33
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: How are we doing? My people? Hopefully better than me,

34
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: because I'm pretty worked up over what I just witnessed.

35
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: The officiating of that game ruined, ruined the experience, it

36
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: really did on what should have been a special night

37
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: for the NFL. Aaron Rodgers trying to will his team back,

38
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: keep his team in the mix. The Bills a couple

39
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: of games they've dropped, need to get it rolling again.

40
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: Star of the League or one of them of Josh

41
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: Allen against this legendary player who's holding on for dear

42
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: life new code. It just it was bad. So I

43
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: got to talk about the officiating. Obviously, the game itself,

44
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: some crazy moments, miss field goals, hail Mary's. There's just

45
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on. It was hard to keep

46
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: track because it was so it was just so jumbled.

47
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: It was just constant. There was no flow to it

48
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: because of the officiating. I know Roger and no one

49
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: in the league office cares, but us the consumer, I

50
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: don't know. We just keep the league going. Would just

51
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: like it to go away a little bit, So we

52
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: will dive into that. I think I'll save the penhouse

53
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: in the outhouse of the league for tomorrow for Wednesday's show.

54
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: I also just want to chime into some other stuff

55
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: about McCarthy, Sirianni Stefanski, all these guys, ends with Ease

56
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: and Jim Harbaugh, who's who who faced a little heart scare,

57
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,399
Speaker 1: but you know he's a tough SOB. He'll be all right.

58
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: And what else do I want to hit on? And

59
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: I want to I want to do a couple of warts.

60
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: There's some funny stuff that happened this weekend and just

61
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: some stuff that kind of crazy going on with a

62
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: couple of players that are just dominating right now that

63
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if people would have thought this offseason

64
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: that they'd be quite this good. Of course, we'll do

65
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: a mail bag at John Middlecoffin is the Instagram. Fire

66
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: in those dms, Keep firing those dms. I'll do a big,

67
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: big mail bag on Wednesday to the show as well,

Speaker 1: Appreciate everyone that has and yeah, talk some football. But

71
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: before we do to the game, I need to tell

72
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: you about my friends, my partners, and the official ticketing

73
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: app of this podcast. As you guys know, just went

74
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: to a game on Saturday and it was because of

75
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: these guys and I've been using this ticketing app for

76
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: a long time. There is not an app that is

77
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,559
Speaker 1: easier to use in terms of searching for the event

78
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: you want, searching for a team that you want to

79
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: go to see, and then once you find out the

80
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,679
Speaker 1: game or event you want to see, choosing the price

81
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,600

Speaker 1: range of what you want to spend, you know exactly

85
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: how it's gonna look. I've done it on so many

86
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: different events, whether it be concerts, whether it be games,

87
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: all sports, NBA, hockey, football, and when you get there,

88
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,440

Speaker 1: You know what's sad about tonight is I wish I

97
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:18,119
Speaker 1: could dive in to Aaron Rodgers gritty performance, Josh Allen

98
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,679
Speaker 1: and the Bills shoving the ball down the Jets' throat

99
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: in the first half and taking a page out of

100
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan and take control of the game. The craziness

101
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: that was the end of the first half, and then

102
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: the start of the second half the actual football, because

103
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: that's why most people listening spent three hours of their

104
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: night on Monday and do every week to watch football.

105
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: I don't don't know how many people fit in MetLife,

106
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: sixty five seventy thousand people that pay a boatload of money.

107
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: These tickets are not cheap use anyone that uses that

108
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: game time app nosy get a little discount. It's expensive

109
00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: to go to these games and the referees and listen officiating.

110
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: I'll be the first to admit I understand it's difficult

111
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: in the NBA, in the NFL baseball, there's not an

112
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 1: excuse that she just go to robo ump. But I

113
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: get it. That's why we got replay, and I get

114
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: that they get a lot of pressure from the league office.

115
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: We got to protect the quarterbacks totally for it. This

116
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: league is built on us turning it on and not

117
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: having to watch backup quarterbacks. We want to watch Aaron

118
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: Rodgers first, Josh Allen, I get it, but there has

119
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,799
Speaker 1: to be a line, and tonight I felt we didn't

120
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: cross the line. We burned that line fucking down and

121
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: jumped the shark, and it was it was borderline unwatchable.

122
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: It honestly made me really mad. I love football. I've

123
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: dedicated my professional life to working at it and talking

124
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: about it. I would be doing this in terms of

125
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: watching all these games, whether I sold insurance or dug ditches,

126
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: and I would be just as angry if I was

127
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: doing that as I am doing this. That was such

128
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: a major fu to the coaches who are coaching for

129
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: their jobs. Obviously, one guy literally just got fired last week,

130
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: and if the Jets don't win, all these guys are

131
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: going to get ship canned. It's over every single one

132
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: of them. Now. Listen. I'm not saying I feel bad

133
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: for him in the sense that most of them are

134
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: making a ton of money, but they still have to

135
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: uproot their family. It's a pain in the ass. And

136
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: there are some guys on the staff not making that

137
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: much with sucks. The players that bust their ass training

138
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: three sixty five to put on a show for us.

139
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: These calls that like these roughing the passer calls, I

140
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: think it's pretty clear what one is and what one

141
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: is not now, and it's pretty clear when a guy

142
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: falls on a quarterback like that happened to Aaron Rodgers,

143
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: like that happened to Josh Allen. When it's a violent,

144
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: aggressive move, I get it, even if I'm not quite

145
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: comfortable with it. I was cool with the eighties and

146
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: the nineties, but the money has changed, the league has changed,

147
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: the concussion lawsuits. I understand it. Tonight was a joke.

148
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: Those two calls, and obviously there were seven hundred million

149
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: other calls borderline ruined that game, which there was a

150
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: ton on the line. Aaron Rodgers is literally kind of

151
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: playing for his career. Do you think Aaron Rodgers are

152
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: gonna play anymore? If this team wins six or seven games,

153
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: you need to, I'll come back. I have a theory.

154
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: I think you'll like kind of pull up Brett far

155
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: of this offseason if that's the case. But like there

156
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: was obviously a lot on the line for the Jets

157
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 1: to night. The Bills have just looked like crap the

158
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: last two weeks have dominated this division. Needed this game

159
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: just to get back on track, to get rolling, and

160
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: both those two calls had just major ramifications on the game. Honestly,

161
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: those specific two calls and there were a million other

162
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: crappy ones, could have dictated the outcome of the game.

163
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: And listen javon Kinlaw. If I was the Jets, I

164
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: would cut him to But that's not about the penalties.

165
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: It's because he's a terrible football player. If you play

166
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: Javon Kinlaw, who I got news for you, is a

167
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: Robert solid guy. And I would imagine Jeff Ulbrick, who

168
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: does not control the roster, will want him off the

169
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: roster tomorrow. But that's because when you put him on

170
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: the field, he will get dominated awful draft pick by

171
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers major with That's why he's on

172
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: the Jets, because they didn't want him anymore. But to

173
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 1: call a penalty in pro sports, this drives me nuts

174
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: in the NBA when you team me up for saying

175
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: screw you or fu like. This ain't little league, This

176
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: ain't even college. This is a multi billion dollar business

177
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: where we're all fighting for our professional lives. And if

178
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: I say something that might quote unquote cross the line

179
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: for you to throw a fifteen yard unsportsmanlike conduct, that

180
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: just cannot happen. It's simply unacceptable. Tonight was a complete

181
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: embarrassment for the NA and I get it. Roger and

182
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: the people of the league office don't give a shit.

183
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: You know why, because millions of people watched that money

184
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: train's gonna keep flowing on in none of it matters.

185
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: But there's gonna come to a point when we turn

186
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: on Aaron Rodgers, one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time,

187
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: who might be playing in the last season of his career,

188
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: and this might be one of the last important games

189
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: because the season might get away from and Josh Allen

190
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: one of the stars of the league. And that's what

191
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: we get. Obviously, some of these penalties are justified. I

192
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: get it. I don't want to see a penalty every play,

193
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: But the guy holds it jumped to shark tonight. It

194
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: felt like these guys lost the plot and it ruined

195
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: the game. It simply did. Unless you're a Bills fan,

196
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: and you should be really happy like that was. That

197
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: was awful. This is coming from someone who loves this

198
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: shit that I can't tell you how mad I am

199
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: right now having to talk about this. It was just

200
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: a joke. Players get fun aka cut, coaches always get fired,

201
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: gms get fired, Fans get frustrated because their team sucks.

202
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: Nothing ever happens to these referees. Why can't tomorrow all

203
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: three of those guys be demoted. We cannot have you

204
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: guys calling a game Monday night football, Monday night football,

205
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: Jets Bills, that's what you roll out. It can't happen. Honestly,

206
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: I was surprised there were some hits. There was a

207
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 1: pass to Garrett Wilson in the end zone which he

208
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: kind of caught and then it got blown up. Thought

209
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 1: there would be a penalty there. Thought there would be

210
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: a penalty on the Taylor rap big hit late in

211
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: the game. Honestly, I was expecting a penalty on every

212
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: single play. Not every big hit is a penalty. This

213
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: is football. This ain't softball. You have to allow people

214
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: to play football. All these guys know the rules. I

215
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: say this all the time about college football. Throwing a

216
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: kid out is the most egregious thing happening in the

217
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: entire sport right now, because no one in twenty twenty

218
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: four that this is not nineteen seventy eight. No one's

219
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 1: trying to hurt anybody anymore. We all know the rules.

220
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 1: Take that fucking rule out. That's a conversation for another day.

221
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: I can't tell you how disappointed I am that I

222
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: had to start talking about this, but that's how it

223
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: worked up. I am that was that was beyond egregious.

224
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: And it happened over and over and over and over again.

225
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: It never stopped. It was insane. I don't even know

226
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 1: where to start with the game. I mean, the Bills

227
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: came out today and Joe Brady, who's rocking that chain

228
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: he likes to be cool guy with the Jordans, came

229
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: out with the Kyle Shanahan game plan, and all I've

230
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: heard is like the Jets on defense, the Jets number

231
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: two defense ran the ball right down their throat zone,

232
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: right zone, left up the gut, and Ray Davis, the

233
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: fourth round pick from Kentucky, looked like James Cook two

234
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: point zero. I mean, they were shredding him that first

235
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: drive to go up seven to three. It was like damp.

236
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: This Jets team is about to get destroyed. Then the

237
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: game settled down a little bit. The Jets were in

238
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: major trouble toward the end of the half. The Bills

239
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: score with twenty seconds left in the first half. They're

240
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 1: also getting the football right, so they go up seventeen

241
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 1: to twenty, or excuse me, it's thirteen to ten. They

242
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: go up twenty to ten at with twenty seconds left

243
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: to go. In the first half. I think the half's over,

244
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna kick it out thirty yard line, kind of

245
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: kneel it whatever. I go to take out the trash.

246
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: I walk back in Sean McDermott's talking. I look up,

247
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: it's twenty to seventeen. Obviously I rewind Aikman goes create

248
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: is Hail Mary thrower of all time? They're showing the

249
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: highlights of the Giants Hail Mary, the Cardinals Hail Mary.

250
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, that seven points acts out didn't

251
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: even count because they just cancel each other out. So

252
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: it went from like, are the Bills gonna have seven points?

253
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: Get the ball back? If they score, kick a field

254
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: goal that could be a ten or a fourteen point swing.

