. Get 298 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: him moving right, get him moving left, utilize his legs. 299 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: Why didn't they run some option, Why didn't they steal 300 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: some plays from uh, the Baltimore Ravens. They just went 301 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: in like Andy Dalton was their quarterback complete head scratcher, 302 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: and they got clowned embarrassed on national television. I mean, 303 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: I'm in California. This was the only game I truly 304 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: got just on my national television s late in the morning. 305 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: Thank god for red Zone, Thank God for the Ryder Cup, 306 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: because I mean, I was, you know, I was feeling 307 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: bad for the guy. I was like, is this is 308 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: this kid gonna make it? You? You finally get a start, 309 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: you get drafted really high, and then you just get 310 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: thrown to the wolves like that. It shows you this 311 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: league is about coaching. This league is about adapting. Nothing 312 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: by there's me more in the sport of football than 313 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: this is us. This is what we do. I remember 314 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 1: this this summer listening to Cliff Kingsbury talk to Sean 315 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: McVeigh and Peter Schrager on his podcast, and he dropped 316 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: the line like, you know, I was watching some tape 317 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 1: this offseason and I loved what Sean did with so 318 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: and so concept. He's like, but we don't have that 319 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: in our playbook. That's not what we do. Imagine saying 320 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: that out loud as a coach, that's not what we do. 321 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: We don't major in those concepts. Well, yeah, I mean 322 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 1: Bill Walsh didn't run certain plays that other organizations ran, 323 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 1: but if he saw it in the play work, he 324 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: put it in the fucking playbook. Right, isn't the goal. 325 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: It's not to It's just to do things that work. 326 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: So if you see other people running plays and it's 327 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: not quote unquote your core philosophy, but you go, hey, 328 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: that works, wouldn't you institute it? Think about whatever business 329 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: you're in right now. You could be in the insurance business. 330 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: But if you go into a restaurant and you see 331 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: something that you can utilize in your own business, you 332 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: don't steal that. I listen to people talk just about 333 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: sports life all day. I have the TV on, I 334 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: have a podcast going. I'm constantly listening to other people talk, 335 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: and whenever I hear something that gets my brain going 336 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: and go, god, I could use that for the show, 337 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: I steal it and then I talk about it. You know, 338 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: is it? What are you doing? I I just I'm 339 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: at a loss that they had all these plays like 340 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: they were rolling out. Basically, Andy Dalton or a true 341 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 1: pocket quarterback on a team that Ryan pace is an embarrassment. 342 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 1: The offensive line that he built on his team four 343 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 1: years in This is not year one. Hell, he's been 344 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 1: the GM there longer r. This is actually Naggi's fourth year. 345 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: He'd been there well before with John Fox. This you know, 346 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: it sounds like I'm being critical of the coaching staff, 347 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: and I am, but this is equally on Ryan Pace, 348 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: who built an offensive line that's a laughing stock. I 349 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 1: mean an absolute laughing stock. Their only hope to play 350 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 1: left tackle was a guy that they drafted this year 351 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: that had red flags about back issues coming into the draft. 352 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: They had to call forty year old Jason Peters. I 353 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: think he's thirty nine, but I rounded up who was 354 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: retired basically too then play for them and immediately start them. 355 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: That's what That's how desperate the Bears were. And now 356 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,199 Speaker 1: they're in the situation where and I say this all 357 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 1: the time about rookie quarterbacks. He saw what Trevor Lawrence 358 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: through a bad pick today McCorkle in New England looks awful. 359 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 1: It's hard because this game is very, very difficult. It 360 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: would it's hard for thirty two year olds who have 361 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 1: been the league for ten years, let alone for twenty 362 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: year old rookie quarterbacks. You have to put things in 363 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: the playbook that you know, put their strengths up at 364 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: the forefront of your offense that put them in position 365 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: to succeed. It's not about what you know. Coaches love 366 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: talking about how much they worked during the week, how 367 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,360 Speaker 1: much time they spend in the film room by themselves. 368 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,159 Speaker 1: No one cares. You don't get any credit for that. 369 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,959 Speaker 1: Comes Sunday. How many hours you slept? Okay, you average 370 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: three hours of sleep Monday through Thursday. You want a 371 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 1: cookie because I'm watching your players, they don't know what's 372 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 1: going on. And then just basic things like you spend 373 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 1: all this time in a film room and you can't 374 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: put help for Jason Peters right, or if you're Ryan Pace, 375 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 1: you spent all this time working and scouting these players, 376 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 1: and this is the offensive line you roll out. Should 377 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: be ashamed, I mean absolutely awful. Um not not, it's 378 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 1: gonna be it's gonna be rough sailing for Justin Fields 379 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 1: just because they can't protect them and his his planks. 380 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: I'll get rid of the ball fast. It's not fair 381 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: to ask a twenty one year old guy to be 382 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: able to think like he's a ten year vet. Yet 383 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:46,679 Speaker 1: you have to ask him to do things that he 384 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 1: has a chance to execute with his own skill set 385 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: when he's making his first couple starts in the NFL, 386 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 1: especially against you know, arguably the best defensive end in 387 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: the league right now, when you have tackles that you know, 388 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 1: might I'll be able to block merror you. So it's just, uh, 389 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: it was a shame what we witnessed on Sunday morning. Okay, 390 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff we could get to. You know, 391 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: I have take on USC will probably have to say 392 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: that till Tuesday. But look ahead toward a big, huge 393 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: Monday night game. Obviously, these two brands, I mean, the 394 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: Cowboys arguably a top three or four brand in the 395 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: world in sports. The Eagles a little more regional, but 396 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: