17
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: longtime radio show and now the podcast. I think this

18
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: is year three of the podcast. You guys know I'm

19
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: a huge Jets fan. You guys know I rooted hard

20
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: for Mark Sanchez and the Jets when they went to

21
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: back to back a f C Championship games. I'm the

22
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: kind of guy who buys his kids Jets gear and

23
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: they're like, I'm not wearing this, Like why do you

24
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: root for the Jets? What is the deal that? And

25
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: they're still young. Mark Sanchez is the guests on today's podcast.

26
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: I I got into the highs with the Jets. I

27
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: did not get enough butt fumble and all that. Who

28
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: cares that he cares about the butt fumble? That's old? Um,

29
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna enjoy it. We talked about this

30
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: week's games. He's now an announcer. It's good stuff. Uh,

31
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about that guy, Zach Wilson in New

32
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: York madness going on. I'm looking for an overarching story

33
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: to start the podcast. I wanted it to be Baker Mayfield,

34
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: but guys, it's just so weird. No, I don't think

35
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: anybody really cares that Baker Mayfield is now going to

36
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: the bench and Sam Donald is gonna be the starter

37
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: in Carolina. It is very strange, honestly, I mean, was

38
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: it three years ago? I think it was the COVID

39
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: two thousand and twenty was the year that the Browns

40
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: on to the playoffs, beat the Steelers badly with Baker

41
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: a quarterback, then had the Chiefs on the ropes. Mahomes

42
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: gets a concussion, but Stefanski didn't trust Baker to throw

43
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: the ball. They ended up hunting and they never get

44
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: the ball back. It's been all downhill from Baker from there,

45
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: all downhill, and now he's in Carolina and now he's

46
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: the backup again. Sam Donald's getting a shot this weekend,

47
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: and I don't even know that anybody really cares. I mean,

48
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: that is how quickly you can rise to the top.

49
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: Baker was never even one of the top quarterbacks. He

50
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: was just leading the league in commercials. But that's how

51
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: swift the drop is. There's always someone new coming. You

52
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: gotta stay on your game. I kind of feel the

53
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: same way about sports media. I'm always looking over my shoulder,

54
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: Who's next, who else is talking about what I'm talking about?

55
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: Who else is trying to deliver all the goods that

56
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: I am? Who else is a triple threat like I am?

57
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: I gotta be honestly. I mean maybe that's a little

58
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: paranoia on my end, but I'm always looking over my shoulder,

59
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: trying to get better and not really worrying about my spot,

60
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: but always trying to bolster myself and continuously improve. You've

61
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: gotta continuously be moving forward. Baker's not. He's a backup

62
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: now in Carolina. I don't know that anybody cares. I

63
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: was texting a couple of friends. I'm like, oh, should

64
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: I start Sam Donald in fantasy because I have Kirk

65
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: Cousins and he's got a night game. We'll talk about that.

66
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: And both of my responses were, he's Baker not even starting,

67
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: like nobody knew now, and maybe it's chucking up to Thanksgiving.

68
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,119
Speaker 1: It's a travel week. There's a lot happening. Obviously. There's

69
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: this Lane Kiffin story happening in college football. Is he

70
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: or is he not leaving Ole Miss for Auburn? Is he? Is?

71
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: He denying it so fiercely on social media the Auburn

72
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,839
Speaker 1: that he just wants his players to lock in before

73
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: the Egg Bowl. Then he's gonna bolt, like, come on,

74
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: none of these coaches, they don't listen. The players don't

75
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: know the coaches anything. The coaches don't know the players anything.

76
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: That's where we are in college football. The transfer portal

77
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: is awesome, and if the players finally have the power

78
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 1: coaches leave all the time, leave the players high and

79
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: dry white. You can't. The players do the same, and

80
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: now they are through the transfer portal. So when Lane

81
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: Kiffin goes Ole Miss, better have somebody quickly ready to

82
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: save whatever good players are in that program, because the

83
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: exodus will be swift, and everybody who Lane recruited there

84
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: is gonna be like, oh, Lane, can I come with you?

85
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: Can I level up to Auburn? Although I don't know

86
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: if it's leveling up. Although Auburn it's a very strong program.

87
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: But like college football is going through some stuff. You know,

88
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: it's just a great time in sports. I told you, guys,

89
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: this is gonna be the best month. We had the

90
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: Maui Classic last night. Did anybody see Arkansas c I

91
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: told you guys to bet on Crayton. Creaton delivered. It was.

92
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: It was dicey for a moment, Crayton wins and covers.

93
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: It looked like an Elite eight kind of matchup in November.

94
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: It was just a great basketball game. Uh. Speaking of basketball,

95
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: I'll only be brief before we get to Mark Sanchez,

96
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: our guest, the Sacramento Kings one again. That's seven straight, remember, guys,

97
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: we did the NBA preview. I know the die hard,

98
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,679
Speaker 1: the Tier one listeners, as Rob Legs to call them,

99
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: They'll remember I have the King's over, I have them

100
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. You scoffed their third in the West.

101
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 1: It's a long scene. It's a marathon. We're like one

102
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: what is sixteen games? Is like the one fifth mark

103
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: about thereabouts. Um, But they're looking great. Seven straight wins.

104
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: They beat jahm Ran Johmaran tried to talk trash to

105
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: Malik Monk at the foul line, and Malik Monk hit

106
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: both of his free throws. You love to see it.

107
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: I'm enjoying the Sacramento Kings. Um. But without further ado,

108
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: I think we need to get to our guest. We'll

109
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: do best bets at the end of the podcast. I've

110
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: laid a lot of bets for World Cup College Football,

111
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: NFL obviously Thanksgiving bet, but we'll do that after former

112
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: New York Jets quarterback I think the winningest Jets playoff

113
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: quarterback in the history of the franchise, Mark Sanchez. Jason

114
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: likes to think he knows everything when it comes to sports.

115
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: I know what sports stands want, but for everything he

116
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: doesn't he knows a guy who does. Let's just say

117
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: I know a guy who knows a guy who knows

118
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: another guy. All right, let's welcome into straight fire, a

119
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: legend in New York Jets history. I haven't officially checked,

120
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: but I don't know that anybody has more playoff wins

121
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: as a quarterback than this gentleman. He now calls games

122
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: for Fox. He goes on the studio shows. He's a

123
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: former USC quarterback. Mark Sanchez is in the building. Mark,

124
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: what up? Straight fired? Dude? Great, great title. I'm fired up, dude.

125
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: So funny that I'm telling you, Like my kid, um

126
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 1: was born March. I think my kid was about to

127
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: turn one the year you guys went to the a

128
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: f C Championship. Um, you know, and I remember getting

129
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: Jets gear for for my young son. My daughter had

130
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: not been born at the time, and I was I

131
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: was like a big Sanchez guy. I was like, Dude,

132
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: Sanchez is leading us to victories. We got the offensive line,

133
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: the defense, and two a f C title games. Ban

134
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: We have not been back to the playoffs since the

135
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: loss to Pittsburgh, and I could say we on this podcast. Um.

136
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: First of all, I I remember being at a party. Um,

137
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: let's just say there were some under the influence of

138
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: some things at that party because we were fired up.