255
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: Then the Bills get the ball in the second half

256
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: only up three points, drive right down the field, their

257
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: kicker miss the field goal, so instead of being a

258
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: ten point swing to zero point swing, and then the

259
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: Jets next drive they drive kick a field goal. The

260
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: Jets somehow actually gained three points, and now we got

261
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: a twenty twenty game that was insane, Like, honestly, when

262
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: the Bills scored with twenty seconds left, I thought, you

263
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: know what this has got thirty five to twenty written

264
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: all over it, and that little swing was huge and

265
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: like ultimately then the game got weird. The wind started

266
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: pumping zero lines, missing field goals, one right, one left,

267
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: even Aikman said on the second one, even when you

268
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: go to the spot or the side that's less windy,

269
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: it's like a golfer. Man, you hit one in the

270
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: water to the right. A couple holes later, there's water

271
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: on your left. It's in your dome. And Akman's like

272
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: eve though, like you're gonna try to overcompensate. What did

273
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: he do? He hooked it left, dink, He jinked two,

274
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: and that would have even if he just hits one,

275
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: you got a tie game. Maybe the end of game

276
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: weren't overtime, but it's hard to the game was so

277
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: discombobulated because of the officiating. There was no flow to it.

278
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: It's hard to have a huge takeaway. Like on the

279
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: Bills specifically, I know their quarterback is elite, and when

280
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: it came down to it, what happened. Great play called

281
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: by Joe Brady on the kind of the fake handoff,

282
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: boom roll Josh Allen out first down, he can do that.

283
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: He made some throws at night that were awesome. Honestly,

284
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: they left some on the table. Aaron Rodgers a little

285
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: bit of a throwback, hit some incredible passes that were

286
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: blown up by defenders and dudes dropped it. Even on

287
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: the last play to Mike Williams that ended up kind

288
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: of working out as a punt now, not really because

289
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: they you know, it's like, well they got three timeouts

290
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: and they never got the ball back. You know, I

291
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: don't know if he slipped a little bit, obviously Mike

292
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: Williams slipped. It was just I was impressed with kind

293
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: of the Jets grittiness. I thought tonight they just and

294
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: again you know, they created it with the hail Mary,

295
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: which is a little lucky, but it's Aaron Rodgers. It's

296
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: something he does and that kind of got him right

297
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: back in the game. But I thought Rogers, like, let's

298
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: face it, at this point in time, time like even

299
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: a Knight, he's a good player, but he's no longer

300
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: a great player. He has moments where obviously within the pocket,

301
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: if he can step into it, he can throw the lasers.

302
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: I bet Randy Johnson could throw ninety five at forty

303
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: years old, but it wasn't the same as a thirty

304
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: year old guy. This isn't the same guy because there

305
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: are moments when he tries to scramble he can't even

306
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: sniff getting away. And that's evident when you watch the

307
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: two players, Like Josh Allen's in a different universe than

308
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers now relative to what the Jets are used to, Like,

309
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: he's good enough to win. He played winning football tonight

310
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: right he was getting peppered. His toughness was on full display.

311
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: Like that's what I wonder about this team. If they

312
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: lose next week to Pittsburgh, all of a sudden, you're

313
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: two to five. Aaron laid it all on the line tonight.

314
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: He has been getting fucking peppered these last couple of

315
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: weeks and keeps getting up and fighting, which I admire.

316
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: Is a forty year old guy worth hundreds of millions

317
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: of dollars does not need to be doing this. Already

318
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: has the MVP's Super Bowl championship. He's playing for the Jets,

319
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: Like this is what like the second half of the

320
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 1: is he gonna do this if they're like four and seven?

321
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: Because if I was him, I'd be like, ah, do

322
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: I really want to keep I'm not saying he's gonna

323
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: just tap out and quit on the season, but you're

324
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: getting the best version of everything he has right now,

325
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: and this season is about to slip away. They fired

326
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: Robert Solid to win this game tonight. Clearly their offense

327
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: had a little more pop with Todd Downey, but let's

328
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: not act like it was that dramatically different. It's thrown

329
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: some back shoulder throws. They made a conscious effort to

330
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: get Garrett Wilson in the game, right and even Troy

331
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: Joe brought it up in the production meeting. Troy asked,

332
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: He's like, you think you got Sky regressed. Almost like

333
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: there aren't many guys in these these meetings they could

334
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: just call out Garrett Wilson. Obviously he didn't do it

335
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: to Garrett Wilson's face, but he did to the head

336
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 1: coach in the UH in the quarterback and you could

337
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: tell like they made an effort to feature him, and

338
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: he looked good. He was making place. But like that's all,

339
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: you know, they don't have much other firepower beside him.

340
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 1: I know Alizard made a couple of plays tonight. Mike

341
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: Williams is just me, you know, and it's not like

342
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: the Bills are rolling out Andre Reid, Stefan Diggs and

343
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: Stevie Johnson, like their wide receiver cruise okay, kind of

344
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: a running team. Their defense, the more and more they

345
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: get these guys back from injury, looked a lot faster tonight.

346
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: They clearly have a pretty dangerous pass rush. But the

347
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 1: one thing with the Jets is like their defense can't

348
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: just smother you. And there were a couple of moments

349
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: to night when Olbrick, who's gone from defensive coordinator to

350
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: the head coach but he's still calling the defense twelve

351
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: men on the field, a little overwhelmed, which is understandable,

352
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: but that's hard when they were all all their chips

353
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: are in the middle of the table for this game.

354
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: And when all your chips are in the middle of

355
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,719
Speaker 1: the table, because you look at the schedule, play Pittsburgh,

356
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: then they get the Patriots, then they get the Texans.

357
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: So all of a sudden, like realistically, lose the Steelers,

358
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: beat the Patriots, lose the Texans. You do the math?

359
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: Be three and six, Like you're three and six this team?

360
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? I don't care what your schedule is.

361
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: You're not rattling off four or five straight wins. That

362
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: squad no chance they could ride off a couple. But

363
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: you dig yourself too big of a hole. Your team's

364
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: not good enough. It's not like your coaching staff's super elite.

365
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: That's why I love the Bills tonight, I said, put

366
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: all your chips in the middle of that. Part of

367
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: the reason I'm angry is because this game should never

368
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 1: have been like is discombobulated as it was. Yes, listen,

369
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: you lose, you lose, you win, you win, but just

370
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: let them play. And that's what it didn't feel like

371
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: was happening. So I just think the Jets defensive line,

372
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: which used to be dominant, is no longer. Quinnin Williams

373
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: is an excellent player, but the rest of the crew

374
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: mah secondary. They just had injuries, so dj Ree goes down.

375
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: It's like part of their secondary the last couple of

376
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: years has been so deep. Well, it's not the same

377
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: once you start losing starters, and it's just hard to

378
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: corral Josh Allen because at any moment he could run

379
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: around and make plays, and he just he can keep

380
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: plays alive. It's different than Lamar. It's really probably more

381
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: like a young, young Ben Roethlisberger, but he's faster, he

382
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: can run, and yeah, so I just I think the

383
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: Jets season in a weird way, kind of unofficially into

384
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 1: tonight because I think they'll end up losing next week

385
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: at Pittsburgh and who's got a much better defense than

386
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: the Bills, And we'll have no problem consistently running the ball.

387
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: Like if you can't stop the run, you don't get

388
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 1: to dictate the terms, and they really can't. And the

389
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: Bills in a weird way kind of got away from

390
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: it as the game got on, as the game kind

391
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: of got discombobulated, part of its penalties. You're in second

392
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: and third and long, you're less inclined to keep running it.

393
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: With Ray Davis the way the first half was going,

394
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 1: I'm like Ray Davis about to go for one hundred

395
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: and seventy yards. Look like Jordan Mason in the first

396
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: game on Monday Night Football in San Francisco. Kyle's like,

397
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna run it on you until you guys

398
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 1: can stop it. But what's not act like fire and

399
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: Robert Sala like this, this is why Belichick keeps shitting

400
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: on the organization. What's this whole thing like ready aim. Shoot,

401
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: he just kind of point fire, right, that's kind of

402
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: Woody Johnson. The Jets just flying aimlessly, even when they

403
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 1: gave a greedy performance, Like there's not the Bills. There's

404
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 1: a reason the Bills go to the playoffs every year.

405
00:21:54,480 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: Just much better run operation. Okay, wanted to hit on

406
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 1: a few other things. Let's just do a little umbrella

407
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: on head coaches and we're just gonna rattle through some things. Obviously,

408
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: the I would say the two most polarizing coaches because

409
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: of the markets and the teams in which they coach,

410
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: Sirianni and McCarthy. Sirianni wins, McCarthy loses. Well, let's start

411
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: with Dallas, who just gets shellacked. Sure you've heard the

412
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: stats about their last four home games. I mean, they're

413
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: just getting massacred. And you could make the argument of

414
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: should you have let him coach? Right, it was pretty risky,

415
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: even though I actually think I mean, comparing the two,

416
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: I think Mike is proven over a long period of time.

417
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 1: He's better in Sirianni. Obviously he won a Super Bowl

418
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: back in the day. But he can call plays, like

419
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: there's one specific thing he can do call plays. He's

420
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: also won the Division two the last three years. Now,

421
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: Nick did have the year where he you know, they

422
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: were the one seed and he beat the Giants and

423
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: then Perdy got Ko. Now he might have won that

424
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: game regardless. That team was really good, especially their defensive line.

425
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: But I do think when you look at the Cowboys.

426
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this today because I saw this

427
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: clip that part of my take put out, and Big

428
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: Kat was like, can you imagine if you would have

429
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: told Jerry Jones five six years into his ownership of

430
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, right, he buys them in I think eighty nine,

431
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: by two thousand, or excuse me, nineteen ninety the five seasons,

432
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: so January of ninety six or February, he had three

433
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: Super Bowls and he just had won one kind of

434
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: his way after kicking Jimmy Johnson to the curb. If

435
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: you told him you're never gonna win another one, more

436
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: than likely in the summer of nineteen ninety six, you

437
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: are going to die before you ever even make it

438
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: back to a championship game, let alone win a Super Bowl.

439
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 1: He would have laughed in your face. And yesterday it

440
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: goes viral right after the game his press conference, there

441
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: is not another team in the NFL that after a

442
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: crazy loss or a crazy win, every single person that

443
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: covers the team or covers the league that is at

444
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: the game doesn't want to talk to the head coach.

445
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: Doesn't want to talk to the quarterback or the star

446
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 1: wide receiver or the star pass unner. They want to

447
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: talk to the owner. Now, in theory, all these other

448
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: people at all these other games would like to talk

449
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: to the owners too, but they never talk. Jerry not

450
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: only holds court, he literally does it every game and

451
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: then he does it again on the radio show I

452
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,479
Speaker 1: think on Tuesday mornings. But like that's just not the

453
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: healthiest environment. And if I was a betting man as

454
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: we sit here right now, especially with the Cowboys injuries,

455
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 1: I know they got a bye week Mike McCarthy, he

456
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: won't be the head coach, but it is very, very

457
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: difficult to win when you know, think about most human beings,

458
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: like non athletes or artists. Most people make more money

459
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: as they get older. If I just gave you the

460
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: most money you would ever make in a year, which

461
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: could be in your fifties or sixties, let's just say,

462
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: and I gave it to you at twenty two years old,

463
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,719
Speaker 1: more than likely ten twenty years later. If you had

464
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: been making that much money right from the jump, you'd

465
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: be a little jaded. And I wonder with Jerry, he

466
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: had so much success so early because of a genius hire.

