65
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: and then have a good time. Let's start with a

66
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: night game Niner Seattle. I don't think this is very complicated,

67
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: right When seventy one and nineteen Trent Williams, who is

68
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: going to the Hall of Fame, and Deebo Samuel, who

69
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: is one of the most unique players I've ever seen,

70
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: have started and finished a game for the forty nine Ers,

71
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: they have not lost. They are simply the best team

72
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: in the NFL when those two guys are healthy with

73
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: the rest of their players. I don't even think it's

74
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: debatable at this point, right, But like they went through

75
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: a tough stretch. Obviously, Trent hurt his ankle in the

76
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: Cleveland game and then missed the next two games, and

77
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: Deebo during that game broke his shoulder, and then the

78
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: Niners did not play the next two weeks without those guys. Now,

79
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: part of it was their defense, but their offense was limited.

80
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: I think they scored seventeen points back to back games

81
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: after that point, and a huge part of that is

82
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: missing their Hall of Fame left tackle and one of

83
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: the most versatile players we've ever seen. And I think

84
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: that's what makes Deebo unique, right, I don't think he

85
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: works everywhere. He's part of this group, right and represented

86
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: by the same guy that is DK Metcalf and AJ Brown. Well,

87
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: when I think DK Metcalf and AJ Brown elite outside

88
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: wide receivers, I mean DK is kind of like this,

89
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: I would say poor man's version of Terrell Owens, and

90
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: that's a compliment. Just absolute freak speed, an unstoppable force

91
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: when he's rolling, and AJ Brown is just an elite

92
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: player as a wide receiver. Deebo's kind of this hybrid, right.

93
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: He can at any moment play running back and in

94
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers offense, he's just him and Kyle

95
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: Shanahan have elite chemistry. But when he's playing, he adds

96
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: an element to go with Christian McCaffrey, who we were

97
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: talking before I press record. You know what's crazy is

98
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: when Christian McCaffrey was coming out of Stanford and I

99
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: was living in the Barrier, I watched all of his

100
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: games how I went to some of his practices. Not

101
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: that I underestimated him. I just thought, no way, this

102
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: guy is gonna be this dominant of a running back

103
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I didn't see it like I was like, wait,

104
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna be like Ladanian, Tomlinson or Marshall Fulk.

105
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: We all knew how good he could be a wide receiver.

106
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: My personal take was like, he's gonna ultimately become a

107
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: Wes Welker Julian Edelman as a slot receiver. And I'll

108
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: tell you this, one guy who hammered it home early

109
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: on in his college career till the moment he got

110
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: drafted was David Shaw and basically said, I think everyone

111
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: underestimates how good this guy is as a running back,

112
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: right because the competition, college whatever. I just thought most

113
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: people did not believe that he could just go to

114
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: the NFL and be the best a top five running

115
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: back in the NFL. And let's face it, in twenty

116
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: twenty three, he's the best running back in the NFL.

117
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: We all knew how good of a pass receiver he

118
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: could be, and I knew how how good he could

119
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: be on the edges. I I guess I underestimated how

120
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: physical he was between the tackles, and that was one

121
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: thing that David Shaw hammered home. And obviously David Shaw

122
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: was a hardball guy and they believed him between the tackles.

123
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: They ran an old school offensive Stanford, and this version

124
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: we're seeing of Christian McCaffrey is a much more physical

125
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: player than he was way back then when the Panthers

126
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: drafted him number eight overall. And sometimes I saw this

127
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: like CJ. Stroud, was he disrespected. It's like, guys, he

128
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: went number two overall. You cannot be disrespected in a

129
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: draft in any sport if you go number two overall.

130
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: Just like ultimately, Christian McCaffrey had people that questioned him

131
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: coming out of college. He went eight overall. So the

132
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: league viewed him highly. The league. Actually, I remember talking

133
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: to my buddies Philly at the time had a I

134
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: think a top fifteen pick. They loved him. So the

135
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: league was very very high on him, more probably as

136
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: just this hybrid wide receiver, but he's proven to be

137
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: in the stats speak for it when he's healthy, an

138
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: all time great running back and let's face it, an

139
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: all time great player, and really, at the time when

140
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers made the trade, I thought that

141
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: it was pretty bold, and part of it was trading

142
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: for a running back who's been injured that makes that

143
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: much money. But when you put him with Deebo, Samuel Brandon, Ayuk,

144
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: George Kittle, Trent Williams and Juwan Jennings sneaky really good

145
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: number three wide receiver and Kyle Shanahan is the play caller,

146
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you get this offense that, Let's face it.

147
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: The other hell of fit in the room is brock

148
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: Purty's really good. Like anyone arguing over brock Purty like, yeah,

149
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: he's not Patrick Mahomes. No one's fucking saying he's John

150
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: l Way or Dan Marino. Brock Purty is a really,

151
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: really good player. Where he ranks on the hierarchy, I

152
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: don't know, but he's dramatically better than what seventy five

153
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 1: to eighty percent of the NFL, and on this given team,

154
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: with what he has around him, is damn good. And

155
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: you can't watch the forty nine Ers with brock Perdy

156
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: and go, yep, they could easily win the Super Bowl.

