00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: My girlfriend's a huge fan. And I looked at the

52
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: schedule and I saw it was the Raiders backup quarterback.

53
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: And then Herbert went out. I said, yeah, nothing for

00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: football games, all because of my friends at game time, Okay,

64
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 2: yesterday if you're watching this, depending on the day, I

65
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 2: think on Tuesday of this week, Tom Kern, who has

66
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: covered the Patriots forever, reported that is going to be

67
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: out at the end of the season, and really it

68
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: was decided when they lost to Shane psych And and Gardner

69
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: Minshew in Germany. And listen, whether that's true or not.

70
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick, if he was in control for twenty five years,

71
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: would one hundred percent fire him himself, right, I mean

72
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 2: that's the way he would have worked. Like this thing's

73
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: been over for a while. You could argue it was

74
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 2: really kind of over last year when he made some

75
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: of his coaching hires, and this year's an all time embarrassment.

76
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 2: And listen, I'm a big believer. I've been fired a

77
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: couple times. I've made career changes, I've started over, and

78
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: every single time it was the healthiest thing that ever

79
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 2: happened to me. The one guy I worked for the

80
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: NFL who's now considered, I don't know, the best coach

81
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: in the league was fired, and I think it's fair

82
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: to say Andy Reid going from Philadelphia to Kansas City

83
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: is the best thing that's ever happened to him. Look

84
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 2: around the league right now. Sean Payton wasn't fired. He

85
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 2: took a step back, reset, went to Denver, kind of

86
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 2: got a fresh start now his team, you know, I

87
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: would say, press a pice of making the playoffs this year.

88
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy ran out of town in Green Bay, leaves,

89
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 2: takes a deep breath, goes to the Cowboys. This is

90
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 2: gonna be their third straight year in the playoffs, and

91
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 2: I think they got a chance, if things go right,

92
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 2: to make some serious noise. I think we'd all agree

93
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 2: on that. Pete Carroll fired multiple times, being fired is

94
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: not that crazy. Bill Belichick has been fired before, and

95
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 2: I think ultimately this will lead him to another place.

96
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 2: He can reunite with Josh McDaniels and everything is happy.

97
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: I think it is one hundred percent the right decision

98
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 2: for the Crafts. It's over, like some things in life

99
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: never end. Like your parents are your parents. If you

100
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 2: have kids, your kids are your kids. You can't just

101
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 2: get rid of them. I mean, they're kind of with you,

102
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 2: right even as they age, you just got to deal

103
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 2: with them, even if you don't, you know, wish they

104
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: were a little nicer or a little more successful or whatever.

105
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: It is what it is, right, But professionally, sometimes you

106
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 2: got to break up. And a lot of times there's

107
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 2: a reason for it, and a lot of times, if

108
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 2: you're a successful, high achieving, ambitious person like all these

109
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 2: people in the NFL are it's a very very positive

110
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 2: outcome for everyone involved. Right, there's a reason that we're

111
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 2: even talking about this. But what I don't understand, and

112
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: someone hit me in the DMS a while back, was like,

113
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: we talk so much about Bill Belichick. The guy's won

114
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: six rings, he's been to three other Super Bowls with

115
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: the Patriots, He's ten and three against Mike Tomlin. He's

116
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: kicked the livid shit out of them. And when you

117
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 2: look at Tomlin's stretch of the last two games, losing

118
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: to Arizona in that game with torrential downpour, crazy weather,

119
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: and then the Patriots, I don't even think it's close

120
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 2: what the worst losses because ultimately, if you're playing Kyler

121
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 2: Murray and there are multiple delays in the game, things

122
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 2: can get weird. That is understandable to lose a game,

123
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 2: even if it is a quote unquote awful loss. To

124
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 2: lose to the Patriots and Bailey Zappi when they're the

125
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: first team since like nineteen thirty eight to lose three

126
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 2: games with holding the opponent to ten points are under

127
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: and losing all those games because they can't score. And

128
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 2: then you look up and I was at a bar

129
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 2: last Thursday and it's like twenty one to three before

130
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 2: you even blink, I mean, what are we doing? And listen.

131
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 2: I think Mike Tomlin's good. I've defended him over the

132
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: years as a lot of people on the forefront of

133
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 2: this argument that he's overrated or the hype's too strong.

134
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 2: But I went and just wrote down his record since

135
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen. He went nine and six, then he went

136
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 2: eight and eight. Then in the ron a year he

137
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: went twelve and four and got his ass kick. The

138
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: score ended up coming back a little late, but let's

139
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 2: face it, it wasn't that close to the Baker Mayfield Cleveland

140
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 2: Browns last three years nine and seven, nine and eight,

141
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: and he's currently seven and six. This thing is going

142
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 2: nowhere now. He's not gonna bottom out like Belichick is

143
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 2: doing this year or like Andy Reid did his last

144
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 2: year in Philadelphia. That's clearly not gonna happen, because even

145
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: if they were to lose out, they would still be

146
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 2: seven and ten, and more than likely he's going to

147
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 2: be eight to nine or nine and eight. History would

148
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: say he's going to be nine to eight. But where

149
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: are we going? What is the future? And if you're

150
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin and I understand the power of the brand.

151
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 2: The Pittsburgh Steelers are easily one of the bigger brands

152
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 2: in all of American sport. Their fan base is fucking enormous,

153
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 2: their organization is first class. They're obviously very loyal, but

154
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 2: part of being a coach is you want to be

155
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 2: with the best and right now. And listen, people have

156
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 2: argued and I don't know whether Tomlin has impact in

157
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 2: the draft, how much of a hand he has, how

158
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: strong he was behind Kenny Pickett. He definitely wasn't anti

159
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 2: Kenny Pickett. It's just not working out. And I think

160
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 2: he would benefit just like obviously Bill Belichick would benefit,

161
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: just like Andy and Mike McCarthy benefited from starting over.

162
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 2: It is very healthy, Like this is not going anywhere.

163
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 2: There's not just in two years, all of a sudden,

164
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 2: we're going to look up and they're just rattling off

165
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 2: twelve win seasons. The other thing is, as a coach,

166
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 2: when you start losing your fastball, what usually happens you

167
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 2: make very very poor coordinator decisions. I saw it with

168
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 2: Andy Reid in Philadelphia. Hired one castile because he didn't

169
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 2: want to lose him to another team, made him as

170
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator. It obviously completely unraveled, right. You saw it

171
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 2: with Mike McCarthy's inability to hire a defensive coordinator and

172
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 2: get it right when he was in Green Bay, right,

173
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 2: And now I think you're seeing it with Mike Tomlin.

174
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 2: You saw it last year with Belichick when he hired

175
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 2: all his cronies that didn't even coach those positions to

176
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 2: be his offensive coordinator and his quarterback coach, Like what

177
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 2: are we doing? And you saw it this year with

178
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin on the offensive side of the ball. And

179
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 2: I think sometimes you can lose your confidence when you're

180
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 2: not winning like you're used to. And for a long

181
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: per for a decade straight, the guy was used to

182
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: winning at a really, really high level, and now you look,

183
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 2: he's just kind of an eight and eight, nine and eight,

184
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 2: you know, nine and six, seven and six, Like that's

185
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 2: just kind of his vibe. That's just kind of who

186
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 2: he is right now. And I think no coach. If

187
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 2: he hit the open market, people would be lined up

188
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 2: to hire him. I actually think he makes a ton

189
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: of sense. I said this yesterday. The Chargers, to me,

190
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 2: cannot afford to hire an unknown. They cannot go the

191
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 2: coordinator around. And for every good coordinator that's hired and

192
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 2: becomes a stud head coach, a lot of them miss

193
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 2: a lot of people. And you guys have been sliding

194
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 2: in my dms at John Midlcoffe on Instagram asking about

195
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 2: dan Quinn because everyone's like, this guy's locked to get

196
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 2: a job. It's like, guys, did we see him in Atlanta? Like, yeah,

197
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 2: when he had Kyle Shanahan, one of the great offensive

198
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 2: coordinators of his era, he was good. Other than that,

199
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 2: it wasn't so pretty like this notion that dan Quinn's

200
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: gonna hire him. Yeah, he's high level. Guy's really good.

201
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 2: What I mean, he's just a really good coordinator. So

202
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 2: you hire a guy like Mike Tommlan, here's what I know.

203
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 2: One he's gonna be pissed off because anytime if you

204
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 2: got any you know, stuff inside, when you're told you're

205
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 2: not good enough, even if it's kind of obvious at

206
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 2: the time, it pisses you off. Happens to me. I'm

207
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 2: sure many people has happened to you. Right, you get

208
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 2: a little pep in your step when you get dumped

209
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: or you get fired, or you get you know, broken

210
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 2: up with. In terms of professionally in a business partnership,

211
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 2: it's the way it works. And I think the Chargers

212
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: he would make a ton of sense. Gives him a

213
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 2: little pizzazz in La. He's a bright lights guy, big personality,

214
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 2: but he's a real football coach and to me now,

215
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: he wouldn't be cheap. This is not some seven million

216
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 2: dollar lowest end of the ring. When hiring a head

217
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 2: coach level guy, you know you have to pay him

218
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 2: fifteen plus million because there would be countless teams very

219
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 2: interested in this guy. I'd imagine Washington, in an area

220
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 2: where he played college football, would be another team that

221
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 2: would be very interested. Right, all the teams that are

222
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 2: interested in Belijack should be interested in Tomlin. And both

223
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 2: guys are very dependent on their coordinators. Obviously, Belichick is

224
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 2: going to have one in his back pocket that Josh

225
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 2: comes with them. But to me, this notion that, like Mike,

226
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,719
Speaker 2: they're never gonna fire him. Why not? What what are

227
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 2: we doing? If I'm a Pittsburgh Steeler fan. It's it's

228
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 2: time and sometimes it's hard. Like some divorces are easy.

229
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 2: I hate her, she hates me. Let's go our separate ways.

230
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 2: We haven't slept in the same room in a decade.

231
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: We can't even fake it in front of our kids.

232
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 2: This is pointless. Let's go and then everyone's happy and

233
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 2: some are difficult, like this is not an easy breakup.

234
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 2: I even think the Belichick breakups pretty easy. It's clear, Bill,

235
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 2: this shit ain't working. We fucking appreciate everything you'll ever do,

236
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 2: or everything you've ever done for this organization. Now we've

237
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 2: paid you for it, We've paid you a premium, and

238
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 2: you widely have benefited by being talked about as the

239
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 2: greatest coach of all time. But this thing's over the

240
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 2: tomblin thing you can justify, well, it doesn't suck. It's like, well,

241
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 2: come on, guys, sometimes you just got to press the

242
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 2: eject button and and blow the thing up. You don't

243
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 2: even need to do that. You've still got a lot

244
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 2: of good players. You got to figure out the quarterback position.

