WEBVTT - Best Of - Chiefs are BACK, Lamar's big game struggles, Shedeur Sanders self-sabotage, 49ers regretting Purdy? 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:02.480 Welcome to the best of the week for What's Right 0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:05.200 with Nick Right the best takes and moments from this 0:00:05.280 --> 0:00:11.039 week on the show. Enjoy where I am, though Demons 0:00:11.320 --> 0:00:19.000 is fully relaxed and comfortable and relieved about the Chiefs. 0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:22.240 Let's get right to the game of the weekend. 0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:25.520 Yeah, so we all saw what happened on Sunday. Your 0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:29.480 Chiefs crushed my Ravens. We were obviously riddled with injuries. 0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:32.479 Our quarterback went down very early into the third quarter. 0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:35.479 But she said after starting and two, that is not 0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:36.080 hold on. 0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:38.720 Your quarterback did not go down early in the third. 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:42.480 He went down at the end of the third quarter 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:45.840 when when he tapped out when they were down seventeen. 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:48.639 But go ahead, all right, you said your Chiefs had 0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:51.120 the chance to rewrite history after starting oh and two 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:54.520 after this game, do you think they did so well? 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:57.760 Listen, they studied themselves and the ow and to start, 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:01.520 what they had to do was beat the Giants. That 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:04.640 was an ugly game that obviously turned on the tackle 0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:12.600 that turned the tide. And then they had to go 0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:16.640 take care of business against the Ravens. And take care 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:23.560 of business they did, and not shockingly, the moment the 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:29.640 Chiefs had close to a competent receiving corps. The offense 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:34.160 looked good again the last And we don't have to 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:37.560 do this full history in depth, but it is worth 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:44.000 mentioning that the Chiefs traded away Tyreek Hill mahomes snap 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:47.960 in an offseason changed the way he played based on 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:52.360 the receivers. They had one league MVP. The very next year, 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:57.360 dealt with more drops than any quarterback literally in modern 0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:01.480 NFL history, figured it out by the playoffs, won the 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:06.840 Super Bowl. The next year, dealt with the most injured 0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:11.960 wide receiver and running back room in the NFL, got 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.400 all the way to the Super Bowl. And the next year, 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:18.040 which was this year, walked into the season with his 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:22.160 number one receiver suspended for six games and his number 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:26.080 two receiver knocked out of Game one three plays in, 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:31.240 And it looked shaky for a bit. And I told 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:36.320 you guys that I knew real like I guess insight, 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:41.800 that that Chargers Week one game plan, Xavier Worthy was 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.919 the ePIE center of it, and him being knocked out 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:50.079 three plays in threw everything off. But this the fatalism 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:55.880 surrounding the Chiefs from almost everyone else in the media 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:59.000 was and I don't want to be a scold, and 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.520 I don't want to be more knowing than I naturally am. 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:09.760 But it was embarrassing, and it was so fickle and 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:17.760 so myopic, my opic, pardon me, as if they don't 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:23.000 have a Hall of Fame head coach, a Hall of 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:27.959 Fame caliber decoordinator, and the most talented quarterback to ever live, 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.280 that they couldn't figure it out and it was as 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:36.960 if they were getting boat raced in these early games, 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.360 or as if they were playing terrible teams and losing. 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.680 Neither were true. Now, I want to make this clear. 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:48.280 I don't think the Chiefs are, you know, quote fully back. 