45
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: Patriots just got destroy royd by the Chicago Bears thirty

46
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: three to four team. And let's start with New England.

47
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: And I guess it would have been on Friday's podcast.

48
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: I gave somewhat of an apology and or sometime last

49
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: week and I realized, like betting against Belichick, you get it,

50
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: better be careful, right, No matter how talented his team is,

51
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: he is such a good coach that he's never gonna

52
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: win four or five games. And I thought there was

53
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: a chance at the start of the season they were

54
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: five and twelve season or five and five and twelve team,

55
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: and they were gonna have that type season. I was wrong.

56
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,839
Speaker 1: They are not a five and twelve team. That much

57
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: is clear. Now. Here's the thing, though, and this has

58
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: been a knock on the Patriots over the years, that

59
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: they're drafting right their top to bottom talent, their difference

60
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: making players, their Pro Bowl level guys. And the last

61
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: two weeks they feasted on two guys who are bottom

62
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: five starting quarterbacks in the NFL, Jared Goff and Jacoby Brissette.

63
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing. Jacoby Brissette and Jared Goff

64
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: cannot move. So guys like that who turned the ball

65
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: over a lot and our zero threat to run around

66
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: pretty easy for the greatest defensive coach ever to game

67
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: plan against. And he eviscerated both guys well tonight, justin fields,

68
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: who is I would say, pound for pound, one of

69
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: the better athletes in the league is a tough guy

70
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: to game plan against. Now he's a hit or miss

71
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: player as a passer. Still, you saw there was a

72
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: ball tonight where Troy's like put a little air under it.

73
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: He's still got a long way to go. Even though

74
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: we'll get into his supporting cast. He it's it's just

75
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: one of those guys that And this is what we

76
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: talked about in the quarterback drafting segment earlier this week,

77
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: Like when you draft guys really high, I like you

78
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: to have different pitches. I like you to have high ceilings.

79
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: And if that guy ever figures it out. His ceiling

80
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: as a runner is clearly elite because he's one of

81
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: the fastest quarterbacks we've ever seen. And I think you

82
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: saw not a fundamental flaw in the Patriots team. I

83
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: don't know how talented they are now. They're well coached,

84
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: they're tough, they tackle well, but it's not like he

85
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: has the fastest players on defense, Ray Lewis, Luke, Kick

86
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: Cleate walking through that door that you know and read

87
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: ain't flying around and Justin Fields made them look kind

88
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: of stupid today. And as the game went on. It's

89
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: not like Belichick doesn't adjust. He's the greatest halftime adjuster

90
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: we've ever seen. There was nothing they could do because

91
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: Fields pure talent running around that speed. They had no

92
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,239
Speaker 1: they had no counter for it. I mean, they just don't.

93
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: There's nothing Bill can do because he just lacks the

94
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: talents on that side, and just really on his entire team.

95
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: It's a solid team, but when they win eight or

96
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: nine games at the end of the season, they will

97
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: have vastly overachieved. It's why I gave Bill an apology,

98
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: because great coaches get their teams do overachieved. Bill used

99
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: to do that with his great teams winning twelve thirteen games. Remember,

100
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: we'd be like, God, who's Tom throw Julian Edelman, grox

101
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: banged up? Who are these running backs? Well, now he's

102
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: doing with a bunch of guys we don't really know,

103
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: and it's it's been impressive against crappy quarterbacks and he's excelled.

104
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: But he ran into a guy. I'm not calling Justin

105
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: Fields a good quarterback yet, but we can't argue about

106
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: his speed is elite and he ran around and there

107
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: was nothing the Patriots could do. And he let him

108
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: on drive after drive after drive and they couldn't do

109
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: anything about it. And let's talk about the Patriots quarterback situation.

110
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: Uh listen, I'm not a mac Jones guy. I'm not

111
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: into quarterbacks like that. In the first round, I there

112
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: was a draft for Christian Ponder and Jake Locker were

113
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: drafted really high. So I wouldn't say Mac Jones is

114
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: the most overdrafted quarterback of all time. But when you

115
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 1: look at the crew of guys that he gets compared

116
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: to Kirk Cousins, like if he ever turned into a

117
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: good player, Cousins, Jimmy Garoppolo, those type players none of

118
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: those guys sniffed being a first round quarterback, let alone

119
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: the fifteen overall pick in the draft. And as you

120
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: saw when Zappy came in, now Zappy through a terrible

121
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: pick at the end of the game, just like Cooper

122
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: Russian dec I'm not acting like Zappy is just immediately

123
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: going to be a better player. He may or may

124
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: not be, who knows. The more you play, the harder

125
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: it becomes. But I don't think Mac Jones. I don't

126
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: even think he's the top. I don't think he's a

127
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. I look at Mac Jones like a backup quarterback,

128
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: especially when he thinks he turns into Josh Allen and

129
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and tries to add lib on the fly.

130
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: It's like, Mac, that is not your game. And the

131
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: reason Bill Belichick went to Bailey Zappy immediately, and you

132
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: saw on the sideline, Mac goes, I'm out, it's because

133
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: I can't have you if I'm Bill running around like

134
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: you're Josh Allen, because you're gonna throw picks, you're gonna

135
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: do stupid ship because you don't have the physical attributes.

136
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing you do not need to be.

137
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: You know, Bill Polian to see the physical attributes in

138
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: Bailey's Appy and Matt Jones, there is no difference. They

139
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: physically move about the same. Their arms, you know, their

140
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: arms strength is basically identical. You could argue Bailey's Appy

141
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: even has a stronger arm. And where was Bailey's Appy

142
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: drafted in the first round? Hell no, he was a

143
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: fourth round pick. So I understand Belichick, who's not always

144
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: consumed with the value in the draft. No one historically

145
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: has cared less about where he drafted a player when

146
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: he liked a player, and sometimes it's worked out, and

147
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: sometimes it's been tragic mistakes, uh, in terms of how

148
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: good the player was for where he was drafted. But

149
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: you can't tell me when you watch Mac Jones play

150
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: and you watch Bailey's Appy play, I mean, they literally

151
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: looked just like each other. You see difference in talent,

152
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: There isn't any Matt Jones just isn't that talented. And

153
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: the thing that he hung his hat on coming into

154
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: the NFL was like ultimate game manager, ready to go. Oh,

155
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: And I said this what I talked about the draft.

156
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: There is no such thing as just an unlimited high

157
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: floor like a can't bust quarterback Uh, just this guy

158
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: for sure is a ten year starter. If that was

159
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: the case, teams would never miss. That is not the

160
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: way football works. And you immediately see I'm not saying

161
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: Bill is turning on Mac Jones, but I think he

162
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: realizes Mac I drafted you to be a game manager. Bro.

163
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: You have to understand when Tom Brady started back in

164
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: the day and two thousand one, two thousand to two

165
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: thousand three, before Tom Brady became I don't know an

166
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: m v P level player. He just managed the game

167
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: now part of it. Unlike Mac and even Bailey's Appy,

168
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: Tom couldn't run around. But Tom just did what he

169
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: was told to do. That's what Bill wants his quarterback

170
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: to do. When I tell you to throw it to

171
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: the left side on this play, I don't want you

172
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: to scramble around and throw it to the right side.

173
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: I don't want you to do a three sick see

174
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: in the pocket, scramble right and tell the guy to

175
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: go deep. That's not the way we're playing. That's not

176
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: the way we're built, and that's not the way you're built.

177
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, Lamar Jackson. They get

178
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: to do that you do not because you're just simply

179
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: not good enough to do that, and when you try,

180
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a disaster. Of the time. You saw

181
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: it with Bailey's Happy. He tried to make some plays

182
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: late in the game now they were down big, and

183
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: what happened. It didn't turn out well. When you don't

184
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: have the physical attributes and you try to make the

185
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: plays that the elite guys make, it usually does not

186
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: turn out well in the NFL because you're at a

187
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: disadvantage when you play outside the scheme of the offense.

