Probably ready for 35 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: a new NFC South team, but this probably last year 36 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 1: Tampa's gonna make it. Hopefully no offense Tampa Bay fans. 37 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: I think you guys agree, not a great team. And 38 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 1: a couple of thoughts on Arthur Smith and Dennis Allen, 39 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: Arthur screaming at Dennis Allen at the end of the game, 40 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: Derreck Henry ending the Jags season, which, if you're Mike Tomlin, 41 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: was pretty awesome and because you it led you into 42 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: the playoffs. But the Jags what a letdown. You.

I need you to go 52 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: to your app store, whether you have an iPhone, whether 53 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: you have an iPad, wherever you get your applications, and 54 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,679 Speaker 1: I need you to download a little thing. It's called 55 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: game Time, the official ticketing app of this podcast. Do 56 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: you want to go to one of these playoff games? 57 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: I've been probably to four or five playoff games in 58 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: my life, and a super Bowl, and there's just nothing 59 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: quite like you know, the Super Bowl is a little 60 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: more corporate, which is really fun, especially if you're teams there. 61 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: The one Super Bowl I went to, it was the 62 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: Broncos versus the Panthers. I didn't necessarily, I wasn't rooting 63 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: for either, though I had a lot of money in 64 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: the Broncos, so I kind of was. But I've been 65 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: to Niner playoff games. I've been to the Eagle playoff game, 66 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: and there's something pretty special. So if you get the opportunity, 67 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: if you live and your team is hosting one of 68 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: these playoff games, or your team is going on the 69 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: road and playing in one of these playoff games, I 70 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: highly recommend it. It's just there's it's basically game seven. 71 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: You know, it's the NCAA Tournament Survive Advance. The tension 72 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: is palpable. But I need you to go to game 73 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: time and search those tickets, and when you buy a 74 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: pair of tickets, promo code John. Promo code John, twenty 75 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: dollars off, twenty dollars off. In these inflationary times, though 76 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: inflation they say it's going down, but you go to 77 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: the grocery store, you don't quite see it, but you 78 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: gotta want to save some money twenty dollars off buy 79 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: a pair of tickets game time promo code John that 80 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: was a football game because it felt, honestly, it felt 81 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: the tension of that game, how stressed both coaches look 82 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 1: like the team that lost that game was gonna go 83 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: home and their season was over. Like if you didn't know, 84 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: if you were a serious football fan and you didn't 85 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: have all the scenarios and I just told you as 86 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: you were sitting on the couch, you had it on mute, 87 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: whoever lose this game is gonna go home, you would 88 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: have felt that it was palpable from the television. And 89 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: let's face it, Let's start with the Bills, because there 90 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: was a moment this season when Ty Dunn, who I've 91 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: known for a while, I like Ty Dunn. He wrote 92 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: an article that would have been the definitive piece if 93 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 1: the Bills would have imploded, because at the time I 94 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: think they were like seven and six, maybe they were 95 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: six and six. It was not going well. They're firing 96 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey, they were circling the drain. They were looking 97 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: like a team who was likely, you know, to go 98 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: eight to nine or nine and eight or just missed 99 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: the playoffs, and since then they won five straight and 100 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: now they're eleven and six. Think about this. The Philadelphia Eagles, 101 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: once upon a time were ten and one, the Buffalo 102 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: Bills once upon a time were six and six. They 103 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: ended up with the same record. They're both eleven and six. 104 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: The difference is the Eagles are the five seed and 105 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: the Bills are the two seed. So well, basically if 106 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: they meet the Steelers, and we'll find out on TJ. Watt, 107 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: they're getting another home game. Two home games in Buffalo, 108 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: pretty big deal. So, I mean, what an incredible mid 109 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: season turnaround by the boys in Buffalo, starting with Sean McDermott, 110 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: because after the article came out about the nine to 111 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: eleven pregame speech, even though it was from years ago, 112 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 1: you know, a huge part of that article was him 113 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: just being super tight. You can see it on his 114 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: face a little bit. But here's the one thing I 115 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: like in football, even when you're a great player, you 116 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: have to play under control. And the one Collinsworth was 117 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: comparing Farv to Josh Allen Well, Farv post Holmgren was 118 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 1: a major roller coaster. He wasn't exactly mister MVP still 119 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: a great player at times, but it was hard to 120 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: count on the guy. Why because, as Collins were said, 121 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: he had five interceptions and he still threw another because 122 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: there was no containing him and Josh Allen. The first 123 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: half was insanely reckless, multiple red zone interceptions, the play 124 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: at the end of the half when he throws it 125 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: over the middle where the guy catches it like the 126 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: three or four yard line and gets crushed at the 127 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: one yard line and time runs out, and Sean McDermott 128 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: just said, that's unacceptable. That is not okay, that is reckless. 