When it comes to the economy, 23 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: those are some scary years. Dot com crash, the housing crash, 24 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: and now the roller coaster that we're going through right now. 25 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: One thing is certain.

And you know, there are parts 42 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: of that Sunday Night football that made me think, you know, 43 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: I can understand this. You know, it's been a it's 44 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: been a herky jerky year for play calling, level of play, 45 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: and just overall play. I mean, that was not the 46 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: prettiest game. But let's start with the Ravens and before 47 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: we dive into Lamar Jackson and the kicker who is 48 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 1: just a potent weapon. There was a moment with a 49 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: out little over nine minutes left when John Harbaugh decided 50 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,519 Speaker 1: to kick the field goal and Chris looks at Al. 51 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,399 Speaker 1: I mean, Mike Tarrico. It's still a little weird, no, Al, 52 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: and Chris, you know I came to love those that 53 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 1: combination and now it's Mike, and I'm a big Mike 54 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: t Rico. Guy knew the rules right when that ball 55 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: flew over the upright. Still still getting used to the 56 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: combo though, and John Harbaugh kicked the field goal to 57 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: make it a six point game. Remember last week in 58 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 1: a tie game, he chose not to kick the field goal. 59 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: Little different not apples to apples, and Chris goes right away, Well, 60 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: you know, last week he did something, he got crushed. 61 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: This week he could regret that, And I think to myself, 62 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: have we jumped the shark? Have we lost our minds? 63 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: How would you ever regret going up more than a 64 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: field goal? Because when you go up six points, instead 65 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: of going for it on fourth and whatever and potentially 66 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,119 Speaker 1: turning the ball over undowns and only being up three 67 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: points if they score a touchdown, you then have to 68 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,839 Speaker 1: score a touchdown to win because you're down four. When 69 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: you go up six, even if they score a touchdown, 70 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: you have to kick a field goal, and you have arguably, 71 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: I don't know, the most potent field goal kicker. I'm 72 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: not saying he's better than Vinitary in terms of his career, 73 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: but in terms of pure talent, if you had to 74 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: have a guy kick a sixty plus yard field goal, 75 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: you would pick Justin Tucker. In my lifetime, Justin Tucker 76 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: would be my pick one. He's got the strongest, most 77 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: accurate lag. So it was the right call. Then obviously 78 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: the Bankal's going a long drive, and what happens The 79 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 1: Ravens are blessed with this very potent combination. Lamar Jackson 80 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 1: has been a polarizing topic all year long. Right, how 81 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: much money do they pay him? They offered him a 82 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: lot of money. He turned down the money, which I 83 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: think is a little crazy. But I never fault any 84 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: human being for betting on themselves. I've done it before, obviously, 85 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: not at that level. Most of you, if you're listening, 86 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: if you've done it before, it can be very rewarding, 87 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: and even when it doesn't work, you find out a 88 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 1: lot about yourself. Now, i'd argue this a little different. 89 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: There's one hundred fifty plus million dollars on the line. 90 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 1: But Lamar is a very unique player, and you saw 91 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: it on full display tonight. His accuracy was atrocious. I 92 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: hate it when they throw up you know, twenty five 93 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: percent complete percent You're you guys are just pulling numbers 94 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: out of your ass. You don't know wide open the 95 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: percentage either hit it or not, like the percentage is 96 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,119 Speaker 1: dictated after the throw happens. Now, Lamar was way off 97 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: on both of the throws, especially the one the doodle 98 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 1: was wide open. But listen, that hat can happen like 99 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: Brady's miss guys. Now, Lamar the knock on him years 100 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: ago was accuracy. I would say so far this year. 101 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: In the last couple of years, he's been a pretty 102 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: accurate quarterback. He has had a fantastic season. Tonight he 103 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: was off, but he has a different pitch, like some 104 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: guys just got fastballs. Ash Yankee fans with the rowdis Chapman, 105 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: who somehow misspractice and is now not on the postseason roster. 106 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: But when you're a pitcher, where you can dominate is 107 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: when you have multiple pitches and a lot of guys. 108 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: The majority of quarterbacks, if they were playing like Lamar 109 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: jack and just had their Sea or D game, they 110 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: would be in trouble on that final drive because they're off. 111 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: They don't have the confidence and even if they're a 112 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: great player, they might just have a bad night. They 113 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: can't drive the field and you lose. You know what, 114 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: Lamar says, Fuck this, I'm going to turn into a 115 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: running back. Lamar Jackson is the greatest running quarterback. I'm 116 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: thirty eight years old. Easily I've ever seen in my life. 117 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: I was around Michael Vick when I was with the Eagles. 