245
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,599
Speaker 2: But it's just time for a change. And to me,

246
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 2: that's what the Pittsburgh Steelers and when he and if

247
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 2: he becomes available, to me, the Chargers should be all

248
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 2: over him. I mean, he would have to be their

249
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 2: number one choice. And then it would come down to

250
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 2: and we've been talking about this, what happens with the

251
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: Chargers general manager. And again I'm not I wouldn't bet

252
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: ten thousand dollars that if Tomlin was available that the

253
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 2: Chargers would land him, because I would not shock me

254
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 2: at all if they went cheap that that is historically

255
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 2: their mo. But if they didn't, I think it would

256
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 2: be a sad day for football because I think him

257
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 2: going there would immediately make them infinitely more relevant and

258
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 2: impactful at a high level in the National Football League

259
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 2: because of their quarterbacks. So I think it's over for Tomlin. However,

260
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: this season, you know, plays out whether they make the

261
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 2: playoffs or not. I mean, they're a one and done team.

262
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 2: You're not winning a game with Kenny Pickett and definitely

263
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 2: not with Mitch Trubisky. And listen, they keep resigning Miss

264
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 2: Trubisky to the the backup options. It's hard for me

265
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 2: to have sympathy when that's the guy they believe in.

266
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 2: Just look at the Cincinnati Bengals, Like look who they

267
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 2: made their backup quarterback, Jake Brown, who is clearly in

268
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 2: a different fucking universe than Trubisky as a player, Like

269
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 2: you put yourself in a position you have to value

270
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 2: the backup quarterback in twenty twenty three, because as we see,

271
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 2: it's never been easier to play the position just to function.

272
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 2: I'm not saying to be Mahomes or to be Alan

273
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 2: or be Lamar Jackson, but it is easy to find

274
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 2: a guy who can function. Joe Flacgo just showed up

275
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 2: off the couch and is helping them win games. But

276
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 2: you can find these younger guys who are improving, who

277
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 2: can function in your offense, and they chose miss Trubisky.

278
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 2: And that, I'm sorry, is a reflection on Mike Tomlin,

279
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 2: because that should be a guy that you throw your

280
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 2: body in front of and say, under my dead body,

281
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 2: is this guy going to stay on the team. Because

282
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 2: we are one broken ankle, we are one you know,

283
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 2: broken hand, We are one whatever injury away from this

284
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 2: guy starting games for US, and if he starts games

285
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 2: for US, let's TJ. Watt Heighsmith have seventeen sacks apiece

286
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 2: in those games and Minka has four interceptions. We're gonna lose.

287
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: And that's what's happened. I saw some NFL news today

288
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 2: that the NFL, who clearly enjoys going international right this

289
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 2: year they went to Germany, They've been going to London

290
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 2: and you know over in the in the UK forever,

291
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 2: which I totally understand. You're either growing or you're dying.

292
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 2: You can never be afraid to try uncomfortable things in business.

293
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 2: The NFL has gone international for a long long time,

294
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 2: especially adding this seventeenth game. It's not really taking away

295
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 2: anything from the fans, but today they voted one they're

296
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 2: gonna go to Brazil next year, which I'd say is

297
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 2: a pretty bold move, and two that they are going

298
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 2: to in perpetuity basically have eight plus international games moving forward.

299
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 2: And I think you can see this coming from a

300
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 2: mile away. It's gonna turn into sixteen. Like they're just

301
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 2: gonna have a full slate of games internationally. And I

302
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 2: think the NFL has to be very careful because one

303
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 2: issue and I listen. Adam Silver's never listened to me.

304
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 2: Most people probably think I'm an NBA hater. I should

305
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 2: be their most value customer. I was born in the

306
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 2: MJ area Era. I had a pair of shorts for

307
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 2: like ten NBA teams throughout junior high in high school,

308
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 2: I have watched so many NBA games up until the

309
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: last five or six years. When they've lost me. They've

310
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 2: lost me as a consumer. And the reason is because

311
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 2: when I show up to give them their time, half

312
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 2: the time when I turn on the TV, the best

313
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 2: players are not playing. They are basically putting middle fingers

314
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,119
Speaker 2: up and saying f you to me. Last night in Chicago,

315
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 2: the multiple time MVP and best player in the NBA

316
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 2: and current NBA Champion nikolea Jokic was tossed out of

317
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 2: a game for calling the referee a motherfucker after a

318
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 2: blown call. This is not high school Chicago. I guess

319
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 2: I read on social media has the highest person of

320
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 2: Serbians in America and obviously he's from Serbia. Pretty big deal. Like,

321
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 2: it's a pretty big deal for those individuals to make

322
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 2: an effort. I don't know if you've ever googled NBA

323
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 2: tickets because I would imagine many people listening might not

324
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 2: have been to an NBA game recently. They are outrageously expensive,

325
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 2: and the way they treat the consumer, like Amazon's the best, right,

326
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 2: No company in America right now treats the consumer better.

327
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 2: You press a button, it's there within twenty four hours,

328
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 2: you don't like it, you got thirty forty five days

329
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 2: to send it back free of charge. Like they are

330
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 2: the most consumer friendly business in America. What's Amazon doing

331
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 2: kicking fucking ass, taking names? What's the NBA doing? Anti

332
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 2: consumer bleeding on a daily basis? In the NFL the

333
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 2: reason they have lacked everyone else, it's extremely consumer friendly

334
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 2: when you show up on your couch, which is actually

335
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,199
Speaker 2: more valuable than going to a game. You know, for

336
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 2: a fact, if it's Bill's chiefs that unless they have

337
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 2: major injuries every year, good player on both teams is

338
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 2: not only gonna play, they're gonna give you everything they have.

339
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 2: And America has embraced the sport like never before, and

340
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 2: it's huge. But the NFL makes their money with people

341
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 2: in America right and you can listen, this is nine

342
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: games whatever, But part of business is you're always thinking

343
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 2: bigger bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger. Expand expand, expand expand.

344
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 2: Money's all relative. One hundred grand to me might not

345
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 2: be much. One hundred grand to you might be everything.

346
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 2: A million dollars to me might be a lot. A

347
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 2: million dollars to you might mean nothing. I mean, every

348
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 2: single person values money differently, no different than business. At

349
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 2: one point in time, a billion dollars to the NFL

350
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,479
Speaker 2: was a big deal. Now you sell franchises for six

351
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 2: seven billion. Now the league is signing one hundred billion

352
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 2: dollar television deals. But you never want to go backwards.

353
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 2: You always want to go forward. The NBA had this

354
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 2: happen with Adam Silver. He became huge, ongoing international and

355
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 2: it felt like he forgot about us. And right now

356
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 2: they are not reaping the benefits of that. It's cost

357
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 2: their league a lot of money. Potentially here in this

358
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 2: next you know, twelve twenty four months, when they negotiate

359
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 2: these new television deals, which could be an utter and

360
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 2: epic disaster. I mean it, I expect it to be.

361
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,479
Speaker 2: At the pace in which we're going. The NFL has

362
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 2: not had that problem, and because like I said, they

363
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 2: are very very consumer friendly. But I think You've got

364
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 2: to be very, very careful and never forget. And I

365
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 2: think about this a lot too, like I get sometimes.

366
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 2: I had a lady slide into my DMS the other day.

367
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 2: I think I made a comment about you know, I

368
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 2: was using an analogy about a girl getting big and

369
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 2: I don't know, she's like that offended me, and listen,

370
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 2: I don't mean to offend anybody, but I can't worry

371
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 2: about offending everybody. You know, I speak to my base.

372
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 2: I mean, this is kind of the way the world works, right,

373
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 2: And I talk like I talk, So I'm not gonna

374
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 2: make everybody happy on a daily basis, and that's not

375
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 2: really my role too. I try to play to the

376
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 2: greatest percentage of people that I think I can relate

377
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 2: to pretty well. And I know the way we talk

378
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 2: and I know the way we think because I'm just

379
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 2: one of you guys. And I think the NFL has

380
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 2: really really resonated with people in this country, and it's

381
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 2: it's never been bigger, and I understand the I think

382
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: sometimes we throw around the world greed instead of just

383
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 2: like business. It's business. You always like Jeff Bezos didn't

384
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 2: stop when they really started making money. He kept the

385
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 2: pedal of the medal. Neither did Steve Jobs. Neither do

386
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 2: any of these people. And I understand why the NFL

387
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 2: is thinking like this, and especially the league office. But

388
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 2: you ask all these owners the reason why their teams

389
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 2: are were so much. The reason why they're buying yachts

390
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 2: and homes in Italy or Brazil or wherever the fuck

391
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 2: their seventh home is, and unlimited cars and private jets

392
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 2: and the life of the the elites, of the elites

393
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 2: is because of us and because of the fans, you know,

394
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 2: in this country and in the cities and the greater

395
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 2: areas around those cities that have NFL teams. It's just

396
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 2: something to be cognizant of as this league continues to

397
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 2: get bigger, because these these games are going to be successful,

398
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 2: right that. They'll sell out in Brazil, They're gonna continue

399
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 2: to sell out in Europe. They could you know, they

400
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 2: went to Germany, why wouldn't they go to Spain or Italy.

401
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 2: They'll go to other countries and it'll they'll go to Japan.

402
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 2: I mean, they used to when I was a kid.

403
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 2: I'm sure they'll do that again. And it's gonna work.

404
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 2: And when something works, what do you usually do you

405
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 2: want more of it, And I just think you got

406
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 2: to be very and I'm not some alarmists I've just

407
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 2: seen in other sports you go more international. Soccer can

408
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 2: go internationally. It doesn't matter that it's the biggest sport

409
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 2: in the world and it always will be just based

410
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 2: on the quantity. The NFL is very dependent on the

411
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 2: domestic consumer, like I mean, paying the bills for for

412
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 2: literally everything, especially their television deals, which let's face it,

413
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 2: pay the bills, so it's just it's just something to watch.

414
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 2: And another thing that came out of the owners meeting

415
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 2: was the hip drop tackle. I personally think it's kind

416
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 2: of stupid that you try to over legislate. You could

417
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 2: find anything in slow motion that looks really bad, right,

418
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 2: and some things like the NFL I grew up on

419
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 2: in the early mid nineties was a very very violent sport,

420
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 2: right it was some of the best players were the

421
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,719
Speaker 2: most violent guys, and the most violent guys were truly

422
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 2: celebrated when you lighten guys up, whether you were Steve Atwater,

423
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 2: John Lynch, I mean, everyone knew the big hitters and

424
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 2: you would get absolutely destroyed if you went over them.

