1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: The volume What is going on Everybody? John middlecop three

2
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: and out podcast How are we doing Everybody? We are

3
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: presented by my good friends and partners. Zone Pouches slammed

4
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 1: about twenty of those throughout the day, starting at about

5
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: seven am this morning up until the Sunday night game.

6
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: Really enjoyed football today. We had a lot going on.

7
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: We just watched JJ McCarthy have an excellent game. We'll

8
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: lead with that, and then we obviously had to I mean,

9
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: one of the greatest players of this century tearors Acl

10
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: today and Patrick Mahomes Micah Parsons. All indications are he

11
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: tores acl as well. So some DeVante Adams got injured,

12
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: Christian Watson got injured. We had some major, major injuries

13
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: that will have not the Mahomes thing because they got

14
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: kot out of the playoffs, but some ripple effects. I mean,

15
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: the Packers had a devastating day. The Patriots also had

16
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: a devastating day, given they were up twenty one to

17
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: nothing and could have won the division. And then Josh

18
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: Allen happened the Broncos and Bo Nicks I mean, had

19
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: his defining moment as a quarterback today. So far in

20
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: the NFL. You had the Bears now look like they

21
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: could win the division. You got the forty nine ers

22
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: who are still alive for like the number one seed.

23
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: The Eagles got some life. Pete Carroll just probably needs

24
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: to retire. So we got a lot of football going

25
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: on that we will talk about. If you're listening on

26

28
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: you subscribe as well. Never miss a thing. We will

29
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: be live after the Dolphin Steeler game on Monday night,

30
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: so keep an eye for that. But let's just dive

31
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: into the Sunday night game. I've been very hard on

32
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy, as everyone has. He looked for much of

33
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: his time while he played. I mean, he was injured

34
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: a lot, like a player that you can't function with.

35
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: And over these last couple of weeks, and we talked

36
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: about this once it's clear they weren't making the playoffs,

37
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: is there had to be some sign of progress this

38
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: last month or else it would cause a very chaotic

39
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: offseason for them because they would have a major question

40
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: at quarterback. They could not just run it back and

41
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: say JJ McCarthy is starting because they have a locker room,

42
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: they have people on the team making a ton of

43
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: money who are big time players. You have to be

44
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: able to look in the eye and say, we are

45
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: trying our best to win. It's why the Colts signed

46
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers and not some random quarterback on a practice squad.

47
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,399
Speaker 1: How could you look Jonathan Taylor in the face and go,

48
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: we're trying because you couldn't even if Philip Rivers, like

49
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: at least you can say we believe this is our

50
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: best option. And he's even at forty five years old

51
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: and chubby, better than a bunch of dudes on practice squads,

52
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: and he knows the offense right. So JJ McCarthy to look,

53
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: especially Justin Jefferson in the eyes this offseason and go,

54
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep rolling with this at quarterback. There has

55
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: to be some substance behind it. And over the last

56
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: couple of weeks and specifically today, this is I'm gonna

57
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: get a lot of It's the Cowboys defense, Dallas's defense,

58
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: and listen, I'm no Matt Eberflus fan. And they looked

59
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: a lot like they looked before the trading deadline earlier

60
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: in the season. Didn't look great but I thought JJ

61
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: McCarthy relative to his standards, was exceptional. I mean he

62
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: was balling tonight. He made the best throw of his

63
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,119
Speaker 1: career on his first touchdown pass when he rolled left,

64
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: threw across his body as Collinsworth broke it down, let

65
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: the ball rip before his wide receiver was out of break.

66
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: Countless times tonight. It's we know he has a good

67
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: arm right when I know he's working through some mechanics,

68
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: but like Daji McCarthy has a strong arm. The question

69
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: with him, and clearly Kevin O'Connell over the course of

70
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: the year has told the broadcasters his problem has been

71
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: change ups. His problem has been layering the balls. His

72
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: problem has been the touch passes. And tonight, countless times

73
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: he did that. He had Hockinson on a ball that

74
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: was beautiful over the shoulder. He had another play down

75
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: the sideline I think to Nailer on a back shoulder play.

76
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: There was a beautiful concept drawn up by Kevin O'Connell, obviously,

77
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: as it showed his athletic ability running for some first downs.

78
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: I think they even mentioned on the broadcast that clearly

79
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: the Vikings, starting with Kevin O'Connell, believe that it's safer

80
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: to dive headfirst when you're going for a first down

81
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: than it is the slide because you can kind of

82
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: control at which angle you kind of go. I was like, ah,

83
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: it kind of makes some sense. But listen, I was impressed.

84
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: And if you're a Vikings fan, like you should be like, Okay,

85
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: there's something. The seasons lost, we're not going to the playoffs.

86
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: More than likely we're gonna have an under five hundred record.

87
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: But like, we drafted this guy really high. It looked

88
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: extremely bleak. A couple weeks ago. His statistical profile comped

89
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: to JaMarcus Russell like that. That wasn't a subjective like

90
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: opinions being thrown out on the shows, like he reminds

91
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: me of JaMarcus Russell, this is the next JaMarcus Russell.

92
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: That's not what was happening. Literally, his profile statistically in

93
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: terms of drop back and success rate, and you know,

94
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: playing the position paralleled only JaMarcus Russell the way he

95
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: played the position, so it was no one could argue

96
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: it was a major problem. And I don't know if

97
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: whatever Kevin O'Connell has done to settle him down get

98
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: them to play a little looser and again I understand

99
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: the opponent tonight was not good. It felt like he

100
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: would drop back and you could count five Mississippis for

101
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: you to even see a cowboy guy around. But that's

102
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: not what this is about. Like this game today, like

103
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: the outcome of that game, Like at the end of

104
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: the day, once Philly kind of got their mojo today

105
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: and he started, They're not gonna lose to Washington in

106
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: either one of those games. The Dallas wasn't catching them, right,

107
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: Dallas is a seven to eight win team, and that's fine, right.

108
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: They traded Mica before the season. They got a lot

109
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: of issues still and holes to fill this offseason. Like

110
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: I think Water finds this level, we're starting to like

111
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 1: if their offense isn't perfect, they're gonna have issues. Their

112
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: defense is not dependable. But JJ ripped it. I was impressed.

113
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: I thought, like, Okay, this is an NFL quarterback and

114
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: it's something to build up. If he does that a

115
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: couple more games going to the offseason, you can just

116
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: have a positive outlook and emphasize everything this offseason. OTAs

117
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: being big into training camp and we can keep working

118
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: on the improvement. He can keep getting these reps. I mean,

119
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: you go on the road in the NFL, whether you're

120
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: playing the Titans or whether you're playing the Houston Texans,

121
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: having success, creating confidence because the way you create confidence

122
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: is to do well on the field. Right. You can't

123
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: fake it, right, you have to do it. And clearly,

124
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if he had lost his confidence earlier

125
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: early this year, whether it was the injuries, whether it

126
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: was obviously mechanically he's working through some things and he

127
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: still is. It's a little funky, but I listen, he

128
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: made a lot of big time throws tonight. There was

129
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: a deep bomb early in the game. Just let it rip.

130
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: But to me, it's the touch throws, like no one

131
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: questions his just pure arm strength. Even one to night

132
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: where he made a beautiful throw and then he overthrew

133
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: Jefferson on like a deep out route on the right corner.

