1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody, how are we doing? 2 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:24,119 Speaker 1: Merry Christmas, Happy Honkah, a great week, and spend some 3 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 1: time with our loved ones, our families, and do a 4 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: couple of podcasts. So I did a big podcast yesterday 5 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: on Saturday Night, reacting to the Saturday night games as 6 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: well as the playoff games in college football. I recorded 7 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: a podcast with Colin after the afternoon games, and I'm 8 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,239 Speaker 1: recording this podcast right now after the Sunday night game. 9 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: Cowboys get a big win twenty six to twenty four. 10 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: What a entertaining football game that was. That was a 11 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,279 Speaker 1: lot of fun. Sign me up for the violence of 12 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: that game every day of the week that was. That 13 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: was sweet. So we'll dive into that game from McCarthy 14 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: to Baker, very very enjoyable Sunday night that I'll be 15 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: honest didn't see coming. We will also hit on some 16 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: other things from around the NFL. Bryce Young, we gotta 17 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: tip our hat to him, Jalen and a concussion in 18 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 1: the game that they ended up losing to the Commies 19 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: with Jaden threw for a bunch of touchdowns five I 20 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: think to be exact, and Kyle Shanahan the forty nine ers. 21 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,479 Speaker 1: I think got more questions than answers right now, that's 22 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 1: for damn sure. But other than that, the game plan 23 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: will be I'll probably do a little podcast for Tuesday 24 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: and then obviously nothing. Christmas might react to the Wednesday games. 25 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: That'll probably be it for a couple of days. So yeah, 26 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: gotta gotta hang out the love ones. Got to spend 27 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: some quality time some QT as they call it, with 28 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: my people.

And for anyone, and I'm included 53 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: in this, this sometimes gets nostalgic about the day and 54 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: age which listen, I don't want anyone to get CTE 55 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: or have a shitty life that played in the NFL 56 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: when they're fifty sixty, seventy years old or any of that. 57 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: But there was something special about watching people just get 58 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: destroyed and knowing like I can't imagine playing this game 59 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: at that level. And then, like any young kid if 60 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: you play high school football, you realize how you get 61 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: nervous the first day you ever put on pads, like 62 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: when you're on JV and you know you get to 63 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: varsity football and you start hitting some guys that are 64 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: going Division one. Maybe some people listen to this if 65 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: you played Division ie let alone in the NFL, that 66 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: there's something about the physicality of the sport that brings 67 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: out kind of your manhood and separates, you know, the 68 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: boys from the men. And there was something special about 69 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: that game that I just witnessed people were getting destroyed. 70 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: That felt like a game that I would have watched, 71 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: you know, my parents' thirty inch TV in nineteen ninety six, 72 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: where you just watch guys every other hit get absolutely 73 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: ran over, and every other big hit you're like, is 74 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: that guy gonna get up? Is that guy okay? Sometimes defenders, 75 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: you know, hurt themselves on the hits, and the level 76 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: of play and effort in that game I just thought 77 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: was awesome. And I'll be honest, like when I saw, 78 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: you know, looking at the schedule like I do getting 79 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: ready for the podcast, either at the start of the 80 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: morning or as the week's going on, You're like, this 81 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: is Sunday night game. Not that I thought like the 82 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: Bucks were just gonna roll and the Cowboys were playing well, 83 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: but it's like, I don't know if this game is 84 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: going to be that great. I thought that was honestly 85 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: one of the more entertaining games you know, of the year. 86 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 1: And sorry started with the Cowboys. I don't know what 87 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: collins Worth and Tarico said because I had the TV 88 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: on mute. We're getting ready to leave tomorrow back home, 89 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: so we're talking about some stuff. Had the game on 90 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: but had had to mute it. And then they showed 91 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: the visual of this is as the Cowboys. When I 92 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: finished with Coward and I went out to the living room, 93 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: it was ten to nothing Cowboys. And then I get 94 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: out there and Cooper Rush is continuing just to throw bombs. 95 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: It's like they look fantastic. I'm like, they can't look 96 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: any better. And then they show which they always show 97 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: Jerry on a Cowboys game, especially in Dallas, and you 98 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 1: got Steven and I think I was his other brother, 99 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: one of the other Jones family sitting next to them, 100 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: and they're just wearing Jerry out. And I don't think 101 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: it's hard to put two and two together if you're 102 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: guessing on what they were talking about, like how good 103 00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: Mike is doing or what are we going to do 104 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: in this situation with him coaching this well? Because at 105 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: eighty two years old, and Jerry mentioned this, and I 106 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: think we all thought he was crazy, and partly because 107 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: he is kind of crazy and he talks a lot, 108 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: and it's it's hard to ever know how much what 109 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: he says. Their substance behind it. They said we're going 110 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: all in, and then clearly it didn't feel like they 111 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: were going all in. But when he said on his 112 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: radio show that Mike could get extended, Mike could be 113 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: the coach here next year, most of us just assumed 114 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: and I was guilty of this, like Mike McCarthy's done, 115 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: especially when Dak goes out for the year. When Dak 116 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 1: goes out for the year with the hamstring injury and 117 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: you see him every game sitting in the uh you know, 118 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: sitting in the box. You go, wait, listen Cooper Rush. 119 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: Their defense has been puture the first half of the season, 120 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: like this seems screwed, how are they gonna win games? 