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.960 If back means being the highest scoring team in the league, 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.960 I don't think that's who they're going to be. I 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:58.160 don't think the Chiefs have solved all their issues. I 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:01.640 still think the running back room leaves a lot to 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:05.000 be desired, and their ability to get pressure on the 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:09.480 opposing quarterback without sending a blitz at the moment leaves 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:14.960 a lot to be desired. But you look, if you 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:20.480 going into the Baltimore game, if you looked around the AFC, 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:28.920 the only team that really you could say had no 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:33.600 holes to poke at it was the Chargers going into 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:38.760 Week four, but they already were dealing with some potentially 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:43.440 mounting injuries that sadly, they dealt with more of during 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:46.040 Week four in a game they had no business losing 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:49.599 but lost, And so the Bills were undefeated. But the 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:53.520 Bills defense had looked shaky, and they they had and 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:58.760 have played three consecutive games against just bottom feeders. The 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:02.880 Ravens were even this huge benefit of the doubt despite 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:05.760 having the same record as the Chiefs, and then every 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:08.720 other team that had a good record, like the Steelers 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:14.000 or the Jags, you had real reason to be concerned about. 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:16.960 And so who's first? I mean, I don't know if 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:18.720 this matters who's first slay the games? Who do you 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:20.600 think has had the tougher schedule through the first four 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:22.599 weeks between the Ravens and the Chiefs. 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.360 I think it's been almost identical. Okay, So like they 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.000 played each other. So if we want to call that, 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:32.680 like I so call the Chiefs Ravens game, you know, 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:36.359 a wash so to speak. The Ravens played the Browns. 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:39.120 The Chiefs played the Giants, which is the I think 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:41.400 the Giants are better than the Browns, but the Browns 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:43.760 have a better defense, you know what I mean. Call 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.919 that a wash. And then the Ravens played the Bills, 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:50.960 the Chiefs played the Eagles. The Ravens player, I guess 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:54.920 we could do Bills, Chargers, Eagles, Lions, you know what 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:56.960 I mean. Like, I think the Bills are a little 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:58.880 better than the Chargers, but I think the Eagles are 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.359 a little better than the Lions. So to me, it's 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:06.200 very very similar. Like as far as what the opening 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:10.039 slate was, now, you could argue the Chief Ravens game 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.360 being in Kansas City, like the Ravens having to go 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.359 on the road for that tilts it. But the other 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:18.680 piece of it that was maddening to me and has 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:21.640 been even more maddening in the after There have been 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:23.720 two things that have happened in the aftermath of this 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:28.320 game that really drive me crazy. And I had kind 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:32.200 of a rough moment near the end of yesterday's show 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.320 on TV with Wilds yesterday. I'll apologize to him when 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:37.880 I see him today. It's not really the tone of 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.839 our show, but I got angry when I shouldn't have 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:45.800 the And I mean I don't think he took it 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:49.000 like terribly, Like I think he might be surprised when 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:54.360 I apologize to him, but maybe not. But it Two 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:57.960 things have happened that to me are so frustrating. The 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:02.880 first one is I understand the Ravens during the game 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:07.840 lost Rokwan Smith and late in the game lost Humphrey 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:12.320 and once the game was over over over lost Nate Wiggins. 