Speaker 1: some sums going on today, But we're gonna talk a

37
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: little football because it's actually Monday night when I'm recording this,

38
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: and I just watched the Kansae Chiefs win again. Thought

39
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: they had won it in regulation. Baker Mayfield drives them

40
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: for the game tying touchdown. Todd Bowles, We'll dive into

41
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: it all for some reason, doesn't go for two. The

42
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: Chiefs scoring overtime and remain undefeated as the only undefeated

43
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: team currently in the NFL and have a nice little

44
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: cushion in the AFC for the number one seed, and yeah,

45
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: who would have saw that coming? The Chiefs. Just it's

46
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 1: got to be an incredible time to be a Chiefs fan.

47
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: Other than that, what a game by Baker Mayfield, Liam

48
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: Cohen missing players that they were awesome. I mean the

49
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: quarterback play tonight was and the coaching in that environment,

50
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: in that weather, what was really fantastic, very very enjoyable

51
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: to watch the second half of that game. Got to

52
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: do a little outhouse and penthouse. And you know, we

53
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: have a new addition because the Porta Potty Panthers won

54
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: a game. So if you get beat by the Porta

55
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: Potty Panthers, I mean, what does that make the Saints

56
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: who then fire their coach this morning and the Raiders

57
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,399
Speaker 1: who fired it felt like half their staff, so you're

58
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: one of their head coach, But hey, master the Raiders. Obviously,

59
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: the Cowboys got some issues, dak is injured, Philly's Hummon

60
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,840

87
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: It doesn't get any better than this. This is the pinnacle,

88
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: the peak of being a sports fan. This is what

89
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: it had to feel like living in Chicago in the

90
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: early and late nineties watching Jordan. If you lived in

91
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: New York in the late nineties early two thousands with

92
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: the Yankees, I saw it when I lived in the

93
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: Bay Area, when Kevin Durant showed up, and even the

94
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: couple of years before, you just never thought the Warriors

95
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: were gonna lose ever, And that's what it feels like

96
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: watching the Chiefs. You're like, Yeah, their offense just isn't

97
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: that good. They're relying on Kareem Hunt, who they had

98
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: to sign off the street because they're starting running back

99
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: broke his leg. You're like, God, he doesn't look that good.

100
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: And as the game starts going, You're like, God, he

101
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: actually kind of looks good. You're like, oh, Travis Kelsey's

102
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: kind of old doesn't quite move the same, only runs

103
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: these five and six yard routes, and then as the

104
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: game goes on, he just consistently catches those routes. DeAndre

105
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: Hopkins classic that drive. Honestly, I thought the game was

106
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: over with you know, about a little under thirteen minutes.

107
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: The Chiefs get the ball. It is seventeen to seventeen.

108
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: They have a fifteen play eight and a half minute drive,

109
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: then went seventy five plus to score the touchdown. When

110
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: you know, Mahomes lobs it to p Ryan and I

111
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: guess that was earlier in the game. That's when he

112
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: hit Hopkins and he had already gotten hurt. But then

113
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 1: he was fine and came back a little scared, but

114
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: obviously everything was alright. He played the rest of the game.

115
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: But he hits Hopkins for a second touchdown of the game,

116
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: and you're like, what an incredible championship drive. Like they

117
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: got it all, even though they don't because their stud

118
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: running back has a broken leg and is out still

119
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: another month. Their best wide receiver is on injured reserve,

120
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: and they're relying on as you saw earlier in the game, Worthy,

121
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: who is a very talented player, a little raw I

122
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: mean Mahomes hit him down the sideline, couldn't get both

123
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: and bounds a little embarrassing. Kelsey, I think it is

124
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: fair to say. I do think he will show up

125
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: for the playoffs. He's not what he once was. And

126
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: then Hopkins, who probably runs a five zho forty, was

127
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: fantastic tonight. I mean that trade the night was like

128
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: an organizational move. It's like, yeah, we made this move

129
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: early for a reason. This guy's gonna help us out.

130
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: And obviously they don't win the game without him and Mahomes,

131
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt, DeAndre Hopkins, Kelsey, they drive him right down

132
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: the field and score a touchdown. I thought the game

133
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: was over. And then the Bucks get the ball back.

134
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: They go three and out. Then the Chiefs get the

135
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: ball back, they go three and out. They're like this

136
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: is nuts. Then the Bucks get the ball back again

137
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: with a little bit under two minutes and twenty seconds.

138
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: You're like, there's no way. And then Baker Mayfield, who listen,

139
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: there are not I don't know, is he's a top

140
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: ten quarterback like I obviously he I wouldn't say he's

141
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: a top five guy. With Lamar Allen Stafford, Mahomes Herbert

142
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: like those guys would all get drafted before he did.

143
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: But I think when you start talking obviously Jared Goff

144
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: this season, like there aren't many quarterbacks playing as well

145
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: as this guy, and tonight a lot like Mahomes, he

146
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: ain't really playing with a full deck. His best receiver

147
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: has messed up hamstring, his second best wide receiver, who

148
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: was having an elite contract year, shattered his ankle, and

149
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: he's thrown to Sterling Shepherd and Kate Otten who is

150
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: a good player, and his running backs. At one point

151
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: in time, when the Bucks took the lead in this

152
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: game fourteen to ten, they showed a graphic His wide

153
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: receivers had two catches, his running backs had four, and

154
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: his tight ends all being o had five. So like,

155
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: what a night from Baker Mayfield and his offensive coordinator

156
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: because they had no business given their injuries, you know,

157
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: on paper, competing in this game. But this is what

158
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: makes Monday Night football so fun is that you get

159
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: these fun games because regardless of what your record is.

160
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: And now the Bucks have lost four out of five games.

161
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: This is a kitchen sink game for them. They know

162
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: you're playing on primetime, you're playing on national television against

163
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: the two time defending champs, Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, and

164
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: you give it all you got, and their quarterback, I thought,

165
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 1: for the most part, was flawless, and Mahomes was excellent too.

166
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: Both those guys, like what a high level quarterback game

167
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: in a driving rainstorm when clearly it was very difficult

168
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: to keep your feet. Obviously, that's why Mahomes is an

169
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: all time great, and why Baker Mayfield has reestablished himself

170
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: or just established himself, because you would say he never

171
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: really was as a top ten quarterback in the NFL,

172
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: and honestly, this year is closer to five than he

173
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: is ten. He has been fantastic. But I think if

174
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: you wanted to nitpick the Bucks, they drive that Liam

175
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: Cohens play calling the night because his wide receivers are

176
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 1: so limited, getting rid of the ball fast, running a

177
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 1: bunch of quick outs, getting the ball to the running

178
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: backs in the flat, hoping they can make plays. And

179
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: they did pretty consistently, even if it's just gaining five

180
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: or six yards, not having Baker hold it too long,

181
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 1: especially in a rainstorm, and they drive that the play

182
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: call to get the game tying touchdown was just fantastic.

183
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: Akman crushing Todd Bowles for calling the time out, you know,

184
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: heat of the moment. If you don't have another play call,

185
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: you're coming a long way. I think it's easy to

186
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: be sitting there and saying it. I do think kind

187
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 1: of a tough spot, but regardless, it worked out fine.

188
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: I think if you do want to nitpick him, it's like, listen,

189
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: you've already lost to Tampa or excuse me, Atlanta twice.

190
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: It is gonna be. You're playing the Chiefs now and

191
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: you got the forty nine ers in six days. You

192
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: probably just want to put all your cards in the

193
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 1: middle of the table. You just ran two plays that

194
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: could have scored. I mean, if Aughton holds onto the ball,

195
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: that's touchdown. The very next play, easy touchdown. Clearly your

196
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: two point plays and essentially what you're running are pretty good.

197
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: Like Liam Cohen, think about all the negativity, Let's just

198
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: use a guy, Shane Waldron. Everyone thinks he's the village idiot. Rightfully.

199
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: So the Raiders couldn't get rid of their offensive coordinator,

200
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: who ironically had come from Chicago, Lukeagetzi fast enough. They

201
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: fired him. The quarterback coach, the offensive line coach, it's clear.

202
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: You watch some offensive coordinators, regardless of quarterback, you're like,

203
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: they have no fuel for play calling. Like, regardless of

204
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: how talented the guys you have running your offense, you

205
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 1: can feel if they have like a just an innate

206
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: ability and a rhythm to their play calling. And if

207
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: you've watched Liam Cohen all season long, he has been awesome.

208
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: And if you want to argue, it's one thing to

209
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: do with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, Like, Okay, he's

210
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: got a full deck. How about you take those two

211
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: guys away and you go to toe to toe with

212
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 1: a big time defense, a championship defense, on the road

213
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 1: in a rainstorm, and him and Baker answered the bell,

214
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: So I think, like, what do you gotta lose? Why

215
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: not just go for it there? Because basically, when you

216
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: kick the field goal, which let's face it now with

217
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 1: the uh how the extra point whatever, thirty five plus yards,

218
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: it's not a gimme in the rain. And even Aikman,

219
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: as he said, I would have gone for two. You

220
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: start thinking like, is he gonna slip and miss this?

221
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: And then you give them a chance. They had twenty

222
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: seven seconds now. Ultimately they ended up punting, but you're

223
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: basically just taking a fifty to fifty coin flip, right,

224
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: And I'm against always going for two as some of

225
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: these teams do. Like I'm cool with kicking field goals

226
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: and just throwing up one point when we score touchdowns.

227
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: I think that's a spot that you gotta go for,

228
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: especially with how well your quarterback's playing. Go for the

229
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: jugular right there, and he didn't and ultimately a cost

230
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: him because you give the ball back to you know,

231
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: the mid nineties or the late nineties Yankees like they're

232
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: gonna win because they always win. I was just looking

233
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 1: at the uh, you know, the conference standings, and it's

234
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: like you watch the Bills and you're like, God, this

235
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: offense is awesome. How good is Josh playing? You watch

236
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: the Ravens when they're on they're just scoring forty with ease.