139
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: We thought we were going to the super Bowl. And

140
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: I all I remember is awful first half. You guys

141
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: are down a ton and then you start leading this

142
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: incredible comeback. I want to I want to you to

143
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: go quickly back to being on the bench. The Jets defense,

144
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: all they need is one stop to get Ben Roethlisberger

145
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: off the field. Four minutes left, we almost had an

146
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: Innie set and two I think it was like the

147
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: second or third drive. Um, and Kyle Wilson plays great

148
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: coverage and he just dropped the ball, like physical mistake,

149
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: but he was in the right spot and everything. But

150
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: we we're marching back, dude. Honestly, people talk about like

151
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: the goal line stand, you know, the Roethlisberger play at

152
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: the end, But I feel like the goal line stand

153
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: where we didn't score. That one crushed us. That took

154
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: a little like let out of our pencil, you know,

155
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: like we're just like, damn that one hurt. Then the

156
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 1: real one was before halftime. Looking back now, like as

157
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: a play caller, I bet Shoddy would be like, you know,

158
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: we could just hand the ball off here, like we're

159
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: not really getting anything. And it was the sack fumble

160
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: that they returned. That one sucked, and they hit us

161
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: with a blitz from the field and smoked us um.

162
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: That one sucked because right before halftime we were you know,

163
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a move point anyway, we knew

164
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: we're getting her asses kicked. And I was like, all right,

165
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: let's just get to the halftime and regroup and you know,

166
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: make a run at this thing and see what happens.

167
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: You know, and games like that, it feels more like

168
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: you run out of time, you know. It doesn't feel

169
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: like you lose, like because we're so competitive in it

170
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: and like had so many chances. It was just it

171
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: was tough. Man. The other thing, I mean, you got

172
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: to give them credit to like that entire first quarter

173
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: they had the ball for like fourteen minutes or so ridiculous,

174
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: So weird. I mean, I was just freezing my ass

175
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: off on the sidelines, like dude, can we play please? Yeah, unbelievable.

176
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: I guess The weird part is like everybody's career took

177
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: a turn after that. SE's like Rex Ryan quickly flamed out.

178
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: You know, you had a tough go there in New

179
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: York with the media and like you know and whatever. Um,

180
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: but I'm just curious that we talk, you know, during

181
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: commercials at the herd, and I pepper you with questions

182
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: just because I want to learn and find stuff out.

183
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: But I am curious, like you still remember like plays

184
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: vividly from a decade ago, like this is over ten

185
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: years ago now, Yeah, of course I don't. I don't know.

186
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 1: I think you have that kind of memory. I mean,

187
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: I'm not like photographic like McBay, but um, yeah, I

188
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: got a pretty good memory with stuff like that. Like

189
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: you what's crazy is like when you go to uh

190
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: when we had our playoff game against the Chargers, um,

191
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: walking on the field, like the same groundskeepers or whatever,

192
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: it smelled like the Colosseum, the grass and everything. Okay,

193
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: so when we go on we're on the road and

194
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: I walked in for that playoff game and I was like, damn,

195
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: that smells like like home, Like that smells like the colleague,

196
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: you know. And then they go over the loudspeaker testing

197
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: testing one to three. It was the same announcer from

198
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: the Colosseum. I was like, oh my god, boys, we're winning.

199
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: This one, like let's go, you know, like there was

200
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: no way we could lose that. You know, so those

201
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: kind of memory reason and I've always been better with

202
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 1: you know, like learning offenses and code words and pictures

203
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: and stuff. I just have a good way of remembering

204
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 1: that stuff and some good ones. And that's some good ones. Yeah,

205
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: I am curious. There was news today we're recording this

206
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, that Baker Mayfield is not going to start

207
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: for Carolina this week. It's gonna be Sam Donald. Sam

208
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: Donald back given a shot coming off the injury. Uh. Mark,

209
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: It's weird. Anybody who gets drafted in the first round

210
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: you're either really really good or they they deem you

211
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 1: like a bust and then you're quickly out of the lead.

212
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: That that's what it feels like. And I know that

213
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 1: it's not fair, right obviously, if you're like a third

214
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: round pick and you don't work, you're not a bus

215
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: because you were in the first round pick. The media

216
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: has a weird way of of doing that. I don't

217
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: know your guest right now. Do you think Baker Mayfield

218
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: is on an NFL roster Week one next year? Yes,

219
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: for sure. And I think part of the reason, yeah,

220
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: it'll be because he's a first rounder, right, Like a

221
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: lot of people had first round grades on him. And

222
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: you got to remember everybody, even you know, when Baker

223
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 1: was drafted and other teams have their quarterback, you still

224
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: grade those guys, you still give them draft grades and

225
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: watch all their tape because at some point he could

226
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: be available, right, and you've got to go back to

227
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: your report and figure out, Okay, where do we like

228
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: this guy. Maybe we didn't see him as the number

229
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: one overall pick, but we thought we had a you know,

230
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: late first round grade on him or mid first round

231
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: grade on him. Whatever, here's what we like, Here's were

232
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: we right about him based on our assessment? What have

233
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: we seen? Boom, And then you're gonna watch all that

234
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: tape again to decide whether or not you're gonna pull

235
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: the trigger on acquiring him as a quarterback. Well, they

236
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: do that for every position, So they have these books

237
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: of reports on everybody in every building. Um, but I

238
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: think part of the reason that Baker is not going

239
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: to play as well as well one last week didn't

240
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: go so well, but um in Baltimore. But part of

241
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: it is like playtime, if he hits a certain percentage

242
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: of playtime. Then the pick they give to the Browns changes,

243
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: I believe, and it goes from like a fit to

244
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,719
Speaker 1: a fourth or something something like that. So they're trying

245
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: to save some draft capital. Yeah, it's weird, and they

246
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 1: got to make a decision on Sam, like a definitive

247
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: one to keeping them around to be a veteran presence

248
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: for crafting or corral. Maybe. I don't know. I remember

249
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: Krall went down. I don't I don't know what they're

250
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: gonna do um, but you know, it could be an

251
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 1: attractive place. I think over the next two seasons they

252
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: have over the next two drafts and four, they have

253
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: almost the equivalent of three total drafts pickwise, right, so

254
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 1: they have their first through seventh or whatever both years

255
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: and then at two, three, four, five, and six or something.

256
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: So it's I mean, they're going to have some serious

257
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: players to to evaluate and decide on. Yeah, I just

258
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: want some guys. It seems like they're fine holding a

259
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: clipboard Chase Daniel and it was not a first rump

260
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: pick he's playing for. You know, these guys are fine

261
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: making money sitting on the bench. I just don't know

262
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: if Baker's wired that way, you know, he is so

263
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 1: competitive it could be hard. And that's why a lot

264
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: of guys can't go into that role, right, Like they're

265
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: so alpha that if you bring them in, it will

266
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: disrupt what you have going for your starter. And the

267
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: most important thing in my opinion, for the starting quarterback

268
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: unless they're you know, well well into their thirties or something,

269
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: as a starter, is to have that better in presence,

270
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: to have a guy like Baker if he wanted to

271
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: do that for a young guy and help a young

272
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: guy because he's seen it all into the sun the

273
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: same way I got to do it with Mr Rubisky,

274
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: with Dak Prescott, Like that just becomes your role and

275
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: it's no longer about you. You break down tape and

276
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: make cut ups for the starter and the different role.

277
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: It's not what you imagined or grew up dreaming about.

