5
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: I know this year is a little weird. Two thousand

6
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: twenty's just been pretty terrible. So uh, you know, hopefully

7
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,919
Speaker 1: everything's okay, and keep your head up and just we'll

8
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: grind through it together. Uh. Just finished watching this Monday

9
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: night football game. Actually there's like forty seconds left. I

10
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: just once Brady through that pick. I had to fire

11
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: it up. I I got a couple of takes on tonight. Uh,

12
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna dive into a lot on what happened this weekend,

13
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill, some thoughts on the Colts Packer game, John

14
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: on Harbaugh and Vrabel fighting. We'll do a little rookie

15
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: quarterback stock watch. Uh, dive into some of your Middlecoff

16
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: mail bag questions at John Middlecoff is my Instagram easiest

17
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: way to get ahold of me slide up in my

18
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: d m s. I'll probably do a large mail bag

19
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: on Friday, which I'm gonna record the next couple of

20
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: days before Thanksgiving to go out for the weekend, so

21
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: uh anything, hit me up and we'll do a large

22
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: mail bag question. Also, get ready for the weekend's games.

23
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 1: Apologize if if anyone took my betting for three and out.

24
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: I didn't hit on one pick on Friday's picks. I

25
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: also bet on some other games I basically missed. I

26
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: lost a lot of money this weekend, so I apologize.

27
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 1: I also lost I bet on my picks that did

28
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: not hit. It was embarrassing, no way around it. I'll

29
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: just be better. I'll have to be better. I don't

30
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: know necessarily how to be better. I'm on a cold

31
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: streak right now, but we gotta pick ourselves up off

32
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: the mat and uh and win some games. There is

33
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: some games to gamble on on Thursday, but the games

34
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: look pretty terrible obviously, the Cowboys, the Lions games, I'm

35
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: just not that interested. Then the night game. Who knows,

36
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: a bunch of Ravens are getting quarantined right now, their

37
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: whole backfield and their nose tackle. So we'll see if

38
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: that Ravens Steeler game goes down. But let's start with

39
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: the Monday night football game. And you hear this when

40
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: you're young a lot just wait till you get old,

41
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: Wait till you get old, Wait till you get old,

42
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: and you never really understand it for a long period

43
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 1: of time. And I'm not some by any means, some

44
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: pristine athlete. It didn't play in anything past high school.

45
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: But for the most part in my life, in my

46
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: like twenties, I've worked out every day since I was

47
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: like in college, I could eat whatever I wanted. And

48
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: then two or three years ago it kind of hit

49
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: me when all those people like, hey man, it's about

50
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: the diet. It's about the diet. It's true. Now it

51
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: hits everyone at a different age, and they always see,

52
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: wait till you get old, different pains and eggs and pains,

53
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: and you won't battle back. You'll get a little sore.

54
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: And then you get older and you kind of realize,

55
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: like I get sore the first time I played golf

56
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: in a while like that that that's like the weakest

57
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: thing I could ever say in my life. I get

58
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: sore playing golf. That actually happens when you're thirty six,

59
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: and he just everything works a little slower. I can't

60
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: imagine what it's like to be in my forties and

61
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: fifties just part of growing older. It's why every older

62
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: athlete says father Time is undefeated. And I honestly don't

63
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: think it really sinks in as a sports watcher until

64
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: you get of the age that they're talking about, And

65
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: right now I'm in an age at thirty six years old.

66
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: Did a lot of athletes historically kind of just fall

67
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:45,119
Speaker 1: off a cliff thirty seven? Now, some guys, starting with

68
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: the greatest quarterback of all time, Tom Brady, has pushed

69
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: the envelope on that number. Right. He's forty three years old,

70
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: he just won a Super Bowl a couple of years ago. He's,

71
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: you know, still a good player. But I thought tonight

72
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: on Monday Night Ball was one of the most alarming

73
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: games I've ever seen him play. He was like skipping balls,

74
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: throwing balls right to the other team. He looked old.

75
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: And we've been saying it for a long time about

76
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, about Philip Rivers. I saw it happen with

77
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, Like, it's not that he looks old. Tom

78
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: Brady is old. He's forty three years old. This is

79
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: not normal. This shouldn't be the norm. What he's doing,

80
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: hopefully is an outlier situation because I don't really want

81
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: to watch forty three year old, you know, in theory,

82
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: especially the greatest quarterback of all time, he shouldn't be

83
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: able to dominate at the level in which he did

84
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: five or six years ago. It honestly is one of

85
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: the most unbelievable things we've ever seen in the history

86
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: of sports. The Tom Brady passed his forty you know,

87
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: like forty and forty one. Then he went an m

88
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: VP at forty like, that's insane, that's that's crazy, that's nuts.

89
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: But he can't move. In a league that is becoming,

90
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: there are a lot more pressure on the quarterback to

91
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: at least be able to roll out to his left

92
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: or right. Tom cannot do that. He stays within the pocket.

93
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: Now he's the greatest pocket quarterback of all time. But

94
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: as you saw tonight, the Colts, excuse me, not the Colts,

95
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: the Bucks, who were missing some offensive lineman struggle to

96
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: protect him sometimes. And when you hit Tom in his

97
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: peak in OH seven and eleven, it rattles him. Why,

98
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: because he's a human like any quarterback. If you hit

99
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: a quarterback, it's gonna rattle him a little bit. And

100
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: then I thought tonight, whether it's the offense, whether it's

101
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: not being on the same page as Antonio Brown or

102
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: Mike Evans or whatever, his deep ball accuracy today was atrocious.

103
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he basically is just a tad over. But

104
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: to me, the interceptions, even if you don't live in

105
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: New England, just because he's played in so many national

106
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: televised games. He's played in so many of those afternoon

107
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: national games on CBS with Romo and before that Phil Simms.

108
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: I feel like I've watched, and I've lived in California

109
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: the majority of his career, of Tom Brady's games, I'd

110
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: have to go back into a deep dive and I

111
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: remember that one Kansas City game, but just those two throws.

112
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: I beat that throw to basically end the game where

113
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: he overthrew break. It almost felt like, you know, it's

114
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: like getting close to midnight. I just want to go home.

115
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: You've never ever seen him make that throw. Ever, I'm

116
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: honestly it happened probably ten minutes ago. As I'm recording this,

117
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,799
Speaker 1: I'm still a little bit of loss. I get, like, listen,

118
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: he's old. I don't hold him to the same standard

119
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: in which I did in his absolute peak. He shouldn't

120
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: be in his peak anymore. He's eating avocado ice cream

121
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: and he's playing. But he still has their receiving corps

122
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: with Mike Evans, with Chris Godwin, with Antonio Brown, who's

123
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: still trying to figure it out. But Antonio Brown's I

124
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: don't know if right now he's an elite player, but

125
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: he's still damn good. Evans is a monster, Godwin's a monster.

126
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: I just I don't even really know what I just witnessed.

127
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: Is it that him and Airy Ends aren't on the

128
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 1: same page. Clearly it's throwing them off. They don't have

129
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: running backs to dump the ball off to. Tom Brady

130
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: is used to doing something pretty simple, throwing the ball

131
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: to running backs on wheel routes. Tonight, every single it

132
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: felt like the majority of plays on early downs are

133
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: running like go routes are running posts are running deep outs.

134
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: If you've watched Tom Brady's career with Josh mcgannels, that's

135
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: not really what they do, not because he can't do it,

136
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: but he's more comfortable doing other stuff. The reality is

137
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: this team is built with thoroughbreds to push the ball

138
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: down the field, and as we saw tonight, Tom Brady

139
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: is just not accurate down the field right now. He's

140
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: just not Honestly, it wasn't even close on several balls

141
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: like they were embarrassingly bad. They just were. And then

142
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: I take a step back and I go, well again,

143
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: back to Father Time. He's old as hell. Is it

144
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: really that crazy? Should he be kind of bad? Yeah?

145
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: That shouldn't that kind of make sense? Of course, maybe

146
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: this is just who Tom Brady is. Some games will

147
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: be good and some games will be bad. I talked

148
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: about Philip Rivers. I'll do it later in the show,

149
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: like that's the reality with him. And he's in his

150
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: late thirties, you know, I mean, this is probably just

151
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: who he is. Father Time has slowly, as the slowest ever,

152
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: you know, kind of creeped into Tom Brady's life, and

153
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: I think the Arians discomfort probably the wrong word, but

154
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: there it doesn't quite feel like the mesh between Tom

155
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: and Arians is a perfect mesh. Would they be better

156
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: with Jamis Winston? No? I mean Jamis throws a lot

157
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: of picks, But the Tom I saw tonight was throwing

158
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: the ball the other team and then on the other side.

159
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: It ended up working out because Tom threw the pick

160
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: at the end of the game. But Sean McVeigh, with

161
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: kind of the game on the line in a tie game,

162
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: drive in the field, he has Jared Goff make a

163
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: great play on third down. It's like third and eight.