157
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: Like this guy on this team is good enough to

158
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. I've been watching the forty nine

159
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: ers since I started watching sports that at least that

160
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: I can remember, and that is like the early nineties.

161
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: Like my dad loved Joe Montana, swore that Joe Montana

162
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: was better than Steve Young. And I've always said this,

163
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: it's difficult to argue about athletes to me as like

164
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 1: a sports connoisseur when I didn't watch them, Like I

165
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: know that Larry Bird and Magic Johnson and John Elway,

166
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: you know, and guys that played sports in the eighties

167
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 1: and even the seventies were really good, right, like me

168
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: and Joe Green or Kenny Stabler or you name it.

169
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: You know, even rip my guy Vida Blue, who won

170
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: Cy Young's a World Series. If you don't watch a

171
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: guy live, it's hard to have the same argument. Like

172
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: I can argue with you all day long about Steph Curry,

173
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, Alex Rodriguez, you name it, Tiger Woods, people

174
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: that I watched live. It's much more difficult when you didn't.

175
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: So I've been watching the Niners post Steve Young and

176
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: to this day and listen, they've had some really good quarterbacks.

177
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: Jeff Garcia made countless Pro Bowls. Kaepernick is one of

178
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: the most unique you know, couple year runs on a

179
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: fantastic team. We've ever seen elite arm the speed, but

180
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: brock Perdy, like, this guy has a sustainable element to

181
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: his game. There's like a mobile Drew Brees to him.

182
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: And honestly, there has to be mobility to your game

183
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: to me in twenty twenty three, and part of that

184
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: is offensive lineman. Like you don't have five UK Trent

185
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: Williams blocking for you. Most teams have more good defensive

186
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: linemen than you go to have offensive linemen. And two like,

187
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: you need to be able to bail out your play

188
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: caller right now. You just do, and he hasn't. He's accurate,

189
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: he's good, he's unafraid to throw the ball downfield, as

190
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: you saw with Brandon Ayuk. I think brock Perty's good.

191
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: How good where he's going the rest of his career?

192
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're gonna I always hear this, like, well,

193
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen when they have to pay him? He's

194
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: in fucking year two. You don't have to pay him

195
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: till after year four? Like why do we always put

196
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: the cart before the horse? Just take a deep breath.

197
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: He's on the team. He makes eight hundred thousand dollars.

198
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: Part of the argument that's weird about brock Purty is

199
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: like he's getting compared to all these like, well, is

200
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: he better than like Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. He's

201
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: in the second year in the NFL, he was mister

202
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 1: irrelevant in the draft, and he makes like eight hundred

203
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. That's what we're arguing. If brock perty made

204
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: forty million dollars like Dak Prescott or forty five million

205
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: dollars like Josh Allen, we could argue till we're blue

206
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: in the face about the the individual details of every

207
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: single pass he throws. It's part of the deal when

208
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: you make a lot of money. But when you're mister

209
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: irrelevant and you're in your two and you make well

210
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: under a million dollars on your team's salary cap, and

211
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: you were the reason that the team couldn't wait to

212
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: get rid of the number three overall pick, which they

213
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: traded several other first round picks to acquire. Like, I'm sorry,

214
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: it's one of the most incredible draft picks so far

215
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: in his career I've ever seen. It's honestly, in fucking sane.

216
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: What is going on right now in this guy's career, Like,

217
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: think about even Dak Prescott, let's use him for it

218
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: as an example, who's had an incredible career as a

219
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: mid round pick. At one point in time in Dak

220
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: Prescott's career, Mississippi State was like flirting with being the

221
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: number one pick in the country. He was playing in

222
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: the SEC. And let's he got a duy. I think, like,

223
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: you know, within a month of the draft, with which

224
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 1: definitely impacted where he ended up going even by thirty

225
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: forty picks, Like he could have been a second or

226
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: third round pick. But you get a duy, you're gonna

227
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: get dings, which has proven to be like an outlier situation,

228
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott's high character guy. If brock Perty had been

229
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: a third round pick, we could be more I would

230
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: even say critical of games. The guy's a seventh round pick,

231
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 1: and think of what he's doing now. Does he benefit

232
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: from playing with Christian McCaffrey, who might go to the

233
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, Trent Williams, who's gonna go to the

234
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, Deebo Samuel who got as much money

235
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: as DK Metcalf and AJ Brown and Brandon Ayuk, who

236
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: is gonna get twenty plus million dollars a year, of course,

237
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: but I know this, like Jimmy Garoppolo, who signed one

238
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar contract, who was the quarterback of this

239
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: team when they went to the freaking Super Bowl. Can't

240
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: make throws that this guy makes, can't do it, didn't

241
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: have it in the back. And I watched brock Purty,

242
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: you know, the game, especially tonight, going back and forth.

243
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: The Niners had a chance to kind of stomp on

244
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: their throat early and Seattle came out in the second

245
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: half playing great football that they looked more like some

246
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: of the peak Pete Carrol teams. Scored ten points like that,

247
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: and it was immediately a ball game again, twenty four

248
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: to thirteen. And what does brock Purty do with kind

249
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: of you know, the game and the balance in the

250
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, throws an absolute dot to Brandon Ayuk ballgame.