121 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 1: And then Cooper Rush and the offense has looked pretty good, 122 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 1: Like Cooper Rush has made a lot of place, and 123 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: especially tonight in that first half when he is just 124 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: throwing bombs to Ceedee Lamb and those two guys were 125 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: eviscerating the Tampa Bay secondary, Like, I don't know, Jerry. 126 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what else you could ask 127 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: from a coach in this situation. One big difference on defense, 128 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: and I was I was thinking about this watching the game. 129 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: Even if you don't have great defensive personnel on your 130 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: front four, you know, depending on you if you run 131 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: a three four four to three. When you have a 132 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: special pass rusher or just a special player on your front, 133 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: that takes all the energy of an offensive coordinator, the 134 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: offensive line and the blocking scheme. It takes so much 135 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: energy to focus on that guy that it it's kind 136 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: of like a domino effect for the other guys get 137 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: to play better than sometimes they actually are because of 138 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: the guy they're playing next to. And on the Saturday 139 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: game with Chris Jones, they talked about it with him. 140 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: He's like, I'm not having my best statistical year, but 141 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm playing my best football and everyone 142 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: next to me is eating. And you see it with 143 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: all the great players, whether it's Miles Garrett, when Nick 144 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: Bose is playing well, obviously TJ. Watt. Even if you 145 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: have other good players, they play even better because all 146 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: the energy goes to you and their defense since Mike 147 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: has come back, just looks dramatically faster upfront. Obviously he's 148 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: a big part of that as a great pass rusher, 149 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: but the other guys were flying around and crushing Baker 150 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: early in that game, and since he's come back, they 151 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: just look a lot better on defense and tonight the 152 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: secondary Al Harris, who I'm pretty sure is the guy 153 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: when Matt Hasselback in the playoff game against the Packers 154 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: when they won the coin toss and Hasselback goes, we 155 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: want the ball and we're gonna score. Pretty sure that's 156 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: the guy that he threw the pick six to. And 157 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: clearly that's the connection with McCarthy and he's the dB 158 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: coach that defensive backfield. You know, obviously Blands back from 159 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: his injury last year, made a game winning play the 160 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: play Lewis made on the interception, but their physicality, their 161 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 1: you know, Diggs is out for the season with a 162 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: knee injury. Look like Ronnie Lott meets Cam Chancellor back there. 163 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: So if you're Jerry and you're Steven and you're trying 164 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: to figure out what to do, you look around the landscape. 165 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: You go, Mike's really good with offense and quarterbacks, Like 166 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: that's not really debatable. DA's played his best football with 167 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: him calling plays. And then tonight Cooper Rush is twenty 168 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: six of thirty five for basically three hundred yards. Now, 169 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: he could have thrown a pick there late in the game, 170 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 1: got pretty lucky the dude dropped it. But overall, to 171 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: have a backup quarterback look that competent is a reflection 172 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: of the coaching staff and is a reflection of just 173 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: overall coaching in general. So I think that visual showed 174 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: I would be stunned, honestly if they weren't talking about that, 175 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: like this is going pretty well, what are we gonna do? 176 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: Go on a interview? Who are we going to hire? 177 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: That's gonna be better than the situation we're in. Plus, 178 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: the reason that we struggled this year was more of 179 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: a personnel issue than coaching. Now. Is McCarthy perfect, Of 180 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: course not. But I've been pretty impressed this last month 181 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: because I think universally, cowboy fans, just football fans would 182 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: have said six seven games ago, they are completely screwed, 183 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: like this thing could just fall off and become derailed. 184 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: You look around the NFL, you look at some of 185 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: these teams that are dealing with injuries. They just don't 186 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: look the Niners good example. I mean, the Giants are 187 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: the worst case scenario. It's like, what is going on there? 188 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: This team is the opposite. It's like, damn they are playing. 