164
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: He calls a rollout, he runs like a deep out

165
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: the Cooper Cup. Goff, as Devin White's chasing him, throws

166
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: a dime and then they get in the field goal range.

167
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: And then he pusses out on second and third down

168
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: and he just runs the ball. I don't understand getting.

169
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: I understand if you're always gonna be conservative, but I

170
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: never understand a coach. And Jared Goff had thrown a

171
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: terrible interception in the second half. But once you call

172
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: that third down play and you empower him and he

173
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,719
Speaker 1: comes through to me, you just gotta roll with it.

174
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: Because the one thing you saw tonight between Woods and

175
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: Cup and the rookie Van Jefferson and just their wide receivers,

176
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: they they have a dynamic offense in terms of wide receivers.

177
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: Those guys can get open, keep putting the pedal to

178
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: the medal. Now, ultimately they played for a field goal,

179
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: and I'm sitting there and my desk watching the game

180
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: gone you know, it feels a little bit like Tiger Woods.

181
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: After the ten, he birdies five of his last six

182
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 1: holes of the Masters I've seen, you know, Tom Brady

183
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: has had bad games before, and he's had walk off touchdowns.

184
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty risky now. It ended up working

185
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 1: out because Tom didn't come through. But I did not

186
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: like the conservative nature from Sean McVeigh, especially after Jared

187
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: Goff just made a couple of dice throws on the drive.

188
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: It's almost like he showed you I don't really trust

189
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: Jared Goff. I don't want him taking a bad sack.

190
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 1: I don't want him turning the ball over. That was

191
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: a little alarming, and I think, you know, I don't

192
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: know if it was much about the Rams defense tonight,

193
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: because everyone's like, oh, Brandon Staley's he's like the next

194
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 1: Vic Fangio meets Bill Porcels, Like, let's just pump the

195
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: brakes a little bit. Tom was just throwing the ball

196
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: of the other team. I didn't think like the Rams

197
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,599
Speaker 1: were just running circles around everyone on defense. But the

198
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: result is the result. You could argue that they have

199
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: the talent. They definitely have the offensive skill. Guys, they

200
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: definitely have those couple of blue chip guys on defense

201
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 1: to make noise in the NFC. And let's face it,

202
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: the NFC is wide open. I mean, if Drew brees

203
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: My not be able to come back and take them

204
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 1: hill running around, that's gonna be your number one seed.

205
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: The Packers, we know they're flawed. Like any team can

206
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: win the NFC this year. If you get into the dance,

207
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: the Rams will have as good a chance as any

208
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: right that they really will. But Sean McVeigh cannot get back,

209
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: you know, to the Super Bowl and win the NFC

210
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: if he's gonna be conservative, and sometimes weirdly he gets

211
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: conservative for being this young Hollywood hot shot. The guys

212
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: like me love putting on a pedestal and blowing and

213
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: act like this sweet coach because he is. He just can.

214
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: When he gets in a rhythm and a flow with

215
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: that offense, it looks awesome. But then he, you know,

216
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: turns into a defensive head coach. Sometimes it's like, John,

217
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Keep the pedal to the metal,

218
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: play for the touchdown, go for the kill shot, hit

219
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: him with the hammer in the head, knock him out

220
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: in the game, and he calls two runs against one

221
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: of the best run defenses in the league, Like, you're

222
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: not gonna run it? Are you just playing for the

223
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: field goal? Is that kind of weird? Are you gonna

224
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: do that against Sean Payton? Are you gonna do that

225
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: against Kyler Russell Wilson? That that would make me a

226
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: little nervous. Maybe it wouldn't. But I've seen him do

227
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: that now a couple of times the last couple of

228
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: years that I just got a red flag. Did he

229
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: get a little tight in big spots? Because I hope not.

230
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: I think he's one of the better coaches in the league,

231
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: not just young, just better coaches in the league. I

232
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: thought he was kind of run circles around arians like, hey, Bruce,

233
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: tell Leftwich, stop calling these go routes in deep posts.

234
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: Tom's not getting remotely close. If he was playing, you know, horseshoes,

235
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: he wouldn't get any points. He's not even in the vicinity.

236
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: Run some small short breaking routes. Put a different running

237
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: back in there beside the Leonard four Nett that can

238
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: catch the football. Because this is not working out, very

239
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: very poor coaching to night from the Tampa Bay Bucks.

240
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: Very bizarre, it really was. And you know Sean McVeigh

241
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: out coached him, but he got a little lucky there

242
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: because because you cannot get conservative. Not too easy to

243
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: play offense, too many touchdowns, too easy to drive the field.

244
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: We saw it on some to night football. Derrek drives

245
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: the field, My homes drive the field like teams can

246
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: score so fast. Now it's a possibly defense can't hit

247
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:12,479
Speaker 1: anyone in the passing game. You gotta you gotta be aggressive.

248
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: To me, whoever win's Super Bowl this year will just

249
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 1: be super aggressive. I'm not even talking on four pounds.

250
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: I'm just talking the mindset to keep scoring touchdowns, not

251
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: kick field goals, go forward in short in you know,

252
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: fourth and short situations or third and short situation. You've

253
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 1: gotta be aggressive. And it's just it's something to keep

254
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: an eye on. With me. Let's dive into probably the

255
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: biggest story, or definitely one of them of the weekend.

256
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: And I don't think it's that complicated once you take

257
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: a step back and look at it, When you just

258
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: look at it from a quarterback coach perspective, you go,

259
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: why does he want to play him so much? When

260
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: you take a step back and realize we all know

261
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: that guy and I've seen. All you gotta do is

262
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: watch TV. Some of the most famous investors get a

263
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: lot of credit for going. You know what, I gave

264
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: Apple money in the nineties when no one believed in them.

265
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: I invested in Jeff Bezos in the late nineties. I

266
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: was one of the initial investors in Facebook or Uber.

267
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: I saw something that no one else could see. Those

268
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: guys become really famous. Turn on CNBC. Those guys get

269
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: interviewed like once a week. It's like, you know, this

270
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: is the guy that was a third investor into Uber

271
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: because they saw something anyone had the opportunity. How people

272
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: take pride in You know, I got this little hole

273
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: in the wall restaurant. No one knows about it but me.

274
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: Because when you know something that someone else doesn't know

275
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: in your own mind, it separates you. And football is

276
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: no different. It's a talent acquisition business. Most players, you know,

277
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa, Khalil Mack, Aaron Donald, everyone knows those guys

278
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: are good. But once upon a time, no one thought

279
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: Tom Brady was any good. The Patriots thought clearly enough

280
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: to draft him, and then they built a franchise around

281
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: the guy. Joe Montana was once drafted in the third round,

282
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: the third round. Mahomes. Obviously, the Bears drafted a quarterback,

283
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: didn't think about drafting him. The Niners Kyle Shanahan said

284
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: he didn't even look at Patrick Mahomes. Part of the

285
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: right now, he was a really high pick still, you

286
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: know in the top what he's picked tenth. But one

287
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: of the reasons the Chiefs get a lot of credit

288
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: for Mahomes is it does feel like, you know, the

289
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: only two teams that were gonna draft Mahomes in the

290
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: first round were Andy Reen Sean Payton, and it just

291
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: turns out there two of the better offensive vines. They

292
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: saw something that no one else saw. I get asked

293
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: this question sometimes. You know, when you were scouting, who

294
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: were your diamonds? You know, I I started scouting when

295
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: the Internet existed. There are no diamonds. Everyone has access

296
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: to every piece of film. We know about every single

297
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: when when you have a pro day, if a guy

298
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: runs a four three that goes viral, not on Twitter,

299
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: but in NFL circles. There's no such thing as a diamond.

300
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: But if you are active and you either draft that

301
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: guy late in the draft or signed him as an

302
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: undrafted free agent, you get credit for the player, Like

303
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: was Richard Sherman a diamond for Seattle back in the day. No,

304
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: everyone had Richard Sherman on their draft board. Seattle just

305
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: pulled the trigger, but ultimately they get credit still to

306
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: this day, is like Pete and John Snyder landed him

307
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: in the third round. Hell, think how much credit they

308
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: get for Russell Wilson. It's like, you know that anyone

309
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: else could have had him, and that's true. But everyone

310
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: knew about the guy. Remember what the Eagles and he

311
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: read loved him. We thought about drafting him. We didn't.

312
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: But I would imagine a ton of teams like Russell

313
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: Wilson a lot. But the reason Seattle gets all the

314
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: credit is they drafted him. He's still on their team.