237
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 1: And then he watched the Chiefs.

238
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 3: It's like, you know, halfway through the fourth quarter, like,

239
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 3: are they gonna be able to punch this in to

240
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 3: get over you know, to get from seventeen to twenty four?

241
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: Like it is a difficult proposition for them to move

242
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: the ball. They are not an explosive offense, and yet

243
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: they're undefeated, and they have a clear cushion over teams

244
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: like the Ravens and the Bills, who are clearly Super

245
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: Bowl contenders, and the Chiefs are just chugging along so

246
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: very entertaining game. It's just you just can't beat this team.

247
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you really can't. They just find a way. Obviously,

248
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: the big scare when Mahomes fell a little funny on

249
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 1: his ankle or hit pointer or something going on. I

250
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: had to be carried for like half the way and

251
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: then he started walking. Obviously, you know, Carson Wentz starts

252
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: warming up your kind of hard drops. You're like, no,

253
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: please be okay. And obviously he shook it off and

254
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: everything was all right. But I thought both those two

255
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: quarterbacks just gutty performances that that is not easy. I mean,

256
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: that was a Chief defense that a couple of weeks

257
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: ago made Kyle Shanahan a brock purty look like scrubs,

258
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: thoroughly embarrass them. And for Liam Cohen, you know, we

259
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: talk a lot about people interviewing and people love throwing

260
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: around names, and obviously that you know, after two weeks

261
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: it was it was Koubiak's kid in New Orleans. Well,

262
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: that train fell off the tracks. Slow X offense has

263
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: been having a lot of issues. I don't care what

264
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: their record ends up being. If you just watch the

265
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: Bucks play offense, like if you watch the Chiefs play offense,

266
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: the Bucks play offense like, those are just two well

267
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: run operations given what they have. Like I defend the Chiefs, like,

268
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: why is their offense not more explosive? I don't know.

269
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: They have a thirty six year old jet center at

270
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: tight end. They have a young kid Worthy who clearly

271
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: swim in a little bit. They have Kareem Hunt, who

272
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: was on the street. I mean, what do you expect

273
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: the ninety nine rams like that? That's not gonna happen here.

274
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: So its same thing with the Bucks. So for both

275
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: those two teams in a rainstorm, how many offensive coordinators

276
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: in the league, given the personnel of those two teams,

277
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: would have been able to get around twenty four to

278
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: twenty five points at the end of regulation in that environment.

279
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if many could. So very very impressive night.

280
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: From a coaching standpoint, it's funny you watch there's so

281
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: many shitty teams in the league right now, and you

282
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: watch so many poorly coached operations, and then you like,

283
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: if I'm a Bucks fan, I'm holding my head high,

284
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: like this team this year, if it wasn't for some injuries,

285
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: we are right there. We are a playoff team. I

286
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: feel pretty confident about that, obviously, not now that they're

287
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: gonna probably end up being seven or eight wins. And God,

288
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: given their injuries, how many guys have missed games who

289
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: are missing them now and miss games earlier. It's coaching now.

290
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: If you want to like Todd, you gotta be a

291
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: little more aggressive. And I think there's a balance of

292
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: like Sirianni's reckless nature and just like now's the time,

293
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: Like now's the time to pounce, now's the time to

294
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: put your chips in the middle of the table, now's

295
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: the time to take a big swing. And it's just

296
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: clearly not really in his nature. And ultimately, I think

297
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: it's a big reason that they didn't win. And now

298
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: they've got the forty nine ers in six days, who

299
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: are going to bring in Christian McCaffrey and you're really

300
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: leaking oil and it kind of could fall apart here.

301
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: But I was really impressed with just the Bucks effort

302
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: and moxie and just no quit because I think some

303
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: teams might have folded, especially after Mahomes drove them, because

304
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: Andy and Mahomes and that defense who actually you know,

305
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: gave it up at the end. They just they're tough. Man.

306
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: You can't. It's really pretty crazy. I mean, I can't

307
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: imagine being a Chiefs fan like my age. Most of

308
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: your life, even the good teams never did shit in

309
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and then you guys just had some horrendous teams.

310
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: And now for basically the last five or six years,

311
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: it feels like you're unbeatable. Obviously, you haven't won it.

312
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: Every year, you've lost in a Super Bowl, you've lost

313
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: an AFC Championship game, but like the Patriots for twenty years,

314
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 1: it honestly feels like you guys never lose. And this

315
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: feeling it doesn't get any better as a sports fan,

316
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: it doesn't get any more enjoyable. You have, over the

317
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: course of the last six years, won it in every

318
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 1: conceivable way, tight games, blowouts, come from behind, guys injured

319
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 1: coming back from injury in a game. It's just it's

320
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: been remarkable to watch. There are so many parallels with

321
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: those kind of Patriot dynasty and just the mental toughness,

322
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: finding ways to win in games where you just don't

323
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: have it. Guys get injured and next guy comes up.

324
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 1: You're like, who you playing with? And the Hopkins trade,

325
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: I mean, that's you to talk about speaking about being aggressive,

326
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: Todd Bowl's not aggressive. Well, the Chiefs for aggressive a

327
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: couple of years weeks ago and traded for this guy.

328
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: And a couple of weeks later, he's catching nine or

329
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: ten balls, a couple of touchdowns and just making huge

330
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: play after huge play. And he's probably as fast as

331
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: me or you, and it does not matter because his

332
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: contested catches are elite. He's still a pretty good route runner,

333
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 1: and he's excellent in the short and intermediate game. And

334
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: now Mahomes is gonna have more and more trust with him.

335
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: Just throw the ball his way and most of the

336
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: time if he's looking at you, it's not a fifty

337
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 1: to fifty ball, it's like an eighty twenty ball him.

338
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: So we'll see if the Chiefs are inclined to do

339
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: anything more tomorrow. You know, there were some rumors on

340
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: the interweb about Latimore the corner from from the Saints, like, listen,

341
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,959
Speaker 1: you can never have enough DB's and defenders I mean,

342
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: if they were to do something like that, I would

343
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: imagine they'll still sniff around some offensive weapons, but maybe

344
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: they feel like you get Pachaco back, you let hopkins

345
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: Worthy keeps growing that if our defense is good enough,

346
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: we'll just smother you, as we did last season and

347
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: was a big reason that we were the super Bowl champs.

348
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 1: So Chiefs got eight to zero and the Bucks, you know,

349
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: lose their fourth game in the last five and now

350
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 1: face the forty nine ers who are coming off a buye.

351
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 1: So this this season could kind of get away from

352
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: them fast, even though it's not an embarrassment what happened

353
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: to them, right, we'll get into an embarrassment that happened

354
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: to a team in their division. But fun game. That

355
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: game got more entertaining as it went on. Let's do

356
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: a quick penthouse and outhouse because the outhouse is the

357
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 1: most fun part. I mean the penthouse. Chiefs are on scholarship,

358
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: they ain't moving, they were not going to leave tonight

359
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: even if they had lost that game. They're just this

360
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: team doesn't even fe good as the last couple of years,

361
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: and it's not inconceivable that they go what fifteen and

362
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: two is sixteen and one on the table. I'd be

363
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: stunned if they went undefeated, but someone's gotta beat them.

364
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 1: They just find ways. I would if I was a

365
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: betting man right now, I'd say fifteen to two, which

366
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: is a problem because the Bills are gonna lose another

367
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 1: game and they already have two losses in the Ravens

368
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: because they blew that game against the Ravens and lost

369
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: to Jamis Winston already got three losses. So you got

370
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: got a pretty comfortable lead because these other teams fucked

371
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: up early in the season. That like, listen, you watch

372
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: the Ravens when their offense is on, it's incredible. You

373
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: watch how well Josh Allen has played this year, and

374
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: honestly their defense, and I feel like this is a

375
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: pretty good muscle flexier for Sean McDermott. He takes a

376
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: lot of shit. He's made some mistakes in some big moments.

377
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: No one can dispute that. But we try to promote

378
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: a and hold up high. So many coaches in the NFL,

379
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott runs circles around what eighty five percent of them.

380
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just gonna be another thirteen win season

381
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 1: for the guy. And second or third seed and have

382
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: a pretty good chance. He's gonna be favored in playoff games.

383
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: And it's just like can he beat the Chiefs. It's like, yeah,

384
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: certain people just couldn't beat Michael Jordan. I trust me.

385
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: I lost a lot of people lose to Tiger Woods

386
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,959
Speaker 1: pretty sure. Not many people beat Tom Brady and if

387
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: you did, you immediately became a legend. So they're beating

388
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: everybody else, and it's really just gonna come down for

389
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: the Ravens and the Bills, like can you take him

390
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: out in this team in that organization, which it feels

391
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: like they are more susceptible this year. But I fell

392
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: for it last year and I got burned financially. That

393
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 1: says a lot of people did. And this year, even

394
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: if I'm like I don't trust him enough, I'm definitely

395
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: not betting against him. Might just be a stayaway. But

396
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: I think those three teams and we'll see what the

397
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: Steelers coming off the by play the Commanders this week,

398
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: that their record's gonna be really good and can they

399
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: win the division? Is this Russ thing a little smoke

400
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: and mirrors or is this sustainable? But you got TJ.

401
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: Watt I mean, a big reason last year that they

402
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: blimped into the playoffs because the guy got hurt and

403
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: he missed a lot of games. If he plays seventeen

404
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: games and he's healthy, he basically is their quarterback. He's

405
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: by far their best player, and he's one of the

406
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: most impactful players in the league. And you have a

407
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: guy like that. If Russ can just play solid in

408
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: these playoff games, if he can just wreck shop and

409
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: ruin whoever he's playing like, they would have a chance.