467
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: And he's different than Al Davis. He wasn't a coach,

468
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: but like he played at Arkansas, like this guy played

469
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: college football. It's not like this guy is just some

470
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: nerd day trader that never put on a jockstrapper, wore

471
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: a helmet like this guy played in college. Like it's

472
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: pretty resive, you know. And then he went on to

473
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: obviously have a good business career as kind of a

474
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: maverick and risked it all and bought the team like

475
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: Jerry's got balls, and it worked. And really, ever since

476
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: he bought the team and they started rolling, he's been

477
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: printing money. So win or lose, he's made money. They

478
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: just haven't really won at all since the mid nineties.

479
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 1: Yet he won't really listen to anybody because he had

480
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: so much immediate success. Thinks he knows it all, which

481
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: again most owners probably do, but they don't talk every

482
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: single game. And I wonder if that's just really really

483
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,479
Speaker 1: hard to overcome. No, if Jerry had talked or hadn't

484
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: talked yesterday, It doesn't matter that the Lions would have

485
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: eviscerated the defense that had a million injuries, but just

486
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: big picture with the Cowboys, like I think it is

487
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,479
Speaker 1: fair to say it is hard to overcome Jerry Jones,

488
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: which is weird because he has been big reason, like

489
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 1: the Cowboys brand is so big. But you know, listen,

490
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy, more than likely at the end of the year,

491
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: especially they miss the playoffs, gonna get thrown to the Wolves.

492
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: But nothing will change as long as Jerry's alive. And

493
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: it does feel a little bit like different circumstances. But

494
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: late now Davis's life, it got a little weird, you know.

495
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 1: And the difference is ow once upon a time, not

496
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: once upon a time, pretty long period of time, the seventies,

497
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: the eighties, the late nineties, when he hired John Gruden,

498
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: like he fucking knew what he was doing. He was

499
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: a football guy who was interwoven his confidence in I

500
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: know what I'm doing, Like Jerry thinks he knows what

501
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 1: he's doing, And you can say, well, how can he

502
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: think that given the results? Because he checks his bank count,

503
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: he sees the money, and he goes, once upon a time,

504
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: without him, none of this would exist, at least that's

505
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: what he thinks. So I just think the Cowboys are

506
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: just are gonna be this roller coaster ride as long

507
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: as he's around. I would imagine my guess. I don't

508
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: know Stephen Jones, but just watching the way he conducts himself,

509
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 1: knowing people that have dealt with him in some business deals,

510
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: I think it'll be a little different once Jerry has

511
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: gone and stevens in George in terms of the interviews,

512
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: in terms of the micromanaging, in terms of just the

513
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: daily intensity of kind of hovering over. Okay, on Sirianni.

514
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 1: He apologized on Monday for his actions at the end

515
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 1: of the game, which is stupid in the sense of, like, listen, bro,

516
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: you did it. You don't need to apologize. It is

517
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: what it is, an embarrassing moment, Like who you're apologizing to?

518
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't to me how apologies can be so hollow.

519
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: They're just so unnecessary. Lets you know the people you

520
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: are screaming at and you like send them a DM bro,

521
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: like I'll get your free tickets next game. You don't

522
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: need to apologize to random people who don't give a shit,

523
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: but part of this culture and world we live in.

524
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: You made a fool of yourself, there's no disputing that,

525
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: which is kind of consistently done over the course of

526
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: his career at different times. But when you're winning, no

527
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: one cares. And I was thinking about, like everyone handles

528
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: winning well, everyone handles success well. Like universally, anyone can

529
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: handle winning success. Some might blow all the money, some

530
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: might do stupid stuff, but like everyone can handle that

531
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: and not completely melt down. Most people can't handle adversity,

532
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: especially most people that haven't been through adversity. Like it

533
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: is a lot easier for Mike Tomlin or John Harbaugh

534
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: or Jim Harbaugh or Pete Carroll or Andy Reid to

535
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: handle everything that gets thrown at you as a head

536
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: coach when all of a sudden, X, Y, and Z

537
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: go wrong. Why you have a ton of experience to

538
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: rely on. You've kind of seen it all. Nick Sirianni

539
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: got this job and it was going really poorly immediately

540
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: and made a change, and that change changed the course

541
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: of his career. Gave a play calling to shame Psyche

542
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: and for a year and a half that team kicked

543
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: ass in the last two years, when a lot more

544
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: has been on his plate, he's kind of shown his

545
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: true colors. He's in over his head now because this

546
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: organization has accumulated so much talent, Like you can still

547
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: find a way to win games. But I heard Michael

548
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: Lombardi say this on his podcast, and I guess I

549
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: was kind of mad at myself for not thinking about

550
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: this yesterday. In his press conference on Sunday, like he

551
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: knew he screw up. He brought his son to the

552
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: press conference. Well, what happens when you bring your son

553
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: to the press conference. It's gonna lighten the mood. They're

554
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: not gonna it's not gonna be as aggressive as it

555
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: would be if you were just sitting up there with

556
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: a seven year old sitting on your lap in an

557
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: Eagles jersey. So like he knew immediately, like this probably

558
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: isn't a great move. And someone talked to him the

559
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: today about I don't know, but like you make a

560
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: fool out of yourself, which we all can do when

561
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: we're freaking out when we don't have the answers, and

562
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: we've all been there, and sometimes depending on what you do,

563
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: there are a lot less stakes on the line when

564
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: you feel helpless or lost or confused, right and some

565
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: of us, and I know I do. Sometimes I get

566
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: really aggressive. I get really loud when I get agitated. Now,

567
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: as you get older and you go through more experiences,

568
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: you handle that stuff better. It's why you should all

569
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: be able to handle craziness in your fifties and sixties

570
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: better than in your twenties and thirties. And Nick, to me,

571
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: looks like a guy who is swimming in the deep

572
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: end right now and desperately needs kind of a life

573
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: jacket and doesn't really know how to swim, and these

574
00:31:55,880 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: games are breaking him. And I think him McCarthy. It's

575
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: pretty clear. Feels like dead man walking. If you could

576
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: bet on this, which I'm sure you can, on DraftKings,

577
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: neither guy is going to be the head coach for

578
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: their respective teams in twenty and twenty five. I almost

579
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: sid twenty four, but we're in twenty twenty four a

580
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: guy that should be the head coach in twenty twenty five.

581
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: But let's face it, it's getting really weird. I don't

582
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: think it has to be a story every single week

583
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: when Kevin Stefanski says that Deshaun Watson will be the

584
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: quarterback the following week, Like, can't we all understand what's

585
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: he supposed to say? You just got a contract extension.

586
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: The owner is forcing him to play this guy. It's

587
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: out of his control. It's not his money that he's

588
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: paying the guy. I would imagine I can't fact check

589
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: this one, that there was some apprehension on Stefanski and

590
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: Andrew Barry trading for this player once the initial conversations

591
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: got so crazy. He didn't want to be there unless

592
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: you give him the money and the owner acquiesced. Now,

593
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: I would also guess that both those guys, the GM

594
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: and the head coach thought he would be better than this.

595
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: He's objectively bad. I saw Bill Barnwell tweet today. Since

596
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, five hundred and fifty six quarterbacks

597
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: fall under this. Through six weeks, Deshaun ranks five hundred

598
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: and fifty eighth in QBR, five hundred and sixty fifth

599
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:32,479
Speaker 1: in yards per drop back, and dead last in first downs.

600
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: So like, clearly you can find all the stats against

601
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: the Blitz. The eye test is even worse. He looks

602
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: like a fish out of water. But if you don't

603
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: think Stefanski would have wanted to keep Joe Flacco. You've

604
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: never been around a football guy, Like, it just makes

605
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: no sense. These two IVY League guys and this player,

606
00:33:55,680 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: it just zero vibe. Honestly. Same thing with the defensive

607
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: tackle they drafted in the second round who already got

608
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: in trouble for blasting his pregnant girlfriend, fiance whatever. It's

609
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: like they got a lot of cooks in the kitchen. Ultimately,

610
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: their owner is extremely involved. Now, I don't know these

611
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: guys personally, it's not like I'm trying to cape for him.

612
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: But on this specific story, there is not a coach

613
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: in the history of the sport that wouldn't go to

614
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: the bullpen if they could. Some things in life are

615
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:31,240
Speaker 1: most of us, the overwhelming majority of us, answer to somebody.

616
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: It's very very rare that you answer to nobody unless

617
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: you're the elites of the elites of the elites. And

618
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: even then, somehow they get you to a party and

619
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: they get you on tape and then you're answering to

620
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: them the rest of your life. But like, this isn't

621
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: Stefanski doesn't own the team. And last but not least,

622
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: on the coaches, Jim Harbaugh, he's so damn good man.

623
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: You know the Chargers, it's for those of us that

624
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: they kind of hold a special place, for those of

625
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: us to just love football and have seen their great

626
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,399
Speaker 1: rosters over the years and just want them to be good.

627
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: Love the uniforms. I have so many good friends that

628
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: are Charger fans. They have a great fan base. It

629
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 1: was just really embarrassing what took place over the last

630
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, six seven years with Anthony Lynn, obviously

631
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: with Brandon Staley, and it truly is amazing. When you

632
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: get a coach that knows what he's doing and basically

633
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 1: guarantees you wins, doesn't guarantee you a Super Bowl, like

634
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 1: Andy Reid was never guaranteed a Super Bowl until they

635
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: drafted Patrick Mahomes. But once you got Andy Reid in

636
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: Kansas City, he immediately's got you. Alex Smith, You're immediately

637
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: relevant and competing to win the division in the playoffs

638
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: basically every year. And that was worth well before the

639
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: Super bowls a lot. And Jim Harbaugh off of by

640
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: goes into Denver, who's red hot up twenty to nothing

641
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 1: for you even blinket halftime, and the quarterback who's kind

642
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: of been banged up, looks healthy and you're like, he's

643
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: the best player on the field by a country mate.

644
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: I think, if you're the Eagles, if you're the Cowboys,

645
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: if you're the Jags, if you're just some of these teams,

646
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: this guy was ready to leave college football. He was

647
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: over the NCAA and they are just laughable rules and

648
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: regulations that you kind of need to follow, you kind

649
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: of don't. And once they hate you, they come after you.

650
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: And he clearly was a mark for them. So he

651
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,439
Speaker 1: was gonna leave and he was there to be had,

652
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: and the Chargers got a little lucky they didn't really

653
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: have that much competition. Now. I also I give them

654
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: credit for pulling the trigger and hiring them, but I

655
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 1: just you have to wonder if you're the Cowboys, if

656
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 1: you're the Eagles, like you could have had Jim or

657
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: competed to get his services. Obviously, there are other guys

658
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: out there in Belichick and Vrabel who are just listen.

659
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: I'm a little less hard on McCarthy. I do think

660
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: he's a capable NFL head coach. I don't think he's

661
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: as bad as sometimes the ways talk to them out

662
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 1: now where he ranks. Would I rather have Jim Harbaugh? Yes,

663
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: I would I think Mike Vrabel that that would be

664
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 1: up for discussion when you just look at the two resumes.

