1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: The volume. This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntire. 2 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 2: What is up, straight Fire fan, It's me Jason McIntyre. 3 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 2: Straight Fire for Friday, January twenty sixth. Conference Championship weekend 4 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,639 Speaker 2: is here. But first, oh my gosh, do we have 5 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 2: some news first before we get to picks for the weekend. 6 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 2: And it's gonna be just me flying solo. I thought 7 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,279 Speaker 2: we'd bring in a guest, and I'm like, you know what, 8 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 2: it's only two games, not enough to break down, and 9 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 2: there is a ton of other crap going on that 10 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 2: we'll get to. But we'll get to that shortly. We 11 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 2: have to start here with what I am not totally 12 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 2: surprised by, and we've been talking about it a little bit, 13 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 2: but the Atlanta Falcons did not, repeat, did not hire 14 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 2: Bill Belichick to be their next head coach, in what 15 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 2: I can only explain as a shocking development. I think 16 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 2: it was Josina Anderson who, like two weeks ago, was like, hey, 17 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,759 Speaker 2: everything's online for Belichick to be the next Falcons head coach. 18 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 2: Well that was after Belichick and Arthur Blank met. Arthur 19 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 2: Blank clearly very fond of Bill Belichick. But as it 20 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 2: became evident this week, as things dragged out, and the 21 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 2: Falcons passed what the fifteen mark with people they interviewed 22 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,839 Speaker 2: for the job. Atlanta decided, well, you know what, maybe 23 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 2: we don't want to bring in a guy who's just 24 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 2: in here to chase Shula's record and only be here 25 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 2: for a year or two and then bounce, and we 26 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 2: want to uproot everything we've had in place here the 27 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 2: last couple of years. And not that it was very good, 28 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 2: because it's not like they made any playoff appearances, but 29 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 2: maybe we don't want to do that. And then I 30 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 2: think from Belichick's standpoint, it was clear Belichick knew Arthur Blank, 31 00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 2: the owner of the Falcons, was extremely fond of Belichick. Right, well, sure, Arthur, Yeah, hey, 32 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 2: I'll meet with you. With you You think Bill Belichick 33 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 2: wanted to go through the interview process with Rich McKay, 34 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 2: the CEO of the Falcons. You think Belichick wants to 35 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 2: go through talking to and interviewing all. I mean, it's 36 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 2: Bill freakin' Belichick. The guy's won more Super Bowls than 37 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 2: the Falcons have as an organization. Like come on, like, 38 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 2: let's be real here, Bill Belichick is accomplished more than 39 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 2: anyone the Falcons have ever had period hard stop and 40 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 2: I've got an interview with you. It reminds me of 41 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,959 Speaker 2: this line, and I've used it a couple of times lately. 42 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 2: People hate when I say this. So in the movie 43 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 2: Fast and Furious, Vin Diesel is like the alpha in 44 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 2: the car racing circuit and Paul Walker rest rip. Paul Walker, 45 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 2: you know, is the undercover cop getting in the mix 46 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 2: and infiltrating Vin Diesel's car racing group. But the first 47 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 2: Fast and the Furious is awesome if you have not 48 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 2: seen it. I don't know about the rest of the series. 49 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:04,959 Speaker 2: They ended up making like ten of them. I've only 50 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 2: seen I think the first and parts of the other ones, 51 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 2: parts of like maybe two, three, four. Trust me, I'm 52 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 2: not doing seven eight nine. In Fast and the Furious 53 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 2: at any rate, Paul Walker basically says I want to 54 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 2: raise you, and Vin Diesel said, or one of his guys. 55 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 2: I think it was a kind of like the nerdy 56 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 2: computer guy. He goes, you can't just climb in the 57 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 2: ring with Ali, which is a pretty awesome line. And 58 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 2: I'm saying that here, like Belichick goes to Atlanta and 59 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 2: is meeting with the owner, and if they said, hey, hey, 60 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 2: we would like Bill would like you to talk to 61 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 