134
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: It's like the guy can throw it hard, right. It's

135
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: all about touch plays. That's how you have success in

136
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: the NFL. Right. Some of the great plays of Patrick

137
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: Mahomes's career or Lamar Jackson's career, Josh Allen's career aren't

138
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: always just the drive throws. Sometimes it might be a

139
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: scramble throw. It over a linebacker and hit a guy

140
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: in stride and he did that multiple times today and

141
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: now he's got a build on it. And we know

142
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: the Vikings are well coached, right. They have an excellent

143
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: head coach, they have an awesome defensive coordinator, they have

144
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: a well structured organization. They're consistently good. Over the course

145
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: of I don't know, thirty plus years of my life,

146
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: from the nineties, of the two thousand to twenty tens,

147
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: they consistently have good, well run teams, well coached teams,

148
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: deep rosters, you know, quarterback play. When they've had good

149
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: quarterback play, they've been good. And typically they've had to

150
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: you know, sign guys like the far Thing, the Cousins

151
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: thing over the last fifteen plus years. But a homegrown guy, now,

152
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: I think there, you're not, you know, writing this in

153
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: sharpie that he's just going to be your starter for

154
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: the next seven years. But like this is a positive.

155
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: And before you can run, like before you run a

156
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: five k, you might have to prove yourself you can

157
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: run a mile or help a couple laps, right, So,

158
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: I mean the bar's pretty low here. We're not looking

159
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: for John Elway or Joe Montana. We're just looking to

160
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: win a couple of games, throw a couple of touchdowns,

161
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: and complete a couple third downs on third longs, on

162
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: different looks, different concepts, and just be like, Okay, he

163
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: can do that. Check that off a lisp. So CONGRATSTU

164
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: to JJ McCarthy. A huge part of playing football, just

165
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: like a huge part of life is when shit hits

166
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: the fan, when things are not going well. And the

167
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: hard part about a football player it typically a lot

168
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: of them are young, right, so it's forcing you. It's

169
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: easier for us. As you go through life and tough

170
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: things happen, you know you've become a little hard. But

171
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: it's a lot easier for me to do it at

172
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: forty one years old than it was for me to

173
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: do it at twenty six, at twenty nine, at thirty two.

174
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: Right experience, you're able to grow on that. Sometimes as

175
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: a young player, it's all thrust on you. And he

176
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: was like, the one thing I will defend it is

177
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: tough being a young player put in a position on

178
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: a good team. It's way easier to just go to

179
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns or you know, the Arizona Cardinals or

180
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. And nothing matters, Like listen, I was

181
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: a fan of cam Ward at Miami, but I don't

182
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: even know what, Like nothing matters that they're doing, like

183
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: nothing with the Vikings, you know, these like everything to

184
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: start the season mattered a lot of eyeballs. They were

185
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: a fourteen wins team last year. They've been a really

186
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 1: good team under Kevin O'Connell. And it's just a lot

187
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: of pressure, even coming from Michigan where you've won the Natty.

188
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: Now granted, you won the Natty by defense and running

189
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: the ball and not much on you, and then you

190
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: go to a place where the coach wants to throw

191
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: the ball the time. And that's fine, that's what he

192
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: his philosophical belief on winning football games. But to execute

193
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: that at the highest level is difficult. And going on

194
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: the road in Dallas. You can throw at me all

195
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: you want about defensive statistics. I don't give a shit

196
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 1: that was a positive for Dallas. I don't think there's

197
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: that much to say. Uh, you know, when their defense

198
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: plays crappy, their offense has no margin for air, and

199
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: their offense was just a little often nite in George Pickens,

200
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: He's last couple of weeks I mean, what happened in

201
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: Detroit last Thursday, everything that led up to this, how

202
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,719
Speaker 1: they talked to him, and then he just kind of

203
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: feels like he's a little m i A again, I

204
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: think because with Dallas, that's the big picture of stuff, right,

205
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: And they clearly got a couple of picks, and this,

206
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: this Packer thing, which we'll talk about in a minute,

207
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: could get a lot better on their side, the Mica trade.

208
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: I mean, their season is could just completely unravel. I

209
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: mean it's not it's not impossible for the Packers to

210
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: miss the playoff. I think it would be unlikely, but

211
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: if they lose these next couple of weeks, this thing

212
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: could get away from and get away from quick. And

213
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: to me, if you're Dallas, now you're just better off losing.

214
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: But you're just better off losing these games, right, And

215
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: it's pretty clear now the Eagles, I know, officially they

216
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: haven't won the division. They've won the division. The Philadelphia

217
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: Eagles are going to be the three seed. Right, they

218
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: are going to host a game, and more than likely

219
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: this upcoming week against the Commanders, they will get a

220
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: hat and T shirt and this thing will be over.

221
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: And you know, Dallas's flaws. You know, when Dak's on,

222
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: he looks awesome. When he's a little off, he doesn't

223
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: quite look as good. And I just think that when

224
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: you go the Pickens thing was real, like the plays

225
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: he was making, he was just he was bawling. And

226
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: whatever happened over the course of the last I don't know.

227
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if it happened during the week leading

228
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: into Detroit during Thanksgiving week, I don't know, because he

229
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: was awesome that Thanksgiving Day game against the Chiefs, and

230
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: it's all kind of unwrapped. And the problem is is

231
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: that position is it's not a cheap endeavor, right, I

232
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: mean it's expensive to get into business with wide receivers.

233
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: Ask the forty nine ers about their situation with Brandon Ayuk,

234
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: Like they gave him seventy five million dollars, then he

235
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: just went mia and they tried to steal twenty five

236
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: million dollars back. And I said the time, like, this

237
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: guy's catching seventy four balls a year. But that's kind

238
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: of the going rate, right, I Mean, that's the going

239
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: rate for these guys. Like even if he's not a

240
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: top tier guy at minimum, he's still making twenty two

241
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: to twenty five million dollars a year. And I think

242
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: at this point in time, if you're the Cowboys, like,

243
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: is this what we want to get into business with? Right,

244
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: because they have a bunch of high level guys like

245
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: I see how hard CD Lamb plays and how hard

246
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: you know Dak and Ferguson, Like do you trust this

247
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: and paying him more money? And I think the answer

248
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: is Mike Toalmlin will tell you you see, I try

249
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: to tell you, you know, like I told you guys,

250
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty clear, like you got to be

251
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: smart about doing business this offseason when it comes to

252
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 1: paying a lot of money for you know, for that player,

253
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: especially a position where you can find guys in the

254
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: draft pretty easily, like you should be able to find

255
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: guys in the second, third, fourth round. They can be

256
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: really really productive for you immediately to go along with

257
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: the other weapons that you already have under contract. And

258
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, Quinn Williams was hurt tonight.

259
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: So I think if you're Dallas now that like you

260
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: ain't making the playoffs, I don't think it's the worst

261
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: thing to just keep losing out, get a hype draft

262
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: pick and just see what happens to Green Bay and

263
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: just reset this offseason, which I actually think has been

264
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: a pretty positive, pretty positive year for the Cowboys, like

265
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: pretty respectable. They made the Mica trade. Most people thought

266
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: they were going to be like a three win team.