315
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: One of the things I realized watching Sean Payton would

316
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill, is he like, this is his guy. For

317
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: whatever reason, he fell in love with him. And the

318
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: irony is they didn't even quote unquote find him. Now again,

319
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: everyone knew who Tasom Hill was. You know, maybe I

320
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 1: watched more B y U than some people in the

321
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: Northeast or the Southeast, just because I don't know. I

322
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: guess they're a West Coast School. But I remember seeing

323
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: him all the time in like two thousand, two thousand, fourteen,

324
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: two fifteen. He was this highly touted guy, like their

325
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: version of Tebow, you know, B y U S. But

326
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: he kept tearing his A C L. And he was

327
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: there for like six or seven years. He was an

328
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 1: undrafted free agent, not to the Saints, but to the

329
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers. They cut him. Then the Saints acquired him,

330
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 1: and for whatever reason, the moment he got around there,

331
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: him and Sean Payton hit it off, and Sean Payton

332
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,719
Speaker 1: feels he sees something in this player that no one

333
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: else sees, like this is his diamond. He's been rumored

334
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 1: the last couple of years is they're gonna get up

335
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: to get a quarterback. They're gonna try to get this guy,

336
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: and they haven't been able to do that. He clearly

337
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: really like Teddy Bridgewater. Remember they signed him when a

338
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: lot of teams could have him. They paid him a

339
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: lot as the backup, but eventually he was good enough

340
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: that he got a contract they couldn't match. And now

341
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: he has this guy. Whether we agree or disagree, whether

342
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: he's the future Drew Brees replacement or not, the only

343
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: person what do they teach you in business school? You

344
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: want to get a deal done, you don't waste any time,

345
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 1: but get to the people that make decisions, or get

346
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: to the gatekeepers who can lead you to the decision makers.

347
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: All that matters in life. Like we all know if

348
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,719
Speaker 1: we've been, you know, to a sales guy buying a

349
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: car or whatever, if the guy is has to go, well,

350
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: let me go get my manager. That guy's worthless. He's irrelevant.

351
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: So whether scouts and I saw the story last week

352
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 1: that you know a lot of people within the Saints

353
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: organization didn't didn't agree with Sean Payton. My response was,

354
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: who gives a ship? Sean Payton's the boss. If you

355
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: need one person to believe believe in you, and in

356
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: every franchise, it better be the head coach coach, because

357
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: the head coach dictates who plays. And I know Sean

358
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: Payton in terms of the hierarchy of head coach in

359
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: the NFL, is near the top when it comes to juice.

360
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: He's got a lot in his organization and watching Taysom

361
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: Hill like it was a little different. He's not like

362
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: some natural quarterback in the sense of little frenetic with

363
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: his feet like kind of scrambling like a runner, looks

364
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 1: like a guy, like a raw product that. But the

365
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: thing is he's not twenty two years old. He's thirty.

366
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: If you told me guy he's twenty two, I'd be like, ah, man,

367
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: they got something there. But he's thirty. I go. You know,

368
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: he's got a strong arm, actually made a lot of

369
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 1: accurate passes, really athletic. I mean he ran a four

370
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: four by U s prote still plays like that. He's

371
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: really physically, he's tough. There's a lot to like and

372
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lean with I get social media and people

373
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: question it. Hell I question it. But Sean Payton is

374
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: one of the best coaches you know of the last

375
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: several decades. Like he knows what he's doing now. He

376
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: might ultimately be wrong on this. A lot of great investors.

377
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: If you invest in Ubern, you've invest in Facebook, You've

378
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: probably invested in companies that go under the masses that

379
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: we never hear of, and your money just disappears, just

380
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: like it happens with a lot of coaches that invest

381
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: in players, that draft players, that believe in players they

382
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,199
Speaker 1: turned out to not be very good. There's been a

383
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: lot of six round picks. I'll promise you that didn't

384
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,719
Speaker 1: look like Tom Brady just nature of the deal. There

385
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: have been a lot of free agent quarterback signings that

386
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: didn't work out, like Drew Brees. But I'm gonna get

387
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: behind if Sean Payton believes in this guy, he's putting

388
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: all his chips in the middle of the table. I'll

389
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: get behind it. I think there's a chance it works.

390
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: I also think there's a chance that fails. It's a

391
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: risky move, but I think he's thinking bigger picture and

392
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: there's an ego involved. Like I said, you get a

393
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: little credit if Taysom Hill becomes a really good quarterback.

394
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: Sean Payton's getting all the credit, and you can say, well,

395
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: what what does he need to get credit At this

396
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: point in time in his career. He's been making ten

397
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: million hours forever, He's won a super Bowl, his team

398
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: goes to the playoffs every year. We're all humans, we're

399
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: all competitive. We all have egos that like to be

400
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: stroked and get more credit for the next thing. Most

401
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: achievers don't live in the past. You think he gives

402
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 1: a crap about two thousand nineteen or I mean two

403
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 1: thousand nine wins the Super Bowl, like he's trying to

404
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: move on. You know, clearly has and they haven't been

405
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 1: able to get over the hump in the last four

406
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: or five years with one of the better teams in

407
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: the league. Maybe he thinks it, clearly he does that

408
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: a mobile quarterback gives them a more dynamic option. The

409
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: Drew Brees just as a guy that can't run, and

410
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: let's face it, can't really throw the ball down the field.

411
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: Maybe this guy gives him a better option. I'd say

412
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: no as of right now novemberye recording this, but maybe

413
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: next year it does. And all that matters is Sean

414
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 1: Payton believes that. Okay, let's dive into what was probably

415
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: the game of the day. Well, I guess Chiefs Raiders

416
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: was the game of the day. The second best game

417
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: of the day would have been Colts Packers. And I've

418
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 1: used the analogy before. When Philip Rivers is off, they

419
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: have like a five million dollar home that doesn't have

420
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: any water. Yesterday Philip Rivers was on, when the water

421
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: works and you're in a super nice home. The house

422
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: is sweet, the Colts infrastructure is awesome. They have a

423
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: really good defense, even though it didn't really play very well,

424
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: definitely in the first half. They have a ton of

425
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: good young players. They have Jonathan Taylor who kind of

426
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: came on for the first time. Michael Pittman looks like

427
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: he's got a chance to be really good. I know

428
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: Frank reich Uh compared him coming out to Vinca Jackson.

429
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: I thought that was a little bold, and then he

430
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: had the sweet play yesterday. I'm like, yeah, maybe maybe

431
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: he's right. They have a really good offensive line, and

432
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: if you get good quarterback, play their Super Bowl contender.

433
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: Like if if they had Philip Rivers of like two fourteen,

434
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: we'd view them like the Chiefs to or the Steelers,

435
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: they'd be viewed as one of the best teams in

436
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: the league. But instead we view them ask their records

437
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 1: good and they're good, but their quarterback, like, I don't

438
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: know what I'm getting week to week now. I think

439
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers to play his best, he's gonna have to

440
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: play in a dome, So they're gonna have to win

441
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 1: the division and have home old advantage at least in

442
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: the first round, and then you know, I think it's

443
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: gonna be very, very difficult for them to win outside

444
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh or Kansas City with Rivers arm I don't

445
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: think it's really possible, but it's clear we know exactly

446
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: who they are. They are a quarterback away, whether that's

447
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: trading for Sam Donald, whether that's making some offseason trade

448
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: from Matt Stafford, whether that's drafting one of the top guys,

449
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: trading up and getting them from being a big Boy contender.

450
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: But as long as they have Philip Rivers, you have

451
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 1: no clue what you're gonna get week to week, right,

452
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: and if their defense is bad, they're not gonna win

453
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: most of these games. But Chris Ballard's built an excellent roster.

454
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: I get why they paid, or maybe not paid who

455
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: else was payan Rivers. I get why Frank they love Rivers,

456
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: but it just it is what it is at this point.

457
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: He just he probably gives you five six good games

458
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,360
Speaker 1: a year, and you hope a couple of those come

459
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. One game yesterday and he was awesome

460
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: and they won the game. I also think they've benefited

461
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: a lot from this. I had money on the game.

462
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 1: I bet the under because I'm like, well, I think

463
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: the Colts have the best defense in the league. I

464
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: think the the Colts offense even though the Packers defense

465
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 1: isn't good, it's just gonna struggle to score like twenty

466
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: five points. It'll probably the final score would be like

467
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: twenty four to seventeen. I thought it would be something

468
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: like that. Instead it was fourteen a halftime and the

469
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: Colts defense was getting destroyed. And that was the type game.

470
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: And I say it all the time. I say the

471
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 1: same thing about Seattle. You can make the playoffs with

472
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: a terrible defense in the NFL. Seattle has done it

473
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 1: several years now in a row. Green Bay went to

474
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: the Conference championship last year with it. Their defense wasn't terrible,

475
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: but a flawed defense. You cannot win the Super Bowl

476
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: with a bad defense. It is impossible. Why because yesterday

477
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: is a great example. They're up to fourteen in complete control.

