1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: Welcome to the best of the week for What's Right 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: with Nick Right the best takes and moments from this 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:11,039 Speaker 1: week on the show. Enjoy where I am, though Demons 4 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: is fully relaxed and comfortable and relieved about the Chiefs. 5 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,240 Speaker 1: Let's get right to the game of the weekend. 6 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, so we all saw what happened on Sunday. Your 7 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 2: Chiefs crushed my Ravens. We were obviously riddled with injuries. 8 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 2: Our quarterback went down very early into the third quarter. 9 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 2: But she said after starting and two, that is not 10 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 2: hold on. 11 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: Your quarterback did not go down early in the third. 12 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,480 Speaker 1: He went down at the end of the third quarter 13 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,840 Speaker 1: when when he tapped out when they were down seventeen. 14 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,639 Speaker 2: But go ahead, all right, you said your Chiefs had 15 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 2: the chance to rewrite history after starting oh and two 16 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 2: after this game, do you think they did so well? 17 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: Listen, they studied themselves and the ow and to start, 18 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: what they had to do was beat the Giants. That 19 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: was an ugly game that obviously turned on the tackle 20 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: that turned the tide. And then they had to go 21 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: take care of business against the Ravens. And take care 22 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: of business they did, and not shockingly, the moment the 23 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: Chiefs had close to a competent receiving corps. The offense 24 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: looked good again the last And we don't have to 25 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: do this full history in depth, but it is worth 26 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: mentioning that the Chiefs traded away Tyreek Hill mahomes snap 27 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: in an offseason changed the way he played based on 28 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: the receivers. They had one league MVP. The very next year, 29 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: dealt with more drops than any quarterback literally in modern 30 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: NFL history, figured it out by the playoffs, won the 31 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. The next year, dealt with the most injured 32 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: wide receiver and running back room in the NFL, got 33 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: all the way to the Super Bowl. And the next year, 34 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: which was this year, walked into the season with his 35 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: number one receiver suspended for six games and his number 36 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: two receiver knocked out of Game one three plays in, 37 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: And it looked shaky for a bit. And I told 38 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: you guys that I knew real like I guess insight, 39 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: that that Chargers Week one game plan, Xavier Worthy was 40 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: the ePIE center of it, and him being knocked out 41 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: three plays in threw everything off. But this the fatalism 42 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: surrounding the Chiefs from almost everyone else in the media 43 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: was and I don't want to be a scold, and 44 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: I don't want to be more knowing than I naturally am. 45 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: But it was embarrassing, and it was so fickle and 46 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: so myopic, my opic, pardon me, as if they don't 47 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: have a Hall of Fame head coach, a Hall of 48 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 1: Fame caliber decoordinator, and the most talented quarterback to ever live, 49 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: that they couldn't figure it out and it was as 50 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: if they were getting boat raced in these early games, 51 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: or as if they were playing terrible teams and losing. 52 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: Neither were true. Now, I want to make this clear. 53 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: I don't think the Chiefs are, you know, quote fully back. 54 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: If back means being the highest scoring team in the league, 55 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: I don't think that's who they're going to be. I 56 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: don't think the Chiefs have solved all their issues. I 57 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: still think the running back room leaves a lot to 58 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: be desired, and their ability to get pressure on the 59 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: opposing quarterback without sending a blitz at the moment leaves 60 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: a lot to be desired. But you look, if you 61 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: going into the Baltimore game, if you looked around the AFC, 62 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: the only team that really you could say had no 63 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: holes to poke at it was the Chargers going into 64 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: Week four, but they already were dealing with some potentially 65 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: mounting injuries that sadly, they dealt with more of during 66 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: Week four in a game they had no business losing 67 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: but lost, And so the Bills were undefeated. But the 68 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: Bills defense had looked shaky, and they they had and 69 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: have played three consecutive games against just bottom feeders. The 70 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: Ravens were even this huge benefit of the doubt despite 71 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: having the same record as the Chiefs, and then every 72 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 1: other team that had a good record, like the Steelers 73 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: or the Jags, you had real reason to be concerned about. 74 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 2: And so who's first? I mean, I don't know if 75 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 2: this matters who's first slay the games? Who do you 76 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 2: think has had the tougher schedule through the first four 77 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 2: weeks between the Ravens and the Chiefs. 78 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: I think it's been almost identical. Okay, So like they 79 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: played each other. So if we want to call that, 80 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: like I so call the Chiefs Ravens game, you know, 81 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 1: a wash so to speak. The Ravens played the Browns. 