278
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: You know. I don't think anybody's like, yeah, I want

279
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: to be a backup quarterback in the NFL. But it

280
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's a solid gig and you're one play

281
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: with pays Well, you're not taking any hits, right, I

282
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: mean you're ter. Yeah it sounds good, you know, but

283
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: it's just but you know, listen, I was at f

284
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: s one. I was on a show daily, then I wasn't,

285
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: And you're like coming off the bench filling in, and

286
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: it feels great when you fill in, but when you're not,

287
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: you're just like, what am I? You know, it's weird

288
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: what's going on. It's just a weird feeling. I can't

289
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: imagine you. You were a starter all in high school,

290
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: you know usc uh, first round pick, top ten guy,

291
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: jets success and then yeah, the Dak Prescott thing. Did

292
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: you by the way, did you ever see Dak Prescott

293
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: becoming this dude from his rookie year? Well, I thought

294
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: I thought he was going to be a stud because

295
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: of the way he worked at it. And we had

296
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: a conversation early when I got there. I had the

297
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: same conversation with Mitch. But I basically said to those

298
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: guys like, dude, I know what you're going through. I

299
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: am happy to help you. I've made plenty of mistakes

300
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: that you can learn from without making some of those mistakes. Uh,

301
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: there's some things that I did really well that I

302
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: can help you with as well. I know footwork, I

303
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: know mechanics, like I'll help you learn this play. But

304
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: whatever you need for me, I'll help you. But if

305
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: you want me to help you, I'm gonna tell you everything,

306
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: Like everything I see good, bad, ugly. If your footwork sucks,

307
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: if your demeanor sucks, if you know I need to

308
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: pull you aside and whatever, I'm going to do that.

309
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: At any point you can just tell me to shut

310
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: the hell up and leave you alone, and no problem.

311
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: You're not going to hurt my feelings. You're not gonna

312
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: make it cry like it's all good, totally professional, we're good.

313
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: But if you want me to help, I'm gonna help,

314
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna do it my way, and i'm gonna

315
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: tell you. And Doc was like all in, Mitch, all

316
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: in there, like bro, just give me whatever you got.

317
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: And so did you ever deal with someone who wasn't

318
00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: all in? Um M, what were you with Gino Smith

319
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: in New York? Well, Gino, but I wasn't helping Gino,

320
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I was still the starter

321
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: and then I got hurt and then he started playing

322
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: and then I was out of that. So I never

323
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: really had that kind of relationship, you know. Um And yeah,

324
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: the other guys that I've been around have been awesome, man,

325
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: just total first class dudes and I mean I would.

326
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: I would walk up to deck like during just some practices,

327
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: you know, just they like ooze and they suck and

328
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: they're slow and it's hot and everybody's tired and it's

329
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: training camp whatever, and so I just go pull him aside,

330
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,959
Speaker 1: you know, kind of quietly, Hey, pick this ship up

331
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: for let's go. You're the man. Let's go get these

332
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: guys going. Man, give me some juice baking. If you

333
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: have to go win an oscar, let's go. You know,

334
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: just gas them up a little bit. Um when we're

335
00:17:55,840 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: watching tape, you know, I would do silly um you know,

336
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 1: I do like a Grooden impression, or I do uh,

337
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, just silly voices or whatever, talking about coverages

338
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: and stuff, just to lighten it up, keep it interesting

339
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: because you go through so many clips and it's after

340
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: practice and guys get tired and stuff, and so you

341
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: just remind guys, hey, uh, you know you say that

342
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: down in distance, You tell me the formation, you tell

343
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: me personnel every clip, just to keep everybody involved, whatever

344
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: it takes, you know, because those were tactics that were

345
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: used with me when I had Brunelle. Kevin O'Connell Schottenheimer

346
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: you know, are our quarterback coach? Um, oh my god,

347
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: uh jeez, Louise former player, because you you know, Schottenheimer

348
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 1: was like the number one enemy of all Jets fans, like,

349
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: we we have the worst offense. What is this guy

350
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: doing out here? They did, They didn't understand that. I mean, yeah,

351
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: like it wasn't perfect, but listen, I don't care who

352
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: predictable was was the word. Um. But I don't want

353
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: to talk about san But let me go back to

354
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: Dallas real quick. Were you there when Romo got hurt?

355
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: I was talking about Kaviano by the way, But yes,

356
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: so that was so weird, right because Tony gets hurt.

357
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: That's why I went there because I was in Denver.

358
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: Then I got released from Denver and sent to Dallas.

359
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: So um, yeah, it was totally what That whole year

360
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: was totally wild because Tony was like getting ready to

361
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: try and come back, and we'd run like scripted plays

362
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: for Tony in practice while back was on like a

363
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: thirteen game win streak like it was. It was really well,

364
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: it was a really strange situation. I've never seen anything

365
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 1: like that. Um. And part of the part of the

366
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: deal was I was there to help Dak you know,

367
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: and get him ready to play. So it made my

368
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: relationship with Tony like we've always been cool, but it

369
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 1: was kind of weird, you know, because I'm helping the

370
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: guy who's like replacing it, you know, but those are

371
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 1: my marching orders kind of thing, like what am I

372
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: gonna do? So it was it was definitely unique year.

373
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, Tony came in at the end

374
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: of the year, like through a touchdown pass at the

375
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 1: end of the year, and and that was kind of it.

376
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: But I think there were there were some rumble rumblings

377
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: in the building, like Tony was going to come back

378
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: and play, and I'm like, you can't take this kid

379
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: off the field. He just ripped off all these wins

380
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: in a row. What are we doing, you know? And

381
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: so it was it was that was a wild year.

386
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: to the current Jets season and I don't know, you're

387
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: not are you calling the Jets game this week? Or no? No, no, no, okay? Good? Um,

388
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: So the Zach Wilson stuff. Obvious slee you're getting comparted.

389
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure Jets Bears. Yeah, there's still no word on

390
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: Justin fields. But every the line is telling you he's

391
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: not gonna play. But the Zach Wilson stuff, Um, I

392
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 1: don't know, man. I compared this Jets team too when

393
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: you were a rookie and it was like except the

394
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: old line when you had was incredible. Now it's a

395
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 1: beat up, but the defense is awesome. And Zach Wilson

396
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: totally vomits all over himself and then says, no, he

397
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: didn't let the defense down. I don't know, man, did

398
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: anybody ask you to reach out to Zach Wilson and

399
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: be like, yo, Zach, hey was a former. The media,

400
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: the media is coming after Mark. Well, it's when you're

401
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: the quarterback. That's the way it goes, right, And the

402
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: first thing you do is just get ahead of it.

403
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: You go out there and you stick up the joint

404
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: and play bad. They're going to write that you played bad, Okay,

405
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: played poorly, like threw five interception, whatever it is like,

406
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: they have to write about it. Just like when you

407
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: play well, they write that too. So you might as

408
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 1: well just get ahead of it and just say, you know,

409
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: we gotta get better, and it starts with me. That's

410
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: all he had to do was just own it immediately.

411
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean, it's nobody wants to stand up

412
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: there and take bullets like that, but that's just what

413
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: you do. That's part of your job description of being

414
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Whether the guy ran the wrong round or whatever,

415
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: you protect those guys and you protect those relationships because

416
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: guys realize that they see it, just like they're watching

417
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: him now and it's like, I don't know, I don't

418
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: know if that's really it or if that's the guy

419
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: we want because he didn't own it, and um, then

420
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 1: you get the question. You know, it's kind of a

421
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: cheap ask question, well did you let the defense? He

422
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 1: wouldn't have got the crappy question if he would have

423
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,719
Speaker 1: just given the good answer at the beginning and just said, hey,

424
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: I gotta be better and we'll get it figured out

425
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: this week. But it starts with me, and he's done

426
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: with that, and then you know, you answer questions about

427
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: the game whatever. But the way it all went down,

428
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: it just looked insecure and childish, and what do you think?