189 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: They are a muff punt screw up by the dude 190 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: that they elevated from the practice squad from winning five 191 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: straight games, and currently they would be instead of seven 192 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: to eight, they would be eight and seven and they 193 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: would be right in position, like god, could they make 194 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: a playoff run? You know? Do they have an opportunity 195 00:10:55,679 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: to get in? So I think that I've been blown away. 196 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: I mean the defense clearly under Zimmer with Micah back, 197 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: has become much better, and I think McCarthy has just 198 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: done a really really good job. That's as hard of 199 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: an effort just in terms of guys playing start to 200 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: finish in a game. Is I remember in a while 201 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: from a team that, I mean, the season's over. They're 202 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: not going like what are we doing? Sunday night football 203 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: lights are on and we approach that game like it 204 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: was winner get into the playoffs. So that was awesome. 205 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: That really was right down to the final play when 206 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 1: Bland stripped that ball away from Irving. So congrats to 207 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 1: the Cowboys because it would have been pretty easy to 208 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: wave the white flag. And I think this is a 209 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: separating factor in the NFL that so many teams. The 210 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: Panthers are a good example, We'll dive into them, like 211 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: every team worth their salt, battles their ass off till 212 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: the bitter end. Whether you're gonna win four games, whether 213 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: you're gonna win nine games, whether you're trying to get 214 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: the number one overall seed. It's what truly makes the 215 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: sports special. And partly because if you don't give full 216 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,439 Speaker 1: effort in this sport at that level, you will get injured, 217 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: you will get hurt. And just fantastic win by the Cowboys. 218 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: I actually think it was a pretty impressive effort by 219 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: the Buccaneers as well. One thing that at this point 220 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: in time, we just have to acknowledge Baker Mayfield's a 221 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: top ten quarterback. Baker Mayfield is a big time player now. 222 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 1: And you look at that twenty eighteen draft. Obviously, Lamar 223 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 1: Jackson's won multiple MVPs and became one of the best players, 224 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 1: I mean in the history of the league as an 225 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: all round quarterback running and passing. Josh Allen might be 226 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: the most talented player we've ever seen at the position. 227 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: Those guys are everything you could possibly dream of as 228 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: first round picks in franchise quarterbacks. This twenty eighteen. Obviously, 229 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: Josh Rosen's long gone out of the league. Sam Darnold's 230 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: career was crazy. He's having a career year. He is 231 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: leading the Minnesota Vikings to the opportunity to get the 232 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 1: number one seed, and it's gonna end up throwing for 233 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: somewhere between thirty five and thirty eight touchdowns. Baker Mayfield, 234 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: we didn't know if last year was I don't know. 235 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: I don't want to say a one year wonder, but like, 236 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: could it get that much better? I just looked. Only 237 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow have more touchdown passes than him. 238 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: And clearly, since you know, I think he's talked about it, 239 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: he lost a little weight. He moves early on in 240 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: his career. He reminded me of Johnny Manziel that he 241 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: thought like what he could do in college, and Johnny 242 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: was much more of a runner, but Baker scrambled around 243 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: a lot at Oklahoma as a playmaker. It's like, you 244 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: got to be really careful the random defensive lineman will 245 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: run your ass down. And I remember it might have 246 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: been Johnny's first start or one of his first games. 247 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: They were playing the Panthers, and he thought it was like, 248 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: you know, playing some team in college, and it was Kekley, 249 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: and he thought he could outrun him to the corner, 250 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: and Luke Keigley caught him like he was a lion 251 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: on the Serengetti in like three steps. Like Johnny, this 252 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: is a different world. And that used to happen to 253 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 1: Baker a lot. He looks dramatically faster. I don't know 254 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: if it's his confidence, but his running ability is a 255 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: legit weapon. And then as a pastor, like he's always 256 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: had an explosive arm, he just now is just a 257 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: really good player, right, I mean deep balls, intermediate balls, 258 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: play making, obviously running and listen, they now have the 259 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: same record as the Atlanta Falcons, and the Atlanta Falcons 260 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: hold the tiebreaker. But do you think Michael Pennix, who 261 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: I thought looked pretty good today, It's one thing playing 262 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: at home against the worst team in the NFL. I mean, 263 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: there is no one more gutless and just who looks 264 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: shittier right now than the day Ball led New York 265 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: Giants like they are currently in terms of the effort 266 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: and execution and just overall production. They play with an 267 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: embarrassment to the NFL. I mean, it's really really bad, 268 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: but listen, I can't it was your first start, like 269 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: I thought, regardless of the statistics, he looks solid going 270 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: on the road to Washington, coming off one of their 271 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: biggest wins. I mean, it's gotta be like a top 272 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: five win for the Commanders in the last decade. Now. 273 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: I know a large portion of it was against their 274 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: backup quarterback, but still Jaden throwing five touchdowns against Fango 275 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: in that defense, a lot of momentum. That place is 276 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: gonna be going fucking bananas. It's gonna be a tough 277 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: spot for Penix and like coaching advantage, I'm going Commanders 278 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: over the Raheem Morris led operation. But and I'm a 279 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: Michael Pennix guy, I just think it's gonna be challenging. 