Christian 13 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: McCaffrey headed to the forty niners. We had a Thursday 14 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: night football game which I was really more locked into 15 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: the Yankees, but you know, give the Cardinals are due, 16 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: you get a couple of picks.

Kyler 19 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: snapped on Cliff again and then obviously a lot more 20 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: Football Talk three podcast.

Okay, 24 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: we the trade the night was. I guess I'm rarely shocked. 25 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: I was pretty shocked. Now there has been a lot 26 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: of buzz in Niner land that they have been interested in, 27 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: and I'll be honest, I didn't take it that seriously, 28 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: not that they wouldn't be interested in Christian McCaffrey. Kyle 29 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: Shanahan idolized as a kid Ed McCaffrey. He were eighty 30 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: seven at the University of Texas because of Ed McCaffrey. Obviously, 31 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: the McCaffrey family the Shanahan family are close. Christian has been, 32 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: you know, win healthy and elite player, but he's been 33 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: banged up and he makes a lot of money for 34 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: a position that's relatively easy to replace. Here's the other thing. 35 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: The forty Niners have invested heavily at running back. They 36 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: drafted to last year, they drafted another this year, obviously, 37 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell. They're starting running back who they hit on 38 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: last year as a six rounders. Really good player is 39 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: injured and Ty Davis Price, who's a pretty good player too, 40 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: is also picked up. That's a problem with the forty Niners. 41 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 1: They get injured a lot. Now they have a lot 42 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: of physical players. And you know, you've heard my theories 43 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: and why I think a lot of guys are getting injured, 44 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: especially physical players, because you don't practice physicality anymore. You 45 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: don't do double bage, you don't do padded practices. It's 46 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: all these walk through like events or high speed like 47 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: events that aren't hitting. And then you get to the 48 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: game where guys have never been faster, and guys are 49 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: dropping like flies, and no team drops like flies more 50 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: than the forty Niners. Now they're lucky they're getting Trent 51 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: Williams back this week and Nick Bosa back this week, 52 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: but they have other guys injured and when you trade. Now, 53 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: let's face it, part of this trade was because of 54 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 1: the Ramps. They are in an arms race with the Ramps. 55 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: Remember the Red Sox and Yankees for years they got 56 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: into an arms race. That's what this has become. Because 57 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford said on to Jalen Ramsey on a podcast 58 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: that when I got traded to the Rams, I was shocked. 59 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,239 Speaker 1: I thought I was going to the forty Niners wanted them, 60 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: and they got out bid because they didn't have you know, 61 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: they gave him back, Jared Goff. They just had a 62 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: better package and they gave two ones. And when the 63 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: forty Diners gave a second third and a fourth and 64 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: then a following year's fifth, Like, I don't really care 65 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: about fifth round picks, but a second third and a 66 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: fourth when you don't have a first round pick is 67 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: a lot. Now they got other comp picks, and they 68 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: have multiple threes, and Damiko Ryan's probably get a job 69 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: and they'll get another comp three like they will get picks. 70 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: But it's still a bold move to make now. I 71 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: thought last year the Rams were crazy when they traded 72 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: a second and a third for von Miller, but part 73 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: of that was because he was a rental. Now it 74 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: worked out. He kind of got his old Denver Bronco 75 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: mid two thousand tens back, gave him a sack every 76 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: game in the playoffs and was awesome as the trade 77 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,679 Speaker 1: was well worth it. Obviously the Broncos eate the money 78 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: Rams do the trade. They win the Super Bowl, who cares? 79 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 1: But then he leaves and you're watching them this year 80 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: they're not as good, and they didn't have the pick, 81 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: so their team's not as deep. Now. The forty niners 82 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: make a bold trade partly because they're getting this bidding 83 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,119 Speaker 1: war for the Rams. And you know, like bidding wars 84 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: happen a lot like in housing markets right not right 85 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: now because it's in the tank, but when housing markets 86 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: are thriving, like one we've experienced it in northern California 87 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: for a long time. You just you bet against like 88 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: five other people, and when times are good, sometimes like 89 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: twelve other people, fifteen other people. People got out cash offers, 90 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: and some people have more money than others, so you 91 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: just get into a bidding war with someone with more 92 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 1: money than you, you lose because even if it's a 93 00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: five dollar house, if people start bidding eight nine thousand dollars, 94 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: eventually like that guy's like, ship, I'll just pay a 95 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: million dollars and you're like, oh my god, I was 96 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 1: prepared to pay three thousand dollars over asking, and I 97 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: got outbid by multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars. And 98 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: usually it's a combination of a guy maybe he's more desperate, 99 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: slash he has more money, and I think you look 100 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: at the rams, the Rams were more desperate. They do 101 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: not have a running back. Sean McVeigh hates cam Akers. 102 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 1: The forty Niners have a million running backs. The problem 103 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: is they get injured a lot. Well, I just looked 104 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: at the Rams. They don't have a fourth round pick. 105 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: So clearly the Rams were prepared, as we saw last year. 106 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: They have a company motto that says, fuck them picks. 107 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: So the forty Niners were getting to a bidding war 108 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: with a team that does not care about draft picks. 109 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: But they don't have a fourth round pick. So the 110 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: forty Niners were in a bidding war with their rival, 111 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: and they ultimately had a trump card, which was the 112 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: fourth round pick. But the crazy thing, in my opinion, 113 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: is the forty Niners didn't need to be as desperate 114 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: as the Rams. Let them give their second third pick, Like, 115 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: do you really need a running back who who's been 116 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: injured a lot? I like Christian McCaffrey. He's been incredible 117 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: when he's been healthy. He is one of the more 118 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: versatile players at his position we've ever seen. He's like 119 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: a modern day Marshall Falk because he can catch the ball, 120 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: you can run between the tackles, he can run outside. 121 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: But he's been injured a lot ankle injuries, hamstring injuries, 122 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: shoulder injuries. He's just been injured. You miss a lot 123 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: of games. And the forty Niners are a team like, 124 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: part of the players that they need to acquire moving 125 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: forward are healthy players, because anyone can get hurt in football. 126 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 1: You could be a durable player and then get injured 127 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: on any given play. Can happen like that. But when 128 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: you're injured a lot and then I draft you and 129 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 1: then you get injured again, like, that's kind of on 130 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: me the team. Now. Part of the reason I'm okay 131 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: with being aggressive on a trade with a player like 132 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: this is he's under contract for several years now. The 133 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: way his contract works is it gets a lot more 134 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: expensive in terms of cap hits, not the money that's 135 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: already been paid moving forward. So his cap money over 136 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 1: the next couple of years is like nineteen mail in 137 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,239 Speaker 1: nineteen million, nineteen million. But the forty Niners, doing some research, 138 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: may only be on the may be on the Their 139 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: cap hit might only be twelve million. Regardless, he's an 140 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: expensive running back who gets injured a lot. It's risky, 141 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: but the forty is Kyle Shanahan is probably like, I 142 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: can't get outbid by the Rams and have them win 143 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: the division again when ultimately I need to get over 144 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: the hump, and so you roll the dice. I just 145 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: don't know if you roll the dice to quote unquote 146 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: get over the hump with a running back. That's if 147 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: you would have done this for Laramie Tunzil. They're like, oh, 148 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: you know, the forty Niners just traded. He's gonna play 149 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: right tackle with Trent Williams. Their second, their third, their fourth, 150 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: the next year's wanting back. Ship. I get it. You 151 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: would have said, hey, you know this Falcons waved the 152 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: white flag, Grady Jarrett, second, third, fourth, the next year's 153 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: wanting back. I get it. But are running back and 154 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: it's not like, well, the forty Niners have a bunch 155 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: of offensive weapons, Deebo, Samuel Brandon, Aiyuk, George Kittle, a 156 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: bunch of running backs. Like it's it's very very risky 157 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: and I and you know me, I'm all four rolling 158 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: the dice and being aggressive, but I also think there's 159 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: a fine line of being reckless and kind of crossing 160 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: the line and ultimately draft picks. You know, majority of 161 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: draft picks don't hit, but the forty hit on a 162 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: lot of random draft picks. It's why they've been being 163 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: able to be competitive without star quarterback play because they 164 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: get all these guys in the second, third, fourth, fifth rounds, 165 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: like they're starting guard second round pick, Deebo Samuel, second 166 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: round pick, Fred Warner, third round pick. You know, they 167 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: just have built their team with a lot of guys second, third, 168 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: and fourth round picks. Dre Greenlaw fifth round pick. So 169 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: you gotta value those things. Because George Kittle fifth round pick, 170 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: Brandon I, you late first round pick that they traded 171 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: in for. I just if it works, they're gonna look 172 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: like geniuses, and if it backfires, everyone's gonna be making 173 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 1: fun of them. But I think the positional value trading 174 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,719 Speaker 1: that much for a running back. Ultimately, last year where 175 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: they traded that much for Von Miller, he was still 176 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame pass rusher, the most important position 177 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: in the league, quarterback, second most important position in the league, 178 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: pass rusher, running back. We all agree. It is like 179 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: well down the list right there, like guard. You know, 180 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: it's it's near the bottom and the fort half a 181 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: million running back, So I mean, I get it. Kyle Shannon, 182 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,599 Speaker 1: This feels much more like a coaching move, Like do 183 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: the guys in the front office would they have given 184 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: the thumbs up on this? I don't know. This feels 185 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: like a coach because the coach isn't worried about next offseason. 