665
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: But I do think Sirianni, come on, what are we

666
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: talking about? And I just think Jim is just I

667
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: just don't think there are many coaches in the NFL

668
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: you would take over him and he just guarantees you

669
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,760
Speaker 1: like this is I'm kicking myself because like the Chargers playoffs,

670
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh justin Herbert. The other thing, Jim Harbaugh does

671
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: a great job. He hires well, he hires exceptionally well.

672
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: I didn't know that much about Vic Fangio until Stanford happened,

673
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 1: and then he brings them just then he brings them

674
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: to San Franco forty nine Ers. I really didn't know

675
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: much about Great Roman. It's like this guy Mike McDonald mentor,

676
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: these guys were just assistance for John and those guys

677
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: Jack Harbaugh top them. You're only as good as your staff.

678
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,399
Speaker 1: And now you watch the Chargers defense, You're like, God,

679
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 1: they're fantastic. Well where did he get Mentor from? John?

680
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: And I just think when you look at this Charger

681
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: team now, they could be a little bit of a

682
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,720
Speaker 1: powder cake because you know Khalil Mack, who's been awesome,

683
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: and obviously Justin Herbert has been banged up. If you

684
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: lose those two guys, you would be in major trouble.

685
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: And they have an injury history, so it always kind

686
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: of makes me a little nervous. But if those guys

687
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: stay on the field, like this team's win ten games.

688
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to do a couple of things really quick,

689
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: just some awards from the weekend. I want to do

690
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: a couple of player awards because I just wanted to

691
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: highlight a couple of quick things, and I want to

692
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: start with the Warren Buffett Award as just the best

693
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: investment so far of the year. We've seen the worst investment, right,

694
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 1: that'd be Trevor Lawrence right now. It was last offseason.

695
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: Obviously Justshan would be the worst in the league. But

696
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, just Warren Buffett just a great investment, which

697
00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: I was looking at the numbers of a day, I'm like,

698
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: this already worked, Like you already got your money's worth

699
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: as we sit here on October fourteenth, Like it already worked.

700
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: Now you ultimately paid this price for the whole year

701
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: and the in the playoffs, but it could not have

702
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 1: gotten much better. Through October fourteenth, the Baltimore Ravens gave

703
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry two years and sixteen million dollars, but as

704
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,399
Speaker 1: most NFL contracts go, obviously all that money's not real.

705
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: They gave him a seven point seven million dollars signing

706
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:36,879
Speaker 1: bonus in nine million dollars total guarantee. They gave him

707
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 1: nine million dollars total guarantee. Right now, Derrick Henry is

708
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 1: on pace for nineteen hundred and ninety five yards and

709
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: twenty three fucking touchdowns. When you watch them play, I

710
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: was I questioned this move. I'm like, I don't know

711
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: in that offense, how's it gonna work? It works because

712
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 1: Derek Henry looks fantastic. Now He's also one pace for

713
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,720
Speaker 1: a lot of carries, so you're gonna have to balance

714
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: like they are. Not to me, it does not behoove

715
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: them to try to. You know, we'd be cool with

716
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: fifteen hundred yards because I need those legs fresh to

717
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: make a run. But the one thing with Derrick Henry

718
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: where he really could help Lamar and Todd munkin what

719
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: they didn't have last year, slow the game down a

720
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 1: little bit. We get into a playoff game against Andy

721
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: and Patrick. Here's what we do. We control the terms.

722
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 1: We run the ball. And also if you get a lead,

723
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 1: which they haven't had obviously in their playoff losses in

724
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: the second half, if we can just be up seventeen

725
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: to ten instead of the other way around, we just

726
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: hand them the ball and we go nineteen ninety three here,

727
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: and that is these running backs. Everyone's overpaying for all

728
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 1: these positions. Here's fifty million for this average right tackle.

729
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:02,399
Speaker 1: Here's seventy million for this I don't know, sixty catch

730
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 1: wide receiver. I can get Derrick Henry for two years

731
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: and sixteen million dollars and all I got to give

732
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 1: him up front is seven point seven million, and he

733
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 1: could potentially give me. Obviously that's projected. I would guess

734
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,800
Speaker 1: right now if you said how many touchdowns does he

735
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: end the season with, I go sixteen. That's incredible. The

736
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: Chuck Lydell Award for just chaoing someone and not giving

737
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: a shit about them. Will Levish yesterday, who obviously had

738
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: an all time box score turnovers again twenty three attempts

739
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: like less than one hundred yards, also got a touchdown.

740
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 1: Where instead, because you're not allowed to do the guns.

741
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: People don't like the guns, I guess, even though one

742
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 1: political party's going all in pretending they like guns. Now

743
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: it's a little bizarre, but ultimately he did the Spider

744
00:41:56,120 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: Man webs because he didn't want to get a penalty. Well,

745
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 1: Will Levis took out a ball boy yesterday, absolutely destroyed him.

746
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: I looked over on the screen and the kid was

747
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 1: on a stretcher, on a you know, on a cart.

748
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: I was like, what happened? And then they showed the

749
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: replay a lot of times and listen, it's a tough spot.

750
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 1: I don't blame any player for running into any of

751
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: these people on the sideline. You're running four or five forties.

752
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: You can't slow down. You take people out, No one

753
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: wants to do it. It's gonna happen every single player. Usually,

754
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: I would say, when you're watching a game, when they

755
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: take out an older person, a younger person, someone that's

756
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: not like team personnel, not a fellow coach, not someone

757
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: in a uniform, not a practice squad guy, someone they

758
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: don't know, they always stand over and either try to

759
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 1: help him up or like, ask him if he's okay.

760
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 1: Will Levis took out this fucking guy and was up

761
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: and running back to the huddle so fast it was insane,

762
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: and he would have been you know, it's what you

763
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: do in the UFC. You just knock someone out and

764
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: you start celebrating. He just took this kid out and

765
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: just ran away. The Sam Ellinger, former Texas quarterback who

766
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 1: once famously said we're back, and Texas is actually back.

767
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: But one guy who isn't just back. He's currently leading

768
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: the NFL in touchdown passes with fifteen. He has a

769
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 1: nice little three touchdown pass lead. He is Baker Mayfield.

770
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: He has fifteen touchdowns, and you watched him yesterday and

771
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 1: really all season. He's clearly and I think they talked

772
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,800
Speaker 1: about it this offseason that he got thinner, he's moving

773
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 1: around dramatically better than he once did. I mean, it

774
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: really is pretty impressive how much more athletic he looks

775
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: than he did early on in his career. But he

776
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 1: looks good, man, he really does. And I know he

777
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: has three if you just look at his box score,

778
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,800
Speaker 1: three interceptions. Pretty sure two of those, I mean got tipped.

779
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: Pretty freakish interceptions. To me, there are difference in interceptions

780
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 1: when you hit like a defender in stride and a

781
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 1: ball gets tipped, goes in the air, Like, I don't

782
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:21,359
Speaker 1: think right now he's got fifteen touchdowns five interceptions. That

783
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: number could easily be fifteen and three. So I think

784
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,399
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. You know, one thing that was cool being

785
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: at the Oklahoma game was Baker Mayfield in that program,

786
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: especially with the younger people, is kind of like there

787
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes or they're Lamar Jackson. His jerseys were everywhere.

788
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: I would imagine if you saw someone under thirty wearing

789
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: a football jersey, and now with Nio you can put

790
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: the names on the back. Mayfield jerseys outnumbered every other

791
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 1: player that I saw, and really it was just like

792
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: a m Kyler Murray jersey. Every once in a while

793
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: it was like a twenty to one ratio. He has

794
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,879
Speaker 1: beloved in that program and part of the reason John

795
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 1: Dorrisey pulled the trigger on him number one overall was like,

796
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: obviously he's talented, he can sling the ball, but was

797
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 1: like this swag. It was like this kind of far

798
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 1: of the way he carried himself. And maybe it's just

799
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,879
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns, maybe it's Jimmy has them. You can't

800
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: overcome that, and you watch Baker Mayfield now, it's like

801
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: he's kind of vibing like he did at Oklahoma and

802
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: in college. That fucking guy was awesome. He really was.

803
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: He's one of my more enjoyable college players to watch

804
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: throughout his, you know, my adult life for the last

805
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 1: twenty plus years. And once he got to the NFL

806
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: and you watched him kind of move around. I'm not

807
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 1: comparing him to Johnny Manziel, but he had this like

808
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 1: false sense of like his athleticism and he lost his

809
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 1: confidence and just unraveled and you just didn't know if

810
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 1: he was going to get it back. And then he

811
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: goes to Tampa obviously has the good year, which was impressive.

812
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: You watch him this year, I just think he looks better,

813
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:01,720
Speaker 1: Like he looks like a top ten quarterback in the NFL,

814
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,359
Speaker 1: and he can have games where he's easily a top

815
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 1: four or five quarterback in the NFL. And if you

816
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,359
Speaker 1: have that like, you're gonna be really competitive, especially when

817
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: you factory in all the skill guys that they have

818
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:29,360
Speaker 1: in the league. So props to Baker Mayfield because he's back. Okay,

819
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: let's go mailbag at John Middlecoff at John middlecoff is

820
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,800
Speaker 1: the Instagram fire and those dms do it right now,

821
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: you guys know the drill. We will start with Jonathan

822
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 1: Comment for the Pod. The top four teams in point

823
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 1: differential right now are Minnesota, Detroit, Chicago, and the Green

824
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: Bay Packers. It's not everything, but it's something. Well, there's

825
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. I mean, one thing all four

826
00:46:56,320 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: teams really have in common elite offenses. Started with Minnesota

827
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 1: up until the Jets game, they have scored on everybody.

828
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 1: And fast Detroit when they're humming or a juggernaut. And

829
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,399
Speaker 1: Green Bay, I mean their team speed. If you put

830
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: them in a dome, they would be like the greatest

831
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: show on turf, just in terms of speed. Just an

832
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: incredible amount of speed on offense. And obviously Chicago have

833
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:25,919
Speaker 1: kind of gained some swag the last two weeks beating

834
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:29,800
Speaker 1: the shit out of Carolina and Jacksonville and Rome's making plays,

835
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 1: DJ's making plays, Keenan Allen's back, Cole Comet. So you

836
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 1: just got really really explosive offenses. And you know, Green

837
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: Bay jury still out to me. On the defense, Minnesota

838
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: elite defensive coordinator is our personnel good enough? Detroit as

839
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 1: a lot of Lions fans thought that I overreacted to

840
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: the Seattle game. Did just lose Hutchinson? It's why to me,

841
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: Max Crosby and the Lions make a lot of sense.

842
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 1: Their gentleman I said, it's a column. Their GM was

843
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 1: in La when they made enormous tree. He's like, Jalen Ramsey,

844
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: would you give up two ones for Max Crosby? I

845
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: think I would. I think I would, And the Bears

846
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: we just to me, the question simply is is their

847
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:17,359
Speaker 1: coach good enough when they play better teams? And what

848
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 1: does Caleb look like when teams can rush them? Because

849
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: in that game against the Texans, he was sacked seven

850
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 1: times and hit like one hundred and I saw a

851
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 1: bunch of people like bidle coffee. You said the Texans

852
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: blew them out. It was nineteen to thirteen. It was like, yeah,

853
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 1: I watched the game. They fucking got dominated. We all watched. Now.

854
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,839
Speaker 1: Is Caleb better when they play the better teams? For sure,

855
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 1: if he's got more confidence going, But when they play

856
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: these better teams, that's where the Hutchinson loss is huge.