267
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: They'll probably end up with seven wins. They had to

268
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: tie against the Packers. It was a pretty respectable year

269
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: given the circumstances your head coach that everyone thought. And

270
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: I'm probably guilty of this too. I'm like, what are

271
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: you doing hiring this guy? It's proven to be pretty

272
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: solid and he's definitely a good offensive play caller. Statistically,

273
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: they lead the league in yards per game. I think

274
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: they're like second or third in points per game, which

275
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: is his side of the ball in part of defense,

276
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: Like obviously your defensive coordinator has a big impact, but

277
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: like Fangio looks a lot better when he's got really

278
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: good players. I've seen Fangio with bad players and not

279
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: go well, Like Robert sala Is doing a badass job

280
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: this year. They just gave up twenty four points against

281
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: one of the worst teams, if not the worst team

282
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: in the league, the Tennessee Titans. So I think part

283
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: of it, and my point is Kazla doesn't have any

284
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: players right now, So, like a huge part of defense

285
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: is the Jimmy's and the Joe's. Now, once you got

286
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: the Jimmy's in the Joe's, if you pair them with

287
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: the x's and the o's, you got yourself the Houston Texans.

288
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: But you can't make chicken salad out a chicken shit

289
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: on defense. You can manipulate stuff on offense, can't do

290
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: it on a defense. And they just need some more firepower. Obviously,

291
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: they need an edge rusher to go along with their

292
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: defensive tackles. DB's are actually uh. I mean that they

293
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: have a couple uh defensive backs that you know, worth keeping.

294
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: But other than that, like they've seen a lot of

295
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: help they need. They just need players over there, which

296
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: I would imagine they draft heavy, heavy defense, and even

297
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: same thing with UH with free agency, because tonight was

298
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: pretty bad. I mean, he made JJ McCarthy look like

299
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: Joe Montana at times. You know where I bet on

300
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: sports during the holiday season, Hard Rock Bet not just

325
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: I mean the headline story of the league today, were

326
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: the two major injuries, starting with I would say the

327
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: league's most famous player. He's on the league's I mean,

328
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are going to officially now miss the playoffs,

329
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: but they have become the biggest brand in the league

330
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: over the last five or six years. And obviously Patrick

331
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: Mahomes is the superstar quarterback on the team towards ACL.

332
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: Which if I would have told you three months ago

333
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 1: that Patrick Mahomes would have torn his ACL in the

334
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: middle of December, your first reaction would have been, that's

335
00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: going to have major ripple effects on the AFC playoff

336
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: because over the last however many years, beside Joe Burrow,

337
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: none of these guys have been able to beat him.

338
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: He's beat Josh Allen four times in the playoffs. Obviously

339
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: two years ago he beat Lamar in Baltimore. You know

340
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: what he did last year. He's an unstoppable force when

341
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 1: the playoff games come, and he's been like well, even

342
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: if the Chiefs didn't win the division, there wouldn't have

343
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: been a soul that would have thought that. They wouldn't

344
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: have been a wild card team. And they have simply

345
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: had the Year from Hell and the Patrick Mahomes ACL

346
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: injury feels like I'd say the cherry on top of

347
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: the Year from Hell. But it's more than that. I mean,

348
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: it's late December, I know, and I'm guilty of this too.

349
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: You start doing the math in your head about how

350
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: long a guy's gonna miss. But I do think we

351
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: go back to Adrian Peterson when he came back in

352
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: like a month or whatever it was from his ACL injury.

353
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: That's not normal. Everyone reacts and responds to these injuries differently.

354
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: We have seen guys that you know, try to battle

355
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: back to quickly injure other parts of their leg. It

356
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: happened to you know, it's a different sport. But Klay

357
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: Thompson was returning from an ACL injury and Tours Achilles

358
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: we saw Daniel Jones had a broken leg Tours Tours Achilles.

359
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: You just this guy's your franchised. I mean literally, he

360
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 1: changed the NFL, the Kansasy Chiefs. He turned them into

361
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: like the Dallas Cowboys meets the Green Bay Packers. The

362
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: moment he began starting, he made Andy Reid, a guy

363
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: that was viewed as someone that could never win the

364
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: Big One, become a three time champion. Now you could

365
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: argue never win the Big One. Like Andy Reid's resume

366
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: before Patrick Mahomes was pretty awesome, but he turned him

367
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: into a living legend. I mean, one of the guy

368
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: that's gonna go into the Hall of Fame and be

369
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: considered right up there, like Bill Walsh. You know, Bill

370
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: Walsh won three Super Bowls. I think sometimes to talk

371
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 1: about Bill Walsh like he won five, he won three.

372
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: George Seafford won the last of the eighties and then

373
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: won another one in nineteen ninety four. So I just

374
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 1: think this injury is one if you're Kansas City, you're

375
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: just extra cautious on and your franchise goes as far

376
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: as this guy takes you. Now, let's face it, on

377
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: the field, over the last couple of years, he hasn't

378
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 1: quite been as dominant, So maybe there's an element of

379
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: reset here. I think if you're the chiefs Now I've

380
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: been saying this last week when it was clear they

381
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: weren't going to make the playoffs, Like, you're actually better

382
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: off losing out now. I don't even think you have

383
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: to argue just lose out. I mean just Minchew came

384
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: in kind of a tough spot obviously through terrible pick

385
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: where it wasn't even close to getting to Kelsey. I

386
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: mean he basically hit Derwin, James and Stride. But I

387
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 1: think if you're the Chiefs, not only do you want

388
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 1: to lose out, you're actually contemplating depending on how it goes,

389
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: Like if the Raiders look like they could have the

390
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: number one pick, would you actually try to screw them

391
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: and let them beat you so you derail their draft

392
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: hopes of getting potentially Fernando Mendoza and getting a franchise quarterback.

393
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: But there's no way around it. I mean, if you're

394
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: a Chiefs fan, this year has been awful. They've been

395
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: tough to watch at times. They've had just devastating losses.

396
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: And to see him down on the ground like that,

397
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: and to see the visual of him being helped back

398
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: to the locker room by the trainers. Rick Burke Holter,

399
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: who is the Chiefs trainer who I've known since Philly's

400
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,959
Speaker 1: been with Andy, I think, like twenty five years, it's

401
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: just terrible and it's a blow for the NFL. There's

402
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 1: just no way around it. Now, a little lucky that

403
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: this only happens with a couple of games left and

404
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: they're not going to be in the playoffs. And also

405
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: like an ACL injury. I saw Jordan Schultz put this

406
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: out there, that same thing with Tom Brady as ninth

407
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: year in the NFL. Now Tom towards a cl What

408
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: was it Week one against the Chiefs. Ironically, I want

409
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: to say Tony Pollard. It wasn't Tony Pollard, but it

410
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: was the Pollard. I'm pretty sure he played at UCLA

411
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: hit him in his lower leg. This was a little

412
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: different kind of a non co well, I guess he

413
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: got kind of bent back on a tackle. Now his

414
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: knee was already kind of felt like not doing great.

415
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: But man, I would say though, the bigger injury given

416
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: the impact on twenty twenty five, was Michael Parsons and

417
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: a lot like Patrick Mahomes. When he's laying there on

418
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: the ground, it's like, you know it. Maybe you watch

419
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: football long enough. Obviously the non contact stuff it tends

420
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: to be pretty clear, but I don't remember a team.

421
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 1: I mean, at one point in time to day they

422
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: were up twenty three to fourteen. It felt like in

423
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: full control of the game. And it's like, you know what.

424
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: The Packers coming off that big win, came on the

425
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 1: road to Denver, came out the gate swinging. They just

426
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: looked really good. Josh Jacobs is making justh. Jacobs look

427
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: like a Marshall Falk today catching balls down the sideline.