425
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 2: Those days are done. And I think the violence and

426
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 2: I've been saying this forever, it always bothers me in

427
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 2: college football when someone gets kicked out of the game

428
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 2: because we only play so many games in football that

429
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 2: this is not baseball, where there's one hundred and sixty two.

430
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 2: Like if you get run in a baseball game and

431
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 2: you're an everyday player, like whatever, it's a six inning.

432
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 2: You only had a couple more. Anyway, you're gonna playe

433
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 2: hundred fifty games in football, you don't get that many spots.

434
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 2: And when you eject the guy is why my issue

435
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 2: with Big Dom and Dre Greenlaw, Like no one needed

436
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 2: to be thrown out of that game. This is not

437
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 2: pee wee football here. Just just separate them and let's

438
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 2: move the you know what on. And I think the

439
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 2: hip drop tackle is one of those things that's getting

440
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 2: over legislated. No one's trying to hurt anybody. But I

441
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 2: can't tackle you high because I will get a flag

442
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 2: and I will get in trouble. And I don't want

443
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 2: to tackle you too low because players openly talk. I

444
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 2: don't want to get too low. My ankles, my feet,

445
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 2: and my knees are my money maker. Right if I'm

446
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 2: an offensive skill guy, and those are the guys that

447
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:46,479
Speaker 2: are tackled. Running backs, high ends, wide receivers, quarterbacks tackle

448
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,959
Speaker 2: me in the mid section, Well if I tackle you

449
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 2: in the mid section. And one of the tech tackles

450
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 2: in most recent memory that became a point of a

451
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 2: topic was the Mark Andrews injury. Mark Andrews is not

452
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 2: five to ten of Buck seventy. It is hard to

453
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 2: tackle guys the size of George Kittle and Rob Gronkowski

454
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 2: and Mike Evans. How am I supposed to get this

455
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 2: guy to the ground, especially if I'm not Ray Lewis.

456
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 2: What if I'm just a dB or a safety or

457
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 2: just a smaller linebacker like yeah, Fred Warner and Dre

458
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 2: Greenlaw don't typically need to quote unquote hip drop tackles.

459
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 2: They can just tackle through you, right, Luke Keikley and

460
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 2: most guys are not that. Most guys need to do

461
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 2: everything humanly possible to get you to the ground. But

462
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 2: no one's trying to injure anybody. So you can throw

463
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 2: a flag on that play. What's it gonna do?

464
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: Like?

465
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 2: What am I supposed to do? Do you want me to

466
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 2: hit guys on the knee? Do you want more knee

467
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 2: and ankle injuries, because I think this is always gets

468
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 2: back to why Belichick and Sean Payton they despise all Caps,

469
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 2: despise the league office. It's a bunch of guys that

470
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 2: have never been involved with teams. Listen, Roger is very,

471
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 2: very successful. Him and David Stern are easily the most

472
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 2: successful commissioners of my lifetime. They are guys you want

473
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 2: leading your organization toward financial prosperity. But one thing I

474
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 2: think David was probably better about is being in the

475
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 2: trenches with the guys. Not that he I mean, he

476
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 2: was just a lawyer. But I think the disconnect sometimes

477
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 2: between the coaches, the players, and Roger and some of

478
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 2: his cronies is wide. Now you can say Troy Vincent

479
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 2: played in the NFL. I think Troy is kind of

480
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 2: morphed into a Roger two point zero type, and I

481
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 2: think there's a lack of you know, there's a disconnect,

482
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 2: And to not have coaches in gms, you know, it's why,

483
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 2: like people in the media, if you don't talk to

484
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 2: coaches in the GMS, I don't take your opinion. If

485
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 2: you're a quote unquote reporter that seriously, if you only

486
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 2: talk to agents, like you're very, very biased. Who are

487
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 2: the people making the decisions? What do they tell you?

488
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 2: In business? You want to be a sales guy, get

489
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 2: to the decision maker, right, whether that's the secretary or

490
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,479
Speaker 2: whether that's you know, the guy pulling the trigger. But

491
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 2: unless you get to the decision maker, you're wasting breath.

492
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 2: But you're just wasting your time. And ultimately, the people

493
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 2: that coach this up and sign and cut and get

494
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 2: rid of and add these players are the people in

495
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 2: the front office, and none of those guys are involved

496
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 2: in the league. So the hip drop tackle to me

497
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 2: just feels very stupid. It really does, because I don't

498
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 2: think it's malicious. Even the thing that happened to Mark

499
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 2: Andrews that wasn't malicious at all. He was just, I

500
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 2: don't know, trying to tackle the guy. Now, I totally

501
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 2: understand if you're like doing a three sixty barrel roll

502
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 2: like you're an alligator or a crocodile. Once you're connected,

503
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 2: yeah that's a little shady. It's no different than like

504
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 2: when the guy's on the ground and you twist their foot.

505
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 2: I don't really see that happening, but clearly this is

506
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 2: gonna be a point emphasis and they're gonna go at

507
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 2: it in the very very near future, which I just

508
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 2: think is a mistake. A couple of NFL newsy things.

509
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 2: You just go to Rohtal World, which is where I

510
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 2: just kind of go through to see injuries. It is

511
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 2: crazy how many guys on good teams are hurt. I

512
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 2: just listen. It's the NFL. It's the middle of December.

513
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 2: Every team is injured. Even if your guys are playing,

514
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 2: they are banged up, but you get countless guys that

515
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 2: can't practice that are game time decisions. This is really

516
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 2: a time of year when your GM and your front

517
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 2: office need to thrive because the practice squad. My guy,

518
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 2: Steven Spock, who played at Fresno State and played in

519
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,959
Speaker 2: the league for a while, I played golf of them

520
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago. He's a listener of the podcast,

521
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 2: and he was telling me his first year, you know,

522
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 2: he made the team with the Philadelphia Eagles, Terrell Owens

523
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 2: last year when he got went to the you know,

524
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 2: the driveway with Rosenhaus. But back when I even you know,

525
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 2: ten years ago in the NFL, it wasn't Honestly, it's

526
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 2: less than that practice squad. The moment you made a

527
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 2: team and started playing in real games, whether you were

528
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 2: on a shitty team, whether you were just an undrafted

529
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 2: free agent and made a team, your practice squad eligibility

530
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 2: was over. So like when you see Jason Peters at

531
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 2: forty plus years old on a practice squad, that was

532
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 2: not possible up until a couple of years ago. Like

533
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 2: Josh Rosen once he played as a rookie and was terrible.

534
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 2: Historically the rules he would have been done. You either

535
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 2: have to put him on your active roster or he

536
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 2: can't be on the practice squad. He has no role.

537
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 2: He's either he either makes a fifty three or he's done. Well,

538
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 2: they've expanded the practice squads. They've thrown at the practice

539
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 2: squad of rules, and anyone can be available, right, which

540
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 2: is pretty cool. So you can find like just any

541
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 2: I can just signed Larry Fitzgerald de marm put him

542
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 2: on my practice squad if I wanted to Terrell Owens,

543
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 2: or just any player that's like JJ Watt, whoever guys

544
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 2: in the league right that get cut, I can put

545
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 2: him on my pract squad regardless of their tenure in

546
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 2: the league. And to me, the pressure right now on

547
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 2: having a practice squad of not only guys with a future,

548
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 2: but then assistant coaches. I say it all the time

549
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 2: once the season starts, that your coordinators are just so

550
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 2: focused on the game plan, and rightfully so. It's every

551
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 2: day of throughout the week, Monday through Saturday, about building

552
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 2: a game plan against my opponent. The assistant coaches are

553
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 2: much more involved like the position coach. I'm a quarterback coach,

554
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 2: d line coach, whoever. I play a role in the

555
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 2: game plan, but I also play a big role at

556
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 2: practice and working with young guys to improve them. If

557
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 2: I'm the play caller, my role as a developmental guy

558
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 2: is pretty slim to none. My head coach and a

559
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 2: lot of head coach now call plays same thing. There

560
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 2: is a ton of emphasis on the lower end guys

561
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 2: on your staff to work with these guys and have

562
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 2: them ready because on any given game, a corner and

563
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 2: a guard can shatter a leg and all of a sudden,

564
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 2: your corner and your guard on your practice squad they

565
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 2: know your plays, are they ready to go because if

566
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 2: they don't need to be as good as your starters,

567
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 2: or even if it's a backup, but they do need

568
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 2: to be functional and can they get you through a game?

569
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 2: And if you're a playoff team, can you win games

570
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 2: with them? And I think the emphasis right now now

571
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 2: around the league on all these guys that are banged up,

572
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 2: How good your practice squad? How good is your coaching

573
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 2: coaching staff at developing these guys? How good was your

574
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 2: scouting staff at identifying these guys with an upside? Because

575
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 2: that's what it comes down to. Obviously. You know the

576
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 2: high end guys, right, whether it's whoever from AJ Brown

577
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 2: to Travis Kelcey to Justin Jefferson to Deebo Samuel, those

578
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 2: guys get injured. There's any enormous Trent Williams, you name it,

579
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 2: any sweet player in the league. There is a gap

580
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 2: the mile wide. But most players are just considered average starters. Right.

581
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 2: The majority of players in the NFL are not Ceedee

582
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 2: Lamb and Mike and Parsons. They're just like the rotating

583
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 2: defensive tackle on the Cowboys. Well, what if that guy

584
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 2: breaks his leg this week? Who's the guy you have

585
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 2: a new practice squad to take a spot? Is it

586
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 2: good enough? Is he good enough to give you eighty

587
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 2: eight ninety two percent of what that backup was giving you,

588
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 2: because if he is, you're fine. If there is a

589
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 2: dramatic drop off, then there's a ripple effect and there's

590
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 2: a domino effect that can lead to a problem because

591
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 2: then you've got to play your starters more. They're already

592
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 2: worn down. That could lead the injury to that guy,

593
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 2: that could lead to him not being as effective. It's

594
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 2: just something to keep an eye on. And to me,

595
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 2: the teams, we talk about depth a lot, and for

596
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 2: most like, well, who's your backup, it's actually like what's

597
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 2: your three or four deep? And most of us, myself included,

598
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 2: don't who cares about the practice squad until you have

599
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 2: to care until three practice squad guys get brought up

600
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 2: over a two week span and they're starting and they're

601
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 2: playing roles like a right guard, a nickel corner, and

602
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 2: like you, you know your punter broke his leg. You

603
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 2: got this punter off the street, and it's like, okay,

604
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 2: this kind of matters now, and it's just something to

605
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 2: keep an eye on before we get into the bowl.