478
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: If they have a good defense, they cruised that win.

479
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: But their defense just is not dynamic enough. They don't

480
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: cover well enough. They cluded on stop the run well enough. Now,

481
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: obviously their offense made mistakes, they fumbled the ball, but still,

482
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 1: like to me, their defense it's just soft. I know

483
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: Colins said yesterday they kind of got hit in the

484
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: mouth and they rolled over. I think that's natural. That

485
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: happens to teams with shitty defenses. It just is they

486
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: give up leads. No lead is safe, no matter how

487
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: good your quarterback is. There's nothing you can do. Because

488
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: I thought the first half of the game Matt Lafleur

489
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: was having one of his finest moments as a head coach.

490
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: When that offense is on the play action, the boots,

491
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: the naked, the waggles, and then you got a quarterback

492
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: like Rogers, you just eviscerate defenses. And the Colts defense

493
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: is fantastic. They're just they're like a whenever you've watched

494
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: a good fighter, like you're fighting Floyd Mayweather. Even though

495
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: he danced around, he's so fast you don't know if

496
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: he's coming right, whether he's coming left. He can't knock

497
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 1: you out, but they're running right. Then they play action

498
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: to the left, and then they dump it off a

499
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 1: screen to the left, and then they hit a quick

500
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: out to the You you to have no clue what's coming.

501
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: But eventually, if your offense is gonna stall, you're not

502
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: gonna score every drive. If your defense starts giving it

503
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: up and up and up, it just it can wear

504
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: you down. Having a bad defense in the NFL is

505
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: a little bit like having a bad bullpen in baseball.

506
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: You kind of know every game you're just gonna hold

507
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: on for your ass because at any moment your dbs

508
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 1: can get smoked. You can give up a seven you know,

509
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 1: seventeen play drive where you just kind of get shoved around.

510
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: It just it is what it is, and we knew

511
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 1: coming into the season the Packers didn't do much to

512
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: to help out their their run defense, which was not

513
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: good last year, it's bad this year. You know, their

514
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: secondary in theory Jaire Alexander's a really talented player, the

515
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: young Savage Jr. Is a really talented player. But by

516
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: no means are they some lockdown unit. And then at

517
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 1: the end of the day, the two coordinator positions makes

518
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: seven figures for a reason. Your offensive and defensive coordinators

519
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: really matter. This is a coaching league. It's also a

520
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 1: talent league. The Packers have talent. They're coaching scheme on

521
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:12,239
Speaker 1: defense is really really questionable. It continues to let them

522
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: down in big games. Now. For example, the Chiefs defense

523
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: was pretty atrocious on Sunday Night. The differences I've seen

524
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: them with that personnel group and that defensive coordinator play

525
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: really good defense. You're allowed to have bad nights, You're

526
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: allowed to have bad months. The Packers now have been

527
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: pretty inconsistent on defense for a while, and I think

528
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: it's fair to say that Mike Petton might be the problem.

529
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,959
Speaker 1: And I would imagine big picture. Remember they forced Matt Lafleur,

530
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,199
Speaker 1: who was a first time head coach, to hire or

531
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: keep Mike Petton on the staff. I think it's fair

532
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: to say because Matt Laflour has gained a lot of

533
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: juice as a play caller, uh, him and Rogers now

534
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: have a very good relationship. He will have the the

535
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: power within the organization the poll to say if he

536
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: wants to, I don't know their relationship, I don't know

537
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: the guy to say I don't want this guy on

538
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: my staff anymore. I would say that Mike Petton's job

539
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: is in major jeopardy. For example, Uberfluce with the Colts.

540
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: Remember he was hired by Indianapolis when Josh McDaniels was

541
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: going to be the head coach. They had signed him

542
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: to a contract before Josh McDaniels had signed the contract,

543
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 1: and then when Josh backed out and they had to

544
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: go fire hire a new coach, Frank just inherited him.

545
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: But you know what it turns out. I bet Frank

546
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: goes Uberflus a sweet Now he had a bad game yesterday.

547
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: We're a bad half, but he goes This guy is

548
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: really good. I'm lucky to have him. So just because

549
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: you inherit someone or the organization forces him on you

550
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: isn't a bad thing. Like some coaches are really good.

551
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: Douce Staley has been with the Eagles with Chip Kelly,

552
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson, Andy Reid. Now I've been around Deuce. I'll

553
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: tell you this. They should force every coach that comes

554
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: in to keep do Staley. He is an elite position coach.

555
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: There's a reason he stays. He really good. It's not

556
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: that complicated. I do think Pattons. Sometimes you force coaches

557
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: on young coaches that don't really have the leverage or

558
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: juice or hell may not have a name. That's better

559
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: then a couple of years later if they become and

560
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: grow into their own as a really good coach. And

561
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: I think La Fleur I might have been wrong. He

562
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: I'm really impressed with him as a play caller, he's

563
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: been good. But his defensive coordinator, which I will defend

564
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: him on this. It was not his choice. It was

565
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: it was basically an ultimatum, you want this job, you

566
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: I'll take him. And what was he supposed to do?

567
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: Say no, I don't want to be the head coach

568
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: of the Green Bay Packers. Mike Pettons probably come down

569
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: the home stretch of his Green Bay Packer career. We

570
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: talked about it all the time. Every franchise, what's the

571
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: cheapest NFL franchise worth? Like the Jaguars would be like

572
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: one five. We know the most expensive franchises, the Giants,

573
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, the Niners. I would imagine the Packers and

574
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: Steelers would go for a lot. The Patriots. I mean

575
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: you're talking anywhere from three to five billion dollars. So,

576
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: I mean these are enormous expensive businesses, right, and the

577
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: two most important employees for those businesses by far or

578
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: your coach. He's probably your most important, but he's not

579
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: your highest paid. You could argue the highest the most

580
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: important is your quarterback, and he typically if he's good,

581
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: is the highest paid. Here's a reality. When you draft

582
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: a guy in the top six, you're swinging for a

583
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, All Star, franchise changing player. And last draft

584
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: we had three guys drafted in the top six, Joe

585
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: Burrow to a Tongue Baloa and Justin Herbert. So let's

586
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: do a little stock watch. On the Three Eyes. Sunday,

587
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: we saw one of the most devastating injuries you can see.

588
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow got his leg basically snapped from the side,

589
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: and as Schefter reported on Monday morning, it's really bad.

590
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,719
Speaker 1: It's not just a clean a c L, it's an

591
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: ace c L, an m c L, multiple ligaments like

592
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: it's bad. I mean, it's a it's a year long recovery.

593
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: Hopefully he's ready for Week one, you know, in his

594
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: second season. But it's it's a devastating injury for a

595
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: guy that it's just really good. We all acknowledge, right

596
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: we saw him at at L s U. We thought, God,

597
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: it can't be this easy. Then he got to Cincinnati,

598
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: who couldn't be any worse. I mean, their team is atrocious.

599
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: Their offensive line is a turnstile that they're They're not

600
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: good at all. It's honestly crazy that he didn't get

601
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: injured sooner. But it really sucks. I mean, it put

602
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: a damper in the weekend, on a weekend that just

603
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: in general with everything going on in the country. It

604
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: was just it puts into perspective. I mean, we're talking

605
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: about a guy. He's gonna be fine. It's not he's

606
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: losing his life or anything. But in terms of football

607
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: like it's it's it's devastating, a devastating blow for a

608
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: franchise that desperately needs him. He is the savior of

609
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: that for Chise, because without him, the franchise is a joke.

610
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the hell with them. They were going

611
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: to draft in the top five again, but now they're

612
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: not gonna win another game, no chance. I mean, I

613
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: honestly they might get rolled from here on out. So

614
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: stock watch. There is just I would put a little

615
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: emergency side next to it. Just hope the guy can

616
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: come back full strength. Don't rush it. The problem now

617
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: is he doesn't get an off season. Who knows the

618
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: way the off season is gonna work, you know, depending

619
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: on the vaccines and corona. I'd imagine O t As

620
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: won't happen again, but there is. There're gonna be a

621
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on this organization to put the right

622
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: pieces around them. There. They're probably gonna be the number

623
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: two drafting team in the league. Can they kind of

624
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: parlay and flip that number two pick for a team

625
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: that wants a quarterback into several players in the multiple

626
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: first round picks for years to come. Remember when they

627
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: got rid of Carson Palmer, they changed their franchise around

628
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton and they built a really really good team

629
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: around him. Well, it's their team is basically the opposite

630
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: right now. They're one really sweet asset is Joe Burrow.

631
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: And now he's got a torn a c L, a

632
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: torn and m c L and messed up a ligament.

633
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: So stockwatch emergency. No fault of his own, but it's

634
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: a problem. Stock watched down though, would be to a

635
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: second game in four weeks that he threw for under

636
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: a hundred yards. I was sinking his praises last week.