186 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 1: He's trying to beat the Chiefs, and then he's trying 187 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: to beat the Rams, and he's trying to beat the Chargers. 188 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: It's always worried about So I that's why I like 189 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: my front offices. Like why is why have the Rams 190 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: made all these trades? Now? A lot of them have 191 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: worked because their coach coaches don't have much patience, especially 192 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: in the season when they're trying to win. Just wild trade, 193 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: wild trade. Talking about wild trades, think about the Saints. 194 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: Do you know who the Saints are? They're an organization 195 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: that viewed themselves like Apple, like, regardless who runs it, 196 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: we're going to be successful. Right Steve Jobs dies, Tim 197 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: Cook takes over. Haven't been faced. They have been one 198 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: of the best companies in the world for multiple decades. Now. 199 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: I'm looking at my Apple computer, I'm looking at my 200 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: Apple iPhone. I got an iPad sitting right over there. 201 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: I got a million Apple Products. It doesn't matter who's 202 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: running them. They are just a behemoth of a company, 203 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: my Apple plus TV. The Saints were shitty before Sean 204 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: Payton arrived Andrew Brees, who came basically as a package deal. 205 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: They're both gone. They're shitty again. Yet this offseason, when 206 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: they traded the two thousand, twenty three first round pick, 207 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: they operated like they were still gonna keep rolling. And 208 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: I said from the jump, you can't lose Sean Payton 209 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: and go to Dennis Allen and and just assume you're 210 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: gonna be good. It made no sense not to take 211 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,719 Speaker 1: just a deep breath and just assess where you were 212 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: after a year, what your team needs, like are we 213 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: gonna be in a transitional period? Instead, they viewed themselves 214 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,719 Speaker 1: like a super Bowl champ, And in what world were 215 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 1: you gonna be a Super Bowl content? Or when your 216 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: quarterback position was Jamis Winston and Andy Dalton, Andy Dalton, 217 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 1: it had to be a record. I had the game 218 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: on mute because at the Yankees game, the sound on 219 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: through two pick six is under the two minute warning 220 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: in the first half. That has that has that ever 221 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 1: happened in the NFL. I would bet a thousand dollars 222 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: right now. That has never happened in the NFL. He'd like, Oh, well, 223 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: Jamis Winston is better, is he? I once saw Jamis 224 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: Winston throw thirty plus interceptions. So their coach stinks and 225 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: their quarterback position is average at best. You have no 226 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: shot at winning. I don't care how much talent you 227 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: have at different positions. And they made a move like 228 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: they still had Drew Brees and Sean Payton and they 229 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: just don't. And one thing we're finding out is there 230 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: the Saints, and without Sean Payton and without Drew Brees, 231 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: the Saints are the ants. Like ultimately Alabama, Georgia, Florida. 232 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: You know, Nick Saban will leave and they'll get an 233 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: other good coach, and more than likely they'll never be 234 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: as good as maybe they were understating, But they'll be good. 235 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: L s U will be good under Brian Kelly, and 236 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: then they'll be good under the next coach. Oregon will 237 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: be good under Dan Landing, and then they'll be good 238 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: after their next coach. Certain programs are just consistently good 239 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: in college football. That is not the way the NFL works. 240 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: Are the Patriots guaranteed to be good once Belichick leaves hell. No, 241 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: absolutely not so. In the NFL, your head coach, who 242 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: in a lot of these organizations, is the head honcho, 243 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: and the boss dictates it all, and then you put 244 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: him with the Hall of Fame quarterback, you're gonna kick 245 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: as for a long period of time. And they did. 246 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: But I removed Sean Payton and Drew Brees once he retired. 247 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 1: Like Sean Payton was still able to win nine games, 248 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: nine games with Ian Book, with Jamis Winston, with Teddy 249 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: Bridge Watt. I mean, think of what they I guess 250 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: Teddy wasn't on the team, but whoever the hell their 251 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: quarterbacks were, Taysom Hill. They went nine and eight last year, 252 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: nine and eight with basically the same team that Dennis 253 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 1: Allen's rolling out. Dennis Allen's about to go five and twelve. 254 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: The head coach really really matters in an organization like 255 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: the Saints. If you're a Saints fan, I understand it's 256 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,959 Speaker 1: You've had an incredible fifteen year run. It's been badass. 257 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: You have been one of the league's stalwart, consistent, cool franchises. 258 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: Those days are over, and I think you should be 259 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 1: asking yourself should we just fire Dennis Allen? At the 260 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:26,839 Speaker 1: end of the season and go looking for a head, 261 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: a big time head on jo pay someone twelve fifteen 262 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: million dollars. Just get a big time coach. At least 263 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: you should try, because you've got no chance moving forward. 264 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,079 Speaker 1: And the last but not least, I know, the Cardinals won. 265 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: Why is Kyler always yelling at Cliff on the outside? 266 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: I don't have any inside information with the team, but 267 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: everything Cliff said publicly was pro Kyler. He rooted for 268 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: him to get the contract. He kept saying publicly, I 269 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: hope we get this deal done. I hope we get 270 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: this deal done. He was a number one proponent who 271 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: pushed for Kyler Murray to build a franchise around to 272 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: get him all this money. And now Kyler Murray is 273 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: constantly screaming at his head coach, and tonight it looked 274 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: like I'm not a great lip reader. Look like he said, 275 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: calm the funk down, Like Kyler, let's just take a chill, Bill, buddy. 276 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: Should you always be yelling at this guy? And you 277 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: know me, I'm not some big Cliff Kingsbury believer, but 278 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: it feels like his lack of respect for his head 279 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: coach is a little crazy now you could also argue 280 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: this Cliff know what he's doing. If it wasn't for 281 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: those two picks sixes and honestly, Andy Dalton, they were 282 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: up fourteen to three and he threw a pick, it 283 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: would have made it twenty one to three. It would 284 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: have been blowout City, or actually would have been twenty 285 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: one to six. He throws a pick in the end 286 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: zone and kind of flipped the game. But I don't know, man, 287 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: I'm not seeing it. I like, you know, Benjamin actually 288 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: and obviously Hopkins coming back helps them out a lot. 289 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: You know, when you're the home team on these Thursday 290 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: night games, you have to win. It's a lot of 291 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: pressure on you to get the job done. But their 292 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: relationship is just bizarre. How often do you see I mean, 293 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: it's one thing to kind of scream at each other 294 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: after one bad play. It happens every coach, quarterback once 295 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: or twice. It feels like it happens every single week. 296 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: There's a visual of Kyler screaming at Cliff little bizarre, 297 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: but I guess you know, very on brand for that operation. 298 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: Football season is underway, so now is the perfect time 299 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: to download FanDuel America's number one sports book because right now, 300 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: new customers get a no sweat first bet up to 301 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: one thousand dollars.

I think it's 334 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 1: human nature to overthink things or to try to use 335 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 1: like jump steps, be the smartest guy in the room. 336 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: And I think I did that in terms of judging 337 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: NFL teams and specifically certain coaches coming into this year. 338 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,199 Speaker 1: I remember, you know, I didn't really start investing in 339 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,439 Speaker 1: the stock market till my thirties. But Tony Robbins, I 340 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: remember reading this when I was probably in college. Say 341 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: invest in what you use, right and listen. I've never 342 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: owned Apple stock, probably dumb because I'm talking into an 343 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: Apple computer. I have an iPad that I use every 344 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: single day, and I have a phone that I'm not 345 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: proud to say I average about seven hours a day 346 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 1: on again, not proud at all. So I use all 347 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: their products and I consistently have now for almost well 348 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: over a decade. Not investing them is dumb on my part. Right, 349 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: I've been a big believer in Netflix for a long 350 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: long time. Now obviously it's in shambles. The stock got 351 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 1: destroyed like a lot of them over the last year. Well, 352 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw a couple of days ago, 353 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 1: they shot up like a rocket. Like they've announced that 354 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: you know, no longer can share passwords with your cousins, 355 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 1: your brothers, your neighbors. We're also gonna start using ads 356 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 1: and you can pay way less money just have ads. 357 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,479 Speaker 1: I'm a Hulu guy. I have Hulu ads. I'm a 358 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: YouTube guy. I got ads, I got Pandora, I got ads. 359 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: Doesn't bother me. That's gonna greatly improve their business. Netflix 360 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: read Hastings Nowhere and Bill Belichick. Bill Belichick has been 361 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: a constant in my life since I was a sophomore 362 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: in high school when they beat the Raiders with the 363 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:16,919 Speaker 1: Tuck Rule game, and ever since, beside two seasons one 364 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: I guess right after they won their first Super Bowl 365 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: they missed the playoffs as well with Matt Castle when 366 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 1: they won eleven games, and then a couple of years 367 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: ago in the COVID season when Cam Newton was their quarterback. 368 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: But last year with Mac Jones, they easily made the playoffs. 369 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,640 Speaker 1: They won eleven games. This year. The Patricia and Joe 370 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: Judge thinks scared me one thing I I think. I 371 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 1: don't know if I didn't realize, but I probably put 372 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,360 Speaker 1: too much stock in Bill Belichick. Ain't letting that guy 373 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,640 Speaker 1: go Kyle Shanahan or Andy Reid. Ultimately, Bill Belichick's gonna 374 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: dictate what he wants, and guess what he wants. He 375 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: wants to run the football. What else does he want 376 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: to do? Play defense? Well, what does Bill Belichick's baby, 377 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: he's a defensive coordinator at heart. What are they now 378 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: pretty good at defense? What's another thing that Bill Belichick 379 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: just ultimately has over most teams he plays. He has 380 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 1: the advantage on the sideline. He's a better coach. Look 381 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: at these last couple of weeks. Now, I thought the 382 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: Patriots are gonna win like five games. Do you know 383 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: what they are gonna do? They're gonna compete to make 384 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: the playoffs. And you know what, they might make the playoffs? 