857
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: Like how woul Chicago block him? It's gonna be hard

858
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,479
Speaker 1: for all four teams. To make the playoffs. When you look, okay,

859
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:57,320
Speaker 1: let's go NFC West. The Niners are gonna win the division.

860
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: Let's go the NFC South. I do think Tampa and

861
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 1: Atlanta could both be double digit win teams. My Saints

862
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,319
Speaker 1: are in trouble. It's over and when you look at

863
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 1: the East might just be Washington. You know, well, I

864
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: guess we'll see when all these teams play each other.

865
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,280
Speaker 1: But it kind of feels like a one team division

866
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 1: be pretty historic if all four teams win it. We've

867
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 1: seen three teams do it a couple of years ago, Giants, Cowboys, Eagles,

868
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 1: year before, Niners, Cardinals, Rams. It happens four. We've definitely

869
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 1: had Bengals, Ravens, Steelers. Last year we had Ravens, Browns Steelers.

870
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 1: So I think they're a borderline locked to get three

871
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:46,879
Speaker 1: unless something catastrophic happens with the quarterbacks. But four, that'd

872
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: be pretty nuts. Love the Pod Panthers fan here. It's

873
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: been tough, it really has. Our organization is a dumpster fire. However,

874
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 1: the new regime this year and inherited such a bad situation.

875
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 1: Dealing with the leftovers, I feel like a lot. I

876
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 1: feel like not enough credit has been given to Canalist

877
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 1: and Dan Morgan for what they've been able to put

878
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: on the field. Not a fan of Brice, but with

879
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: Dalton under center right now, I'm just happy to see

880
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: the offense score some points barslow, especially since almost our

881
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 1: entire starting defense is injured. With that said, we have

882
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 1: a long way to go, but going from not being

883
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 1: able to barely score ten points to consistently put enough

884
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 1: twenty points over the last several weeks has been encouraging.

885
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:43,920
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts. I think the best case scenario

886
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:47,439
Speaker 1: for you is just lose every game and like you say,

887
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 1: just twenty one to thirty four, twenty eight to forty,

888
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 1: just lose games. Go Hey, our defense is injured, our

889
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,720
Speaker 1: offense with Andy Dalton is suitable. We got some young pieces,

890
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: and just use your draft capital to try to improve

891
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: and obviously this offseason and decide with Bryce, who to

892
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 1: me is probably done. I would just move on. But

893
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: I hate to say this. I'm not trying to be negative,

894
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: but I don't think there's much you can take away

895
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:23,399
Speaker 1: from this season in terms of, you know, because Andy

896
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 1: Dolton is not gonna be your longtime quarterback. Should the

897
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 1: Lions go after Reddick. Well, when I think of the

898
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions, I do not think of a son Reddick.

899
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 1: So to me, part of making an acquisition if you're

900
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 1: the Lions, if you're gonna get aggressive, is about getting

901
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: the right type guy. And to me, Reddick, who was

902
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 1: just fired by his agents, has had one of the

903
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:54,399
Speaker 1: worst business decisions in the history of America. It's like, wait,

904
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 1: I got fourteen million dollars just sitting here for you,

905
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 1: just sitting here. He's like, no, man, I'll just I'm good.

906
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 1: I should be making twenty five. Like, well, I got

907
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: fourteen right here, and if you have a good season,

908
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 1: you could make twenty plus next year while making the

909
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:15,359
Speaker 1: fourteen this year. He's like, no, just I'm good, bro,

910
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 1: I'm good. Probably one of the worst business decisions since

911
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 1: Sofia with an f left collar daddy and left I

912
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 1: don't know, fifty million easily on the table over the

913
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:30,799
Speaker 1: last six seven years. Question for the mailback, what's up

914
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 1: with the NFC North. Obviously they'll start beating each other

915
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 1: up once conference play really gets into swing, But any

916
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 1: chance the way the rest of the NFC plays out

917
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 1: that they can get three teams in the playoffs also

918
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: Jordan Love MVP. This season is shaping up now. He

919
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 1: was really good. He was really really good. I saw

920
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:57,799
Speaker 1: I forget who tweeted this former NFL quarterback who like

921
00:52:57,880 --> 00:52:59,839
Speaker 1: Sunday Night, said, you know, this is the first game.

922
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 1: I thought he kind of looked like the guy last

923
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:05,359
Speaker 1: year and he was just kind of moving and grooving. Man.

924
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 1: He when he's on and I listen, Colin said this,

925
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 1: he definitely has more far than Rogers now, like Rogers

926
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:17,839
Speaker 1: throwing off the back foot fundamentals all over the map,

927
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 1: but he will just throw it into triple coverage, which

928
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 1: is he's a very, very enjoyable player to watch. I

929
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 1: don't think you guys realize, as Packer fans, how lucky

930
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:32,560
Speaker 1: like you went from Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers to

931
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 1: this to this. Think of that graphic that the Cleveland

932
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,879
Speaker 1: Browns went through of like there're seven hundred quarterbacks since

933
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine or whatever, and you've just done that.

934
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 1: You're like the Mike. You're the Pittsburgh Steelers of quarterbacks.

935
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 1: They've had three coaches in whatever fifty years, you've had

936
00:53:55,480 --> 00:54:00,800
Speaker 1: three quarterbacks and well over thirty. I think they're a

937
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:02,879
Speaker 1: borderline lock right now. Like I said, to get three

938
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 1: teams in. So even in a win, Sirianni somehow finds

939
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 1: a way to embarrass himself. I think my series going

940
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:12,840
Speaker 1: by yelling at the home crowd, who probably was heckling

941
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:16,360
Speaker 1: him the entire game because they were in a close

942
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 1: game with the Browns. Honestly, it's embarrassing because no other

943
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 1: head coaches are yelling at their fans like that. True,

944
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,839
Speaker 1: Like good job, Nick, You're putting your hand to your

945
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 1: ear to your own fan base, like you made a

946
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,880
Speaker 1: major statement while beating a team by four, when in

947
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,400
Speaker 1: reality you probably should have beaten them by double digits.

948
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 1: What a joke, embarrassing moment for him, for sure. Hey John,

949
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 1: I love the NFL and love watching my team every Sunday,

950
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 1: but there's something about college football I love and enjoy

951
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 1: watching even more. I know you love and watch football

952
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:51,760
Speaker 1: as well. Would you ever consider doing a college football

953
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 1: instant reaction like you do for the NFL, Like after

954
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 1: most of the Saturday games are done, you hop on

955
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 1: for thirty minutes and talk about the big ones number two.

956
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:02,759
Speaker 1: I know you're a Fresno guy, so I'm interested to

957
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 1: hear your take because I'm from Idaho and a big

958
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 1: Boise State fan. What do you think of the Mountain

959
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 1: West this year? Do you think Boise can get a

960
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:13,359
Speaker 1: playoff bid? I think UNLV has a shot to knock

961
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 1: off Boise and hose their chances. But I love well.

962
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 1: I looked at the box score on Saturday and what's

963
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 1: his name? Genty already had like one hundred yards in

964
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:27,359
Speaker 1: a touchdown. I think UNLV is pretty good. I think

965
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 1: the quarterback that they inserted is clearly better than the

966
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 1: dude that wanted the money and they booted out. And

967
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 1: Boise is good too, so I think UNLV once they

968
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:40,359
Speaker 1: lost to Syracuse, like, to me, if there's not a

969
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 1: no doubt about it, non power forward team, you shouldn't

970
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:46,839
Speaker 1: get a seed like you should have to earn it.

971
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 1: And you know, UNLV, even if they beat Boise losing

972
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 1: to Syracuse, want to see what syracusees? Should you be

973
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 1: able to get a bid at twelve and one in

974
00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 1: the Mountain West. To me, if you run the tape,

975
00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 1: if Boise runs the table, they'll get a bid. If

976
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 1: they don't, like, they shouldn't get a bid. And then

977
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 1: I got no problem with no one getting a bid,

978
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:10,840
Speaker 1: Like I'm not gonna complain if like, oh, now we

979
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 1: get a you know, we also get Tennessee makes the

980
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,319
Speaker 1: playoffs or whoever the you know, the extra team is.

981
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 1: So I think Boise's really really good. Uh, you know,

982
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:27,400
Speaker 1: Saturday part of From a financial standpoint, Uh, it's just

983
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:30,719
Speaker 1: kind of a lost cause because for a podcast, the

984
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:34,840
Speaker 1: audio version, you know, doesn't get as much traction or

985
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 1: just wouldn't on Sundays. So you know, also to lead

986
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 1: a family life and not get a divorce for even

987
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 1: get married, it's it's probably not on the table right now,

988
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 1: but not opposed to it. Uh yeah, we'll see, might

989
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:56,240
Speaker 1: have to. I also have people that, you know, work

990
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 1: on the podcast, so it's like it's not even just

991
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 1: me because most of the time I am home and

992
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: I easily could do one, but you know, I am

993
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:08,399
Speaker 1: dependent on other people that also have families and want

994
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: to have a fucking life. So luckily the other six

995
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 1: days a week pay the bills. But you know, listen,

996
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 1: I sometimes got some takes. Might as well fire them off.

997
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley, you heard it here first, he's going to

998
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 1: the Jags. He doesn't want this college football anymore. He

999
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 1: gets Trevor in a place that's college like and no

1000
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 1: hostile media. I don't think seadkn can hire Lincoln Riley.

1001
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 1: You know, clearly his personality is less abrasive after going

1002
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 1: through Urban Meyer, and clearly there are different people but

1003
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:49,200
Speaker 1: similar in the sense they've never worked in the NFL,

1004
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:51,680
Speaker 1: So to hire a guy who's never worked in the

1005
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 1: NFL pretty risky. Now, completely different animals. Here, Urban was

1006
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 1: a CEO, so he was gonna be very dependent on

1007
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 1: his coordinators. Lincoln is your offensive coordinator. But you know

1008
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:09,919
Speaker 1: here and Michael Lombardi to day rant like part of

1009
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 1: fixing Trevor Lawrence, and it's very NBA. Everyone's gonna be

1010
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:17,440
Speaker 1: like high a guy that can fix them where it's like,

1011
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 1: let's just can we run the team. If the team

1012
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 1: gets better, he'll be better. Now, maybe he has a

1013
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 1: ceiling and he's he's clearly not as bad as the

1014
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: guy we've seen. He definitely didn't deserve based on his

1015
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 1: previous career. Two hundred million dollars. Doesn't mean he couldn't

1016
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 1: have become a two hundred million dollar guy. But part

1017
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 1: of what resurrected Jared Goff when McVeigh got there, team

1018
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 1: wasn't bad, right, Gurley was coming into his own. Aaron

1019
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 1: Donald's a star. They signed Whitworth and it was like, okay,

1020
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:53,720
Speaker 1: we're off and running. Then Jared Goff goes Alliance and

1021
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 1: they built a team around it. Hit on some draft picks.