637
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: I thought it looked good. I thought he was getting

638
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: rid of the ball quick. I thought he just I was.

639
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: I was impressed with with two of last week. This week,

640
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: it really doesn't matter what I think. The head coach

641
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: benched him. The head coach yanked him, you know why,

642
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: because he was terrible. He couldn't push the ball downfield.

643
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what the weather was in Denver, didn't

644
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: look that cold, but Fangio was taken into the wood shed.

645
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: They had no offense. Trust me, I had Gasecki on

646
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: my draft Kings team and he had nothing because t

647
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: was just through for eighty three arts. At one point

648
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: I googled, like, what was his box score? He like

649
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: sixty yards in the middle of the third quarter. This

650
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: isn't and it's never been easier to throw the football.

651
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: Like again, it's irrelevant when I think of to his

652
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: head coach tells you everything you need to know. He

653
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: thought he was terrible yesterday, like embarrassingly bad, pulled him

654
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: from Ryan Fitzpatrick, and then Fitzpatrick came in the second

655
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: half and flew right by him. In terms of production,

656
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: I'm watching that game on the red zone. They keep

657
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 1: flipping over there. Fitzpatrick leads them right down the field

658
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: something to it couldn't do. So that that pretty concerning

659
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: that you're having to yank because think about this Joe

660
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: Burrow before he got injured, and Justin Herbert, who I'm

661
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: gonna get into in a minute, their head coaches and

662
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: organizations under zero no chance they would think about yanking

663
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: their guy. Not be impossible, would not happen. Just it's

664
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: just wouldn't they, It wouldn't yank him. They it's even

665
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: in floors his mind. Now, I get it. It's a

666
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: little different circumstances. Their team was in the playoff hunt

667
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: and they're just focused on winning the game, which I understand,

668
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: but pretty big indictment when they coach bench is the

669
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: guy in his fourth start. Think about that is fourth started.

670
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: He got benched in the middle of the game on

671
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: the road against a team that didn't have many wins.

672
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: Be one thing of like they were just getting their

673
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: breaks beat in by the Chiefs or the Steelers or

674
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: the Saints or the Box or just some good team.

675
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: They're playing the Denver Broncos and they were getting throttled,

676
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: and really Tool was getting throttled. They had no offense,

677
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 1: so stock way down and then Justin Herbert, I get

678
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: he's playing the Jets. But he's just a star. I mean,

679
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: he is an explosive. He's explosive of a pastor as

680
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: we see in the last decade as a rookie since

681
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: I mean, we didn't see Mahomes as a rookie. Clearly

682
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,399
Speaker 1: Mahomes was doing that in practice, but just in terms

683
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: of rookie quarterbacks, there the first season. I mean, Luck

684
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: was a better player, but he wasn't a more explosive passer.

685
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 1: Now he Here's the one thing if you are like

686
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,320
Speaker 1: you know, because I get this sometimes like you're blowing Herbert,

687
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: You're putting him in this pedestal. He was given a

688
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: pretty easy landing, you know. Strip In terms of talent

689
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: around him, Keenan Allen is one of the best wide

690
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: receivers in the league. Mike Williams a monster, and Hunter

691
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 1: Henry is really good. They have a lot of talent

692
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 1: to throw to the ball. But just in terms of

693
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 1: eye test, like you just watched the guy. He consistently

694
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: pushes the ball down the field. He makes throws on

695
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: the run that are just a rope. He threw a

696
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: touchdown yesterday to Keenan Allen rolling to his left, Keenan

697
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 1: in the back of the end zone for about twenty

698
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: five yards, just an absolute dart. Hit Keenan right in

699
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: the numbers. Playing the Jets, but he did what good

700
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: quarterbacks do. He destroyed them. He embarrassed them through three touchdowns,

701
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: three plush yards. It just looks like what he is

702
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: a star and I talked about it earlier. The only

703
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 1: question is now will Dean span Us someone who is

704
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: notoriously cheap, someone who lives to save money, uh, even

705
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 1: though he's inherited all his money and doesn't have any

706
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: money in rent? Has this star quarterback in Los Angeles,

707
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: a star town? Will he go hire a star coach?

708
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: Will he go get his pat Riley, his Phil Jackson,

709
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 1: his you know, when the Dodgers hired Joe Tory, will

710
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: he take a big swing or will he just p

711
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 1: is Pete Carroll? Or will he just do what he

712
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: historically does? Just go hire a coordinator, take the easy

713
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: way out. Because if I was him, I already said

714
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer, I'd go I'd go big game hunting because

715
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: you already got the most important player who stock goes

716
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: up every week. It keeps going up every week. You're like,

717
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: this guy can't sustain this, and then he does. You're like, no,

718
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a bad week, and then he balls.

719
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 1: The guy just does what good quarterbacks do. They dominate

720
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: every week. His team sucks, so they lose a lot

721
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: of games, but it's no fault of his own. I

722
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: just hope Dean Spanos and an organization that you know,

723
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: tries to cut corners sometimes financially drives a line in

724
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: the sand and realizes, you know, we gotta do everything

725
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 1: we can for this guy, because if we do, we

726
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: can be in the mix with Mahomes to just consistently

727
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: win in this league. If they don't, they'll be where

728
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 1: they've always been, just, you know, make the playoffs one year,

729
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: missing a couple of years, make the playoffs one year

730
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 1: while they have a Pro Bowl quarterback. Because we've seen

731
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: this song and dance with the Chargers before. I love

732
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 1: a good motivational story, and one story that came out

733
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: Monday was how Mike McCarthy got his squad ready for Sunday.

734
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: So usually on Saturday night, a head coach addresses the

735
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: team in the hotel on the road, and they do

736
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: it at home too, if they, you know, stay most

737
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: of these teams stay at a hotel before a before

738
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: a home game. And I guess that he took several

739
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 1: watermelons and basically acted like he didn't hammer home some

740
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: key points throughout the week that he wanted to get

741
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: done about making sure that they hit Dalvin Cook and

742
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: contained arguably the best running back in the league. And

743
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: he whiped out a sledgehammer, and he started destroying watermelons

744
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:09,240
Speaker 1: like he's like thor or something. And I'm a sucker

745
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: for those stories. And I think we had some pretty

746
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: good moments this weekend with with McCarthy doing that, and

747
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: I don't think that's really why they won. Ultimately, they

748
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: were coming off a bye. The Vikings defense and the

749
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 1: secondary is not very good. The Cowboys Cedee Lamb is

750
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: a stud, Amari Cooper is good, Gallops good. They should

751
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 1: even with Andy Dalton, should be able to throw Zeke

752
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:35,280
Speaker 1: and Tony Pollard. The offense is really loaded and actually

753
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: their front seven is not bad. Can they cover anybody?

754
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: They couldn't cover Theineland, They couldn't cover Justin Jefferson. I

755
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: don't really think they can. But they should play good

756
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: run defense and they should score points. It's why going

757
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: into this week they should be Washington on Thanksgiving that

758
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 1: that should be a game that they win. And I

759
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: think that ultimately they win that game. And you look at,

760
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: you know, the Vikings, like you just once you put

761
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: yourself in a huge hole. It's hard to rattle off

762
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,280
Speaker 1: a bunch of wins when you're a flawed team. Becauld

763
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: you watch the Vikings, you go, you know, cousins. They

764
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: do have weapons. He can look pretty good cooking even

765
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: if he's not running the ball, can catch the ball too.

766
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 1: Eric Hendricks makes a ton of plays, but they're just

767
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 1: They put themselves in a huge hole and it was

768
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: just gonna be Their margin for air was nothing, and

769
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: they they ran into the Cowboys coming off of By

770
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: and it cost him. The other you know thing that

771
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 1: I loved is John Harbaugh and listen, the hard balls

772
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 1: are crazy Jack Harbaugh. Their father raised a couple of

773
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: crazy kids. Jim I think is more outwardly crazy. But

774
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: I always know people that from Philadelphia that worked with

775
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:41,320
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh before he got the Ravens job, that like, listen,

776
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: just because John Harbaugh wears normal clothes and kind of

777
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 1: comes off like a little more normal, don't get that twisted.

778
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 1: He's a madman and he's starting fights with the Tennessee Titans.

779
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: He's like trying to act tough to Mike Vrabel, who

780
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,919
Speaker 1: listened heart, Jim Harbaugh could probably fight some people with John.

781
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I like Vrabel in that fight. Why

782
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: are you talking ship to a team? Did whoop your

783
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: ass last year in a playoff game? To me, that's

784
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: a wasted energy. Is Belichick doing that? Is Andy Reid

785
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: doing that? Is Pete Carroll doing that? Even Sean Payton,

786
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: who's yeah, Sean Payton might But why is John Harper

787
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: doing that? Why is he starting confrontation confrontation with the

788
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 1: Titans before the game? I don't understand it, especially when

789
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 1: his team and I'm not here to kick a dead

790
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,720
Speaker 1: horse here his teams and shambles. His quarterback can't really pass.