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:18.720 But they went into the game missing four starters. Everyone 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:23.040 and the defense already had been bad all year. Everyone 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:28.280 knew that and picked them. That's fine, by the way, 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:30.080 like you can pick whoever you want. And I'm not 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:32.240 acting like that game was a lot for the the 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.560 way it played out, the Chiefs had full control, but 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:39.040 you know, something goes differently. Maybe not, but to know 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:44.080 the team has those injuries going in and then afterwards 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:48.320 be like, wow, of course Kansas City did that. Look 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:52.119 at all the injuries on defense. It's just bullshit. It's 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:59.360 the if your handicap going into the game was I 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:03.080 think the Races at full strength or better, but they're 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:06.160 not full strength. Therefore I think the Chiefs will win. 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:07.960 And then you see that game be like, yeah, that's 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:10.840 what I thought, so be it. But that wasn't anyone's handicap. 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:16.800 The handicap was even with the Ravens defensive injuries, the 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:21.760 Chiefs offense, with Patrick freaking Mahomes on it and Andy 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:26.120 Reid calling the plays, is so broken that they're not 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:27.960 going to be able to move the ball. I mean 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:34.240 Vegas had as underdogs as well. Correct, Yeah, like which 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:40.280 it's so again two and a half pour underdogs at 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:44.480 home to a one and two team that the two 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.840 competent offenses that they had played moved the ball at 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:54.560 will and so to then Monday morning quarterback be like, oh, well, 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.800 obviously this was gonna happen. That's not what you believed. 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:02.400 That wasn't people's picks. That wasn't people's opinion. The conversation 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.960 going into the game was who needed it more? Kansas City? 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:11.920 Who do you trust more? Baltimore Good I watched Orlowski? 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:16.760 Do the Ravens are built to beat the Chiefs? What 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:19.800 it's like? No, they're built to beat the Chiefs and 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:22.120 the Bengals. They're just they they're not built to beat 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:24.200 the I think you said the Chargers in the line 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:29.560 something I don't know I it was. And the other 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.640 piece of it was, and this is my other level 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:36.080 of frustration because while Ronnie Stanley did go out during 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:42.719 this game. The Ravens offense is healthy, and it was that, well, 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:44.560 the Chiefs aren't gonna be able to slow down a 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:46.920 Ravens offense that no one's been able to slow down. 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:54.200 They score thirty plus in every game, and that, of 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:58.640 course is not what happened. And so that frustrated me. 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:01.880 And the other thing that frustrated me, I had nothing 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:06.040 to do with Brewer Wilds, but it had to do 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:11.920 with me listening to Simmons Pod as I do every 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:16.440 Monday morning, listening to Greg Rosenthal's NFL Daily Pod, as 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:21.400 I do every day, listening to you know a lot 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:24.319 of them, and watching the Monday morning shows and all 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:29.280 of it. And I was like, I could not believe 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:36.720 that I was going to once again have to be, 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:42.120 I guess, the bad guy in pointing out the obvious 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:53.080 fact that this game turned on a totally predictable, yet inexplicable, 0:10:54.559 --> 0:11:02.040 horrific Lamar pick and then we're up seven to three 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:10.720 with the ball on first down around midfield and Lamar 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:15.280 pedaled backwards and then threw up a prayer for no 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:24.520 reason whatsoever. A guy who has he and again people 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:27.680 can be mad at me, but here are the facts 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:31.200 of it. And every year people get mad at me, 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:34.720 and then every year we get another piece of evidence 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:38.720 that I'm stone right about this, and then every year 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:42.160 I have to listen to folks stick their fingers in 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:45.240 the ears and be like, nope, actually wrong. Lamar's the 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:47.600 greatest passer of the football we've ever seen, is Iyer's 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.480 passer rating. Ever, never turns the