410
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: Not because of Russ, but because of TJ. Watt, which

411
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: is the type guy you want. I mean Chris Jones

412
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: that basically won the Chiefs the Super Bowl last year

413
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: in the biggest moment, he was the guy that shoved

414
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: Purty on the ground when Iyuk was wide open. And

415
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: to me, in the NFC, there's only one team that

416
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 1: deserves it right now. It's Alliance. I mean, there are

417
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 1: other teams that have a shot, but like Minnesota is

418
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: struggling to beat Joe Flacco. The Packers just got punked.

419
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: The Rams are coming. They're foreign four. The Niners are

420
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: foreign four. I mean the Cardinals. Actually, when you look

421
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 1: at their losses. Someone sent me this stat like the

422
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: teams they've lost to are combined like twenty seven and eight.

423
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: I mean, they have lost to excellent teams this season,

424
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: but I just I can't put them in that category. Atlanta, Like,

425
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, You're just I'm not taking you that seriously.

426
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: You're gonna be a playoff team. I probably plan on

427
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: betting against you in the first round. We'll have to

428
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: wait for the matchup, but I think I can already

429
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: see it from coming from a mile away, Like that's

430
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: a good underdog spot for the Green Bay Packers, the

431
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings if that's the Rams, or the forty nine

432
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: ers like Hammer time. So yeah, I mean, this is

433
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: the AFC's best teams, feel like better than the NFC's

434
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: best teams, which basically just feels like the Lions. And

435
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 1: then there's a huge group of other teams and we'll

436
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 1: see how it plays out over the next three or

437
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: four weeks, but I think it's fair to say that

438
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: the Lions have really kind of established themselves, you know,

439
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: alone with those other AFC teams the outhouse listen, a

440
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: lot of you guys like the Porta Potti Panthers, and

441
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: they deserved it. I mean, they had looked like an

442
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 1: expansion team. But when you are the Porta Potty Panthers

443
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: and your quarterback, who most people view as just a

444
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: major bust and not a very good player, leads essentially

445
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: a game winning drive against the Saints and then less

446
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: than what twelve fifteen hours after, they fired Dennis Allen.

447
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: In the nicest way possible, they're like, we love the guy,

448
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 1: we love the family. He'll always be a saint, but

449
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,479
Speaker 1: pack up your shit and get out here. You're an

450
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: embarrassment and rightfully so. And now they you know, the

451
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: thing going viral about the quarterbacks with the most losses,

452
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: it's basically just David Carr and Derek Carr. You know,

453
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: after year five, after your six, after your seven, no

454
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: one has more losses after year eleven than Derek Carr.

455
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: He has literally got Dennis Allen. He's been the starting

456
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: quarterback for Dennis Allen being fired twice, first time in

457
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: NFL history. Obviously a bunch of injuries. But you lose

458
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: to the Porta Potty Panthers, you have to fall under

459
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: that category two. And to me, that vault you in

460
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 1: a category like I watched a little bit on one

461
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 1: of the four boxes of the Titans, and Drake may like,

462
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 1: I just they don't have a lot going for them,

463
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: but I take them more seriously than a team that

464
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: just loses at Carolina as a massive favorite, Like I

465
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: can't even put them in the outhouse. You could argue,

466
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 1: once you lose to the porta potty Panthers, you go

467
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 1: into your own own category, like you're basically like the

468
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: shit at the bottom of the porta potty that is

469
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 1: the Saints. They've lost seven straight games. Listen, we can

470
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,959
Speaker 1: make fun of the Giants all we want. They're terrible

471
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: and they are going nowhere fast. But listen, their scores

472
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: might not totally reflect the game you watch, but you're like, hey,

473
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: they're just they're fighting along. They're just not very good.

474
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: No one thought that they were gonna beat the Commanders,

475
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: I would say everyone, especially when Derek plays. You're like, listen,

476
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: the Panthers are loosing this game. And then you look

477
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: up and Derek's looking over at Alvin Kamara and the

478
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: Panthers have the ball back and they're just kneeling it.

479
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: You're like, wait, are the Panthers about to win this

480
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: game and have the same amount of wins as the Giants?

481
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: As the Saints, as the Titans, as the Patriots. You're like, no, no,

482
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, so I for this week's out house,

483
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 1: I gotta put one NFC. I'm putting the Saints over

484
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: the Panthers as being that shitty. And then the other

485
00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: team who fires three coaches? Who fires in right after Halloween?

486
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: Three coaches on the offensive side of the ball with

487
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: a first year head coach. It is crazy. And here's

488
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: the irony here. How connected they are? Dennis Allen, Derek

489
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: Carr former Raiders now in the Saints. Everyone's getting fired.

490
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 1: Who's interconnected here? It's like, how can you as someone

491
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 1: send me a textasda a former NFL players? Like who

492
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: cleans house like this in the middle of the season.

493
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,239
Speaker 1: What is this gonna do? It's not like you have

494
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: some top twelve quarterback who's underachieving. Your quarterbacks are eight

495
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: and O'Connell, who ninety nine percent of sports fans couldn't

496
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 1: point out of a lineup. And Gardner Minshew, who is

497
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: the ultimate backup quarterback, and if you put him on

498
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: a good team and he has a right coach, he

499
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: could be kind of competitive like every other game. If

500
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 1: you put him on an awful team with bad coaching.

501
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 1: You are fucked. I mean you should bet against that

502
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 1: team every single week. Angles are in shambles, in absolute shambles.

503
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: And you looked up and Joe Burrow's like, ooh whoop, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown.

504
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: It's like the Raiders. It is crazy. Listen, years change, presidents,

505
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: change weather changes one thing never one thing never changes,

506
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: always stays the same. Is the Raiders suck? It is insane.

507
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 1: How crappy this franchise is. Okay, this was a game

508
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: that has been circled on the calendar the last several

509
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: years because it's usually had huge playoff implications. It's had

510
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: huge implications for the division and for home field. But

511
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: now the Cowboys s think and the Eagles are basically

512
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: battling the Commanders and they are currently a massive favorite

513
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: on the road in Dallas. Obviously, Dak Prescott injured his

514
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: handstring out. You have Ceedee Lamb hurt his shoulder week

515
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: to week. Who knows if he's gonna play before we

516
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: get into the Cowboys watching the Eagles. And this is

517
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: why I picked him to start the year. I don't

518
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: think we can. I think people underestimated how much talent

519
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: is on that team. I also think people underestimated how

520
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: good Saquon Barkley is if he's healthy. He is such

521
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: a difference making player. He is just the total package

522
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: as a runner. Can run inside, can break tackles, can

523
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: go off tackle, can go outside, runs, sweeps pitches, you

524
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: get him in space. He's got elite speed. Obviously the

525
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: play that went viral doing the three sixty the backwards

526
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: hurdle like he's an all time athlete and he's got

527
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: elite speed and power like this guy is a game

528
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,959
Speaker 1: changing player to go with DeVante Smith, who's a no

529
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: doubt about it contract extension guy. The Eagles already that

530
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: and aj Brown went healthy, which you know he's battles

531
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: some injuries. Is easily one of the best wide receivers

532
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: in the league. They have a good offensive line, they have,

533
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: you know, a quarterback who's playing at a high level

534
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: and when he's proven, when he runs like he's a

535
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: very very effective player. And they got Vig Fangio on

536
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: defense with a ton of talented players. Linebacker can be

537
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: a little bit of a question mark, but a lot

538
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: of young defensive linemen that this team is oozing with talent.

539
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: Now their coach is like a drunk dude at a

540
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: blackjack table hitting on seventeen and eighteen. It is a

541
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: wild ride, it really is, you know, going forward on

542
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: fourth and shorts going for it on two pointers instead

543
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: of just kicking the field goals. He's very entertaining, he

544
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: really is. And that game, you know against the Jags

545
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: little freakish. It was close. They're up twenty two to nothing.

546
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: The Jags score like the next player or two. Saquon

547
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: does you know a fumble where he just falls on

548
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: the ground by himself, ball hits the ground, You're not

549
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: technically down because no one hits you. Jacks pick it

550
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: up and return it for a touchdown. So and then listen,

551
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: the Jags got two two pointers, so it was twenty

552
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: two to sixteen. You're like, WHOA. I started thinking, if

553
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: Sirianni blows this to Doug Peterson, Joe l Embiid is

554
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,719
Speaker 1: completely off the hook. But he didn't. He handled it.

555
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: Nikobe Dean made a great pick on an awful play

556
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: by one of the most overrated players in like the

557
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: history of America and Trevor Lawrence. But listen, the Eagles,

558
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: like this team is gonna win twelve for thirteen games

559
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: on talent alone. Now do we trust him when they

560
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs. With Sirianni just kind of reckless nature,

561
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: you never quite know what's gonna happen. It's gonna be

562
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: a wild ride, must watch television, big win for the Eagles,

563
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: But they go into Dallas and all signs pointing to

564
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: them kicking the shit out of them. I actually think

565
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: if you're a Cowboy fan, this is a good thing.

566
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: Cause listen, it was clear early on, yeah, probably not

567
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: a playoff team. Now it's kind of clear you're headed

568
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: for a disastrous season. Let's use the Chargers last year

569
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: as an example. Their season fell off the rails. It

570
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: ended up twofold. I mean two things happened. Right, landed

571
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh and landed top picks in every round. Well,

572
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: they found their starting right tackle who's a stud in

573
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: Joe Alt because they drafted fifth. Then they also drafted

574
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: high in the second round, and they got Lad McConkey,

575
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: who's gonna be a high end player in the NFL

576
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: for a long time. And they got other guys in

577
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: the draft. Obviously, they really like when you have an

578
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: awful season and you're not gonna make the playoffs. You

579
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: are much better off going six and eleven and drafting

580
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: eighth then going eight to nine in drafting fifteenth, because

581
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: it's not just about the first round, it's literally about

582
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: every round. So in the second round you are drafting

583
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: thirty ninth or forty first. How often do we see

584
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: guys at the top of the second round become impact

585
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: All Pro players. So clearly the Cowboys are going to

586
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: have a new coach. Mike McCarthy's not going to be extended.