428
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: He had a big touchdown runsh Jacobs a badass, talking

429
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: about a Wardaddy. Josh Jacobs could play on my team

430
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: any day of the week and one hundred times on Sunday,

431
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 1: and he was dominating that game. And then Jordan Love

432
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 1: throws the pick over the middle of the field. Christian

433
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: Watson also major injury. We don't quite know the results

434
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: of that. I think they said he was gonna go

435
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: to the hospital when they get back to Green Bay.

436
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: They said a chest, not a shoulder, because I think

437
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: most people when he's laying on the ground assumed that

438
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 1: he broke his collar bone. So maybe he did something else.

439
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: We'll see if that's a season ender, because that would

440
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: be devastating. Then they score and they take the lead,

441
00:24:55,640 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: and then Michael Parkinsons Saria's acl, It's like, what just happened? Honestly,

442
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 1: I don't remember a team that we would have all

443
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: agreed like this team one hundred win the Super Bowl.

444
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: They have a dominant running back who can run and catch.

445
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: They have more than enough wide receivers. Even though their

446
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: star tight end is missing, they've done enough to fill that.

447
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: And their defense is unreal led by a forty million

448
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: dollars a year pass rusher who just looks like he

449
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 1: shot out of a can at every time he passed rushes.

450
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 1: Then their fastest guy on offense just taking back to

451
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: the locker room, who's injured, who just gets injured a

452
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 1: lot anyway, So you're just like, that's not good. But

453
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: when Micah Parsons was on the ground, honestly, I just

454
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: felt like there are season's over. That was my first response.

455
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: And then I didn't see the clip till halftime of

456
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: the Sunday night game when they show the floor, he

457
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: looks like he saw a ghost. How would he not.

458
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: He's was literally coaching a season that was one he

459
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: knows he has a team that's in a weird way,

460
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: like get to the Super Bowl or bust I would

461
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: say minimum NFC championship or bust. He's also kind of

462
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 1: coaching for a contract extension. I mean, part of this

463
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: whole season was Matt Lafleur's not under contract after this year.

464
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got a one year left, but like

465
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: this kind of extension time, he's either getting an extension

466
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 1: after this year, or as the new president kind of

467
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: alluded to before the season, like we're gonna have to

468
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: make a decision. And he's no dummy. He sees the reality.

469
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: I just lost a guy that scored five touchdowns in

470
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: four weeks, who's the fastest guy, one of the fast

471
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: guys in the league. And I lost the guy that

472
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: we traded two first rounders for, gave one hundred and

473
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: eighty eight million dollars, who's fucking dominated the majority of

474
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: the season and been the best player on our defense,

475
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: which has been one of the best defense in the league.

476
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: And now we're playing the Bears, who got their mojo

477
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: back against the Browns and are gonna be pretty confident

478
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: playing us because they took us down to the wire

479
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: a week ago, And all of a sudden, I look up,

480
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 1: I go, well, the Rams in Seattle both have eleven

481
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 1: wins they play Thursday. One of those two teams gonna

482
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 1: have twelve, and the forty nine ers are playing field rivers,

483
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 1: so more likely they're gonna have eleven wins at the

484
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: end of the year. At the end of the week,

485
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: So if we lose the Bears, we're probably not gonna

486
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 1: win the division. The Chicago Bears are and listen, the

487
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 1: Lions are technically still alive, but we either could be

488
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: the seventh seed, which is probably likely, or missed the playoffs.

489
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: Like this thing could become a disaster and become a

490
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:41,360
Speaker 1: disaster fast, so I don't blame them. It's the one

491
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 1: thing I've never missed about leaving football is just injuries. Like,

492
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: what are you supposed to say? Next man up? I

493
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 1: always thought is the dumbest, the dumbest thing that's ever

494
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 1: said in the NFL, Like there is no next man

495
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: up for Mike Parsons, there's no next man up for

496
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, there is no you go back to what

497
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 1: was his name, Dick for meal when Trent Green got

498
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: hurt and he said, Kurt Warner's a starter and we

499
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: will win with Kurt Warner. That's the only time that's

500
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: ever really worked like most guys. When Trent Green goes down,

501
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 1: Kurt Warner turns out to be like John Middlecalff and

502
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: you just lose every game and then you never hear

503
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: about that player ever again. The ninety nine percent of

504
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: the time, they do not turn out to be Kurt Warner.

505
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 1: They turn out to be a backup who gets exposed

506
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 1: when you play good teams, and the floor knows it

507
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: and you can see it on his face. We're fucked,

508
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 1: I mean, no way around it. And it sucks like you.

509
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: And it's not lucky for the Chiefs because they just

510
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: lost Patrick Mahomes to an ACL but their season was over, right,

511
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: so it sucks. You don't want to lose a thirty

512
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: year old superstar quarterback to a torn ACL, but you

513
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: were not going to the playoffs, so it just sucks

514
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: that he's injured. Right for the Packers, I mean, halfway

515
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: through this game, Matt Lafour had to be thinking, like,

516
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: we're not only gonna win this game, We're gonna beat

517
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: the Bears next week. We're gonna get the number one

518
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: seed and we're gonna win the freaking NFC and then

519
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna win the Super Bowl. And I'm gonna become

520
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: a legend. I'm gonna be like the skinny kind of

521
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: millennial version of Mike Holmgrin, Like that's what I'm gonna be.

522
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a statue in this franchise one day.

523
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: And then it flipped. And that's how fast things happen

524
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: in professional sports, especially in football, or in any given play,

525
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: someone could just be lost. Like at any given play,

526
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: it's like Daniel Jones is laying there, It's like, what's

527
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: his injury, Well, he's got a broken leg in a

528
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: torn achilles. Career could be altered and never be the

529
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: same again. That's that's how fast it happens. And I

530
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: think a lot of these injuries maybe it's just the

531
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: world we live in. We have so many cameras. You

532
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: just know it when you see it. And there wasn't

533
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: a soul that watched Michael Parsons laying on that ground

534
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: that thought like, oh, you might have just tweaked the knee.

535
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: We all thought the same thing. He just tore up

536
00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: his knee. He's done, it's over, and and it just

537
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: it sucks. There's nothing you can even say unless you're

538
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: a Packer fan, and then you just say a lot

539
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: of swear words and throw things at the wall and hopefully, Wow,

540
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: TVs are cheap. I just bought a couple. They're actually

541
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: extremely cheap for like the inflationary times we live in

542
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: where everything costs an arm and a lake. I mean,

543
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: you can't even find a sandwich for like under twenty bucks.

544
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: You can find like an eighty inch TV for like

545
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: three hundred and seventy five dollars. So if you did

546
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: break your TV, at least you know you go into Amazon.

547
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: You actually just get it delivered to your house. I

548
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,239
Speaker 1: think you can pay like fifty dollars. They'll even hang

549
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: the thing for you. But before we move on really quick,

550
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: I do need to tell you about my friends and

551
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: my partners game Time. They're the best in the business.

574
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: get over. That's just that sucks. I mean, it's the Packers.

575
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: If you're Roger right now, I mean they are a

576
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: cash cow for the league. You want them playing in

577
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: big games. And like I said, I mean I was

578
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: wrong in the Bears. I believe in the but you

579
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: know I was not a not a believer in the quarterback.