2: all these other people, and Belichick's handler, if he had one, 62 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 2: be like, who are these guys. Belichick's not gonna sit 63 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 2: with these guys. He is the alpha, the man, the myth, 64 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 2: the legend when it comes to coaching. Who are these guys? 65 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 2: What's Belichick gonna learn about football from these guys? And 66 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 2: that's where it gets dicey, and it's pretty clear. The 67 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 2: Falcon said. Ultimately, they convinced Arthur Blank like, dude, he's 68 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 2: just trying to use you for two years and he's 69 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 2: trying to chase his record, and he wants total power 70 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 2: and total control. This isn't gonna work. And my guess 71 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 2: is in the second meeting Blank had with Belichick, Arthur 72 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 2: Blank at that point had to be like, well, you know, listen, 73 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 2: I love you, we want you here. However, we have 74 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 2: a plan and a process in place, and Belichick's just like, 75 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 2: that's not gonna fly with me. So now we have 76 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 2: Raheem Morris, who is by It's a fine, fine decision. 77 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 2: You know, was a great defensive coordinator. It's a little 78 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 2: awkward that Raheem Morris was in Atlanta and when they 79 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 2: fired dan Quinn. Remember dan Quinn took him to the 80 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 2: Super Bowl, and then a couple of years later it 81 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 2: petered out and dan Quinn gets they start zero to five, 82 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 2: they fire Quinn. He Morris is the interim coach. I 83 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 2: go four and seven, and then he's let go at 84 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 2: the end of the season, and it's like, Okay, he 85 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 2: didn't do enough to impress us. They go for Arthur Smith. 86 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 2: That flamed out, so now they're going back to Rahie Morris, 87 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 2: who clearly has a fondness for Atlanta. Arthur Blake must 88 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 2: have liked it. Morris did really really strong things with 89 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 2: the Rams, despite not having a ton of talent on 90 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 2: the squad, like really really impressive. And I don't know. 91 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 2: I'm just it's an odd feeling that Belichick's going to 92 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 2: be left out, but I totally completely understand it. I 93 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 2: don't think Bill Belichick is gonna end up in Seattle, Okay, 94 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 2: I just I don't see that happening. It doesn't seem 95 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 2: to line up for me. We have Callahan landing in Tennessee. 96 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: We have. 97 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 2: Canalis, the Tampa Bay offensive coordinator. Canalis, by the way, 98 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 2: has a pretty damn good resume. He had an impressive 99 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 2: couple of years with Gino Smith in Seattle when Gino 100 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 2: Smith popped two years ago. Then he goes to Tampa 101 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 2: and helped Baker Mayfield have like a career resurgent at 102 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 2: an unbelievable year. And now he goes to Carolina to 103 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 2: work with Bryce Young. Listen. I know people are gonna 104 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 2: say that's a terrible job, and we've talked about it 105 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 2: here on the podcast. Like working in Carolina under an 106 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 2: impetuous owner not great. But I'll give Tepper this. He 107 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 2: went out and brought in Dan Morgan, who's like a 108 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 2: Carolina legend. They loved him. He was a historically great 109 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 2: linebacker for the franchise. And Morgan worked in Seattle with 110 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 2: Canalis for about six or seven years, so it's not 111 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 2: like Canalis is kind of jumping into a total crap job. 112 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 2: Hold up, Morgan is like a fixture in Carolina. He's 113 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 2: not going anywhere. They're gonna give him many years to 114 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 2: figure this thing out. They're gonna be patient. He is 115 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 2: one of their own. Carolina fans like him. Everybody knows 116 00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 2: him in Carolina. He's a big deal. He worked with 117 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 2: Canalis and I'm sure he said listen, bro, I've got protection. 