251
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo never did that, and the forty nine ers

252
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: won a freaking ton of games with Jimmy Garoppolo. So

253
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: I think this team is potent. And now we have

254
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: ten games or excuse me, ten days until they play

255
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. But big time performance in a couple

256
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: of big spots tonight and I know he had a

257
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: pick six, And listen, I can live with a pick six.

258
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: I've always said it, like, you can throw picks, are

259
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: you throwing touch are you making explosive plays? For Manning?

260
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: They throw a lot of picks. Who gives a fuck?

261
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: They also throw a lot of touchdowns, win a lot

262
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: of games. Pretty, I can live with them throwing a pick. Whatever,

263
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: do you make explosive plays? Do you make winning plays?

264
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: And he does? Game set match tonight against Seattle on

265
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: the road. And since the forty nine ers have played

266
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: with this guy, they've eviscerated Seattle last year, short week

267
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: Thursday night during the regular season, brought pretty injured, beats them,

268
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: playoff game, second half, destroys them, Tonight, destroys them, plays

269
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: them in a couple weeks nine. There's gonna be enormous

270
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: favors at home Seattle. They're ultimately gonna be a wild

271
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: card team. I think they obviously benefit from playing in

272
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: the NFC. I was thinking about this, if you put

273
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: them on it just a typical year, let's say the

274
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: last ten years where it takes you know, let's use

275
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: the new game inflation, seventeen games, that's gonna take ten

276
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: ten and a half games to make the playoffs. I know,

277
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: every once in a while, nine games will get you in. Clearly,

278
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: this year, you know there's gonna be some nine win

279
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: teams make it. Seattle's not a lock to make the

280
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: playoffs in any given year. Like sometimes if you're Dallas, right,

281
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: who more than likely is not going to win the division,

282
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: they're a lock to make the playoffs on any given year.

283
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: Whether it's six teams or seven teams, Right, you're a

284
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: twelve thirteen win team, you're making the playoffs. That's that's

285
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: a fact. Watching the Seattle team, they're solid and I

286
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: have a lot of respect for what they did getting

287
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: rid of Russ, going with Gino, using the draft picks,

288
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: getting some offensive linemen, ultimately leading you to Witherspoon, you know,

289
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: Jackson Smith like, their team is much more talented over

290
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: the last couple of years since they shifted away from

291
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: Russ and listen, they found a guy. I have a

292
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: ton of respect for Geno Smith. Sometimes it can be

293
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: kind of cheesy if you're watching to night. When he

294
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: did his pregame talk with the NBC guys, he was

295
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: getting work done, and part of that is, like the

296
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: short week. Gino's a tough motherfucker. I mean he is.

297
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: That hit he took last week against Aaron Donald. I

298
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: saw both angles, the one like the all twenty two

299
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: behind where he gets crushed. The side angle it looked

300
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: like he got knocked fifteen feet and most people, but

301
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: some people were like, do you think he just did

302
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: his brock purty ripped his elbow, so I don't know.

303
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: It doesn't look good. Four days later he's starting nothing

304
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: but respect for the guy. He's okay, listen, great story.

305
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: His comment last year all the haters I didn't right

306
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: back was cool. He's an easy guy to root for.

307
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: It's easy to root for anyone in any walk of

308
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: life that people thought sucked eventually overcomes and becomes solid

309
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: and respected. Right. Those are type guys that I have

310
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: a lot of admiration for. It's very easy to tap out.

311
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: It's very easy to say, you know, the fucking chipstn't

312
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: break my way, I got screwed. I should have I

313
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: should have been that it didn't work out. Gino never

314
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: said that. Honestly, his game aged better with time and

315
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: has proven to be had a very very solid career. Right,

316
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: he's much more than a backup. But if he's your

317
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: starting quarterback, you're only going so far. I mean, let's

318
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: be real, right, if you put an all star level

319
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: quarterback on the Seattle team, they would be dramatically better. Now,

320
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 1: they're not gonna suck enough to get a high draft pick.

321
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,959
Speaker 1: I do think they're definitely gonna be snipping around this offseason.

322
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: But when you look at Seattle schedule coming up, they

323
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: got some problems because the way they do this typically

324
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: is they do another Thursday night game. Right, well, I

325
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: mean they do a Thursday night game every week now

326
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: with Amazon, but his upcoming Thursday night game is typically

327
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: two teams that played today. So next week is Seattle

328
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: at Dallas. I don't know about you, but I like

329
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. And then you get a little bit of

330
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: a long break, but you play the forty nine ers.

331
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: And because the End West this year plays the NFC East,

332
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks have not played the Eagles yet, so

333
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: their next three games are the Cowboys, the Niners, and

334
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: the Eagles. There's a realistic chance that they're six and

335
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: eight here at about three and a half weeks, right,

336
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: and hell, they could play pretty good football. They have

337
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: a lot of good players, and they could still lose

338
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: all those games. So it's gonna be difficult for Seattle

339
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: to get to nine and eight. Honestly, even if they

340
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: went eight to nine, when you look at the playoffs,

341
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: they still would be competing for that seven seed. They're

342
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,959
Speaker 1: kind of like exactly what they were last year. You know,

343
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: they have some competitive players, they have flost quarterback. We

344
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: all have a lot of respect for Pete for punting

345
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 1: on Russell Wilson. But until they get a star quarterback

346
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 1: or at least an impactful quarterback, I think they're ceilings limited.