82 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: The Chiefs played the Giants, which is the I think 83 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: the Giants are better than the Browns, but the Browns 84 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: have a better defense, you know what I mean. Call 85 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: that a wash. And then the Ravens played the Bills, 86 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: the Chiefs played the Eagles. The Ravens player, I guess 87 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: we could do Bills, Chargers, Eagles, Lions, you know what 88 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: I mean. Like, I think the Bills are a little 89 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: better than the Chargers, but I think the Eagles are 90 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 1: a little better than the Lions. So to me, it's 91 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: very very similar. Like as far as what the opening 92 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: slate was, now, you could argue the Chief Ravens game 93 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: being in Kansas City, like the Ravens having to go 94 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 1: on the road for that tilts it. But the other 95 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: piece of it that was maddening to me and has 96 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: been even more maddening in the after There have been 97 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: two things that have happened in the aftermath of this 98 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: game that really drive me crazy. And I had kind 99 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: of a rough moment near the end of yesterday's show 100 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: on TV with Wilds yesterday. I'll apologize to him when 101 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: I see him today. It's not really the tone of 102 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: our show, but I got angry when I shouldn't have 103 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: the And I mean I don't think he took it 104 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: like terribly, Like I think he might be surprised when 105 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: I apologize to him, but maybe not. But it Two 106 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: things have happened that to me are so frustrating. The 107 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: first one is I understand the Ravens during the game 108 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 1: lost Rokwan Smith and late in the game lost Humphrey 109 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: and once the game was over over over lost Nate Wiggins. 110 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: But they went into the game missing four starters. Everyone 111 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: and the defense already had been bad all year. Everyone 112 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: knew that and picked them. That's fine, by the way, 113 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: like you can pick whoever you want. And I'm not 114 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: acting like that game was a lot for the the 115 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: way it played out, the Chiefs had full control, but 116 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: you know, something goes differently. Maybe not, but to know 117 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: the team has those injuries going in and then afterwards 118 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: be like, wow, of course Kansas City did that. Look 119 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,119 Speaker 1: at all the injuries on defense. It's just bullshit. It's 120 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: the if your handicap going into the game was I 121 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: think the Races at full strength or better, but they're 122 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: not full strength. Therefore I think the Chiefs will win. 123 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: And then you see that game be like, yeah, that's 124 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: what I thought, so be it. But that wasn't anyone's handicap. 125 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: The handicap was even with the Ravens defensive injuries, the 126 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: Chiefs offense, with Patrick freaking Mahomes on it and Andy 127 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: Reid calling the plays, is so broken that they're not 128 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: going to be able to move the ball. I mean 129 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: Vegas had as underdogs as well. Correct, Yeah, like which 130 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: it's so again two and a half pour underdogs at 131 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: home to a one and two team that the two 132 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: competent offenses that they had played moved the ball at 133 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: will and so to then Monday morning quarterback be like, oh, well, 134 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: obviously this was gonna happen. That's not what you believed. 135 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: That wasn't people's picks. That wasn't people's opinion. The conversation 136 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: going into the game was who needed it more? Kansas City? 137 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: Who do you trust more? Baltimore Good I watched Orlowski? 138 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: Do the Ravens are built to beat the Chiefs? What 139 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: it's like? No, they're built to beat the Chiefs and 140 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: the Bengals. They're just they they're not built to beat 141 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: the I think you said the Chargers in the line 142 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: something I don't know I it was. And the other 143 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: piece of it was, and this is my other level 144 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: of frustration because while Ronnie Stanley did go out during 145 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:42,719 Speaker 1: this game. The Ravens offense is healthy, and it was that, well, 146 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 1: the Chiefs aren't gonna be able to slow down a 147 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: Ravens offense that no one's been able to slow down. 148 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: They score thirty plus in every game, and that, of 149 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: course is not what happened. And so that frustrated me. 150 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: And the other thing that frustrated me, I had nothing 151 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: to do with Brewer Wilds, but it had to do 152 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: with me listening to Simmons Pod as I do every 153 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: Monday morning, listening to Greg Rosenthal's NFL Daily Pod, as 154 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: I do every day, listening to you know a lot 155 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 1: of them, and watching the Monday morning shows and all 156 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: of it. And I was like, I could not believe 157 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: that I was going to once again have to be, 158 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: I guess, the bad guy in pointing out the obvious 159 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: fact that this game turned on a totally predictable, yet inexplicable, 160 00:10:54,559 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: horrific Lamar pick and then we're up seven to three 161 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: with the ball on first down around midfield and Lamar 162 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: pedaled backwards and then threw up a prayer for no 163 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: reason whatsoever. A guy who has he and again people 164 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: can be mad at me, but here are the facts 165 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: of it. And every year people get mad at me, 166 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: and then every year we get another piece of evidence 167 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: that I'm stone right about this, and then every year 168 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: I have to listen to folks stick their fingers in 169 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: the ears and be like, nope, actually wrong. Lamar's the 170 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: greatest passer of the football we've ever seen, is Iyer's 171 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: passer rating. Ever, never turns the ball over and all 172 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: the big game, playoffs, games against the Chief stuff is 173 00:11:53,880 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: just dumb random luck. In the last thirty games Lamar 174 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: is played, he has multiple turnovers in three of them, 175 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: the AFC Championship game against Kansas City, the Divisional round 176 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: against Buffalo, and Sunday against Kansas City. I guess that's 177 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: a coincidence. In the last thirty games Lamar has played, 178 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 1: he has thrown seven interceptions, which is remarkable that he's 179 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: only thrown seven. He had like a fifty to four 180 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: touchdown interception ratio. You know, in this stretch he moved 181 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: the playoffs. It was crazy. The interceptions are as follows. 