587
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: They're going to blow it all up, rightfully, so, but

588
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: this job, to me becomes way more desirable. Obviously, Jerry's

589
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: a wild card, not an easy environment to work in,

590
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: and they have a ton of high priced players right

591
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: Dak's making two hundred CDs, make it over one hundred.

592
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: Parson has to get paid this offseason. They have three

593
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: guys they're invested in that make as much money as

594
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: any other team's three guys. It's a boatload of cash

595
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: they have invested in this guys. You got to hit

596
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: on draft picks. I think they've drafted pretty well over

597
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, but now gives you an

598
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: opportunity to draft premium players because it is hard to

599
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: draft at twenty five right, because it's not just twenty

600
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: five on Thursday night in round one. Twenty fifth in

601
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: the second round is twenty fifth in the third round.

602
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: You're just picking at the end of the rounds for

603
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: all seven rounds. Now, obviously you can manipulate it and

604
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: trade up, but like, look at the Chargers. The Chargers

605
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: have a long way to go, and we'll get into

606
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: them in a minute, but like, the easiest way to

607
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: just get the train back on the tracks is to

608
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: utilize Once you get a new coach, a new administration

609
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 1: that you feel comfortable knows what they're doing. Now, part

610
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: of Jerry's job this offseason gonna be to land his

611
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: gym Harbaugh. Is that Bill Belichick? Is that Mike Frable,

612
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. But if they get the coach right,

613
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: you can really take advantage of a draft after a

614
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: bad season. Because the Cowboys for three straight years have

615
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: been drafting twelve or excuse me, I mean, have been

616
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: winning twelve games. They haven't been sniffing, drafting in the

617
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: top ten of the rounds. And now, like this season

618
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: clearly is gonna suck, the rest of the year is

619
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: gonna be rough. It is could get uglier. As Dak said,

620
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: we bleep and suck, and he's not wrong. They do.

621
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:11,240
Speaker 1: They're a tough watch. So the silver lining is the draft,

622
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: and you want to be as crappy the rest of

623
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: the season as possible. I don't think, you know, winning

624
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: one or two more games the rest of season, that

625
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: is not the worst thing. Speaking of chaotic franchises, it

626
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: was last year at this time that the Raiders, and

627
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: rightfully so, fired Josh McDaniels, who, like his previous stop

628
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,280
Speaker 1: in Denver, had become the first head coach in NFL

629
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: history to not make it past year two in either

630
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: spot of his head coaching tenures. Obviously, they fired the

631
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: general manager as well. Well, then they go all in

632
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,439
Speaker 1: on Antonio Pierce and he gets the pick of the litter,

633
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: like you get to hire any staff you want. And

634
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: he hires some guys lou Getzi, which everyone's like, are

635
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: we sure luke Getzy's any good? The iires Rich Skangarello,

636
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: who is kind of a laughingstock within NFL circles, and

637
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: he also hires the assistant offensive line coach from the

638
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers. Well, last night some people text me,

639
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: I'm trying to fall asleep at like eleven twelve o'clock,

640
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: and it's sometimes hard after football nights, you gotta kind

641
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: of come down. I'm just laying there, wide awake, but

642
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to look at my phone because I

643
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: remember these Chip Kelly talked about he brought in these

644
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,760
Speaker 1: Navy seal guys that like, when you put the phone

645
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,919
Speaker 1: close to your eyes late at night, you trigger something

646
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: in your brain. You're just making it worse trying to

647
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 1: fall asleep. So I try to be careful with that

648
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: phone in my eyes when I'm laying in bed, like

649
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: past like ten thirty eleven o'clock. So people are texting

650
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 1: me about the Raiders firing somebody, and I'm not really

651
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: paying attention. And when I get up this morning, I

652
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: realized they didn't just fire their offensive coordinator, they fired

653
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: three people. It really is kind of sad how bad

654
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: Mark Davis has been because i'mlike Dan Snyder, which by

655
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: all accounts was like legitimately a bad people hated working

656
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 1: there and it was just an embarrassment. I do think

657
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: Mark's heart is in the right place. He is really

658
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 1: trying to do the right thing right. He goes from Gruden,

659
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: who gets fired midseason that was out of his control.

660
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: Then he gets an offseason, he goes, listen, we have

661
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: the special teams coach that everyone likes of the interim,

662
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 1: but I got the opportunity to hire Josh mc daniels

663
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 1: and his general manager from Belichick. I think this is

664
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: worth the risk. Blows up in his face. Then he

665
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 1: kind of goes back to I should have hired the

666
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: interim coach. You got players on your team telling you

667
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: to hire Antonio Piers. He does. Then Cliff Kingsbury won't

668
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: take the job because your organization is a little cheap.

669
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: You'll only offer him two year contract. Washington's like, we'll

670
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: give you three, partly because you don't fully trust Antonio

671
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: Piers and you don't want to be obligated for more

672
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: years if you got to end up firing everybody, which

673
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: in a weird way, was the right call by the

674
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,879
Speaker 1: Raiders and also the right call by Cliff. Go their

675
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: separate ways. Clearly he's going to change Cliff's life being

676
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:05,240
Speaker 1: in Washington. Coach and Jane Daniels. The Raiders just blow

677
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: everyone out who I don't think would have been hired

678
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: as coordinators anywhere, and now you just have this chaotic

679
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 1: hamster wheel that never ends. And the Raiders were able

680
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: to be much more ruthless in this modern day situation

681
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: of the franchise because the media deals worth more, they

682
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: have more money. Vegas is worth dramatically more than the

683
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: disastrous Oakland situation. He just has money to pay guys.

684
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 1: A couple million dollars, a couple of million dollars pay

685
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: guys to go away, because even if they only gave

686
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: this offensive coordinator a two year deal, like he's probably

687
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: making one and a half million dollars a year, So

688
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: Mark Davis is probably paying him over two million just

689
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 1: to not work. Talking about the American Dream. One time,

690
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 1: I've been paid to go away and it was I

691
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: don't remember. Maybe it was ten grand, maybe it was

692
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: twenty grand. It felt like at the time a lot

693
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: of money. I can't imagine being paid over seven figures

694
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: to not work. It's like, wait, I'm really rich, and

695
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: I don't have you telling me not to come into

696
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: the job. You would be surprised how often I talk

697
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: to people around the NFL that say, person X, who's

698
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: a general manager, who's a coach, who's an assistant coach.

699
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: His fingers are crossed that they fire him. He would

700
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: die to be paid to leave this situation. He is miserable.

701
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: They're humans too, and you get put in these positions

702
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: where you're stuck. Listen, I'm not crying for these guys.

703
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,760
Speaker 1: They are making a boatload of money. We're talking about

704
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 1: one percenters. Life is good. It's like, what about their children, Well, yeah, okay,

705
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: maybe they off the move. They're still going to private

706
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 1: school and they can still get, you know, a eighty

707
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 1: thousand dollars car for him on their sixteenth birthday. So

708
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:58,720
Speaker 1: like their problems are first class problems. Plus they chose

709
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: this profession. Part of coaching is moving. I don't feel

710
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: sorry for you there, pick another job if you don't

711
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: want to move around. It's part of the gig. That's

712
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: why it pays a premium. But I just feel like

713
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 1: the Raiders are just so poorly run and this is

714
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,720
Speaker 1: never gonna end. And this is not a Dan Snyder

715
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 1: situation where it's just like he's just a bad guy.

716
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 1: Everyone likes Mark. He is literally trying to win, but

717
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: it's just not gonna work with him as the owner.

718
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: Like we have enough evidence now it's the same shit

719
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: every year. It literally never ends. They fire coaches in

720
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: the middle of the season more than any franchise. It

721
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: really is nuts. It's always a coordinator here, an offensive

722
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 1: coordinator here, a defensive coordinator there, a head coach there,

723
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: a head coach there. It never ends. Everyone made fun

724
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: of Al Davis at the end of his life, right

725
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: he was going through a coach here, coach there, firing

726
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: people on stop. This is the same situation, just at

727
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 1: a higher level because they have more and they have

728
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 1: some good players on the team. Get rid of DeVante.

729
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 1: Now you got Max Crosby. The owner says, we won't

730
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: trade Max Crosby. You're going nowhere, and you're going nowhere fast.

731
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:14,479
Speaker 1: Your team is a joke. And to me like this

732
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 1: is I just think we have enough evidence as long

733
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 1: as the Davis family owns this team, this is never

734
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 1: going to change. It really is not, because I think

735
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: we can already see the light at the end of

736
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: the tunnel. In this situation, is Antonio Pierce so one

737
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: and done. It's clearly on the table. How could you

738
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:40,840
Speaker 1: argue otherwise like he is, he's safe. In what world

739
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: would a guy that fires three coaches? November one, essentially

740
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 1: his first year is the full time head coach safe.

741
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: In any other situation, a coach that blows guys like

742
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,399
Speaker 1: this out in the middle of the season, you'd be like, well,

743
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: his job is next. And this is the thing, Like,

744
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 1: would anyone be shocked if the day after the season

745
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 1: Antonio Pierce has fired, Tom tellesco is fired. It never ends.

746
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,919
Speaker 1: And I feel for Raider fans because in a league

747
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 1: where every team it feels like, has moments, they just

748
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: never do. They not only never win, they always suck.