385 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 1: Why because they got Bill fucking Belichick And I overthought 386 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: that one. Like I've seen him play last two weeks. 387 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski and Dan Campbell. And Dan Campbell is a 388 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: good example of someone that I gotta take the l on. 389 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 1: I thought the Lions were gonna be feisty. Do you 390 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: know what? I didn't put enough stock in Dan Campbell's 391 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: are head coach? I like him, I'm rooting for him. 392 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: Is he some schematic genius? Has he even proven that 393 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: he knows what he's doing being the head coach? No? 394 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: He is not. And right now the Lions are awful again. 395 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: They're terrible on defense. Well, if the Patriots had struggled 396 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: on offense, which they did the first couple of weeks 397 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 1: under Mac Jones. Do you know what Bill Belichick can 398 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: ultimately do? Even though he's a quote unquote defensive guy, 399 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: he can coach every position, he can influence every single play. 400 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 1: So what happens? They've gotten dramatically better on offense the 401 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. I saw him play Dan Campbell, 402 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: he won zero. Then he plays Kevin Stefanski. Do you 403 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: know what he did? He undressed him. So do I 404 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: think Bill Belichick and the Patriots or some powerhouse, No, 405 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: I do not. But I basically thought they were gonna suck. 406 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: And as long as Bill Belichick has a heartbeat and 407 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: a brain that's working and a headset on his head 408 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: and gets to influence and be the head coach for 409 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: any team, they're gonna be competitive. I don't give a shit. 410 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: If Matt Patricia and Joe Judge you are two best 411 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: offensive coaches, You're going to compete and you're gonna win 412 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: a lot of games because you're gonna have such a 413 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 1: massive advantage when you ultimately run up against Dan Campbell's 414 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: and Kevin Stefanski's Like he plays the Jets in a week. 415 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: Do you know where he has the massive advantage against 416 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: Robert Sala He plays the Bears on Monday Night football. 417 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: I like Belichick against Evra flus So I gotta and 418 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 1: in the Atlanta Falcons or another team, I thought they 419 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: were gonna be all full. I didn't love their roster. 420 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: But do you know what, it turns out Arthur Smith 421 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,439 Speaker 1: is pretty good at his job. We saw him with 422 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. He was a big reason that running 423 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: game and Derrick Henry became a star. Now I didn't 424 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: know this because I didn't have the evidence, but why 425 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: are the Giants good? Who? I also thought we're gonna 426 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 1: be drafting number one overall because Brian Dable is a 427 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: good coach. In college football, your roster really matters. You 428 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: have to be able to recruit. And if you recruit, 429 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 1: even a guy like ed O Geran, who again I 430 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: met him, who's really nice to me. I think we 431 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,479 Speaker 1: all agree, probably not the best head coach, lad one 432 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 1: of the greatest teams we've ever seen, because they had 433 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: the players. Why is Alabama not as good this year? Well, 434 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: because they can't recruit like they once could. One schools 435 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: like Texas and Texas, A and M can buy recruits. 436 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: Now you could always cheat, but now I can give 437 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: you seven figures. And Georgia, who is now Alabama's equal, 438 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: as I was told last week, like what's going on 439 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 1: with Alabama? They now get players that Alabama used to 440 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,439 Speaker 1: always get. So Alabama does not have the monopoly on 441 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: the sweet players in the South they want. Georgia gets 442 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: them too as well, and honestly some years they get 443 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: more of them. So in college football, you gotta do 444 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: two fold. You gotta be able to coach, but you 445 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: have to have the players. Otherwise it doesn't matter. Brian 446 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: Kelly's a really good coach at Notre Dame. He was 447 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: never gonna get the roster that Ohio State but Alabama, 448 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: that Clemson and Georgia could. That's why you always lost. 449 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: Now he's at l s U and he can't. So 450 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: you gotta be able to do both. You gotta be 451 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: able to coach, and you gotta get the star players 452 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,239 Speaker 1: in the NFL the talent for the most as as 453 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: a coach, once famously told me we were playing the 454 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 1: Bills when I worked with the Eagles. I'm like, we're 455 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: gonna kill the Bills. They were terrible at the time. 456 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: He's like, Bro, their players live in big, gass houses 457 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 1: and drive sweet cars, just like our players. And it's true. 458 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 1: Like the talent gap, like ultimately, the talent gap for 459 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions and the New England Patriots a couple 460 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: of weeks ago, was not thirty to nothing. I think 461 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: the final score was actually twenty nine and nothing. It 462 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: wasn't that because if I flipped the two coaches, here's 463 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: what happens. The Lions beat the Patriots. Now, some teams, 464 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: like the Bills are way more talented than the Patriots, 465 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: and they got Sean McDermot, who's a good coach, they're 466 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: probably gonna get swept. But most of the teams you play, 467 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: the gap isn't that wide. This is not college football. 468 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: This is not Ohio State against Northwestern, or Ohio State 469 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: against McNee state or Tennessee this week against who knows who. 470 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: This are the majority of teams. We got good players. 471 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 1: You've got good players. We're all got pros who can scheme, 472 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,160 Speaker 1: who can coach, who can lead, who can run a game? 473 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:45,199 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick can, and clearly Brian day ball camp and 474 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: that matters. But specifically, when you don't have the talent 475 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: and I gotta outthink you coaching is so important in 476 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: the NFL. The Denver Broncos, who actually liked this week 477 00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: I talked about what was stucky. You know, I think 478 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,439 Speaker 1: they are the pick going up against the Jets. But 479 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if you had a chance to see 480 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 1: that new commercial dangerous rusts and the subway commercials, I 481 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: think we all can acknowledge Russ as pretty weird. And 482 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: you know, if you saw this. There was a story 483 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: about James Corbyn that could do the desert the car karaoke, 484 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: who always seemed like this fun just like God, this 485 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: guy would be a lot of fun to bs with. 486 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: I I've never watched the show. I've seen his internet clips. 487 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: He got banned from a restaurant in New York because 488 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 1: he was a royal asshole. Remember last year when I 489 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: think Ellen was having her last season and it started 490 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: coming out from all the people behind the scenes started 491 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: leaking to t MZ that she was a miserable you 492 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: know what, that people hated her, And I was like, God, Ellen, 493 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: I thought Ellen was the most fun loving lady going 494 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 1: you ever flipped on her your shows like everyone laughing, 495 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: jumping up and down. And it turns out she was 496 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 1: a complete fraud. She was nothing like And this happens 497 00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: a lot in Hollywood, right, people have this what they 498 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 1: are in television, happy, go lucky, great like I don't 499 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: want to be friends with him, And turns out they 500 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 1: are mean s O B s. They are terrible people. 501 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: I call those people frauds phonies, and that happens a lot, right, 502 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: especially in any industry where a camera's on you, you 503 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: act one way. When the right red light goes off, 504 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: you act completely. I hate frauds. Listen, if you're an asshole, 505 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 1: you're an asshole. Just act like it. Don't do something 506 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 1: to profit when you're not. I understand why you do, 507 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: but I think you those type people are the scum 508 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 1: of the earth. And Russell Wilson, here's my issue with him, 509 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: because a lot of people that want to defend Russell 510 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 1: Wilson go you know, it's just who he is, a 511 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 1: super optimistic person. I'm not against optimism. I'm all for it. 512 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 1: I've said over and over I have to lean on 513 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: optimism more than negativity. And some people can thrive in 514 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 1: negativity vengeance. I can't. Clearly Russell can either. Now I 515 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: do think there's a way to balance how you artick 516 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: you laid it and how often you talk about it. 517 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: But listen, he's a quarterback, he's a spokesman for a team. 518 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 1: I get it. The go Hawks thing, I've always said 519 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 1: there is, and I saw Coward talking about it that 520 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: he thought that him going let's ride thing bugs a 521 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: lot of people. I would separate go Hawks and let's ride. 522 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: Go Hawks was something he was drafted there. He took 523 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 1: a lot of pride in winning the job, coming from Wisconsin, 524 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: where you know, remember Brett Belma used to say on Wisconsin. 525 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 1: Then Russell started doing it, and I always thought go Hawks, 526 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 1: even though it's not very often that you hear stuff 527 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 1: like that in the NFL, I thought it was very organic. 528 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: I thought it came very natural. Well, when then you 529 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: go to the Denver Broncos and you go, let's ride, 530 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 1: I think you completely made that up, Like I've never 531 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 1: heard that before. So it's one thing to have this 532 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 1: organic statement the Seahawks. Everyone up in Seattle calls them 533 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: the hawks. Go hawks. Very if you go to Denver. 