188
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: And to me, that's what Mac Jones was doing tonight.

189
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: He's like trying to prove you know he I know

190
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: he got the Pro Bowl nod, and I I refuse

191
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: to go through it. I do think there's a chance now,

192
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: granted a lot of people go to Pro Bowls because

193
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: other people drop out. He's the worst Pro Bowl quarterback

194
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: in the history of the Pro Bowl. Uh. And I'm

195
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: not trying to take shots at Mac like Mac is

196
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: an nf FELL player. I just view him more as

197
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: a backup than uh than I think what people kind

198
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: of got in their mind he was gonna be last year.

199
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: And I'm just glad that Bailey's appy has come in,

200
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: and you just realize, like there is just no difference

201
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: in these two players. On the flip side, this guy

202
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: is a long way to go. And I'm biased. I

203
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: liked him a lot coming out of college. Uh but

204
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: and listen, there are some major flaws as a passer.

205
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: They are just some fundamental things that sometimes he doesn't

206
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: see some stuff. Sometimes you go like, is this just

207
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 1: a running back playing quarterback? And then there are times

208
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 1: when he makes a throw it's like, hell yeah, that's

209
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: what I want. Hell yeah, that's the justin fields that

210
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 1: I thought was gonna be a top ten draft pick,

211
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: and you saw tonight one his running is elite. Now,

212
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: I don't draft a quarterback to be a runner, right

213
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: that this isn't the Navy offense. But in in let's

214
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: say modern football, mobility is a big deal and I

215
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: like quarterbacks mobile quarterbacks, And this is what I will

216
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: about Lamar Kyler too, did have a pretty good understanding

217
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: as a runner not to take big hits. Like I

218
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: saw it firsthand with Trey Lance. Trey Lance doesn't have

219
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: a good feel for running around avoiding hits. And I'm

220
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: not even talking about the play that he broke his ankle.

221
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: He just wasn't comfortable in space. Justin Fields is a

222
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: blue chip, five star guy who went to Georgia and

223
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: then he went to Ohio State. So he's been practicing

224
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: against the best of the best. He has a good

225
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: understanding when he's running around, how to get out of bounds,

226
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: how to slide, just how to get on the ground.

227
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: So to me, that's a big positive. And then from

228
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: an arm strake standpoint, it's pretty special. Now there's a touch,

229
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: there's some stuff that he saw has a long way

230
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: to go. But let's let's remove uh Moody, who you know,

231
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: it's a pretty good player, and let's look at his

232
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: other two targets, guys that he throws to all the time.

233
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: Dante Pettis, who the forty Niners once drafted I think

234
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 1: high in the second round. Royal bust that they cut

235
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: and he bounced around. He's actually been making some plays

236
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: for him. Nikkil Harry made a play tonight. What we're

237
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: Nakil Harry come from the first round. Bill Belichick got

238
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: rid of him, like those are his, that's his, like

239
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: uh Deebo Samuel and dk Metcalf, Dante Pettis and Nikiel Harry.

240
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: Now I understand that the Bears historically have struggled to

241
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: put together good offensive weaponry, that they have a pretty

242
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 1: good feel for figuring out how to find defensive players.

243
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: You know, signed Julius Pepper's draft, Brian or Lacker, Peanut Tillman,

244
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 1: Michael Singletary. That they can figure out that side of

245
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: the ball. They have to give this guy a chance.

246
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: I if you said, bet your life is he gonna

247
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: become some Pro Bowl player? I wouldn't do that. But

248
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: if you told me that they invest heavily this offseason

249
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: to getting him help, you know, commits not bad, it's

250
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: probably a really good number. Two. Get him a star

251
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: tight end, get him a couple you know, more impactful whiteouts,

252
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: get him some offensive line help. Maybe he'll have a chance.

253
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: Because you can't watch that. If you just watch Zappi

254
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 1: and Mac Jones and you watched Justin Fields, and you

255
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: went if you were a GM and you were a

256
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: head coach, listen, all I've known heard about Fields, good guy,

257
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: hard worker, smart, really likes football. This guy is not

258
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: playing call of duty all night like some quarterbacks. Now

259
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: that that's a shot at Kyler, And in fairness to Kyler,

260
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: he's a much better player than Justin Fields. He's a

261
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: much more natural quarterback. But Justin if he puts in

262
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: the effort and they do surround him with with talent,

263
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: at least he's got a shot. Because you can't watch

264
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: that and go, yeah, I would want to work with that,

265
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: Like that's what you want to work with? Mac Jones

266
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: Bailey's appy as a scout. Text me tonight, are we

267
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: sure that Patriots even have a quarterback? Now? I'm not

268
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: sure the Bears do either, but at least they got,

269
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: you know, some clay to attempt to mold. Isn't that

270
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: the job of these coaches? These offensive coordinators in the

271
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: league are all making seven figs. These head coaches are

272
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: making seven eight nine million dollars the first time head

273
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: coaches then obviously the top head coaches are making twelve

274
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: to eighteen Like this is coaches, guys up. Isn't that

275
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: your job? Or you're just gonna sit inside the film

276
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: room and just click click, click, click all day in

277
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: the dark and each cheeto and sunflower seats, or we're

278
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: gonna work with this guy. I'd want to work with

279
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: Justin Fields because what did we talk about after the

280
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: Thursday night game against the Commanders. He has toughness, which

281
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: is a must quality if you want to be a

282
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: good quarterback. We know that Fields is tough, so he

283
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: has that right away. No one questions that needs to

284
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: work on some touch passing. But as you've seen with

285
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, and I'm not comparing him to Josh Allen,

286
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: my point is, it is an improvable skill. What do

287
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: the Bills do? They went out and they got him

288
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: a lot of help. Now we'll see. It's weird because

289
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: Ryan Poles and the guys with the Bears, we're not

290
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: the group that drafted him. So anytimes that happen, anytime

291
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: that happens, you just never know. And from just you know,

292
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: seeing headlines and stuff, I wouldn't uh. I wouldn't feel

293
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: great that they're all in on the guy. I know

294
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: they've said some positive things, but I I'd still be

295
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: a little leary from what I've heard in the grape vine.

296
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: But I mean, what the hell else are their options?

297
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: I mean, to me, I would double down on this

298
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: guy for next year and just see what happens. Because

299
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: Field just showing signs of life here for a team that,

300
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: let's face it, like the Patriots does not have that

301
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: much talent. Football season is underway, so now is the

302
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: perfect time to download FanDuel America's number one sports book

331
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 1: breaking news around the National Football League, and I think

332
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: we have to go to Indianapolis first, where it became official.

333
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: Frank Reich's job is holding on by a shoe string.

334
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: I don't think Frank is a lock at this moment

335
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: to make it through the season. To me, the only

336
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: question right now is Chris Ballard gonna go down with him?

337
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: Where is Chris Ballard going to be allowed and gonna

338
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: be in the same boat as the owner and higher

339
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: the next coach. I don't know. I I did some

340
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: reaching out sniffing around the league. I think a lot

341
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: of people think he's in trouble and Frank's done. I mean,

342
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: if they don't make the playoffs this year, Frank Raik

343
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: is gonna get fired. So the only question now does Ballard,

344
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: who I think is a pretty good GM, but you

345
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: know he is in charge of the coach. He went

346
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 1: to bat last year for Frank and the quarterback his

347
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: quarterbacks the last two years, or Carson Wentz and Matt

348
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: Ryan and to three years ago. In two thousand twenty,

349
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: they signed Philip Rivers for million dollars. He got them

350
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 1: to eleven wins or help them. I mean their defense

351
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: was good and you know, were had an opportunity to

352
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,959
Speaker 1: win a playoff game. Like to me, that's a successful

353
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,479
Speaker 1: year when you're the Indianapolis Colts without Peyton Manning's if

354
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: you do that every year, like you're gonna keep your

355
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: job for a while. The next two years have been

356
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: a disaster, Trading a what turned out to be a

357
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: first round pick for Carson Wentz. That's a kick in

358
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 1: the nuts. I mean, it really is that there's no

359
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: way around it. Now. They were able to trade him

360
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: because the Washington Commanders are super desperate for multiple threes.