791
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 1: He actually made a couple of nice passes in that

792
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 1: game to uh to Mark Andrews, but at the end

793
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: of the day, like he can't throw it at three

794
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 1: hundred yards. It's two thousand twenty. I need my star

795
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: quarterback to be able to throw in the three yard

796
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: mark pretty consistently. And went from like, oh my god,

797
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 1: what are they gonna pay Lamar Jackson? Do let's pump

798
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 1: the brakes. I've been saying all the time. We're always

799
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 1: in a rush to like, what's this guy gonna get paid?

800
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 1: What's this guy gonna get paid? What the hell is

801
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: the rush to pay anybody? If you have Patrick Mahomes,

802
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: I get it. Lamar Jackson's not even Deshaun Watson. He

803
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 1: can't win a playoff game because he can't pass, and

804
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: now his teams and shambles. Their whole team has been

805
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: built around the run, and they just don't get to

806
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,879
Speaker 1: run it down. Everyone's throat. Tell you the team that's

807
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 1: better running the football the Titans, because they just go,

808
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 1: we got one guy. Our schemes not that crazy. We

809
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: run outside and inside zone, and we're gonna hand it

810
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: to the big back from Alabama. You're gonna stuff him

811
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: a lot of the game, but eventually he's gonna wear

812
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: your ask down and he's gonna bust a big run

813
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,240
Speaker 1: and you're gonna look up there when the dust settles.

814
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 1: He's gonna have a buck twenty, he's gonna have a

815
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,879
Speaker 1: buck forty, he's gonna have a buck fifty, and he's

816
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: gonna score a couple of touchdowns. And what did he

817
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: do against the Ravens. They got the game into overtime,

818
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: he had to walk off touchdown Derrick Henry and the

819
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,919
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans owned the Ravens. But back to what I'm saying,

820
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 1: Like I don't mind McCarthy, McCarthy is is motivating his

821
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: own team taking the sledge hammer. It sounds a little

822
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: cheesey or whatever. But it's just in his own walls,

823
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: trying to get his guys to give everything he has

824
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,720
Speaker 1: to attempt to win a game game easily. The Cowboys,

825
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: i'd say, are one of the more disappointing teams in

826
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: recent memory in years, right, So he's kind of desperate.

827
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: I don't understand when Harbaugh is a little desperate too.

828
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,399
Speaker 1: Why is he picking a fight with the other team.

829
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: Why is he going after Malcolm Butler? Why is he

830
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:17,399
Speaker 1: hooting hollering at Mike Vrabel, Like, why are you creating something?

831
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,800
Speaker 1: Just focus on your team. I'm not one to like

832
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 1: act like I know more about motivation than John Harbaugh.

833
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 1: John Harbor is a great motivator. That's really what he's

834
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 1: best at because he's not a scheme guy. He's not

835
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 1: the coordinator on either side of the ball, special teams guy.

836
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: They have a kicker who doesn't need any work. I mean,

837
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 1: Tucker is like, uh, like Dustin Johnson with a five iron.

838
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 1: He never misses. I mean it's just right down the

839
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: right in the middle of the gold post every time.

840
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: So what's he really doing? Justin Tucker, he's a motivator.

841
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: I didn't like that was a motivational tactic that went

842
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: the wrong way, especially you're playing a good team who who,

843
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 1: like I just didn't understand that, and I think that

844
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: that backfire. They can say it didn't matter. I'm gonna

845
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 1: call bullshit because I think and I know the Tennessee Titans.

846
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 1: I was reading Albert Briers piece a lot of their

847
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: players said it kind of added some motivation right before

848
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 1: the game. What do you think raybel was saying to

849
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: that team before they came out, after kind of warm ups,

850
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: before they before they took the field for kickoff? Do

851
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: you think they were fired up? You think they were

852
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: ready to roll. I just sometimes you you know, you

853
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: get a little too amped up and it cost you.

854
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: And the other thing I've been saying over and over,

855
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: I think Doug Peterson's in trouble man. I I just

856
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 1: another game, another just very very ugly. A couple more

857
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: interceptions from Carson Wentz. He's he's one of the worst

858
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: players in the sport right now at quarterback. That's not

859
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:41,360
Speaker 1: even arguable. We all know it. And he's not going anywhere.

860
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:45,240
Speaker 1: He's under contract, he makes huge money. He's the franchise quarterback,

861
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: and they got to get that fixed. Well, it's every week,

862
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 1: we find out Doug Peterson cannot get that fixed. So

863
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 1: if if you put you know yourself and Jeffrey Luris seat,

864
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: what would you do? I think it's pretty simple. You

865
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: got think about replacing the coach. And I like Doug

866
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 1: Peterson a lot. I'm He's been really really cool to

867
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: me over the years, from the moment I met him

868
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: until I saw him at the Combine last year. I'm

869
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: not I don't think like I'm not rooting for him

870
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: to lose his job. But if I put myself in

871
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Luis seat, and just every week, I mean, we

872
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: play the Browns, we go to Cleveland, who's a flawed team,

873
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: who has a quarterback that struggles throw for two yards,

874
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: who all they do is just run the ball. Myles

875
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: Garrett has corona or test positive for corona, so he's

876
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: not even in the game. Like we can't just win

877
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 1: one game. We have a quarterback who's six five's got

878
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 1: a huge arm. I don't care if it's raining or

879
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 1: sleeting or whatever. He's built the play in that environment.

880
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: We get him from the Dakotas, we play in Philadelphia,

881
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: and he's just awful. He's god awful. I don't get it.

882
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 1: I'm someone who's been singing his praises at this big

883
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: time talent. At the end of the day, like your talent,

884
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 1: eventually you just become a player. Right So he's he's

885
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 1: no longer a talent. He's just the quarterback and his

886
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,720
Speaker 1: version of him elf. Right now, Carson Wentz the player

887
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 1: is awful. Whether it's bad practice happens, I don't know.

888
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 1: I haven't asked. I don't even care. I think it's

889
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 1: kind of irrelevant. I'm just judging him on Sunday. Whatever

890
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 1: he's doing on Sunday. It's like he sees guys that

891
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 1: are covered and he still throws it to him. He

892
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 1: has defensive backs right in the hands. I don't get it.

893
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 1: I mean throws it right to him. He's not a rookie.

894
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,359
Speaker 1: He's been the league a long time now, he's nine

895
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: years He's an older player. If anything, he should hang

896
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 1: his hat on like he's a mature guy. He has

897
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,800
Speaker 1: everything under control. I watched him play. Just go. This

898
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 1: guy's just reckless, and there's only one thing you can

899
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: do to contain a reckless player. Let's coach him up

900
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: and clearly. Right now, the Philadelphia Eagles and Doug is

901
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: just lost control of Carson Wentz because Belichick's famous saying

902
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,320
Speaker 1: you're either coaching it allowing it to happen, And clearly

903
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,439
Speaker 1: the Eagles are allowing this to happen weekend week out,

904
00:46:55,680 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 1: weekend week out, because it is a absolute bockle right

905
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 1: now for a guy who I thought if you would

906
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 1: ask me three or four years ago, I'm like, this

907
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 1: guy is gonna win m v PS. This guy's gonna

908
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: dominate in this league. He dominates no one except the

909
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 1: interception Ledger, which he just every week, one or two

910
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 1: every week. You cannot win the You can win a

911
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 1: game or two throughout the year, like Mahomes has a

912
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:24,320
Speaker 1: game where he throws a couple of picks right, or

913
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: even a pick. Last night, they won a game which

914
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,840
Speaker 1: he threw a pick which almost cost him right that

915
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: game Sunday night, going back and forth, ma Homes throws

916
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 1: the bad pick even though it's not even his fault.

917
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 1: But turnover to kill you. You cannot when you don't

918
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: have a when you're not scoring that many points, turn

919
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 1: the ball over multiple times every again, you have no

920
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 1: shot zero And right now the Eagles, they basically have

921
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,839
Speaker 1: no shot. Before the game even starts, because you're like, yeah,

922
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna turn it over. A couple of times, we're screwed,

923
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 1: and they just constantly look up there down in the

924
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and then he's trying to play hero ball,

925
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 1: and then he usually throws another pick. Just rinse, wash, repeat.

926
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 1: It's crazy. I never thought i'd see it. Not advocating

927
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 1: for Doug to lose his job, but if you if

928
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 1: you think about it from an owner's perspective, it looks

929
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 1: worse every week. So why why would it change this offseason?