429
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: What do you think it says about him too immature

430
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: to be a quarterback in the NFL. Well, I mean, listen,

431
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: there are times when you know, I wanted to say

432
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: a lot of other things and I never did, um,

433
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 1: because that's just not what you do. You gotta kind

434
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: of you're just falling the sword, dude. I don't know.

435
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: It's it's a weird it's a weird deal, and that's, unfortunately,

436
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: you know, one of the tough parts about the position.

437
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of really cool things that

438
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: come with the position. That's definitely not one of them.

439
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: And being the face of the franchise must be fun,

440
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: right you were doing you get to do a lot

441
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: of cool stuff. So if you're ever going to complain, like,

442
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: then take away the fun stuff too. You know, it's

443
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: not fair, um to complain about one, you know, bad

444
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: part or bad attribute to in the quarterback. So I'm

445
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: Woody Johnson, billionaire owner of the Jets, and you know

446
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: we've had trouble getting a quarterback since you left. I mean,

447
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: we tried Fitzpatrick, Sam Donald, Zach Wilson, I'm sure there

448
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: was some other guys that it doesn't really matter. So

449
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: I call you up and say Mark, Hey, you know

450
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: a lot about being quarterback. You're calling games, you're crushing it.

451
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: If I have the chance to go get Derek Carr

452
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: or Jimmy Garoppolo, which one do you think I should

453
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: go after for the Jets offense? Because if Jimmy g

454
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: is going to be a free agent now, if he

455
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: goes to the Super Bowl, it'll be very interesting to

456
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: see what San Fred does. But Car they have an

457
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: out on No, no, this is real. They have an

458
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: out with Car where it's not a big cap hit

459
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: and then Josh McDaniels can play his whole. I mean,

460
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: just I just need to get my own quarterback in here,

461
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: run this the offense. Right. What do you tell if

462
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 1: I had to pick between those two, I don't know

463
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: that there's another guy out there that's interesting. I mean

464
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: maybe Ryan Tannehill. It's the market. But I would take

465
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 1: either of those two over Dannahil. Maybe you would disagree.

466
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 1: I mean, the three of them are all similar in

467
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: a lot of ways, Um that they're so hard to

468
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 1: to evaluate because of their different circumstances and trying to

469
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: fit them into this offense. Like Jimmy g Um, I mean,

470
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: he's in an offense where they know how to run

471
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: the rock, you know, so he's gonna get you in

472
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: the right run calls. For sure. It's a wordy offense.

473
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: You know a lot of long play calls and stuff.

474
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: So I may know he can handle it mentally, and

475
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: the floor knows him from San Francisco. Yeah, I mean

476
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: that could be. That's what you want, right, the most

477
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: familiarity you can that the consistency, you know, the same staff,

478
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: the same room, keep guys together, so it keeps growing

479
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 1: and keeps bill think um and so any kind of

480
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: you know, familiarity like that, I think I think that

481
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: would be good for somebody like Tivy G. I'd probably

482
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: go with him, to be honest, I think I think

483
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: he gets, you know, un unfair shake on some of

484
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: this stuff. You know, he lost the Super Bowl, but

485
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: he played alright other than like two throws in that game,

486
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: like he had don't forget he had him outain front

487
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: like yeah play. Well, so do you think he could

488
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: handle New York because the media spotlight that guy. We

489
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: know allegedly he was like, you know, hanging out with

490
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: an adult film star and like, I don't know if

491
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: he's he's a single guy. You know, Yeah, I don't know.

492
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: He's gonna he's gonna enjoy New York City as I'm

493
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: sure you did and donald it. Yeah, that would be

494
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: interesting and give us some good some good stories though,

495
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, exactly. Now you're not getting that with

496
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 1: Derek car Derek Carr family guy. Religious, he's not going out,

497
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: but he has for fewer playoff wins than you do. Yeah,

498
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 1: I don't know whatever that's worth quarterback wins. I don't.

499
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: People hate that stat. But Jimmy g Q baby, Yeah,

500
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: I mean that that's gonna be It's it's good for

501
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: New York. But you know, you even said this to me,

502
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: Like the Jets have tried with the young guys, they've tried.

503
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 1: It's time with this defense to get a veteran in

504
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: there who can get them into the playoffs, right, get

505
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: him in the tournament, you get him in there. They

506
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: don't have a franchise quarterback. Like, honestly, is Derek Carr

507
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: that much worse than like Kirk Cousins. Is Jimmy g

508
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: worse than Kirk Cousins. They're in the same ballpark right game,

509
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: he's playing them. Well, but that's the other thing too.

510
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: It's like look at those rosters. Are they the same

511
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: rosters as the Jets right now? Now the Jets have

512
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 1: gotten a lot better, but you need Breese hallback, you

513
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 1: need that offensive linebacker. I mean they're down players and

514
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks not playing well. I mean that's like the

515
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: worst combination you can get. Even if the quarterback plays decent,

516
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: but you're down players, You're still going to get boat raced.

517
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: Like it's hard when your roster doesn't match up like that. So, um,

518
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna need more weapons and getting guys healthy, whoever

519
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 1: it is, whoever the trigger man is, they need. They

520
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: need some weapons. Now. If you remember when you were

521
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: a young guy with the Jets, they brought in I

522
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: think Braylon Edwards early, yeah, and then they brought in

523
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: Tone the next year, the next year yeah, So then

524
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: it was Cautry, Santonio, Braylon, Dustin Keller, Ladanian, Thomlinson, and

525
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: Sean Green soon. Yeah. Like I'd take that roster any day,

526
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And those were my best

527
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: couple of years. That that was my best production because

528
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: you get good players. You know. It's like, you know,

529
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: I don't agree with a lot of it takes where

530
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: people are like, oh it sucks. Well, hold on, now,

531
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: who's he playing with? Put him on another team. I

532
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: don't know if he sucks that bad. I think he's

533
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: just fine. You know, it's not funny, but uh to

534
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: struggled Brian Flores. He didn't a great example, and they

535
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: bring in Tyreek Hill. Now, the Jets were finalists allegedly

536
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: for Tyreek Hill. I think Rosenhouse's agent just steered him

537
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: to Miami. The taxes and all that fun stuff. But

538
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: what does Zach Wilson look like with Tyreek Hill? Yeah

539
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: in Miami right now? Yeah? And j Waddle like, okay,

540
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: you know those guys have what I saw us that

541
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: today Jalen Wattt has got almost nine hundred received rs

542
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: and and Tyree Hills like something. I mean, those guys

543
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: are bowling. So he's also got a guy dialing him

544
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:48,959
Speaker 1: up on UM as a head coach and coordinator. So

545
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: do you know that guy at all? McDaniel, I don't.

546
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: He seems awesome though, and he's you know, from that

547
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: shannonhan tree. But so they got that the whole zone

548
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: run game attack, the outside zone attack and all that.

549
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: But they have plenty of gap trapping man stuff that

550
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: they use, and I mean the similar stuf break football.