280 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: They could easily lose that game. I haven't seen the 281 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: line yet. They're gonna be an underdog in that game, 282 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: so they control their own destiny. But I think they 283 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: lose that game, and the Bucks are still very much 284 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: alive playing the Panthers, which is no easy out the 285 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: way they're playing, and the Saints both at home. So 286 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: I think if they win those two games, they're still 287 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and that'd be back to back playoffs 288 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: for this guy that replaced Tom Brady. And listen, like, 289 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: I think the Bucks are solid. It's hard to overcome. 290 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: They've had a bunch of injuries, obviously losing god Win 291 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: a long time ago. You know, they're playing with some randoms. 292 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: It's basically they feel a little like the Cowboys. It's like, 293 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: if you can just somehow neutralize Mike Evans, you can 294 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: at least slow them down. But Baker's throwing fucking balls 295 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: to I was like, who's this tight end? What's this 296 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: guy's name? And I was just really really impressed. And 297 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: that play vide Vea made to stop Ferguson from a 298 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: first down at the end of the game to force 299 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: a punt and give the Bucks an opportunity was just fantastic. 300 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: I mean, what a special player. And was there anybody 301 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: that once the Bucks got the ball back that didn't 302 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: believe that Baker at minimum was going to get them 303 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: in field goal range. Honestly, I thought he was gonna 304 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: lead him down to score a touchdown, and not because 305 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: the Cowboys defense was playing bad, just because I had 306 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: that much leaf in Baker Mayfield. But you look back 307 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: at the twenty eighteen draft, you know, Alan and Lamar 308 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: a like hall of famers, what Baker and Donald which 309 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,640 Speaker 1: is kind of ironic just because a couple of years 310 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 1: ago their careers were in shambles playing together, right, they 311 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: traded for Donald on the Panthers. Then a year later 312 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: they traded for Baker, and it was like, this is 313 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:23,239 Speaker 1: a disaster, and both those guys left that place and 314 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: now look at him. It's just awesome. As a football fan, 315 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: I loved watching Baker Mayfield at Oklahoma. I would say 316 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: over the last decade plus, he's easily one of my 317 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: favorite college players to watch. And I remember battling with 318 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: Coward who thought you didn't like him coming out because 319 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: there were a lot of, you know, immaturity questions about him. 320 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: But I was like, I don't know, man, I think 321 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: he's so good he will overcome it. And clearly some 322 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: maturity stuff. I think his life changed, and I think 323 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: they've kind of alluded to it and even talked about it. 324 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,919 Speaker 1: You know once he got married, had a child, he 325 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: feels like a different human being. And if you look 326 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: at Jason Kelcey, when Jason Kelcey became a star player, 327 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 1: and he's definitely talked about this, his career was not 328 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: going that well. There were rumors that he might get traded. 329 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 1: Right around twenty sixteen, met his wife start having kids. 330 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,360 Speaker 1: Look when Jason Kelsey started making Pro Bowls in all 331 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 1: pro teams and he never looked back. And I feel 332 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: like whatever happened once Baker got to Tampa, his life 333 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: calmed down. He's become a top ten quarterback. And honestly, 334 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: he has moments where it's like that's a top five 335 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: quarterback on some of these drives, avoiding players, hitting guys 336 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 1: getting hit and still making the throw. He's not just 337 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: a fun player to watch, like, he's a really really 338 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: good player. And I think Tampa that situation last year 339 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,919 Speaker 1: of just they kind of took a flyer on him 340 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: and he earned it. And this year he's doubled down. 341 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: Because he was good last year, he's way better this year. 342 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 1: And now they just they got to win the next 343 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: two games. And the biggest commander fans Sunday Night, which 344 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: I think, listen, if Atlanta wins that game, they deserve 345 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: to go to the playoffs. And I think if Atlanta 346 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,239 Speaker 1: loses that game, what they'll be asking themselves would we 347 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: have won this division if we would have bench cousins 348 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 1: a month ago? And my answer is yes. And I 349 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: Colin and I talked about this briefly, but you guys know, 350 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 1: I did not like the sequence of events because having 351 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: been with these you know, with a team and knowing 352 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 1: the way the build up is, you have a really 353 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: if you're a good GM, you really really know the 354 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 1: draft pool after the combine, who you like, who you 355 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: don't like. Now, when you're a good team, like if 356 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: you're Andy Reid and Viach, you don't have a great 357 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: idea after the combine, like who's gonna beware, But you 358 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 1: got a pretty good idea the group of twelve to 359 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: thirteen guys that are gonna be top ten picks. But 360 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: you don't have a great idea when you're drafting thirty 361 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: first or thirty second. Who's gonna be there when you pick? 362 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: So when you leave the combine, if you are decent 363 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 1: at your job, you have a really good idea who 364 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: you like in the top ten if you have a 365 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: top ten pick, and who you would want. And when 366 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:15,199 Speaker 1: the combine ended, most people knew for a fact like 367 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: Michael Penix was available in the top ten, like you 368 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: didn't have to trade up to get him. If you 369 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 1: were drafting eighth, he one thousand percent was going to 370 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: be there. So for them to do the Cousins move 371 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 1: and then do the Penix thing, they did not know 372 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: they liked Pennix when they signed Cousins at that level, 373 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 1: because if they had, they would not have signed Cousins 374 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: and they just would have drafted Pennix and done what 375 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: the Bucks did last year, sign a guy like Baker 376 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 1: for five million, Bucks signed Sam Darnold or Gardner Minshew 377 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: and had that guy be Penix's backup. Why because Penix 378 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 1: is a twenty four year old, ready made pro prospect, 379 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 1: doesn't mean he was gonna be good. But he was 380 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: not a guy that needed to sit. And I heard 381 00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: Scheger mention it this week that he wasn't getting any 382 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: reps in practice. Of course not, because the starter gets 383 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,400 Speaker 1: them all. So when you're the backup, you just serviced 384 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 1: the scout team defense. So the Atlanta Falcons, if they 385 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: do miss the playoffs, and the Bucks win these last 386 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 1: two games and they lose to the Washington Commanders. That's 387 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 1: on the front office, because you can't convince me that 388 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: they would not have been better off with Pennis playing 389 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: this whole time. I don't believe it. His arms much 390 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: more lively, he's way bigger threat to throw the ball downfield. 391 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: He's just a better player today. There is not one 392 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 1: coach or GM in the NFL for the next three 393 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: games that would take Kirk Cousins over Michael Pennix. And 394 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: that was the case five weeks ago. So I just 395 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: I think the Bucks got a little lucky because they've 396 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: had a million injuries. This year has been hard. Baker's 397 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 1: played out of his ass, obviously, throwing all these touchdowns 398 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: and keeping them in games that, like even a night 399 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 1: like they were getting outplayed and he just kind of 400 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: willed them to that game. But because the Atlanta Falcons 401 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: stuck with Cousins for so long, that will be a 402 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: big reason if this plays out the way that I 403 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: think it will play out. But just a fantastic game 404 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: that I that was awesome.

When you're 434 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: a young player and you get thrown into the fire 435 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: and you struggle, it's natural. Most guys aren't Micah Parsons 436 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,239 Speaker 1: or Justin Jefferson that just hit the ground running and 437 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 1: become instant stars. Even a lot of guys and whoever 438 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: your favorite team is that drafts like a guard or 439 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 1: a linebacker or something in the third or fourth round 440 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: and he's just an immediate starter and he's just solid 441 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: like that. That's an anomaly. Most guys kind of come 442 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: in and out right if they play wide receiver, tight end, linebacker, 443 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: dB kind of mix in, have some good plays, have 444 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 1: some bad plays, maybe kind of get bench, go back 445 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: to special teams. It's a work in progress. The sport's 446 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: really really difficult physically, mentally, the length of the season, 447 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: the different schemes that you've never seen in college. It's hard. 448 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: I it's why everyone that was like Caleb Williams and 449 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: the Bears are gonna be awesome, Like, do you guys 450 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: not realize how difficult this is. So it's why what 451 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: Jayden did today was mind blowing. But he played five 452 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: years and caught five year starter. Like he has a 453 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: lot of reps. Oh, next, same thing, Like these guys 454 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 1: have an abnormal amount of reps for being rookie quarterbacks. 455 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 1: Bryce Young looked really, really bad. I think we gave 456 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: him somewhat of a pass last year because the franchise 457 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: was so bad, right and rightfully, so it's like, listen, 458 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: giving him a little pass, just like the Bears. I'm 459 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 1: giving them a little pass. We'll see who they hire 460 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 1: and we'll hold them to a different standard next year. 461 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: Then this year started and it felt like he was 462 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,719 Speaker 1: even worse. It was like, this is crazy. I liked 463 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: him out of college. It was hard not to. You 464 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,439 Speaker 1: watch him play at Alabama, but then you watch him 465 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: in the pros the second year, You're like, he looks 466 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: so small, his arm looks terrible. He's inaccurate. You can't 467 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: function like this is not this is not gonna work. 468 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: And he got benched rightfully. So and let's face it, 469 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: whenever you get benched in the pros at quarterback, especially 470 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: a high pick, it's a really really big story. It 471 00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: was a huge story when Anthony Richardson get benched. I 472 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: mean it's a big deal. And Anthey Richardton came back. 473 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: It kind of looks the same inaccurate throw. Some bad 474 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,360 Speaker 1: picks can run, but it's just like the same thing. 475 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 1: Bryce Young comes back. He's a completely different human. If 476 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: he just box Score scouted him, it will not tell 477 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: you how dramatically now the bar was really low. But 478 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,439 Speaker 1: against the Eagles, you watch him today like he's a 479 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: real player. He makes real plays. They couldn't get it 480 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 1: first down with him, He couldn't throw a wheel route. 