118 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: He was a very potent running back, but it was 119 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: a lot different. He did not know how to avoid 120 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,799 Speaker 1: hits and he often got hit and then he got injured. 121 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: Steve Young, by the time I was kind of growing 122 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 1: up into Steve Young in the early nineties, had really 123 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: morphed into much more of a passing quarterback. If you 124 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: watch Kyler Murray, who is an elite running quarterback, a 125 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: lot of his runs are on the edges, they run sweeps, 126 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: they get him out in space, and he's one of 127 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 1: the greatest athletes we've ever seen. Lamar Jackson can literally 128 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: just go I'm going to run it up the gut 129 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: and I'll just get seven yards eight yards, four yards, 130 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: six yards and we'll just move the chains my self 131 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: and there's nothing you can do about it. But I'm 132 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: running between the tackles and unlike a running back, I'm 133 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 1: not going to take a pounding because before both these 134 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: guys tackled me, I'm going to hit the ground. He's 135 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: able to run between the tackles and not take hits. 136 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,559 Speaker 1: Now guys are still landing on him. I'm not saying 137 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: he is going like zero zero impact, but he is 138 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: not taking head on collisions. His ability to just hit 139 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: the ground, and he's not really a slider, He's kind 140 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: of like a diver hit the ground guy it's remarkable, 141 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: and that last drive is exactly why he's one of 142 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: the most unique players we've ever seen, because he has 143 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: been a fantastic thrower of the football this season. Off night, 144 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: you're allowed to happen like Max Scherzer, Jacob Degram like 145 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: they have off nice throwing Tiger Woods in his prime 146 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: still might shoot seventy four. And I'm not saying he 147 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: is like we'll see. I mean I think Lamar jackson 148 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: ceiling is sky high because what makes him so potent 149 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: is when he is accurate, and he has been earlier 150 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: in the season. He gets three four five touchdowns and 151 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: at any single moment, on any single play, he can 152 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: get by every single defender in the NFL. There is 153 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: not a guy that he can not make miss, whether 154 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: it's between the tackles or outside the tackles. And then 155 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: the combination when you are and this is why you 156 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: kick the field goal. When a field goal wins you 157 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: the game, and he just has to get you thirty 158 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: forty yards. He doesn't even have to throw it. He 159 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,119 Speaker 1: just runs his own read, goes up seven yards, eight yards, 160 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: nine yards, six yards. Boom, you're in field goal range. 161 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: Justin Tucker comes in and you win the game. Like 162 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: that combination when you have to have it of Lamar 163 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: Jackson to just get into around the sixty yard mark 164 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: of Justin Tucker is a pretty unique NFL combination right now. 165 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: And that to me is like last week when Harbaud 166 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: decided to go for it. It's like I would actually 167 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: be much more conservative because at any moment, as long 168 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: as the game's close, this guy can get you within 169 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: field goal range now going whatever to get a touchdown. 170 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: That is difficult for Mahomes, Josh Allen, Dan Marino, John Away. 171 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: That's hard for everybody. But if I just have to 172 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: gain thirty forty yards, if you told me I could 173 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: have a kicker quarterback combination, you know, obviously, when Butcker's healthy, 174 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: Mahomes and him probably number one. But I don't know 175 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: how much farther I would put Lamar and Justin Tucker 176 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: because of the faith I have in Tucker and just 177 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: because of how dynamic Lamar is with his feet. Like 178 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: that was that was a clinic just getting them yards, 179 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: getting them in field goal range, boom kicking the field goal. 180 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: And on the flip side, the Bengals have Higgins got 181 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: banged up, but Joe Burrow is, you know, a top 182 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: ten quarterback, one of the better players in the league. 