361
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: So it wasn't the end of the world. It's like

362
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: they had to cut them, but you had to give

363
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: up your first round pick when you missed the playoffs

364
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 1: to the Philadelphia Eagles, which because of their picks, they

365
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 1: were able to use utilize the trade that they have

366
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: another first round pick coming next year because of your pick,

367
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: and then last but not least this season. And the

368
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: reason they had Matt Ryan is because when they traded

369
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 1: for traded Carson Wentz to Washington, they didn't even have

370
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,959
Speaker 1: a quarterback. People have going what are they gonna do?

371
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 1: They don't have a first round pick. There weren't really

372
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: quarterbacks available, Like, are you kind of screwed? Now that

373
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: Deshaun some situation played out a little bit later Matt

374
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: Ryan became available and they traded for him. But Matt

375
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: Ryan's a good guy. He had a hell of a career,

376
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: but he hasn't been good now for several years. He's washed,

377
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: he's done. And one thing I don't know if I

378
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: did a good enough job of on Monday's podcast when

379
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: I was talking about drafting guys in the first round,

380
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: especially high in the first round, when I talked about

381
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: physical characteristics and athletic attributes and just the ultimate physical

382
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: package that I'm looking for in a high ceiling guy.

383
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: It's being able to make plays outside the context of

384
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: the play. Right If a play is called and your

385
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: second read is wide open, most quarterbacks, most starting quarterbacks,

386
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 1: can make it. If it's one to look at. You know,

387
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: the first wide receiver, he's not open, Go to the second.

388
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: The guy's open, you hit it. To me, I'm talking

389
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: about outside the play call. When your right tackle gets smoked,

390
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: when both wide receivers slip, can you create a play

391
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: with your legs, with your physical attributes. And Matt Ryan's

392
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: never really been able to do that, But he cannot

393
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 1: do that right now. It's the downfall of Kirk Cousins.

394
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,479
Speaker 1: Right when when everything's humming and it's in rhythm and

395
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 1: the offense the time is the timing is on, he

396
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: can fucking light you up like a Christmas tree when

397
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 1: you're getting a pass rush and he has to keep

398
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: plays alive with his legs game over. And obviously Brady

399
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: and Manning and those guys never were able to do that,

400
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: but it didn't matter. They were so good and so dominant.

401
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: They still kicked your ass. Most guys cannot. So I

402
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: don't like non athletic quarterbacks with average arms because it's

403
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: hard for them to they don't age very well, especially

404
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: and Matt Ryan is aging very poorly. He has nine

405
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: interceptions this year, and I flipped on that game he

406
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,959
Speaker 1: threw two terrible picks. And their offensive line there, they're soft.

407
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: I mean, the reason Frank's gonna get fired is it

408
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 1: feels like they're getting worse. You know, they a couple

409
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: of years ago, pretty good team. Were they are right

410
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: now doesn't resemble the team that I remember watching a

411
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: nineteen and twenty. They look like a shell of themselves,

412
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: and I think Frank is definitely in trouble. The only

413
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 1: question is Ballard gonna survive? Now? Is Sam Ellinger? I'm

414
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: not some huge believer. I mean, I think he's known

415
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: for We're back when Texas beat up I forget even

416
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: who they beat in the bowl game? Was it Oregon?

417
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: I don't even know, but they won a bowl game.

418
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 1: He said that made him kind of famous. Uh, you're

419
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: kind of famous like the Dallas Cowboy quarterback when you're

420
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback and you're you're decent for the University

421
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: of Texas. But he wasn't very good to me as

422
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: a pro prospect. And I don't think, you know, he's

423
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: the type guy that's gonna get lightning in a bottle

424
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: and save these guys jobs. I think they're in major

425
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: trouble and they're playing Heineke and Washington this week. Hideki

426
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: hit Ship might be better than Carson Wentz. So the

427
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: the news is not shocking. Wouldn't shock me at all

428
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: if Jim Rcey was the one that mandated this um

429
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: in the in the head code, which is just I mean,

430
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: he might not make it a thanksgiving it this rate.

431
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: And then the other news is the New York Jets,

432
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: who have really done a good job against backup quarterbacks.

433
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: But they have a philosophy and how they've been winning.

434
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: They've played really good defense. They have a good defensive line.

435
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 1: Quinn and Williams brother uh number fifty six. Quincy Williams

436
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 1: is awesome. Sauce Gardner has been a stud their their

437
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: defense has been fantastic. Now they have been beating backup quarterbacks,

438
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: but they've been kicking their ass and they've ran the football.

439
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: And a big reason they've run in the football, especially

440
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks is I was told in

441
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,360
Speaker 1: training camp from someone in the know who was going

442
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: to all these practices, Briest Hall is our best player,

443
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: and clearly Elijah Verrett Tucker, Dude, they drafted a couple

444
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: of years ago from USC. It's pretty crazy how many

445
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: good players Clay Helton has put in the NFL. I mean,

446
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: a huge reason everyone was always so down on Clay

447
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 1: Helton not because he was losing a lot, because he

448
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: was losing a lot with sweet players. I mean, the

449
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: majority of teams in the NFL have they Clay helping

450
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: player on their team. And he's not like some random guy.

451
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: He's usually a pretty good player. But that's beside the point.

452
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: Um Roberts Hall announced today Breezes out with a torn

453
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: a c L and Tucker has an elbow injury that's gonna,

454
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: you know, cost him this season. That's a devastating blow

455
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: for a team that's five in two. Now, could they

456
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: get to ten wins? Like next week they play the Patriots.

457
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: It was gonna get harder, but because it's it's difficult

458
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: to maintain winning when your quarterback is consistently throwing for

459
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: about a hundred yards. I think the number was last

460
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: week against Denver, which is understandable. Denver's defense is excellent.

461
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: I think he threw for twenty yards, but they want

462
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: sixteen and nine. Um. I I do wonder if those

463
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: days are over because a huge part of their success

464
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: is this. This running backs a stud and Tucker's a baller.

465
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: So those Matt Ryan getting benched not shocking. Those are

466
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: two major injuries to a team that you know, I

467
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 1: think got a chance to get to the nine ish

468
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: if Zach kind of could get a little bit better

469
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: as to see and went on, who knows, maybe gets

470
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: a ten. But I think those days are over. Tampa Bay,

471
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: obviously they are one of the probably them in Green Bay.

472
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: Right at three and four, when you have Tom Brady

473
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers quarterback, UM is a pretty I mean,

474
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: it's just eye opening. Right if you're a Buck fan,

475
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: this is like, what the hell is going on? And

476
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: two things jump out to me. We'll start with Tom.

477
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: I heard Michael Lombardi say this tonight. Listen I don't

478
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: disagree that Tom's excelled in his career with slot receivers,

479
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: running backs who can catch the football in tight ends.

480
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: And right now they're built in Tampa with outside wide

481
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: receivers and Leonard four Net and Gronks no longer there,

482
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 1: and it's not the same to me, Tom Brady, and

483
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: I think we all can relate to this. When you

484
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: got one ft in and one ft out, it's hard

485
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: to excel at anything that takes a lot of energy.

486
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: Anyone who's ever had a job that they didn't want

487
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: to be there anymore or had already put their sights

488
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: on their next job, their next endeavor, you don't give

489
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: your same effort. And depending on what that job is,

490
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: if your foot is already half in half out, you're

491
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: you're probably not gonna have much success. It happens a

492
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: lot in relationships. Right when you're breaking up with someone,

493
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: you're getting a divorce, and you're just kind of over it.

494
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: You you no longer care as much. Right when you're

495
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 1: in love with someone, when you're in a serious relationship

496
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: and you're all in, you know you you do whatever

497
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: it takes. And Tom has always been to do whatever

498
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: it takes. Guy when it comes to football. Why because

499
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: he dedicated his life to the sport. So he unretires, retires,

500
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: or he retires unretires, goes on vacation during training camp.