129 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: That's losing football. You wouldn't get that in basketball. You 130 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: wouldn't treat the two hundred and fifty million dollar player 131 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: like that because optically you're not allowed to, even though 132 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: we're all watching it. And Sean McDermott crushed him at 133 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: halftime on a sideline interview and you know what I said, 134 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: love it because we're all watching it. It's all it's 135 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: crumbling in front of our eyes. And this used to 136 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: happen with Russell Wilson in Seattle. Everyone just went against 137 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: Pete right post lob Everyone just called Pete the village idiot. 138 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: Let Russ Cook the problem is you can't just depend 139 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: on that level of play, and Josh Allen is a 140 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: version like Russ times five because of his physicality as 141 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: a runner, and he's much more reckless of the football, 142 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: is why he is compared to Farv sometimes right, but 143 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: he's built more like John Elway. And I thought in 144 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: that first half, I'm like, the Bills are gonna lose 145 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: his game and the big reason is gonna be Josh 146 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: Allen and it sucks because I love the guy. I 147 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: enjoy watching him. And then in the second half, once 148 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: they had that punt return, it was on like Donkey 149 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: Kong and that guy took over and he had a 150 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: run in that game that looked like Cam Newton on 151 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: the play where they called the defensive holding to Jalen Ramsey. 152 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: But part of football, unlike these other sports, is you 153 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: need your head coach to be on your best player 154 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: because your best player can play out of control. And 155 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: in the sport of football, you get one game. You 156 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: don't get seven game series. I don't get to make 157 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: an error in the third inning and have it nacostas 158 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 1: if I throw a bad pick in the red zone 159 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: that might lose us the game. This was not some 160 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: thirty five to thirty shootout. This was a game that, honestly, 161 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: once it got to fourteen fourteen, like three points might 162 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: decide this thing. It was you know, both sides had 163 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: a ton of dudes in the injury tent, in the 164 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: locker room. They were losing guys. They was dropping like flies. 165 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: So holding on to that football. Honestly, what saved him 166 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: is those those turnovers happened in the first half, because 167 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: if that happens in the second half, they lose the game. 168 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: You can't overcome that. So sometimes in a weird way, 169 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: turning the ball over, even if it is an incredibly 170 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: stupid turnover, as those interceptions were, it's easier to overcome 171 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 1: it happens in the first quarter, then it happens in 172 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 1: the third of the fourth. But you could tell Sean 173 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: was hot, and Sean took a lot of shit this year. Like, 174 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: Sean's clearly pretty good at his job, right, he just is. 175 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 1: Now he's a defensive coach. Can he get a little tight? 176 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: Even the fourth down play call where there's nothing like 177 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: trying to do the tush push that only the Eagles 178 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: can pull off, and everyone attempts to copy it, even 179 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: if you have Josh Allen, who probably come bind with 180 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: Jalen has to be one of the stronger, more powerful 181 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: guys at the position in the NFL. It didn't look 182 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: like he got it. Maybe got it they blew the 183 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: whistle for forward progress. But here's what I do know 184 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: is the officiating crew had absolutely no clue where to 185 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: spot it. Now. They it looked like they kind of 186 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: got it right, but completely guessing. I mean, just pulling 187 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 1: out of their ass. Yeah right, here's cool. I mean, 188 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: this is this is for the division on the line. 189 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: You got McDaniel and Fangio over there, their heart just 190 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 1: beating out of their chest and the rest is like, oh, 191 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: just put it right here. You're like, what, this is crazy? 