183 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: I know he threw the pick to his former college 184 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: teammate tonight, but I think if you just had a 185 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: draft from scratch, he wouldn't especially factor in an age. 186 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,199 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow is gonna go pretty high. Jamar Chase is 187 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: a stud. Joe Mixon is also a stud. The Bengals 188 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 1: have a lot of talent. And I think it's weird 189 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: because they may the Super Bowl last year, and they 190 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: were leading in the Super Bowl, so they obviously had 191 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: a very successful year. Yet most of us that talk 192 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: about the league, that watched the league, most of you 193 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: fans that watch a lot of football, I mean we 194 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: all see the television ratings, we're all watching a lot 195 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: of football, would all tend to agree that I don't 196 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: think their head coach is very good. And then they 197 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: get into a situation late in the game, on their 198 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,439 Speaker 1: second to last drive where they go for it in 199 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: a Harbaugh situation, but on the third down they run 200 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: Philly Special right basically like a double reverse attempt to 201 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: pass to Joe Burrow, and when that play originated, the 202 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: Philly Special, Philly Philly whatever you actually want to call it. 203 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: The play the Eagles ran against the Patriots in the 204 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. They were playing with a backup quarterback against 205 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:51,439 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. They were big underducks. Rightfully, so Bill Belichick 206 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: all these Super Bowls against Nick Foles, they were the underduck. 207 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: Do they have anything to lose? You know, you can 208 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: argue you always have something to lose within the game. 209 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: It's that game. But they had less on the line 210 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: in terms of people did not think the Eagles were 211 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: gonna win that Super Bowl. It's easy to go now, 212 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: of course, now nick Foles against Tom Brady, give me 213 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: a break. I think pretty sure Tom Brady through for 214 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: like five hundred yards in that game too. But you 215 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: run Philly Special when Nick Foles is your quarterback. You 216 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: don't run Philly Special when you have Joe Burrow, Jamaar Chase, 217 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: and Joe Mixon. To me, that is an embarrassing play 218 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: call that obviously got blown up. Marcus Peters destroys whoever 219 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 1: got the ball last. I don't think it was Chase. 220 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: I think it was someone else. But it's like, what 221 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: are you doing? And then on fourth down they run 222 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: some pitch play to the tight end trying to steal 223 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: it from Andy Reid. Clearly Lyle Collins, the dude they 224 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: signed from Dallas, either didn't like the play call, wasn't 225 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: on the same page him and Taylor not seeing eyed. 226 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: I pretty embarrassing stretch. Then ultimately they get another possession, 227 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: they drive the field and have a chance to win 228 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: the game because Joe Burrow makes some plays. But I 229 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: think it's fair to say the Bengals have a lot 230 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: of talent, and they have a core on offense with 231 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: the skill guys starting with the quarterback, that is excellent. 232 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: I just can't take their coach that seriously. I'm not 233 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: saying he's the village idiot. I'm not calling him Freddy 234 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 1: Kitchens or Jim tom Sula. But I think it's fair 235 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: to say that we might look back and go Zach 236 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: Taylor won the AFC. Zach Taylor really beat Andy Reid 237 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: on the road like that is something that's gonna age 238 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: very It's gonna be weird. Best time goes on, because 239 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: I don't think we're gonna see Zach Taylor as some 240 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: consistent powerhouse coach. I think that's fair to say. Now 241 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: they're still gonna be competitive because, like I said, they 242 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: have a core of very, very talented players. To night 243 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: is a good example. The Ravens are trying to hand 244 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: you that game and you just do dumb thing after 245 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: dumb thing. You don't run Philly Special in that situation. 246 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: It made absolutely no sense and the result was even worse. 247 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: You know, I guess big win for the Ravens, who 248 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: again looks still a little off. But like I said, 249 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: if Lamar is gonna be off throwing the ball, the 250 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: game should be closer. I also give a little less 251 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: or excuse me, a little more leeway indivisional games. They 252 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: just should be close. These teams know each other pretty well, 253 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: the coaching staff knows each other pretty well, so it 254 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: doesn't bother me, you know, to see tightly contested games. 255 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: But we can nitpick the individual decisions as we're doing. 256 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: The Zach Taylor play is still just it's a head scratcher. 257 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: Football season is underway, so now is the perfect time 258 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: to download fan Duel, America's number one sports book because 259 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 1: right now new customers get a no sweat first bet 260 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: up to one thousand dollars.