930
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: I don't I don't see why it would change because

931
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 1: every time I watched him play, it's just an absolute

932
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 1: train wreck. Okay, let's bang out a couple of quick

933
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 1: mail bag questions. Add John Middlecoff Instagram slide up in

934
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,879
Speaker 1: those d m s and uh, and leave a little

935
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 1: question for me. I think I might do a big

936
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:35,799
Speaker 1: mail bag on Friday. I'm probably gonna record the podcast

937
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:39,359
Speaker 1: before Thursday, so send me a mail bag question if

938
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 1: you want to answer. I'll do a big section for

939
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 1: the Friday podcast, but you gotta send it to me

940
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:46,359
Speaker 1: in the next you know, twenty four hours, and I'll

941
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 1: probably record it on Wednesday for a little uh for

942
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 1: the Friday Show. I agree Rivers has consistency issues, but

943
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 1: the Colts have beat the Packers and Titans back to

944
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: back on our seven and three. Rivers cost the Colts

945
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 1: then was in the Jacks game. But still I said

946
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 1: in the preseason that was a ten win team with

947
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 1: Rivers because even older, he's much better than Brissette. I

948
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 1: tend to agree. Kind of cool how they still use

949
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 1: Jakobe though. Would it surprise you if the Colts made

950
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: the a f C Championship. Defense is great and team

951
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: is built for colder weather with good defense in the

952
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 1: run game. Thanks love the pod. Well, let's look at

953
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 1: the a f C. I I think you have the

954
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 1: clear too big guns in the Chiefs and the Steelers,

955
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 1: and then you kind of have that next group, which

956
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 1: might just be the Titans and the Colts. I think

957
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: the Titans and the Colts could definitely upset, probably not

958
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, but maybe the Steelers if Roethlisberger's off. Now,

959
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 1: if the Chiefs defense is off like it was against

960
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 1: the Raiders, I would say they definitely could be upset.

961
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:48,800
Speaker 1: But how how would the Rivers expose them? Maybe Tanney

962
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:52,280
Speaker 1: Hill and Derrick Henry could, but probably not so. Probably

963
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,359
Speaker 1: it'd have to be the Steelers in a low scoring game.

964
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 1: That would be the way they get to the f

965
00:49:56,280 --> 00:50:00,120
Speaker 1: C Championship, to go through the Steelers. So basically, if

966
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 1: we look at the playoff format, if it's one through seven,

967
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 1: let's say the Colts finish you know, eleven and five,

968
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: win the division and are the three seed. They play

969
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:12,319
Speaker 1: like the Browns or the Raiders in the first round.

970
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 1: Win that game. Then in the second round, let's say

971
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 1: they play the Steelers or the you know, if they

972
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 1: play the Chiefs. Because of the Chiefs of the two seed,

973
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 1: that would be hard. If somehow the Steelers lose a

974
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: couple of games and they played them, maybe it's possible.

975
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 1: I think the a f C Championship game would be

976
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 1: a little shocking if it isn't Steelers Chiefs. But who

977
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 1: you know, if the Chiefs get if somehow get the

978
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:36,359
Speaker 1: one seed and the Steelers are the two seed, it's

979
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 1: not a lock that the Steelers would win both games.

980
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: But their defense, they're they're good. I'm not trying to

981
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 1: diminish the Steelers at all. It's just harder if you're

982
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:46,440
Speaker 1: the two seed. Even the Chiefs you gotta win multiple

983
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: games before you get to the a f C. You know,

984
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,319
Speaker 1: back in the day, back in the day, I mean

985
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 1: literally this year earlier in two thow the one and

986
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 1: two seed gotta buy. So think about the Chiefs. They

987
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: just won the Super Bowl. They were the two seeds.

988
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:00,439
Speaker 1: You know, they were the two seat to get eleven

989
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:02,799
Speaker 1: and five last year, remember because of the Patriots lost

990
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: Week seventeen to the Dolphins. So the page. So the

991
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 1: Chiefs with the two seeds being the two seeds, pretty

992
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 1: big deal. I mean it was. What's the difference this

993
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 1: year with Lamar Jackson compared to last year? Why does

994
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: he suck? I think a big reason. He just can't

995
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 1: run wild against everybody. Uh, they're just taking away the

996
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 1: run game and making him pass and he can't do it.

997
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 1: He can't consistently pass. And their team, for just whatever reason,

998
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 1: isn't his potent. I think Ronnie Stanley, when you lose

999
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 1: an elite player, it's one thing to lose a guarter,

1000
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:37,280
Speaker 1: a center. When you lose a tackle, that's a problem.

1001
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 1: I mean, losing your left tackle is a big deal.

1002
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 1: There's a reason left tackles make twenty plus million dollars

1003
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:46,840
Speaker 1: a year that they matter. You know that that was

1004
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 1: a major, major injury. And I just think Lamar kind

1005
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 1: of You know, band aidd some of his flaws last

1006
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 1: year because they ran wild, and he ran wild. You

1007
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: don't get to just run wild every year. The reason

1008
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's kicking everyone's asses because he's throwing the ball.

1009
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 1: He also makes some runs right to piggyback on top

1010
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,399
Speaker 1: of that. But like when I watched Kyler, the reason

1011
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 1: he's so dynamic his right arm, his legs are special,

1012
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 1: but he kills people throwing the ball, beautiful deep ball,

1013
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 1: passer throw strikes. In that game last week when he

1014
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 1: was playing Seattle, he just made some big time throws.

1015
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 1: It's a throwing league, man, it's not a running league.

1016
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 1: If you wanna, you know that stuff works at Navy

1017
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:35,799
Speaker 1: and Army. It doesn't work in the pros. Quick question

1018
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 1: for the Pod. Your top three or five quarterbacks you

1019
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 1: think would have been better careers if not drafted by

1020
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 1: the teams they went to. I think Brady Quinn would

1021
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:47,399
Speaker 1: have been great elsewhere. Colt McCoy could have been, Kirk

1022
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 1: Cousins thinks. Other names that come to mind, David Carr,

1023
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 1: Alex Smith, RG, three, Matt Liner. I think Matt Liner

1024
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 1: was probably not made for the NFL, really weak arm

1025
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 1: and not a great athlete. Rge red his problem wasn't talented,

1026
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 1: was just a enormous ego, and he got injured so

1027
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 1: that one. If r G three had been healthy, he

1028
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 1: would have been a productive player. Alex Smith's career turned

1029
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: out pretty well, you know, once hardball got there, took

1030
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 1: him to an NFC championship, got traded to Andy one

1031
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,879
Speaker 1: playoff games one every year, like made a pro bowler two.

1032
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,359
Speaker 1: I think Alex Smith's career has been pretty positive, made

1033
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 1: a ton of money besides his leg falling off, and

1034
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:29,279
Speaker 1: luckily he's able to battle through it because he's one

1035
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 1: of the more mentally tough guys in the history of

1036
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: the league. But I don't view Alex Smith's career as

1037
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 1: like a failure by any means. Um Brady Quinn, I'll

1038
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,360
Speaker 1: be honest, I don't watch much Notre Dame football, so

1039
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 1: I don't have a great feel for remember watching him

1040
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 1: against sc But like I was in college drinking, I

1041
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 1: don't I wasn't like a scout then. I don't really know,

1042
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 1: I would say in recent memory, I listen I'm a

1043
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 1: big believer just in life care him always rises. I

1044
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,239
Speaker 1: I really believe that, Like I think McCoy has a

1045
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: weak arm, like Kirk Cousins is a much better arm.

1046
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins just throws the ball a lot better than

1047
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:13,799
Speaker 1: Colt McCoy. You watch Kirk Cousins throw now, I didn't

1048
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:15,440
Speaker 1: used to think this three or four years ago. His

1049
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 1: arm is above average. I mean he throws some strikes

1050
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:21,320
Speaker 1: to Finland and Justin Jefferson. Now, I wouldn't say he

1051
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 1: has like he's not ma Homes or anything, but he's

1052
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:26,480
Speaker 1: got a good arm. Kirk Cousins like I, I just

1053
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 1: don't think Colt McCoy could have turned into Kirk Cousins.

1054
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:32,720
Speaker 1: Maybe Brady Quinn could have. Maybe, but again I struggle.

1055
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:36,359
Speaker 1: I didn't watch him that much. Part of quarterback man

1056
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,800
Speaker 1: a big separating factor is like work ethic, your mind.

1057
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 1: You kind of come become your own coach, manipulating defenses.

1058
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:47,800
Speaker 1: Like I think most guys that would have had success

1059
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 1: have success. I honestly believe that maybe there are a

1060
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:57,759
Speaker 1: few you know guys, but I don't know. Like I

1061
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 1: think Johnny Manzel would have failed wherever he went. R

1062
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 1: G three, but RG three got hurt. Like ur, RG

1063
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 1: three didn't fail because he just sucked. He sucked AF three.