551
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: Are they just running similar stuff, just not as explosive

552
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: because they don't have the guys to get open that quickly. Yeah,

553
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: And they're they've just been very conservative the last few weeks,

554
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: you know, like they're they're only throwing it like twenty sometimes,

555
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: you know, low twenties. It's like the ceiling for them

556
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: right now because they just don't want to air it

557
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: out like that and potentially lose the ball. They'd rather

558
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: run it three times in a row and waste more

559
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: clock and shorten the game and let the defense don't

560
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: make place and try and win with defense and special

561
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: teams and all that. And that kind of backfired last

562
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: week with the tone return. But although there were a

563
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: couple of blocks in the back. Now, yes, but let's

564
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: remember the Jets are on there from from the week

565
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: one projected starting offensive line. They're on their backup or

566
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: third string left tackle, and Brown they're on their backup

567
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: right tackle in a Buoy who I don't even think

568
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: was there on the team at the beginning of the season.

569
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: Um So, so he's down his top two tackles. Miami

570
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: went and spent on Armstead from New Orleans. He struggled early,

571
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: but he seems to be doing great now. It's just like,

572
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: and I'm not giving close. In the past he's been bad,

573
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: but the circumstance, I mean, loses Corey Davis. He was

574
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: I think, you know, their number one receiver coming into

575
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: Yead that was huge. That the injuries just crippled this team,

576
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: and I mean it makes it tough. And then when

577
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: you try and do too much and try and win

578
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: it all in one play like Zach has done this year,

579
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: then it goes even farther south, you know, and then

580
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: it becomes his fault. You know, two people when it's

581
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: already a bad situation, if you're making it worse, you know,

582
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: let me just ask you about two games this week

583
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: real quick, and we can wrap up. Bengals at Titans.

584
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if either of these teams are very good,

585
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: but as a Jets fan, I have to big time

586
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: for the Titans because the Bengal schedules brutal and they

587
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: could easily fall off a cliff like. The schedule is

588
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: very difficult. I think the rated number one toughest schedule

589
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: rest of the way, and they dropped some early ones

590
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: that they needed, you know. Plus just look at the

591
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: quarterbacks they are about to play right Like, they played

592
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: a bunch of backup guys early on in the season

593
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: and lost a couple of those games. They're gonna have

594
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: to play DeShawn Watson later on with the Browns, They're

595
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: gonna have to play like Brady and Mahome. You know,

596
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: their schedules just brutal. So the other thing too, about Tennessee,

597
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: we did their Week one game. Their seasons kind of

598
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: starts off the way they're running. Game starts every game

599
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: like a couple of yards here and there, a couple

600
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: of yards here, and they're pretty soon those three four

601
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: yard games turned into six, seven, eight nine, boom. And

602
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: then there goes there Henry and he blows the doors off,

603
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: you know, and his average goes from like a couple

604
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: couple of yards to carry to like explode because he

605
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: has a seventy five yard run or whatever. So that's

606
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: they're like a they're like a late in the year

607
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: kind of blooming team. And they're just a physical group, man,

608
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: really physical group. I think that defense, I mean, Rabel

609
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: is awesome. I really I really loved watching their practice.

610
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: I loved just seeing his his whole outfit. Man, he

611
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: I think he does a really good job. I'm curious

612
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: any coaches shutder you from going to practice. I know

613
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: when you call games, usually you go to the team's practice,

614
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: any team and be like, oh, yeah, you can't be here, dude, No, um,

615
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: they don't. I mean you're allowed to go to one,

616
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: you know, and you go on Friday's. Some teams are

617
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: a little weird about like you going to walk through

618
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: because they don't want you know, like if I won't

619
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: know the system necessarily, but I have a pretty good

620
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: idea what they're talking about and what they're trying to do,

621
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: so you know, some teams are just like they don't

622
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: want you hearing all that. But I mean I would

623
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: never like put that out or telling us the team,

624
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: you know, just put your job at risk, like it's silly,

625
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: and uh, I want it more for just so I

626
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: can frame the game, so I have an idea of

627
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: how each team is going to attack each other, and

628
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: then I kind of give a good perspective to the audience,

629
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: like they're doing this because you know, give the the

630
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: how and the y, not just the who and the

631
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: what during the game is kind of the goal so, um,

632
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: most teams are cool, though, uh we'll wrap up Chargers Cardinals.

633
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: It kind of sort of feels like two coaches who

634
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: are I don't know if flailing is the right word.

635
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: And you never want to try to fire somebody, but

636
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: Staley is on the struggle bus and Cliff Kingsbury four

637
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: and seven. Now he doesn't have Kyler Murray all the time.

638
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: But after going to the playoffs, Cardinals, you know, I

639
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: mean they win like five or six games. I don't

640
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 1: know what they do at head coach. I know he

641
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: just got a new deal. And the Chargers. We know

642
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 1: that there's a long line of coaches lining up. Yeah.

643
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: So I don't mean they think of these two teams.

644
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 1: I mean they had the Chiefs on the road. They

645
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs earlier in the year, right, I think

646
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: they lost Herbert threw the pick six and they lost.

647
00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: That's right, Okay, So and both games were like down

648
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: to the wire, you know, and they just kind of

649
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: falling on that negative side of it in a bunch

650
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 1: of these close games. Um. You know, they squeaked on

651
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: out in Cleveland early in the year when they went

652
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: for it. Um, and you know, they're awfully aggressive with

653
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: the fourth down stuff. But gosh, yeah, I don't know

654
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: if they got to go on a serious run. But

655
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: once again, it's the injuries. Look at Keenan Allen has

656
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: been out. This is the first year that Herbert hasn't

657
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: had like his guys consistently and they're dealing with some

658
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: some major injuries. Um up front with their line. Yeah, yeah,

659
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,879
Speaker 1: both at the beginning of the year like that, when

660
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: that crushes your team and when you lose that kind

661
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: of production and you gotta plug and play. Like it's

662
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: one thing if one superstar goes down, you know, and

663
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: everybody's got to kind of tighten up and figure it

664
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,479
Speaker 1: out and do some patchwork and put some different guys

665
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,720
Speaker 1: in there, find the combination that works. If it's offensive

666
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: wind or whatever, shuffle some guys around, but when it's

667
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,399
Speaker 1: multiple guys at different position groups, I mean, it makes

668
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: it almost impossible to find any kind of rhythm. Yeah.

669
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: When you look at the healthiest teams, the Vikings are

670
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: one of the healthiest or had been. Um, they're just

671
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: you know, having a great season. Eight Chiefs have been

672
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 1: incredibly healthy, Eagles very healthy. When you're healthy, you're gonna

673
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: do well. Now the Jaguars are the weird one. They've

674
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: lost a bunch of close games. And then, of course

675
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: the the healthiest or the teams that have the most

676
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: injuries Denver Broncos, most guys on I R. Chargers, Saints.

677
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 1: I don't realize how bad the Saints were. My goodness,

678
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: it's like an infirmary down there. Yeah, I had the

679
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: team that's way off. But all right, Mark, here we go. Uh,

680
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: it's Thanksgiving week. Um, let me hear your NFC and

681
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: a f C championship game projections A lot to sort through,

682
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: but I mean, you see, by eleven weeks, we've got

683
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: a good sample size of of what's out there right now.

684
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: Vikings Eagles, Wow, No Cowboys, Niners huh Frankee's Niners, Vikings Cowboys.