118 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 2: I'm good. I you're my higher I'm gonna protect you. 119 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 2: And guess what, We're gonna figure this out and you know, 120 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 2: keeping it real. Canalis work with Gino Smith and Baker 121 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 2: Mayfield and fixed them. Okay, Bryce Young is a more 122 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 2: talented quarterback than either of those, and I know Baker 123 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 2: went one. So like Bryce Young is going to have 124 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 2: a chance in Carolina. I don't know if it's automatically 125 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 2: gonna happen, but I would say of the choices out there, 126 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 2: like this is a good move by Carolina, Canalis should 127 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 2: have a chance. So Carolina's taken, Tennessee's taken. Belichick wasn't 128 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 2: doing any of those. The only two jobs left our 129 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 2: Seattle where Belichick's not going. It sounds like it's Dan Quinn, 130 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 2: but I don't know if i'd rule out Rabel and 131 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 2: the other one is Washington. And again all we can 132 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 2: do is read Tea leaves here. It seems like as 133 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 2: soon as the Lions are eliminated, Ben Johnson within forty 134 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 2: eight hours is going to get that job. That's what 135 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 2: it seems like. So we got no job for Slowick, 136 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 2: which is fine. He's done very little. I mean, it's 137 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 2: a short time period. Nothing for McDonald. Maybe teams don't 138 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 2: want to wait for the Ravens defensive coordinator. Again, he's 139 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 2: just one year, but man, some of the stuff he's 140 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 2: cooked up has been phenomenal. So nothing for McDonald, nothing 141 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 2: for Slowick, and nothing for Belichick. I think Rabel's what 142 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 2: happens if Rabel doesn't get the Seattle job. Now, as 143 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 2: we touched on yesterday on the pod, again, you should 144 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 2: be listening every day. But if you missed yesterday, there 145 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 2: are potentially five to seven to eight really good jobs 146 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 2: next year that Rabel could be waiting out. Like, hey, 147 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 2: you know what, if Sirianni implodes in Philly, they're not 148 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 2: letting him hire another OC in DC, it's win or 149 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 2: you're done for Sirianni. Now, I don't know how far 150 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 2: he has to go. They get bounced into the wild 151 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 2: card round again. I don't know is that enough. We'll see, 152 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 2: But dak in Dallas, Trevor Lawrence and Jacksonville I think 153 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 2: both New York jobs could be open next year. We'll see, 154 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 2: We'll see what happens. Giants and Jets, listen if you're 155 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 2: a big market guy, and that's for you, you know, and 156 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 2: both listen. If those teams are bad, they're gonna be 157 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 2: drafting a quarterback high. We talked about Chicago and eber 158 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 2: flues that job could be open Buffalo and Sean McDermott like, 159 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,959 Speaker 2: I don't know what he has to do if isn't 160 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 2: anything short of the super Bowl and he's probably gone, 161 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 2: like how many more years can you do this? So 162 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 2: it's weird, but maybe Vrabel's saying, I'm just not that 163 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 2: hard up for a job this cycle. I don't mind 164 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 2: sitting out a year and waiting to see what's open 165 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 2: next year when there could be really, really good jobs open. Frankly, 166 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 2: I don't know how good of a job Seattle is, 167 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 2: you know, I don't they regressed a little bit. I 168 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 2: think we all think Gino Smith is not consistent enough 169 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 2: to be a great quarterback. And you know, Washington's probably 170 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 2: a good job, but you're gonna have a rookie quarterback, 171 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 2: and it sounds like they want Ben Johnson. So I 172 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 2: want to quickly go to McVeigh for a moment. And 173 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 2: this has pointed out to me. So he's been coaching 174 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 2: for seven years, okay, in what is absolutely bonkers, Five 175 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 2: of his assistants have gotten head coaching jobs. This is 176 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,719 Speaker 2: insan insant only in seven years. So Lafleur went to 177 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 2: Green Bay, He's thrived. Taylor went to Cincinnati. He's thrived, 178 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 2: went to a super Bowl. I don't know that he's 179 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 2: a good coach, but he's thrived, partially thanks to Joe Burrow. 180 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 2: Staley went to the Chargers. He flopped. It looks like 181 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 2: he's gonna land in Miami as the defensive coordinator. That's 182 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 2: a plum gig. You get to move to Miami, which 183 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 2: is not bad. You get a lot of talent to 184 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 2: work with, which is not bad. You get an awesome offense. 