481 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: He was completely lost. And maybe it was just simple 482 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 1: is he needed to take a step back, he needed 483 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: to take a deep breath. I don't know what he did. 484 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 1: And if your Panther fan, maybe you've read articles about this, 485 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: maybe he's talked about this. I don't know if he 486 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 1: went to therapy. I don't know if he just got 487 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: away from football. I don't know if he just was 488 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: completely humbled. It doesn't seem like it's not like he 489 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: was cocky about it, So I don't know if he 490 00:26:55,640 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 1: needed humility, but it worked and today he made some awesome, 491 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,880 Speaker 1: awesome place with his legs, run around, he ran over 492 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,719 Speaker 1: a defender, threw a couple of touchdowns. Chewba Hubbard went nuts, 493 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 1: and listen, the Cardinals aren't that good. But like we 494 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: talked about with the Cowboys this season, for the Panthers, 495 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 1: once they kind of benched him and came back to him, 496 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: he's like, whatever, this team's just gonna lose every week. 497 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: Because when he was playing, it felt like they were 498 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: one of the worst teams we'd ever seen. It's like, 499 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: this doesn't get any worse. And since he's come back, 500 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,719 Speaker 1: like they're a real NFL team. They could beat anyone. 501 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 1: That's you know, I'm giving the Bucks to win. That's 502 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: going to be a very difficult game. They just benefit from, 503 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: you know, the games in Tampa, and it's obviously must 504 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: win for them, but that's gonna be hard the way 505 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 1: they're playing. So Bryce, I can't tell you how much 506 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: respect I have respect for anyone who just goes to 507 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: a really really shitty moment in life, and most of 508 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 1: the moments that we go through all aren't, you know, 509 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: depending on your industry or personal life, it's not a 510 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: public thing. Now your friends and family may know about it, 511 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,679 Speaker 1: and people in your co workers, but it's a pretty 512 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 1: isolated thing. It feels like a big deal. But at 513 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 1: that level to be that public, to be the number 514 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 1: one pick, it had to probably feel pretty lonely, and 515 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: there had to be times where he looked in the 516 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: mirror and go, do I suck it? I can I 517 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: play in the NFL? And to find a way to 518 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,640 Speaker 1: be mentally tough enough to battle through it and come 519 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:35,199 Speaker 1: back and play like he's played like that. That's you 520 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: don't play for Saban and excel for Saban if you're 521 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: not a mentally tough motherfucker. And clearly listen, he doesn't 522 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: have elite talent. He doesn't throw the ball like Baker, 523 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: he doesn't run it like Kyler, but he can he 524 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: can be an NFL quarterback. And as crazy as that 525 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: sounds for a guy that was drafted number one pick 526 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: like middle Coff, I hope. So two months ago, no 527 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: one could say that, no one could say that you 528 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 1: couldn't watch him play and think like, yeah, this guy 529 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: could be a starter, and now you watch him, you 530 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: go like, this guy could be a starter. Now, how good? 531 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: At what level? I'm not gonna go there yet, got 532 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: a long way to go, but he can be a 533 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 1: starter in the NFL for a team that clearly competes 534 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: every week, and they should have a big offseason because 535 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: they should have money and high draft picks. So congratulations 536 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: to Bryce Young for just battling his ass off the Eagles. 537 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,959 Speaker 1: I don't want to say lost the game because Jalen 538 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: got concussed, but Kenny Pickett I tweeted this out. I 539 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: will tell my children one day about the stretch of 540 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: quarterback inflation that we had that guys like Mac Jones 541 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: and Kenny Pickett got drafted in the top twenty. I 542 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: do believe that Mac Jones going fifteenth is one of 543 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: the craziest draft picks of my entire life. For example, 544 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: Trey Lance going three, It's like Middle Cough that was 545 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: an all time bust. We have seen guys be dramatic 546 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: busts with physical skills that are big, that are athletic, 547 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: that can row get it. But guys with Mac Jones 548 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: and Kenny Pickett's skill set the majority of at least 549 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: my life and the history of the NFL, those guys 550 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 1: go in like the fourth through seventh round. And because 551 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: the quarterback inflation got so out of whack because of 552 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: guys like Mahomes and Josh Allen, that everyone was reaching 553 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: for quarterbacks and we learned a valuable lesson. You can't 554 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: do that. Like the Eagles what they get them for 555 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,959 Speaker 1: six or seventh round pick, like they paid the proper price. 