182 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: Four regular season interceptions prior to Sunday, three of which 183 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: we played the video hit his receiver in the hands 184 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 1: and then either got like bobbled or stolen, one of 185 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: which Bateman just stopped running his route, but four passes 186 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: that did not need to be picked, the only three 187 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: in the last thirty games, the only three interceptions Lamar 188 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: has thrown where it's like, what the hell was that 189 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: AFC Championship game into triple coverage in the fourth quarter 190 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: against Kansas City Divisional round game, early against both against 191 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: Buffalo and the one Sunday. He also in those three 192 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: games had inexplicable fumbles out of nowhere. To pretend like 193 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: that is coincidental when we once again saw Lamar throwing 194 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: his helmet out of sorts, it's just dishonest. And I 195 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: know Bill Pollion was mean in his commentary towards the 196 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 1: guy eight years ago, and I know some of the 197 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 1: world first actors in media, sports or otherwise tried to 198 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: pigeonhole him as a wide receiver in a pretty nakedly 199 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: at times racist way. I get that, and I understand 200 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: because of that there has been a almost protectionism and 201 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: a want for folks to see him succeed at the 202 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: highest level. I don't disagree with that, but why do 203 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: we have to pretend what is obviously true is not 204 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: Why do we have to pretend that this is a 205 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: unique thing we haven't seen across sports Our whole lives 206 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: the all time great, legendary player who sadly gets tight 207 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: in his biggest spots and plays his worst in his 208 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: biggest moments. That's part of sports man. And nobody was 209 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: going back and taking away Peyton Manning's MVPs and his 210 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: records because he struggled massively in the biggest spons But 211 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: we weren't pretending it was coincidental either, talking about the 212 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning face, talked about how he got anxious, talked 213 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: about how his brother was like the bizarro version of him, 214 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: a holy mediocre player for giant expanses of his career 215 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: who somehow, in the biggest sponts played his absolute best, 216 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: And for some reason with Lamar, we got to pretend 217 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: it's not happening. I gotta and listen. I don't know 218 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: this guy, but I think he does good work. I 219 00:15:54,240 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: think he's a smart commentator. But I Deontay Lee at 220 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: the Ringer. I before the Lamar fumble, I tweeted Lamar's 221 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: basically gone two years without making that this was on 222 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: the pick, without making that exact type of mistake except 223 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: for in the twenty three AFC Championship game, of the 224 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: twenty four Divisional round and just now against Kansas City 225 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: probably a coincidence, and Deontay Lee quote tweets it right. 226 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: Nobody can identify the intrinsic traits of a winner and 227 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: loser like Nick Wright. He is the seer. It's like, no, bro, 228 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to tell you. I'm not trying to 229 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: act like I look in at guy's eyes and can 230 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: determine whether he has the IT factor. I'm just trying 231 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: to act like I've watched this guy's whole fucking career, 232 00:16:53,160 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: and from day one, he has been a guy who, 233 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: in the postseason or in these instances now when he 234 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:12,679 Speaker 1: sees Patrick across the field, plays his worst football. And 235 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: we can act like it's a small sample. But he's 236 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 1: played the Chiefs seven times, He's played i think ten 237 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: playoff games, like it's not a small sample. And my 238 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 1: frustration is and again, so this is the other thing, Demonse, 239 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: and this well, I'll say before we keep it moving, 240 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 1: and maybe Demondse, you'll tell me this is unfair. I 241 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: don't think if I'm a Ravens fan, I don't think. 242 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,360 Speaker 1: The thing that I came out of that game most 243 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 1: disheartened about was the defense. And the reason for that 244 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:59,479 Speaker 1: is obviously, if the defense is this bad, they are 245 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 1: drawing you know what I mean, They can't have the 246 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: worst defense in football. But what to me was so 247 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: disheartening about it if you're a Ravens fan, is you're 248 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,959 Speaker 1: now gonna have in the back of your head, even 249 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 1: if we get the defense fixed by when we get 250 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 1: to these moments against Josh or Patrick, are we getting 251 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: MVP Lamar Or are we getting throwing his head back, 252 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: slamming the helmet, taking terrible sacks, throwing off his back 253 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: foot Lamar I That to me is the concern.