685
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 1: I like the Vikings, you do, I do? I know

686
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,879
Speaker 1: they got smacked last week. And everybody lays an egg

687
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: every year, right other than the well, the Patriots kind

688
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: of lay an egg in the Super Bowl when they

689
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: went undefeated. But but Tampa Bay, I don't know if

690
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,439
Speaker 1: they got the power to do it. Man, there, they're

691
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: a little banged up. Okay, Vikings a f C AFC.

692
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't you can't say anything without the Chiefs. Yeah, Bills, Chiefs,

693
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: Bills again, don't do anybody pulling like a Bengals from

694
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 1: last year. You know, there'll be one, there'll be a

695
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: dark horse in there. Somebody's gonna somebody's gonna you know

696
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: who else is gonna be a tough out. I think

697
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:57,919
Speaker 1: Seattle is gonna be a tough out. Really. Yeah, they're

698
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: gonna Jackson teams up. Watch they'll they'll see NQUE in

699
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs and they'll steal a win or they'll they'll

700
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: find a way to get like a home game, you know,

701
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: and that would be massive to have that kind of crowd.

702
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: And yeah, that'd be uh, that'd be a big one.

703
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think the Titans too. I think in

704
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: the FC can can do some damage. That's just a tough,

705
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: physical group. They'll they'll beat you up. Say that for

706
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: your guy, Pete Carroll obviously. No, I just think I

707
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 1: think they're playing all right, you know, I do you

708
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: know Smith is playing out of his mind. You know.

709
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: In the first couple of weeks, I was kind of

710
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: waiting for him to come back down to earth. And

711
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: then once I saw it at their practice and stuff,

712
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I got it, and I understand

713
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: why he's doing what he's doing. And he's focus, he's

714
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: dialed in, he's hungry, he's finally getting a shot. So

715
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: that's cool. Yeah. Mark Sanchez former Jets legend. Um I

716
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,280
Speaker 1: could say legend. I mean, come on, dude, it's it's

717
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: thin you were who seriously, who is the Who was

718
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 1: the best Jets quarterback over the last thirty five years?

719
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 1: Ken O'Brien, Chad Pennington, Mark Sanchez? Who am I missing

720
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: Brett far for nine games? Chad? Chad is a beast.

721
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: I don't think he gets Testaverdy had small small They

722
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 1: got to an n FC Championship game with him on

723
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,439
Speaker 1: the door. They didn't do it back to back years

733
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: really good guy and a really good quarter back for

734
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: two straight years with the Jets. Um we started to

735
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: look at games. I figured the easiest way to do this. Listen,

736
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: picking games on a Wednesday morning for Sunday is very difficult.

737
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,479
Speaker 1: I have made some bets for the weekend. I'll reveal those.

738
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: Let's before we do the NFL. I have bet Ohio

739
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: State minus seven and a half, probably the wrong side.

740
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: It's a big number rivalry game. Blah blah blah. Just

741
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:29,760
Speaker 1: remember Michigan had I think three guys who were drafted

742
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: in the top forty five on their defense alone. Last year,

743
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: their defense was incredible. The ground gate eight up Ohio State.

744
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: They won at home in the snow. Three years before that,

745
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: Ohio State wiped the floor with him pretty much. Two

746
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 1: years they blew him out of the water, and then

747
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: the other year I think they won by eleven. I

748
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 1: think we get back to a little Ohio State ownership.

749
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: If Blake Coreham does not play and it's all intense,

750
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: are he's not going to play. Everything that I've read

751
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: is it's no go um My read is Ohio State

752
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: by anywhere from routeen to seventeen. I know it's a

753
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: rivalry game, but this game has been circled on the

754
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 1: calendar for a year for the Buckeyes. I I think

755
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: Ohio State delivers here. I have met them USC, and uh,

756
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: Notre Dame is a much tougher game to handicap. I

757
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: am genuinely concerned for USC. This was a huge win

758
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 1: for them over U c. L A. A lot of

759
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,240
Speaker 1: energy was spent. You heard a lot of jaw jacking

760
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: all week after the game. They're being celebrated. USC controls

761
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: their own destiny. I listened. There's a lot of pressure

762
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: on USC. They are at home and the number, curiously,

763
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: I think I saw five. Let me just double check

764
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,280
Speaker 1: to see what it is as we're recording now. UM,

765
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: USC currently a uh what on earth? Oh? Okay, five

766
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: and a half line five and a half USC favored

767
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 1: Notre Dame has been playing well. Obviously there's a big

768
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:01,359
Speaker 1: step up in class offensive wise, UM. But I don't

769
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: know what to expect for the Irish, And I'm worried

770
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: that USC has been reading all the clippings. They've got

771
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving break tossed in there, and it's like we're

772
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: the Kings of the town. We got back at U

773
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: c l A. There's a lot of business left to

774
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: be done for USC, Like if they lose this game,

775
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: what happened to the pack towel does not matter. They're

776
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 1: not going to the playoffs. Gotta beat Notre Dame. Can

777
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: they deliver? I would bet USC money line, but that's

778
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 1: not gonna pay anything. Um, you have to lay a

779
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: lot of money and then us he could lose, so

780
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,240
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I wouldn't give that out as a bet.

781
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: You can't really tease USC here, You're not. What are

782
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: you teasing through three and four across zero? That does nothing?

783
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, folks, I just should you just want

784
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: to bet the over like you did last week with

785
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: USC and U c l A. The numbers going up

786
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: sixty two and a half to sixty four and a half.

787
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: Notre Dame will be able to move the ball on

788
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: the ground too, but U c l A did that

789
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 1: as well. I just it's gonna be tough for callab

790
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: Williams to be that impressive of back to back. We

791
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: had five yards of offense against the top fifteen team.

792
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: What can he do for an encore pressures on? Everybody's

793
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 1: talking about him in the draft next year, going number one.

794
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: It's just a tough spot. The spot screams Notre Dame.

795
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 1: But I can't bet the Irish here. I mean, I guess,

796
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 1: like you know what, I think. I just talked myself

797
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 1: into the Irish. Take the points, take the five and

798
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: a half. USC wins a close one. I mean they

799
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 1: want a close one against u C. L A. They

800
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 1: lost a very close one against Utah, and if they're

801
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 1: not favored by a ton, they're winning close games. So

802
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. I guess I'll take Notre Dame taken

803
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 1: five and a half, and I'll go with the over

804
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: sixty four and a half. Um, let's get to NFL.

805
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:42,479
Speaker 1: I'll quickly run through the Thanksgiving games. I have bet

806
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: two of them. I already am regretting one of them

807
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,919
Speaker 1: because I didn't totally realize at the time that kirk

808
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,760
Speaker 1: Cousins is in prime time. And I said on yesterday's podcast,

809
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 1: like Minnesota two and a half, Yes, there is some

810
00:43:53,400 --> 00:44:00,800
Speaker 1: juice involved, but it's Bill Belichick against her in the

811
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: Patriots lead the league in pressure rate. Okay, Number one.

812
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins is coming off an abysial performance against Dallas, which, oh,

813
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: by the way, top three in pressure rate. Okay, no

814
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 1: left tackle for Minnesota. I just keep leaning on this

815
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: teams according to Fox I and I asked this specifically.