347
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: I really do. And one thing is clear. Russell Wilson

348
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: and Pete Carroll owned the forty nine ers owned them.

349
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: I think his record was like fifteen to two against

350
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers and that dates back to Harbaugh.

351
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,959
Speaker 1: Well with Gino Smith. They have not won a game.

352
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: They've lost every single game they played the forty nine ers,

353
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 1: and that was three last year and one this year.

354
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: So they're oh to four and let's face, in a

355
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, they're gonna be oh to five. And

356
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: then if they were to play in the playoffs, it's

357
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: like a two seven, they're gonna be oh and six.

358
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: So that's part of the problem, is like the team

359
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: now that you're chasing is dominating you. And a big

360
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 1: reason for that is your quarterback's not good enough. You

361
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: have some other flaws, but that that's a major reason.

362
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: I look at players a lot like stocks in the

363
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: sense of things change and I'll change. I'm never married

364
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: to an opinion on a player, but you react to

365
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: what you see. Right, if a stock is losing money

366
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: and you question the company, you're probably not gonna put money,

367
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: you know, into that individual stock. But if you like

368
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,479
Speaker 1: the company and the stock is plummeting, that's actually a

369
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: time to buy because you can get it really cheap. Well,

370
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about Jordan love Right. He had

371
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: never played. There wasn't a lot of like positive talk

372
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: about him, just in general. Even Coward knew a lot

373
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: of people with Green Bay and said, you know what,

374
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: you watch him at practice. Over the years, nothing has

375
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: been too crazy. No one would put a stamp of

376
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: approval like this guy's the next rocket ship, this guy's

377
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: the next Pro Bowl quarterback. And early on in the

378
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: season it was ugly, so all you can do is

379
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: react to what you see. It was really freaking ugly.

380
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: He's been really good the last two weeks, so I

381
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: thought he was a backup most of the season. It

382
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: was hard not to. I watched all the Packer games.

383
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 1: He was not very good. Now we could blame they

384
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: had some injuries. Aaron Jones missed a ton of time,

385
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: some of their wide receivers missed some time. Whatever. When

386
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: you watched Jordan Love, I just didn't have much faith

387
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: in him as a player. But when they played the

388
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: Chargers and when today he played the Detroit line, he

389
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: looked fucking good. There is no arguing that. And it

390
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: goes back to what Gudakin said three or four weeks ago,

391
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: is these last ten games of the season would go

392
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: a long way to determine the future of this guy

393
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 1: on our team. And part of that has to be

394
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: they didn't pay him much money. They could easily cut

395
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: him when the season's over. They could easily just make

396
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: them the backup again if they did not win another

397
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: game and draft a guy. They had options. And part

398
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: of that is I gave them a lot of credit

399
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: for the way they handled this contract. It would have

400
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: been easy to be like let's pick up the fifth

401
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: year option. They refuse to do that. They gave him

402
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:40,719
Speaker 1: like this crazy two year cension for eleven million dollars. Well,

403
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,199
Speaker 1: if he's gonna play like these last two weeks, not

404
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: only will he be the starting quarterback next year, they

405
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,959
Speaker 1: have a chance to make the playoffs this year because

406
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: you can't argue that they have a lot of talent

407
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: on offense. Right the young wide receivers are really good.

408
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: They're explosive, they can run, they've been making plays hell,

409
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: they would break tackles today, And I understand the last

410
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: two weeks have been against two bad pass defenses, two

411
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: teams that you don't look at like, yeah, that's Deon

412
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: Sanders and Derell Reeves back there. But it's the NFL.

413
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 1: These guys get paid a lot of money too. And

414
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: the Packers' skill guys have been making a ton of plays.

415
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: But most importantly, Jordan Love has been throwing dots. And

416
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: I've never argued, going back to his time when he

417
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: was coming out of Utah State, his physical attributes are

418
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: what a lot of scouts like. He's athletic, he's got

419
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: a big arm, he's got a lot of raw tools

420
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: like this is not Kenny Picket or Mac Jones, but

421
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: a lot of raw tools guys never you know, materialize

422
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: into anything and you watch them these last really five

423
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: days and you go, holy shit, that is something so

424
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: like a stock. Things can change fast. Once things start

425
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: going in a positive direction. Whoever is backing you, whether

426
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: it's people with money or you're and your head coach,

427
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna be more bullish and positive on you. So,

428
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 1: Jordan love Is, I would say, over the last five

429
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: days change the trajectory of his status as the quarterback

430
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: long term. Now you have to keep this going. But

431
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: you have games like this in the bag. It's more

432
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: than positive. I know they were showing stats comparing him

433
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 1: to Farv and Aaron Rodgers through his first whatever games,

434
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: his first Thanksgiving game, all that, I don't give a

435
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: fuck about. All that stuff's irrelevant. These last five days,

436
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: the game against the Chargers and the game against the Lions.