ball over and all 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.800 the big game, playoffs, games against the Chief stuff is 0:11:53.880 --> 0:12:00.360 just dumb random luck. In the last thirty games Lamar 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:05.760 is played, he has multiple turnovers in three of them, 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:11.480 the AFC Championship game against Kansas City, the Divisional round 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:15.960 against Buffalo, and Sunday against Kansas City. I guess that's 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:26.840 a coincidence. In the last thirty games Lamar has played, 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:31.200 he has thrown seven interceptions, which is remarkable that he's 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:34.040 only thrown seven. He had like a fifty to four 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.880 touchdown interception ratio. You know, in this stretch he moved 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:40.760 the playoffs. It was crazy. The interceptions are as follows. 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:46.720 Four regular season interceptions prior to Sunday, three of which 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:50.600 we played the video hit his receiver in the hands 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:55.679 and then either got like bobbled or stolen, one of 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:59.360 which Bateman just stopped running his route, but four passes 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:03.160 that did not need to be picked, the only three 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:08.480 in the last thirty games, the only three interceptions Lamar 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.120 has thrown where it's like, what the hell was that 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:16.360 AFC Championship game into triple coverage in the fourth quarter 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:21.280 against Kansas City Divisional round game, early against both against 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:26.280 Buffalo and the one Sunday. He also in those three 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:35.880 games had inexplicable fumbles out of nowhere. To pretend like 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:40.640 that is coincidental when we once again saw Lamar throwing 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:47.640 his helmet out of sorts, it's just dishonest. And I 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:52.880 know Bill Pollion was mean in his commentary towards the 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:59.679 guy eight years ago, and I know some of the 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:04.440 world first actors in media, sports or otherwise tried to 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:10.520 pigeonhole him as a wide receiver in a pretty nakedly 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:15.520 at times racist way. I get that, and I understand 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:20.680 because of that there has been a almost protectionism and 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:24.920 a want for folks to see him succeed at the 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:34.480 highest level. I don't disagree with that, but why do 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:39.520 we have to pretend what is obviously true is not 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:44.320 Why do we have to pretend that this is a 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:49.240 unique thing we haven't seen across sports Our whole lives 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:57.800 the all time great, legendary player who sadly gets tight 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:01.320 in his biggest spots and plays his worst in his 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:08.320 biggest moments. That's part of sports man. And nobody was 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:12.760 going back and taking away Peyton Manning's MVPs and his 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:19.560 records because he struggled massively in the biggest spons But 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:24.840 we weren't pretending it was coincidental either, talking about the 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:28.400 Peyton Manning face, talked about how he got anxious, talked 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:31.680 about how his brother was like the bizarro version of him, 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:38.000 a holy mediocre player for giant expanses of his career 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:42.000 who somehow, in the biggest sponts played his absolute best, 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.240 And for some reason with Lamar, we got to pretend 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:50.280 it's not happening. I gotta and listen. I don't know 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:54.240 this guy, but I think he does good work. I 0:15:54.240 --> 0:16:01.640 think he's a smart commentator. But I Deontay Lee at 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:10.120 the Ringer. I before the Lamar fumble, I tweeted Lamar's 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:13.440 basically gone two years without making that this was on 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:16.440 the pick, without making that exact type of mistake except 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:18.560 for in the twenty three AFC Championship game, of the 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:22.240 twenty four Divisional round and just now against Kansas City 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:27.400 probably a coincidence, and Deontay Lee quote tweets it right. 