606
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 2: Take of the week. I think two teams this week

607
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 2: have a lot of pressure on them. I saw today

608
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 2: that Dan Campbell is still the betting favorite, the betting

609
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 2: favorite for Coach of the Year, which I understand because

610
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 2: if they get to twelve even thirteen wins, it's the

611
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 2: Detroit Lions. That's how many twelve plus win seasons do

612
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 2: they have in three plus decades? Not many, so I

613
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 2: get it. But let's face it, they have not been

614
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 2: good as of late. They got their ass kicked on Thanksgiving,

615
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 2: they got worked last week and mean, these are two

616
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 2: divisional games, like part of why I love the Lions,

617
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 2: where it's one thing if they play like the Cowboys

618
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 2: or the Ravens or whoever, like a good team and looise,

619
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 2: like yeah, I totally get it. It's another thing when

620
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 2: you play teams in your division, whether it at home

621
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 2: like the Green Bay game, or whether it be the

622
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 2: Chicago game on the road and get worked because Thanksgiving

623
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 2: they got worked last weekend. They got worked. That's a problem.

624
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 2: And now they're hosting Denver, which is an uncommon opponent

625
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 2: for them at home, Like you should beat this team

626
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 2: by ten plus points, Like this is a game where

627
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 2: if I'm gonna take you seriously and pick you to

628
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 2: win a playoff game, especially hosting a playoff game, because

629
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 2: when you lose as as a team hosting a playoff

630
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 2: game Minnesota last year. That sucks. I mean, that is

631
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 2: not ideal. It's time to get it together. Let's see

632
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 2: a game where you know, you win by double digits,

633
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 2: you're in complete control, you're scoring at will. Denver obviously

634
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 2: has some momentum. They've been playing much better over the

635
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 2: last couple of months. But I'm very interested in Detroit

636
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 2: this weekend. That's Saturday night game. The other game that

637
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 2: I was telling Stuckey today, my gambling guy who Action Network.

638
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 2: You see it's on the podcast obviously coming up. And

639
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 2: if you're watching this on YouTube, we had another video

640
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 2: you go watching incredible gambling picker that Miami's loss against

641
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 2: Tennessee to me is still the second worst loss of

642
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 2: the year. Now. I know statistically it's the worst loss

643
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 2: because no team three minutes ago up fifteen points, But

644
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 2: to me, Dallas losing at Arizona is just pretty bad. Now.

645
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 2: The thing with Miami is, I think a lot of

646
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 2: us never really bought in. It's like I've seen them

647
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 2: play good teams, doesn't really work out the shit out

648
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 2: of bad teams. You know, two is good, but his

649
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 2: ceiling can't really move the moment Tyreek gets hurt as

650
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 2: of recording this Wednesday, didn't practice. I expect them to play,

651
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 2: but they have a million other injuries. I don't feel

652
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 2: that good now. I'm not acting like the Jets all

653
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 2: of a sudden, what we witnessed last week is gonna

654
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 2: be the norm. I think there's a lot of pressure

655
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 2: on Miami because they lose this week. I'm sorry, I'm

656
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 2: out on them, like completely out. Like you could tell

657
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 2: me that if the Bills win, that they lose the division.

658
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 2: But this is must win, especially when you look at

659
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 2: their schedule. It's like the Cowboys, the Ravens, the Bills.

660
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,280
Speaker 2: You can't beat the Jets. I'm sorry. All of a sudden,

661
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 2: the season went from what an incredible year for the

662
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 2: Miami Dolphins to disaster potential. So I'm fascinated by this

663
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 2: game and I think that's why I'm gonna make it

664
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 2: my bold take of the week. Last week, I said

665
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 2: that the Jets not only would beat the Texans in

666
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:59,720
Speaker 2: the trap spot, but Zach Wilson would play well. And

667
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 2: I do think whenever and listen, this has happened to me.

668
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 2: I'm sure many people listening it's happened to them. Sometimes

669
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,240
Speaker 2: we can overthink stuff and put too much pressure on ourselves,

670
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 2: and it limits our ability and our capabilities at whatever

671
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 2: we're attempting to do. It almost slows you down. It's

672
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 2: why coaches say with football players like you got to

673
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 2: take the knowledge and learn it so well that you

674
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 2: can just play free. You're not even thinking you know

675
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 2: what's going on because you've studied and you've practiced hard.

676
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,879
Speaker 2: But when you're playing, you're just playing. It's very free.

677
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 2: Like anyone that plays golf knows if you're thinking about

678
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 2: seven different swing thoughts. Inside of my back swing, get

679
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 2: to the top, be slow, come inside, keep my left

680
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 2: foot that you have no shot. You just got to swing.

681
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 2: You just gotta play golf, and that's your best chance

682
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 2: at shooting a low score. I do think there's a

683
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 2: little looseness with the Jets. What do we gotta lose?

684
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 2: The other thing is like they got good players and

685
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 2: they have a really really good front. Their defensive line

686
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 2: can really get after you. And the Miami Dolphins offensive

687
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 2: line is not only atrocious win healthy. I think it's

688
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 2: pretty average at best. They have a million injuries to

689
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 2: a can't move, he's not really good against pressure. I

690
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 2: think the Jets win this week, and I think, all

691
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 2: of a sudden, it is a five ault alarm fire

692
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 2: with the Miami Dolphins. So my ball take of the week.

693
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 2: I'm not putting predictions on Zach, but it might be

694
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 2: a weather game. But I think the Jets back to

695
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 2: back weeks take out playoff teams, and all of a sudden,

696
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 2: we're talking what the hell is going on with the

697
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 2: Miami Dolphins. This is the ball take of the Week,

720
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 2: it again with my main man, Stucky, who his Ravens

721
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 2: got a big win. He watched the Brownies that that

722
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 2: one was tight, but that that two point conversion, you know,

723
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 2: saved a lot of people. You could argue the Seattle

724
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 2: game for anyone that gambled and had money before some

725
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 2: news broke and that line started ripping. I heard someone

726
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 2: say that it closed it like close to sixteen. When

727
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 2: we were talking, it was like ten and a half eleven,

728
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 2: So Drew Lock will do that to you. Obviously, sixteen

729
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 2: even would Drew Lock'd be very tempting as well, but

730
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,839
Speaker 2: that's we'll throw that one out. Bears. Shit, they look

731
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 2: good and like we said, the Brownies, that was a

732
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 2: weird game. But hey, you know, if you got them

733
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 2: at three points, you feel pretty good about it. Stucky,

734
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 2: what's up, bro?

735
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 1: Go on? Yeah, I'm lawns. Like I didn't think is

736
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: gonna play. Would have been almost double screwed on quarterback news.

737
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,439
Speaker 1: But he played looked okay. But they had some other

738
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: injuries and it was a crazy weekend in the NFL.

739
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: I'll sum it up with these stats. Mahomes was forty

740
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:20,280
Speaker 1: six and two when the Chiefs opponent didn't reach twenty

741
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 1: one points lost. Wallace walk off punt return for the

742
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: Ravens never returned to punt the NFL. Before last week,

743
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: Titans first team ever to be down fourteen with less

744
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: than two to fifty five to go and win in regulation.

745
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,280
Speaker 1: NFL team scoring three or fewer points since two thousand

746
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: and eight were zero in two hundred and fifty five.

747
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 1: Until the Vikings Steelers, first team ever over five hundred

748
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: to lose back to back games at least to teams

749
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: with it at least five games under five hundred, unders

750
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,479
Speaker 1: had hit thirty five straight times after a scoreless first

751
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 1: half that went out the window with Jets, Texans NFC

752
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: Nafty Players of the Week Zach Wilson, Tommy DeVito. Quarterbacks

753
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: to win a game last week Wilson, de Vito, Zappi, Browning, Flacco,

754
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 1: Mullins crazy NFL times right.

755
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 2: Now really is uh? You were at the Browns game, correct,

756
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 2: you end up doing what's your take on the Joe

757
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 2: Flacco thirty eight year old gray Beard experience for the

758
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 2: Browns quarterback?

759
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I've I've He's won me a lot

760
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: of money in that stadium backing him, going as a

761
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 1: Ravens fan. It was very surreal being there, and then

762
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,720
Speaker 1: everyone else rooting for him.

763
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 2: Well, even the even the Browns posted he wins a

764
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 2: lot in this house.

765
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:34,879
Speaker 1: Ten and two now and ten and two against the spread. Yeah,

766
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: I mean he's their best option. He still has a

767
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: rocket arm. Man. You have a lot of these quarterbacks

768
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: that have been drafted recently that it's you know, you

769
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 1: kind of want to get more mobile. Guy like Flaco

770
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: has a stronger arm than half of them. He can

771
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: still get it out there. And yeah, it was it

772
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,919
Speaker 1: was a fun game. And then after. I didn't even

773
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 1: think that they would go You know, I should have

774
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: known that that Doug would do something like that. You know,

775
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: it's kind of like going for two, which won the

776
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: Titans the game, going for two down two touchdowns. We

777
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: left the stadium. We were like, let's go. We had

778
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: a reserved We had some you know, preserve booth at

779
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: the casino for the four o'clock games, and we left

780
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: the stadium with and I said, oh wait, they might

781
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 1: go for two. Let me pull this up on my

782
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: on my phone. So I pulled up the stream and

783
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: we watched it and sweated as we were walking to

784
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: the casino. But then I get there with a group

785
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: of with a you know, a group of friends who

786
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: are Browns fans, and I'm sitting there just in shock

787
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 1: because they are having a legit combo by the way,

788
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: but they are having a real heated discussion about whether

789
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco the same guy Jo Flacca. They used to

790
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: tell me it's terrible back in you know, ten years ago,

791
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: when he was twenty eight. Is Joe Flacco a guy

792
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 1: they signed off the street making league minimum? Is he

793
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:53,399
Speaker 1: better than Deshaun Watson who they gave a billion dollars too,

794
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: And I just had to sit back and laugh and

795
00:41:55,719 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: enjoying that conversation because it might be true. So yeah,

796
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: that was very entertaining to hear after hearing Cleveland Fence

797
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: would always trash Flaco and now he's their savior after

798
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: coming off the street and the Watson trade might go

799
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 1: down as one of the worst in sports history.

800
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 2: You read some of these stories. They sure like him

801
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 2: a lot in a short period of time. Now he's

802
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 2: you would say, one thing, Flacco's always held, you know,

803
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 2: hung his hat on like a lot of the quarterbacks

804
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 2: of his generation, the Rivers, the breeze, like they were

805
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 2: beloved by their teammates, like their dude guys like him.