437
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 1: That's real deal football. That's a real talent. That's a

438
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,959
Speaker 1: guy who can be a starting quarterback for a wild

439
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: card team. And if he can keep this up, like honestly,

440
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: these last two weeks might have been good enough for

441
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: him to be the quarterback next year, and part of

442
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: it is he controls their own destiny in terms of

443
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: he plays like that, they win games, they go eight

444
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: to nine, nine and eight, They're not gonna be drafting

445
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: high enough to draft a good play anyway, so he'll

446
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: probably just be the quarterback no matter what. But you

447
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: go nine and eight in the NFC, you'd be the

448
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: seventh seed. And let's face it, if they're the seventh seed,

449
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: a lot of you guys have DM me over. You know,

450
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: Packers have a lot of fans. Lafleur sucks good to Kins.

451
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: What are these? I'm sorry? He like you go nine

452
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: and eight. I would give those guys an extension. You

453
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: go nine and eight with Jordan Love and maybe in

454
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: five years. That sounds crazy because Jordan Love's a good player,

455
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 1: But if they keep doing this and they keep trending

456
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:38,719
Speaker 1: toward a positive, you know, above five hundred results at

457
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: the end of the season, I'd have no problem giving

458
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: them a contract sension. And on the Detroit Lions, they

459
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: easily could have lost last week. I mean easily. Now

460
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: they ended up forcing the issue on the Chicago Bears,

461
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: but they were getting their ass kicked and they have

462
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: a major problem right now. Their defensive backs are not

463
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 1: good are They're just not good enough and they are

464
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: getting sliced and diced in the passing game. It's a

465
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: major problem for them. And offensively if their quarterback is

466
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: gonna turn the ball over in today when you have

467
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: fumble the picks over the last couple like, it's gonna

468
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: be a problem. And a team that I saw today

469
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: and definitely a team I saw for the majority of

470
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 1: last week like that. That team's not good enough to

471
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: even sniff the Eagles, the forty nine Ers, the Dallas Cowboys,

472
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: and you blow a game like today, Like, let's face it,

473
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: the longer a season goes to me, I've always said this,

474
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: like the first four or five six weeks Thursday night games,

475
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: even if you're the road team, you don't have that

476
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: big of an advantage. But you get to Thanksgiving early December,

477
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: and you are the road team and you win a

478
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: Thursday night game that doesn't feel like a win, that

479
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: feels like a win and a half, that feels like

480
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: an incredible win. Last year, the Tennessee Titans beat the

481
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: Packers on Thursday night game, and they got so drunk

482
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: on the plane. The row See got a duhy I mean,

483
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: you're just like, we just want a Thursday night game

484
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: late in the see it is an incredible victory and

485
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: it's to do it against the division rival, but it's

486
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: also a kick in the balls as a loss. I

487
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 1: mean today was the final score to me is not

488
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: indicative of what we watched. And I don't know about

489
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: you guys, but for us on the West Coast, lock

490
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 1: in the night game and we lock in the morning game.

491
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 1: The mid game you're eating. You're watching. It's cowboys watching.

492
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: They're beating the shit out of them. But that Lions game,

493
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to say it was over early, but

494
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: it felt over early. And those first two drives with

495
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 1: Jordan Love scoring like Detroit, this is really what you're doing.

496
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: And I'm a big believer in Dan Campbell, but I

497
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: thought they got worked. He can say that, you know

498
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: the fake punt all you you got your fucking ass kicks.

499
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: That team came in today to beat your ass and

500
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: quarterback played like that against your secondary. That's a problem

501
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: because one thing the Eagles have is Devonte Smith, A J.

502
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: Brown and God is gonna come back right. One thing

503
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: the Niners have is Brandon I, George Kittle, and Deebo Sam,

504
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 1: How are you gonna cover these people? Like you're gonna

505
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: have to play one of these teams because I'm gonna

506
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 1: pick you more than likely because you're not gonna be

507
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 1: the four seats. So you're not gonna play the Cowboys

508
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: in the first round. In the second round, you're gonna

509
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: play the Eagles, the Niners. How are you gonna beat them?

510
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: How are you gonna beat them? And I don't think

511
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: you can now with the defense that I'm seeing the

512
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: way you're playing. But regardless, Dan Campbell's dide an incredible job.

513
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: But today was Today was a rough loss. Here's the

514
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: thing with the Cowboys. I was looking right before we

515
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: hopped on their point differential and their point differential right now.

516
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: Now the Eagles are gonna play Sunday against the Bills.

517
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: But let's just say the Eagles win by say they

518
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: win by one point. I mean most of their games

519
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: have been tight. Their point differential and the Cowboys point

520
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: differential would be separated by ninety nine points. The Cowboys

521
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: point different rental right now is plus one sixty two.

522
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: Whatever Dallas does against any of these random teams is

523
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: kind of irrelevant. Now when you put him against Washington,

524
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: when you put him against the Giants, when you put

525
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: him against anybody beside the Ears. On the Cardinals, that

526
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: isn't good. They beat the living shit out of them.

527
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: Bland shot out Fresno State set an NFL record five

528
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: pick six in a season. Think about this because I

529
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: was watching the game, the Niner game with my girlfriend

530
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: and Quandary Digs made a play and Maria was like, wait,

531
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: I thought Digs played for the Bills. I'm like, yeah,

532
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: there is another Bills. There's another Digs that plays for

533
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: the Bills. He's not related to this Digs, but that

534
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: Digs that plays for the Bills has a brother that

535
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: plays for the Cowboys, who actually a couple of years

536
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: ago had like twenty five interceptions in a season, but

537
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: he tore his acl and people thought the Cowboys are

538
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: in a crumble when their secondary when he went down.