501
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,959
Speaker 1: And I understand. I've heard people say, like, do you

502
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 1: think Tom Brady going to Robert Craft's wedding really impacted

503
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh game? Well, probably not. And of course he's

504
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. If he wants to go, it's understandable. But

505
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: that ain't fucking Tom Brady. Tom Brady never ever did

506
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,239
Speaker 1: that stuff. That's like what NBA players do. They really like, Hey,

507
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna take the week off. I'll see in

508
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. Liked Youah, no big deal, we're

509
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: tanking anyway. You know, tom Brady just missing stuff left

510
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 1: and right during the football season. It's bizarre. I don't

511
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 1: even totally blame him. He's forty five. Our priorities change,

512
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: we lose our focus. But he was the guy that

513
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: asked for Bruce Arians to get fired. Like that's clear

514
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: he wanted Bruce Arians out so they elevate Todd Bowles,

515
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: who listened. My second year with the Eagles, we hired

516
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles. I used to have lunch with him all

517
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: the time with other scouts. He was cool. I like

518
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles, and it's not even debatable that when Todd

519
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: Bowles is the defensive coordinator, he's an ass kicker. Hell

520
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: I would say the same thing for Dennis Allen of

521
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 1: the Saints when Dennis Allen gets to be the head

522
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: or excuse me, the defensive co dedinator and just handle

523
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: half the room. Because the way of football operation works.

524
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: When we have a team meeting on Let's say, you know,

525
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: we have game plan Monday Tuesday. First practice on Wednesday,

526
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: first team meetings at eight o'clock, so breakfast seven to eight.

527
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 1: We meet as a stat where we meet as a

528
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 1: team at eight o'clock, the head coach talks to the

529
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: entire team, and then after five minutes, ten minutes, I

530
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: think Belichick goes for an hour. Whatever, you go split up,

531
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: oh and D. So THEO goes the offensive coordinator, the

532
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: defense goes the defensive coordinator. So you only have half

533
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: the team. That's all you have to worry about. When

534
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: a guy gets d u I when a dude on

535
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: the other side of the ball's wife is pregnant and

536
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: loses the baby. When a dude's brother gets sick. When

537
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: a dude just has mental, you know, issues and is

538
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: going through problems and he's not on your side of

539
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: the ball, you don't even have to fucking think about.

540
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: But when you're the head coach, whether you're an offensive

541
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: head coach or defensive head coach, you have to deal

542
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: with it. Why you're the head hancho. And I think

543
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: we're seeing with Todd Bowles, like, let's face it, Bruce Arians,

544
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: I think it's a knocked by NFL people for not

545
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: being the hardest worker. And when I say that, it's

546
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: all relative, like Andy Reid and Bill Belichicker putting in

547
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: twenty hours a day. You know, Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVeigh.

548
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: These guys work crazy long hours. And Bruce always got

549
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: a known for like show up after breakfast and you know,

550
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: head o him at dinner, which listen, I get it.

551
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: But here's one thing I know about Bruce Arians. He

552
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: did not become a head coach till late in life.

553
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: I think he was like sixty or sixty one right

554
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: with the Arizona Cardinals, and when he became a head

555
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: coach for the Arizona Cardinals, and then he went to

556
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. All he did was win. All

557
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: he did was win. Now, you could argue when Tom

558
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: got there, they butted head on the offense whatever. He

559
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: a little like Sean Payton. These guys are kind of

560
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: crazy motherfucker's and they were not afraid of confrontation. And

561
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: when you're gonna get in confrontation in the NFL, it's

562
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: much easier to get your point across when you have

563
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: pelts on the wall and you have equity. Like, if

564
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: Dennis Allen is yelling at me, why am I going

565
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: to take him seriously? If I'm a New Orleans Saints player,

566
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: if I'm a veteran guy, just because he's the head coach. Well,

567
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: if Sean Payton yelled at me, I knew he was

568
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: one of the best head coaches in the league. He

569
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: had been to a Super Bowl, had been to play

570
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: one playoff games, he had pelts on the wall, and

571
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: I just knew he knew what he was doing. Like

572
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: the thing with Todd Bowls. He's a very even keel guy,

573
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: and I just don't really see it. Same thing with

574
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: Dennis Allen. Now, their person, Dennis is probably more of

575
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: a dick. I'm not saying Todd camp be as a

576
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: head coach, but their personalities are clearly different. I've said

577
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: over and over and I don't fault these guys when

578
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: they get offered the head coaching job. What are they

579
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: supposed to do? Turn down million dollars? But the best

580
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: part about the NFL in a lot of jobs, like

581
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: you want to keep moving up because there's a big

582
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: difference between ninety grand and grand, right, But when you're

583
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: making two two and a half million dollars, three billion

584
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: dollars and nights four million dollars as the number one

585
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: coordinator in the league, that's a pretty incredible job. They

586
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: don't blame you for everything, right, You don't have all

587
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: the anxiety and the pressure of the head coach does.

588
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: When you become the head coach. Your clock immediately starts.

589
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: And I think both guys are in major, major trouble

590
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, neither guy's a

591
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: head coach. So Tom got what he wanted, he wanted

592
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: arians out of there. The problem is Tom's not even

593
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: all in and now he is a head coach that

594
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: probably not a head coach. Just like Dennis Allen. Those

595
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: guys are fantastic defensive coordinators. The Saints defense last couple

596
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: of years was awesome. Tampa's defense last couple of years

597
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: I thought, was like, you know, on given weeks, the

598
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: best in the league, and now they're just getting shredded.

599
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: I mean I was watching Tampa just get shredded by

600
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: Steve Wilkes, who I was thinking about this today because

601
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: the media is really gonna push for Steve Wilkes to

602
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: get a job. I would say in the last decade,

603
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: Steve Wilkes would be right up. There's the worst head

604
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: coach I've ever seen. You know, Tom Sula, Freddie Kitchens,

605
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: like he's in that crew. He just kicked your ass.

606
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: That guy and his quarterback was p J. Walker. So

607
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: you know this, listen, this is what Tom wanted Um

608
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: and that they are in major trouble. Let's get to

609
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: my man, Brandon Staley. UM flipped on a little charger

610
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: Seattle gott Pete Carroll Man, Kenneth Walker. I was watching

611
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: that game, the running back Seattle draft in the second round.

612
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: I started thinking because Mel Tucker Michigan states, I think

613
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: three and four this year, they're not having a good season.

614
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: Got a ninety five million dollar extension this offseason, and

615
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: part of it was because LSU wanted him, And I

616
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: was like, you know, when you win ten games every season,

617
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: I get it. L s U was gonna want you.

618
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: Michigan State doesn't want to lose you. You resurrected Colorado.

619
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: And then I looked at his record and I'm like,

620
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: if you removed last year where he won eleven and two,

621
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: the one year he had Kenneth Walker, he is ten

622
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: and sixteen as a head coach. I hope Kenneth Walker

623
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: got like some points on that million dollars to deal

624
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: because he deserves at minimum. But watching Brandon Staley, who

625
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: and really quick, I will defend him on this. I've

626
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: told this story or I've just I've talked about this

627
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: before that where I went to school was basically in

628
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: the middle of California, cal Poly, and we were basically

629
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: fifty people from southern California, people from northern California, and

630
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: then a lot of farmers kids from the valley. And

631
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: I ended up meeting a lot of people that grew

632
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: up in the San Diego area and they they didn't

633
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: like they loved the Chargers. They loved the Chargers. And

634
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: if you watch baseball at all the Padres home field,

635
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: you know, atmosphere was fantastic. Dean Spanos who inherited the

636
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: team from a from a father who was a real

637
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,080
Speaker 1: estate mogul in California up and down from bake Is

638
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: Field up to Sacramento and probably owns property all over

639
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: the place. Uh, it's just very cheap, bad businessmen, and

640
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: refused to do a deal there. And listen, I get it.