1022
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 1: Saint Brown used the picks from the Rams to get

1023
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 1: you Amos and Williams took Sewell instead of Jamar Chase

1024
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:07,479
Speaker 1: landed some running backs draft Laporta, and it's like, Jared

1025
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 1: Goff's solid player. But if you put Jared Goff on

1026
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:12,520
Speaker 1: a shitty team, he'll look bad. If you put Jared

1027
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 1: Goff on a really good team, he'll look good. Right,

1028
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 1: So if you build a good team around him. Their

1029
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 1: offensive line yesterday was getting smoked and it's like they

1030
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 1: signed Gabe Davis, Like I was probably pretty critical of

1031
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, I think on Sunday's podcast. But on the

1032
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 1: plane with my Starlink, they were balls were literally going

1033
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 1: right through guy's hands. It's one thing to have a

1034
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 1: drop like a you know, a Willie Mays catch with

1035
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 1: a defender draped on you. Those are tough catches, right.

1036
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:49,520
Speaker 1: It's another thing to be staring at the quarterback open

1037
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 1: and the ball goes through your hands. That's not Trevor

1038
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 1: Lawrence's fault, but I do think it's kind of symbolic

1039
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:58,200
Speaker 1: of just the total operator. They're a bad team. They're

1040
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 1: a bad team, and ultimately, football is a team game, right,

1041
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 1: Like Lamar is a great individual player, but he has

1042
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 1: a fantastic team.

1043
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 2: Right.

1044
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is a great individual player, but he has

1045
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 1: a great team. Tom Brady's saying this forever, like, my

1046
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 1: teams were good, my defense is good, my offensive lines

1047
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:23,479
Speaker 1: were solid. I had good, solid weapons. It's a team game.

1048
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 1: You're not going into a fight by yourself, like you

1049
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 1: do need You don't need all fifty three, but you

1050
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:34,560
Speaker 1: need other good players. And they just seem like they

1051
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 1: seem like kind of random. And listen, if you want

1052
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 1: to crush Balky, he's been terrible, he's just like, oh,

1053
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 1: we'll take this guy, We'll take that guy. There's no

1054
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:47,160
Speaker 1: rhyme or reason anything. Remember when they drafted Etn in

1055
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:49,920
Speaker 1: the first round they started using him a wide receiver.

1056
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 1: It's like, what's what's even happening right now? I know

1057
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 1: Hutchinson shattered his leg yesterday, but it was borderline in

1058
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:04,080
Speaker 1: saying when they drafted the Georgia kid over Hutchinson and

1059
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 1: I don't pretend to break down film on the Jags,

1060
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 1: and clearly the Georgia guy hasn't been terrible, but it

1061
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 1: was like, you're overthinking this one try. It's like, a

1062
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 1: I can't, I can't do it, Trent ball Key, But

1063
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 1: I get it, you like traits and all that stuff,

1064
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 1: but what are you doing? Like Aiden Hutchinson is a

1065
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 1: guy that you rely on as a core player of

1066
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 1: a great team for fifteen years, obviously, health permitting. If

1067
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 1: Aiden Hutchinson is healthy, like he's a Hall of Fame player,

1068
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 1: And it was pretty freaking clear coming out of college,

1069
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 1: like this guy's gonna be a really good NFL player,

1070
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 1: really good. Is it gonna be Lawrence Taylor or Aaron Donald?

1071
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:46,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I don't see how he doesn't

1072
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 1: make Pro Bowls, right, And that's where Balkey like he's

1073
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 1: just a weird GM that way. Is it just me?

1074
01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:58,840
Speaker 1: Or do we feel like we're headed toward Ravens Chiefs

1075
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:01,360
Speaker 1: part due? I feel like there are only two teams

1076
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:04,840
Speaker 1: that are truly separating themselves in the powerhouse in the AFC.

1077
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 1: I actually think the Ravens, in a weird way could

1078
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 1: be better suited this year to take on the Chiefs,

1079
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 1: even though their defense is worse right their past defense

1080
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:19,000
Speaker 1: is not good right now, but it's like that's kind

1081
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 1: of the Chiefs, not really their thing. But they can

1082
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,760
Speaker 1: really run the ball, and that mistake they made last

1083
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 1: year not sticking to the run against the Chiefs, obviously

1084
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:33,600
Speaker 1: Mahomes came out the gates firing, but it's not like

1085
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 1: they scored twenty eight points. So yeah, in a weird way,

1086
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 1: I'm already talking myselves or talking myself into the Ravens again,

1087
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 1: because this is what Lamar does to you. You just

1088
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 1: watched it him, You're like, God, he's so calm and collected.

1089
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 1: He So the reason I'm hard on Lamar in my

1090
01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:55,520
Speaker 1: argument of him and Josh of like at this point

1091
01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:57,600
Speaker 1: in time, it's like NBA players, once you get to

1092
01:02:57,600 --> 01:03:00,200
Speaker 1: a certain point in time, like there's nothing Joe l

1093
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:02,920
Speaker 1: Embiid can do in a regular season game. It's like,

1094
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:05,960
Speaker 1: oh damn, that's cool. Like it's like, yeah, we've seen

1095
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 1: it a million times, James Harden did this, and I

1096
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:12,439
Speaker 1: would rather have Lamar than both those two guys, all

1097
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 1: things being like, if they were all in playing the

1098
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 1: same sport. My point is, like I have I expect

1099
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 1: Lamar just to be incredible, and you watch him, you're like,

1100
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 1: this guy's by far the best dual threat quarterback of

1101
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:28,960
Speaker 1: all time. Because when Steve Young really became the MVP quarterback,

1102
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:31,880
Speaker 1: he just he was a pocket passer who ran a

1103
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:34,320
Speaker 1: little bit like Lamar still is a true dual threat

1104
01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:40,440
Speaker 1: and he is awesome. Like I think sometimes people think

1105
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:44,640
Speaker 1: I'm a hater, I'm not, but I am emotionally scored, scarred.

1106
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 1: I've bet on him actually multiple times in the playoffs,

1107
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:51,240
Speaker 1: and it was bad. It was bad. And that's where

1108
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:55,200
Speaker 1: Josh has been. Like his regular season version that has

1109
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:57,240
Speaker 1: been awesome over the last whatever four or five years,

1110
01:03:57,720 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 1: he's played like that in the playoffs. Now you can

1111
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:02,680
Speaker 1: argue they both lost, but he's been better, Like he

1112
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:05,480
Speaker 1: hasn't been the reason. The reason the Ravens lost last

1113
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 1: year was Lamar in the offensive coordinator. And now you

1114
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:11,200
Speaker 1: bring in Derrick Henry and I'm already at the point

1115
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 1: where clearly the Ravens are better than the Steelers, Like

1116
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:18,240
Speaker 1: even Steeler fans have to acknowledge this, right, like your

1117
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:21,200
Speaker 1: team you're probably gonna end up in the playoffs. This

1118
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:23,080
Speaker 1: year and end up winning ten or eleven games. But

1119
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:25,560
Speaker 1: it's a little smoke and mirrors, like can you win?

1120
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 1: Like listen, I question, like, can Lamar just play like

1121
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:29,919
Speaker 1: he does in the regular season in the playoffs because

1122
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 1: if he does, don't win and probably win the Super Bowl.

1123
01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:35,240
Speaker 1: But we all know and even Steeler fans, you guys

1124
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:38,000
Speaker 1: will acknowledge this too, because you've seen Ben in his prime.

1125
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: If you're just older than like twenty, what the way

1126
01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 1: Justin Fields is playing, which is better than in Chicago,

1127
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 1: ain't gonna work in the playoffs? Can we all acknowledge

1128
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:52,000
Speaker 1: that it will not work? It's impossible to just throw

1129
01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:53,600
Speaker 1: for like one hundred and forty yards and run around

1130
01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:56,640
Speaker 1: a little bit. Can work against the shitty Raiders. He

1131
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 1: run for a couple of touchdowns, but that will not

1132
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 1: win you playoff games against the Chiefs, against the Ravens.

1133
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:07,800
Speaker 1: We're all in the same. You won't beat Harbaugh doing that.

1134
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:12,720
Speaker 1: If Justin Herbert is healthy, You're not beating Harbaugh in

1135
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:16,520
Speaker 1: a playoff game. You beat him in the regular season.

1136
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 1: I get it. Justin Herbert started limping around. I think

1137
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:22,920
Speaker 1: they might have beat you in that game. But and

1138
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:26,320
Speaker 1: then the question is if you're the Steelers, does trading

1139
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:29,200
Speaker 1: for another wide receiver make you that much better? Canfields

1140
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 1: get on the ball? I don't know. Defense is good

1141
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:39,160
Speaker 1: question for the pod. I commented on your show before

1142
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:41,400
Speaker 1: the season thinking the Raiders might be a sleeper team

1143
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 1: all Caps. Boy was I wrong. It's clear at best

1144
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 1: four or five wins, although they are really good individual

1145
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:55,880
Speaker 1: players at certain spots in a good rookie class. With

1146
01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 1: Brady being a minority owner and assuming he'll have influence.

1147
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:04,280
Speaker 1: If you were Brady, what would you advise Mark Davis

1148
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 1: and to LESCo to do? Fire Ap, go after Ben

1149
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:10,960
Speaker 1: Johnson or Kubiak type head coach and draft a quarterback

1150
01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:14,479
Speaker 1: or still draft a quarterback and give Ap more time.

1151
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:18,439
Speaker 1: To me, Ap looks completely lost and is over his head.

1152
01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:24,760
Speaker 1: I actually had a thought because on Tuesday, Tom Brady

1153
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 1: is supposed to be given the thumbs up to officially

1154
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 1: become a minority owner for the Raiders, and I had

1155
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:40,000
Speaker 1: a topic that I wanted to discuss regarding similar things

1156
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 1: that you're asking. So I will get to this on

1157
01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:47,040
Speaker 1: Wednesday show. In terms of Tom Brady, Mark Davis, and

1158
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:48,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to say a light at the end

1159
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:52,320
Speaker 1: of the tunnel, but just I have some thoughts on

1160
01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:57,160
Speaker 1: that situation. Obviously, Antonio Pierce doesn't look like he knows

1161
01:06:57,200 --> 01:07:00,200
Speaker 1: what he's doing. One thing I was told by someone

1162
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 1: is that, you know, I think this offseason, once he

1163
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:05,520
Speaker 1: got the job, he started feeling himself a little bit,

1164
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:07,840
Speaker 1: and I think it's turned some players the wrong way.

1165
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:12,240
Speaker 1: I think the one thing they got is what DeVante

1166
01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:15,160
Speaker 1: I haven't heard. He doesn't even want to leave necessarily,

1167
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:19,520
Speaker 1: but it's just gotten weird. Obviously Max Crosby takes a

1168
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:23,280
Speaker 1: lot of pride in the Raiders, but it is a

1169
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:25,680
Speaker 1: waste of your career when you're a high level player

1170
01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:28,080
Speaker 1: and you just lose, not just lose every year, like

1171
01:07:28,160 --> 01:07:32,320
Speaker 1: have no shot. So we'll get into all that. I

1172
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:34,720
Speaker 1: don't think Antonio Pierce is going anywhere for a minute,

1173
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:39,480
Speaker 1: but we'll talk about that soon. I'm always curious about

1174
01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:42,720
Speaker 1: trends in the NFL. One interesting thing I've seen this

1175
01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:46,960
Speaker 1: year from good defenses is the ability to play big

1176
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:53,000
Speaker 1: three off the ball linebackers example the Chiefs, Bolton, Chanelle

1177
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:56,320
Speaker 1: and Tranquill to stop the run and have great cover

1178
01:07:56,440 --> 01:08:00,000
Speaker 1: corners on the outside who can man up. I feel

1179
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:02,120
Speaker 1: like the trend for the last decade has been to

1180
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:07,400
Speaker 1: sacrifice size on defense for speed. Well, you're not wrong. Obviously.