534 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: No one was saying when John Elway was playing, or 535 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning was playing, or Mike Shannon and Jake Plumber saying, 536 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: let's ride like you're just making things up, Like to me, 537 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,919 Speaker 1: that is cheesy and to me where you become a fraud, 538 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, listen, I'm not very religious. I've been 539 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 1: a church. No, I'm like wedding or funeral or anything 540 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: like that inside a church. Legitimately to go to a 541 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: service on a Sunday under ten times in my life. Honestly, 542 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 1: it's probably closer to under five. So, but I have 543 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: no problem with religion and people that are religious totally 544 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: for it. I think there are probably a lot of 545 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: elements of religion that would help me out in my life. 546 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,120 Speaker 1: It's just not part of my life and it never will. 547 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: Like I'm just being real. So Russell Wilson being religious 548 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: is not why anyone has an issue with him. But 549 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: you can't be super Mr Religion and super optimist. When 550 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: Richard Sherman had Marshawn Lynch on his podcast and Marshawn, 551 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: Marshawn basically said like, I was never gonna root for 552 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: him when he was on Seattle, but I'm rooting for 553 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: him on the broncos I want to see Russell Wilson 554 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: do well. And I think Richard kind of was joking, 555 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: but it was like you should give him a call 556 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: and tell him that. And then Marshawn essentially said like, yeah, 557 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 1: I don't call people who I have to go through 558 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: their manager to get ahold of them. And it's like, 559 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 1: you know, you play this religious optimistic card. You're like 560 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: this good guy. And then I got a guy like 561 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: Marshawn has to call you to get a hold of you, 562 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: Like come on, man, Like if I'm your friend, now 563 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: I understand like you're some random guy, but your former teammates. 564 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: I've heard so many stories of Russell Wilson going to 565 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: golf tournaments, his golf tournament that every single person at 566 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: the golf tournament, Russell Wilson is personally invited, yet he 567 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: brings security with them to the golf tournament. It's like, bro, 568 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 1: what then are you doing? You know, if if I'm 569 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday, or I'm Marvin Harrison, or I'm Dallas Clark, 570 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: or I'm Julius Thomas or I'm Von Miller, if I 571 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: want to get ahold of Peyton Manning, I call Peyton Manning. 572 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: I've heard more and more. Obviously, I full golf very 573 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: closely of guys saying like, when I ever need anything, 574 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: I reach out to Tiger and he always calls me back. 575 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: Or sometimes Tiger un impromptly or you know, will reach 576 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: out to me, not his manager, not like his you know, 577 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: uh person that puts his calendar together him. So it's 578 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: like I've heard these stories about Russell Wilson. Marshall's just 579 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 1: admitting it. So it's like, I think Russell Listen is 580 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: he quirky and weird for sure, That's why you watch 581 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: him on the subway commercials. He's just a different cat, 582 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: which we're all. We all could be a little weird, 583 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: even though I'd say for the most part quarterbacks, like 584 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: I watched Patrick Molomes, I watched Josh Allen, just the 585 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 1: way they acted, that's a pretty normal guy. Even Tom 586 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: Brady up until like this year, for the most part, 587 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: even though he's super rich and super handsome, could kind 588 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: of come off as relatable. Peyton Manning's the best at it. 589 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: He could just get along with people. Why does Russell 590 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: struggle with that so much? Well, it's like I think 591 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 1: it's kind of a phony and a fraud. When I 592 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: gotta go through a manager, you say you're believing in 593 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 1: God and you say you're Mr. Team Guy, but it's 594 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: like you're not really, You're actually pretty elfish. And I 595 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: think sometimes people with religion can use religion to kind of, 596 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:10,719 Speaker 1: you know, mask they're insane narcissism and ego and it's 597 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: an easy one like I'm just doing it for God. No, 598 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: you're doing it for yourself, like just sucking look in 599 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: the mirror, buddy. So I think one thing that's happening 600 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,959 Speaker 1: this year with Russell for the first time, like truly 601 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: people being like legitimately critical. I think it's fair to 602 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 1: kind of call him a phony who's clearly not playing 603 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: very well. But you don't get to operate like this 604 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: and just always use these sayings just get away with it. 605 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: It's like, come on, bro, let's ride. You just made that. 606 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: You just pull that out of your ass. No one's 607 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: ever said that. Kid kids say that. Uh so yeah, 608 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: I mean I I thought it for a long time. 609 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: Uh There's a difference between being weird a little out 610 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: there and be and being a phony, right, Like I 611 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 1: think Elon Musk, can you follow in like he's out there, 612 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: but I think he's being a phony. I don't you know, 613 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 1: you can be out there and not be a phony. 614 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield and the Carolina Panthers looking like Sam Donald 615 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: might start this week. Uh, it's pretty crazy, right in 616 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: the two thousand and eighteen draft, there are five quarterbacks 617 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 1: taken Baker, Sam Josh Allen, Josh Rosen, and then Lamar Jackson. 618 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: I think it's pretty clear two guys are good, right 619 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: and three or not? And one I mean it's not 620 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: even an NFL player in Josh Rosen and then Sam Donald. 621 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield's careers are up in the air. And I 622 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: would say Baker Mayfield this year was a disaster, right, 623 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: got traded for barely nothing. Uh comes to Carolina. Now 624 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 1: he's hurt. But before he got hurt, he was one 625 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 1: of the worst quarterbacks. You could argue he was the 626 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 1: worst quarterback in the NFL. He was that bad he was. 627 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 1: He was horrendous. I mean he really was, Uh, zero positives, 628 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 1: only negatives. And Sam Donald got in a weird way 629 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: like he got injured even though Baker won the job, 630 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: but it was like, you know, he hurt his ankle. 631 00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: Would they have gone to Sam Donald weeks before? Well, 632 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: on one's acting like Sam Donald. They held on to Baker. 633 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 1: You know, once Baker quote unquote one the job, he 634 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: didn't really win the job. They traded for him. Matt 635 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: Rule needed to have a different pitch, and they went 636 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 1: with Baker Mayfield. Baker Mayfield's career, it's kind of hanging 637 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: on by a threat like Baker Mayfield is not a 638 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: starter in two thousand three, and then I think the 639 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 1: question is is he a backup? Obviously historically he's better 640 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: than a lot of backups, but he would say his 641 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: career has got a little weird off the field. I 642 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: would say a lot of teammates in Cleveland didn't exactly 643 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: pound the table for him. You know, his personality, one 644 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 1: of Colin Coward's greatest takes of all time, has proven 645 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 1: to be kind of right. Rubs a lot of people 646 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: the wrong way. Sam Donald's kind of the other right. 647 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 1: Sam Donald's well liked people, a lot of friends, coaches 648 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 1: like him. Just he's not that good. He's been pretty terrible. Well, 649 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 1: I will say this and I listen. I I'm not 650 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: banking on this, but Sam Donald has a chance now 651 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 1: to do what Baker has been unable to do, and 652 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 1: it's really resurrect his career. Now. I don't think he's 653 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 1: gonna be a starter. But Ben mcado, who really liked 654 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: him in the spring, if Sam Donald can be healthy 655 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: and just be productive, I think he can just kind 656 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: of save his career moving forward. Because if he looks 657 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 1: like Baker, I think we're looking at both these guys 658 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 1: like next fall somewhere, competing to make a team, are 659 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 1: competing to be like is this guy gonna be our 660 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 1: backup or not? Or you know, if Sam Donald play 661 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 1: what plays well to me, he'll get that Mr Bisky 662 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,760 Speaker 1: kind of treatment. Hey here's four or five million dollars, 663 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 1: kind of be a bridge starter. Depending on a rookie, 664 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:31,960 Speaker 1: you might be the backup, but whatever, but you're on 665 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 1: a team. I don't think Baker is a lot to 666 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: be on a team, as crazy as that sounds, in 667 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 1: two thousand three, it went that bad the last a 668 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 1: couple of years. And you know it's not exactly Mr 669 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:46,239 Speaker 1: Lovable off the field. A couple of things, Well, we 670 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:50,800 Speaker 1: had some owner drama this week. Let's start with Jim Ursay, 671 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,879 Speaker 1: who you know Jim Er? Say you know old Jim 672 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 1: Or says, if you look at a picture of Jim Er, say, 673 00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 1: if you just show your mom or your wife or 674 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 1: someone who doesn't really know who Jim Er say is 675 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 1: and just go how old do you think this man is? 676 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: I will be stunned if they say anything under seventy. 677 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 1: When you google Jimmer say he's actually sixty three. He 678 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: is a weathered, weathered dude. Now is Jim Er say, 679 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,360 Speaker 1: should he be speaking out for the NFL? You know, 680 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,960 Speaker 1: I think we could argue probably not right. It was 681 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,800 Speaker 1: just a couple of years ago that he was pulled 682 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: over with bags of cash and bags of pills. I 683 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 1: think it's fair to say the dude has some issues. 684 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,720 Speaker 1: Now listen, we all do, and I'm not one to judge, 685 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 1: but I do think the message and who the messager 686 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 1: is kind of matters. Like I like my spokesman to 687 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,919 Speaker 1: be a little more clean on and off whatever they're 688 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: dealing with. And i'd say her say, you know, it's 689 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 1: not exactly the guy that I want speaking, But I 690 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:48,800 Speaker 1: don't think sometimes having a guy who probably represents the 691 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,399 Speaker 1: views of others, like a lot of people, when things 692 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,760 Speaker 1: are going well and anyone in a business or whatever 693 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: a team, you're you're winning a business is making money, 694 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 1: like no one really wants to upset the apple card, right, 695 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,960 Speaker 1: you want things to just keep going. So obviously Dan 696 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 1: Snyder is a fucking disaster for the league, like I mean, 697 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 1: an utter train wreck. Do they want him out? Of 698 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 1: course they do. But most of these owners are, you know, 699 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 1: gonna play it pretty close to the vest when it 700 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 1: comes to public comments. None of them are just gonna 701 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,799 Speaker 1: take a huge dump on the guy. Jim Mercy did 702 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 1: not hold back, absolutely destroyed him, saying he should leave, 703 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:26,840 Speaker 1: basically sell the team, get the hell out of our league. 