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:31.600 Nobody can identify the intrinsic traits of a winner and 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:36.320 loser like Nick Wright. He is the seer. It's like, no, bro, 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:39.040 I'm not trying to tell you. I'm not trying to 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:43.480 act like I look in at guy's eyes and can 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:47.360 determine whether he has the IT factor. I'm just trying 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:50.800 to act like I've watched this guy's whole fucking career, 0:16:53.160 --> 0:17:03.120 and from day one, he has been a guy who, 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:07.520 in the postseason or in these instances now when he 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:12.679 sees Patrick across the field, plays his worst football. And 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:16.040 we can act like it's a small sample. But he's 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:20.160 played the Chiefs seven times, He's played i think ten 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:26.960 playoff games, like it's not a small sample. And my 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:30.639 frustration is and again, so this is the other thing, Demonse, 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:33.480 and this well, I'll say before we keep it moving, 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:39.199 and maybe Demondse, you'll tell me this is unfair. I 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:43.600 don't think if I'm a Ravens fan, I don't think. 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:47.360 The thing that I came out of that game most 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:54.639 disheartened about was the defense. And the reason for that 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:59.479 is obviously, if the defense is this bad, they are 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:01.639 drawing you know what I mean, They can't have the 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:05.280 worst defense in football. But what to me was so 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:08.960 disheartening about it if you're a Ravens fan, is you're 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:11.959 now gonna have in the back of your head, even 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:17.160 if we get the defense fixed by when we get 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:22.080 to these moments against Josh or Patrick, are we getting 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:27.280 MVP Lamar Or are we getting throwing his head back, 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:32.280 slamming the helmet, taking terrible sacks, throwing off his back 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:37.000 foot Lamar I That to me is the concern.

I did not think we would be starting 0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:38.520 with the Browns third string quarterback. However, because of the 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:43.119 last twenty four hours and because this show loves itself 0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:49.119 some meta media discussion, we are going to start with 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:52.360 the Browns third string quarterback. Go right ahead, pal. 0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:57.119 No, I'm kidding. 0:20:56.160 --> 0:21:00.240 Jack stricked me. Hold on, I was about a say, hey, 0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:03.439 Demanzi's Mike's not working. I just want I went to 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:07.280 see if my headset got disconnected. That was really good 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:10.959 mouthing of the words. You totally tricked me. All right, 0:21:11.040 --> 0:21:14.840 good job there. I mean, that's for watching watching on YouTube. 0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:18.280 You got the bit. If you're the if you're listening 0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:21.560 to us on podcasts, it doesn't really play. But good job, 0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:22.400 all right, go ahead. 0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:25.600 So Joe Flacco has been benched and Dylan Gabriel is 0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:28.480 the new quarterback. One and a shadeur responded to that 0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:31.320 news and oppressor and maybe Rex Ryan with a little 0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:35.240 bit of meme or mimi action thoughts on this. 0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:40.520 Okay, So let me let me give the audience the 0:21:40.680 --> 0:21:46.320 very short history of this. Okay. A week ago, Shador 0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:54.120 gave a somewhat innocuous but probably poorly worded comment when 0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:59.320 he said, you know, I'm paraphrasing, but I think this 0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:02.600 is going to be to an exact quote. You know, 0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:08.080 I watched the league and I'm better than some of 0:22:08.080 --> 0:22:11.840 those guys out there starting. I didn't think it was 0:22:12.000 --> 0:22:15.640 a huge deal. I think it. I think that one 0:22:15.640 --> 0:22:20.760 of the reasons demonse that I thought that comment was 0:22:22.560 --> 0:22:30.800 uh likely to not go great for him was because 0:22:30.840 --> 0:22:34.640 one could argue these starting quarterback in the league playing 0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:39.439 the worst was his own, you know what. I so 0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:43.200 if he had if he was third string for the 0:22:43.240 --> 0:22:47.560 Bills and said, you know, I watched the league, and 0:22:48.240 --> 0:22:50.280 you know, I feel like I'm better than some of 0:22:50.320 --> 0:22:53.479 the guys starting, I think the exact quote was, if 0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:55.480 you see the quarterback play in the league, right now 0:22:55.640 --> 0:22:58.840 I know I'm capable of doing better than that. Then 0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:02.320 I think it's less of a problem. When a lot 0:23:02.359 --> 0:23:06.040 of people felt like and feel like the Brown starting 0:23:06.119 --> 0:23:08.800 quarterback was playing the worst of everyone in the league, 0:23:09.760 --> 0:23:14.720 it could have been construed as an unintentional shot at Flacco. 