1181
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 1: Part of that is because these offenses spread it out,

1182
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:13,240
Speaker 1: so you don't have a choice. You have to change

1183
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:16,400
Speaker 1: and adapt. When we talk about building a team, it

1184
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:20,360
Speaker 1: always starts with quarterback, left tackle, rush end, and corner.

1185
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 1: Rightfully so, But with this revitalization of the running back,

1186
01:08:25,400 --> 01:08:27,720
Speaker 1: do you think we'll see more teams picking off the

1187
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:32,120
Speaker 1: ball linebackers who can play big and have speed higher

1188
01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:35,200
Speaker 1: in the draft. Usually those guys don't go into the

1189
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:39,080
Speaker 1: second day. I feel like, if your average on the

1190
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:42,360
Speaker 1: back end, you can still win games Detroit, But if

1191
01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:45,840
Speaker 1: you can't stop a nosebleed on the ground Dallas, you

1192
01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:48,559
Speaker 1: have no shot. Nerdy question, but I'd love to hear

1193
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:51,599
Speaker 1: your thoughts as a former scout. Well, you can only

1194
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:54,840
Speaker 1: draft what comes in. So if you just look at

1195
01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:56,880
Speaker 1: college I bet if we went to Ohio State Texas,

1196
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:58,519
Speaker 1: we just went through the top ten teams, right or

1197
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:03,720
Speaker 1: top twenty five teams. Most of the best linebackers. This

1198
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:05,760
Speaker 1: is an educated guest. I don't have their rosters in

1199
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:08,800
Speaker 1: front of me. Are not two hundred and fifty pound guys.

1200
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 1: So the sport changed because of the changing of the offenses.

1201
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:17,120
Speaker 1: So the type linebackers that came in the league are

1202
01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:19,800
Speaker 1: more likely to be two hundred and twenty five to

1203
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:24,519
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty low two thirties that can really run. Now,

1204
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:27,360
Speaker 1: the knock on that historically is like, well, if you

1205
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:31,719
Speaker 1: run a smash mouth offense, how can that guy shed

1206
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:35,320
Speaker 1: a guard or a tackle or even a center. And

1207
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:38,599
Speaker 1: it's difficult and they have to beat him with speed

1208
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:42,559
Speaker 1: and instincts. But because these running backs now all can catch,

1209
01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:45,160
Speaker 1: I have to have that guy in the field because

1210
01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:47,120
Speaker 1: he's got to be able to run to the flat.

1211
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:51,440
Speaker 1: So what you're saying of the three off the ball linebackers,

1212
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:54,280
Speaker 1: to me, a lot of those guys are kind of

1213
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:57,720
Speaker 1: hybrid players. The third guy. When I was in the

1214
01:09:57,840 --> 01:09:59,840
Speaker 1: NFL and worked in college, it was true like pro

1215
01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:03,760
Speaker 1: offenses versus a team had a strong side linebacker, a

1216
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:06,839
Speaker 1: middle linebacker, and a week side linebacker, and the weekside

1217
01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 1: linebacker was built like basically all the linebackers now. Kind

1218
01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:14,080
Speaker 1: of like Fred Warner would have been a week side linebacker.

1219
01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:17,400
Speaker 1: Maybe he's big enough now, but in two thousand and two,

1220
01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:19,200
Speaker 1: Fred Warner would have been a week side linebacker, the

1221
01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:21,559
Speaker 1: best weeks side linebacker in the league, and then it

1222
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:24,240
Speaker 1: kind of changed. Now if you can find a Patrick

1223
01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:27,840
Speaker 1: Willis right or Brian Urlacker, guys that now Erlacker was

1224
01:10:27,880 --> 01:10:29,960
Speaker 1: smaller when he came into the league, clearly was bigger

1225
01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:32,240
Speaker 1: in his prime. But guys the way two hundred and forty

1226
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:34,040
Speaker 1: five hundred fifty to hundred fifty five pounds, they can

1227
01:10:34,160 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 1: run like that. It's a no brainer. But they don't

1228
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:40,000
Speaker 1: really exist. So I see a lot of teams still

1229
01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:44,080
Speaker 1: having two linebackers, but their safety. You know, the forty

1230
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:47,679
Speaker 1: nine ers had Hu Funga, the Bravens have fucking Kyle Hamilton,

1231
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:50,400
Speaker 1: who looks like a Hall of Famer. Well, they become

1232
01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:54,400
Speaker 1: like these hybrid linebackers because they're great run players because

1233
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:57,200
Speaker 1: they're so unafraid, so physical at the line of scrimmage,

1234
01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:03,080
Speaker 1: and you're you're defensive looks can change because that guy

1235
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:05,559
Speaker 1: can cover and he can play the run. The other

1236
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:10,160
Speaker 1: thing is your corners, now, especially your nickel corner, which

1237
01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:12,439
Speaker 1: you're going to be a nickel whatever. I don't know

1238
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:14,840
Speaker 1: seventy percent of the time. I haven't seen the stats

1239
01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:16,200
Speaker 1: this year, but I think over the last like four

1240
01:11:16,280 --> 01:11:18,840
Speaker 1: or five years, it's it went from like fifty to

1241
01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:22,280
Speaker 1: fifty to like closer to like eighty percent. Maybe it's

1242
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 1: seventy seventy to seventy five percent. That guy has to

1243
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:29,800
Speaker 1: tackle because if he will not tackle the a good

1244
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:32,360
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator will call runs at him all day long

1245
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 1: because if you've put him on the field and it's

1246
01:11:36,439 --> 01:11:39,040
Speaker 1: clearly a passing look and your safeties are playing back

1247
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:42,200
Speaker 1: like that guy has to be a run defender. So

1248
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:46,840
Speaker 1: I I think it's more about having guys that can

1249
01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 1: be versatile, because the versatility on offense is not gonna change.

1250
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:54,720
Speaker 1: I mean, at at watching Texas play offense, they got

1251
01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:57,799
Speaker 1: running backs who can catch and run inside the tackles,

1252
01:11:57,840 --> 01:11:59,960
Speaker 1: outside the tackles, It's like those guys are NFL guys.

1253
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:03,479
Speaker 1: And then they got countless wide receivers who can take

1254
01:12:03,479 --> 01:12:06,479
Speaker 1: tunnel screens of the house, who can jump balls. So

1255
01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:08,679
Speaker 1: it's like all these players at all these top schools,

1256
01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:10,360
Speaker 1: Ohio State's got a ton of skill guys. I mean

1257
01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:13,600
Speaker 1: the freshman wide receiver, their running backs, those guys can

1258
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:15,920
Speaker 1: do so much. I need hybrid defensive players. The other

1259
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:18,720
Speaker 1: thing you said is when you have cover corners, Well,

1260
01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:21,560
Speaker 1: how many teams have good cover corners. Most teams have

1261
01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:24,400
Speaker 1: like one the best. You know, the Chiefs are somewhat

1262
01:12:24,400 --> 01:12:26,320
Speaker 1: of an outlier. They got a bunch of good dbs

1263
01:12:27,479 --> 01:12:30,880
Speaker 1: and that's what makes them unique is McDuffie can kind

1264
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:33,519
Speaker 1: of be this hybrid Charles Woodson player. So I think

1265
01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:36,000
Speaker 1: when you're talking about the best defenses, do you have

1266
01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:40,800
Speaker 1: hybrid Swiss army knives? And McDuffie's a Swiss army knife.

1267
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:44,040
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton's a Swiss army knife. Who Fungo when he's

1268
01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:46,920
Speaker 1: healthy for the Niners is a Swiss Army knife because

1269
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:50,160
Speaker 1: he can turn into a linebacker. So those guys tackle.

1270
01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:53,560
Speaker 1: That's what made Richard Sherman such a great corner is

1271
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:56,599
Speaker 1: he was a great zone defender, but he could tackle

1272
01:12:56,680 --> 01:12:59,400
Speaker 1: like a linebacker, so you couldn't run to his side

1273
01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:03,160
Speaker 1: because he would come in and fill and you would

1274
01:13:03,200 --> 01:13:05,200
Speaker 1: never run a sweep or an outside look to him

1275
01:13:05,320 --> 01:13:07,920
Speaker 1: because he's such a great he turns into like a

1276
01:13:08,720 --> 01:13:12,200
Speaker 1: safety slash small linebacker. And so to me, the key

1277
01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:15,320
Speaker 1: is just finding guys like the knock when I was

1278
01:13:15,400 --> 01:13:18,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL and just young kind of run around linebackers.

1279
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:22,280
Speaker 1: Is they like hitting in space, but they didn't like

1280
01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:28,120
Speaker 1: you know, the I would say, the clutter that is

1281
01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:31,120
Speaker 1: presented between the tackles and they get lost in the shuffle.

1282
01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:33,519
Speaker 1: And I think these guys have gotten so used to

1283
01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:37,559
Speaker 1: kind of I don't know, running around him now. If

1284
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:40,960
Speaker 1: a top tackle, if Sewell or Trent Williams or whoever,

1285
01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:44,720
Speaker 1: you know, Tristan Wurf's gets their hands on most of

1286
01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:48,680
Speaker 1: these linebackers, they fucking destroy them. Where if you go

1287
01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:51,439
Speaker 1: back to like when I was a kid, you'd have

1288
01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:54,280
Speaker 1: one on one those guys just coming full speed down.

1289
01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:57,439
Speaker 1: Unless you were like Larry Allen. There would just be

1290
01:13:57,600 --> 01:14:01,240
Speaker 1: huge collisions with guards and centers and even tack and

1291
01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:04,920
Speaker 1: sometimes they'd win, sometimes they'd lose. Now, like it's really

1292
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:08,720
Speaker 1: a lot of running around them, which I would do

1293
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:11,920
Speaker 1: the same if I was a smaller linebacker. Got a

1294
01:14:12,040 --> 01:14:15,920
Speaker 1: question heard you with Colin. You said you were at

1295
01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:19,439
Speaker 1: the an Ou fan What do you think of Venables

1296
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:22,880
Speaker 1: staying with Hawkins instead of throwing Arnold in for the

1297
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:26,040
Speaker 1: right Red River rivalry game. Do you think Arnold has

1298
01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:29,120
Speaker 1: told him he's hitting the portal regardless of this year

1299
01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 1: and Venables keeping it out of the media. I'm not

1300
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:36,040
Speaker 1: saying Arnold is better or worse. But I wonder why

1301
01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:39,599
Speaker 1: they didn't even throw him in at all. I don't

1302
01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:43,080
Speaker 1: know this for a fact, but clearly he's gonna transfer

1303
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:46,439
Speaker 1: right now. I don't know if he's already told them

1304
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:49,519
Speaker 1: don't put me in the game, which would be weird

1305
01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:53,040
Speaker 1: because during warm ups he's playing catch with Hawkins. The

1306
01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:56,479
Speaker 1: reason they're just running with Hawkins is their wide receiver suck.