704 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: You know, it's not exactly verbatim what he said, but 705 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 1: it's reading between the lines. That's what the guy said. 706 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 1: And you know, sometimes you need the guy who's might 707 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 1: have some issues to kind of just run his mouth 708 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,279 Speaker 1: because that's what everyone else wants to be said. And 709 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 1: I never put it past these owners. Maybe several guys 710 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,279 Speaker 1: knew that, like Jim might be liable, like she has 711 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,800 Speaker 1: been pretty outspoken the last twelve months, right crushed Carson 712 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,279 Speaker 1: Wentz has talking a bunch of ship about his coach 713 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 1: and GM now just put maybe he doesn't care. And 714 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 1: I think when you saw that, Jerry Jones. So I 715 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,879 Speaker 1: don't think Dan Snyder's necessarily going anywhere. But I said 716 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 1: this last week when al Michael said on last Thursday 717 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,839 Speaker 1: Night game that, in his opinion, Dan Sniders should tell 718 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 1: the team like al Michael's just he gave, you know, 719 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 1: he did like a voiceover for Robert Craft's wedding. So 720 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,480 Speaker 1: al Michael speaks for the owners. Al Michael's works for 721 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,719 Speaker 1: the league. I know al Michael's technically gets a check 722 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:26,279 Speaker 1: from Amazon, but al Michael's is an NFL employee. So 723 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 1: when al Michael said that he was speaking for the league, 724 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,399 Speaker 1: when Jim Er say who again, I'd say that most 725 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,440 Speaker 1: of us feels like a little off the Rocker owner, 726 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,319 Speaker 1: He's speaking for a lot of people. And then there's 727 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones and Robert Craft who are in business together 728 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,840 Speaker 1: with company called Legends. They basically do the catering and 729 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 1: help you set up venues, right. They did the Raider Stadium, 730 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 1: they did the forty Niner Stadium, and it's very successful company. 731 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 1: And Robert Craft is an investor with Jerry Jones. I 732 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,759 Speaker 1: think Jerry Jones technically like the head acho, but Crafts financially, 733 00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,319 Speaker 1: you know, invested into it. And clearly they are, you know, 734 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 1: two of, if not the two most prominent owners in 735 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 1: the NFL, and at these owners meetings, I think you 736 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 1: talked about a lot of different things. And one of 737 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 1: the things on the agenda, I mean I didn't know 738 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 1: this until the story came out, was Robert South, Robert 739 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 1: good Roger Goodell's salary. And it came out, Roger, you know, 740 00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 1: this is pretty good for the NFL. Rogers made a 741 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,879 Speaker 1: hundred twenty eight million dollars the last couple of years. 742 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 1: Makes a ton of money. You know, it's averaging shit. 743 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 1: I mean almost sixty five million dollars a year. Business 744 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 1: is good for Roger, and I bess, I guess just 745 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,959 Speaker 1: to keep it rolling, like to not change anything. The 746 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,240 Speaker 1: the NFL owners voted on it and it was thirty 747 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,279 Speaker 1: one to one to just keep going as is, keep 748 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:48,760 Speaker 1: paying Roger a premium. And the one no nay vote 749 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 1: was Jerry. And Jerry is not happy with Roger Goodell's 750 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,239 Speaker 1: uh compensation. He I guess has some issues with the 751 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 1: bonus money and him and Robert Kraft got into a 752 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,400 Speaker 1: yelling match and basically j Jones, as it was reported 753 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:05,879 Speaker 1: by Seth Wickershamp, he said, don't funk with me, and 754 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 1: I think this is the problem, Like should Roger Goodell. 755 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 1: You know, I hear a lot of people say, well, CEOs, 756 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 1: the CEO Wells far Ago or the CEO of Google, 757 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:19,040 Speaker 1: or I think a CEO of those companies, even with 758 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 1: quote unquote the public structure of a board of directors 759 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 1: has a lot more influence on their company than Roger 760 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,400 Speaker 1: ultimately does for the NFL. So, if you wanted to 761 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,319 Speaker 1: argue this Roger really needed making sixty five million dollars 762 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 1: a year, could he make thirty? You know, given his role, 763 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,280 Speaker 1: obviously it's not easy. He takes a bunch of arrows 764 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 1: for the owners. But is he really doing as much 765 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 1: as some of these CEO's. Probably not. But when everyone 766 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 1: is making this much money, and since he's been in charge, 767 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,800 Speaker 1: money hasn't just flowed, it keeps like quadrupling. These guys 768 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,760 Speaker 1: went from really rich to being some of the richest 769 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,600 Speaker 1: people in America. Some of them really are massive yachts. 770 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 1: I mean, these guys are never lived higher on the 771 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:06,360 Speaker 1: Hawk and it's why so many of them, Like listen, 772 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 1: just am I really going to argue over what ultimately 773 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,400 Speaker 1: amounts to two million dollars per team? If I'm just 774 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,880 Speaker 1: some random owner, that's the equivalent of like me worrying 775 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 1: about the water bottles I sell at my stadium, right, 776 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,839 Speaker 1: or the or the branded socks. I mean, it's two 777 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,319 Speaker 1: million dollars to some of these teams. Is not even 778 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,839 Speaker 1: a line item. It's money you and me would have 779 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,920 Speaker 1: in our center console. And I think, when you really 780 00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 1: dive deep into it, does Jerry really care that much? 781 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 1: I'd say no. I mean, Jerry's a businessman who worries 782 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,919 Speaker 1: about the big picture ship. What I think this goes 783 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 1: back to this Zeke Elliott suspension, and what's weird is 784 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:51,000 Speaker 1: Robert Kraft, who's Rogers like biggest proponent, has obviously run 785 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,719 Speaker 1: into some issues with Roger. His quarterback was suspended years 786 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,600 Speaker 1: ago for something kind of stupid. His head coach has 787 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,040 Speaker 1: been under scrutiny several times, and ultimately he is able 788 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:05,279 Speaker 1: to separate the football aspect, in which Roger controls the discipline, 789 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,920 Speaker 1: and then the money aspect, which Robert Craft has rich 790 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,759 Speaker 1: guy before he owned the Patriots. Since Roger Goodell took over, 791 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,320 Speaker 1: Robert Craft is one of the more famous rich guys 792 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 1: in America. Because of the NFL and Jerry Jones, to 793 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,680 Speaker 1: me can't get over the Zeke's suspension, which even I 794 00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,759 Speaker 1: thought at the time was pretty crazy, and like I 795 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 1: I didn't understand how they could do that. But it's 796 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,600 Speaker 1: like let bygones bygones. Eventually you gotta move on, Jerry, 797 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 1: because one, you're not winning this fight, like clearly the 798 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,759 Speaker 1: other owners are not on your side, and to like, 799 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,160 Speaker 1: what is the point of this battle? It's never gonna 800 00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,960 Speaker 1: go away. So even if he's fifteen twenty million dollars 801 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:49,719 Speaker 1: quote unquote overpaid, which again he might be right. This 802 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,640 Speaker 1: and this all gets back to me, is I've never 803 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:56,439 Speaker 1: known I mean, I've met Jeffrey Louie, I've never even 804 00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,800 Speaker 1: talked to Jed York, I've met Mark Davis. Like, I 805 00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 1: don't know any one this worth billions of dollars. But 806 00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:05,560 Speaker 1: I've known in you know, growing up, some of my friends, grandparents, 807 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:07,800 Speaker 1: and just as I've gotten older, some people worth millions 808 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,880 Speaker 1: of dollars. And I would imagine several people listening, we 809 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 1: all know one or two or sometimes more a ton 810 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 1: of rich people. Whatever I would say, the older you get. 811 00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,440 Speaker 1: And again this there's a big difference between worth like 812 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:24,000 Speaker 1: having a business worth thirty forty hundred million dollars and 813 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:28,480 Speaker 1: owning a team worth billions of dollars and being really famous. 814 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,400 Speaker 1: There are a lot of people worth fifty to a 815 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars that don't, you know, quote unquote not 816 00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,720 Speaker 1: small business, medium sized business, then no one could point 817 00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,960 Speaker 1: out of a lineup. So the the element of these 818 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,280 Speaker 1: guys are super rich and super famous as a whole 819 00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 1: other element that's not comparable to even normal rich people. 820 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:50,320 Speaker 1: But I know most people with some money. The older 821 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,440 Speaker 1: you get, you know, the less willing you are to 822 00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 1: just back down from stupid things, even if your son 823 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,920 Speaker 1: and your confidence close to you in your internal business 824 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,320 Speaker 1: or telling you this isn't worth a fight, like Jerry 825 00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 1: ain't gonna change, just like Jim Mercy. Do you think 826 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,399 Speaker 1: Jim Mercy actually gives a ship at this point? Not one? 827 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,160 Speaker 1: Just like a lot of owners. I bet a lot 828 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,880 Speaker 1: of owners are close to maybe even thinking like Jerry 829 00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,600 Speaker 1: or thinking like Jim Mercy. There's like, you know, I 830 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,399 Speaker 1: don't want the scrutiny. I don't want to even get 831 00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,479 Speaker 1: asked about this, so I'm not gonna say anything, even 832 00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 1: though I believe it. But you get enough crazy old guys, 833 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,120 Speaker 1: and that's what Jerry is, who just turned eighty years 834 00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:31,839 Speaker 1: old like he ain't done fighting, Like I think this's 835 00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,160 Speaker 1: gonna be an issue every single time the owners meet up. 836 00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:39,760 Speaker 1: This is gonna be an issue. Who's gonna lose back 837 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,000 Speaker 1: at it again with my main man. We got his 838 00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 1: updated numbers. Stucky is fourteen and nine on the season 839 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,280 Speaker 1: looking at this week's late he is not fading the Titans. 840 00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:55,359 Speaker 1: Uh not on the board. But you know I did. 841 00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,799 Speaker 1: I did tease. I tease the cult, So in a way, 842 00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:01,520 Speaker 1: I'm fading the Titans. Uh. And if it got to three, 843 00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,080 Speaker 1: I would, but uh, it's not going to Its sounded 844 00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 1: too now. I mean maybe it will, but I don't 845 00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,680 Speaker 1: think it will. So yeah, we won't have to hear 846 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 1: from the lovely Titans fans and uh yeah a lot 847 00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,360 Speaker 1: of good friends by the way, or who are Titans fans, 848 00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:18,080 Speaker 1: and uh, I won't have to hear from them. And 849 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:20,200 Speaker 1: I would say that the number one thing I've learned 850 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:21,640 Speaker 1: from you in the last year and a half is 851 00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,600 Speaker 1: that is the is the Tomlins stat And god damn 852 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,719 Speaker 1: did he come through last week? Uh even money Like now, 853 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,399 Speaker 1: we could argue that Brady's jet setting and flying around 854 00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,680 Speaker 1: with with Robert and friends, but it wins a win. 855 00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:38,400 Speaker 1: Uh covered pretty easily. Uh so you can find stucky. 