816
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 1: The cool thing about this job at Fox, guys is

817
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: we've got a great gambling team stats guys. I could

818
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: ask them anything. Here was my question. If you go

819
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: back ten No, I'm sorry, wrong one. Teams that lose

820
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: by thirty plus at home, how do they do the

821
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: next week? And I said ten to twenty season sample size? Uh,

822
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: the guy rates back over the last twenty seasons, teams

823
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,840
Speaker 1: that lose by thirty five points or more regardless of

824
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: it was homer away seventy two, forty two and five

825
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: against the spread. Additionally, those teams went forty eight, twenty

826
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 1: four and four a t s in games taking place

827
00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: in November or later. So bouncing back late in the

828
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 1: season is a gimme. No, I mean that was sorry,

829
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: not a gimme, but it's it's a favorable look for us. Now.

830
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,240
Speaker 1: The other thing that I don't like about this against

831
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 1: my bet is, remember I talked about it last week.

832
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: Teams that did not cover last week first teams that did.

833
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: That's where you can find the biggest change in point spread.

834
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 1: Before Minnesota was throttled, they were three and a half

835
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 1: point favorites. Now they're two and a half, so the

836
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:29,760
Speaker 1: number adjusted doubt. I'm sorry. I'm on Minnesota here. Obviously.

837
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: You guys know I do not like the Patriots. I

838
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,399
Speaker 1: think I've got to take the Giants and I don't

839
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: want to. Every bone in my body says avoid the

840
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 1: Giants here. Did you guys see the injuries, the wide receiver.

841
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're gonna do legitimately, the pay

842
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: the Cowboys will stack the box and dare Vanilla vick

843
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,800
Speaker 1: A ka Danny Dimes, well that's his real name, to

844
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: pass and beat them and they have no receivers. It

845
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,280
Speaker 1: sounds like the tight end who broke his ice hocket.

846
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 1: You remember that a couple of I think it was

847
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:57,280
Speaker 1: a Jacksonville game guy as I poked, it was ugly.

848
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 1: It sounds like he won't be back for this one. Somehow,

849
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,879
Speaker 1: the totals going up. But listen to this last week

850
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: to spread for this game six and a half. Then

851
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 1: Dallas wins in a late I think it was in

852
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:13,399
Speaker 1: the afternoon window thirty three, clabbering me eight and one

853
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 1: Vikings and the line's down nine and a half. I think,

854
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: on principle, you've got to take the Giants, but I

855
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 1: would say, wait, maybe you'll see a ten because there's

856
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: nobody's been in the Giants here. Nobody is. Everybody and

857
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 1: her mom is gonna have a Dallas ticket while they're

858
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 1: sitting there eating the turkey and the stuffing and the yams,

859
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be like, oh, let's go Cowboys. Tony Pollard. Yeah.

860
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 1: So I mean, listen, I can't find an edge for

861
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 1: the Giants other than they didn't cover last week. They

862
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 1: looked awful. Dallas looked incredible. Fade what you just saw.

863
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: Take the Giants, um Buffalo Detroit. I have no action,

864
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: but just because it's right after the Macy's Day parade.

865
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if World Cup is on at the

866
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: same time, but it's gonna be a wild morning Thursday.

867
00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 1: That's folk show. I would lean fellow, but nine and

868
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: a half that probably nothing for me. So then we

869
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:07,399
Speaker 1: get to Sunday and here's what I have so far,

870
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: and you're gonna hate it. Two double digit favorites Miami

871
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: minus twelve, Kse minus fourteen and a half. I mean,

872
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 1: can the Texans bounce back? They are on the list

873
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:21,800
Speaker 1: of teams that did not cover. But guess what Miami

874
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,320
Speaker 1: was gonna buy? So that game is eliminated. K C

875
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 1: did not cover last week. They bounced back. Now let's

876
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: look at what the what the adjustment was for the

877
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 1: Kansas City game. It was ten, it's now fourteen and

878
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 1: a half. Now there's some some new things. Matt Stafford concussion,

879
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: unlikely to play obviously, no Cooper Cup, can Bryce Perkins

880
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: or I don't know if Wolford's coming back, whoever the

881
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:48,799
Speaker 1: quarterback is for the Rams? Can they do anything in

882
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 1: this spot outdoors? Arrowhead season's over? You know, I know

883
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 1: it's a big number, but do you really want to

884
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 1: be saying, come on, brace Perkins, you can do it.

885
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:05,799
Speaker 1: And then he's throwing to like Ben Scarronic, I mean yeah,

886
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: Kansas City probably just says, I don't really care about

887
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: this game. We're gonna steamroll you. And they come out

888
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: to a twenty one nothing lead, and then there's some

889
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 1: dicey moments where the Rams are like, maybe gonna come

890
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,479
Speaker 1: in the back door because again the fourteen and a half,

891
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: you gotta win by I mean that's a lot of points.

892
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 1: And I always like to look at this. Who's on

893
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 1: deck after the Rams? Oh, Kansas City has to go

894
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati for a rematch of the a f C

895
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 1: Title Game. What game do you think they're thinking more

896
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 1: about the Super Bowl Chumps who are done this season

897
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,800
Speaker 1: with their backup quarterback and no Cooper Cup or next

898
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,919
Speaker 1: week's game against Joe Burrow in Cincinnati against the team

899
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: that beat him in the a f C Title Game.

900
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 1: It's a risky bet, guys. I'm doing it anyway. Kansas

901
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:57,360
Speaker 1: City minus fourteen and a half, Miami minus twelve against Houston.

902
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: I've seen nothing in Houston. There's actually only rumors, believe

903
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 1: it or not, that Davis Mills may not get the start,

904
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: and it could be either love you, Smith's gonna change

905
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 1: up the quarterback or he Davis Mills would be on

906
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 1: a short hook. Now it looks like I'm looking at

907
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:16,360
Speaker 1: the depth chart here. Fun fact, can you name the

908
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:19,760
Speaker 1: backup quarterback of the Houston Texans. Hint he played for Washington.

909
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 1: Hint he played for Carolina. Kyle Allen. I honestly did

910
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: not know he was still in the league. He is

911
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 1: the back up to Davis Mills. He's only twenty six.

912
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 1: He played sparingly for Washington last year and in but

913
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,319
Speaker 1: really twenty nineteen was the year he had a couple

914
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: of really good games with Carolina. Then reality hit and

915
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 1: he got eaten up. Listen, I can't take I can't

916
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 1: take Houston here at all. I'm sure they'll show up

917
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 1: in Miami's gonna be like, ah, whatever, this game means

918
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 1: nothing to us. And again, this is the part of

919
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 1: the calendar when the playoffs are talked about legitimately and

920
00:49:55,520 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 1: teams maybe are looking ahead. After Houston, Mike McDaniel has

921
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,359
Speaker 1: his toughest stretch as a head coach, the toughest tour

922
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:07,360
Speaker 1: will ever face so far in his career. You travel

923
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:09,879
Speaker 1: to San Franz, one of the four or five best

924
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,880
Speaker 1: teams in the league. You stay on the West Coast,

925
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 1: presumably for the Chargers, then you travel back to Orchard

926
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: Park for Buffalo, where it's probably gonna be twelve degrees. Folks,

927
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: it would not surprise me if Miami came out flat,

928
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 1: did not look good against Houston. Now, I know that's

929
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 1: borderline impossible because Houston is so bad, but when you're

930
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:33,239
Speaker 1: talking about twelve points spread all it takes his one

931
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: flukey Brandon Cook's touchdown a to a fumble, and then

932
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you're like, oh jeez, well, now

933
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,400
Speaker 1: Miami's gotta score a ton of points. Too bad. I

934
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: laid it Tampa minus three. That's an obvious one. I

935
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 1: don't really like Cleveland. This number started to tick up.