1307
01:14:56,800 --> 01:14:59,519
Speaker 1: The top five guys are injured, so they're rolling out

1308
01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:03,240
Speaker 1: guys they would never play. So the only element that

1309
01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:07,240
Speaker 1: they have on offense he is running the quarterback around

1310
01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:10,559
Speaker 1: which Texas is so good on defense. I heard someone

1311
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:12,760
Speaker 1: say they're averaging like their opponents are averaging like six

1312
01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:17,040
Speaker 1: or seven points. Their Texas defensive speed is pretty eye opening,

1313
01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:20,360
Speaker 1: which Sark needs. Right. If he gets a good defense,

1314
01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:22,400
Speaker 1: their offense is so good they can win a Natty.

1315
01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:25,280
Speaker 1: That was their what was their downfall last year? Defense?

1316
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:28,760
Speaker 1: De Boor and Pennix and those boys lit them up

1317
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:31,200
Speaker 1: like Christmas Tree. It's gonna be a lot more difficult

1318
01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:33,960
Speaker 1: this year, and we know the Texas can score. So

1319
01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:37,880
Speaker 1: Hawkins kind of gave gives them a running element, and

1320
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:41,240
Speaker 1: I think that's why. And you know what's funny is

1321
01:15:41,320 --> 01:15:45,719
Speaker 1: you watch Hawkins in warm ups and he was throwing

1322
01:15:45,800 --> 01:15:47,880
Speaker 1: some of these passes and you're just like, this guy's

1323
01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:51,400
Speaker 1: throwing bullets. Now he doesn't really know where the ball's going.

1324
01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:56,559
Speaker 1: But I get true freshman rolling with them. Like all

1325
01:15:56,640 --> 01:15:59,920
Speaker 1: these guys come in different shapes and sizes. Seeing Arnold,

1326
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:03,120
Speaker 1: who was the fourth quarterback in his class behind Arch

1327
01:16:03,760 --> 01:16:07,320
Speaker 1: Nico and the dude that got beat out of Boise

1328
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:11,360
Speaker 1: State that came from usc Like you see Arch standing there,

1329
01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:14,760
Speaker 1: he's even Mario's like, god, he's big. I'm like, well, yeah,

1330
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:16,800
Speaker 1: he's a man. He's like six or five. He's huge,

1331
01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:22,360
Speaker 1: bigger than yours. And you see Arnold, who's probably more

1332
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:27,920
Speaker 1: like I would say, looks more like you know, Derek

1333
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:31,960
Speaker 1: Carr type, Jimmy Garoppolo. I'm talking body type, but doesn't

1334
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:34,880
Speaker 1: have the movement. Hawkins, who is much closer to the

1335
01:16:36,920 --> 01:16:38,439
Speaker 1: I don't even know what he you know, he's like

1336
01:16:38,479 --> 01:16:41,799
Speaker 1: a poor man's Kyler. Obviously Kyler is much better at everything,

1337
01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:44,240
Speaker 1: but like that's kind of what his mold's gonna be.

1338
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:47,519
Speaker 1: Run around, make big plays, throw bombs. He's got a

1339
01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:49,920
Speaker 1: big arm, and he's gonna have to coach him up,

1340
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:51,920
Speaker 1: and the better players he plays with, the better he's

1341
01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:55,080
Speaker 1: gonna be. I think it's very, very complicated with this

1342
01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:59,719
Speaker 1: transfer portal. They could Arnold could not pass and couldn't

1343
01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:03,000
Speaker 1: sup turning the ball over. So you make the move,

1344
01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:05,559
Speaker 1: and once you make the move, all these guys get

1345
01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:08,679
Speaker 1: like butt hurt and they go, well, I'm out because

1346
01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:12,320
Speaker 1: they can. And I think once you say that, you

1347
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:14,160
Speaker 1: just kind of honor it and I, you know, maybe

1348
01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:16,439
Speaker 1: cut them off the nil. I don't know exactly how

1349
01:17:16,479 --> 01:17:18,800
Speaker 1: it works, but at least where I was sitting, it

1350
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:20,960
Speaker 1: looked like he was the backup quarterback for that game.

1351
01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:24,960
Speaker 1: So if he's the backup quarterback, he's just trying to

1352
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:27,960
Speaker 1: be a good I don't know. These these situations are complicated.

1353
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:30,240
Speaker 1: I would have done what they did. I just roll

1354
01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:32,320
Speaker 1: with this kid. It's gonna be a tough year. You

1355
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:34,240
Speaker 1: try to get to like eight wins, and then next

1356
01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:36,439
Speaker 1: year your offense is way better because they are good

1357
01:17:36,479 --> 01:17:38,600
Speaker 1: on defense. I mean, it was seven to three with

1358
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:41,040
Speaker 1: like five minutes to go in the first half. They

1359
01:17:41,080 --> 01:17:43,880
Speaker 1: had already picked off viewers, and then they fumbled twice

1360
01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:47,479
Speaker 1: and text turned into twenty one points. So Stafford was

1361
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:50,120
Speaker 1: on Fox this past Sunday, looks like he might be

1362
01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:53,240
Speaker 1: coming in for a tryout. Think this is the last

1363
01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:56,479
Speaker 1: season we see Stafford and see him on Fox next year,

1364
01:17:57,280 --> 01:18:01,439
Speaker 1: similar to how Kelsey went on Amazon. I think this

1365
01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:04,320
Speaker 1: one's probably a little different. You know, he lives in

1366
01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:08,479
Speaker 1: LA so it's easy for him. Stafford his I think

1367
01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:11,760
Speaker 1: his good friend is now dating Carrissa. Carrissa's very close

1368
01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:18,479
Speaker 1: with his Stafford's wife, Kelly. You know, inevitably, could he

1369
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:21,599
Speaker 1: be calling games in five years for sure? But even

1370
01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:24,400
Speaker 1: if he is, and Fox would hire him in a heartbeat,

1371
01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:27,280
Speaker 1: and he'd be fun Like I'd hire him too if

1372
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:30,639
Speaker 1: I were them. But it doesn't pay what he's making

1373
01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:34,400
Speaker 1: right now thirty five forty million dollars. So even if

1374
01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:35,920
Speaker 1: it's a good salary, like hey, we'll give you a

1375
01:18:35,920 --> 01:18:38,080
Speaker 1: couple million dollars to call games, like Greg Olsen is

1376
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:40,439
Speaker 1: making three million dollars, would you rather make three million

1377
01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:45,240
Speaker 1: dollars or make forty playing quarterback? So to me, Stafford

1378
01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:47,639
Speaker 1: feels like the type guy. Now he's got a young family,

1379
01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:51,240
Speaker 1: a bunch of kids. Maybe he just calls it quits

1380
01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:53,639
Speaker 1: a little earlier, And you think so I didn't get

1381
01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:56,679
Speaker 1: that impression like this is he's doing this to transition

1382
01:18:56,760 --> 01:18:59,280
Speaker 1: next year. Remember Greg Olsen called games while he was playing,

1383
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:02,360
Speaker 1: like in the bye week, would call a game, and

1384
01:19:02,439 --> 01:19:04,720
Speaker 1: I think he still played a couple of years and

1385
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:06,719
Speaker 1: it wasn't until maybe he was like, God, my body

1386
01:19:06,760 --> 01:19:08,439
Speaker 1: doesn't feel good. I'm not as good of a player.

1387
01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:11,880
Speaker 1: I'm out. But if you're Stafford, you're like shit, if

1388
01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:13,320
Speaker 1: my team was a little if we didn't have so

1389
01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:16,559
Speaker 1: many injuries, my team would be awesome because I'm still good.

1390
01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:22,599
Speaker 1: He's not wrong. So if I was guessing uneducated, guess

1391
01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:27,360
Speaker 1: I think Matt Stafford is playing football next year if

1392
01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:31,240
Speaker 1: he's healthy. This is a comment. Totally agree with Patricia

1393
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:35,599
Speaker 1: on the Coach Pod. He still seems enthralled to Bill

1394
01:19:36,080 --> 01:19:39,719
Speaker 1: and is stopping him from opinioning properly and expressing his views.

1395
01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:43,040
Speaker 1: That's what we want from him and every ex coach

1396
01:19:43,400 --> 01:19:47,759
Speaker 1: on the media. I agree. Listen, I no one's judging

1397
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:50,840
Speaker 1: when I turn on to watch you. Obviously, I'm more

1398
01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:53,479
Speaker 1: inclined to watch Bill Belichick because he's Bill Belichick and

1399
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:56,479
Speaker 1: won six rings. But like, if you're a former coach

1400
01:19:56,600 --> 01:19:59,120
Speaker 1: and you're talented on television and interesting and willing to

1401
01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:01,479
Speaker 1: say some shit like you're gonna to be entertaining. And

1402
01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:04,240
Speaker 1: Bill actually is kinda like he's willing to kind of

1403
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:07,400
Speaker 1: throw some blows. But I think sometimes he looks over Patricia,

1404
01:20:07,439 --> 01:20:11,400
Speaker 1: who's terrified to offend anybody, and he and Bill's like, yeah,

1405
01:20:11,439 --> 01:20:13,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna coach it, and he kind of pulls in

1406
01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:16,000
Speaker 1: the reins. Or if you just got Bill and Lombardi,

1407
01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:19,439
Speaker 1: I think there'd be episodes where they would just empty

1408
01:20:19,479 --> 01:20:22,560
Speaker 1: the clip. Cause again, you know, I've had people in

1409
01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:24,760
Speaker 1: the NFL get mad at me, like I don't man,

1410
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:27,519
Speaker 1: that was fucked up what you said. No, we're all

1411
01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:30,640
Speaker 1: saying the same things. I just put my name on

1412
01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:34,680
Speaker 1: literally everything I say, right, So, like who knows what

1413
01:20:34,880 --> 01:20:36,680
Speaker 1: Bill is saying when the MIC's not on him. That's

1414
01:20:36,720 --> 01:20:38,920
Speaker 1: what we want. Now, we're not gonna get at all,

1415
01:20:39,840 --> 01:20:42,320
Speaker 1: but if we can just get twenty thirty forty percent

1416
01:20:42,360 --> 01:20:47,760
Speaker 1: of it, like it's gonna be fantastic television or YouTube. Right,

1417
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:51,479
Speaker 1: So that's all I want as someone that's a consumer

1418
01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:55,320
Speaker 1: of this stuff. Entertainment, baby, just entertainment, and throw some blows.

1419
01:20:55,439 --> 01:20:58,240
Speaker 1: Talk how you normally talk, Just talk how you normally talk,

1420
01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:00,920
Speaker 1: Like when I watch Patricia talk. I don't believe he

1421
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:03,040
Speaker 1: normally does. I believe you take the mic off him,

1422
01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:05,479
Speaker 1: get him behind. He's saying a bunch of shit and

1423
01:21:05,560 --> 01:21:07,280
Speaker 1: he's unwilling to say it. So if you're unwilling to

1424
01:21:07,320 --> 01:21:10,200
Speaker 1: say it, take the fucking mic off you're not. No

1425
01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:13,479
Speaker 1: one wants to hear from you. At least Bill. Bill's earned,

1426
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:16,000
Speaker 1: like I get it. He's going to be a head

1427
01:21:16,040 --> 01:21:19,360
Speaker 1: coach next year, so we can't evisterate everybody, but he's

1428
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:21,880
Speaker 1: He's gotten way closer to the line on some stuff

1429
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:24,280
Speaker 1: than I ever thought he would, so I appreciate that.

1430
01:21:28,320 --> 01:21:28,960
Speaker 1: The volume