856 00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,319 Speaker 1: I did not see them winning out right with all 857 00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:44,160 Speaker 1: their backup nights and uh, but that's what you get sometimes, 858 00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:46,880 Speaker 1: especially with the tom in the Tomlin spot now the 859 00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,759 Speaker 1: defensive depending on who plays for Pittsburgh. And you see 860 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:53,040 Speaker 1: this in a lot of sports and n b A basketball, 861 00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,200 Speaker 1: Like when there's a ton of guys out in a 862 00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,960 Speaker 1: good spot at home, everyone really just plays way above 863 00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,840 Speaker 1: their head and then probably come back to reality the 864 00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,319 Speaker 1: next week. But yeah, that it all came together for 865 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,840 Speaker 1: their and a shocking win for I think the Titans 866 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:10,960 Speaker 1: have a little you know, well not Titans necessarily, but 867 00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:14,160 Speaker 1: Rabel I think has a lot of similarities to Tomlin. 868 00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,200 Speaker 1: I think we've talked about it. His numbers kind of 869 00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:19,760 Speaker 1: similar right as like as a dog and guys missing 870 00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:21,600 Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, the Titans gonna suck, and then 871 00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,919 Speaker 1: all of a sudden you look up Sunday morning, they're 872 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:28,640 Speaker 1: up fourteen nothing. You're like, that's just classic variable, classic Tomlin. Yeah, 873 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,799 Speaker 1: Rabel awesome as an underdog and for what it's where 874 00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:35,680 Speaker 1: Titans coming off of a bye Vrabel four and oh 875 00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,520 Speaker 1: against the spread end straight up after a bye sign 876 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,880 Speaker 1: of a good coach, like you know you're John Harball's 877 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,040 Speaker 1: and Belichick's always got off of a bye, covering by 878 00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,160 Speaker 1: two touchdowns on average per game. So Rabel has been 879 00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,120 Speaker 1: been very strong off the bye, always good as a 880 00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:54,719 Speaker 1: dog and the number the most profitable quarterback as an 881 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,160 Speaker 1: underdog for what it's worth over the past twenty years. 882 00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,239 Speaker 1: Jimmy g who is an underdog this week at home 883 00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:05,239 Speaker 1: against the Chiefs and Bosa Trent Williams all on the 884 00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:08,839 Speaker 1: comeback train. We'll see who plays for the fort because 885 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:10,000 Speaker 1: early in the week it was like, are they gonna 886 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,440 Speaker 1: be without their two tackles and like eight defensive starters, 887 00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,440 Speaker 1: you're close to the four downs they have? Is it 888 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,279 Speaker 1: just bad luck? Every year? Do they need to hire 889 00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:19,879 Speaker 1: a new training like a new strength and training guy, 890 00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,160 Speaker 1: Like it's every year. It's in saying that they actually 891 00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:28,920 Speaker 1: in after Shanny's second year, they fired everybody trainers, uh, doctors, 892 00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:33,200 Speaker 1: strength staff and they created this huge unbrell I mean, bro, 893 00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:38,040 Speaker 1: Stanford is less than ten minute drive from where they practice. 894 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,080 Speaker 1: You know you think like medical U c l A. Stanford, 895 00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:45,040 Speaker 1: John Hopkins, like it doesn't give you better? I don't know, man, 896 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:48,520 Speaker 1: it's it's crazy and it just will not stop. Now. 897 00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,960 Speaker 1: Part of it is like they do draft and sign 898 00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:55,560 Speaker 1: a lot of former early hurt guys, and if you're 899 00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,640 Speaker 1: gonna play for the Niners, you basically have to play 900 00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,839 Speaker 1: like it's two and you just crushed people. So they 901 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:02,880 Speaker 1: play a physical style and they play injured guys. But 902 00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:06,160 Speaker 1: it's at this point in time, it's it's borderline laughable. 903 00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:10,319 Speaker 1: Every game they're losing multiple guys. But if they get trained, well, yeah, 904 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,680 Speaker 1: and especially the secondary too, because like, yeah, I get 905 00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:15,160 Speaker 1: that with the interior guys, and but that every year 906 00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:18,719 Speaker 1: it's like all their corners are hurt and um yeah, 907 00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,720 Speaker 1: it's crazy. So yeah, if they can ever get really healthy, 908 00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,680 Speaker 1: they're they're a real threat to win the Super Bowl 909 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,200 Speaker 1: this year. So maybe maybe it's good that they're they're 910 00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:30,840 Speaker 1: having their injury locked early this year, but uh notefully 911 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:34,560 Speaker 1: it dies down forty. People always go like Shanahan's drafted 912 00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:36,680 Speaker 1: like four running backs the last two years and like 913 00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,600 Speaker 1: seven corners, Like what, well, it's like they're all gonna 914 00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:43,560 Speaker 1: drop anyway. You're gonna need reinforcements. Uh. And I think 915 00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,440 Speaker 1: the one thing you see like with them and the 916 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:50,240 Speaker 1: Rams obviously they traded some ones for for trade, but overall, 917 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:51,680 Speaker 1: like they've had a lot of picks in the last 918 00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:56,360 Speaker 1: several years, you can't like you might not need ones 919 00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:59,759 Speaker 1: if you're winning, you know, if you're drafting twenty two 920 00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:03,040 Speaker 1: to you know, twenty nine, but you do need second 921 00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:06,160 Speaker 1: third like you do need reinforcements in this sport. And 922 00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,400 Speaker 1: to me, the Rams are just running out of players 923 00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:11,040 Speaker 1: like that. They they're the drop off for them is 924 00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,600 Speaker 1: just dramatically when you just look at teams like other 925 00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,279 Speaker 1: good teams the Ravens now the Chiefs, and you know, 926 00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,680 Speaker 1: they just have backup players who are serviceable, and you 927 00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:22,120 Speaker 1: can't have backup players who are borderlined like should be 928 00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,319 Speaker 1: playing for the Lions when you're trying to compete for 929 00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:27,640 Speaker 1: Super Bowls every year. Right, Yeah, Rams have no depth. 930 00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,279 Speaker 1: That is probably their biggest weakness. And if you look 931 00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:32,839 Speaker 1: back at their Super O run by the way, they 932 00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:34,440 Speaker 1: got pretty fortunate. You know, they had up playing the 933 00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:37,160 Speaker 1: Bengals the forty nine drop a pick. But probably the 934 00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,719 Speaker 1: luckiest thing that happened to them is second half of 935 00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:43,279 Speaker 1: the year, all through the playoffs, no injuries. They were 936 00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:47,160 Speaker 1: healthy what it mattered the most, and they probably need 937 00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:49,400 Speaker 1: health more than any other team in the NFL. They 938 00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,800 Speaker 1: are very top heavy, star driven. It's like Donald and Cup, 939 00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,000 Speaker 1: and then there's not a lot of depth there because 940 00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:56,839 Speaker 1: of how they've built their us there. And then you're 941 00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,040 Speaker 1: you're sitting out with the offensive line. I mean, you 942 00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:02,680 Speaker 1: lose you know, your tackle, your star tackle before the year, 943 00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:04,319 Speaker 1: but then you have injuries on the offensive line and 944 00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:09,399 Speaker 1: it just becomes an absolute disaster. Okay, let's uh, let's 945 00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:13,280 Speaker 1: dive into the games. This game is pretty interesting on paper. 946 00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:15,880 Speaker 1: The Jets have won the last couple of weeks. Zac 947 00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,520 Speaker 1: Wilson hasn't done much, but it's pretty clear, like you 948 00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:21,719 Speaker 1: watch the roster, like they got good players, you know, 949 00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:25,000 Speaker 1: I mean defensively, Sauce has been awesome. Bruce Hall, who 950 00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,960 Speaker 1: someone told me in training camp on the Jets on 951 00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,680 Speaker 1: their staff, was like, this fucking kid can play and 952 00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,560 Speaker 1: he's kind of coming on as long as Ac doesn't 953 00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,239 Speaker 1: turn it over. They clearly they have a lot of 954 00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:39,239 Speaker 1: physical players. I didn't know Quinn and Williams had a 955 00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,360 Speaker 1: brother named Quincy, and Quincy is I mean he kicked 956 00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:46,080 Speaker 1: the Packers asked last week. Uh, the Jets are feisty, 957 00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:49,680 Speaker 1: but like it's hard to win every single week when 958 00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:54,320 Speaker 1: you're basically just avoiding the quarterback making a mistake. Denver's 959 00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:57,480 Speaker 1: defense is pretty unreal. I think they've given up six 960 00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:01,960 Speaker 1: total touchdowns, like they all they have. Then what's crazy 961 00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:05,640 Speaker 1: is everyone in the last like five years since Russell 962 00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:07,160 Speaker 1: kind of became a star. I was like, God, if 963 00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,319 Speaker 1: his defense was as sweet as it used to be, 964 00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,400 Speaker 1: they would be unbeatable. And now he does have a 965 00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:14,440 Speaker 1: sweet defense again, and he's and him in the offense sucked. 966 00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:19,239 Speaker 1: But like this game is at Denver, I would say, 967 00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,040 Speaker 1: you know, you lose this game, ship, I mean, my 968 00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:26,239 Speaker 1: season is just a rap, like you're just done. This 969 00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:28,680 Speaker 1: to me is just a kitchen sink game for Denver 970 00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:31,920 Speaker 1: minus one. If I would have told you at Denver 971 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,680 Speaker 1: this game, you know, September one, the line would have 972 00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:38,600 Speaker 1: probably been like seven, right, So I would take Denver 973 00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:41,759 Speaker 1: minus one, how about you? Yeah? I love Denver here. 974 00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:44,080 Speaker 1: By the way, I was president of the Sauce Gardner 975 00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:47,520 Speaker 1: fan club in college and thought, whoever got him? And 976 00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:50,760 Speaker 1: I love the Jets draft. But he went eleven hundred 977 00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:55,840 Speaker 1: snaps in college, didn't allow a touchdown, nine interceptions in 978 00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:59,560 Speaker 1: a gainst Alabama. When they played Alabama, Jamison Williams when 979 00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:01,120 Speaker 1: he was matched up with him, they barely threw to him. 980 00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,480 Speaker 1: He was tart. He was one catch for negative two yards. Um, 981 00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:06,480 Speaker 1: kid's going to be an approach to me, the only 982 00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:10,560 Speaker 1: non to me, that's a classic. Like, even though Cincinnati 983 00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:13,160 Speaker 1: was clearly good, if he had been at Alabama, L 984 00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:15,640 Speaker 1: s U or Georgia, no chance, the guy from L 985 00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:17,960 Speaker 1: s U who didn't do anything the last two years, 986 00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,560 Speaker 1: goes above him. It's just not like he he's the 987 00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:25,000 Speaker 1: third pick, right, he just goes to the Texans. Yeah, 988 00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:27,319 Speaker 1: now he was. He's that good. But yeah, I like 989 00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,160 Speaker 1: what the Jets are building, but they don't they still 990 00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:32,360 Speaker 1: don't have a quarterback. Um, they and look, yeah, this 991 00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:34,880 Speaker 1: is the lookout line for this game was like minus 992 00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:36,520 Speaker 1: seven and a half. And if you look the Broncos 993 00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,400 Speaker 1: covered last week, it's not like they didn't live up 994 00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:41,640 Speaker 1: to expectations. They could have easily won that game. They 995 00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:44,319 Speaker 1: had about a hundred and sixty hearts of penalties. Uh, 996 00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:46,880 Speaker 1: they muffed a punt late and they still could You know, 997 00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:48,560 Speaker 1: they had a chance to beat the Chargers on the road, 998 00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:50,960 Speaker 1: and you forget that, you know they did still beat 999 00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:54,200 Speaker 1: the forty Niners. Why because their defense. Arguably they're right 1000 00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,000 Speaker 1: up there with the forty Niners, um and the Bills 1001 00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,399 Speaker 1: for maybe the best defense in the NFL. I mean, 1002 00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:04,160 Speaker 1: Josie Jewel didn't even play. You have Alex Singleton in 1003 00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:07,080 Speaker 1: there might be better. It's twenty one