I did not think we would be starting 289 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: with the Browns third string quarterback. However, because of the 290 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: last twenty four hours and because this show loves itself 291 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: some meta media discussion, we are going to start with 292 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 1: the Browns third string quarterback. Go right ahead, pal. 293 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 2: No, I'm kidding. 294 00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: Jack stricked me. Hold on, I was about a say, hey, 295 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 1: Demanzi's Mike's not working. I just want I went to 296 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: see if my headset got disconnected. That was really good 297 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,959 Speaker 1: mouthing of the words. You totally tricked me. All right, 298 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: good job there. I mean, that's for watching watching on YouTube. 299 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: You got the bit. If you're the if you're listening 300 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: to us on podcasts, it doesn't really play. But good job, 301 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 1: all right, go ahead. 302 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 2: So Joe Flacco has been benched and Dylan Gabriel is 303 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 2: the new quarterback. One and a shadeur responded to that 304 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 2: news and oppressor and maybe Rex Ryan with a little 305 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 2: bit of meme or mimi action thoughts on this. 306 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: Okay, So let me let me give the audience the 307 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: very short history of this. Okay. A week ago, Shador 308 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 1: gave a somewhat innocuous but probably poorly worded comment when 309 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: he said, you know, I'm paraphrasing, but I think this 310 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: is going to be to an exact quote. You know, 311 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: I watched the league and I'm better than some of 312 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: those guys out there starting. I didn't think it was 313 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 1: a huge deal. I think it. I think that one 314 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: of the reasons demonse that I thought that comment was 315 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: uh likely to not go great for him was because 316 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 1: one could argue these starting quarterback in the league playing 317 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:39,439 Speaker 1: the worst was his own, you know what. I so 318 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 1: if he had if he was third string for the 319 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: Bills and said, you know, I watched the league, and 320 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: you know, I feel like I'm better than some of 321 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,479 Speaker 1: the guys starting, I think the exact quote was, if 322 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: you see the quarterback play in the league, right now 323 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: I know I'm capable of doing better than that. Then 324 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: I think it's less of a problem. When a lot 325 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: of people felt like and feel like the Brown starting 326 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: quarterback was playing the worst of everyone in the league, 327 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: it could have been construed as an unintentional shot at Flacco. 328 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: I don't think it was that at all, but it 329 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 1: was just a little trickier of a spot. Does that 330 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: part make sense what I'm describing there? Yeah? Okay. Then 331 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: Rex Ryan goes on TV and makes a fool of himself. Yea, 332 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: Like every time I see Rex Ryan, he's just talking 333 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: about how much someone sucks. It's like the whole bit. 334 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: It's that Russell Wilson can't play dead in the Western 335 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: it's his career's. 336 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 2: Over people like they're the reason, you know, every problem 337 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 2: in his life that he has. 338 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I don't personally like that his style. I'm 339 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: just gonna be transparent on this. I don't know Rex personally, 340 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: I'm not I don't want please awful announcing. Don't make 341 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 1: this a nick right offict rates. I'm not trying to 342 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,439 Speaker 1: do that. I'm just being honest. I think Rex like 343 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: goes on TV, it's like this guy sucks, this coordinator 344 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: is an idiot. I do a better job with that 345 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 1: bang I'm out here, and so I just don't love that. 346 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: Let me put it like he would it just it. 347 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: He would not fit on first things first, you know 348 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: what I mean. But I mean the different styles are 349 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 1: different folks, and I wouldn't fit on other shows whatever. 350 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 1: I'm really trying to be kind here, but be honest 351 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:46,719 Speaker 1: with my opinion pretty clearly. Oh and one of the 352 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: things he said, he said two things that really struck 353 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: me with the Shardor commentary. One was he basically reported 354 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: that Shadoor is not doing the work. He was like, 355 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 1: get in there and study. If I know this, the 356 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: whole league knows this. It's like wow, like Rex Ryan 357 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: elbowing Schefter off the breaking news beat, Like I hadn't. 358 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: I had not seen that reported anywhere that Shador has 359 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 1: been lazy or not paying attention to meetings. That would 360 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: be news. But the other thing he said was, you know, 361 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: shut up and dribble. Not quite shut up and dribble, 362 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: but shut your mouth. So Shadoor yesterday was asked about 363 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel being named the starter and about how he 364 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: was not elevated to second string because that's the other 365 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: piece of news here. It didn't go flat. Typically if 366 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: a veteran quarterback, not always, but I shouldn't even say typically. 367 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 1: Sometimes when a veteran quarterback is benched, he then goes 368 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,439 Speaker 1: to the bottom of the depth chart. He wasn't a veteran. 