580
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: Didn't think it was gonna work with a coach. He

581
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: has been excellent. Caleb's made so many plays over the

582
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: last month. The I mentioned this to Coward when we

583
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: recorded like the mental fortitude they showed going into that

584
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: game today, And I get it, you're playing the Browns,

585
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: but to show up and just beat the living you

586
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: know what out of him was like, this team's for real.

587
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm picking them to win the

588
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: super Bowl, but after the devastating injuries, with the Packers

589
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: sitting here on December fourteenth, I mean, I like him

590
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: to win this week against Green Bay, and I like

591
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: him to end up winning the division. And that's all

592
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the Bears are going to be the

593
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: two seed. I think how crazy that is. I think

594
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: last year, didn't they lose like ten straight games. They

595
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: fired eber Flus the day after Thanksgiving. A year later,

596
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: they are, I mean, let's face it, a game away

597
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: from essentially winning the division and probably being the two seed.

598
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: I guess not in conceivable. If Seattle and the Rams

599
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: both lose a game or two that they could have

600
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: the number one seed. It's not out of the realm

601
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: of possibility. What a turn of events. I mean, speaking

602
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: of a team that might get the one seed, I mean,

603
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: Puka Nakua is like the Polynesian wide receiver version of

604
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: George Kittle. He's just I don't ever remember a receiver

605
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: quite like him, how physical he is, how tough he

606
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: is to tackle. Just what a all around baller the

607
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: dude is. I mean, he's really good, but it does

608
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: help to have help. And when you have Davonte with him,

609
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: you can't like throw three three guys at Pooka Nakua

610
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: right because at any moment, Davante can just makes we

611
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: catch his score touchdowns like he's a Hall of Fame

612
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: level guy. And when I looked up today and saw

613
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: Davante get a flat tire in that hammy, what looked

614
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: like pulled it again. And you know, Sean said after

615
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: the game that he wasn't gonna rule him out for

616
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: this week. The problem is this week is in four days,

617
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: and typically you don't pull a hamstring, especially when you've

618
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: had reoccurring hamstring injuries and go on the road. And

619
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: I haven't checked the weather, but it's probably be cold

620
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: and wet in play. So the problem is is Seattle

621
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 1: does have a bunch of dbs, an excellent defensive coordinator,

622
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: and to me, that entire game plan is like, listen,

623
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: there is no way puk is gonna have like ten

624
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 1: for one on us. It's just not gonna happen. We're

625
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: gonna try to keep him like fifty yards and we

626
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: will double cover him every single play. I don't care

627
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 1: what formations you do. We're gonna have two guys designated

628
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: to them and make these other tight ends in your

629
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: two running backs beat us, because that if you told me,

630
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 1: the Rams went and fully healthy. Now their defense has issues,

631
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: but Seattle is not playing well on offense. Sam Darnold

632
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: was not good for a lot of today. Now, clearly

633
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: the Colts had some life with Rivers, but that DeVante

634
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: Adams injury is pretty big, specifically for Thursday, which if

635
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: you're the Rams and you sweep Seattle and Seattle still

636
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: has to go on the road and play the forty

637
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: nine ers, pretty big. So I mean, I think this

638
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: game to me with Davante Adds is a total total

639
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: coin flip. The other injury is the forty nine Ers

640
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: play the Titans, who are just atrocious. I mean they're

641
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,359
Speaker 1: really really bad. There are plays where like, is this

642
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,399
Speaker 1: really happening? They also they also had some positive places

643
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 1: as well. Part of it is the forty nine ers defense.

644
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: They got a lot of randos out there, but offensively,

645
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: the Niners look incredible, And part of it is George

646
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: Kittle's as good as he ever been. George Kittle right

647
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: now looks like a combination of like the physicality of

648
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 1: Pete Gronk with the ball skills and you know, running

649
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: ability with the ball in his hands of like Pete

650
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. I mean, he looks like an unsolvable force McCaffrey,

651
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,240
Speaker 1: just slow and steady, Like he's not quite as explosive

652
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: as he was a couple of years ago, but he's

653
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: still an unreal player. Juwan Jennings dominated Ricky Pearsall, who

654
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: obviously drafted in the first round two years ago, got

655
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: derailed early last year because he got shot. But if

656
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 1: you removed the gunshot wound, which I saw, I think

657
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: the doctor that removed the bullets of the crazy part

658
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 1: about that is it was an inch or two away

659
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: from being you know, catastrophic for the guy's life. But

660
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 1: he's battled a bunch of other injuries from hamstring injuries,

661
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: to shoulder injuries to knee injuries, and he rolled his

662
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: ankle today. He hurt his knee at the end of

663
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: the game, and Kyle said he might have reinjured his PCL,

664
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: which is a problem because if this team's gonna make

665
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: some noise, which they still can, Like it's not inconceivable

666
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 1: if Seattle were to take down the Rams on Thursday night,

667
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 1: like they could still win the division because they still

668
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: play Seattle week eighteen. Now, they still got to beat

669
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: the Bears in a couple of weeks, which is not

670
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: gonna be easy given how well the Bears are offensive plan.

671
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: But their success is gonna hinge on their offense dominating

672
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: and their defense just doing enough. And part of their

673
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: offense dominating is like Brandon at Yuk. Kyle's like, yeah,

674
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: we haven't seen him in forever. I haven't seen him forever.

675
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: I don't even know where he is right. It's like

676
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: he's not coming back. This thing's a disaster, but we

677
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,240
Speaker 1: already knew that, Like he's been m a the whole time.

678
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: They were depending on Kendrick Bourne, who was literally in

679
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: NFL circles what you call when a guy's unemployed, Like

680
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: he's on the street, even though technically down on the

681
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: street like a homeless guy. I mean, he's a multi millionaire,

682
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: but he's on the street waiting for a job and

683
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: they offered him on and he's he's come in and

684
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: he's produced. But Ricky Pearsall is a better player. And

685
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: you get Pearsall Witch Jennings with McCaffrey, with George Kittle,

686
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: like they got a Kyle Shanahan high end offense. And

687
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: if they're gonna make noise, which they can win a

688
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: playoff game for sure, they're gonna need him. And that's

689
00:37:55,520 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: something to definitely monitor. Couple. I mean, at one point

690
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: in time today the New England Patriots were up twenty

691
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: one to nothing. Twenty one to nothing, I swear to god,

692
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: they were up fourteen to nothing for even blinked. It's

693
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:11,879
Speaker 1: like if the Bill is about to lose this game,

694
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: like fifty to ten. Honestly, at the end of the

695
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: first quarter felt like that. And I know they got

696
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and you can never count him out. It's

697
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 1: easy that after the game, but I don't. I think

698
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: you'd be hard pressed to find a Bills fan that

699
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: said ten to fifteen minutes into that game that you

700
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: thought you were gonna come back to win. It felt

701
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: like you were about to get boat raced, and then

702
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: Josh Allen happened. Here's my overall take. I'm not a

703
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: big Awards guy. I don't really rarely bet those, even

704
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: though I dabbled this year. I mean because Baker Mayfield

705
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: thing did look pretty tasty, it doesn't matter that much

706
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: to me, Like whether Peyton Manning won seven MVPs or

707
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: four MVPs, or Brady or Farv or any like. I

708
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 1: know what I saw, Like I have a pretty good

709
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 1: feel for when you watch guy, as most fans do.