806
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 2: I'm not saying they don't like Deshan, but it's it's

807
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 2: a weird situation, you know. And if your quarterback, I

808
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 2: just think that's one position that if he's not like

809
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:41,879
Speaker 2: beloved when he walks in the in the room, because

810
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 2: let's face it, like Aaron Rodgers somewhat of an outlier,

811
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 2: and even him, I think that was a little overplayed.

812
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 2: But the Mannings, the Brady's, I mean, you see it

813
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 2: right now with obviously party, I mean those guys love

814
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 2: them mahomes Alan. I just that's something that if I'm

815
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 2: a Browns fan, I'd be a little nervous. But on

816
00:42:58,840 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 2: the bright side.

817
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,240
Speaker 1: Throw Lamar in there, like all these top.

818
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Lamar is a great example. I mean, Dak most

819
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 2: of the top guys cousins like. It feels like he

820
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 2: started really resonating with his teammates before these last couple

821
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,879
Speaker 2: of years. Uh, they talk about it feels like they

822
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 2: like Tua. But that loss. You know, if you're telling

823
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 2: me that it turns out you look at that schedule.

824
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 2: I think they go Jet, Jets, Cowboys, Ravens, Bills. I mean,

825
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 2: if they're the three seed and they're playing this team,

826
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 2: the Browns as a six seed, you're telling me, you

827
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,800
Speaker 2: Flacco that defense against Tua, they're not gonna be a

828
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 2: lot of money flowing toward the Brownies.

829
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, if the Dolphins was this week and that's

830
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 1: not one of my games. But we don't know who's

831
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: gonna play for them yet. We'll say they had a

832
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 1: couple dad a bunch of defenders that are hurt. They

833
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,879
Speaker 1: lost their center for the season. Toron Arms said their

834
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: left tackle was out last week. He's we don't know

835
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: if he's gonna play. Their guard's definitely out, their other

836
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,240
Speaker 1: guard might be out. Tyreek Hill is he gonna plays?

837
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:00,439
Speaker 1: He canna be healthy. It's a whole different team with him.

838
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: So all those injuries say they're down three or four

839
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: offensive linemen and Tyree Kill doesn't play against that Jets

840
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 1: defense in thirty to forty mile an hour. Wins could change,

841
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:11,879
Speaker 1: but that's what it's projected now. I mean that game

842
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: could be you know, you lose that game if it's

843
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 1: just a weird weather game and to under pressure, just

844
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: it could be under pressure the whole time. And yeah,

845
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 1: without Tyreek Kill, they just look lost. They lose that game,

846
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,280
Speaker 1: they'd I mean, yeah, the Bills, all of a sudden,

847
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 1: everything's turning off. Buffalo Bills. They're live for the division

848
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 1: because they all they got to do is get one

849
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: game back because they already beat them by the finale.

850
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 1: And so Buffalo wins this week and Miami loses somehow,

851
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: or you know, Miami loses to Baltimore. Because of that loss,

852
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 1: Buffalo controls its own destiny for the division. If the

853
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: Dolphins dropped just one more game before that regular season finale,

854
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 1: and you just mentioned the schedule, it's one of the

855
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: hardest in the NFL with a ton of injuries. Now

856
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: just a horrible loss. And yeah, the Ravens can now

857
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:06,720
Speaker 1: you can even afford to drop a game before that Dolphins.

858
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: The one seat now becomes a much more difficult path.

859
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's uh, just just a terrible, terrible loss

860
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins, and yeah, you can't really watch that

861
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:21,760
Speaker 1: team and believe in them just yet, or at least myself.

862
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 2: Okay, let's let's transition to the Bills game, because I

863
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 2: gotta be the best game on the schedule. It's just

864
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 2: it doesn't get much better, especially now that the Bills

865
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 2: have a little life. Were you at the casino when

866
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 2: that moment happened with Kelsey? Yeah, what was the reaction

867
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:38,720
Speaker 2: by everyone in the book?

868
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: Well, most people at the Chiefs, I think more a

869
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 1: lot of people had had the Chiefs, especially because I

870
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: think went down to like one, so everyone went nuts.

871
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: And I was with a bunch of people that you know,

872
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: a lot of them like, well, follow my bets and

873
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 1: some of them had the Bills. Else I just thought

874
00:45:55,320 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: of us, we all had the Bills. So my first

875
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 1: reaction was they it's the uh, Championship. Yep. I tweeted

876
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:10,479
Speaker 1: it out too. I was like, there's too much time,

877
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 1: and I was first I was shocked by that play.

878
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my gosh, that just happened. But

879
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:19,439
Speaker 1: then the flag came out, so everyone was like, oh wait, wait, wait,

880
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 1: and then there was just chaos and then they went

881
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 1: like this, So I just fell off the offside signal, Like,

882
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,839
Speaker 1: you know, you get that off side offense five times

883
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: a year. I think it happened like once two years ago,

884
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:34,919
Speaker 1: three times last year, and then it's been a point

885
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 1: of them's this year. They've called it a lot clearly times,

886
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: I know. So they went like this and I just

887
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 1: and I didn't even look, and my friend hit me

888
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: in the chest and said, no, dude, it's all sides offense.

889
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: I was so confused, obviously, I had a lot of beverages.

890
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 1: I was like, wait, what did I just missee that?

891
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 1: Look the Chiefs then still at second and fifteen, and

892
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 1: all the news is a field goal.

893
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:56,359
Speaker 2: So and Butker's hit a lot of big ones in his.

894
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 1: Career, so yeah, So I then I started the panic.

895
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: I was like, man, they're gonna get a field goal now,

896
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 1: and then they're gonna win the talk because this is

897
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: what the Bills do. The Bills are what like ohen,

898
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: I mean in seven and overtime. So then I was like,

899
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 1: I wish they scored. I wish they scored the touchdown.

900
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: I started taking in my head this is how you

901
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 1: know the nuts gambling is because then at least I

902
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 1: would have had Allen with the ball. I was like,

903
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: now they're going to kick a field goal with no

904
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 1: time left and then it's gonna come down to a

905
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:27,839
Speaker 1: coin toss. So roller coaster of emotions. Great game, and yeah,

906
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: those will be in another one this week. I like

907
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: them here, I like them under a field goal.

908
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,839
Speaker 2: Yeah. My take on the Bills is like, clearly their

909
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 2: quarterback is, you know, one of the more fun players

910
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 2: I think of like my life. I mean I was

911
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 2: a little young for like peak l Way. Obviously I

912
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 2: lived through far of you know, Rogers. He was incredible,

913
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 2: but it was very smooth. There was not this like

914
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 2: chaotic physicality. Do you know this guy's got like a

915
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 2: quicker Rothlisberger, but you know, just you never see anything

916
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 2: like him. It's hard for me to have much faith

917
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 2: because like they easily could be you know, several more wins,

918
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,359
Speaker 2: but all their fucking games look like that. I mean,

919
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 2: all their games kind of well out. They're like the

920
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 2: better version of the Chargers. You know, the Chargers for

921
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 2: like a decade have just been losing. They win a

922
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 2: decent amount of these, but like, and I understand they

923
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:21,879
Speaker 2: were like fifty to one to win the Super Bowl

924
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:23,359
Speaker 2: a couple weeks ago, and I get it, like because

925
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 2: the quarterback. I just have a don't have much faith that,

926
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 2: like one that they easily could drop one of these

927
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 2: next four games in a game that looks exactly like

928
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,880
Speaker 2: it could screw them, or a playoff game, they'll just

929
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 2: get the most devastating loss you'll ever see. They're the

930
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 2: new Chargers on steroids.

931
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 1: Yep. Now I look, and I don't have anything they're

932
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: playing really well. I faded them on this show and

933
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 1: just in life, I think five weeks in a row

934
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:48,399
Speaker 1: when and every week I would just tell you about

935
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: the defensive injuries, the defensive injuries, the market's not capturing them. Well,

936
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 1: you know, then the market kind of bottomed out on them.

937
00:48:54,280 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 1: I remember this was before the Eagles get Everyone was like,

938
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 1: Allen's done, this team's terrible. I was like, so the

939
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,399
Speaker 1: market went way too far that the way they sign

940
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:07,880
Speaker 1: Rsul Douglas. He's been great. That's helped really plug up

941
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: one corner spot. Mcdermot's made some schematic changes, and some

942
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 1: other guys have gotten more comfortable, like over time. It's

943
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 1: been a month and a half, that's what happens.

944
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 2: So Cook makes way more plays now than he did,

945
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 2: you know, last year.

946
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 1: The offensive line is playing really well. Joe Brady's been

947
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 1: great as their new offensive coordinator, and the team's rallied.

948
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 1: I have nothing bad to say about Dallas since that

949
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 1: San Francisco came out. We really have to to buy.

950
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:34,760
Speaker 1: I haven't wanted to fade them. I've only backed them

951
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 1: because they I loved all the changes they've made on offense,

952
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:39,839
Speaker 1: like just their play calling or throwing the early down

953
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:43,359
Speaker 1: stack using his legs, which just adds another element makes

954
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 1: their offense much more difficult to defend. And then their

955
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,240
Speaker 1: defense is you know, it's it's kind of boom or bust.

956
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: But you know, they've really adjusted in post Diggs life.

957
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 1: But I will say that the schedule has been very

958
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 1: easy if you look at all their wins, and they

959
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 1: got the Eagles in a prime spot, like you know,

960
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,800
Speaker 1: the Eagles at the end of just an exhausting run

961
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: and they were beat up. Dallas had extra rest at home,

962
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,920
Speaker 1: and Dallas has been so dominant at home. This is

963
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: a you know, my things might not be as easy

964
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:15,919
Speaker 1: on the road outdoors in Buffalo in December, in front

965
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 1: of which should be a raucous crowd. I'm going to

966
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 1: trust just Allen and this desperate Bills team that's starting

967
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 1: to peak to get it done. And for what it's worth,

968
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 1: if you're into trends over the past twenty seasons, underdogs

969
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 1: in December or January that have a winning percentage of

970
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:39,439
Speaker 1: seventy five percent or more, which the Cowboys do. They're

971
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 1: just twenty nine forty nine and two against the spread.

972
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 1: That's thirty seven percent sixteen thirty seven and two when

973
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:54,239
Speaker 1: they're on a multiple game winning streak thirty percent. So yeah,

974
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:56,320
Speaker 1: I think that this is the time to sell high

975
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 1: on Dallas after that big win going outdoors in Buffalo,

976
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 1: I'm going to trust Allen and then to get it done.