And speaking of 287 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: I guess not divisional games, but conference games that when 288 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: the season started you would have said Steelers at the 289 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: Bills be a pretty big game. And we talked about 290 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: this on I think on Friday Show. It was well 291 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: reported last week that it was the biggest point spread 292 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: in the history of the franchise, fourteen point underdog, and 293 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: it turned out it could have been twenty five points 294 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: and it still wouldn't matter. I think the final score 295 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: was thirty eight to three. The Bills destroyed the Pittsburgh Steelers, 296 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: absolutely embarrass them, I would imagine, I mean, it's got 297 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: to be one of the worst losses of Mike Tomlin's career. 298 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: And as we talked about last week, with with the Steelers. 299 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: They got very they were spoiled in the Roethlisberger era. Now, 300 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: when you're gonna give up that many points, it's not 301 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: all on the offense, it's not all on the young quarterback. 302 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: I'm not even he really here to talk about the Steelers. 303 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: One thing is clear, when the Bills are on their 304 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: ceiling is probably the highest in the league. You know, 305 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: Josh Allen is every bit as good as Patrick Mahomes Now. 306 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: He is a superstar. Physically, he's as talented as any 307 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: guy we've seen the league in forever. I mean six 308 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: to five, that arm, those legs when he's on, when 309 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: he's accurate the deep ball, he is just he's the 310 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: total package. And then like the Chiefs of the last 311 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: several years when they had Tyreek and Hardiman, they had 312 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: a lot of down the field speed. Well, the Bills 313 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: Gabriel Davis can really stretch the field. Stefon Diggs one 314 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: of the better win win trades in NFL history has 315 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: to be. I mean, it essentially is Stefan Diggs for 316 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. Now, at the time they traded him before 317 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: the draft, it was Diggs for pick twenty two. Ended 318 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: up with Justin Jefferson. Both teams are doing cartwheels. And 319 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: Diggs was damn good on the Vikings. He's way better now, 320 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 1: Like he's a flat out superstar. He's a top five 321 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: wide receiver. Khalil Shakier, who they drafted from these from 322 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: Boise State, the slot guy is a stud. Like when 323 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: that offense is on, they can score thirty five plus 324 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: on anyone. I still think when the Chiefs are super loaded, 325 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,199 Speaker 1: they're as good as anybody or super locked in, but 326 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: their offense isn't gonna be as explosive as the Bills, 327 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 1: just because when you lose Tyreek, they're just they're just 328 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: built it a little bit differently. But the Bill ceiling 329 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: is I think we all have to acknowledge when they're on, 330 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: they are they're probably the best team in the league. 331 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: And what happens this week I'm recording this. I guess 332 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: we'll have another podcast after the Monday night game. The 333 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: Chiefs are gonna be coming off a short week, but 334 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: they are hosting the Bills, which that's box office. I mean, 335 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: the two most and probably Lamar Young box office quarterbacks 336 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 1: hard to beat. Josh Allen Mahomes doesn't get any better 337 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 1: than that. Speaking of doesn't get any worse than that. 338 00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: Brandon Staley and I've said for a long time, I 339 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: didn't buy into the bullshit. He reminded me of such 340 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: a politician. He spoke like, Listen, all coaches are different. 341 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: If you watch Pete Carroll talk, if you watch Andy 342 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: Reid talk, if you watch Belichick talk, if you watch 343 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: Nick Saban, Lincoln Riley, every coach has a different you know, 344 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: tactic or the way just the way they speak, the 345 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: cadence of their words, the way they they're there toned. Everyone. 346 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: We're all different human beings. So you're allowed to not 347 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 1: sound like the next guy. I'm fine with you being unique. 348 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: But when I watch Brandon Staley talk, I watch a 349 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: guy that just has just watched every single coach on 350 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: YouTube and just tries to emulate what it's supposed to 351 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,239 Speaker 1: sound like. Yet when I'm watching the guy, I just 352 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: think like, is this is this an actor playing a coach? 353 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: Is this just not buying into the bullshit? It just 354 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: it just feels very contrived, very fake. The whole thing 355 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: feels fake. But one point in time, Vic Fangio, who 356 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: I think is one of the better defensive coordinators, last 357 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,479 Speaker 1: several decades, hired him, really liked him. Brandon Stanley went 358 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 1: on to run the Rams defense. They were awesome. Then 359 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 1: he gets this job. I thought last year was an 360 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: atrocious disaster, just an all time tire fire, right the defense, 361 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 1: how shitty they were, and then losing that last game, 362 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: and then this season today, I flip on the game, 363 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: they're down fourteen, nothing like that. Now, the Browns have 364 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: a lot of good players, but they all were rolling 365 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: out their backup quarterback and too before you even blink me. 366 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: Down fourteen nothing. That is a reflection of the head coach. 