539
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: But then this guy from President State that was drafted

540
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago has turned into like Ed

541
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: Reed meets Dean Sanders, So it's like they found these guys.

542
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: The last couple of years. Nobody, including the forty nine ers,

543
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: obviously the Chiefs of the Ravens, consistently gets a team

544
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: in the equivalent of like a Draymond Green choke hold

545
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: and just makes them tap out. And that's what the

546
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: Cowboys did today. And I'm glad because at least I

547
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: don't for my family. That's kind of when we were eating,

548
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: we were getting the food ready, we were just enjoying

549
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: each other's company, and you would just look up another touchdown.

550
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: You'd look up Dak Prescott's smiling, another touchdown, and that's

551
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,719
Speaker 1: what the Cowboys have done. And I think at this

552
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: point in time, I think you're pretty good, Dallas. I

553
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: really do like I take you seriously. Like if I

554
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: was doing my rankings in the NFC, luckily they're gonna

555
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: play here in whatever ten days Niners Eagles or Eagles Niners,

556
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: and you're clearly number three. I would put you ahead

557
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: of the Lions. If you guys played the Lions, either

558
00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: in Detroit or in Dallas, I would like your chances.

559
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: If it was a playoff game, I would one pick Dallas,

560
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: even though it'd be very unlikely for you guys to play,

561
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: because you know, I guess technically, I get you could.

562
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: Now you're not gonna play in the first round, I

563
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: guess you could play in the second round, depending on

564
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: where their seating was. But you're good, but you gotta

565
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: beat some real teams. And I think it's gonna come

566
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: down in a couple of weeks you play Philly again. Uh,

567
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: and then the playoffs. That's what you're gonna be judged on.

568
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: How you play in these big games. And right now,

569
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: like when you play these shitty teams, when you play

570
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: these teams who are gonna fire their coach, who are

571
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: gonna be drafting really high, you beat the living shit

572
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: out of them. It's almost like an NBA team, you know.

573
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: I remember when the Warriors were really good in the

574
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: regular season. They would beat I was going to a

575
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: lot of those games, even before Kevin Durant got there,

576
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: and it was fun to go to. But you'd look

577
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: up in the third quarter and they'd have like forty points.

578
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: I would just leave. I just drive home, Like what's

579
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 1: the point of this? This is like this is it

580
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: was fun to watch. I mean, watch Steph Curry or

581
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: Clay Thompson go for like forty, but the game would

582
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: be over before the fourth quarter even started. And that's

583
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: what the Cowboys kind of do to a lot of

584
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: these teams. And now to me, it's all about the field,

585
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: the Eagles and the Niners. Can you beat those teams?

586
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: And that's that's all that matters this season. That's that's

587
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: how you're gonna be judged. And Washington, I have no take.

588
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: I don't think any of it matters. Ye know. I

589
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: don't think Ron Rivera is gonna be there fucking nuke

590
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: the thing. Take dynamite around the whole building. If I'm

591
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: the new owner, blow it all up, start over. Does

592
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: that mean Belichick? Does that mean call Harbaugh? I don't

593
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: know exactly where you look, but something clearly has to change.

594
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: I bet a lot of people listening or watching have

595
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: been in an accident. I bet a lot of people

596
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: have been into an intense car accident. And let's face it,

597
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: not knowing who to call for help is hard. Hiring

598
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: Morgan and Morgan is easy because Morgan and Morgan is

599

Speaker 1: cell phone. That's four The people dot com slash Jochen

612
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: or pound law pound five two nine from your cell phone.

613
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: This is a paid advertisement. A couple quick things before

614
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: we get out of here. I've seen so many headlines

615
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: about Mike Vrabel's job security, and sometimes I think to myself,

616
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: is this the dumbest headline I've ever seen. Mike Vrabel's

617
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: job security is his job on the line, and I

618
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,359
Speaker 1: don't know if that's a media fabricated thing. I don't

619
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: know if the owner is legitimately mad because they're losing.

620
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 1: All I know is this, If Mike Vrabel ever were

621
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: to be fired at the end of this season, do

622
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 1: you know how many teams would line up to hire him?

623
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 1: That would include, especially if Ryan Day loses in a

624
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: couple of days, Ohio State immediately firing Ryan Day and

625
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: offering Mike Vrabel one hundred and twenty one hundred and

626
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars, Washington, you name it. Every team that

627
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: has no the Raiders, the Chargers would be all over

628
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 1: the guy. Mike Vrabel is really really good. We all

629
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: knew coming into the season, and I had a lot

630
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: of respect for the guy. Obviously picked Jacksonville to win

631
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 1: the division, but a lot of people kept DM and

632
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 1: me like John, I think you're underrest me. In the Titans,

633
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: I'm just like, their teams is not good enough. Their

634
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 1: team is just not good enough. Tanny Hill got hurt obviously,

635
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: they trade byered, but like their team socks. You give

636
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,919
Speaker 1: Bill Walsh or Parcells be their head coach, they're having

637
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 1: similar outcomes. Mike Rabel could be the head coach of

638
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 1: my team any day of the week. So anytime I

639
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: see a headline about like Rabel's job security, what are

640
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: we talking about? The Brady comment that I think he

641
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 1: made to Stephen a bit about you know, basically just

642
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: the mediocrity around the NFL with players and coaches. Let

643
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: me start with coaches. I think a lot of coaches,

644
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 1: not head coaches, but you know, Brandon Saley ultimately becomes

645
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: a head coaches, but a lot of assistant coaches. A

646
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: lot of people have got into coaching football that maybe

647
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: would not have thirty forty years ago because of the

648
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: time that goes into it, and because like you don't

649
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: really have a life relative to a lot of other jobs.