977
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:04,359
Speaker 1: This isn't really like I don't have much. I don't

978
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: know any bad things to say about the way Dallas

979
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:08,360
Speaker 1: is playing right now, but I'm going to trust the

980
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:11,360
Speaker 1: spot in the way that the Bills are playing right now,

981
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 1: and I think Allen Company get it done, but I

982
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 1: think it will be a competitive game.

983
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 2: To me, the crazy thing is, like you said the

984
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:23,359
Speaker 2: stat to start off about that Tennessee Miami loss, which

985
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:25,799
Speaker 2: you know, statistically is probably the worst loss given the

986
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 2: way it happened with a couple of minutes left being

987
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 2: up that much. But I don't take Miami. I guess

988
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 2: that they were hosting the one seed. You know, you

989
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 2: wouldn't just say they have no chance against the Ravens,

990
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 2: the Chiefs or whatever. But I was never going to

991
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:41,320
Speaker 2: pick them to make the super Bowl out of the AFC.

992
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, even if they were home and maybe call

993
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 2: me a hater. To me, Dallas is a super Bowl

994
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 2: level team if they had the number one seed. And

995
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 2: I think that Arizona game is the worst loss of

996
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 2: the year factoring in like if you don't take Miami

997
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 2: as a legit super Bowl contender, that that loss was

998
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 2: statistically worse because Dallas just got their ass kicked in

999
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 2: that game. But like that's that to me. Like in

1000
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 2: this game against the Bills, they still have a lot

1001
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:08,880
Speaker 2: to play for now. You know this probably is the

1002
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 2: only losable game for the Eagles, right long, fly Seattle.

1003
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 2: But I don't know, I feel like Seattle's kind of imploding.

1004
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:20,240
Speaker 2: Maybe you say one of those Giants games, Well maybe

1005
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:23,439
Speaker 2: this upcoming, you know, the following week off a short week.

1006
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 2: The Giants have nothing to lose to veto Mania. But

1007
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean that Dallas, that Dallas Arizona loss.

1008
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 2: I mean, they would have two losses right now, granted

1009
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 2: to be the Eagles and Niners, but they would have

1010
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:35,959
Speaker 2: been the one seed. They would have just more room

1011
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 2: to breathe. These games all matteral, I mean, there's a

1012
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 2: lot on the line for both these two teams.

1013
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think that Dallas the way that Dallas

1014
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 1: that offense at home too, and there's still you know,

1015
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 1: there's still just a little more finesse to me.

1016
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:55,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, they don't have a big power running back.

1017
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:57,919
Speaker 2: You know, Paul is much more of a space guy.

1018
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:00,360
Speaker 2: That young guy they got from South Carol Line is

1019
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 2: actually not a bad but they would really like obviously

1020
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 2: Zeke and his pride, but just a physical back for

1021
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 2: this type game, right fuck, they just ram it down

1022
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 2: their throat, control of the clock, But that's not really

1023
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:11,880
Speaker 2: how they play.

1024
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, so which I think makes them you know, that

1025
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 1: one seed, not only do you get a buye, but

1026
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:23,800
Speaker 1: them playing at home more important than I think the Eagles.

1027
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:25,799
Speaker 1: I think the Eagles need it more this year because

1028
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:27,360
Speaker 1: they got to get healthy and they need to like

1029
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: now that they will get the rest. I guess with

1030
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 1: this with this schedule, but yeah, I think Dallas ultimately

1031
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 1: needs it more than San Francisco or Philadelphia. I think

1032
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 1: that the Lions would need it more than any to

1033
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:43,400
Speaker 1: even have a prayer. I mean, golf has to be

1034
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 1: indoors and that defense is terrible. They're not going to

1035
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 1: get it, so you can write them off. So then

1036
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:51,279
Speaker 1: it's like the NFC, this is a three team race

1037
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 1: and I think Dallas would need to get that. And yeah,

1038
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: you bring up that Arizona loss. Now this if the

1039
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:04,840
Speaker 1: season ended to day the Eagles at the Eagles, the

1040
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys would have won the division. But the way the

1041
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 1: schedule breaks, if they said it both went out, then

1042
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 1: the Eagles would get the one seed because they're they

1043
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:18,880
Speaker 1: both would have they would have split lost to them,

1044
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: and then the Eagles lost to the Jets. The Cowboys

1045
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:24,880
Speaker 1: lost the cards, so that could ultimately do them in

1046
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:29,880
Speaker 1: for the Division for a one seed, and then ultimately,

1047
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:31,720
Speaker 1: you know, chance at the Super Bowl.

1048
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 2: I think one thing's looming. We'll get to Detroit. I

1049
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 2: know you kind of like them this week. I mean

1050
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:40,400
Speaker 2: they've been leaking major oil. They get the Denver Broncos

1051
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 2: on Saturday night, but they have a game now. We

1052
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 2: don't know, you know, the wild card situation in the

1053
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 2: In the NFC, there's like seventy five teams with six

1054
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 2: and seven records. Based on the way they're playing, I

1055
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 2: would say Green Bay in the Rams would be the

1056
00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 2: best two teams if assuming that their QUARTERBA and guys

1057
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 2: are healthy. I think there's a chance if one of

1058
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 2: those two teams has some momentum coming in and they're

1059
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 2: the sixth seed, a lot of people are picking that

1060
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:10,800
Speaker 2: team against the Lions in Round one. What do you

1061
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:11,400
Speaker 2: think about that?

1062
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 1: Yeah? Absolutely, I agree.

1063
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:16,440
Speaker 2: Now, if it's one of the NFC South teams, maybe

1064
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 2: you know, like Tampa or something, maybe it's a little different.

1065
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 2: But if it's to me, if it's the Rams or

1066
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 2: the Packers, I think there would be a lot of

1067
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 2: momentum people picking them and like legitimately betting a lot

1068
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 2: of money on them.

1069
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that the NFC could break a lot of different ways,

1070
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: and I hope, just from a viewing perspective, we get

1071
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 1: the Rams and the Packers in the Vikings just don't

1072
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:43,880
Speaker 1: have a quarterback now, Brian Ford is at a tremendous

1073
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 1: job of that defense. And then no one needs to

1074
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:52,239
Speaker 1: see multiple NFC South teams not a soul. So yeah,

1075
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 1: I hope that those two teams get in.

1076
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 2: They had pretty big swing losses on this weekend. I

1077
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 2: mean both those two wins for those two teams would

1078
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:03,359
Speaker 2: have I don't want to say sure they were in,

1079
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 2: but holy shit, how would they not? I would have

1080
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:07,759
Speaker 2: given them that. That's they're kind of a behind the

1081
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 2: eight ball a little bit.

1082
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:12,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the thing to note is that the Rams

1083
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:20,359
Speaker 1: had to start who was the ripping at Kareem Bay? Yeah,

1084
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:22,799
Speaker 1: so they lost that. So Green Bay is a tiebreaker

1085
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,400
Speaker 1: of them, which is worth noting. Now if it's multiple teams,

1086
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 1: that could get a little messy. But yeah, I agree,

1087
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:28,360
Speaker 1: I think those two teams.

1088
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:32,359
Speaker 2: Stafford was fucking awesome against the Ravens. He looked like

1089
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 2: peak Detroit Lion. Just badass.

1090
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:39,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, unbelievable. And then even if you get the Rams,

1091
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 1: you know the Rams at the Eagles in that you know,

1092
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 1: as the two seed ran, like, that'd be a great

1093
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:50,880
Speaker 1: that the way that secondary is playing, Rams would have

1094
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 1: a shot. So yeah, I hope that you know, those

1095
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:57,800
Speaker 1: three road teams that we get in the first round, Packers,

1096
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 1: Rams and then either Eagles or Cowboys. The same thing

1097
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:03,959
Speaker 1: with the AFC though, like the AFC we could get

1098
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 1: you know, if the Bills don't if we could get

1099
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:09,799
Speaker 1: the Bills in there, or you know, you could end

1100
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 1: up getting like the you know, the you could get

1101
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 1: the Steelers or the Notes.

1102
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 2: Or I just I want Bills Browns and then whoever

1103
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 2: the best version of the third team is.

1104
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, if it's like the Texans off, it's stroud. But

1105
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 1: exactly so, Yeah, there's there's a lot to be decided

1106
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 1: the final few weeks. Uh, there's gonna be It's gonna

1107
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 1: be fun. And you know, here's the thing. Do you

1108
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 1: remember every year you gonna tell yourself this is an

1109
00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: NFL fan. You know you can look at the schedules.

1110
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 1: I always go in the playoffs stimulator and even in

1111
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 1: Week eighteen, what it used to be Week seventy. One

1112
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 1: of my favorite things to bet is against the teams

1113
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 1: that need to win against he's playing for nothing, still professional,

1114
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 1: still playing for their job. And then usually the lines

1115
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 1: are inflated because everyone is just baggest team that needs

1116
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:57,479
Speaker 1: to win. There will be many more Dolphins Titans. Maybe

1117
00:57:57,480 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 1: that not that big of a spread, but there will

1118
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 1: be many more team teams that go down that need

1119
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 1: to win. And there's a long way to go.

1120
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 2: So are you out? I know you like Detroit minus

1121
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 2: four at home against Sean Payton and Russell Wilson. Are

1122
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 2: you out on the Broncos?

1123
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean I just think this is a good

1124
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:17,880
Speaker 1: a good number one goss at home indoors. Their offense

1125
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 1: is going to look dramatically better. I mean they said, look,

1126
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 1: they've gone four and two. They hadn't looked great. They

1127
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 1: are two losses. They were negative six turnover margin, one

1128
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 1: of ten on fourth down, uh in their two losses.

1129
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 1: This is mainly so golf indoors. Offen should look better.

1130
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 1: I think Rag now their center will be back. He's important,

1131
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 1: and you know Goffin indoors thirty and fifteen against the

1132
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:41,000
Speaker 1: spread in his career, It's the most profitable of any quarterback.

1133
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 2: He just looks terrible on grass I mean grass, it

1134
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 2: is dark outside.

1135
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. And this Broncos team, yes, their defense. Defense

1136
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 1: has improved if you look since they gave up seventy

1137
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 1: to the Dolphins a week three. Since week four, overall

1138
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: their fourth and EPA per play, but EPA heavily weighted

1139
00:58:57,040 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 1: by turnovers. There's six wins since then. They forced eighteen turnovers.