367 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: You don't have the boys ready to go. And then 368 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 1: because they have an elite quarterback, I mean, a guy 369 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: that is just a fantastic player, they are able to 370 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 1: compete against anybody because he can make plays. And Eckler's 371 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: playing really well too. But then late in the game, 372 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,679 Speaker 1: up two points at midfield on fourth and two. Not 373 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: quite as bad as what he did against the Raiders, 374 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: but the Raiders thing has already happened. So now when 375 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: he goes for it unfourth in two under two minutes 376 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: on the road against fucking Jacoby Brissette, We're all thinking, 377 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: what are you He can't be serious. And then there 378 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: was like a time out or like play stopped, and 379 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 1: whoever was calling the game was like, actually, he's not 380 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: gonna go for it. And then they come back they're like, no, 381 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: he's going for it. Keenan Allen, who's one of the 382 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: better wide receivers of the past decade, who's injured right now, 383 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: who I thinks at home he didn't make the trip. 384 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 1: I know he didn't play in the game, tweeted, wtf 385 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: are we doing? He literally a guy on the team 386 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 1: couldn't even hide it. Of course, the Chargers don't want 387 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: him doing that, but Tom Telesco had to be thinking it. 388 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 1: The only way that I can think that he keeps 389 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: doing this is Dean Spanos in whatever Excels spreadsheet he 390 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: runs his life on, thinks that that is the right 391 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 1: play call and keeps telling him always go for it. 392 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: Because other than that, if Kate York who missed the 393 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: field goal, I mean, I've never seen a guy makes 394 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 1: such a terrible call and then the Browns be right 395 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 1: in position to win the game and the kid I 396 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 1: mean slices the ball. It wasn't really even that close. 397 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: I mean it was just a It was a pretty 398 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: eye opening miss. He had missed the same thing in 399 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: pregame warm ups. They kept showing and then he misses 400 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: in the game, and I was pissed. I wanted the 401 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: Chargers to lose, not because of my disdain for Brandon Staley, 402 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 1: because when you do something that moronic, that just universally 403 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: accepted to be this is the dumbest decision we've ever seen, 404 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: you don't deserve to win. And then there were clips 405 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: of him in the locker room kind of the went 406 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 1: viral of him like saying, I played a win and 407 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: you can see the team like this guy is a clown. 408 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: I think Brandon Staley is just a created caricature who 409 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 1: has no clue what he's doing. Nick Chubb's a really 410 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: good player. They're slicing and dicing him. The Chargers defense 411 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 1: is bad. Brandon Staley has nothing to do with the offense. 412 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 1: I just can't believe the dude missed the kick because 413 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: the Chargers. And when I speak of the Chargers, like 414 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: I like Derwin James, I like Khleil mac, I love 415 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, I like Austin Neckler, like I like a 416 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: lot of their players, but I just can't root for 417 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: that guy to win because everything that he stands for it, 418 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: which I don't think he stands for anything. I just 419 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,679 Speaker 1: think he makes everything up as he goes, except for 420 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: going for it when it makes no sense to go 421 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: for it and still somehow wins that game. I just 422 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: that one man. I can't believe it. I really can't, 423 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: but I feel more and more validated on my opinion 424 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: on the guy. And then I think you gotta give 425 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 1: a shot out to two bald guys in the Big Apple. Now, 426 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,120 Speaker 1: I would say one guy had a more impressive win. 427 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 1: The Jets are three and two, and listen, you never 428 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 1: when you're the New York Jets and you've been one 429 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: of the worst teams in the league for a decade. 430 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,199 Speaker 1: Three and two is a big deal. But the New 431 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: York Giants, like the Jets, have a lot of good players. 432 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: I think the Jets roster dramatically better than the Giants now. 433 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones and Zach Wilson honestly might be closer than 434 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: you think in terms of talent. I'm not a big 435 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson guy, but the Jets beat a guy Teddy 436 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: Bridgewater gets he actually I don't think got a concussion. 