641
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: I'm not pro these local politicians in California. I also

642
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,280
Speaker 1: think they're embarrassing, but sometimes you just gotta whip it around.

643
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: I saw Joe Lacob, who doesn't respect any of the

644
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: politicians in the Bay Area, build his own stadium. Why

645
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: because he's a closer he gets deals done. And the

646
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: Chargers who play now obviously at the Ram Stadium, it's

647
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: just a pretty big joke. I know their value as

648
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 1: a franchise has increased, but like it's just so irrelevant.

649
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: They have no fans, nobody gives a ship and when

650
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: they play these home games, literally no one cares and

651
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: it sounds like an away team's home game. And I

652
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 1: can't put that on the head coach or the players.

653
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: That is on the ownership obviously. That's not gonna change.

654
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: They are never gonna be a big deal there. They

655
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: are completely irrelevant, and it's always going to be on

656
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 1: a way UH Stadium's home crowd when they play the Chiefs,

657
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: when they play the Raiders, when they play the Broncos,

658
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: if they play the Niners, if they play any of

659
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: these Seattle They're gonna have more fans of the other

660
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 1: team every stinking time. And I'm not saying that fans

661
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't travel to San Diego, because you know, it's one

662
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: of the best cities in America, but it's it's not

663
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 1: the same. And I feel for all the Charger fans

664
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: out there because this team has absolutely no business and

665
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: I mean none being in Los Angeles. But Brandon Staley

666
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,919
Speaker 1: as a coach a little bit like those previous guys. Now,

667
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: the difference is Todd Bowles and Dennis Allen. I saw

668
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 1: those guys be head coaches and then both be overwhelmed.

669
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 1: So I had a baseline knowing, like, I don't know

670
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: if there's a great idea difference in Brandon Staley. Should

671
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 1: He's only been in the league like six years and

672
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 1: he became a head coach in a meteoric rise, But

673
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: He's known as like this dominant defensive coordinator mainly because

674
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: of one fucking season with the Ramps and their defensives

675
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: really good. Right, had one of the best defensive league

676
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: depending on what statistics you look at. Some Adham the

677
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: number one defensive league was like, Oh, this guy's a

678
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:10,240
Speaker 1: genius one time, one time, and he gets a job.

679
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: And the defense, specifically the run defense the last two

680
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: years has been putrid and they're playing Kenneth Walker this week. Who,

681
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: like I said, melt Tucker should give that guy about

682
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars of his deal because without him, I

683
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 1: don't think he's getting that much cash because you look

684
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 1: at his resume, he hasn't had that much success. Brendan

685
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: Saley is the defensive coordinator and they can't tackle a soul.

686
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: And it's not like Kenneth Walker was a nobody. He

687
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,240
Speaker 1: was a high second round pick and then last week

688
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: he ran for a hundred yards against the Cardinals. So

689
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: literally the tape, the first tape you would throw on

690
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 1: is their last game. He was excellent. And here's the

691
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: other thing about Seattle. While their offense has had some

692
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 1: big moments this year, they were just coming off a

693
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: game against the Cardinals where they scored nineteen points, and

694
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: then they come and play you and they score thirty

695
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 1: seven and Kenneth Walker goes for like I think a

696
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: buck seventy. I just do not get how your run defense.

697
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: You had Khalil Mack, who is one of the best

698
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 1: run defensive ends I've ever seen. You sign a big

699
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: defensive tackle from the Rams. You have Derwin James. You

700
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 1: can't tackle a soul and I'm sorry, like I'm putting

701
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: that on the head coach who is the defensive coordinator,

702
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: and it gets worse week after week after week. I

703
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: don't know how that's gonna change. You go, well, what

704
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: about the quarterback I watched Justin Herbert. I go, I

705
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: think he's playing pretty good the eye test, I think

706
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: he looks fantastic. And then I went to the stats.

707
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: Only four quarterbacks and throwing more touchdowns this year. You know, well,

708
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: is he being accurate? Yeah, sixt he's only thrown four interceptions. Like,

709
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: I think he's having a pretty good season. So you

710
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: have a top five six quarterback in the NFL. You

711
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: have nothing to do with the offense because you're the

712
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 1: head coach slash deep fensive coordinator. And your defense keeps

713
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 1: getting smoked. So I'm not gonna beat a dead horse

714
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: like Steve Sarkisian doesn't win. Brandon Staley's defense consistently sucks.

715
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: Like these are facts that these aren't opinions. I give

716
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 1: you my opinions on like why I think they suck,

717
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 1: they're not head coaches, but the facts remain, and I

718
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: just feel like I have to point it out because

719
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,760
Speaker 1: no one ever will because the media has their biases

720
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 1: and they have their friends, Like I'm not friends with

721
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: any of these guys, and I think it helps. I'm

722
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: friends with some, but not these studs specifically, because one,

723
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: they probably wouldn't like me and too, like I'm sorry,

724
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 1: I'd be like I should be a number two because

725
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 1: that's what you are, a number two, And there's nothing

726
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 1: wrong in the NFL with being a number two. It

727
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 1: pays two for Brandon Staley might if he became a

728
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: defensive coordinated for some team tomorrow, you get two and

729
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: half million dollars and ship we know Dean doesn't pay

730
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: so he's probably only making five, so you wouldn't have

731
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: to make that big of a pay cut. And if

732
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: you went to a different state state income to actually

733
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 1: save a lot of money. So yeah, they're just justin

734
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: Herbert getting just wasted game after game that there was

735
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 1: a reason once upon a time, Eli and Arch said,

736
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: we ain't going there, do not draft us Spano's family.

737
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 1: We ain't playing for your team. Smartest thing they ever did.

738
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: And then just you gotta give these two teams props,

739
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: you really do, the Cowboys and the Giants. On my

740
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: other podcast, we were talking about Drake Jackson, another Clay

741
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: Hilton guy who looks fantastic. Uh, and we were going

742
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: over all the top pass rushers from this last draft.

743
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: Obviously a lot of guys got drafted high. You know, uh,

744
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker, not Kenneth Walker, but Trayvon Walker, Tavon Walker,

745
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 1: the Jags guy, Aidan Hutchinson, Cabon Thibodeaux, and then Sam Williams.

746
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: Obviously there were some other guys. You know, the Chiefs

747
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: took the dude from Purdue, but Sam Williams, who I

748
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 1: didn't know that much about. And I was watching the

749
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 1: Cowboy game. Just kick the lion, I mean the Lions suck.

750
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,040
Speaker 1: I I I pounded the table for the line in

751
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: the Texans this year, being feisty and the Texans have

752
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: been feisty, they're just not winning. The Lions haven't really

753
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 1: been that feisty. They are starting to get smoked. They're terrible,

754
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: and Sam Williams was kicking their ass. And I text

755
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: a couple, you know, scouting buddies, and I said, how

756
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: in the world that's Sam williams fault? And they're like, well, uh,

757
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: domestic battery when uh he was at junior college with

758
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,720
Speaker 1: potentially several women. The character was a major red flag.

759
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: And I said, holy shit, Jerry Jones does d G

760
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 1: a F, as the kids would say over text, and

761
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: he truly d G a F. To meet. Jerry Jones

762
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: is kind of the modern day Al Davis. He's gonna

763
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: do whatever he wants, whenever he wants. He gets rid

764
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 1: of Randy Gregory, he signs, and he drafts another one

765
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 1: really high. Now Sam Williams can play, and this is

766
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: the thing in the draft, Like Sam Williams dropped to

767
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 1: late in the second round, not because he couldn't play.

768
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: Every guy said, yeah, he was sweet. He was a badass.

769
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: He's like, we couldn't take we didn't have him on

770
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: the board. Jerry didn't just have him on the board.

771
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 1: Drafted him and now he's using them. The Cowboys defense,

772
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: Like remember last year, Randy Gregor is pretty good. Sam

773
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 1: Williams is a better player, like I'm watching him, and

774
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: obviously Michael Parsons, who's probably gonna be the defensive player

775
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: of the year. Those guys are just dominating, like offensively.