650
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: But the one thing you have if you get to

651
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: be a position coach, like a wide receiver coach, a

652
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: quarterback coach, an aligned coach in the National Football League,

653
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: you make so much goddamn money relative to the rest

654
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: of society. You understand, Like a quarterback coach in the

655
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: NFL makes seven hundred and fifty grand and he signs

656
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: a multi year contract. So when I hear Brady say that,

657
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: like the coaching has got a lot worse, Well, yeah,

658
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 1: anytime there's a lot of money in any given industry,

659
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: it's gonna attract a lot of people that maybe don't

660
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: actually care about it. They just want to be associated

661
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: with said profession because it pays so much money. Right,

662
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: It's like anything in life. It's like most industries, the

663
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: moment things start taking off financially, people gravitate that weren't

664
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: there before I worked with Andy Reid. Andy Reid has

665
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: made a lot of money for a long time. Andy

666
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: Reid would be coaching football if you paid him in

667
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 1: fucking ice cream, even cheeseburgers, if you paid them one

668
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars, right or whatever. I mean in

669
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: all seriousness, like if you paid them one hundred fifty grand,

670
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: he would coach football no matter what. Bill Belichick, Pete Carroll,

671
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,760
Speaker 1: both guys probably. I mean Bill makes twenty million, Pete

672
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: makes eighteen million. They have been coaching football since you

673
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,919
Speaker 1: got paid nothing forty five years ago. They do not care.

674
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 1: They are addicted to the sport now. Obviously they were

675
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: used to making a lot of money. It helps. They

676
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,879
Speaker 1: did not get into the profession for anything financially. They

677
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: got into the business only for money, honestly, even watching

678
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: like Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay because of their families,

679
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,959
Speaker 1: Like those guys fell in love with the sport well

680
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 1: before money became involved. And I don't know these people

681
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 1: because I was just like my time in Philly, I

682
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: was around a lot of like Sean mcdermot's, Matt Naggi's

683
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: Brett viaches. Guys that worked for Andy did just Doug Peterson.

684
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: They just love football. That would have been coaching football

685
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: if you paid them, you know, whatever was enough to

686
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: feed their family. Obviously, all these guys make a lot

687
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 1: of money now, But like, I never, like for one second,

688
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: crossed my mind. And when I started in football with

689
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: Pat Hill, the dude took so much pride in his

690
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: program and at the time he was one of the

691
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: highest paid non Power five coaches in the country. But

692
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,800
Speaker 1: like he would lock the doors around the whole building

693
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: every night before he left, essentially like he owned the building,

694
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: even though obviously he's a head football coach. You don't

695
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: own the building. But he took ownership in it. He

696
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: loved the program, he loved football. He was addicted to

697
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 1: the sport. And I think a lot of coaches around football,

698
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: given how much money is on the line, it's not

699
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: the same. How could it be. It's impossible, right if

700
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: if in nineteen ninety two a position coach made eighty grand,

701
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 1: even if that was a lot of money at the time,

702
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 1: it's not relative to that same position coach making eight

703
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five thousand dollars a year right, that

704
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: guy is immediately a borderline one percenter, especially depending on

705
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 1: the state he lives in. So I agree with Tom.

706
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 1: The coaching has gotten worse. That's what money creates when

707
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: it comes to the players. One Tom benefited a lot.

708
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: Like Tom. You play the Bills and Jets right in

709
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: Dolphins forever, and most of those teams on a given year,

710
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: all three of them were typically pretty shitty. So you

711
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: got the bank a bunch of wins against a bunch

712
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:39,919
Speaker 1: of average players. But part of the reason it's hard

713
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 1: to develop players now is because the players negotiated and

714
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:49,720
Speaker 1: fought to have limited practice. When I first got became

715
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,479
Speaker 1: a graduate assistant at Fresne State in two thousand and eight,

716
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: we had three straight weeks of double days and Fresno

717
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: was like one hundred and eight hundred and nine degrees

718
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: training camp every single day morning afternoon, full padded practice.

719
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: Do you think Pat Hill just made that up? No,

720
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: he learned that from Bill fucking Belichick when he worked

721
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: in the Cleveland Browns. Then I got hired in Philadelphia

722
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: and that first year was before the new CBA in

723
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: twenty eleven. We went double day after double day after

724
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: double day. Goal line just intense practice. I remember being

725
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: on the sideline like Jesus, the NFL is no joke. Hell,

726
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: even back to my time at Fresno State, I remember

727
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: scouts coming up to me and Drew Hill, who's now

728
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 1: at Oklahoma as their GM, going like God, pat run

729
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: some of the most physical practices in the country. I

730
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 1: thought that was normal. That died in college and the

731
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: pros over the last eight nine years. You're not allowed

732
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: to practice in pads in any other sport, whether it's tennis,

733
00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: whether it's golf, whether it's baseball. You can manipulate a game, right.