tackles last week. 1004 00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,360 Speaker 1: But you got certain who basically just takes out of 1005 00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:12,080 Speaker 1: the field out, just completely out. Yeah, he's the best 1006 00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,360 Speaker 1: quarter in the NFL. Uh. And then you know Justin 1007 00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:16,120 Speaker 1: Simmons is back one of the best safeties in NFL. 1008 00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:19,160 Speaker 1: This defense is depth. It's really really, really good. You're 1009 00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:22,359 Speaker 1: no one's ever gonna blow this team out. And Zack 1010 00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:24,880 Speaker 1: Wilson is not the guy. Like if the Jets can 1011 00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:27,239 Speaker 1: just find a quarterback, I mean, last week they won 1012 00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:30,520 Speaker 1: at Lambeau, Zach wilsn't through for a hundred yards. He 1013 00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:33,320 Speaker 1: had a negative point for e p A per play. 1014 00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,960 Speaker 1: The only guy worse was p J. Walker. That's it. 1015 00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:40,360 Speaker 1: And if you go back since through today, seventy quarterbacks 1016 00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:43,520 Speaker 1: with at least seventy five snaps, the three worst quarterbacks 1017 00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,920 Speaker 1: in the NFL e p A per player p J. Walker, 1018 00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:51,399 Speaker 1: Zack Wilson and H Luton, the Jake Luton. The Jet's 1019 00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:53,640 Speaker 1: not good now. And if you look at what the 1020 00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:55,719 Speaker 1: Jets have done, they're just they're they're over bought in 1021 00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:57,839 Speaker 1: the market now, they're over inflated. I mean, they beat 1022 00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:01,040 Speaker 1: Jacobe Preset by one in a miracle back. They traveled 1023 00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,160 Speaker 1: by double digits in the fourth quarter. They beat Mitch 1024 00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:06,239 Speaker 1: Rabinsky and then Kenny pick It in his debut in 1025 00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:08,799 Speaker 1: another miracle comeback, pick It through three picks, and they 1026 00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:11,239 Speaker 1: also travel by double digits late needed to touchdown in 1027 00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,400 Speaker 1: the final thirty seconds again as they did against the Browns. 1028 00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:16,799 Speaker 1: And you know, so then you look who else did 1029 00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:20,800 Speaker 1: they beat um Oh Skylar Thompson making his NFL debut 1030 00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:24,319 Speaker 1: a third string quarterback. They won forty to seventeen. The 1031 00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:27,480 Speaker 1: game was nineteen seventeen and the fourth quarter dead even statistically. 1032 00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:28,960 Speaker 1: And then if you look at the Packers game, which 1033 00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:32,839 Speaker 1: really got everyone on this Jets wagon, did yards were 1034 00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:34,880 Speaker 1: to seventy eight to two seventy eight. They scored two 1035 00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:38,520 Speaker 1: offensive touchdowns on trick plays, a punt block touchdown, they 1036 00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,320 Speaker 1: blocked a field goal. The Packers are also a mess, 1037 00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,880 Speaker 1: just like we've seen from the Browns and the Steelers 1038 00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:45,600 Speaker 1: haven't been good, so like you look at the Jets resume, 1039 00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:47,520 Speaker 1: it's a bunch of backup quarterbacks, you know, and then 1040 00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:49,279 Speaker 1: they got blown out by the Bengals, blown out by 1041 00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:54,000 Speaker 1: the Ravens. So you just cannot trust Zach Wilson on 1042 00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:56,440 Speaker 1: the road here against this defense under pressure, which is 1043 00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,520 Speaker 1: gonna be under pressure a lot. Against Denver he is 1044 00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:06,520 Speaker 1: four of twenty three forty nine yards, zero touchdowns, two interceptions. Horrendous. 1045 00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:08,839 Speaker 1: So I don't care if Russell Wilson plays. I might 1046 00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,680 Speaker 1: even prefer Brent Ripping the play, who, by the way, 1047 00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:13,400 Speaker 1: beat the Jets two years ago, and the start it 1048 00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:15,080 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Russell wis has been doing nothing, so I 1049 00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:17,759 Speaker 1: don't care if he doesn't start or or you know, 1050 00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:20,560 Speaker 1: or does And I just said, you have to take 1051 00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:23,080 Speaker 1: the Broncos here at minus one at home with that 1052 00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:26,480 Speaker 1: defense against one of the worst quarterbacks in the league. 1053 00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:28,400 Speaker 1: Another thing the Jets did least, because they just relied 1054 00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:30,080 Speaker 1: Priest Hall is gonna be a really good running story. 1055 00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:33,080 Speaker 1: They relied on their running game against the Packers, who 1056 00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:35,760 Speaker 1: are now the thirty second ranked rush defense in the NFL. 1057 00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:37,720 Speaker 1: Not gonna be able to do that here against Denver. 1058 00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:40,440 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think Denver finds a way to win 1059 00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:43,279 Speaker 1: this game. Uh, you know, similar to you know what 1060 00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:45,440 Speaker 1: they've done in a few other ugly games this year. 1061 00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,400 Speaker 1: But that defense is real. So it's two limited quarterbacks, 1062 00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:53,920 Speaker 1: two limited offenses. I'll take the better defense at home 1063 00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:56,480 Speaker 1: in uh, you know, like you said, a Kitchen State game. 1064 00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:58,080 Speaker 1: So yeah, I'll take the Broncs, you know, in the 1065 00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:00,160 Speaker 1: results obviously this weekend, what do you think the look 1066 00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:04,239 Speaker 1: aheadline would be if you had a guess on Patriots 1067 00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,600 Speaker 1: at Jets? Because if it's if the Patriots are an 1068 00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:09,360 Speaker 1: underdog or even a pick them, I might put like 1069 00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:13,200 Speaker 1: mortgage payment on that thing here in a week. Yeah, 1070 00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:16,240 Speaker 1: well it depends that that's gonna depend on whose chords 1071 00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:20,359 Speaker 1: Monday they played. Monday Night. They played Monday Night, And 1072 00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:23,040 Speaker 1: I love I said, I was president of the Sauce Gardener. 1073 00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:26,920 Speaker 1: I was president of Bailey Zappy Zappy hour um from 1074 00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:30,799 Speaker 1: Houston Baptist to Western Kentucky. So I actually love love 1075 00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,000 Speaker 1: Bailey Zappy. I don't know if he's gonna start this week, 1076 00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,680 Speaker 1: but he's been better than Mac Jones so far. Obviously, 1077 00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:42,200 Speaker 1: small sample size, I would assume Patriots one to Um, 1078 00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:43,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if it gets it will get the 1079 00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:45,440 Speaker 1: three if the Patriots look really good and the Jets lose. 1080 00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:48,840 Speaker 1: Potentially depends on the quarterback situation, but I would assume 1081 00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,879 Speaker 1: you have Patriots small favorite. Okay, let's uh, let's get 1082 00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:56,120 Speaker 1: to Jacksonville hosting the Giants, and obviously the Giants I 1083 00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:58,200 Speaker 1: don't want to say it's a miracle win because they've 1084 00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:01,960 Speaker 1: kept games close, but Lamar just had one of his 1085 00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:05,600 Speaker 1: throwback like, what are you doing on that interception? I 1086 00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:08,120 Speaker 1: mean that was I know you're a Ravens guy, that 1087 00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:13,360 Speaker 1: that was an abomination. That that was Zack Wilson level stuff. Uh. 1088 00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:16,040 Speaker 1: But like the Giants are just feisty. They just stay 1089 00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:18,120 Speaker 1: in these games. Daniel Jones is not throwing a pick 1090 00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:21,880 Speaker 1: in the last several games. Obviously he was a turnover machine, 1091 00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:25,880 Speaker 1: you know, with the Judge with Joe Judge. So it 1092 00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,759 Speaker 1: just can you just bank on that every single week? 1093 00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:31,520 Speaker 1: Jacksonville's I would say, has come back to earth a 1094 00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:35,680 Speaker 1: little bit. But are the Giants eventually just gonna have 1095 00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:38,320 Speaker 1: a dud game? Like it's just hard to keep playing 1096 00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:41,839 Speaker 1: ugly ugly ugly, you know, be right in it rely 1097 00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:44,399 Speaker 1: on to turnover late and it's it's worked for him, 1098 00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:47,640 Speaker 1: but this would probably be a stay away from me, 1099 00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:50,680 Speaker 1: how about you? Yeah, I like the Jackson. I think 1100 00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:52,600 Speaker 1: it's time to buy the Jacks. They lost three straight 1101 00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:55,200 Speaker 1: and if you look, you know, they lost by eight 1102 00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:58,120 Speaker 1: and Philly in a month soon and they lost the 1103 00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,759 Speaker 1: turnover battle five nothing in that game. You know. Then 1104 00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:02,600 Speaker 1: they lost at home to the Texans, but they out 1105 00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:05,520 Speaker 1: gained them by two fifty yards. And then last week 1106 00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:08,600 Speaker 1: in Indie, they lose, you know, in the final seconds. 1107 00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:12,040 Speaker 1: First time in NFL history a team has lost with 1108 00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:14,600 Speaker 1: a quarterback that had twenty plus pass attempts, a ninet 1109 00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:18,320 Speaker 1: completion percentage, three plus touchdowns and no interceptions. Hundred three 1110 00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:21,160 Speaker 1: years has never happened. So another very unlucky loss. So 1111 00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,919 Speaker 1: I think, coming back here af three straight losses, it's 1112 00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,400 Speaker 1: time to buy them and then sell the Giants. I 1113 00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:28,840 Speaker 1: mean it's look, all the New York teams are getting 1114 00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:30,160 Speaker 1: a lot of hype, and rightfully so, they haven't been 1115 00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:33,840 Speaker 1: this good in a while. But just similar to the Jets, like, like, 1116 00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:35,680 Speaker 1: let's look at what the Giants have done. They beat 1117 00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:38,440 Speaker 1: the Titans by one, they outscored them eight nothing in 1118 00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:41,600 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. They lost at home to Cooper Rush. 1119 00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:44,240 Speaker 1: They beat the Panthers at home by three, it was 1120 00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:46,240 Speaker 1: tied in the fourth. They had to fifty five yard 1121 00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,880 Speaker 1: field goals. Like we've seen what the Panthers are. Then 1122 00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:51,760 Speaker 1: they beat the Bears at home by one possession um. 1123 00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:53,440 Speaker 1: And then they beat the Packers in London. They were 1124 00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:56,960 Speaker 1: down twenty to ten in the fourth quarter. Again, down seventeen. 1125 00:57:56,960 --> 00:57:58,680 Speaker 1: Nothing credits them for coming back, but what have we 1126 00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:01,280 Speaker 1: seen from the Packers by the way that win looks 1127 00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,280 Speaker 1: doesn't look great. And then they beat the Ravens last week. 1128 00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:06,480 Speaker 1: That's their best win by far, but again down twenty 1129 00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:08,959 Speaker 1: to ten and the fourth and they were out gaining 1130 00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:11,600 Speaker 1: four hundred and six to two hundred and thirty. The 1131 00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:14,880 Speaker 1: Ravens average seven yards per play, the Giants three point nine. 1132 00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:17,760 Speaker 1: You know, So like in the fourth quarter, they've outscored 1133 00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:21,800 Speaker 1: teams I think forty five to ten. And they've won 1134 00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:27,920 Speaker 1: five one possession games against the Bears, Panthers, Titans, the 1135 00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:31,040 Speaker 1: Packers and Ravens. Like it's not you know, they've been 1136 00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:33,320 Speaker 1: tied or trailed in the fourth in all five of 1137 00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:35,959 Speaker 1: those games. And then obviously they lost the Cooper Rush 1138 00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:38,840 Speaker 1: at home. So yeah, from a matchup perspective, Jags D 1139 00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:41,400 Speaker 1: sixth and rush success really good against the run. To 1140 00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:45,400 Speaker 1: Todd Bowl's disciple called wal defensive coordinators, that scheme usually 1141 00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:46,880 Speaker 1: is good against the run. So I think they'll be 1142 00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:49,520 Speaker 1: good here against Barkley. And you mentioned that Jones hasn't 1143 00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:50,960 Speaker 1: turned it over, but if you look at some of 1144 00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:55,240 Speaker 1: the advanced metrics, he has a lot of turnover worthy throws, 1145 00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:58,400 Speaker 1: so I think turnovers are gonna come. And Trevor Lawrence 1146 00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:01,960 Speaker 1: this year has really struggled against over two. He's a 1147 00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:06,440 Speaker 1: fifty percent target on target rate against Cover two. Against 1148 00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:08,760 Speaker 1: every other events Giants played no cover two, it's either 1149 00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:12,560 Speaker 1: usually man and blitzing or Cover three and launch spin 1150 00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:15,120 Speaker 1: okay against the blitz. So yeah, I think that this 1151 00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:17,520 Speaker 1: is the time to buy the Jags. Look, I love 1152 00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:21,200 Speaker 1: the Giants and love what Dabeles doing um and they're 1153 00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:22,880 Speaker 1: gonna be feisty all year, but I think this is 1154 00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:24,360 Speaker 1: a good spot to sell them. I think the Jacks 1155 00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:28,520 Speaker 1: pick up. You think that Giants can make the playoffs? Sure, 1156 00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:30,120 Speaker 1: I mean if if you look at the NFC, because 1157 00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:33,400 Speaker 1: they still got multiple games against Commanders, this would be 1158 00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:35,120 Speaker 1: the type game if they were to win it you 1159 00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:36,880 Speaker 1: get to six and one, you just got so many 1160 00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:39,080 Speaker 1: wins banked in. Now they still gotta play two games 1161 00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:41,920 Speaker 1: against the Eagles, they got another game against Cowboys. But 1162 00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:45,640 Speaker 1: to me, the two Commanders games they got, they gotta 1163 00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:48,080 Speaker 1: go play Seattle, right, So I would assume you probably split. 