369 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: But last year when Bryce Young got benched for Andy Dalton, 370 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: that that first game, Bryce wasn't the backup, you know 371 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: what I mean, Like it was he went all the 372 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 1: way down the ladder. And then so there was an 373 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 1: opportunity that was going to be Gabriel one, Schador two, 374 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: Flaco three that ended up not happening, just Gabriel and 375 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: Flacco flips your door stayed three. He was asked about 376 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 1: all of this, and he smiled and in my opinion, 377 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: looked like he always does, which is charming, and seemingly 378 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: talked without talking, moved his mouth and I actually wonder 379 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: if a professional, I wonder if he was giving real answers, 380 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, yeah, I mean he 381 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: was clearly he wasn't like, you know, just speaking gibberish. 382 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: I now, I don't know if the sentences were you know, 383 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: a inaudible. I was told, you know, on TV. They 384 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 1: told me not to talk, so this is me not 385 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: talking or I don't know if it was an inaudible. 386 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: I'm happy for Dylan to be getting this opportunity. I'm 387 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: still working hard. But he was clearly saying sentences, but 388 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: they were dead silent. And the reason I wanted to 389 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: start the show with it is because this is just 390 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 1: a perfect, just perfect moment for today's media and social media. 391 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 1: Because if you want, which I don't want to do, 392 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: to kill Shador, it's an example of just want and immaturity. 393 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 1: I don't want to kill Shador. And if you want 394 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: to blindly support shaudor the criticism he gets from this 395 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: will be an example the kid can't win. He talks 396 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 1: and he gets yelled at. He literally doesn't talk, and 397 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 1: you kill him anyway. I don't want to do that either, 398 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: because I'm not an idiot. What everyone, every adult has 399 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: a responsibility to set down for a moment, their priors 400 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: and to ask themselves this honest question. If Shadoor was 401 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: your best friend, if he were your I don't want 402 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: to say son because Prime has I think, not helped 403 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: him on this, and I'll get to that in a second. 404 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: And if he were your godson or your nephew, or 405 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 1: you were his high school guidance counselor who he stayed 406 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: in touch with. And he called you up and was like, hey, 407 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: do you see what Rex Ryan said about me? Yeah? 408 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: I saw, And you saw that Gabriel's the starter now right, Yeah? 409 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: I saw. So when they asked me about it, listen 410 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: to what my plan is. I'm going to answer their 411 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: questions silently. What you're gonna like, write it down? No, 412 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: I'm going to stand in front of the cameras and 413 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 1: act like I'm talking, but not make any sounds. How 414 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: awesome does that? How awesome of an idea is that 415 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: all of us would say, don't fucking do that. Man, 416 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: it's a bad idea, fair or not bad idea? Why 417 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 1: they He's told me I shouldn't talk, buddy, Here's all 418 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:08,719 Speaker 1: you got to say. You're asked about Dylan. Really happy 419 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 1: for Dylan. You know he and I obviously same draft class. 420 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: We've been working together this whole time. Joe's been great 421 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: to all of us. You know, it's coach's choice to 422 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: make a change, and you know I'm Dylan works hard, 423 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: He's a really good player. I'm excited you know I'm 424 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: excited to watch him. Well, are you upset? You know 425 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: you didn't get bumped up to second straying? You know, 426 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: do you listen? I I believe in myself. I'm not 427 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: gonna lie to you guys act like I don't. I 428 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: believe that I will one day be a starting quarterback 429 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: in this league. But my job right now is to 430 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: keep doing what you know, what I've been doing, studying, 431 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 1: working hard, being a good teammate, and hopefully, you know, 432 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: we can get back on the winning track this weekend. 433 00:30:55,360 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: That's all you have to do. Everything else is foolishness. 434 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: And anyone acting like acknowledging that him doing a bit 435 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: in the locker room in front of the media as 436 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: the third string quarterback is good for him or smart 437 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: or productive is a liar. 438 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 2: It's also not the third string quarterback. Apparently, what do 439 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 2: you mean what? It was Joe and then it was Dylan, 440 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 2: and then they moved him down below Joe again, like. 441 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: That he is still third string? Like no, yeah, no, 442 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: he's yeah, he stayed third He didn't know they listen, 443 00:31:54,000 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know how he's looked at practice 444 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: at this point. I don't know how he is in 445 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: film study. I know that he played one preseason game 446 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 1: looked awesome, played another preseason game looked bad. I like 447 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 1: all of these. So I don't know if in that 448 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: building there are different camps, like Stefanski is deeply invested 449 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 1: in Gabriel, but the owner wanted Shador. And so I 450 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: don't know any of that. I don't None of that 451 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: is relevant to this piece of it. Just control what 452 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: you can control. Bro. You are not right now getting 453 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 1: the opportunity to show what you can do on the 454 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 1: field publicly, So all you can do is show that 455 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: you can be a true professional privately or you know, 456 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: in your role as backup quarterback. And this is what 457 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 1: And I did Cam Newton's show a couple days ago, 458 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: and Cam has real, excuse me, sympathy for Shador, and 459 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: Cam feels like a lot