1140
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 1: They have a plus fifteen turnover margin. If you remove

1141
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 1: turnovers and which are not predictive for the most part,

1142
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 1: there's a lot of noise, and you remove the garbage

1143
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 1: time they've played against backup quarterbacks. There's still twenty fifty

1144
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 1: PA for playing defense, thirtieth and success rate allowed. This

1145
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 1: defense has improved. It's not historically bad, but they've been

1146
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:23,840
Speaker 1: getting so lucky. And then look, let's look at all

1147
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:26,400
Speaker 1: the brakes they've gotten along the way they play the grounds.

1148
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 1: Every one of the Browns gets hurt, including their you

1149
00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 1: know you're down to PJ Walker at the end. They

1150
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 1: played the Chargers last week, the Chargers, by the way,

1151
00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 1: when oh, with thirteen on third down, one of six

1152
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 1: on fourth down, but yeah, Herbert got hurt. The game

1153
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 1: is over once that happened. They played Mahomes with the flu,

1154
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 1: who's just coughing up the ball the entire time. You know.

1155
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:47,360
Speaker 1: One of their other wins was against the Vikings and

1156
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 1: whoever the hell they had a quarterback at the time,

1157
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 1: they won on the last second touchdown. So this team

1158
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 1: has been extremely fortunate in turnovers, fourth down luck, the

1159
00:59:56,960 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that they faced, opposing team injuries, and even Tank

1160
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Dell goes down against them. So there's just a I

1161
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:06,640
Speaker 1: think this is a good by spot on the Lions

1162
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 1: at home. There's a ton of regression coming for this

1163
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:11,920
Speaker 1: Broncos team. You still you have the much better offensive

1164
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 1: the Lions. Tean Payton has done an amazing job of

1165
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 1: this offense, but the Lions indoors have a yeah, significantly

1166
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 1: better offense. So uh yeah, I'm gonna trust the lines

1167
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 1: to bounce back here.

1168
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 2: Okay, I think statistically one of the hottest defenses in

1169
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:29,080
Speaker 2: the league over the last month plus has to be

1170
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 2: the Chicago Bears. I mean, Jalen Johnson, He's definitely played

1171
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 2: himself into making a lot of money. The Montes sweat.

1172
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:41,000
Speaker 2: I still stand by, you know, trading a second rounder,

1173
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 2: especially when the second rounder is going to be high. Now,

1174
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 2: if you end up winning seven eight games. Easier to

1175
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 2: stomach because you would have to overpay to get them.

1176
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 2: No matter what you watch them, they are physical. You

1177
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:54,840
Speaker 2: can't run on them. I mean, Jalen Johnson's picking the

1178
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 2: ball off. I don't know if eber flu survives, I

1179
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 2: would doubt it, but he's definitely really proven to be

1180
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:03,480
Speaker 2: a pretty big time defensive coordinator, which he's took over.

1181
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 2: Remember when the guy got in trouble. If he's got

1182
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 2: good players. So I'm not buying the Justin Fields resurgence

1183
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 2: in the sense of like now he's just like, no,

1184
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:13,600
Speaker 2: he hits some big runs, and he hits the occasional

1185
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 2: big play, but like he skips and overthrows a lot

1186
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:20,120
Speaker 2: of balls, but he makes enough plays unlike he did

1187
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 2: early in the season that just whether it's a running touchdown,

1188
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:25,560
Speaker 2: whether it's a bomb the DJ Moore, I give him

1189
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 2: their fucking credit because that they were a franchise that easily.

1190
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 2: I mean they were getting having like guys, houses get raided,

1191
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 2: I mean, coaches quit every week. It was getting great.

1192
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:38,440
Speaker 2: Fields gets hurt, and they've showed a lot of like

1193
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:42,600
Speaker 2: just moxie and just organizational like we're not losers. So

1194
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 2: I I give the Bears a lot of credit.

1195
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:48,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bears defense playing really well. The other thing with

1196
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 1: the sweat thing. Yeahause, I agree with your stance, but

1197
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:53,360
Speaker 1: like you got him in and then you fix your

1198
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:57,240
Speaker 1: d with anyone like seven eight games, you don't get

1199
01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:59,040
Speaker 1: to the playoffs and you just all but you, so

1200
01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:01,600
Speaker 1: then you hurt your other draft picks as far as positioning,

1201
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:02,840
Speaker 1: which is something else to consider it.

1202
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 2: But I get I think I think it makes it.

1203
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 2: It makes it way easier having that Panthers thing in

1204
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:08,480
Speaker 2: their back pocket.

1205
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 1: Just no matter, you just know you have the one. Yeah,

1206
01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 1: that's true.

1207
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 2: Why I really hated it is when they made it,

1208
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:18,920
Speaker 2: they were terrible and it was a lot like the Claypool.

1209
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:21,200
Speaker 2: They ended up costing him like pick thirty four, and

1210
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:23,760
Speaker 2: I forget who oh it's like Joey Porter juniors, like

1211
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 2: they would have.

1212
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 1: Loved to have that guy. Yep. Yeah, now I agree

1213
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 1: with you. At least they signed him long term because

1214
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:33,120
Speaker 1: it exactly if that wasn't even guaranteed, which would have

1215
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 1: been historically bad trade. But yeah, defense has a complete

1216
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:39,520
Speaker 1: one to eighty since Week seven. They're fifth and EPA

1217
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:42,960
Speaker 1: per play and they haven't been You know ridiculously lucky

1218
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 1: with turnovers one spot ahead of the Browns ninth and

1219
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 1: success rate and sweat has helped provide pressure. Jalen Johnson's

1220
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:53,160
Speaker 1: by an all pro level twenty six point one passer

1221
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:56,920
Speaker 1: rating allowed on the season. Just silly stats. So you

1222
01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 1: have you know, take it. You have a guy just

1223
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 1: out debated his game to an all pro level. Definitely,

1224
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:04,360
Speaker 1: I think he's definitely top flave corner right now. And

1225
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 1: then you have a guy, you know, one of the

1226
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 1: other most other important positions is someone they can get

1227
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:11,040
Speaker 1: pressure and you you know, you have both of them.

1228
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:11,240
Speaker 2: Now.

1229
01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 1: You also got healthier and they they have good run

1230
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 1: stuffing defensive line. Then their secondary in general dealt a

1231
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 1: lot of injuries early on. So their defense is playing

1232
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 1: really well. And Gockway's out for the year. It doesn't

1233
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:25,080
Speaker 1: really matter. He's way past his prime. He but uh,

1234
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:27,760
Speaker 1: they're pretty much all healthy. Their offensive line also is healthier.

1235
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:31,560
Speaker 1: The backfield. The Browns have a ton of injuries. I mean, look,

1236
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 1: and everyone wants to crown the Browns after last week.

1237
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:38,480
Speaker 1: That's especially Cleveland fans. But they got the Jags in

1238
01:03:38,560 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 1: an ideal they have short week. They were without their

1239
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:45,120
Speaker 1: left guard, their left tackle without Christian Kirk, without multiple defenders.

1240
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 2: Quarterback had just been ben over quarterback.

1241
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:52,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you couldn't really practice all week. I was in

1242
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 1: a phenomenal spot for the Browns and they still to

1243
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:57,960
Speaker 1: barely hold on. I love Flakov and a huge Flacco

1244
01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:01,040
Speaker 1: buyer and believer's whole crew. Still he's thirty eight year

1245
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 1: old Joe Flacco, and they now have lost their third

1246
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 1: offensive tackle for the season. Dawan Jones just said, I

1247
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 1: are they already were down there to sorry deck their

1248
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:10,600
Speaker 1: center might not play. Ethan poached he left the game.

1249
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:13,720
Speaker 1: They lost Maurice Hurst, their starting defensive tackle. He's out

1250
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 1: for the year. Last week, they lost delp with their safety.

1251
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 1: Thornhill was out last week. Denzel Ward was out last week.

1252
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:22,959
Speaker 1: They lost their backup defensive tackle, Jordanelli took concussion last week. Okaronquo,

1253
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 1: one of their other backup defensive linemen, went down with

1254
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 1: an injury last week. I mean, you can go on

1255
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:30,000
Speaker 1: and on. The injuries that the brown suffered last week,

1256
01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 1: and we're already dealing with are massive and now along

1257
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:35,960
Speaker 1: the offensive line with Flacco who is not mobile, and

1258
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:38,720
Speaker 1: you can't really run on the Bears. So yeah, I

1259
01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:41,840
Speaker 1: think the Browns at minus three and a half getting

1260
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:45,080
Speaker 1: too much love here in the market. I'll happily take

1261
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:47,320
Speaker 1: this confident Bears team. And one thing to note with

1262
01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:51,720
Speaker 1: Justin Fields is if you go back to the Bears,

1263
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:54,720
Speaker 1: I mean the look the Brown's defense has been great

1264
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:59,120
Speaker 1: all year. Some weird results on the road, but especially

1265
01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 1: at home. But quarterbacks who can maneuver and run and

1266
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 1: evade that pressure have given them. Mobile quarterbacks have given

1267
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 1: the missies this year, so Fields at least has that.

1268
01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 1: You don't want a statuesque quarterback in Cleveland with that pressure.

1269
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:18,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think a plus they're and a half

1270
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:19,000
Speaker 1: Bearson play.

1271
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:21,320
Speaker 2: I just wanted to touch on this game before we

1272
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:23,280
Speaker 2: get out of here. We talked about a little bit

1273
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:26,400
Speaker 2: about the Dolphins, but are you buying any of this Jets.

1274
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:29,440
Speaker 2: I'm sure you saw the quotes. Zach just said, ef

1275
01:05:29,600 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 2: it that was their mentality. Now, the first half it

1276
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 2: was zero to zero. He was awesome in the second half.

1277
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:40,480
Speaker 2: But it's not like he just played some throw start

1278
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:44,040
Speaker 2: to finish ball in game. But maybe they have a

1279
01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:47,960
Speaker 2: little life Miami short week. Is that kind of a

1280
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 2: sucker spot or is that, like, you know, the Dolphins

1281
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 2: better be careful because now Tyreek's a little banged up.

1282
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:56,280
Speaker 2: They just I mean, that was a devastating l but

1283
01:05:56,400 --> 01:05:58,960
Speaker 2: it is, and it's a divisional opponent. Things get weird.

1284
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:01,640
Speaker 2: I don't really know what to make of the Jets.

1285
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:06,080
Speaker 2: I would probably stay away, but you know, I'm tempted.

1286
01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:08,480
Speaker 1: Yeah I would. I would probably say way, I mean,

1287
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 1: you want to you always just want to remind yourself. Look,

1288
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:11,880
Speaker 1: teams aren't as good as bad as they look the

1289
01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:14,960
Speaker 1: previous week. So then like it's easy to fall into this.