1064
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 1: He wasn't a dynamic runner. Part of what Maje r

1065
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: G three special was he was a runner and then

1066
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 1: once it kind of he couldn't run, it changed the game.

1067
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 1: I love coach Lafleur, I like most of the Mike

1068
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 1: let me let me restart. I love coach Lafleur, I

1069
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 1: like most didn't love the draft. However, a J. Dillon

1070
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 1: in the second round makes more sense when you realize

1071
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:34,320
Speaker 1: that both Aaron Jones and Jamal Williams are free agents

1072
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:36,759
Speaker 1: after this year and back. He already needed to get

1073
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 1: paid and the cap going down money is going to

1074
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 1: be tight. With that being said, why on earth is

1075
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 1: Lafleur not using a two pound running back on fourth

1076
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: and one at the goal line? Is driving me insane.

1077
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:50,800
Speaker 1: I think sometimes coaches one Lafleur doesn't pick the players

1078
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 1: the GM does. So there's a chance the floor is

1079
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 1: not in love with a J. Dealon. I had a

1080
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:57,920
Speaker 1: good buddy in the NFL when they drafted him, and

1081
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,920
Speaker 1: everyone was shooting on the Packers draft was bro honestly,

1082
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:04,279
Speaker 1: and this guy nails every pick. He's you know, I've

1083
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 1: talked to him for a decade. He knows the stuff.

1084
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:10,920
Speaker 1: He's like, I like that guy. But sometimes, for whatever reason,

1085
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 1: you draft a guy and you get him in your building.

1086
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:15,439
Speaker 1: You see it all around the league all the time,

1087
00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 1: and that rookie year, especially this year when there wasn't

1088
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 1: training camp, you just kind of get in the doghouse

1089
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 1: and you're just not in the rotation. Whether it's a

1090
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:26,239
Speaker 1: wide receiver, whether it's a running back, especially with the

1091
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:28,799
Speaker 1: head coach and he's a play caller, that guy can

1092
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:30,840
Speaker 1: just be out of the loop, and it can be

1093
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 1: the opposite, like I see it with Kyle Shannon with

1094
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:35,280
Speaker 1: with Brandon IUK like he he was gonna get Brandon

1095
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 1: I you involved, but like those are his guys. Maybe

1096
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:41,520
Speaker 1: A J. Dillon isn't exactly the floors guy. But like

1097
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 1: you said, the thing is, they didn't draft A J.

1098
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 1: Dillon just because they love running backs. Those guys are

1099
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 1: free agents and they're not gonna play. Pay Aaron Jones

1100
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 1: ten million dollars a year. Maybe keep Jamal Adams or

1101
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:55,799
Speaker 1: Jamal excuse me, Jamal Williams for cheaper, but Aaron Jones

1102
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:57,720
Speaker 1: gonna get paid. Aaron jon is a really good player,

1103
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 1: so that I just think that he probably doesn't trust them.

1104
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 1: Maybe the guy doesn't know the offense some of these games,

1105
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,800
Speaker 1: Like I think Matt Lafour views every game, especially against

1106
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:10,400
Speaker 1: good teams, Like when you're playing the Colts, it's like,

1107
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:13,040
Speaker 1: that's the super Bowl that week, and you don't put

1108
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:15,480
Speaker 1: guys in the super Bowl you don't trust In football,

1109
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 1: you only play so many games, and when you're a

1110
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 1: good team like Green Bay and you're playing against another

1111
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:22,600
Speaker 1: playoff team, that game, in the heat of the moment,

1112
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 1: feels like the end all be all. It feels like

1113
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 1: you're playing for all the marbles. And I think a

1114
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 1: lot of it comes down to these offensive coaches. When

1115
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:33,640
Speaker 1: they don't trust a player, they just will not put

1116
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 1: him in. They will not put him in now. Sometimes

1117
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 1: like Jonathan Taylor, for example, on the flip side, the

1118
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 1: Colts kind of played him sparingly, then he fumbled and

1119
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 1: he kind of got out of the rotation. But it's

1120
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 1: pretty clear that Frank and Chris are on the same

1121
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 1: page with with Pittman and Jonathan Taylor, like that they're

1122
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 1: gonna get those guys involved now. Pittman got hurt, but

1123
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 1: like they didn't just throw Taylor to the Wolves, like

1124
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:00,160
Speaker 1: they kept using them. And then in the past her

1125
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 1: game he started playing a lot. Trust me, I had

1126
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 1: on my daily fantasy I had Hines. I'm like, give

1127
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 1: behind the ball and they kept giving it to Taylor

1128
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 1: and I'm screaming at the TV. But they believe in them,

1129
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 1: and I do too. I loved him at Wisconsin for

1130
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 1: whatever reason, Like Flora just doesn't believe in the running back.

1131
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 1: I don't know why. How come no one is including

1132
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:21,640
Speaker 1: Big Ben in the MVP discussion. To me, the Steelers

1133
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 1: are go sixteen. No, he has to win it. Yet

1134
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 1: everyone is already coordinating Mahomes as the m v P.

1135
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 1: To the point in the season, an undefeated regular season

1136
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 1: would have meant something for an m v P, wouldn't

1137
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 1: it been his two touchdowns five interceptions. He's been really good,

1138
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 1: Like I just think he's been fantastic. And one thing

1139
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: you know is like their offense last year was a joke, right.

1140
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 1: They were one of the worst offense in the league.

1141
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 1: When Rothsburg got injured, they had no passing game. Mason

1142
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 1: and Dobbs and Duck crewde I guess Dobbs would gone

1143
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 1: Duck Hodges, this guy stink. So yeah, I mean he

1144
00:58:57,360 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 1: if they go sixteen and oh and he throws thirty,

1145
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 1: I've touchdowns, He's gonna have to get some m VP boats.

1146
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 1: I wholeheartedly agree. Hi new to the NFL couple of

1147
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 1: years in Welcome, was watching Kyler and Ruscoe added on

1148
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 1: Thursday and thought, man, this is special to have two

1149
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 1: games of this matchup for the next ten years. Has

1150
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 1: there ever been a similarly exciting interdivision quarterback matchup before?

1151
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 1: Probably not. I mean they're just we're really in the

1152
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 1: age the last decade of these running quarterbacks, and really

1153
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:35,760
Speaker 1: the last four or five years of a lot of

1154
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 1: them coming into the league. Russell has kind of been

1155
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 1: an outli or even the last decade, right r G

1156
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 1: three came in and um, you know, he got hurt,

1157
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 1: he's out. Michael Vick's career just kind of got derailed.

1158
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 1: There haven't been that most of the good quarterbacks. Peyton Rogers,

1159
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 1: I mean scrambles, but he's not a runner. Uh, Brady Rivers,

1160
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 1: Eli Roethlisberger, like for a long period of my time,

1161
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 1: from my life the nineties, definitely the two thousand's, it's

1162
01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:10,160
Speaker 1: a pocket quarterback league. Montana Young f the l way

1163
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 1: like those are the type quarterbacks that thrive. And I

1164
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:16,480
Speaker 1: think it's just changing where we're gonna see more and

1165
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: more Kyler. So it might be the first of its kind.

1166
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 1: I say it all the time. Brady and Manning were

1167
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 1: the bird magic of my life, bird of magic. For

1168
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 1: people that are older than that eighties, it must have

1169
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 1: been special. I I don't. I don't remember it. I

1170
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:31,920
Speaker 1: bare I lived through half of it, but I was

1171
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 1: so young. Manning and Brady took the NFL to another

1172
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 1: level and the rivalry was fantastic. I mean, it's the

1173
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:40,960
Speaker 1: greatest quarterback ever and probably a top five guy ever.

1174
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:43,520
Speaker 1: And they played each other all the time. It was

1175
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 1: just it was elite, and it changed the league. And

1176
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 1: those two guys helped change the league. But those two guys, like,

1177
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:52,520
Speaker 1: you don't see those guys play like that anymore. I

1178
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 1: think we're gonna see maybe not Kyler. I mean, Kyler

1179
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 1: is one of the greatest athletes ever. Right, he was

1180
01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:00,439
Speaker 1: drafted in baseball number one picking. But for ball he's

1181
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 1: five eight. He's a quarterback. Even Russell's five ten. Ironically,

1182
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 1: both are baseball players. But I think we're gonna see

1183
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 1: more and more and more and more. Trevor Lawrences an athlete,

1184
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:14,640
Speaker 1: Justin Fields an athlete. Uh, Trey Lances an athlete. Zack

1185
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:18,200
Speaker 1: Wilson's an athlete. You're just gonna start seeing athletes, man,

1186
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 1: which which is cool. I appreciate everyone listening. Leave uh

1187
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:23,320
Speaker 1: fire in my d ms. You want to get read

1188
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 1: on Friday show and um enjoy the week, Happy Thanksgiving,

1189
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:29,400
Speaker 1: and talk to you soon. See