776
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: I love how Cowboy fans like, oh where all the

777
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: people that wanted Cooper rush? Like, guys, why does everyone

778
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: act like Dak Prescott is the John Elway meets Dan

779
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: Marino reincardnated like he's fine. He's like the thirteenth best

780
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL who makes forty million dollars. Kudos,

781
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: dam And he's got seven commercials because of the team

782
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 1: he plays for. If I was Jerry, I would have

783
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: been like, hey, listen, Deck, we'll pay you twenty eight,

784
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 1: but you get about eight extra commercials because you play

785
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 1: for my team. If I put you on the Jags

786
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 1: of the Vikings, not a soul would care. I don't

787
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: see Cousins on any commercials and uh, and you could

788
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: argue he's a better player, but their defense is really good.

789
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: They are very very physical, and they are winning games

790
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 1: and now they're five and two not because of the offense,

791
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: strictly because of their defense. And they did it again

792
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 1: against the Lions and the Giants. Man Daniel Jones. And

793
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:11,720
Speaker 1: sometimes you look back and you go Joe Judge. Actually

794
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 1: there have been several right, started with Tom Seula. I

795
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: think Freddy Kitchens was right there. Ironically, Joe Judge hired

796
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: Freddy Kitchens on his staff and then when he fired

797
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:25,320
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett made Freddy Kitchens offensive coordinator their Mississippi State buddies.

798
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: But I mean he would be in the running of

799
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: being one of the most under qualified head coaches to ever,

800
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 1: you know, in the in NFL history. I had no business.

801
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 1: So you look back and you go Daniel Jones once

802
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: upon a time. And I'm not saying Daniel Jones will

803
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 1: ever become Alex Smith. But Alex Smith played for Mike

804
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 1: Nolan and Mike Singletary, two guys you wouldn't let within

805
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 1: a hundred feet of your building right now, Mike. Mike

806
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 1: Singletary got fired from a high school team like two

807
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,720
Speaker 1: years ago. Mike Nolan, we saw him be a defensive

808
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: coordinator from McCarthy a couple of years ago. How'd that go?

809
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 1: So sometimes head coaches and derail guys career. Now you

810
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: can tell when you watch Daniel Jones, like he's not

811
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: gonna be the next Mames or Josh Allen, but he's

812
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: definitely a really good athlete, and he's always throws a

813
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: decent ball, and he was a turnover machine, picks fumbles,

814
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: he just doesn't turn the ball over. And see Kwan Barkley,

815
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: who basically is the law comeback player of the year,

816
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: looks you know, I don't even know, like he got

817
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,320
Speaker 1: a little Barry Sanders with a little top end speed

818
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 1: of like uh, Jamal Charles, he's he's a baller. I mean,

819
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: he's the best player on their team and their six

820
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: and one sneaky, enormous game this week Giants at Seattle.

821
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: If you would have told me what are the chances

822
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: week eight, you watch one minute, because you know, I

823
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,359
Speaker 1: don't care about the Giants in Seattle. I mean I

824
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,399
Speaker 1: definitely keep a close eye on Seattle, but I thought

825
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 1: that they were gonna be terrible. I think those these

826
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 1: two teams were gonna draft number one overall and Seattle

827
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 1: technically in first place. Right now, the NFC West and

828
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 1: the Giants you know are let's see if you're the

829
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: Eagles right now, your start could not have gone any better.

830
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: You're undefeated, and you look back and you go, Giants

831
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: are right on our heels, and the Cowboys aren't going away.

832
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,280
Speaker 1: That division has really been good, and those two teams

833
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 1: the Giants led by coaching. Think about Brian Dable. He

834
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 1: needed an offensive coordinator, who'd you hire? He didn't hire

835
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: one of his buddies. He he didn't hire. You know,

836
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: one assistant from the Bills heard Mike Kafka, who was

837
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: drafted by Andy Reid, who coached with Andy Reid. He

838
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 1: went out of his little sphere. He didn't need. You know,

839
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: Belichick loves keeping it under the umbrella. And I'm not

840
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 1: saying these guys didn't know each other, but he went like,

841
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go hire a guy on a different staff.

842
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 1: He did the same thing with his defensive coordinator, Wink

843
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,280
Speaker 1: Martindale Boom. I'll take you know you don't want him Hardball,

844
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: I'll take him. And all I was told someone in

845
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: Baltimore during the preseason was like, I think our defense

846
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,320
Speaker 1: is gonna be awesome. I agreed. I'm like, yeah, this

847
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 1: Mike McDonald guy comes from hardball. He had been with

848
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: John harborw before went to be Jim's defensive coordinator. Comes

849
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:06,760
Speaker 1: back a ton of talent. They just when you watch

850
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 1: the Ravens play, and I watched the decent amount of

851
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: that game, they feel like the Chargers. They feel like

852
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 1: the East Coast version of the Chargers, who are a

853
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: little more successful in their owners, a much higher level

854
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: guy that basically every single game is a one possession

855
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:23,320
Speaker 1: game with like six minutes left and there's Lamar scrambling around.

856
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: You know, there's a turnover, comes down to a field goal.

857
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 1: Every game has the same vibe right now, very very bizarre.

858
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: Lamar is started off really hot. I would say he's uh,

859
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 1: hit the skids a little bit. You know, I'm not

860
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: saying he's losing money. I've heard some people like, oh,

861
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 1: Lamar is losing now, It's not really the way it works.

862
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 1: I mean, Dak Prescott get his ankle shatter and still

863
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: got a hundred sixty million dollars. But I wouldn't say

864
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: he's making money. You know, he just make his normal inflation.

865
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: You know, whatever he turned down will probably just get

866
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: an extra five million dollars. Again, he's got to eventually

867
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 1: sign the contract. But um, yeah, we're we're times around

868
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,439
Speaker 1: the league. Okay, let's get into a little Middlecoff mail

869
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,800
Speaker 1: back at John Middlecoff is the Instagram fire in those

870
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: d m s and get those questions answered here onto

871
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 1: Shizzoh hey man, I saw I was at the Denver

872
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: game yesterday. Seems like the offensive play calling is horrid,

873
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: multiple go routes on fourth down and reasonable yardages instead

874
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: of trying to get a simple first down. What do

875
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,800
Speaker 1: you think about the Broncos firing Hackett after the season

876
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: and going all in to get John Payton proven offensive coach.

877
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: I have trouble thinking Russ and the offense are beyond repair. Yeah,

878
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 1: I would say Nate Hackett is done at the end

879
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 1: of the year. I think the only question is does

880
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: a GM survived too? Because if you and I own

881
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:47,240
Speaker 1: the team, it's almost like I would want a GM

882
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,399
Speaker 1: as much as a coach because you spend so much

883
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: time with a general manager. He's the guy talking finances,

884
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,439
Speaker 1: talking your roster. I mean, the coaches talking scheme. Let's

885
00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:00,280
Speaker 1: face it, like you have no clue what they're talking about.

886
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: But I can figure out, like, oh, we love this guard,

887
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 1: Oh we love this corner. Oh, we love this assistant coach.

888
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 1: You know, GM speak more owner language than the head coach,

889
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 1: so the head coach is a dead man walking to me,

890
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 1: the question is as a GM survive And I don't know,

891
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 1: I I really don't. I would say they're both in trouble. Okay,

892
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:29,800
Speaker 1: let's get to the mail bag at John Middlecoff is

893
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,399
Speaker 1: the Instagram fire in those d m s. Get your

894
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 1: question answered here on the show. Hey, John, huge Bears fan.

895
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: Here is the NFC North, the new NFC East, and

896
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 1: can the Bears win the division and back door their

897
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 1: way into the playoffs. Yeah, I mean I I have

898
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: a hard time thinking that, like Minnesota is just dramatically better,

899
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 1: just because their offense is just so much more cohesive.