185 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 2: McDaniel like, I think Staley's gonna have a really good 186 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 2: year in Miami. Let's see what happens salary capwise. O'Connell 187 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 2: goes to Minnesota, and I will say I probably hear 188 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 2: more about O'Connell then I've led on. But I really 189 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 2: like this guy. I just happened to know someone who's 190 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 2: close with McConnell and I'm sorry O'Connell, and I was 191 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 2: thinking Jerry O'Connell. But Kevin O'Connell is a really, really 192 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 2: good coach in Minnesota, I want to see what happens 193 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 2: at quarterback. I love what I saw with his second third, 194 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 2: fourth string quarterbacks. The dude's really good and they're gonna 195 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 2: be good very soon. That was a McVeigh assistant, and 196 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 2: the other one is Mary Morris who's going to Atlanta. 197 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 2: So essentially, you know, if you're a young up and 198 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 2: coming guy, you want to get to a Shanahan or 199 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 2: a McVeigh staff, you want to be a Gopher for 200 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 2: a year or two, do whatever you have to get 201 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 2: the coffee, you know, learn at the altar of these 202 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 2: two really really smart, promising young coaches and then climbing 203 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 2: the ladder, because from the looks of it, you are 204 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 2: going to go to be a coordinator or a head 205 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 2: coach in pretty short order. That's the path right now. 206 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 2: Or maybe maybe O'Connell's the next guy. You know, you 207 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 2: go to Minnesota and work with O'Connor, or I don't know, 208 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 2: you go to McDaniel staff. But bottom line is, this 209 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 2: is the new tree. If you will. I hate I 210 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 2: don't want to sound harsh because I'm friendly with Eric Mangini. 211 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 2: At FS one, he was on the Belichick tree, and 212 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 2: and really nobody from the Belichick Tree has done anything. 213 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 2: And it's very weird that, you know, you Belichick's the 214 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 2: most successful coach in the history of the sport, and 215 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 2: you start to wonder, like, Okay, none of his guys 216 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 2: have gone on or do anything. The second he loses Brady, 217 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 2: they don't do anything. Is how much of it was 218 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 2: just Brady? You know how much of it was the 219 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 2: league has pivoted quickly, or Belichick could just never find 220 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 2: a quarterback. Some of those other guys could not find 221 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 2: a quarterback. And it's it's just a The NFL is 222 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 2: so free and strange, guys. It is absolutely bizarre how 223 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 2: quickly things change. So I don't know, I'm a little 224 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 2: surprised Belichick will not be in the league next year. 225 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 2: I can't see him being a TV guy. Maybe he 226 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 2: just goes off into the sunset and he ends up 227 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 2: short of Shula. He's still on the Mount rushmore right, undeniable. 228 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 2: You know, if you're picking the four greatest coaches in 229 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 2: the history of the sport, I think you've got to 230 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 2: go Walsh, Belichick, read Landry Gibbs. I mean, there's probably 231 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 2: like six guys that weren't consideration, but Belichick is on 232 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 2: there for sure. He's not getting supplanted. It's just it 233 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 2: looks like it's gonna end. He's gonna be a little 234 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 2: bit short of the record, and that's not the end 235 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 2: of the world. Who cares. I don't think anybody's gonna 236 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 2: say Sholo's a better coach he had more wins. Like no, 237 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 2: it doesn't mean anything.