437 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: But he went into the concussion protocol, passed all the tests, 438 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 1: and the Dolphins, as we've been saying, are just making 439 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: up the rules now clearly getting pressure, didn't want to 440 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: put him back in the game. Even though he cleared 441 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 1: the protocols. Didn't let him back in the game. They're 442 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: playing an undrafted free agent Solitu care Business three and 443 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: two props the Ball brother, but Brian day Ball. I 444 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: woke up this morning these six thirty kickoffs for us 445 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 1: in the West Coast, Like, I'm sorry. I don't take 446 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: the England game that seriously. I usually don't watch that 447 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 1: much of it. I usually watched like the fourth quarter one. 448 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: I just I'm gonna watch football basically from ten am 449 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 1: till eight thirty at night. Like I'm not doing the 450 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 1: England game or Europe game, or UK game or wherever 451 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 1: the hell it is. It's usually not even that good. 452 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 1: And then I wake up and I see it's seventeen three, Like, 453 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: you know what, Bryan Dable has done an incredible job. 454 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: He's about to lose this game, probably thirty to ten 455 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: to Aaron Rodgers. No big deal. He just he's still competing. 456 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: Maybe he can get them to seven eight wins. Incredible season. 457 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: Then all and I just like most people, if you 458 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 1: weren't locked into the game, like the Packers seventeen three. 459 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, I look and it's twenty 460 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,439 Speaker 1: to twenty. I'm like, I should probably turn this thing on. 461 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 1: Then it goes twenty seven to twenty. I'm like, Brian 462 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: Dayball and the New York Giants are gonna win this game. 463 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: Flip it on. Aaron Rodgers is driving him down the 464 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 1: field and somehow they get to the red zone and 465 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: he gets two passes batted down on third and fourth. 466 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: And Brian Daball has an atrocious roster. I mean, sa 467 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: Quon Barkley is a really good player, came on, has 468 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: only played now a couple of games, so it's not 469 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 1: like he's even been there the whole time. They do 470 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,439 Speaker 1: not have many good players. I mean they got they 471 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: got a highly paid wide receiver who's pissed off, who 472 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 1: wanted to get traded, and it's just like he's none 473 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: of it matters. None of it matters. Now you can say, 474 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 1: who have they really beat? Well, today, they beat Aaron 475 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: Rodgers across the pond when they were down big Brian 476 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: Dave Ball is doing an incredible job. And I said, 477 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: the major difference to him and all the other New 478 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: England guys is him going to Buffalo, him learning on 479 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: his own. This guy's got it, you know, this guy 480 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: really does. He beat Aaron Rodgers. Beat Aaron Rodgers when 481 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: he's up on you. What a win? What a win 482 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 1: for the New York Giants? How about? And this division 483 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: has been made fun of over and over and they've 484 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: deserved it. They have been consistently terrible. Right The Commanders sucked, 485 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: the Giants have sucked. The Eagles up until last year, 486 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: had had a weird couple of years. And right now 487 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,360 Speaker 1: the Eagles are five and oh, the Giants are four 488 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: and one, and the Cowboys are four and one. They 489 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,360 Speaker 1: are doing a lot of winning in the NFC. So 490 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 1: if it wasn't for the Commanders, this division would be 491 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: an complete powerhouse. Now. I still believe the Giants are 492 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,360 Speaker 1: gonna come back to Earth, but four and one's four 493 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,120 Speaker 1: and one. Man awesome job. And then I just wanted 494 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: to say, r Ip, I don't know if I time 495 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: you wake up on Monday morning, it's official, but it's 496 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: unofficially official. It's over for two guys Matt Rule who 497 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,679 Speaker 1: got paid seven years and sixty two million dollars. And 498 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 1: I don't fault David Tepper for giving him that money. 499 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 1: He was making eight million dollars at Baylor. It's not 500 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: like he was making two and all of a sudden 501 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: Depper came out and start paying him nine. He was 502 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: making a ton of money. And in Texas you don't 503 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: have state income tax. So if I'm paying you eight 504 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:29,880 Speaker 1: eight and a half million dollars, that is a ton 505 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,199 Speaker 1: of cash. And I've never been to Waco, Texas, but 506 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: I can't imagine that money goes a long, long way. 507 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: So when David Temper paid him, other people were interested 508 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 1: in the guy. He wanted to make a splashy hire 509 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 1: the guy. I wouldn't say a media creation because he 510 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 1: had won at Temple and then he had won at Baylor, 511 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 1: but he got a lot of media hype. Now I 512 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,159 Speaker 1: had friends that scouts that went into his program at 513 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: Baylor and loved the guy. They thought he was impressive, 514 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 1: that it carried himself like an NFL guy. Everyone I 515 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: knew thought he was going to be successful in the pros, 516 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: So honestly I kind of did too. Now I did 517 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: go out on a limb, and I picked the Panthers 518 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 1: to win the division. I miss on that one. I 519 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 1: didn't want to pick Brady. I thought the divorce was 520 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: going to derail him. It hasn't, but Temper and this 521 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: combination of of Matt rule has been an utter failure. 