710
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: And there were years when Michael Jordan didn't win the

711
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: MVP and other guys did, But there wasn't a soul

712
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: alive that thought Michael Jordan wasn't the best player in

713
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: the NBA, right And I think when you watch football,

714
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: you can give it to Stafford, and Stafford has an

715
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: unreal season. You could give it to you know, at

716
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: one point in time, a couple of weeks ago, it's

717
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: like Jordan Love could win it. There is not a

718
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: soul in the NFL. I don't think there's a fan

719
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL. They would say Josh Allen isn't the

720
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 1: best player currently playing in the league. He is an

721
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: unstoppable force. So whether he wins the MVP or not,

722
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 1: he's the best player in the league. And we all

723
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: know it. It's why I think awards and listen. It's

724
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: it'd be a you know, feather on the cap for

725
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: Stafford to win the MVP. So now we'd have a

726
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: super Bowl an MVP after the shitty years in Detroit,

727
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: even though they weren't that shitty because the ultimately got

728
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: paid like three hundred million dollars to lose a lot.

729
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: But you know, as a player, you want to accomplished

730
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: things as a team and as an individual. And he's

731
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: gonna be given the opportunity. If they can, you know,

732
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: play well Thursday night and finish this season strong, it

733
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: looks like Matt Stafford's gonna win it. Matt Staffer's not

734
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: better than Josh Allen. We all know it. And what

735
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 1: Josh Allen did today when he flipped that switch, they

736
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: went five straight tries, five straight touchdowns. He's making plays

737
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: with his legs, he's throwing these dimes, he's keeping plays alive,

738
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:27,359
Speaker 1: scrambling to throw it. It was it was just fun.

739
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: To watch, and if I was a Patriot fan, that

740
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: thing went from we are kicking the you know what

741
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: out of these guys to when they took the lead

742
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 1: late in the fourth quarter and then you scored immediately

743
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: on the Trevon Henderson run, so you're like, maybe it

744
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 1: was destiny. We're down four points and then Henderson hits

745
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: it and we're up three, and then what happens. Allen

746
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: takes you right down the field with a lot of

747
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: James Cook. They score again, and Josh McDaniels, I think

748
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: you guys ran seven more plays called one run. I

749
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: had a couple people that were like, we were gashing

750
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: these guys in the run game, and he just didn't

751
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 1: run it. And the one run of those seven plays

752
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: went for five yards, and they got really pass happy.

753
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,839
Speaker 1: I don't know if if Drake just got skittish, if

754
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: guys weren't open. Obviously it's cold, it's snowing. Josh is unfazed,

755
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,919
Speaker 1: but get Drake's a young player. This isn't exactly the

756
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 1: you know, Gronk Edelman, Randy Moss and Troy Brown running

757
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 1: around out there, and it crumbled and it crumbled on

758
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: him fast. I mean when they went turned it over

759
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: on downs late in the game. It was ugly. It

760
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,399
Speaker 1: was really really bad. So it's just one of those

761
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: moments where you're like, it's tough, you know. I mean,

762
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: the worst case scenario is like the Blue Jays in

763
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: the World Series, when you start looking at like your dad,

764
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: your buddies, just whoever you're watching the game with, They're like,

765
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: we're about to win the World Series. Nothing gets worse

766
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: than that. I think they had the lead in the

767
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: World Series with two hours to go. That's the worst

768
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 1: case scenario. But you got three quarters of football, you're

769
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: killing them and you're going we're gonna win the AFC

770
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:11,280
Speaker 1: East on December fourteenth against the Bills in Josh Allen,

771
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 1: do you know how awesome that's gonna feel? And everyone's

772
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: kind of feeling it, and there's probably a little cockiness

773
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: that comes back from, you know, those decades of watching

774
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 1: Brady and Belichick just curb stomped people just win this

775
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 1: division year after year. It's like, we're back, and then

776
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 1: you weren't back in Josh Allen beat you Now. I

777
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 1: still think the Patriots can win the division obviously just

778
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 1: based on math, but shows you, man, you just can't

779
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,399
Speaker 1: count this guy out. And I would say the same

780
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 1: thing for Denver when they're down twenty three fourteen and

781
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 1: they weren't really playing that bad, but Jacobs has hit

782
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 1: a couple of big plays and you're just not listen, like,

783
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,760
Speaker 1: this isn't the end of the world. The Patriots had lost,

784
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: so you maintain that number one seed, but this team's

785
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 1: coming off, you know, a big win. It's like, are

786
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: you just not as good as the Packers? And then

787
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 1: Jordan threw that pick and then it just flipped and

788
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 1: like I said, you know earlier, I haven't watched every

789
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: Bonnicks game. I definitely didn't watch many at Auburn clearly

790
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: didn't go well for the majority of it. You know,

791
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: a lot of with in fairness, like I the orguing

792
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 1: the offense was the offense, and you know a lot

793
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 1: of people gave him shit for throwing the ball behind

794
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. He put up great numbers and

795
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 1: they were a really good team, but what he did

796
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: today is nothing like I've ever seen that guy play football.

797
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: That was as good of a game as I would

798
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 1: imagine he's ever played. And when you factor in the

799
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 1: o pponent, that's easily the best game of his life,

800
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: and he needed it because like Denver has a championship defense,

801
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: they have a coach who is comfortable being in the playoffs.

802
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: But there's no questioning the head coach running a playoff team,

803
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 1: and there's no questioning their defense. But when your quarterback

804
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: is not dependable, like you think, you can get weird

805
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: in the playoffs because you have a crappy half, your

806
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,399
Speaker 1: season can be over all of a sudden, you throw

807
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: a pick or a pick six, you find yourself down

808
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 1: seventeen to three. You just you can't get back and

809
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: you'll lose. And if he's gonna play like that, like

810
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: that team can win the Super Bowl. If he plays

811
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: like that, no one's beating Denver. If bow Knicks is

812
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: gonna be good, they will be the AFC champions. Specially

813
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: it has to go through Denver. There's a reason Denver

814
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: beat the Patriots so many times in the Belichick era.

815
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,439
Speaker 1: There's a reason that Peyton Manning got him right. They're very,

816
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 1: very difficult team to beat on the road. Going to

817
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: Mile High fan base is crazy, it's loud, it's intense,

818
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: the weather plays a factor, and you know you're playing

819
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:49,399
Speaker 1: an excellent defense. So I haven't been sold on bow

820
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,359
Speaker 1: Knicks because he hasn't played well and you've watched him,

821
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: you went, you can't function with this if he plays

822
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: like that. I mean that looked like Josh Allen or

823
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes in his prime. Like that was. That was

824
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 1: an elite performance For a majority of the game. He

825
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: was playing well too, is when Michael was out there,

826
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: and then when Micah went out, it was truly on

827
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 1: like Donkey Kong. He was. I don't think he was

828
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 1: sacked today. Passes on the run obviously, some just some

829
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: beautiful over the shoulder, deeper, deeper balls that he has

830
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: missed on a ton to Courtland Sutton, he made an

831
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 1: unreal scramble to his right where he split like these

832
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,359
Speaker 1: two defenders that were like ten feet ahead of them.

833
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: It was one of the best passes he's probably ever

834
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 1: made in his NFL career. When he was talking about

835
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:37,399
Speaker 1: touch but he was, he was. He was brilliant today,

836
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: He really was. That was. I saw some backer fans

837
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 1: on the internet it was like, it's like, did the

838
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: football guys come down just just throw him a bone

839
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: for some of his earlier performances, because that was that

840
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: was awesome that it looks like the Patriots now, you know,

841
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: have a little work to do when it comes to

842
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: that number one seed. But listen, if I were told

843
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 1: any Patriot fan, would you be cool with having the

844
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,479
Speaker 1: number two seed for sure now at this point in time.