749
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: They don't even They're at the point now where the

750
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 1: majority of their games you don't need to watch. They

751
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:37,919
Speaker 1: are completely irrelevant. And I hear all these people say

752
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: this all the time, these older people around the NFL,

753
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 1: the league is better when the Raiders are good. And

754
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 1: the answer is that's just not true, because for the

755
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: last twenty plus years, the league has never ever been

756
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 1: more popular and made more money, and the Raiders for

757
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: the last fifty years have never been more irrelevant to

758
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: the landscape of winning and losing because they always lose.

759
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 1: And now they're in a division with Andy Reid and

760
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. Who is I don't know easily if Belichick

761
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: and Brady because they got six or one A. They

762
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: gotta be one B in my lifetime. You got Jim Harbaugh,

763
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,760
Speaker 1: who are about to dive into is just a winning machine.

764
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 1: And Sean Payton and Bo Nicks like you can just

765
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: see the trajectory of the franchise. They are dramatically better

766
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: than they were last year, and next year I would

767
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,919
Speaker 1: imagine they'll be dramatically better than they were this year

768
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 1: as they get more and more money once they get

769
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: rid of that Russell Wilson cap space. I just feel

770
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:43,720
Speaker 1: sorry for this fan base because what are you supposed

771
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 1: to do? I mean, you're just stuck and you just

772
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: know the outcome and you try to sell yourself in

773
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 1: the off season maybe this is the year, maybe we

774
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: can compete, And then it's not even Halloween. You're like, yeah,

775
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: we just suck again. How does this happen? I don't know.

776
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Chargers, and listen, part of football is

777
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: most of these owners, the difference of them all is

778
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 1: you just hire the right guy or you don't. And

779
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: there is an element of luck and randomness in all this. Right,

780
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,240
Speaker 1: the Chargers have been the better version of the Raiders

781
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: for the last twenty years. But they are synonymous with

782
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: that franchise because they also have just found ways to

783
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 1: lose on a higher level, and they have made the

784
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: playoffs more consistently, and they have had better teams. But

785
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: like the Raiders, it was always easy to make fun

786
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: of them because they always went cheap on the coach.

787
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: You're like, how is this team not better than it is?

788
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: It's like, well, they have the second lowest paid coach

789
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 1: in the league. That's what I've always given credit to

790
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: Mark Davis. He has really tried when he does not

791
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: have the money to I mean now he does, but

792
00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: at the time when he hired Gruden, it was a

793
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 1: really aggressive move. They hadn't moved yet, he didn't have

794
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 1: the influx of cash. He said, I give the guy

795
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: a hundred million dollars. Then a couple of years later,

796
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: I'll give Josh McDaniels eighty million dollars. It blew up

797
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 1: in his face. But I give you credit for being aggressive,

798
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,399
Speaker 1: because you know, if you get that guy right, it

799
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: changes the landscape where you're heading. Dean Spanos has always

800
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: been the opposite. It's like, we could give me Mike

801
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: McCoy for two million dollars, give me Brandon Staley for

802
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: four million dollars, give me Anthony Lynn for three and

803
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: a half million dollars. It's like, Dean, this isn't that complicated.

804
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 1: Why your team is underachieving because you need a coach

805
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 1: that is worth three or four x what you're paying

806
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: this guy. And this offseason, the heavens aligned. Jim Harbaugh

807
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 1: wanted out because the NCAA was coming after his ass

808
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: but I got an asking price. I cost sixteen million

809
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: dollars a year, and the coaches I'm bringing with me,

810
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: Zach Minter, my defensive coordinator, he ain't cheap either. He

811
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: probably he makes close to what Anthony Lynn and Mike

812
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:06,839
Speaker 1: McCoy were making. Maybe Brandon Staley made a little more

813
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 1: than him, But my guess is he makes two and

814
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: a half three million dollars and Jim's well over fifteen.

815
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 1: And guess what happens in Jim Harbaugh's last three stops

816
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine ers in twenty ten or

817
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: six and ten his first year in twenty eleven, they

818
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 1: were thirteen and three. This is why I told everybody

819
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: I don't give a shit what their roster looks like.

820
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 1: I don't care how limited. Their wide receivers are. I

821
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:36,359
Speaker 1: don't care. How bad do you think their depth is?

822
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: This fucking guy does one thing, and one thing only.

823
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 1: He wins everywhere he goes, and the first thing he

824
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:49,479
Speaker 1: does is turn that thing around immediately. I'm not saying

825
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna win the Super Bowl year one. I wasn't

826
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:53,359
Speaker 1: say he was gonna win the National Championship year one.

827
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 1: But he ain't gonna lose his first year at Michigan.

828
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 1: Remember in twenty fourteen, his last year with the forty

829
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 1: nine Ers, the Mission and Wolverines went five and seven.

830
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: Harbaugh's first year, they went ten and three. Last year

831
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: the Chargers, I think we even forget this because this

832
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:16,280
Speaker 1: ten months removed, they went five and twelve. Five and twelve.

833
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: They drafted last year ahead of the New York Giants.

834
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,720
Speaker 1: Think about that, How shitty we view the New York Giants,

835
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 1: How bad they have been. The Chargers drafted ahead of

836
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 1: the New York Giants. The Chargers drafted ahead of the

837
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. Think think how many bad teams the Chargers

838
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:36,879
Speaker 1: drafted ahead of last year? They were that bad five

839
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:42,840
Speaker 1: and twelve. Jim Harbaud November fourth, currently has five wins.

840
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:47,320
Speaker 1: His records for the last three spots were sixteen and

841
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: twenty nine. He's out even halfway through this season, he's

842
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 1: twenty eight and nine, and I would imagine five. I

843
00:47:56,520 --> 00:48:00,040
Speaker 1: mean he's at minimum winning five more games. Bet he

844
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 1: gets to eleven, so you're talking six, he's gonna have

845
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:07,399
Speaker 1: thirty four wins. That is almost in three spots year one,

846
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 1: almost a twenty win difference. Assuming he gets to eleven wins.

847
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 1: Who knows to me, I go to twelve. Look at

848
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 1: a schedule. It's crazy. How good this guy is. It

849
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: really is. And yeah, he's a weirdo, and yeah he

850
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 1: talks sometimes all over the map, and he's just a

851
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: different cat. He's a borderline nut job. But he is

852
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,319
Speaker 1: a football savant and whatever the hell he does, and

853
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:33,320
Speaker 1: I've heard this forever, well he doesn't call the plays.

854
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 1: He's got of a meat heead. You can give me

855
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 1: any fucking excuse you want about the guy. All I

856
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 1: know is his resume speaks for itself. In this industry

857
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 1: more than any other, you can quantify a guy is

858
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 1: a good or bad based on one thing. What's his

859
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:56,240
Speaker 1: win loss record? And everywhere this guy goes that loss

860
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 1: to win ratio is always like you're losing way more

861
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: than you're winning. And then you get Jim and that

862
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 1: pendulum immediately flips, and all of a sudden, within a

863
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: couple of years, you're competing for Super Bowls, you're competing

864
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 1: for national championships. And once he got that monkey off

865
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 1: his back, which was a really big deal because I listen,

866
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 1: if you wanted to be critical, he could never win

867
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,799
Speaker 1: the big one, like history was on your side up

868
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 1: until twenty twenty three, and the moment he beat Nick

869
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:27,359
Speaker 1: Saban in the Rose Bowl, it was on like Donkey Kong.

870
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: Clearly he matched up really well against Washington and de

871
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 1: Boor kicked his ass. National champs. If they do a

872
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 1: good enough job building this thing. They're not good enough

873
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,399
Speaker 1: this year, they might not even be good enough next year.

874
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 1: But within a couple of years. He currently has Justin Herbert,

875
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 1: who last year everyone's like, what the hell's going on

876
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 1: with Justin Herbert? Stop comparing him to mahomes Lamar and

877
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. He's over sixty five percent with receivers that

878
00:49:56,560 --> 00:50:01,719
Speaker 1: are meh at best. He has ten touchdowns in one interception,

879
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: and I don't think the numbers do him Justice. When

880
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:06,359
Speaker 1: you watch him play, you go, yeah, there's a big four.

881
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 1: There's Mahomes, Lamar Allen. There's basically one, one B in

882
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:17,880
Speaker 1: one C and then there's two because this guy's that good.

883
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 1: And I told Colin you could throw Matt Stafford in

884
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:22,479
Speaker 1: there as well. That would probably be the top five

885
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 1: as we sit here today, just in terms of physical

886
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 1: gifts and everything. Obviously, Jared Goff's having an incredible season,

887
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: but we all acknowledge, like Jared Geff doesn't have these

888
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 1: guys physical gifts. Herbert at any moment can run thirty

889
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:37,959
Speaker 1: yards right, and obviously he can throw it a mile long,

890
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 1: so can the other guys. Lamar probably has the worst

891
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 1: arm out of the group, but he's by far the

892
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 1: best athlete, and he's become so accurate. And I'm not

893
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 1: saying his arms bad, but relative to like Josh Allen, Justin, Herbert,

894
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford, it's not quite that, even though it's really good. Obviously,

895
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 1: Jared Goff, like I just I don't put him in

896
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: that category, even though he's having an elite season. And

897
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 1: I just think Jim Bak andngrats Man because you are

898
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:06,320
Speaker 1: a certified ass kicker, Okay, a couple of NFL notes

899
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:11,919
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey and listen, I'm recording this basically twenty four

900
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: hours before the trade deadline, so we'll see what happens.

901
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: But if this guy is healthy by far, unless Miles

902
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:25,839
Speaker 1: garrettor Max Crosby is traded, the biggest trade acquisition will

903
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 1: beat Christian McCaffrey, a guy that has not played this season.