556 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: But I think the Jalen Hurts situation today shows you 557 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: how fast shick can change because especially so many of 558 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: these quarterbacks, Like look at all the good teams. Jared 559 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: Got's probably the one guy who doesn't run, but Jordan 560 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: Love moves, obviously, Jayden Daniels moves, Jalen Hurts moves. You 561 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 1: just go through the quarterbacks. You know, Baker Mayfield moves 562 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: that Sam Donald moves and obviously the AFC guys all 563 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 1: scramble around it. Forever it was like you could get hurt, 564 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 1: but you were gonna get hurt in the pocket. Now 565 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: because these guys are scrambling around either sliding or diving, 566 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: they just open themselves up for an injury and we're 567 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 1: coming down the home stretch before we knew it was 568 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: a concussion, which in a weird way, I think everyone's 569 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: relieved because you're like, what happened to Jalen? He's like, 570 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: worry something serious? And he still got a pass concussion 571 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 1: protocol or whatever to go back. But obviously that's way 572 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: better than some high ankle sprain or a broken collarbone 573 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: or whatever. The you know, list of injuries could be 574 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 1: can change like that. It really can't. And that's the 575 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:48,479 Speaker 1: thing about the sport that guys get injured. Position players 576 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: get injured. When your quarterback get injured, your entire heart drops. 577 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: And you see Kenny Pickett, Like, if Kenny Pickett had 578 00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: to play a lot in a playoff game the Eagles have, 579 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: you could argue the best roster top to bottom, you 580 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 1: would bet against them, because I mean, he's a backup 581 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: for a reason. But he's also just a very flawed 582 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: player and in these bigger moments, one thing like he 583 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: could beat the Giants or whatever, but you play him 584 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: in a playoff game against the Vikings, against the Packers, 585 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 1: against the Lions where he had to score a bunch 586 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: of points, it would be a major, major problem. So 587 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: I think it just sometimes I forget. You just think 588 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: it's just gonna go on go on, especially Mahomes. He 589 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: gets injured, he comes right back. You just realize to say, 590 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 1: how fast things can change it. And no one knows 591 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: that better than the Eagles that experienced that in twenty 592 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: seventeen when Carson wentz all of a sudden, he just 593 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: tears acl and he's just out. Now, that was the 594 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: best case scenario. Big Dick Nick came in and let 595 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 1: him to a Super Bowl. But I think we all 596 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 1: know most of the time that is not the way 597 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: it plays out. Last but not least. I can't get 598 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: over how bad of a loss that was for the 599 00:32:54,440 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: forty nine ers. Kyle Shanahan's protege was my McDaniel. He 600 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 1: started working for him in the late two thousands with 601 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. The stories are out there. You know, 602 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: he had a drinking problem and Gary Kubiak actually fired him, 603 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: and then they brought him back to Washington. He went 604 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: with them to Cleveland, he went with him to Atlanta. Obviously, 605 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: he played a huge part in San Francisco and went 606 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: on to help Kyle Shanahan build up the forty nine 607 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 1: Ers and then got the Miami job, and this year 608 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 1: has been a disaster. Like there has been talks in 609 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: Miami about them firing Mike McDaniel, partly because their owners 610 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 1: will loon, but just because, like what is going on, 611 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: this team just looks shitty. Then the Niners go on 612 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: the road and lose to him. I just it's hard 613 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: to put into words how terrible the forty nine ers 614 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 1: season has been. Today, they had nine penalties for ninety 615 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: yards on bay. Things like guys not lining up on 616 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, guys being off sides on defense, 617 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 1: like just pretty basic shit where Kyle obviously field goals 618 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,359 Speaker 1: continuing to miss because their field goal kicker is an 619 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 1: erratic guy. Their defense is a shell of itself. If 620 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 1: you told me the forty nine ers are going to 621 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 1: miss the playoffs, I guess I could have seen at 622 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,240 Speaker 1: the beginning of the year. It's the NFL. Weird shit happens. 623 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,799 Speaker 1: I don't know if I could have envisioned it going 624 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 1: like this. Last week, they score six points at home 625 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 1: against the Rams. This week they have ten points the 626 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 1: majority of the game. They can't score against the Miami 627 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,319 Speaker 1: Dolphins in a game where Debo and Kittle are going 628 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:47,719 Speaker 1: nuts and the pretty thing is throws a pick to 629 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 1: end the game essentially, and there's talks about fifty the 630 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: money per year. I hate that because you can manipulate 631 00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 1: any contract in the NFL. Clearly when you're talking a 632 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 1: quarterback contract though that they're talking about with Perdy, you're 633 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,400 Speaker 1: talking one hundred and seventy to two hundred million dollars. 634 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: And I just don't know how these last two games, 635 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 1: the games have ended on his interceptions, and last week 636 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 1: they tell you, well, Juwan Jennings got bumped. Why are 637 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 1: we throwing double move passes to Juwan Jennings with the 638 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 1: game on the line. How does that make any sense 639 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,319 Speaker 1: today that there's not a soul in sighte He hits 640 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins guy right in the hands as he's 641 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 1: getting destroyed. This is a business, and you can make 642 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:41,359 Speaker 1: mistakes financially on most contracts because most of them aren't 643 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: that detrimental big picture, because they're not even a fifty 644 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 1: million dollar guarantee. It's like it's over in a year 645 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,720 Speaker 1: and a half. When you guarantee one hundred and seventy 646 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars, that is like a three year window. 