900
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 1: You know, I have a hard time seeing you guys

901
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,399
Speaker 1: get above five and Minnesota is already five and one,

902
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:01,919
Speaker 1: so you know they're getting tone minimum and even Green

903
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 1: Bay I think ends up getting to nine. So and

904
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys never beat the backers, but I

905
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 1: I do think you, you know, seven wins would be

906
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 1: a pretty big solid head, you know, heading in the

907
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 1: right direction season, I think, and you just want justin

908
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: fields to keep making strides, that's all I'd want, if

909
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:24,760
Speaker 1: I was a Bears fan, to just have justin fields

910
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: keep getting better and better, because, like I said, he's

911
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 1: playing with Dante Pettison to kill Harry. What if he's

912
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: playing go get him branded Marshall and Aushon Jeffrey and

913
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: Greg Olsen. Greg Olson played for the Bears. Yeah, yeah,

914
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:43,800
Speaker 1: Carolina Bears. Yeah, Bears in Carolina. Jimmy g for Mac Jones.

915
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 1: I know it's silly, but kind of makes sense if

916
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 1: you don't have sense, right, Yeah, I mean I I

917
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 1: think that ship sailed mail bag. You'll probably discuss the

918
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan situation on the pod this week, but want

919
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 1: to ask you as it pertains to Carson Wentz, I

920
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 1: refuse to believe your age that he's not a starter

921
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 1: in the league. The guy is a fluid quarterback and

922
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 1: when given competence confidence, he can absolutely rip it. We've

923
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: seen it a couple of times already in Washington. I

924
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 1: don't understand why guys like Stafford big Ben, even Andrew

925
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: Luck for that matter, got passes on turning the ball over,

926
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 1: but Wentz gets destroyed over his entire career, because I

927
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: think when you watch those guys in the pocket at

928
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 1: Wentz's age. I mean, they look a lot different than

929
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. I was a enormous Carson Wentz fan. When

930
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: you watch Carson Wentz and you take out that first

931
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 1: game of the season, like, yeah, he could rip it,

932
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: so can Bailey's happy Like a lot of quarterbacks, Trey Lance.

933
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 1: I mean, a lot of quarterbacks can just rip it.

934
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:44,879
Speaker 1: But it's just Carson Wentz is not a very good

935
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: player right now. I think most Commander fans have to say, like,

936
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: I'd rather have Heinekey. Wentz gets ran out of Philly

937
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 1: after a seventeen run and pretty remarkable playoff run in

938
00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:00,320
Speaker 1: nineteen with a depleted Eagles roster. Mind you how he

939
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 1: drafted Jalen Reagor over Justin Jefferson during the Wentz tenure.

940
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,840
Speaker 1: Then he gets scapegoated an Indie and abandoned by his

941
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 1: good friend Frank and two weeks in, Ron Rivera is

942
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 1: shipping on him. So what's the deal with your connections

943
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 1: in the league? What about Wentz causes such a problem

944
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: wherever he goes. I've never heard he's a bad guy.

945
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 1: One thing that I've heard is that he struggles to

946
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 1: ingratiate himself, like with his teammates, you know, And I

947
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: don't know how else to say it. Like, I don't

948
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 1: think he's beloved in the locker room now. I don't

949
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: think he's hated either. I don't. I don't think he's

950
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 1: like some outcast. I just think a lot of a

951
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks just kind of fit in. You know,

952
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:45,280
Speaker 1: you bring up Stafford just kind of fits in. People

953
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 1: like him. People love Philip Rivers, you know, people love

954
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 1: like Dak Prescott, Mahomes and Josh Allen and Lamar Like

955
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:57,319
Speaker 1: those guys are heroes in their locker room. Now. It's

956
00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 1: not even just like because they're good players, because dude

957
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 1: just like them. They just like them. They just kind

958
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 1: of get it. Jalen hurts. I I don't really, I

959
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 1: don't really know how much else to say. I mean,

960
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 1: that's all I know. I don't know. I know nothing

961
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 1: about what happened in Washington, but I would say that

962
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 1: something's off with Carson Wentz. You know, you can't. It's

963
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 1: one thing if the Eagles just cut ties, you know,

964
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:23,319
Speaker 1: and they moved on, but back to back teams did

965
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 1: Now you can say her say was just piste off

966
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 1: because they missed the playoffs and Carson wouldn't get the jab.

967
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean I two teams kicked from

968
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 1: the curb and then his third team was shopping on him.

969
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 1: Like you said, it had to apologize you and cowardy

970
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,360
Speaker 1: to start admitting how out to lunch you've been on

971
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:47,839
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. Is this Daniel Jones cousin lead photographer. Guy's

972
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: got fifteen k followers. This guy's got some sweet picks

973
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 1: skiing man, this guy's like a helicopter skier. Jesus, this

974
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,360
Speaker 1: guy's doing some gnarly. This guy shredding some outer this

975
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 1: guy shredding some nar um. You know, he's been much

976
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: better than I thought he would play. I will be

977
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:09,399
Speaker 1: the first to admit that. But when you watch him,

978
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 1: let's not act like you're watching uh, you know, Eli

979
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 1: Manning meets Peyton Manning meets you know, Steve Young here.

980
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just not turning the ball over. He's

981
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,760
Speaker 1: playing very under control. And if I'm gonna give Justin

982
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,399
Speaker 1: Fields somewhat of a past, like, look at the wide

983
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 1: receivers he's playing with now. He does have, say Kwon Barkley,

984
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,760
Speaker 1: who was kicking ass and taking names. But Daniel Jones,

985
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 1: who one of my good friends in the league once

986
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 1: told me when I shipped on who was your GM Gettleman?

987
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:40,839
Speaker 1: When Gettleman took him at six overall, I mean everyone did.

988
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: I was like, this is insane. My buddy that does

989
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 1: the SEC was like, uh, I kind of like Daniel Jones.

990
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 1: He's like he viewed Daniel Jones like a fringe top

991
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 1: twenty player. And the scouting community always says, well, if

992
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 1: you think the guys are starting quarterback, what's the difference?

993
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 1: Take him at six and seventeen? And my always thing

994
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: is like the value, I mean, was anyone else gonna

995
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 1: take him? Like, well, the football team might take him,

996
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 1: even though you know, um, I got my head is

997
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 1: not working tonight, Dwayne uh R, I p that the

998
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 1: Daniel Snyder was gonna take him, And yeah, I don't,

999
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I think Daniel Jones is

1000
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 1: could potentially have like a poor man because I don't

1001
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 1: think he's ever gonna be. He's not as good of

1002
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 1: a prospect as Alex was. Uh could be like that

1003
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 1: version and Alex is really accurate, Daniel Jones probably got

1004
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 1: a little bit better arm good athletes. So yeah, I

1005
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 1: mean I I give a lot of credit to uh,

1006
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 1: your bald coach, kicking ass, love the pot keep up

1007
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 1: the great work. Some you know, sometimes your brain just

1008
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:45,799
Speaker 1: doesn't work. I feel like today for whatever reason. It's

1009
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,320
Speaker 1: not like I didn't even drink the last couple of nights.

1010
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:52,319
Speaker 1: I mean, I just I worked out. I should be fresh.

1011
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 1: I had a bunch of coffee. It's just it hasn't

1012
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 1: been firing on all pistons. You know, if my brain

1013
00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 1: was a football team, it wouldn't have matter who we

1014
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 1: played today. We would have lost. You know, I would

1015
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 1: have looked like the Patriots. If my brain was a

1016
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,480
Speaker 1: football team, we just would have lost thirty three to fourteen.

1017
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,399
Speaker 1: Because this is just not working. It's just come on,

1018
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:13,359
Speaker 1: It's got to be better. Sometimes you have off days.