522 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: He's now eleven and twenty seven and his biggest I 523 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,439 Speaker 1: don't even say mistake inability to find a quarterback. He 524 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: went from Teddy Bridgewater to Sam Darnold to Baker Mayfield, 525 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 1: and in a crazy way, Baker might be the worst 526 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: of the three. Now I know Baker immediately beat out Sam, 527 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: and Sam might be bad too. Baker is getting worse 528 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: by the week. He can't move. He's inaccurate, it feels 529 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,880 Speaker 1: because he can't move. He's a sitting duck. Now he's 530 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 1: every other play he's getting up limping. You know, this 531 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 1: guy's undoing in the NFL is going to be the 532 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: undoing of a lot of people in the history of 533 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: the league. When you can't figure out the quarterback and 534 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: you're always kind of turning your wheels you get into position, 535 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 1: your offense just sucks. And they played a stat today 536 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: against the Niners. He is now one and twenty six, 537 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: one and twenty six when the opponent scores seventeen points. 538 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: Seventeen points, So if his defense is it lights out 539 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: or his quarterback does not turn the ball over, which 540 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: you know, listen, even Tom Brady's gonna throw a pick 541 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,120 Speaker 1: here and there, your team's gonna fumble. Your margin ferrer 542 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: is nothing because you can't score. So Matt Rule is 543 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,120 Speaker 1: gonna be at Nebraska, He's gonna be at Wisconsin. Hell, 544 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,159 Speaker 1: I mean they might fire bread venables. He might be 545 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 1: at Oklahoma, you know, by the in two weeks. But 546 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: the reason he failed because I watched him. I think 547 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: their defense aculd be pretty solid. Like they got good 548 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: pieces on their team at different players at different positions. 549 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: Their quarterback position is last year it was an abomination 550 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: with Sam Darnold. It got worse by the week, and 551 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 1: then they ended up going to p J. Walker. This 552 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: right now with Baker Mayfield, it's getting worse by the week. 553 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 1: And when you have bottom five quarterback play, because that's 554 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: what the Panthers have had basically two years in a row, 555 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: you have absolutely no chance to win, absolutely none, no 556 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: matter how it could be a tie game and half, 557 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 1: you're gonna lose because over a sixty minute game, when 558 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: you can't score points, you can't create long drives, you 559 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: can't just complete passes on third and six, like you 560 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: can't get off the field, or you keep getting booted 561 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: off the field on third down. Because you just can't 562 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: function as an offense, you have no chance. And I 563 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 1: also think looking back, he had only been in the 564 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: NFL one year. He had only been in the NFL 565 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: one season as an assistant offensive line coach. I don't 566 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: think he's as big as a failure as Urban because clearly, 567 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: like he's a professional, he can handle himself. I mean, 568 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: Urban didn't last the year, but it does feel like 569 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: he's a little over his head, you know. And maybe 570 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: it was just now he has Fitterer, the dude from Seattle. 571 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: Maybe it was a little too late, not that he 572 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: would have helped from the beginning, But I don't know, 573 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: it's just, you know, his NFL career, like he's never 574 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: getting another shot in the NFL. You can't be you know, 575 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: if he ends up getting fired in a couple of weeks, 576 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: he's eleven and twenty nine, Like you don't get a 577 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: second go round. And maybe and the best part is like, sometimes, 578 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: if you've got to be a lifetime college coach, as 579 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: Nick Saban, what that means. That means hundreds of millions 580 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: of dollars. Someone's gonna pay Matt Rule eight, nine, ten 581 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: million dollars a year. Because here's just the reality. No 582 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: different than Nick Saban when he was at Miami or 583 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: Bobby Petrino when he was with the Falcons. These ads 584 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: and people in college football will not judge you. They 585 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 1: do not care. They look at your collegiate resume. In 586 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: his collegiate resume, he won in the NFL, he gets 587 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: his ass kicked, But these ads, they'll open the checkbook. 588 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: Tepper say, see you. I don't know what Dave Tepper does, 589 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: but they got to figure out their quarterback position or 590 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers are gonna suck for a long time. 591 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: The volume