647 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 1: I was looking the other day. I think at Trevor 648 00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,319 Speaker 1: Lawrence's like they are in bed with Trevor Lawren for 649 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 1: the next three seasons. The contract starts next year. Really 650 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,320 Speaker 1: kick it in. That was the big thing with Russell Wilson's. 651 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 1: It was like it really kicks in now. So I 652 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 1: think when you invest in these contracts just because the 653 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:19,560 Speaker 1: market's the market, I have a hard time with that logic, Like, yeah, 654 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,759 Speaker 1: if you want a big time quarterback, it costs two 655 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars, Well the guy better be a big 656 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 1: time quarterback. If you just want to pay like we 657 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,760 Speaker 1: like the guy, but the market's the market, then that's 658 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,839 Speaker 1: on you. I never have a problem seeing these high end, 659 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 1: elite guys getting a ton of money ceedee lamb every 660 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:38,359 Speaker 1: time I watch them, Like, yeah, I would have paid 661 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 1: him to Justin Jefferson is like Jesus, like Randy Moss 662 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 1: two point zero TJ. Watt like shit underpaid. And then 663 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:49,840 Speaker 1: you see these quarterbacks, you go, yeah, lamar Josh, I 664 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 1: mean the Tampa Bay bucket. Jason Lyt does cartwheels every 665 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,479 Speaker 1: day down the whole way, knowing that he got Baker 666 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 1: Mayfield for one hundred million dollars to think that you 667 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,799 Speaker 1: would pay Brock already based on what we're seeing this year. Again, 668 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 1: I'm not acting like you cut the guy, but he 669 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 1: still has another year two hundred million dollars. I couldn't 670 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 1: do it. I couldn't and listen, if Kyle's adamant about it, 671 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 1: someone needs to step in. And I'm not pro for 672 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 1: an office people the owners meddling, but there has to 673 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 1: be some common sense and sometimes you know, you're kind 674 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,880 Speaker 1: of too close to the sun to kind of see everything. 675 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,319 Speaker 1: And that's how it feels like with Kyle. If he 676 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,520 Speaker 1: truly is dead set on like yeah, Brock star guy, 677 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 1: I'll give him the market value. That's just it's one 678 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 1: thing everyone's gonna make a mistake, a draft pick, a 679 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,719 Speaker 1: free agent signing. It's football. It happens when you sign 680 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:49,319 Speaker 1: a quarterback to these huge deals. You clearly have all 681 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:53,759 Speaker 1: this information, Like the Atlanta Falcons knew Kirk Cousins was 682 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,960 Speaker 1: coming off in Achilles. They knew Kirk Cousins I think 683 00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,400 Speaker 1: had won one career playoff game, Like they had that 684 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 1: he was thirty six, thirty seven years old, Like they 685 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 1: had that information. But when you sign your own guy, 686 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:10,719 Speaker 1: like the Miami Dolphins did. McDaniel spent every day for 687 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 1: two years around the guy, like they do what they 688 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:16,840 Speaker 1: were getting. He'd already showed them. The Packers kind of 689 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 1: rare situation where it's like, yeah, we're kind of betting 690 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 1: on the company, but they had still spent four years 691 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,840 Speaker 1: around the guy. The forty nine ers, he's been the 692 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 1: starter for three years. They seemed the good, but they're 693 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,719 Speaker 1: really starting to see the bad. And when you pay 694 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 1: a guy look at the Chiefs, you just don't have 695 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:35,800 Speaker 1: as many options, right because that money impacts your cap 696 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways when you're just paying these 697 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: huge salaries, and once that starts happening, even as the 698 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,800 Speaker 1: salary cap goes up, it's harder to build a good team. 699 00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,760 Speaker 1: So I think there has to be some deep breast taking, 700 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 1: Like this is a fluid conversation, and as of right now, 701 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,719 Speaker 1: i'd beat in play it out mode. We got another year. 702 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,440 Speaker 1: You're making a lot of money off the field. We 703 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:02,920 Speaker 1: like you. But here's the Baker Mayfield contract. Is he 704 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 1: better player in Baker Mayfield right now? Is he? I mean, 705 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 1: I'm watching Baker Mayfield for one hundred million dollars about 706 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: to throw probably forty touchdowns on the season. It's like, well, 707 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield doesn't No, it's team's been injured all year long. 708 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,640 Speaker 1: I mean injuries left and right. Mike Evans missed half 709 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:24,560 Speaker 1: the season. Godwin's leg got pointed the other way. They 710 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,760 Speaker 1: didn't find out Bucky Irvin was sweet till like halfway 711 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:30,879 Speaker 1: through the season. They have a new offensive coordinator make 712 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,959 Speaker 1: a hundred million dollars total. That was his contract, thirty 713 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,160 Speaker 1: three million dollars a year. I don't know, man, I'm 714 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,600 Speaker 1: just not one of these. The markets the market, but 715 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 1: that feels like, yeah, the market's the market. If I 716 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,920 Speaker 1: got a sweet Hall of Fame quarterback. If I don't, 717 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 1: then we gotta have real conversations because if we want 718 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,360 Speaker 1: to win here, we can't win maxing you out. The 719 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,400 Speaker 1: Dolphins are never gonna win with two on that contract. 720 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 1: Not gonna happen. They got no shot. So I'll get 721 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,440 Speaker 1: out of here around that. I just that that pick. 722 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 1: It's just that'd be seared in my mind if I 723 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 1: was the guy either writing the check his you know, 724 00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 1: John Lynch, people just in the forty nine Ers front office, 725 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,279 Speaker 1: like can we just can we just take a deep 726 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 1: breath on this one. The volume