1019
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 1: You know. It seems like there has been an excuse

1020
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 1: for every loss so far this season. In Chicago, it

1021
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:22,800
Speaker 1: was the monsoon. Okay, wait, my love, the part of

1022
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 1: the great work. Would love to get your thoughts on

1023
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 1: the latest Niners loss. It seems like there's been an

1024
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 1: excuse for every Niners game. Chicago Monsoon, Denver was Jimmy

1025
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 1: knocking out the rust and landed was the injuries? This

1026
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:35,799
Speaker 1: loss to the Chiefs, however, seems like they are all

1027
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 1: out of excuses. One thing Coward consistently calls out is

1028
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 1: that the sign of a bad coach is someone who

1029
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:45,359
Speaker 1: cannot get their side of the ball right. With the

1030
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 1: ups and downs on offense this season, do you think

1031
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 1: the argument could start being made for Shanahan? Do you

1032
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 1: think he will be on the hot seat if the

1033
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: Niners spiral from there? Lots of season left, but the

1034
00:54:57,080 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 1: chinks in the armor only seemed to get bigger. Well,

1035
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:04,759
Speaker 1: I have no problem shipping on Kyle's game plan and

1036
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 1: his just overall play calling. In Atlanta that was an embarrassment.

1037
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 1: Same thing with Chicago uh ten points and in Atlanta

1038
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:17,319
Speaker 1: fourteen points. That that is unacceptable against mediocre teams. You

1039
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:19,920
Speaker 1: know they jimmy throw a pick on in the end zone,

1040
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 1: Like at minimum they should have scored a field goal,

1041
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 1: so they would have been in the high twenties against

1042
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. They lost that game because of their defense,

1043
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 1: and their defense who's one of the best teams in

1044
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:37,879
Speaker 1: the league, refused to change like Andy Reid is going

1045
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 1: to take advantage of your defensive ends, specifically Nick Bosa,

1046
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 1: when he is just gonna shoot up the field like

1047
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 1: a rocket. Now, Nick bos is one of the best

1048
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 1: players in the league. But the Niner scheme just get

1049
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:51,239
Speaker 1: a field, go get the quarterback, which works against the

1050
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 1: majority of teams. But when you're playing one of the

1051
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 1: best offensive play callers ever and one of the best

1052
00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 1: quarterbacks ever, you might want to like, Hey, they're clearly

1053
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: taking advantage of our overaggressiveness. How about we throw a

1054
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:09,080
Speaker 1: curveball at halftime. Hey, Nick, pretend you're gonna shoot straight

1055
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 1: up like we always do, take one step and then stop,

1056
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 1: and then hell, maybe when they throw a screen you'll

1057
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 1: pick it off, or maybe when they run an end

1058
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:23,439
Speaker 1: around you'll decline the guy I I despise. Listen, I'm

1059
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: a big believer in whatever you do to have, like

1060
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 1: a general philosophical belief, Like this is what I stand for.

1061
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:35,319
Speaker 1: I'm talking professionally, not morally, but like professionally, right, Like

1062
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 1: if a coach, we believe in running the ball and

1063
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 1: playing defense, or we believe in the spread offense. You know,

1064
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:43,240
Speaker 1: if if you're a sales guy, you have some certain

1065
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 1: thing you do to close, right, I would say for

1066
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 1: me in this podcast, like I'm a big believer in authenticity.

1067
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:51,880
Speaker 1: I'm a pretty fucking open book that you know. I

1068
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,239
Speaker 1: tell you a lot about my life. I try. I

1069
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 1: just give you my opinions. I'm not faking anything. I

1070
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:00,120
Speaker 1: would rather go do something else. I'll go working your

1071
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:04,920
Speaker 1: estate before I pretend takes for quote unquote ratings or

1072
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 1: I don't even I don't even know what that means

1073
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 1: in the podcast world, but that ain't happening here. So

1074
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 1: I do believe that you gotta stand for something. So

1075
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 1: the Niners defense stands for something. But you do have

1076
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 1: to adapt. And I hate in football specifically when people go, well,

1077
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 1: this is what we do. Well, okay, I have no

1078
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 1: problem doing what you do. But if at halftime it

1079
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 1: ain't working, and luckily the Niners are only down one point,

1080
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 1: shouldn't you guys be like, let's do something different and maybe,

1081
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll win the fucking game. That's what

1082
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:38,280
Speaker 1: I didn't get. Now, Listen, the Chiefs are better than

1083
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 1: the Niners. They have Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, right,

1084
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 1: Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes are better than Kyle Shanahan

1085
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 1: and Jimmy Garoppolo. But in terms of the team and

1086
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 1: the players, like the Niners could have competed much much

1087
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:54,320
Speaker 1: closer in the second half if they just made some

1088
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 1: adjustments and they refused. Now they're dbs. Did not play

1089
00:57:57,560 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: very well, but their defensive line didn't change at all.

1090
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 1: Andy Reid was just kind of toying with them. The

1091
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:07,560
Speaker 1: He was the equivalent as a coach. If you watch tennis,

1092
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, like when a Federer or a Doll or

1093
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 1: a Djokovic is just in the zone, It's like, is

1094
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 1: this guy even sweating and just rallies and volleys and

1095
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 1: back hands and the other guys just going to side

1096
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 1: to side. It used to happen a lot with Federer

1097
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 1: and Djokovic. The Doll was a little different, little more powerful,

1098
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 1: but like Federer and Djokovic when they just lock in

1099
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:32,080
Speaker 1: and their opponents like barely hitting the ball going back

1100
00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 1: and forth on the other side, and especially Federer, it

1101
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 1: never looked like a sweat. Djokovis too. And there's that's

1102
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 1: what Andy was to play color. It's like I'm gonna

1103
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 1: go left, I'm gonna go right, left, left, right, right, screen,

1104
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 1: pitch pitch screen, quick out screen, you know, quick post.

1105
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it was it was a joke. It was

1106
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 1: not on Andy's part. I mean, it was just it

1107
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 1: was a clinic. But he had to be thinking, like

1108
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 1: all these guys ever gonna change with the doing? Are

1109
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 1: they really just gonna be cool with doing this? Football

1110
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 1: sometimes is not as complicated as we make it, you know.

1111
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 1: I mean, and he reads one of the great screen

1112
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 1: callers in the history of the sport, and the Niners

1113
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 1: like pretended that he wasn't gonna run screens. I didn't

1114
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 1: quite get it. Like I told one of my buddies,

1115
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:22,480
Speaker 1: were the Chiefs. Niners need that win more than you guys.

1116
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 1: You guys are gonna cruise to the a f C West.

1117
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 1: They got lucky, like the football gods took care coach Read.

1118
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:31,160
Speaker 1: They gave him Patrick Mahomes And I'm saying obviously they

1119
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:34,200
Speaker 1: isolated they wanted him, but I'm just saying that matchup,

1120
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 1: and think about the division. He gets the Raiders, I mean,

1121
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 1: we were tend to be bad. I know they got

1122
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 1: a big win off the Texans, but I mean that's

1123
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:46,640
Speaker 1: a team that's gonna have to battle their ass off

1124
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,520
Speaker 1: to get eight or nine wins. You get the Chargers,

1125
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 1: one of the great underachieving franchises of all time, and

1126
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:55,320
Speaker 1: then you get this debacle that is the Denver Broncos.

1127
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 1: I mean Nate Hackin, Russell Wilson, I mean the Chiefs

1128
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 1: change are going. It was like, you know, it's gonna

1129
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 1: be hard for them to win the a f C West.

1130
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:06,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna win the f C West, but like four

1131
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 1: games they might be resting people by you know, I

1132
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 1: guess it depends what happens with Buffalo, if there's a

1133
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 1: chance they can catch him. But actually they'd have to

1134
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 1: win by a game because Buffalo as a tiebreaker. The

1135
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 1: Chiefs are gonna cruise the second seed, cruise to the

1136
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 1: second I mean they are going to cruise the division.

1137
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 1: I mean you could give them. I mean they're a

1138
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 1: winner two away, just giving the hats and T shirts,

1139
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 1: Like what the hell are we waiting on? Um? But yeah,

1140
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 1: I hear you, Audios. The volume