Here's 262 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: your best bet, hell. 263 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 2: Let's get your picks for conference championship weekend. Not a 264 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 2: ton happening online movements. Essentially, the Chiefs open three in 265 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 2: the desert, but unless you live in Vegas, you could 266 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 2: not get that. That quickly goes up to three and 267 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 2: a half, and then it touched four, and then it 268 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 2: will come back to three and a half. And I said, 269 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 2: one of my first bets, just a number grab was 270 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 2: Chiefs three and a half. I was small. It's not 271 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 2: my pick. I don't officially think it that that the 272 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 2: Chiefs have a chance to win. I think, yeah, sure, 273 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 2: of course, there's a scenario where Patrick Mahomes pulls them 274 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 2: close enough to cover three and a half. But ultimately 275 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 2: I much prefer money line parlays with the Ravens. Teasers. Yes, 276 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 2: I know it's stupid, Jason. You're not supposed to tease 277 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 2: through zero. It doesn't do anything. Teas through the three 278 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 2: and the seven. I just think the Ravens by far 279 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 2: are the better team. I know a lot of people 280 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 2: would like to hear that. I mean Baltimore when they 281 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 2: step up in class. They smoke people. Eight and two 282 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 2: against playoff teams this year, and the two losses were 283 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 2: both blown, blown leads against the Steelers and Browns. I 284 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 2: don't want to say they were fluke losses, but I 285 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 2: definitely was on this on the Steelers in that game, 286 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 2: and it was a lucky, lucky comeback. Case's three and 287 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 2: four against playoff teams, and we can chirp all we 288 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 2: want about how good they looked against Buffalo, guys, let's 289 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 2: be real. I talked about the rest disadvantage for Buffalo 290 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 2: two days less rest linebackers going against Travis Kelce secondary 291 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 2: mass unit like it was just a terrible spot for Buffalo. 292 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 2: We talked about it all last week. It was a 293 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 2: hammer play went in big and Kansas City hits. This 294 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 2: to me feels like a Baltimore blowout, and a lot 295 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 2: of questions about it, whether or not Reid retires. I 296 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 2: know Florio pushed it last week. I'll just say this. 297 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 2: Andy Reid was asked about it by the media and 298 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 2: he said, oh, I don't even think about that stuff. 299 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 2: That's not a no. I'm coming back. I got nowhere 300 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 2: to go, like, that's not a no. And I'm not 301 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 2: saying he's going to leave. I don't know, and I 302 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 2: don't think anyone knows, probably not even Andy Reid. But 303 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 2: I wouldn't be shocked if he bolted. What does he 304 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 2: have left to prove? What I was stay on with 305 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes And then all these people are saying, well, 306 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 2: you don't leave greatness. I mean, you got myhomes. Why 307 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 2: would you leave? Well, you know, I think some people 308 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 2: would point out homewhere, and I think left Farv to 309 00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:04,640 Speaker 2: go to Seattle, right Cowher left Ben Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh. 310 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 2: It happens, you know, obviously, Mahomes is a more special 311 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 2: talent than those guys. But you know, I think the 312 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 2: reality is that there's a world where Kansas City gets 313 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 2: blasted here and you gotta wonder, like, Okay, they've had 314 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 2: an amazing run and it's probably not over. But Mahomes' 315 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 2: cap hit goes up twenty mil. They got a lot 316 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 2: of free agent starters. Let's see what happens with Sneid, 317 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 2: Let's see what happens with McDuffie. They lost the All 318 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 2: Pro guard Tooney on the right side. I think that's 319 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 2: I don't think that's gonna be very good against a sneaky, 320 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 2: really nasty Baltimore front. McDonald has them like shape shifting. 