of what he det like that. 460 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,479 Speaker 1: You know, Cam had a real hard time when he 461 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: had to be a backup and Cam felt his celebrity 462 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: and aura worked against him at those things. And I 463 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: said this to Cam, and I'll expand on it here. 464 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: One is, while I respect the I respect folks who 465 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: believe Shador does have starting caliber talent and traits and 466 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 1: will be a good NFL quarterback. I'm not the A 467 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 1: lot of people I respect have that opinion and fair 468 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 1: no problem Cam was talking about him as if Cam 469 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:14,319 Speaker 1: and Shadoor were at all similar prospects. They weren't. Man 470 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 1: like Shadoor is whether he should have been or not. 471 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 1: He's a fifth round pick. And the other piece of 472 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: it that I really wish somebody close to Shador would 473 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 1: really explain to him, as this man you have, maybe 474 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: it shouldn't be this way, but it is. You have 475 00:34:53,280 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 1: one of the only jobs left in modern America where 476 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 1: celebrity works against you. In almost every other job, I 477 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 1: don't care what it is. If it's like, hey, I 478 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: can do the job well. Also, oddly, I'm very famous 479 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 1: on TikTok. That doesn't hurt you, It usually helps you. 480 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:33,240 Speaker 1: The only job where your bosses want you to be 481 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 1: as anonymous as possible is back up NFL quarterback. And 482 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:46,240 Speaker 1: now maybe the the organizations are too stodgy. Maybe that's 483 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:50,320 Speaker 1: stuck it, you know, maybe that'll change. It ain't changing 484 00:35:50,400 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 1: this month. And I do think we have seen over 485 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,320 Speaker 1: the course of these few months some of the reason 486 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 1: that once teams and this was the seminal moment. Once 487 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:19,440 Speaker 1: he was not greted as franchise quarterback coming out of 488 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 1: the draft top ten, top fifteen pick, and he was 489 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: greated as backup who could one day compete to be 490 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: a starter. That his job description changed massively, and he 491 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:47,400 Speaker 1: is still carrying himself as if it hadn't. And I 492 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 1: am not asking for the kid to be humbled. I 493 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 1: hate that commentary. I'm not asking for him to change 494 00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 1: who he is at a personal level. I am asking 495 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:09,439 Speaker 1: for him to recognize that this ship works against him 496 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:18,799 Speaker 1: and his dad, who everybody loves, myself included instagramming in 497 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:24,920 Speaker 1: response to this video, all these laughing emojis and writing 498 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 1: good one son, you did that is not helpful. Go 499 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 1: to Monte. Go ahead, I can tell you I want 500 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:34,799 Speaker 1: to see. 501 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,320 Speaker 2: No. I didn't know that. I didn't know that happened. 502 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,839 Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, you were a 503 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 2: one step like I guess he was still third on 504 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 2: the death chart, but Joe Flapp was getting pinched. You 505 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 2: were a step closer in the direction that you wanted 506 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 2: to be added. So there it was unnecessary. 507 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 1: And this is what's frustrating to me, And this is 508 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 1: why I wanted to leave the show with it because 509 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:02,319 Speaker 1: it is a my favorite topic. Are when sports a 510 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:07,719 Speaker 1: sports discussion is a microcosm for a bigger, worldwide, you know, 511 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:14,279 Speaker 1: holistic discussion. There are going to be so many disingenuous 512 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 1: fools that today try to act like see, damned if 513 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,719 Speaker 1: you do, damned if you don't, you tell him to 514 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: shut up, and then when he literally does, you criticize 515 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,320 Speaker 1: him for that too, as if we we can't hold 516 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 1: multiple thoughts in our head at the same time, and 517 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 1: as if we're not all functioning adults that recognize this 518 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:47,720 Speaker 1: was he was running a bit. He is doing forty 519 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:51,239 Speaker 1: five seconds to stand up in the locker room as 520 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,879 Speaker 1: the third string quarterback when all you've got to do 521 00:38:56,080 --> 00:39:03,240 Speaker 1: is not not do a single thing. That is going 522 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 1: to add to the questions the media is going to 523 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 1: ask Stefanski and then by your time, bro, because Gabriel 524 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 1: is not going to start the last thirteen games. I 525 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 1: don't think he's good enough. Listen, if they are going 526 00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:21,880 Speaker 1: to give Gabriel a real opportunity, there's no question about that, 527 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 1: and Gabriel, you know they have a real investment in him. 528 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,400 Speaker 1: I just don't think Gabriel's good enough to run the 529 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 1: table the rest of the way, so he should get 530 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:36,239 Speaker 1: a shot. He just has to be ready for it. 531 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:43,800 Speaker 1: I just I really think he is getting And people 532 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,280 Speaker 1: thought that this was patronizing when I said he's getting 533 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 1: bad advice. They're like, he's a twenty three year old 534 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:53,320 Speaker 1: grown man. Shut up. Monse's twenty seven. I give Demanse 535 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 1: professional advice all the time. I'm forty. I call my 536 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:03,759 Speaker 1: dad for advice on Like the idea that because right 537 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:07,360 Speaker 1: he's almost old enough to rent a car without paying 538 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:12,520 Speaker 1: the extra fee, he's beyond advice is just idiotic, Like, yes, 539 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:16,520 Speaker 1: he's allowed now at twenty three, he's his own man. 540 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 1: He can make his own decisions. He can take the 541 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,440 Speaker 1: advice and throw it in the garbage. I and so, 542 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:30,319 Speaker 1: But the idea that you shouldn't have people in your life, like, 543 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:36,279 Speaker 1: hey man, that's a mistake. It's and I really like him. 544 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:41,240 Speaker 1: The thing is this, I think. I do think he's charming. 