845
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: If it does get away from you and you end

846
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 1: up not winning the division, that would feel pretty devastating.

847
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 1: Daniel Craig returns as Ben wi Blanc in Wake Up

855
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 1: theaters and on Netflix, rated PG. Thirteen. A couple other

856
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 1: quick things story today about the Bengals. I mean, I

857
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: didn't follow the web. They're hour by hour over the

858
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: last couple of days in Cincinnati, Ohio. But I guess

859
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 1: there's a league rule. Mike Florio pointed out that if

860
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: it snows, the team has to remove snow from the

861
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,319
Speaker 1: seats for the fans. Right, You just you pay a

862
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 1: crew and they come. I don't know exactly what they do,

863
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 1: knock it off. It's not like they're carrying it out

864
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: of the stadium and they're just knocking it off and

865
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: clearing the seats. The Bengals did not do that. They

866
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: paid nobody to do anything, and the seats were covered

867
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 1: with snow, which is a league violation. Now the Bengals

868
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 1: pushed back it wasn't as bad. But I think it's

869
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 1: a clear reflection that everyone thinks their owner is the

870
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,879
Speaker 1: cheapest human alive. And I've said forever I think when

871
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 1: you are really, really wealthy and you're still really cheap,

872
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 1: it's a disease. It's no different than we could list

873
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 1: a million diseases. It is a disease. You do not

874
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 1: shake that. I mean there are a notorious stories still

875
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: about like Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan being cheap. It's like,

876
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 1: you guys are billionaires, but you don't shake it. It's

877
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: something you carry with you. You're higher life. We all

878
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: know people maybe not billionaires, but people that do well

879
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 1: successfully or you know, successfully financially and just will not

880
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:12,320
Speaker 1: pull out their wallet. And I truly believe it's a disease.

881
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 1: And Mike Brown has it. Like Mike, whether you like

882
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,959
Speaker 1: it or not, you're a billionaire now. Your team's worth

883
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:22,240
Speaker 1: billions of dollars. Your team generates just from the media

884
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 1: deal four hundred and fifty million dollars a year. Your

885
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:30,840
Speaker 1: team's payroll is not even you know, it's like half that.

886
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 1: So and we know you ain't paying many executives because

887
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: it's all your family running it. So I just think

888
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:39,880
Speaker 1: it's pretty embarrassing. And then his team got embarrassed and

889
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 1: Lamar showed them some signs of life for the first

890
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:44,760
Speaker 1: time it felt like in a month. It was like, Okay,

891
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 1: this is kind of Lamar Jackson that we all know

892
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: and love, and we'll see tomorrow with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

893
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 1: But you know, the Ravens team the last couple of

894
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 1: weeks has just been terrible, partly because Lamar has not

895
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:01,439
Speaker 1: played well. He did look a lot better today, made

896
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 1: some beautiful d passes. His day flowers a couple of times.

897
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 1: When their passing game gets going, it open it up

898
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: for Derek Henry. You start running around like he's a

899
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: freaking thoroughbred. When that gate opens and he starts kind

900
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:17,319
Speaker 1: of galloping, and that those trides are covering like eight

901
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:19,759
Speaker 1: yards per every two steps, You're like, holy shit, this

902
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 1: guy's a monster, So watch out for the Ravens. A

903
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:29,720
Speaker 1: couple other quick things. Shador Sanders was obviously not good today,

904
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 1: and I think the problem for him is the Browns.

905
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:37,880
Speaker 1: You know, there are so many bad teams. They're not

906
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,360
Speaker 1: guaranteed to have the number one pick. I mean technically

907
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,839
Speaker 1: right now, they're like the fifth or sixth pick. There

908
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: are gonna be a couple of teams like the Giants,

909
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: like the Titans, who are not gonna take quarterbacks. Obviously

910
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 1: the Raiders would take a quarterback, but the Browns don't

911
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: necessarily control their own destiny of getting a quarterback. But

912
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 1: they do have a couple of picks. Now that Jack's

913
00:49:56,600 --> 00:50:00,080
Speaker 1: pick will probably be somewhere in the twenties, but they

914
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 1: we do have that as amo to move up a

915
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 1: little bit if the you know, if the Giants or

916
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:05,760
Speaker 1: whoever want to move back. But you have days like today.

917
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:09,440
Speaker 1: It is now. One of his interceptions was not his fault.

918
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 1: It literally went right through Jerry Judy's stomach and Jalen

919
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 1: Johnson just grabbed it and picked it off in the

920
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:17,799
Speaker 1: end zone. But he had some other He hit the

921
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: other two picks for atrocious and obviously the team's terrible.

922
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 1: I just think it's going to be very, very difficult

923
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 1: for him to show enough whether this regime stays or

924
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 1: is gone and new people come in for them not

925
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 1: to be extremely aggressive to try to get Now Fernando

926
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 1: Mendoza is the only quarterback that comes out, and the

927
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 1: Raiders have the number one overall pick, it will be

928
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: a moot point because they'll they will just draft the kid.

929
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:46,399
Speaker 1: And if Dante More goes back to school, we saw

930
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 1: Sellers went back to school with then Il. A lot

931
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 1: of these quarterbacks go back to school and you just

932
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:55,359
Speaker 1: kind of roll back with Gabriel Schador and that's kind

933
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,839
Speaker 1: of your quarterback room with Deshaun Watson, I guess coming

934
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 1: back and you just kind of roll it over. But

935
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,400
Speaker 1: that just shows you this team is really really bad.

936
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 1: I mean that was the barrass clown. Then today they

937
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:12,760
Speaker 1: embarrassed him, and I think one of Shador's problems is

938
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 1: is and we talk about getting rid of the ball,

939
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 1: and it was a knock on him in college, well

940
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:19,760
Speaker 1: in the Big twelve, not many good defenses the Big twelve,

941
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: you know, in the NFL, Chador is athletically is much

942
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 1: closer to like a Kirk Cousins than he is to

943
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 1: like a bo Nix. He's not a run around guy.

944
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:32,359
Speaker 1: He is a pocket quarterback. You have to get rid

945
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:34,800
Speaker 1: of the ball quickly when you try to run around scramble.

946
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 1: That is not gonna work out well when you have

947
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,400
Speaker 1: your skill set. He didn't get his father's athletic ability,

948
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 1: clearly got his moms. I think they've even joked about

949
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 1: it as a family. But when you're gonna throw a

950
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 1: bunch of interceptions down the stretch, your team keeps losing,

951
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:53,880
Speaker 1: you're just not like next year's in major question because

952
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,360
Speaker 1: if they do draft a quarterback really high, are they

953
00:51:56,400 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: gonna keep Shador standers at the backup? Now with a

954
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:02,879
Speaker 1: fifth round pick, you'd be like, yeah, just keep him,

955
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 1: keep him around, and he'll just compete for the backup

956
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 1: job with someone else. But Chador is so much more

957
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 1: They could draft Fernando Mendoza. Shador is more famous in

958
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:15,879
Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza, which is just just a reality. And he's

959
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 1: definitely a bigger talking point. And it's just one of

960
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 1: those situations that like, this thing could just get weird,

961
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: and it get weird fast, and you can kind of

962
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 1: feel it coming. If their games like today are gonna

963
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:29,400
Speaker 1: keep happening, these last couple of games of the season

964
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: and last but not least, you know sometimes and listen,

965
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 1: I've never been in my mid seventies, but I've also

966
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 1: never been worth one hundred million dollars and probably more.