321 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 2: They will give one look quickly shift to another. They 322 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 2: are flexible and they can go light box heavy box. 323 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,919 Speaker 2: They've got Kyle Hamilton on the back end of the defense, 324 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 2: who can guard Kelsey and then on the next play 325 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,360 Speaker 2: he's gardener she Rice in the slot and then he's blitzing, 326 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 2: and they can go with the light box because they've 327 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 2: got an incredible linebacker in ro Quan Smith. At a 328 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 2: time when linebackers are being devalued, the Ravens should have 329 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 2: shown now, no, no, you've just got to get the 330 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 2: right linebacker in the right system. I mean, they're very 331 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 2: tough over the middle, which is where Kansas City likes 332 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 2: to eat. So what are we going to see a 333 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 2: lot of dump offs to pacheco A, dump offs to 334 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 2: c Eh. You know that could work against Buffalo and 335 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 2: they're slow, banged up third string linebacker. That ain't working 336 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 2: against Baltimore. Like that's why I said, you know, I 337 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 2: wrote in for my Fox sports dot com right up. 338 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 2: I was like, you know, Kansas City did well against 339 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 2: Miami and negative thirty degrees not a major shock. It 340 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 2: was an easy hit for US. Kansas City showed up 341 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 2: in Buffalo and that was a good win and a 342 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 2: great spot and that showed up well for US. I 343 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 2: can see this being like thirty seven sixteen. Ravens. Just 344 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 2: put it on them and show listen. I mean, they're 345 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 2: just un believably dominant this year. Again, it's one thing 346 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 2: to do well against the Bills defense and the Miami defense. 347 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,439 Speaker 2: I think that both of those are in the eleven 348 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 2: to nineteen range for Dvoa. Ravens are won. The Texans 349 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 2: did not. They didn't get past the twenty five yard line. 350 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 2: They had no touchdowns. You take got that punt return, 351 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 2: and it is an a massive beatdown. Now where it 352 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 2: gets interesting is can Spagnolo and the Chiefs do something 353 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 2: to slow this run game? Because I did see in 354 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 2: my you know, I'm looking at props and I'll give 355 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,479 Speaker 2: you a couple of prop bets in a second. I 356 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 2: look at the the Ravens run game and it's like, geez, 357 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 2: they're gonna want to just load up and just smash 358 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 2: mouth football. Now, Kansas City's got two great corners, Trent 359 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 2: McDuffie in a slot, just a playmaker, and Sneid who 360 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 2: will probably be on Flowers anytime he's on the outside. 361 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 2: So I wouldn't be betting Zay Flowers props if you're 362 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 2: into that. I'm of the belief that this is you know, 363 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 2: we're gonna see a heavy dose of Gus Edwards here. 364 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 2: I'll be looking at his props Gus Edwards anytime touchdown. 365 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 2: I also like the idea of kind of maybe an 366 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 2: over only because it'll be Baltimore just running and running 367 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 2: and they get in the red zone and we're gonna 368 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 2: see touchdowns on field goals. I don't know they have 369 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 2: justin Tucker, but so I would I'm parlaying the Ravens 370 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 2: money line in over forty four. I got Gus Edwards. 371 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 2: Anytime touchdown, I'm taking a chance on Rashad Bateman. It's 372 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 2: weird how Baltimore like, we don't know how much Andrews 373 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 2: is gonna play. Likely could do some damage, but I'll 374 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 2: stay away from the Titans because I don't know how 375 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 2: much Andrews is gonna be there. I think they load 376 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 2: up on ze Flowers. It's like a Bateman agilar which 377 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 2: one of those two guys is gonna pop, And I'm 378 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 2: throwing in on Bateman for first touchdown. It's like plus 379 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 2: twelve hundred, just a small play. I think. Obviously Lamar 380 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 2: has a good game. I just don't know what Spagnolo 381 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 2: will do. And listen, maybe this is why these guys 382 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 2: get paid millions of dollars. Like we saw texts this 383 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 2: Houston Texans blitz heavily early and it rattled Lamar. Well, 384 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 2: you know what, they're gonna practice all week and be 385 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 2: ready for that same blitz thing that Demigo Rans was 386 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,479 Speaker 2: doing for a team that never blitzes. They blitzed heavily. 387 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 2: Totally came out of character. Well, Spagnolo likes to blitz. 