904
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 1: If he comes back and he looks eighty five ninety

905
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 1: percent of what he was, that is a massive addition.

906
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 1: And that puts the forty nine ers not just back

907
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 1: into the playoff conversation, but like into the NFC landscape.

908
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 1: Remember they beat the Packers in the Lions last year.

909
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 1: Like this was a team that has owned the Rams.

910
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 1: This is a team that last year played the Eagles

911
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,799
Speaker 1: and beat the living piss out of them. So they

912
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 1: are going to be very comfortable playing all these teams. Now,

913
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 1: you could argue the Lions are better this year, and

914
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: the other thing, the Lions are gonna have his home

915
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:04,280
Speaker 1: field advantage more than likely. And what I know whether

916
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: like the Eagles only have one game difference, the same

917
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 1: with Washington. So we'll see how the season plays out.

918
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 1: But the Niners are not gonna have home field advantage

919
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 1: like they did last year, so they will have to

920
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:15,839
Speaker 1: go on the road. Well, I've seen him go to Dallas,

921
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:17,760
Speaker 1: I've seen him go to Green Bay and win playoff games.

922
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 1: They have done it before. They're comfortable in that environment,

923
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:24,320
Speaker 1: and I just think they're a team that if Christian

924
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 1: McCaffrey comes back and he looks the part, watch out

925
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:32,279
Speaker 1: because that is as big of an addition you can

926
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: make during the trade deadline, unless, like I said, Max

927
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 1: Crosby or Miles Garrett, which all signs point to they

928
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 1: will not be dealt. Though if I were those teams,

929
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 1: I would highly entertain trading him both. You know, someone

930
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 1: texted me today a buddy in the league was like,

931
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 1: remember when Adam Peters took a bunch of crap during

932
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 1: the like his quarterback search when he basically went up

933
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 1: to the last couple of days and he went to

934
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 1: top Golf and he did a lot of work right

935
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 1: up until the end on what quarterback he was going

936
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 1: to draft, right because he knew Caleb Williams, who the

937
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 1: Bears basically acknowledged they were going to draft six months

938
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:14,799
Speaker 1: before they even know the draft came about, Like they

939
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 1: knew they were drafting him in the fall, and Adam

940
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: Peters took a lot of shit. Their story is not written.

941
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 1: And I said this to Colin, and I said this

942
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 1: on my podcast. By no means are you putting anything

943
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 1: in concrete or in sharpie. But as we sit here

944
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 1: right now, the gap between these two players is a

945
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:39,319
Speaker 1: mile wide. And the one thing Caleb's gonna have to

946
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 1: overcome that now, Jaden, it looks like the Washington Commanders

947
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 1: is gonna be well run. Is not is a franchise

948
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 1: that just doesn't really know what they're doing for this

949
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 1: very historic, this huge brand and this massive city that

950
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:57,359
Speaker 1: has this huge fan base. The Bears historically are kind

951
00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:59,720
Speaker 1: of a joke the last I don't know, fifteen years.

952
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 1: I mean, their owner feels like she's one hundred and

953
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:08,040
Speaker 1: fifty years old. They're very cheap, and it reflects what

954
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: we're watching this season, ever, flews completely over his head

955
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,759
Speaker 1: and the last two weeks are complete embarrassment. And then

956
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,839
Speaker 1: you got Jayden, who just has dominated kind of from

957
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 1: day one, who has a real coach and now a

958
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 1: real competitive owner and a GM that has won rings

959
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:30,280
Speaker 1: with multiple teams, who was the most qualified general manager

960
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:35,760
Speaker 1: candidate probably the last twenty years. So it is funny

961
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: how things age. Adam Peters taking these guys to top golf,

962
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 1: does he know what he's doing? Meanwhile, the Bears, it's

963
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 1: like they zeroed in on Caleb Williams. Should maybe they

964
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:47,240
Speaker 1: have done a little bit of research on Jayden Daniels

965
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 1: because you just watch the guys play physically. Part of

966
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 1: the knock was Caleb's all time physical freak. What the

967
00:54:54,520 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 1: hell's the difference, Jaden elite arm, Jaden better athlete, So

968
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 1: it's easier for him to see he definitely has more touch.

969
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:09,400
Speaker 1: Now you could argue it's just confidence, right, and Caleb's

970
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:11,840
Speaker 1: lost his because he's playing for an organization that just

971
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 1: ruined your confidence, which okay, But how often are we

972
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 1: gonna make excuses? Is it gonna be like year four

973
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 1: or five like we're doing with Trevor Lawrence.

974
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 3: Well, if he if he played here, if he had

975
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:23,880
Speaker 3: this guy coaching for him, if he was throwing it

976
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 3: to this guy. It's like, guys, we've been watching him

977
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 3: for long enough, now can we just acknowledgem not very good,

978
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:33,839
Speaker 3: He's not terrible. He's not like some JaMarcus Russell all

979
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 3: time scrub. But he's just not that good, especially relative

980
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:40,840
Speaker 3: to paying a guy two hundred million dollars. If you

981
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:44,720
Speaker 3: ask the Jags right now, you can get a redo,

982
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:47,359
Speaker 3: you can do a little take back.

983
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 1: Hey, I know we handed you two hundred million dollars.

984
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 1: We'd like to take that back. What do you think

985
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 1: they would say? Of course they would say yes, which

986
00:55:57,280 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 1: it was moronic at the time, like guys even Tua,

987
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,319
Speaker 1: like at the time, at least Tua had produced for

988
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 1: multiple years at a much higher level, like Trevor Lawrence,

989
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 1: Like this guy didn't even throw twenty touchdowns last year?

990
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: Are you sure about this one? It's like, yeah, we

991
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 1: think we are. And then six months later, uh, not

992
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 1: really well, of course, not awful decision. So I just

993
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:22,880
Speaker 1: think sometimes it's funny how stories happening around the draft

994
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,840
Speaker 1: where we just give a guy a bunch of credit

995
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:30,319
Speaker 1: and then we're critical of another guy, and then six

996
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:32,400
Speaker 1: months later we look back and we're like, eh, that

997
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 1: was a pretty terrible take. That wasn't one of my takes.

998
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I have everyone freaking out about top golf.

999
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 1: It's like, who would have thought six months later the

1000
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:53,400
Speaker 1: Washington has the best quarterback by a pretty wide margin. Okay,

1001
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 1: let's do a little mail back, nothing too long. I'll

1002
00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 1: get to a lot of mail bags over the course

1003
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 1: of this week. So John Midlcoff is the Instagram. Fire

1004
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 1: in those dms. If you're watching this on YouTube, fire

1005
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:09,800
Speaker 1: in my Instagram dms, you're listening on the podcast, phone

1006
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 1: wide open, Holler at me. I've got this question a lot. Obviously,

1007
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 1: there are a lot of Bears fans who are very,

1008
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 1: very not just obviously down on the coaching staff, but

1009
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 1: question the quarterback. And basically this question is it looks

1010
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 1: like Caleb Williams is relearning the position. He looks hesitant

1011
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 1: to make decisions. Whenever he bombs it, it looks predetermined.

1012
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 1: He never hits it. He can't sit in the pocket

1013
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:41,919
Speaker 1: and make go through progressions. It doesn't help to play

1014
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:44,920
Speaker 1: for the Bears. Waldron and the coaching staff are idiots,

1015
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 1: but Caleb is flat out missing guys. And this has

1016
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 1: been a theme question we get daily and obviously after

1017
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 1: Sunday when he looks bad, consistently people ask these questions,

1018
00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 1: and people thought I was being a hater. And after

1019
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 1: they played Carolina and Jacksonville, like I told Colin, like

1020
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm just not going to anoint them after

1021
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 1: beating those two teams. Jacksonville's defense is a joke, Carolina.

1022
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 1: I mean, unless you're playing Dennis Allen is going to

1023
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 1: lose to everybody. They are not very good either, so

1024
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 1: when they play real teams. They did Houston early in

1025
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 1: the season, he was overmatched because the offensive line's overmatched.

1026
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 1: You see him against Washington, He's hideous. Ninety five percent

1027
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 1: of the game does make He is very talented, but

1028
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 1: just in terms of playing quarterback, there's a difference between

1029
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 1: he has the physical skills. Anthony Richardson has a lot

1030
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:45,440
Speaker 1: of talent, can't play quarterback. Caleb's a better obviously than

1031
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, but he's much closer to that than he

1032
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,920
Speaker 1: is to just being a good player. And we can

1033
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 1: blame the coaching. I do think Ryan Poles deserves shit too.

1034
00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 1: I love Romadunza. I would want Roma Donsay on my team.

1035
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 1: But if they could do it over again, you cannot

1036
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:05,120
Speaker 1: convince me that they wouldn't have taken an offensive lineman

1037
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 1: at number nine. You just can't convince me they got

1038
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen, cole Comet Swift, and Dj Moore and you

1039
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 1: could have just, I don't know, signed two or three

1040
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 1: undrafted free agents and let the cream rise. Roam's a

1041
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 1: good player, but that was not what they needed. They

1042
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:28,320
Speaker 1: had a good defense, they needed offensive lineman. So the

1043
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 1: offensive line isn't good and he feels rattled, and the

1044
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 1: coaching staff's bad, and it's all directly tied to each other.

1045
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 1: So do I think the guy's going to be a bust?

1046
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 1: I do not, But he's got a long way before

1047
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 1: we just call him a good player because right now

1048
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 1: he's not a good player. He's just not a good player.