967
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 1: And I think when you look back at Pete Carroll,

968
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 1: he was forced out of Seattle, and he's a prideful guy.

969
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,760
Speaker 1: He didn't want to quit and he didn't have a choice.

970
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 1: The problem is is when he was forced out, he

971
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 1: refused to wave the white flag. He was desperate to

972
00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:00,040
Speaker 1: do whatever it took to get back involved. Now. The

973
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 1: album was is that his options basically didn't exist. Teams

974
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:09,320
Speaker 1: didn't want him until one team was pretty desperate, didn't

975
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 1: have any other options to hire a coach, and they

976
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 1: hired Pete Carroll. Turns out as the Raiders, and Pete

977
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:18,839
Speaker 1: Carroll is adamant and every time I see him talk,

978
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 1: he's like, all I've ever done is win. All I

979
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 1: do is win The problem is now you're just losing

980
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: and you had a team that didn't even get one

981
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 1: hundred yards of offense today, and I you know, typically

982
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:36,799
Speaker 1: like Willy May's on the Mets, you know some of

983
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:40,720
Speaker 1: these famous players that and I'm not comparing. I wouldn't

984
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 1: compare Pete Carroll quite to Willy Mays, but you know

985
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:45,800
Speaker 1: what I mean. You know, if Lebron next year finished

986
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:49,840
Speaker 1: his career like the Atlanta Hawks or whatever, sometimes things

987
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 1: happen and you just forget about him with time. And

988
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 1: it is true, like this season is not going to

989
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 1: define Pete Carroll's career by any means. Super Bowl champions,

990
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: a National champion, He's coached and drafted Hall of Fame players,

991
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy winning players, legend. But it's over. And this

992
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: is a guy that should have just rode off in

993
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:16,839
Speaker 1: the sunset, been a rich guy, enjoyed himself in southern California.

994
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,800
Speaker 1: Maybe todd a class at USC, hung out by the beach,

995
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 1: maybe done some TV for Fox and Studio if he

996
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 1: needed to get his football at Chahn. But he was adamant,

997
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:29,560
Speaker 1: like I have to coach, and it shows you which

998
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 1: I do respect that I would put Belichick it's you know,

999
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 1: Belichick's it feels like a little more scandalous with the

1000
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 1: Jordan Hudson thing, but like these guys just couldn't tap out.

1001
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 1: They just refused to go, and sometimes you just gotta go,

1002
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,839
Speaker 1: and he didn't. Oh, I also wanted to hit on

1003
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 1: one more thing. Philip rivers, he cried after the game.

1004
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 1: I actually think he gave a really good message that

1005
00:54:57,080 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 1: he basically admitted that he was a little nervous in question,

1006
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:02,319
Speaker 1: like was a little scared, like what was gonna look like?

1007
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 1: And my first, you know, reaction was it actually was

1008
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:09,800
Speaker 1: way better than I thought. And there was this picture

1009
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 1: of him before the game where he probably looked. My

1010
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 1: guess is he weighs two hundred and sixty five to two

1011
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:17,320
Speaker 1: hundred seventy pounds. I mean, Phillip's an enormous guy. Like

1012
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy pounds on him actually isn't that big,

1013
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 1: but it's definitely way bigger than he used to be.

1014
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 1: He's never moved great his arms, you know, it was

1015
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 1: never great either, but probably not as good as it

1016
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 1: was ten years ago. But its functional, I guess. And

1017
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:37,400
Speaker 1: he went out there and tried and I think a

1018
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:39,239
Speaker 1: lot of people in his position were like, I'm not

1019
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 1: gonna go out there and embarrass myself because the easiest

1020
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 1: thing is to go take the worst case scenario, and

1021
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 1: that's not what he did. And he's teary eyed after

1022
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:53,839
Speaker 1: the game, I think because he's like, this was I

1023
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:56,399
Speaker 1: bet he didn't sleep this much or much this week

1024
00:55:56,719 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 1: right anticipating this. His brother's there, his son's there, and

1025
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 1: the video of his team in Fair Hope, Alabama watching

1026
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:07,719
Speaker 1: the game cheering for him. He throws the touchdown, he

1027
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:10,920
Speaker 1: gives a big fist pump. He was basically dunking and

1028
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:14,359
Speaker 1: duncan all game. I also think a huge part of

1029
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:18,800
Speaker 1: signing him and playing him was trying to give life

1030
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 1: to the team, like a huge part of being a

1031
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:24,399
Speaker 1: head coach or a GM when you hear like you've

1032
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 1: got to know your locker room and know how the

1033
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 1: players are thinking, are responding. They had to be teetering

1034
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 1: on just all quitting, because once Daniel Jones goes out,

1035
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 1: Anthey Richson is injured, Riley Lonards also injured, it's like,

1036
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:41,399
Speaker 1: what do we even do? What was this all for?

1037
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:44,960
Speaker 1: And Philip Rivers, I think a lot of people, including myself,

1038
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: kind of laughed at it. I mean, it was insane.

1039
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 1: They signed a forty four year old high school coach

1040
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 1: who hadn't played in the NFL in five years. But

1041
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 1: I felt like a couple quarters in every single quarterback,

1042
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 1: former quarterback, whether at college or definitely in the NFL

1043
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:03,839
Speaker 1: in their forties and their fifties were watching that game

1044
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:06,399
Speaker 1: and had a little smile, and part of them had

1045
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 1: to be like, could I still do that? Could I

1046
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 1: still throw a couple first downs? I mean, there was

1047
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:15,840
Speaker 1: that viral video of Vinnie Testaverdi with John Gruden getting

1048
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 1: down doing the hard count, and you could just see

1049
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 1: it in his eyes as he went on and on.

1050
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 1: It's like, God, Vinnie, if you needed a third and eight,

1051
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 1: Vinnie thinks it deep down in his mind he'd give

1052
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 1: it to you. And Philip even mentioned it after the

1053
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 1: game when they said what was it like to get hit?

1054
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 1: He's like, honestly, I wanted to get hit. I told

1055
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 1: my wife a couple of years ago one thing I

1056
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 1: miss is releasing the ball and getting blasted by a

1057
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 1: defensive lineman. My wife's like, you're sick, and he's like,

1058
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:44,919
Speaker 1: I know, I am. Part of it is it doesn't

1059
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 1: hurt as much. I mean, he's Philip Rivers is exactly

1060
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 1: Bryce Young. I mean he is a massive human being.

1061
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 1: I just thought that was a cool moment. It was

1062
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 1: cool they kicked that sixty yard field goal. Now part

1063
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 1: of it at the end of games now when you

1064
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: leave a team forty fifty six seconds, even if they

1065
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 1: don't have timeouts. With this, with this new kickoff rule,

1066
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 1: is you're gonna get the ball at minimum at the

1067
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 1: thirty and a lot of times I like the forty.

1068
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:16,560
Speaker 1: So you're just like one big completion away from kicking

1069
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:18,880

Speaker 1: plus three. I'm going eight chan multiple touchdowns, and the