388 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 2: What are they gonna do drop back into zone. I 389 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 2: just don't see them dropping back with that poorous run 390 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 2: defense Lamar Gus Edwards. I don't know about Justice Hill, 391 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 2: but like I could just see the Ravens saying, we'll 392 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 2: take what you're gonna give us. Now. The problem is, 393 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 2: I don't know if Lamar is going to be content 394 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 2: running ten fifteen times. He hasn't been running as much 395 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 2: as in the past, mostly because they're running away from 396 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 2: everybody else. But I don't know, guys. I'm on the 397 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 2: Ravens here every which way but loose and I said 398 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 2: thirty seven to sixty, I'll go with that score. I 399 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 2: think they win. But because you know, a lot of 400 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 2: people want to bet on Mahomes here, I did take 401 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 2: the three and a half like an idiot, just small, 402 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 2: and yes I did. I know it's not smart, it's dumb, 403 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 2: it's stupid, but yeah, teas the Ravens through the three 404 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 2: along with the Niners down, you know, Patrick Mahomes pulls 405 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 2: it out by one, two or three and and the 406 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 2: Niners win but don't cover boom a teaser hits. So yeah, 407 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 2: I'm on the Ravens. I like the Ravens to win Niners. 408 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 2: Lions is a little more clear cut. I just I 409 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 2: like San Francisco. Here it took the seven. I'm sorry 410 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 2: I gave the seven. I know everybody's rooting for the Lions. 411 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 2: They're a great story, and the weather looks great, but 412 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 2: it is outside. First outdoor game since December tenth. The 413 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 2: numbers between them in turf sorry inner dome. On turf, 414 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 2: that team's super fast. Gibbs, he nice, Okay, am a 415 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:01,160 Speaker 2: Saint Brown, He's really nice outdoors. I don't think they're 416 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 2: gonna be awful, but I do think it will be 417 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,679 Speaker 2: a bit of a different animal. And we've seen them 418 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 2: go outside and not look great. I'm not saying the weather, 419 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 2: by the way, looks like it's gonna be in the 420 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 2: sixties in San fran which is great for GoF. But 421 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 2: this is a team, unlike Tampa, that can get pressure 422 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 2: with four bulls needed to blitz. Sam Frey could get 423 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 2: pressure with four and say, okay, GoF, we're gonna design 424 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 2: some exotic stuff on the back end. Good luck, make 425 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 2: those throws, make those tight window throws and beat us. 426 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 2: We got the linebackers to cover Laporta because we've gotta 427 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 2: take Laporta away. You know, I can see GoF getting 428 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 2: a little nervous here. I listen, Goth's been good. I 429 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 2: think the public loves Detroit. They were the best against 430 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 2: the spread team in the league this year thirteen and six. 431 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 2: Just a cash cow, and so people are gonna take 432 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 2: the Lions plus Niners look bad in the rain. But 433 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 2: I will remind you, guys, Niners had a bye week. 434 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 2: Niners lose Deebo Samuel who kills zones. Packers played a 435 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,880 Speaker 2: lot of zone It's clear from early like Deebo gets 436 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 2: two touches on the opening drive and then injured like 437 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 2: off a bye week, which you know, neither team, by 438 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 2: the way, neither favorite cover off the bye week in 439 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 2: the first half. Ravens did not fluky special teams, but nevertheless, 440 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 2: and the Niners did not, And then you lose Debo 441 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 2: and then it's raining the whole game. Those are like 442 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,880 Speaker 2: three big strikes against San Francisco. So now, okay, don't 443 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 2: worry about the bye week. An entire week to plan 444 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 2: for Debo if he's not there. And oh, by the way, 445 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 2: great weather. And just for the record, Detroit's defense is 446 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 2: horrendous on the back end. I know they're number one 447 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 2: against a run. We'll see how they do against McCaffrey, 448 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,679 Speaker 2: but you know, I don't trust their linebackers. And coverage 449 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 2: just could be a big, big McCaffrey game, not necessarily 450 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 2: carries wise, but just yardage. And we know the Lions 451 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 2: struggle with the Yak plays. I think this could be 452 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 2: an eye Uk game. I will be looking at Kittles 453 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 2: props even if Deebo plays. You know, there's an there's 454 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 2: a world where he's a decoy just to draw the 455 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 2: draw the fire, if you will, away from Kittle, and 456 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 2: then Kittle dominates the linebackers who are not good in coverage. 