1164 00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:50,040 Speaker 1: You probably split with the Eagles. Um, Like, I bet 1165 00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:52,200 Speaker 1: the especially Eagles are still ndefeated. They probably lose in 1166 00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:53,920 Speaker 1: New York. But yeah, look look at the n and 1167 00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:55,800 Speaker 1: they and the Eagles game is the last game of 1168 00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:58,320 Speaker 1: the season, So I mean, who knows the Eagles could 1169 00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:01,560 Speaker 1: have the number one seed clinched. Yep, they could be 1170 01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:03,160 Speaker 1: playing for nothing. That's a good point. Yeah, but if 1171 01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:06,320 Speaker 1: you look like the a f C is is pretty 1172 01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:11,400 Speaker 1: it's pretty superior. Because if you look at the NFC, 1173 01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:13,920 Speaker 1: it's like who do you really trust? And you know 1174 01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:16,760 Speaker 1: in that the NFC East has like three of the 1175 01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:18,720 Speaker 1: best teams in the NFC West, It's like, you know, 1176 01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:20,960 Speaker 1: the Rams right now are messy. Don't trust the Seahawks 1177 01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:23,760 Speaker 1: or Cardinals. The forty Niners have to get healthy. In 1178 01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:27,479 Speaker 1: the North, it's like the Vikings, like are they really 1179 01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:29,920 Speaker 1: that they' They're probably gonna make the playoffs. The Packers 1180 01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:33,520 Speaker 1: are a mess, and then the NFC South it's basically 1181 01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:36,440 Speaker 1: just the Bucks. So like there's seven spots here. Giants 1182 01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:38,960 Speaker 1: are certainly I would I would favor them to make 1183 01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:41,760 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Let's talk about a South team because I 1184 01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:47,200 Speaker 1: watching Atlanta closely last week. They're built a little probably 1185 01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:50,120 Speaker 1: like the early Ravens were, you know, a college team 1186 01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:52,400 Speaker 1: that runs the ball lot. If they can get a lead, 1187 01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:55,200 Speaker 1: they can just slam the ball, right. They got a 1188 01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:58,560 Speaker 1: couple of running backs that fucking break tackles, that fall forward. 1189 01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:02,360 Speaker 1: They are just pretty productive. And one thing is pretty 1190 01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:05,920 Speaker 1: clear going back to his Titans days that Arthur Smith 1191 01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:07,920 Speaker 1: kind of has some Kyle Shanahan and him, Like the 1192 01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:10,240 Speaker 1: guy loves to run the football and he's good at 1193 01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:14,600 Speaker 1: scheming the run. But like, they're not necessarily built. I mean, 1194 01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:16,480 Speaker 1: they're just not going to be, especially now they've got 1195 01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:21,160 Speaker 1: corner injuries to to come back and definitely to stop 1196 01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:23,480 Speaker 1: teams that are humming passing the ball. Like watching the 1197 01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:25,600 Speaker 1: Bengal game, it feels like Brules kind of getting a 1198 01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:29,360 Speaker 1: swag back. Obviously Jamaar it just is a stud Higgins 1199 01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:32,640 Speaker 1: a baller. Uh, you know, No, one likes to coach, 1200 01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:36,080 Speaker 1: but they do just have some star power on offense. 1201 01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:38,760 Speaker 1: And it's just this feels like the game on the 1202 01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:41,480 Speaker 1: road that they're more likely to be downten nothing than 1203 01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:44,440 Speaker 1: upten nothing, and I just I don't trust him now. 1204 01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:47,440 Speaker 1: Overall though, like to me, Atlanta is gonna be a 1205 01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:49,800 Speaker 1: feisty team all year long, that they're a team to 1206 01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:52,000 Speaker 1: keep an eye on and just on the right matchup 1207 01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:54,880 Speaker 1: with maybe less of a quarterback as an underdog to 1208 01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,720 Speaker 1: probably good value some weeks, but I don't love this 1209 01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:02,400 Speaker 1: matchup for them. Acts in Sinnati. Yeah, I like the 1210 01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:05,200 Speaker 1: Bengals here amin of six. Uh this Before the year this, 1211 01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:07,880 Speaker 1: this line would have been like eleven. Look at line 1212 01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:09,880 Speaker 1: was like seven and a half eight and I think 1213 01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:11,920 Speaker 1: under a touchdown you have to play the Bengals here. Again, 1214 01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:13,840 Speaker 1: this is similar to the Giants and Jets. Like the 1215 01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:16,920 Speaker 1: Falcons last week. It could impress win on paper, like 1216 01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:18,680 Speaker 1: if you just look at the result in who they beat, 1217 01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:20,840 Speaker 1: but I didn't take much from it. You know, they 1218 01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:23,560 Speaker 1: beat the forty niners who and they were out gained 1219 01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:26,120 Speaker 1: by the forty niners. They you know, the yards for play, 1220 01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:28,560 Speaker 1: the battle they lost the four Niners were down like 1221 01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:33,760 Speaker 1: a million defensive starters, um, and they got they got 1222 01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:39,320 Speaker 1: a touchdowndown, Yeah, defensive touchdown. And the last six drives 1223 01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:42,520 Speaker 1: that San Francisco had, four of them ended in Falcon's 1224 01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:46,680 Speaker 1: territory zero points. Um. So it's a really flukey result there. 1225 01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:48,600 Speaker 1: And if you look at what they've done and I've 1226 01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:50,920 Speaker 1: been I haven't faded there six and oh against the spread. 1227 01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:54,080 Speaker 1: But like, all right, they want a coin flip against 1228 01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:56,640 Speaker 1: the Box. Excuse me, the Saints, they want a coin 1229 01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:58,960 Speaker 1: flip against the Seahawks. And they came back to win, 1230 01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:01,600 Speaker 1: a coin flip against Browns that came back to win, 1231 01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:03,960 Speaker 1: probably should have lost. And then you know they did 1232 01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:05,680 Speaker 1: cover against the Rams, but they were not twenty eight 1233 01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:08,439 Speaker 1: to three against the Rams. They did cover against the Bucks. 1234 01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:11,000 Speaker 1: They're dont twenty one nothing against the Bucks. And then 1235 01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:13,080 Speaker 1: the Bucks secondary had all their corners go out and 1236 01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:16,240 Speaker 1: they the Rams come back was a punt block touchdown 1237 01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:21,480 Speaker 1: and yeah, and so they've been quite fortunate in some 1238 01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:25,000 Speaker 1: of these covers and uh, look look, I mean they 1239 01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:27,480 Speaker 1: have now they have injuries in the secondary. You have 1240 01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:29,400 Speaker 1: Casey Hayward who went on I R. He's been playing 1241 01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:31,760 Speaker 1: really well. And you know, even Terrell and Oliver got 1242 01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:35,400 Speaker 1: nicked up last week. That's bad news against since obviously, 1243 01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:39,439 Speaker 1: especially when you cannot get pressure. Falcons are dead last 1244 01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:42,640 Speaker 1: in the NFL and Harry rate pressure rate and adjusted 1245 01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:45,880 Speaker 1: zath great. So you don't your corners, you don't have 1246 01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:48,280 Speaker 1: a full deck in the secondary, and you get zero 1247 01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:52,040 Speaker 1: pressure against Burrow. Now Higgins is healthy since he can 1248 01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:54,640 Speaker 1: spread you out. And yeah, it seen that offensive line 1249 01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:57,280 Speaker 1: is coming together Burrow. I agree, it's starting to get 1250 01:03:57,280 --> 01:03:58,960 Speaker 1: a swagger back. And last week against the Saints, I 1251 01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:01,160 Speaker 1: like some of the play calling they were putting him in, 1252 01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:04,640 Speaker 1: you know, early downs, they were throwing it shotgun. And 1253 01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:07,080 Speaker 1: even if Zach Tayllard goes back to his roots and 1254 01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:09,480 Speaker 1: just says I'll be handed to mixing the Falcons Runday 1255 01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:12,080 Speaker 1: is one of the worst in the NFL. So yeah, 1256 01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:16,080 Speaker 1: I think that this sets up for Bengals win by 1257 01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:20,160 Speaker 1: seven plus at home. And yeah, I mean, look, the 1258 01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:22,000 Speaker 1: Falcons are six and against the spread, but the Bengals 1259 01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:23,880 Speaker 1: always they just find ways to cover their twelve and 1260 01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:25,680 Speaker 1: two against the spread. The last four team, But I 1261 01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:28,680 Speaker 1: just think from a matchup perspective, just doesn't set up 1262 01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:31,280 Speaker 1: well for Atlanta. I think it's time to fade them. 1263 01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:35,160 Speaker 1: What about odds on the Tennessee volunteers probably gone up 1264 01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:39,880 Speaker 1: a little bit to win the national Championship. I love 1265 01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,560 Speaker 1: the valves. I'm like, you wanna hear a bet I have? 1266 01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:45,080 Speaker 1: That's gonna be. This is the my nightmare scenario. I 1267 01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:49,240 Speaker 1: bet Tennessee fourteen to one to win the division, win 1268 01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:52,280 Speaker 1: the division and so now. But if they lose to 1269 01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:56,720 Speaker 1: Georgia and just have one loss the rest of the year, 1270 01:04:56,920 --> 01:05:01,640 Speaker 1: they probably go to the College Football Playoff and with 1271 01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:04,240 Speaker 1: a chance to win the national championship. And if they win, 1272 01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:06,520 Speaker 1: they could win the National Championship, and then I would lose, 1273 01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:09,000 Speaker 1: but I would lose my fourteen to one division bet. 1274 01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:13,880 Speaker 1: So uh yeah, I will be it's wearing all orange 1275 01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:17,200 Speaker 1: when they play Georgia in Athens in a few weeks. 1276 01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:19,880 Speaker 1: So yeah, the price has probably come down to I 1277 01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:22,440 Speaker 1: haven't checked, but this is probably the wrong time to 1278 01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:25,720 Speaker 1: buy Tennessee. But yeah, they are exciting to watch, and 1279 01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:29,560 Speaker 1: for what it's worth, they didn't play without a first 1280 01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:33,560 Speaker 1: round draft pick at receiver in Cedric Tillman, who we'll 1281 01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:37,000 Speaker 1: be back soon. And this is a guy that is 1282 01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:40,360 Speaker 1: a big time player. Last week. Last year against Georgia 1283 01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:44,480 Speaker 1: historically great defense, he had ten catches for two hundred yards. 1284 01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:47,919 Speaker 1: And against Alabama last year, I think he had eight 1285 01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:50,840 Speaker 1: catches for a hundred and seventy yards. One of the 1286 01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:54,040 Speaker 1: best receivers in the country.