1290
01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 1: The Dolphins suck, look at the Jets last week. Let's

1291
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 1: bet the Jets. But I will say with there's a

1292
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 1: lot of unknown right now, I might. I might by

1293
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:24,400
Speaker 1: the Jets. I wouldn't lay it with the Dolphins, but

1294
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:26,000
Speaker 1: I want to see who plays the Dolphins. Like the Dolphins,

1295
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 1: like I said, they could be ot thee offensive lineman

1296
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 1: Ivy Kill could be Eric. They have a bunch of defenders.

1297
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:32,600
Speaker 2: That eight and a half is a lot of points

1298
01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:34,440
Speaker 2: for a team to get pressure in a quarterback that

1299
01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 2: can't avoid pressure with And.

1300
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:39,080
Speaker 1: Now they're out there there their centers definitely out and uh,

1301
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:41,440
Speaker 1: they don't really have a backup. You saw the Titans

1302
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:44,520
Speaker 1: just get pressure every play. And if Hill's out, I

1303
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:46,440
Speaker 1: want to see if Javon Holland plays. Because the Dolphins

1304
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 1: at Denver down, they've lost both their safeties last week.

1305
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:51,680
Speaker 1: They've lost two linebackers that are out now, Uh, they

1306
01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:55,080
Speaker 1: already lost their defensive end one of the best pass

1307
01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:59,120
Speaker 1: games Phillips Phillips. So their defense is getting just decimated

1308
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:01,080
Speaker 1: by injuries. Now you're offen the line and then maybe

1309
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:04,040
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. And I can tell you this Miami offense

1310
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:09,080
Speaker 1: with Tyreek Hill, the difference between with them without Tyreek

1311
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:12,560
Speaker 1: Hill is night and day. You go from having to

1312
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:18,600
Speaker 1: defend Tyreek Hill to River Craycraft. It cannot be more

1313
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:20,360
Speaker 1: of a difference. And then because of that, you can

1314
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:21,920
Speaker 1: defend everyone else a lot easier.

1315
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:24,040
Speaker 2: Stack the box a little more. You know, you have

1316
01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:25,080
Speaker 2: to run, you.

1317
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 1: Could double waddle a lot easier, and then you can

1318
01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:31,920
Speaker 1: get pressure onto it to it. You know, he's just

1319
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 1: not an elite quarterback that's gonna win you games by himself.

1320
01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:39,160
Speaker 2: So can't avoid. You can't avoid. He's not great against

1321
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:43,360
Speaker 2: pressure because he's not like he's not for being athletic. No,

1322
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:45,400
Speaker 2: you think when you see him like he's gonna be

1323
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 2: some mobile kind of movement. It's not he's a pot.

1324
01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:50,720
Speaker 2: He's closer to Jared Goff than I think the casual

1325
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:51,520
Speaker 2: fan realizes.

1326
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:54,560
Speaker 1: I agree, I completely agree. Yeah, so those offensive line

1327
01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:58,040
Speaker 1: injuries are devastating. So yeah, and then throwing the weather,

1328
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:00,200
Speaker 1: that's the you know, thirty mine hour wins, that's that's

1329
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:04,120
Speaker 1: the ultimate equalizer. So if the weather ends up being

1330
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:07,560
Speaker 1: as of right now, Miami by far, and there's games

1331
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:10,600
Speaker 1: in the Northeast in September, but Miami by far has

1332
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:15,360
Speaker 1: the worst pronounced Wednesday, things could change drastically. There was

1333
01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:16,800
Speaker 1: a chance last week that the Cleveland game was going

1334
01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:19,240
Speaker 1: to forty to forty mile an hour sustained wins part

1335
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:21,759
Speaker 1: of project, especially near Lake Effect. But as of right now,

1336
01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:24,839
Speaker 1: this Miami game, thirty to forty mile hour wins possible,

1337
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 1: which basically take a make a game close to unplayable

1338
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:33,320
Speaker 1: from a passing perspective, which would just increase the variance.

1339
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:36,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think it's Jets or nothing. But I

1340
01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:38,000
Speaker 1: I want to see who's playing for Miami later in

1341
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:38,320
Speaker 1: the week.

1342
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:43,679
Speaker 2: How shitty do offensive football need to be played to

1343
01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 2: score three total points in a dome?

1344
01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1345
01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:52,520
Speaker 2: I longest zero zero longest zero zero tie.

1346
01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:57,400
Speaker 1: Before the merger. Yeah, there were somehow was forty eight

1347
01:08:57,400 --> 01:08:59,800
Speaker 1: games an NFL issuer that have ended zero zero. They've

1348
01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:01,599
Speaker 1: all happened before nineteen thirty seven.

1349
01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:06,000
Speaker 2: I probably probably weren't many domes back then, right, No,

1350
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:09,840
Speaker 2: this is like I don't know forward pass, there's no

1351
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:10,479
Speaker 2: forward pass.

1352
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:17,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, in a dome zero zero I mean

1353
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:21,719
Speaker 1: three to nothing final, we might not ever see it again.

1354
01:09:22,520 --> 01:09:26,760
Speaker 2: No, no, we will not. Okay, Stucky, well, have a

1355
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:30,560
Speaker 2: great week and uh that listen that I like the

1356
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:33,840
Speaker 2: Chicago play, I don't. I just don't know what to

1357
01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:36,760
Speaker 2: make a Denver, but I'm with you, like they've hit

1358
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:39,360
Speaker 2: two or three big plays on offense that have made

1359
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:42,479
Speaker 2: the game probably, I mean like bombs. You know. Now,

1360
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:45,360
Speaker 2: Sutton's really good player, but I yeah, I think they're

1361
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:48,240
Speaker 2: a tad bit overrated. And the Bill's cowboy game man.

1362
01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:50,760
Speaker 2: That's that's a big spot. Dat goes in there and wins,

1363
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:54,519
Speaker 2: throws three touchdowns. I think it'll be hard for him

1364
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:56,320
Speaker 2: not to be the most valuable player in the league.

1365
01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:58,320
Speaker 2: You know, that's there's gonna be a lot of people

1366
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:00,559
Speaker 2: watching that game. You know, people like he's good in

1367
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:03,280
Speaker 2: the Dome, he lost the Niners. It's like he wins

1368
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:05,720
Speaker 2: that game. I think he would get I think he

1369
01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 2: is the betting favorite.

1370
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:10,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, those things, I will tell you those things. Historically,

1371
01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:13,280
Speaker 1: I can tell you for fact, ten years in a row,

1372
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:15,920
Speaker 1: the MVP has gone to the quarterback with a buye.

1373
01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:17,880
Speaker 1: And now there's only two every year, but that's happened

1374
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:19,719
Speaker 1: ten years in a row. Last time that didn't happen

1375
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:22,679
Speaker 1: was Adrian Peterson twenty twelve. And they usually come down.

1376
01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:24,960
Speaker 1: You'll see the odds go all over the place with

1377
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:29,280
Speaker 1: these results the last three weeks. And if Purdy gets

1378
01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:32,680
Speaker 1: to buy and he beat Dak, and you got to

1379
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:39,280
Speaker 1: remember party Lamar New Year's Eve, So that's you have

1380
01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:42,920
Speaker 1: this Dak, you have this Dack for you know, everyone's

1381
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:44,040
Speaker 1: gonna watch it national TV.

1382
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:48,639
Speaker 2: No Christmas Day, I think Christmas Day, Christmas Day, Yeah,

1383
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:50,800
Speaker 2: then that game too, so everyone's gonna be home.

1384
01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:53,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. So then that that becomes your you know, it's

1385
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:56,040
Speaker 1: your recency, boys. And then you know, if he gets

1386
01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:57,400
Speaker 1: the ones, he beat Dak, and then a lot of

1387
01:10:57,479 --> 01:10:59,040
Speaker 1: the you know, if he out plays Lamar, I think

1388
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:03,200
Speaker 1: the also if Lamar, if they get the one seed,

1389
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:06,080
Speaker 1: and you know Dak were to lose one or two

1390
01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:10,720
Speaker 1: games and Lamar were to win at sant Fran out

1391
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:12,719
Speaker 1: played Party and put up great numbers.

1392
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:15,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, three touchdowns and a rushing touchdown.

1393
01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:18,920
Speaker 1: He would skyrocket. Uh. Now, they have a hard schedule.

1394
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:22,600
Speaker 1: They pretty much got to beat like Miami, Jacksonville and

1395
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:24,400
Speaker 1: San Fran. I think for Lamar to have a chance,

1396
01:11:24,400 --> 01:11:25,960
Speaker 1: and he's got to get touchdowns a lot of times,

1397
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:29,360
Speaker 1: like they'll run running touchdowns. But I think he and

1398
01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:31,600
Speaker 1: then Allen is the wild card if you're looking for

1399
01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:36,800
Speaker 1: a long shot. If Allan wins out and he has

1400
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:37,559
Speaker 1: this really.

1401
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:39,439
Speaker 2: Hard seen touchdowns in that.

1402
01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:43,280
Speaker 1: Street and he already has the numbers, so he's I

1403
01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:44,960
Speaker 1: think he's the long shot. So I think, yeah, it's

1404
01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:49,479
Speaker 1: Party versus Dak. Party has the easier route that Lamar

1405
01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:51,719
Speaker 1: could throw a wrench into that, and then your ultimate

1406
01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 1: wild card is uh, Josh Allen. I don't really think

1407
01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:00,200
Speaker 1: like the Dolphins. I think we're eliminated on Monday night,

1408
01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:05,200
Speaker 1: any of the Dolphins, and I think is done. Hurts

1409
01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:06,960
Speaker 1: is done now and they don't play anyone the rest

1410
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:09,479
Speaker 1: of the year. So yeah, I think it's just it's

1411
01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:12,000
Speaker 1: those four us. Either it's party and dak two man race.

1412
01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:17,240
Speaker 1: Lamar and Alan, because of their schedule, have the chance

1413
01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:20,320
Speaker 1: to uh make make our runs. As a long shot

1414
01:12:20,320 --> 01:12:21,880
Speaker 1: I would consider so should be a good race though,

1415
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:24,519
Speaker 1: But do you ten years in a row quarterback with

1416
01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:25,879
Speaker 1: the bye that's been the formula.

1417
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:31,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, well ride that one, okay, Stucky, have a great week.

1418
01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:32,920
Speaker 2: Talk to you next week.

1419
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:34,920
Speaker 1: Take an easy, have it going.

1420
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:40,519
Speaker 2: The volume