1049
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 1: He's got talent, but he when you watch him, does

1050
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:58,240
Speaker 1: not play well. Are the Panthers having a historically bad

1051
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:02,480
Speaker 1: two seasons? Obviously, in terms of wins, there's not much

1052
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 1: to cheer about. But in my life I can't remember

1053
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:09,919
Speaker 1: someone having back to back number one overall picks, which

1054
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 1: the Panthers are on track to do unless they put

1055
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 1: together a two game win streak. This was before the

1056
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 1: Saints game against the Saints and the Giants, well, they

1057
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 1: won one game. Can you imagine getting up early to

1058
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 1: watch Panthers Giants, which is an international game. I love

1059
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:30,640
Speaker 1: it when there's an international game that is just completely

1060
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 1: irrelevant if you wake up early. Now, if you live

1061
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 1: on the East coast, the game kicks off at nine thirty.

1062
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 1: But if you live on the West coast and you

1063
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 1: get up, you're you're a sicko, a junkie, because even

1064
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 1: myself and I've gotten up early, like the Jets game,

1065
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 1: the Bears game. But this is a game that just

1066
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 1: does not matter. It just does not matter. And if

1067
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:58,560
Speaker 1: someone that does this for a living, I have a

1068
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 1: soft spot for games that just do not matter because

1069
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:04,440
Speaker 1: I just I can focus on other stuff. I just

1070
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 1: don't need to focus. Like there's nothing that can happen

1071
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 1: in this game that matters. So basically the question is

1072
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 1: it's hard to even evaluate the organization at this point.

1073
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:17,240
Speaker 1: Head coach in DC seem like they will be successful,

1074
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:21,280
Speaker 1: but there is almost zero talent on this roster. Where

1075
01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 1: do the Panthers go from here? Well, I do think

1076
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:29,920
Speaker 1: I think I heard or read or looked. I definitely looked,

1077
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 1: but I've heard people say this. There are seven teams

1078
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:34,920
Speaker 1: right now with two and seven records, so the number

1079
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 1: one overall pick. We'll see how this goes. This is

1080
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:44,360
Speaker 1: actually one of those games that's a huge moment. Neither

1081
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 1: one of these teams is winning five games, so whoever

1082
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:55,520
Speaker 1: loses this is in prime position because the Giants have

1083
01:01:55,640 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 1: already lost to The Giants lost to the camp Boys,

1084
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:08,480
Speaker 1: They've lost to Washington twice, and Philly beat him, so

1085
01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:13,120
Speaker 1: they are currently they're zero to four in the division,

1086
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 1: so I think it's fair to assume they're gonna go

1087
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 1: oh and six. If you're the Giants and you're gonna

1088
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:22,880
Speaker 1: consistently suck this bad, you want that number one or

1089
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 1: two pick, like you don't want to pick seven. What

1090
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 1: the hell is the point we just saw last year.

1091
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 1: It's cool to get my league neighbors, but they would

1092
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 1: have loved to draft Drake may Is the guy they wanted,

1093
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 1: and or Jayden, and they didn't have access to him

1094
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:38,840
Speaker 1: because they were they had won enough pointless games. If

1095
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 1: I was a betting man right now, I would I

1096
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 1: would imagine. Here's a hard part about the NFL is.

1097
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 1: I was talking to UH one our producers yesterday after

1098
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:52,960
Speaker 1: we recorded some stuff, and he's a big Commander's guy,

1099
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 1: lives in the area, and you can't just go win, win, win,

1100
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:03,479
Speaker 1: that's loss because the team's better in the NFL because

1101
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 1: even if you win eleven games, you're gonna have some

1102
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:11,760
Speaker 1: of your eleven wins are gonna be upset wins right

1103
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:14,160
Speaker 1: where you're like an underdog on the road and you

1104
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:17,120
Speaker 1: win the game, and some of your losses will be

1105
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:21,480
Speaker 1: like a home six point favorite in December. It happens

1106
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:27,240
Speaker 1: every single year. So like Carolina, New England, Tennessee, all

1107
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 1: these teams like they're gonna all end up with three

1108
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 1: or four wins, so they are going to win other

1109
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 1: games and not all of them are gonna happen against

1110
01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:38,840
Speaker 1: each other. So all of a sudden, you're like, Damn,

1111
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:44,760
Speaker 1: did Tennessee just beat Houston? Did the New York Giants

1112
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:48,880
Speaker 1: just beat the Eagles? It sounds crazy to say out loud,

1113
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 1: but it literally happens every freaking year, that these games

1114
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 1: in December that you never think, especially by then you

1115
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:59,240
Speaker 1: might be like a touchdown favorite at home. Hell, it

1116
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:02,120
Speaker 1: might be a touchdown favorite on the road and loose,

1117
01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:05,360
Speaker 1: so that it's really hard to go, Yeah, we know

1118
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:09,680
Speaker 1: all these teams suck, but which one of these teams

1119
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:13,720
Speaker 1: has a massive upset that we don't see coming? Because

1120
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:20,800
Speaker 1: it's it's inevitable. It happens every single year a mini rant.

1121
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:24,920
Speaker 1: The national narrative behind Ar and Flacco is maddening from

1122
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 1: a Colt fan who watches every snap as much as

1123
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:31,480
Speaker 1: I in the world. Like Shane Siken, he has not

1124
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 1: put Ar in positions to succeed this season. Ar has

1125
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:41,040
Speaker 1: an average depth of chart target of thirteen yards. This

1126
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 1: is easily the highest in the league this season. Without question,

1127
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 1: Steikan likes to throw the ball deep Ar and rarely

1128
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 1: gives him easy completions and screens to help sustain drives

1129
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:59,640
Speaker 1: and move the chains, whereas with Flacco he routinely schemes

1130
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 1: up easy completions with downs, Pittman on screens, zig routes, drags, etc.

1131
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 1: All of that is to say, why would the Colts

1132
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:14,120
Speaker 1: ever benj R. To go to Flacco this season? Starting

1133
01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 1: Flacco may get us one or two more wins, but

1134
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:19,120
Speaker 1: it's not like Joe is bringing us to Super Bowl.

1135
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,080
Speaker 1: We have been laughed at the past few seasons for

1136
01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:26,680
Speaker 1: constantly having a carousel of quarterbacks, and now people want

1137
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:29,360
Speaker 1: to turn on the future at quarterback. This is my

1138
01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:33,440
Speaker 1: issue with that. I hear what you're saying. I'm not

1139
01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:35,040
Speaker 1: trying to defend Stike in here. I don't know the

1140
01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:39,080
Speaker 1: guy personally. You can't throw intermediate in short routes if

1141
01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 1: you don't think the guy has any touch to throw them.

1142
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:44,200
Speaker 1: So why don't I throw quick screens or wheel routes

1143
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,720
Speaker 1: because the airmails. Part of the reason I throw deep

1144
01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 1: is because I think that's the only pass that he

1145
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:54,520
Speaker 1: has the chance to make. Flacco has more touch than

1146
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:59,520
Speaker 1: Anthony Richson obviously, So I think when you look at

1147
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:04,640
Speaker 1: the situation with Anthony Richardson, he's the future. That's all

1148
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:07,320
Speaker 1: we ever hear at this point in time. No, he

1149
01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 1: might be the future, but he's currently not the present.

1150
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 1: And as we saw last night, Joe Flacco might not

1151
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 1: be that good either. He's not me. He's thirty nine

1152
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:22,360
Speaker 1: to forty years old, like he has limitations. And this

1153
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:25,040
Speaker 1: is where I think the culture in this awfully weird situation,

1154
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:29,600
Speaker 1: they had no choice after what happened to do what

1155
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:35,640
Speaker 1: they did because of the roster, Because how could Ryan Kelly, Pittman,

1156
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:41,919
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, Quintin Nelson. They couldn't operate after you tapped out.

1157
01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:45,800
Speaker 1: They could not. It was not possible. Now, maybe after

1158
01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:47,880
Speaker 1: a week or two everyone can take a deep breath,

1159
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:51,640
Speaker 1: but they had no choice. So I think that move

1160
01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:55,600
Speaker 1: was probably less about the forty four percent completion and

1161
01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:57,360
Speaker 1: more like this guy tapped out in the middle of

1162
01:06:57,400 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 1: a game against our division rival, Like that happened. How

1163
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:03,720
Speaker 1: do I look all my DeForest Buckner in the face?

1164
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:07,720
Speaker 1: I mean it's like, hey, DeForest, listen. I know you've

1165
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:10,920
Speaker 1: played through I don't know seven plus injuries over the

1166
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 1: last five years, laid your heart, soul, and literally your

1167
01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 1: body on the line for this franchise. But we're gonna

1168
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:22,680
Speaker 1: keep rolling with Anthony Richardson who were not winning with

1169
01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:26,480
Speaker 1: So I think it was a tough situation. And this

1170
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:30,040
Speaker 1: is when you draft projects and then you find your

1171
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 1: team being pretty competitive. You get yourself in these weird situations,

1172
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 1: and that's where they're at right now, in this weird situation.

1173
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:42,640
Speaker 1: Patriot fan from New England. Why is nobody in the

1174
01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:46,600
Speaker 1: media talking about Drake May? Is it just because the

1175
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 1: Pats suck? All I hear about is Caleb Daniels and

1176
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:54,160
Speaker 1: even Nicks. In his first two starts, May has thrown

1177
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 1: for five touchdowns and over five hundred yards. The last

1178
01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:01,280
Speaker 1: rookie to do that was Dan Marino. This is all

1179
01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:06,520
Speaker 1: behind o line. Yeah, listen, you're not the Red Sox

1180
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:10,520
Speaker 1: or the Celtics. You remove Ballichick and Brady like you

1181
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:13,320
Speaker 1: just aren't that relevant. Now, if this guy is good

1182
01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:15,760
Speaker 1: and you start winning, you will be relevant. And again,

1183
01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:19,760
Speaker 1: but right now you don't. Just we're not obligated to

1184
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:23,559
Speaker 1: talk about you, and you become much more of a

1185
01:08:23,720 --> 01:08:27,720
Speaker 1: local product than you do a national product. And when

1186
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 1: you're looking like you're gonna win three or four games

1187
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:33,880
Speaker 1: on the season, people are not breaking down Drake May

1188
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:38,160
Speaker 1: every game. And for example, you just played the Titans.