457 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 2: I took the Niners team total over twenty nine. I 458 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 2: think that's probably gonna hit thirty. I just I don't 459 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 2: see a whorld. I mean, I didn't see it last week. 460 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 2: But the rain really screwed with a lot of things. 461 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 2: And just lastly, Jason the numbers. When they don't have debo, 462 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 2: it's not good, you know, okay, time out. Two of 463 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 2: those games, they also didn't have Trent Williams. So now 464 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 2: it's not just no debo, it's oh yeah, we're missing 465 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,919 Speaker 2: one of the elite tackles and left in football, and 466 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,679 Speaker 2: oh that happened against I believe it was. Was it 467 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 2: the Browns? It might have been the Bengals and the Vikings, 468 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 2: but that one of those games, brock Purty got concussed. Like, 469 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 2: I get it. People don't want to root for rock Purty. 470 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 2: They think he's average. And I coward laughed at this, 471 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 2: but I told him, I said this on air. I 472 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 2: was like, the stuff you're doing with party like, it's 473 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 2: just it's not right. Like if they win, well, it's 474 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 2: not Brock, it's look at the guys around him, look 475 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 2: at the coaching staff. And then if they lose, well, 476 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,959 Speaker 2: brock Purtty was terrible. And I said, that's kind of 477 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 2: like let's let's flip a coin head's eye, win tails, 478 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 2: you lose, go. 479 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 1: Right? 480 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 2: Is that fair? Of course not so. So you're telling 481 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 2: me brock perty basically can't do anything. If he's great, 482 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 2: it's everyone else. If he stinks, well, he's just not 483 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 2: that good. So what can he do? And this all 484 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 2: has to do with him being the last pick in 485 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 2: the draft and not being the biggest dude ever and 486 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,679 Speaker 2: just the disrespect. So he's gonna have to, uh, his 487 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 2: playoff run will go through Jordan Love and Jared Goff, 488 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 2: and people will still doubt and be like, well, those 489 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 2: two teams he beat on, I don't know. And then 490 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 2: he's gonna go up against Lamar again and the number 491 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 2: one defense where he was terrible at home, and he's 492 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,120 Speaker 2: gonna have to have to play a great game against 493 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 2: an elite defense in Vegas and the Super Bowl, and 494 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,439 Speaker 2: I'll tell you right, I'm gonna be on the Niners 495 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 2: in that one. I do believe it'll be Niners. I'll 496 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 2: say Niners beat the Lions. Let's go forty to twenty 497 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 2: one or thirty eight to twenty somewhere along those lines. 498 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 2: I don't think the Lions really can stop San fran 499 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 2: and I trust Shanahan. And yeah, so those are conference 500 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 2: championship weekend bets. We start to do more college hoops 501 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 2: obviously NBA. By the way, I'll wrap up with this, 502 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,199 Speaker 2: did you guys see I didn't see it until the 503 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 2: day after, but after they fired the head coach in 504 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 2: Milwaukee that night, the Bucks had a game, and before 505 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 2: the game, all the players were like dancing in like 506 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 2: a circle, almost as if they were celebrating the coach. 507 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 2: Being gone, and it was like it looked like Bobby 508 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 2: Portis might have been leading it. Giannis was all into it. 509 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 2: Just felt a little bit awkward, not great. Now. Listen, 510 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 2: I'm not defending Griffin under any stretch of the imagination 511 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 2: because I don't know what went on there, but not 512 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 2: a great look. Bucks anyway, Enjoy the games back Monday, 513 00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 2: talk to you then.