their region, Philly is a massive market. This game is 397 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: gonna be huge, and there's a lot on the line. 398 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: Like Washington isn't that good? They just they got house 399 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: today by the Bills. We know the Giants stink. Whoever 400 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: wins this game is gonna be in pretty good position, 401 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: and really even the loser wouldn't be dead. But whoever 402 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: wins this game, to me, these two teams are competing 403 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: for the NFC East all season long. But and you know, 404 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: I am not hot take guy. If I say something, 405 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: I believe it. And I've been thinking about this really 406 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: all week leading up to this game because all off 407 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 1: season Nick Sirianni, what people are making fun of him? Hell, 408 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: I including myself. You watched the press conferences. It had 409 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: some Tom Sulla vibe part of it too. We had 410 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 1: never heard of the guy, were like, where did this 411 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: guy come from? Now? He can't speak in press conferences. 412 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: And then some of my guys on the team as 413 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: training camp went on, They're like, bro, I think we're 414 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: pretty good. I think we're not bad. He's actually pretty 415 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: good with the team. I started hearing from the inside, 416 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: like he's pretty impressive. I love this guy that I 417 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: watched his team the first two weeks, I go, you 418 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: know what, I might need to back up on my 419 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 1: Sirianni's over his head tache. It's pretty good. His team 420 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: last week against the Niners came out firing their physical 421 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: They still need to find an identity, but they have talent. 422 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:49,159 Speaker 1: Their lines are good. But Nick Sirianni, in his third 423 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 1: game as an NFL head coach, going on the road 424 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: to the Cowboys home opener, under no circumstances can Mike 425 00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: McCarthy lose this game. Listen, there are legitimate questions about 426 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy. Is he any good? I say it all 427 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: the time. I'm not always sure what Mike's doing. He's 428 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: an offensive guy, but he doesn't call the offensive place 429 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore does. He didn't hire hire Kellen Moore, so 430 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 1: it's not like his you know, Byron Leftwich. He didn't 431 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: bring him along, right, That's that is not his guy. 432 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: Or like Pete Carroll with all the defensive guys, you know, 433 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,360 Speaker 1: like the Dan Quinns and the Gus Bradleys, like Mike 434 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: mcgarthy has absolutely zero to do with Kellen Moore. He 435 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:33,400 Speaker 1: inherited the guy, zero connection. And Kellen runs the offense, 436 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 1: and as we see when Doc is healthy, that offense 437 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: is good. But Mike goes nothing about defense. Hell, he 438 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 1: hired Mike Nolan last year. And the special teams. He 439 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,159 Speaker 1: has one of the better special teams coordinators in the 440 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: league in Fossil's kid, who's good as well bones. So 441 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: I'm just he's just kind of standing there on the 442 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: sideline of Cowboys gear. You gotta win this game, and 443 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, like I thought they could have justified firing 444 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: him the last offseason. It was that bat It was 445 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 1: that big of an embarrassment. And part of it is, 446 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 1: like I say it all the time, it's not just 447 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: the coaches you hire, especially as an older coach, when 448 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,880 Speaker 1: you sit out a year, that reflects you. You had 449 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: a year to pick your coaching staff, and you chose 450 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: Mike Nolan just because fifteen years earlier he had hired 451 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: you on the forty niner staff. Like you guys are 452 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: both rich since then, you don't need any you know, 453 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,640 Speaker 1: friends doing a friend to favor at that point when 454 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: you have that much on the line, And clearly it 455 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: was forced to fire him. Hell maybe he even realized, like, 456 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 1: I gotta get this guy out of there. Now you 457 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: have Dak, you have a fully loaded offense. The defense 458 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: actually tackled pretty well last week against the Chargers, made 459 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 1: some plays under Dan Quinn. You gotta beat Nick. Sirianni. 460 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: Can you imagine if I told you three months ago 461 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: that Mike McCarthy with a healthy team, I guess Lyle 462 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: Collins is now suspended because he tried to bribe one 463 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,959 Speaker 1: of the whoever was doing the drug test. Which listen, 464 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 1: if I was in that position and I knew I 465 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: was getta get suspended, and I was a rich guy, 466 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 1: I probably would do. You know the owner in my 467 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 1: backyard Eddie to Bartel though once you know, I used 468 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: to bribe a lot of people. Now, when you get caught, 469 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: you look like an idiot. But you know bribes happen. 470 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 1: You'd be naive to think they don't in every business. 471 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: You know a lot of brown bags with cash. Now, 472 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: maybe Ben Mo that's going on. So if you're not 473 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,439 Speaker 1: doing it, that's fine. I don't hold it against you, 474 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: but just know people do it, and I would imagine 475 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: Lyle Collins is not the first player to attempt that move. Like, bro, 476 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: I don't want to get suspended. How much would it 477 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 1: cost you for you to pee in the cup? Could 478 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,880 Speaker 1: you do that? I'll give you twenty dollars cash right now. 479 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 1: If I was that dude and you're only making like 480 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: a hundred after taxes, how much you're really seeing like seventy, 481 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: you're like, you know, twenty cash, make it forty fifty. 482 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,120 Speaker 1: You don't think he'd say yeah, but clearly I didn't 483 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 1: even read the story. I just laughed, McCarthy's gotta win 484 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: this game. The Cowboys If you're losing Nick Sirianni week 485 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 1: three at home in the home opener. Uh, what what 486 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: do we even doing keeping McCarthy on? And I'm not 487 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: trying to overreact to just one game. It's only week three, 488 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 1: But if if Mike McCarthy can't beat the Philadelphia Eagles 489 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: in a division where it might just take nine wins, 490 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: like nine and eight, more than likely the Giants are 491 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: gonna win three games. Washington probably win six or seven. 492 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: You know, the Eagles probably be around seven or eight. 493 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 1: So I'd say nine and eight would win you the 494 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: NFC East.