734
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: I can take BP against Pedro Martinez if it's tennis,

735
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: like I can just play a game against Roger Federer.

736
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: Right in basketball, we can go full speed five on five.

737
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,800
Speaker 1: The only way you can practice what we just witnessed

738
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: today is to play football is in pads. No one

739
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:23,479
Speaker 1: practicing pads anymore. So, of course, the development has gotten

740
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: dramatically worse. The only way to get better at podcasting

741
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: is I don't know podcast so you can go to practice.

742
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: Did you see the clip of the Miami has hard

743
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 1: Knocks right now and they were playing It was the

744
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 1: week of the Raider game and this guy a practice

745
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: squad guy or maybe he's on the team, I don't know.

746
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: Number he was pretending to be Max Crosby in practice

747
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: and it was, you know, he was getting a lot

748
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: of credit, like he'd hit to a LA and two

749
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 1: was like, thanks man, thanks man. But if you watch

750
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: that film, just type it in guy Max Crosby, Miami Dolphins.

751
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 1: That practice. No one's wearing any pads. It's all shells

752
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 1: and a helmet. And it's like, I don't know, fifty

753
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: speed of an NFL game. And I'm not blaming the

754
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. That's what every team looks like in the

755
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 1: National Football League. But that's football now, like that, That's

756
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: that's what it is. So it's hard for me. I know,

757
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,399
Speaker 1: Brady shitting all these players, Like Bro, you were one

758
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: of the lead dogs pushing for this and a couple

759
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 1: quick games, huge game Bills Eagles. Obviously, if the Bills

760
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: were to beat the Eagles, NFC gets weird fast because

761
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 1: then that Niners Eagles game becomes, I mean, the biggest

762
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: game since the Chiefs game. Because that Chiefs game, I

763
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: don't know, if you saw twenty nine million people watched

764
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: last I check. That's a lot of people watching the

765
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 1: NFL game, so that game would be fucking massive in

766
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: two weeks. And obviously the Bills is in must win territory.

767
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: And in the other game that's really fascinating to me

768
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: would be the Texan in the Jacks. And if the

769
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 1: Texans win, all of a sudden, you have the same

770
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: record as the Jags and we're like I thought, I

771
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 1: thought Dan Campbell was a lock Coach of the Year,

772
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: but I would say Demiko would get right back in

773
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 1: the mix with a Dan Campbell lost if Demiko beats

774
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: the Jags, I kind of like the Jacks just because

775
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 1: I have nothing. I'm a huge Texans guy. CJ. Strit

776
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: has blown me away. I've loved Will Anderson for three years.

777
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: It feels like they're a year away. But sometimes you

778
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: think of team's a year away, and all of a sudden,

779
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 1: you look up and they're eleven wins. So who would

780
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 1: if I would have told you at the beginning of

781
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 1: the season that the last weekend in November that the

782
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: Texans Jags game would be one of the better games

783
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 1: of the Sunday Slate thought I was crazy, But that's

784
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: where we're at. Okay, bold take of the Week brought

785
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:53,359
Speaker 1: to you by Guinness. Typically we do sports stuff here

786
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: and I've nailed some right. Guy was gonna get fired

787
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: and ultimately, you know, Frank Reich demoted him self to

788
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 1: give his offensive coordinator and let's face it, Frank Rice

789
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 1: is going to get fired as well. I think that

790
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: feels like a lock at this point in time, the

791
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: Caleb situation, the Texans beating the Bangles. But I want

792
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: to get a little personal here for Thanksgiving and my

793
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: ball take of the week is it really hit me

794
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: tonight spending time with family, Spend more time with family,

795
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: Spend more time with the people you love. I love

796
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 1: what I do. I'm very lucky that I get to

797
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 1: watch football talk about football for a living that gets

798
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: to pay my bills. But had my mom, had my

799
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: brother here for Thanksgiving, and I just don't think we value,

800
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 1: especially with cell phones, and how much time we're distracted,

801
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,359
Speaker 1: whether it's our wife, whether it's our children, whether it's

802
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 1: just people that we really care about in life. With

803
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: let's face it, the older you get, that number gets smaller.

804
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 1: Is my ball take of the week is really value

805
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: your time? And obviously Thanksgiving weekend, you got family in town.

806
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: Over the next month, whether it's Hanukkah, whether it's Christmas,

807
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 1: spend some time, like quality time with your family. I

808
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: could give you some crazy Jim Harball walks out. I've

809
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 1: been a million of those, and I've got a couple

810
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: of right. But you know, as someone that you know

811
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 1: lost a father several years ago and you're just you

812
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: just miss people, and you realize you know, nothing's guaranteed

813
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 1: in this in this world, you never know, So just

814
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:33,720
Speaker 1: just really really value everyone in your life, value your family,

815
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 1: Enjoy this weekend. And I would imagine most of you,

816
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,520