936
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:51,760
Speaker 1: Looks like it's three and a half elsewhere in the market.

937
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 1: So I mean, if you could find the three great

938
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 1: even to three with juice, mine has juice, but three

939
00:50:58,200 --> 00:50:59,879
Speaker 1: and a half, you know you don't like to lay

940
00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: that on the road. I just I'm not a huge

941
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 1: fan of the Cleveland Browns what I've seen Foolishly, I

942
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 1: had them two weeks ago um in Miami, and that

943
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 1: was the last straw for me. I'm done with them.

944
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 1: Maybe Buenda Shawn comes back, it'll get interesting. Cincinnati Tennessee.

945
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna lay it with Tennessee here. That

946
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 1: would be my only play again. Bengals huge rivalry game

947
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 1: last week against Pittsburgh Kansas City at home. Next this

948
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 1: match against Tennessee is I mean, it's kind of a

949
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 1: forgotten game. Now, remember last year in the playoff meeting

950
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 1: Tennessee largely dominated Joe Burrow in the Bengals and still lost.

951
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 1: If you remember, I think that was the game where

952
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:43,399
Speaker 1: um Burrow was sacked something like nine times and they

953
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 1: needed like a last second field goal from the kicker McPherson. Yes,

954
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: that is exactly what happened nineteen sixteen Tennessee sec. Bro Yes,

955
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 1: nine times Burrow had to pick But Tannehill was legitimately awful,

956
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 1: three interceptions out of twenty four passes. He was atrocious. A. J.

957
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,719
Speaker 1: Brown had a monster game, as did Jamaar Chase, but

958
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,959
Speaker 1: ultimately this came down to Tannehill interceptions and a late

959
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 1: field goal for the Bengals. But Derrick Henry not a

960
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: great game, only sixty two yards. Deonta Foreman who's now starring, starring,

961
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 1: he's now in Carolina as the starter. Uh, he had

962
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 1: a big game, so they were able to run the football. Well.

963
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 1: I think Tennessee wins this game outright, So I will

964
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 1: be backing Tennessee, probably on the money line and getting

965
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:31,360
Speaker 1: the points. I think that's going to be one of

966
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 1: the five that make my card. Uh In in the contest,

967
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna touch Jets Bears the lines. Was it

968
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:41,799
Speaker 1: six because they thought Justin Fields may not play. Now

969
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:44,359
Speaker 1: it's looking like, oh well maybe Zach Wilson's not the starter,

970
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:49,399
Speaker 1: and you're looking at Trevor Simeon against Mike White, who

971
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:52,919
Speaker 1: knows um Chargers Arizona. I kind of want to take

972
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:55,399
Speaker 1: the Chargers here, but this has gone up from two

973
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 1: and a half to four and a half. Arizona coming

974
00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 1: back from Mexico. They've got the internal this array. So

975
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 1: you guys saw this Eno Benjamin, it was like the

976
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:06,359
Speaker 1: starting running back for two or three weeks when James

977
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 1: Conner was out I remember on my fantasy team, and

978
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden last weekday outright cut him.

979
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 1: It's a backup running back cut him, and I couldn't

980
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 1: find an exact reason. Apparently something went down between him

981
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:22,479
Speaker 1: and a position coach. Mhmm, what happens in Mexico City, Well,

982
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 1: a position coach. I think the same guy who got

983
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 1: into it with you know, Benjamin had an incident in

984
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 1: Mexico and was sent home and then subsequently fired. Cliff

985
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 1: Kingsbury staff is melting down, guys. I don't know what's

986
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 1: going on there. I like the Chargers going to Arizona

987
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 1: getting the win. Four and a half is not a

988
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: great number, but I would probably lean that way or nothing.

989
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 1: I'm looking at San Francisco as they're starting to peak,

990
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 1: but that number is at nine. Come nine points, we'll see.

991
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:55,359
Speaker 1: I don't like anything I've seen from the Saints lately.

992
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 1: And then that went over the rams of Fugazi and

993
00:53:57,920 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 1: it was nothing. Look what they did and in Pittsburgh

994
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:04,360
Speaker 1: ten points outdoors, couldn't do it, couldn't move the football. UM,

995
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: I guess that that's pretty much what I'm looking at

996
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 1: for the weekend. Um. I'll be honest. I haven't bet

997
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 1: England US soccer yet. I really want to, but guys,

998
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 1: come on, at that point, you're straight up betting with

999
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 1: your heart that the US is gonna win or get

1000
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:23,799
Speaker 1: the draw. There is some some chatter, and again it's

1001
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 1: just chatter that this Harry Kane injury is something. I

1002
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:31,920
Speaker 1: think it was an ankle that he dinged up in

1003
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: the Iran game. I told you guys after that after

1004
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 1: that game, um, Iran. I don't want to say it

1005
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 1: was head hunting, but they were really going after him

1006
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 1: and Harry Kane took a knock that they're saying it's

1007
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 1: his right ankle and um it was. I guess he's

1008
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,399
Speaker 1: gonna have a scan at some point today to find

1009
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 1: out what the damagees. So there's a chance Harry Kane

1010
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: does not start up front. Now, Listen, we've talked about

1011
00:54:56,600 --> 00:55:00,799
Speaker 1: in England as deep as hell. Okay, England is gonna

1012
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:05,719
Speaker 1: be fine without Harry Kane. But but is there is

1013
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:08,799
Speaker 1: there a chance the US comes out fired up, not

1014
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 1: down in the dumps after the tie and says, you

1015
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 1: know what, Harry Kane their best goal scorer. He ain't there.

1016
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 1: We we got this again. Harry Kane is very good,

1017
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 1: one of the better strikers in the tournament. But the

1018
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 1: depth on England is ridiculous, like the US just turning

1019
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 1: the guys on the bench. You know MLS guys some

1020
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:34,640
Speaker 1: play internationally. They got a good team. I like the

1021
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:37,280
Speaker 1: U S team England. It has a bunch of world class,

1022
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:40,440
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar players. It's gonna be tough. I'm probably

1023
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 1: not gonna bet it. Maybe I'll take a shot in

1024
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 1: the dark on who the US goal scorer is because

1025
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:48,920
Speaker 1: I think they listen, Iran got through for two that

1026
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 1: could have been and it wasn't totally garbage show. I

1027
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 1: think it was four nothing and then they scored one,

1028
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 1: and then it was six one and they got a

1029
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 1: p K late. Maybe I don't. I don't remember, but

1030
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 1: I'm who I'm rooting, obviously to us. I'll be on

1031
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:03,800
Speaker 1: social media for that one, and um, I'll be posting

1032
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:07,880
Speaker 1: some college football, college hoops. Other World Cup bets on

1033
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 1: the Graham, Other World Cup bets I have here to

1034
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: round out the podcast. Switzerland on the money line minus

1035
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,760
Speaker 1: under two and a half goals, Spain at Costa Rica,

1036
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 1: Germany over two and a half goals. I think the

1037
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 1: Germans open up a can I actually try. I took

1038
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:26,400
Speaker 1: a long shot dart. You know how sometimes you'll bet

1039
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 1: first touchdown in a game or last touchdown. I took

1040
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 1: a shot at Germany to win exactly three to one.

1041
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. And then Croatia Morocco first half draw. Yes,

1042
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 1: I'm deep in the weeds in the World Cup. All right,

1043
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 1: that's it for Thanksgiving week, guys, Um, everybody enjoy the break.