545 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,239 Speaker 1: I do think he's talented. I do think he is 546 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 1: well intentioned. But I think there is a protectionism. He 547 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:59,799 Speaker 1: right now, to me, is in a really and they're 548 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:07,799 Speaker 1: not similar player, but oh he is risking entering the 549 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:18,640 Speaker 1: tbow zone of your biggest fans hurt you where because 550 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:22,880 Speaker 1: you are such a celebrity and because they have more 551 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,759 Speaker 1: you are. You are not only a person anymore. You 552 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 1: are like a vessel for their own wants and desires. 553 00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 1: That that works against you professionally. And Dion, and the 554 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,320 Speaker 1: last thing I'll say is this, and this is where 555 00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:46,680 Speaker 1: like it's tough because you see your own kids through 556 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,000 Speaker 1: a parent's eyes, you know what I mean, through the 557 00:41:50,800 --> 00:42:00,319 Speaker 1: and I get that. Dion's gotta recognize, man, you could 558 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:08,800 Speaker 1: do this. Your son can't. Why because Dion's one of 559 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,920 Speaker 1: the greatest players in the history of the sport and 560 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 1: your son is not. And he doesn't. And you'd be like, well, 561 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:20,360 Speaker 1: Dion wasn't that until no Dion was. Dion was a 562 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:24,479 Speaker 1: Dion going into the draft, was talking about this team 563 00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,560 Speaker 1: better than not draft me or bankrupt the bank like that, 564 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:31,759 Speaker 1: Like I guess what people are like. All right, he 565 00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,120 Speaker 1: might be a lot to deal with, But did you 566 00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 1: see the forty yard dash time? Did you see him 567 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,719 Speaker 1: locked down in the side of a field for two 568 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:43,439 Speaker 1: years at Florida State. Deon's like, I might play baseball too. 569 00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:47,560 Speaker 1: They're like, we'll fly you out there, buddy. Whatever you want. 570 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:51,359 Speaker 1: Dion had two things going for him that are very 571 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 1: important that you'd ordered not. One is he was a 572 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,640 Speaker 1: super superstar on the field, and the other one is 573 00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:02,880 Speaker 1: he wasn't a quarter back, because as great as Dion was, 574 00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 1: if he were a post quack instead of a cornerback, 575 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 1: it would have been trickier. And so Cam was a 576 00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:18,000 Speaker 1: quarterback and dealt with some of this. But he's the 577 00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,880 Speaker 1: he had was coming off the single greatest season in 578 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,440 Speaker 1: the history of college football, and so like he can. 579 00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:31,120 Speaker 1: I just I don't know, man, I I legit worry 580 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:33,840 Speaker 1: that he is. 581 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:41,080 Speaker 2: He's he's hurt, He's like wounded like all the time. 582 00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:44,360 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, feelings are always hurt. And I think he 583 00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,040 Speaker 2: kind of does it not to deal with it sometimes 584 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,920 Speaker 2: since I don't know, man, But like you know, with 585 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:51,000 Speaker 2: that type, no, I think. 586 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:54,480 Speaker 1: That's a great take, the idea that he is for 587 00:43:54,520 --> 00:44:00,279 Speaker 1: the first time in his football life consistently being told yeah, 588 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,520 Speaker 1: you're not good enough right now, and when not only 589 00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,360 Speaker 1: was he not told that before, he was the best 590 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,640 Speaker 1: player or second best player on every team he ever 591 00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:13,960 Speaker 1: played on. Yeah, And so I think there is something 592 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,400 Speaker 1: to that. I think the whole thing though, I just 593 00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,880 Speaker 1: I oh, that was a mistake. By the way, if 594 00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,400 Speaker 1: you're thinking about upgrading to the all new iPhone seventeen Pro, 595 00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,719 Speaker 1: designed to be the most powerful iPhone ever, but you're 596 00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:28,719 Speaker 1: also thinking about the traffic on your way to the 597 00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,799 Speaker 1: store or transferring all your data, good news.

Hugely concerned about Perdy's health, I would 608 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:13,239 Speaker 1: also be furious with my medical staff. Once again, if 609 00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:19,440 Speaker 1: I'm the Niners, I it's not like the NFL spinds 610 00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:24,040 Speaker 1: a wheel to determine who's playing Thursday night each week. 611 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:31,200 Speaker 1: You if you're the Niners, you knew that you were 612 00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:36,720 Speaker 1: playing Thursday this week. Purty clearly was not one hundred 613 00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:41,319 Speaker 1: percent this past Sunday. They let him play anyway, the 614 00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:45,920 Speaker 1: injury got worse. He now is definitively going to miss 615 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:49,759 Speaker 1: this game and he's not even healthy enough to be 616 00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:53,760 Speaker 1: like the emergency quarterback for them and could miss more time. 617 00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:59,440 Speaker 1: I don't understand, especially because they did go to and 618 00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:04,160 Speaker 1: zero with man Jones. How they don't hold party out 619 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:09,440 Speaker 1: demons this past Sunday and then he gets four extra 620 00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:13,319 Speaker 1: days before he would be playing against the Rams to 621 00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:17,680 Speaker 1: heal up that toe, and then ten days before the 622 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,600 Speaker 1: next game. You know you could get you could have 623 00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:25,319 Speaker 1: eased him back in three games off and then he 624 00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,399 Speaker 1: plays the Rams, then a mini buy before they play 625 00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,920 Speaker 1: the next week. Now, this is probably going to be 626 00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:34,240 Speaker 1: a problem all year, which brings me to the bigger 627 00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:49,600 Speaker 1: party conversation. Man I, I said, all off season, why 628 00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,040 Speaker 1: would you be in a rush to pay this player? 