0:23:14.920 --> 0:23:17.600 I don't think it was that at all, but it 0:23:17.680 --> 0:23:21.160 was just a little trickier of a spot. Does that 0:23:21.240 --> 0:23:26.520 part make sense what I'm describing there? Yeah? Okay. Then 0:23:26.680 --> 0:23:32.600 Rex Ryan goes on TV and makes a fool of himself. Yea, 0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:38.280 Like every time I see Rex Ryan, he's just talking 0:23:38.320 --> 0:23:42.280 about how much someone sucks. It's like the whole bit. 0:23:42.800 --> 0:23:45.840 It's that Russell Wilson can't play dead in the Western 0:23:46.320 --> 0:23:48.240 it's his career's. 0:23:47.840 --> 0:23:52.240 Over people like they're the reason, you know, every problem 0:23:52.280 --> 0:23:53.240 in his life that he has. 0:23:53.320 --> 0:23:58.560 Like, yeah, I don't personally like that his style. I'm 0:23:58.600 --> 0:24:02.320 just gonna be transparent on this. I don't know Rex personally, 0:24:02.760 --> 0:24:06.080 I'm not I don't want please awful announcing. Don't make 0:24:06.160 --> 0:24:08.679 this a nick right offict rates. I'm not trying to 0:24:08.720 --> 0:24:12.439 do that. I'm just being honest. I think Rex like 0:24:12.840 --> 0:24:16.720 goes on TV, it's like this guy sucks, this coordinator 0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:19.080 is an idiot. I do a better job with that 0:24:19.200 --> 0:24:23.639 bang I'm out here, and so I just don't love that. 0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:27.800 Let me put it like he would it just it. 0:24:28.600 --> 0:24:32.000 He would not fit on first things first, you know 0:24:32.000 --> 0:24:34.080 what I mean. But I mean the different styles are 0:24:34.080 --> 0:24:36.160 different folks, and I wouldn't fit on other shows whatever. 0:24:36.240 --> 0:24:41.399 I'm really trying to be kind here, but be honest 0:24:41.400 --> 0:24:46.719 with my opinion pretty clearly. Oh and one of the 0:24:46.760 --> 0:24:50.440 things he said, he said two things that really struck 0:24:50.680 --> 0:24:57.320 me with the Shardor commentary. One was he basically reported 0:24:58.080 --> 0:25:02.320 that Shadoor is not doing the work. He was like, 0:25:02.400 --> 0:25:05.359 get in there and study. If I know this, the 0:25:05.400 --> 0:25:09.800 whole league knows this. It's like wow, like Rex Ryan 0:25:09.920 --> 0:25:13.720 elbowing Schefter off the breaking news beat, Like I hadn't. 0:25:13.960 --> 0:25:17.560 I had not seen that reported anywhere that Shador has 0:25:17.600 --> 0:25:20.120 been lazy or not paying attention to meetings. That would 0:25:20.200 --> 0:25:26.240 be news. But the other thing he said was, you know, 0:25:27.280 --> 0:25:30.000 shut up and dribble. Not quite shut up and dribble, 0:25:30.040 --> 0:25:39.320 but shut your mouth. So Shadoor yesterday was asked about 0:25:39.400 --> 0:25:44.160 Dylan Gabriel being named the starter and about how he 0:25:44.400 --> 0:25:47.200 was not elevated to second string because that's the other 0:25:47.240 --> 0:25:52.520 piece of news here. It didn't go flat. Typically if 0:25:52.560 --> 0:25:57.000 a veteran quarterback, not always, but I shouldn't even say typically. 0:25:57.240 --> 0:26:00.400 Sometimes when a veteran quarterback is benched, he then goes 0:26:00.440 --> 0:26:04.439 to the bottom of the depth chart. He wasn't a veteran. 0:26:04.480 --> 0:26:09.840 But last year when Bryce Young got benched for Andy Dalton, 0:26:10.200 --> 0:26:14.520 that that first game, Bryce wasn't the backup, you know 0:26:14.560 --> 0:26:16.280 what I mean, Like it was he went all the 0:26:16.320 --> 0:26:19.119 way down the ladder. And then so there was an 0:26:19.160 --> 0:26:22.200 opportunity that was going to be Gabriel one, Schador two, 0:26:22.320 --> 0:26:25.800 Flaco three that ended up not happening, just Gabriel and 0:26:25.840 --> 0:26:28.800 Flacco flips your door stayed three. He was asked about 0:26:28.840 --> 0:26:36.680 all of this, and he smiled and in my opinion, 0:26:36.800 --> 0:26:42.080 looked like he always does, which is charming, and seemingly 0:26:42.359 --> 0:26:47.000 talked without talking, moved his mouth and I actually wonder 0:26:47.000 --> 0:26:50.760 if a professional, I wonder if he was giving real answers, 0:26:51.359 --> 0:26:53.359 you know what I mean, Like, yeah, I mean he 0:26:53.400 --> 0:26:57.240 was clearly he wasn't like, you know, just speaking gibberish. 0:26:57.400 --> 0:27:00.840 I now, I don't know if the sentences were you know, 0:27:01.160 --> 0:27:05.560 a inaudible. I was told, you know, on TV. They 0:27:05.560 --> 0:27:07.159 told me not to talk, so this is me not 0:27:07.280 --> 0:27:09.720 talking or I don't know if it was an inaudible. 0:27:10.240 --> 0:27:12.800 I'm happy for Dylan to be getting this opportunity. I'm 0:27:12.840 --> 0:27:16.240 still working hard. But he was clearly saying sentences, but 0:27:16.920 --> 0:27:22.760 they were dead silent. And the reason I wanted to 0:27:22.800 --> 0:27:27.840 start the show with it is because this is just 0:27:28.160 --> 0:27:36.520 a perfect, just perfect moment for today's media and social media. 0:27:37.280 --> 0:27:43.119 Because if you want, which I don't want to do, 0:27:44.359 --> 0:27:51.280 to kill Shador, it's an example of just want and immaturity. 0:27:51.960 --> 0:27:57.120 I don't want to kill Shador. And if you want 0:27:57.560 --> 0:28:04.960 to blindly support shaudor the criticism he gets from this 0:28:06.280 --> 0:28:11.720 will be an example the kid can't win. He talks 0:28:11.760 --> 0:28:15.440 and he gets yelled at. He literally doesn't talk, and 0:28:15.480 --> 0:28:20.119 you kill him anyway. I don't want to do that either, 0:28:20.760 --> 0:28:29.320 because I'm not an idiot. What everyone, every adult has 0:28:29.359 --> 0:28:38.840 a responsibility to set down for a moment, their priors 0:28:40.280 --> 0:28:49.720 and to ask themselves this honest question. If Shadoor was 0:28:49.840 --> 0:28:54.520