1189
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:41,760
Speaker 1: Unless you're a Titans or Patriot fan, you do not

1190
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:44,880
Speaker 1: need to watch that game. You just don't. Now, maybe

1191
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:47,280
Speaker 1: at the end of the season, if I want to

1192
01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:50,160
Speaker 1: do something like let's break down all the rookie performances,

1193
01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:53,639
Speaker 1: you go back and you look at everything. But when

1194
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:58,839
Speaker 1: there are real games being played with playoff implications, I mean, honestly,

1195
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:00,960
Speaker 1: that might have been the low game on the docket

1196
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:05,040
Speaker 1: in terms of importance of the entire day. And so

1197
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:09,040
Speaker 1: it's just you guys were spoiled because for a long,

1198
01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:12,560
Speaker 1: long period of time, you're right there with the Cowboys

1199
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:16,120
Speaker 1: no matter what wind, loser draw. We're talking Pats, Belichick, Brady,

1200
01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:20,000
Speaker 1: you were at the top of the food chain. You

1201
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:23,840
Speaker 1: were like the lion in the jungle. Now you're like

1202
01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:29,240
Speaker 1: the muskrat, just trying to survive. So like this, this

1203
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:33,799
Speaker 1: is what happens when you suck. Question for the mailbag.

1204
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:36,800
Speaker 1: Do you think because there are so many rules to

1205
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:39,200
Speaker 1: protect the quarterback that they seem to be getting softer

1206
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:44,799
Speaker 1: and are becoming more injury prone. That's a good question.

1207
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:48,599
Speaker 1: I think when you look around the NFL, the top guys,

1208
01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:52,720
Speaker 1: I mean, Herbert's hurt his ankle, but for the most part,

1209
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:56,840
Speaker 1: he hasn't missed any time. Stafford's, you know, been pretty

1210
01:09:56,920 --> 01:09:59,839
Speaker 1: durable given that he's been getting his ass kicked. Mahomes

1211
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:03,280
Speaker 1: never miss his time, Lamar never really misses time, Josh

1212
01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:07,160
Speaker 1: Allen never misses games. I would say the top dogs,

1213
01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:11,880
Speaker 1: you know, Jared Goss very very durable, Jalen Hurts for

1214
01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:17,160
Speaker 1: running quarterbacks durable, Kyler's been durable as of late. So

1215
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:20,080
Speaker 1: I would say most of the top guys pretty I mean,

1216
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:22,120
Speaker 1: it's pretty weird when you see Dak's gonna miss a

1217
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:24,080
Speaker 1: couple games for a hamstring. It's not often that you

1218
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:29,040
Speaker 1: see a quarterback hurt his hamstring. But yeah, I don't know.

1219
01:10:29,439 --> 01:10:32,120
Speaker 1: I just think sometimes injuries with quarterbacks gonna be kind

1220
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:35,439
Speaker 1: of random, would be. I guess my first reaction to

1221
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:40,960
Speaker 1: your question, what do you think about the Colts and

1222
01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:44,479
Speaker 1: the benching of aar I think it's an organizational failure

1223
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:48,760
Speaker 1: to give up so soon knowing he was always going

1224
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:52,160
Speaker 1: to take longer. If they truly have a team of

1225
01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:55,959
Speaker 1: Vets that want to win now, then why draft him fourth? Overall?

1226
01:10:56,600 --> 01:11:00,000
Speaker 1: It makes no sense. Shane hasn't done a damn thing

1227
01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:03,160
Speaker 1: to help him in terms of play. Call it just

1228
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:06,240
Speaker 1: as him. They just have him dropping back like he's

1229
01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:13,240
Speaker 1: prime Philip rivers. What where are the bootleg passes? I

1230
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:15,760
Speaker 1: would guess, And this is where what I said earlier

1231
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:18,680
Speaker 1: is it. Shane would say, I'd call bootleg pass and

1232
01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:21,160
Speaker 1: I don't have any faith that he hits it because

1233
01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:23,160
Speaker 1: we run him in practice and the airmails it. Lorady

1234
01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:28,599
Speaker 1: skips it. He's not accurate, So like the accuracy is something,

1235
01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:32,000
Speaker 1: it's very real, Like that's a tangible thing. Now, if

1236
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:34,599
Speaker 1: you want to make the argument of like, listen, we're

1237
01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:37,960
Speaker 1: not going anywhere with Flacco either, we might as well

1238
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:39,960
Speaker 1: give this guy as many reps as possible so we

1239
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:41,559
Speaker 1: at least know by the end of the year, like

1240
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:43,920
Speaker 1: is this something we want to keep doing or do

1241
01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:46,680
Speaker 1: we already need to pivot, which I think would be

1242
01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:50,559
Speaker 1: a fair argument. But like I said, the moment that happened,

1243
01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 1: your entire team turned on him. This is not this

1244
01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:59,720
Speaker 1: is not a guess, this is not an opinion. It

1245
01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:04,200
Speaker 1: was clear they turned on them. Ryan Kelly, the heartbeat

1246
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:07,880
Speaker 1: of the team, one of if not their best players,

1247
01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:11,240
Speaker 1: said yeah, we had to have a talk with him.

1248
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:13,519
Speaker 1: So like that, this isn't They didn't have a choice.

1249
01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:17,719
Speaker 1: It's like sometimes if you're the CEO or a manager

1250
01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:20,560
Speaker 1: and it's like your employees are gonna there's gonna be

1251
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:23,599
Speaker 1: a mutiny inside the office, like you gotta do something.

1252
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:28,559
Speaker 1: It's the power is taken out of your hands. You

1253
01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:32,920
Speaker 1: either make the change to avoid the mutiny and avoid

1254
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:36,000
Speaker 1: a riot with your employees and in this case, your

1255
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 1: locker room, or you just risk everyone turning on everybody

1256
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:43,719
Speaker 1: in the whole season being a complete waste of time.

1257
01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:46,559
Speaker 1: And to me, that's where they were headed. If they

1258
01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:50,400
Speaker 1: didn't make Flacco the quarterback because of all the comments

1259
01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:54,479
Speaker 1: from the players, Now, could they you know, Flacco was

1260
01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:58,880
Speaker 1: pretty bad on Sunday night? Could they just go back

1261
01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:01,160
Speaker 1: to them this week and be like, listen, we've talked,

1262
01:13:01,200 --> 01:13:04,680
Speaker 1: are everyone's met with them, We've done a lot of

1263
01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:08,200
Speaker 1: hard tohearts. But he had multiple comments last week It's

1264
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:11,120
Speaker 1: like I don't even think he quite gets it, which

1265
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:15,240
Speaker 1: is understand a young kid just doesn't quite understand what

1266
01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:18,680
Speaker 1: he doesn't even understand, which is a problem because they

1267
01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:23,320
Speaker 1: got so many like DeForest Buckner, Ryan Kelly, Quintin Nelson

1268
01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:26,639
Speaker 1: like these are pretty Jonathan Taylor, like pretty high level cats,

1269
01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:30,240
Speaker 1: you know, and you got this guy, this naive player

1270
01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:34,400
Speaker 1: who doesn't even understand what's at stake here and then

1271
01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:38,960
Speaker 1: also isn't playing well. It's a powder keg of disaster.

1272
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:42,639
Speaker 1: And that's where I think they're in this weird spot.

1273
01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:44,519
Speaker 1: Like if you want to blame the coach and the

1274
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:47,720
Speaker 1: GM have at it, you're not wrong. If you want

1275
01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:50,559
Speaker 1: to blame Anthony Richardson, blame him. I mean yet last

1276
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:54,559
Speaker 1: night collins Worth talking about the benching and they show

1277
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:58,640
Speaker 1: him Listen, sometimes we just we yawn, nothing we can do.

1278
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:01,040
Speaker 1: They go to him on the sideline and he yawns.

1279
01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:04,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about the timing. It couldn't have

1280
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:07,720
Speaker 1: been any worse. Anyone that's played pee wee football let

1281
01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:09,280
Speaker 1: alone the pros like, you don't you don't want to

1282
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:12,080
Speaker 1: get cut yawning by a coach let alone on television

1283
01:14:13,240 --> 01:14:16,320
Speaker 1: now late game tired, he's not playing. I don't even

1284
01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:18,560
Speaker 1: think it's that crazy, but the timing of it was like,

1285
01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:20,679
Speaker 1: I feel bad for this kid. He can't catch a break,

1286
01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:24,120
Speaker 1: but it is what it is. And now you got

1287
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:28,040
Speaker 1: this situation where they're kind of up Shit's creek without

1288
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:32,240
Speaker 1: a paddle because there's no way to get a quarterback.

1289
01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:37,000
Speaker 1: You invested heavily in this guy, and the only way

1290
01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:40,439
Speaker 1: for him truly to get better is eventually. Obviously there

1291
01:14:40,439 --> 01:14:42,479
Speaker 1: are things he can do in practice and stuff, but

1292
01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:45,880
Speaker 1: like he's got to get more game reps, and to

1293
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:48,760
Speaker 1: give them more game reps, there's a chance that you

1294
01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:53,320
Speaker 1: just lose and he just sucks in those games, which

1295
01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:57,640
Speaker 1: is a big problem. So I don't know, man, I

1296
01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:01,120
Speaker 1: feel for you Colts fans because this eas and it

1297
01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:07,400
Speaker 1: feels like got away from you really fast. The volume

1298
01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:10,639
Speaker 1: mm hmm