629 00:46:53,800 --> 00:47:01,279 Speaker 1: He struggle at his worst year yet last year has 630 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:08,480 Speaker 1: dealt with some injuries and has no leverage whatsoever. Just 631 00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:18,360 Speaker 1: wait and see. They gave him fifty what three million 632 00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:23,400 Speaker 1: dollars a year and now like it has been four 633 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:27,520 Speaker 1: games into the contract, if they could wipe it away, 634 00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:35,880 Speaker 1: would they? Of course? And I know that there is 635 00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:42,239 Speaker 1: it felt unfair because he had made no money at 636 00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:45,359 Speaker 1: all as the final pick of the draft, and they 637 00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:46,960 Speaker 1: had been to a Super Bowl and been to a 638 00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,920 Speaker 1: conference championship game and two of his years he had 639 00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:54,760 Speaker 1: played really well. But you're not in the fairness business. 640 00:47:55,200 --> 00:48:01,399 Speaker 1: You're in the football business. And the other had they 641 00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:05,919 Speaker 1: not paid him, and then this, you know, we see 642 00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:09,880 Speaker 1: this opening month of the season. It's like, oh, Mac Jones, 643 00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:14,560 Speaker 1: who is basically on the minimum, can be dropped into 644 00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:18,760 Speaker 1: this offense without all the weapons and it can function. 645 00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:26,000 Speaker 1: Are we better off spending our money elsewhere? Are we? Like, 646 00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:30,080 Speaker 1: do we need a fifty million dollars a year quarterback 647 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:34,640 Speaker 1: unless he's a true difference maker? And that's that's the 648 00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:41,680 Speaker 1: other piece of this, is it We have so much 649 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:49,600 Speaker 1: evidence that that Shanahan system is relatively quarterback proof. Now, listen, parties, 650 00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:53,880 Speaker 1: a healthy party is better than Mac and raises your ceiling. 651 00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:57,920 Speaker 1: But does he raise your ceiling more than having three 652 00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:01,840 Speaker 1: separate Pro Bowl level players that you could get with 653 00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:05,600 Speaker 1: fifty million dollars a year. I don't know that he does. 654 00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:11,359 Speaker 1: So I have been there are very few opinions that 655 00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:16,480 Speaker 1: have spanned the course of five six years that have 656 00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:21,600 Speaker 1: aged better than my I do not believe the Niners 657 00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:26,080 Speaker 1: quarterback is as good as his numbers suggest. It's about Shanahan, 658 00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:31,160 Speaker 1: the weapons and the system. Then that take. But once again, 659 00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,080 Speaker 1: I think that takes going to age quite well. It 660 00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:37,719 Speaker 1: also should be noted because people are putting out there 661 00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:41,400 Speaker 1: the Niners wide receiver room, and I'm like, oh, I 662 00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:45,359 Speaker 1: recognize those guys. Patrick Mahomes won super bowls with them, 663 00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:50,080 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Robinson, Sky Moore, Mark wes Valdez, Scantling. What do 664 00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,240 Speaker 1: you expect anyone to do? I don't know. Patrick Mahomes 665 00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:56,319 Speaker 1: won Super Bowl. So like the there is that? All right? 666 00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:57,680 Speaker 1: I know you want to ask me about Pooka. 667 00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:02,120 Speaker 2: Uh yes, Where would you rank him amongst wide receivers. 668 00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:06,480 Speaker 2: He's number one in yards receptions and yards by a lot, 669 00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,520 Speaker 2: by a lot. Stafford loves him. 670 00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:15,760 Speaker 1: He's on pace demons through sixteen games, not even seventeen 671 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:19,320 Speaker 1: game season, for more than one hundred and sixty catches 672 00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:23,160 Speaker 1: in the first ever two thousand yard season. So here 673 00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:33,080 Speaker 1: is all right? Here is the It's weird to say 674 00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:44,799 Speaker 1: he has almost an ironclad case that he should be 675 00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:52,759 Speaker 1: in consideration as the best receiver in the NFL. Yet 676 00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:59,359 Speaker 1: I cannot wrap my mind around the idea that he's 677 00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:03,680 Speaker 1: better than Justin Jefferson or Jamar Chase. And I feel 678 00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:08,080 Speaker 1: like he could have a two thousand yard season and 679 00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:10,759 Speaker 1: I still would not be able to wrap my mind 680 00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:14,960 Speaker 1: around it. But you know, he's doing it with not 681 00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:19,279 Speaker 1: great quarterback play. He's doing it under I shouldn't say 682 00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,640 Speaker 1: he's not great quarterback play. He's he's doing it when 683 00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:26,040 Speaker 1: he's not fully healthy. He's been able to just do it. 684 00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,839 Speaker 1: And it's I think he's playing at a higher level 685 00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:33,120 Speaker 1: than Cooper Cup did. And so some of that is, 686 00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,359 Speaker 1: you know, when we saw Cooper Cup do it, now 687 00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:40,600 Speaker 1: we're saying pooka do it. Stafford and McVeigh gets some 688 00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:44,600 Speaker 1: of the credit, but Pook is an unbelievable player. He 689 00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:50,239 Speaker 1: is really an unbelievable player, and he's certainly demands has 690 00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:55,560 Speaker 1: to be in your top five. Certainly, I still think 691 00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:59,239 Speaker 1: Jefferson's the best receiver in football, but man, Pook is 692 00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:02,520 Speaker 1: an unbelo levable player. He doesn't unbelievable. 693 00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,839 Speaker 2: Seems like a solid teammate as well. I mean, yes, 694 00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:08,200 Speaker 2: Jefferson as well, but you know. 695 00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:11,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, but he doesn't. It doesn't seem like he has 696 00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:17,040 Speaker 1: the like wide receiver curse. But it also helps that 697 00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:19,560 Speaker 1: he gets fifteen targets a game. I think all the 698 00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:21,480 Speaker 1: series will be pretty happy with you know what I 699 00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:23,400 Speaker 1: mean with with those types of targets