192 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: That is one crazy element of the sport is on 193 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: the short yarded situations when there is I don't even 194 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 1: know how many pounds of human between the five offensive linemen, 195 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: between all the defensive linemen, the linebackers, the quarterback, no 196 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: one can see anything. It's like, let's just maybe here 197 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: even the play before the details when it comes to aiating, 198 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: if you and I in our given jobs were as 199 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: poor with the details as the officials in the National 200 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: Football League, we'd all be on the streets, we'd all 201 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: be in the gutter. Because there was a play a 202 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 1: couple before the fourth down where Josh Allen. They run 203 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 1: a quarterback like power sweep. He's smart enough to realize 204 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: I can't go out of bounds. He goes down. The 205 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,319 Speaker 1: problem was his hand touched the white The clock should 206 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 1: have stopped. But it's no one fucking paying attention, Like, 207 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 1: isn't that your job to watch the sideline? No one 208 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: paying attention. Now, you could argue the Dolphins in a 209 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: position they don't have any timeout, so they can't challenge it. 210 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: So part of it's on the Dolphins. Anytime late in 211 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 1: the game you are in a spot where you can't 212 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: challenge because you have no timeouts with under four minutes left, 213 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: that is on your operation. So they deserve some criticism there. 214 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: But like, it shouldn't be their fault that the refs 215 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: miss a guy touching out of bounds. But tonight it 216 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: wasn't about the refs because Josh Allen contained himself from 217 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: the second half. I would imagine Sean McDermott got on 218 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: him at halftime and then defensively. I'm gonna read you 219 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: the sequence in the second half for the Dolphins, because 220 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: all I hear is how great this offense is. And 221 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: listen for a lot of games this year, They've scored 222 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: a lot of points, They've scored a lot of touchdowns. 223 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: You know, they've accumulated a lot of yards. But when 224 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 1: it really mattled for all the fucking marbles, because I 225 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 1: got news for you. This team is not going on 226 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: the road to Kansas City. I don't care if Brett 227 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,319 Speaker 1: Veach is playing wide receiver he played at Delaware for 228 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. The stat speaks for itself. They haven't won 229 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: a game and under like forty degrees in decades. I 230 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: was just out eating dinner watching the fourth quarter of 231 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: my girlfriend and I kind of told her that stat. 232 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: I'm like, they better win this game because they are 233 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: not going on the road. She's like, well why not. 234 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: I'm like, because they have to go on the road 235 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: to cold weather places and this franchise doesn't do it. 236 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: So oh, it makes total sense. How in Miami you're 237 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: gonna to play in all those cold weather cities? Hint, 238 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: you don't. Well, here's what they did in the second half. 239 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: Three plays nine yards punt, four plays eleven yards punt, 240 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: that's the one they took to the house, tying the game. 241 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: Three plays, one yard punt, three plays, three yards punt, 242 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: and then the last series he threw a pick and 243 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: he easily could have thrown a pick a couple of plays. 244 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: Here's what I will say about Tua. He is better 245 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: than I thought he would be last year. I thought 246 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: he was closer to a below average player. He's solid, 247 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: he really is solid. But tonight you saw the difference 248 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: of an absolute thoroughbread who can drive you nuts, who 249 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: can be reckless, but who is a two hundred and 250 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 1: fifty million dollar player, And then you saw Tuoa. He's 251 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: pretty good. And listen, he made some really nice passes 252 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:50,599 Speaker 1: that Tyreek uncharacteristically dropped because I was thinking tonight I 253 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: would argue this. I think he's the third best wide 254 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: receiver I've ever seen. Now, the argument tonight with the 255 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: drops probably not in my favor. But I don't think 256 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: there's ever been a guy Randy Moss. No one's gone 257 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: deep better. I mean, how many guys besides like Jerry Rice, 258 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: Marvin Harritt is a short list. Antonio Brown is prime 259 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: that could get open with these any round go routes. 260 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: Hitch routs, ins outs, comebacks, deep outs, you name it. 261 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: I mean wheel routes. Put him in the backfield there 262 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: he wants to get open. He can get open. On 263 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: every single play. He puts some balls on the ground 264 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: and it cost him, but ultimately tou if the play 265 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: isn't scheme perfectly. And Tyreek, who is truly in my opinion, 266 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: he's the third best wide receiver I've ever seen, Jerry Rice, 267 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: Randy Moss him, I'd have him above Terrell Owens because 268 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: it seems like, you know, this guy is a consistent winner. 269 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: Terrell Owens drove everyone nuts, and you could say, like 270 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: Tyreek might look at me like, wait, you're putting Randy 271 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: over me. How many championships second I have. Let's never 272 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: forget I helped win one. And I like him one 273 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: of the greatest offense ever. So was I remember watching 274 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: me play so like he'd have an argument. His career 275 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: does not look like he's slowing down. But the one 276 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: thing with two is that ball floats. And anytime your 277 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: ball floats, and that's Miami where the weather tonight clearly 278 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: wasn't that bad. What do you think happened when that 279 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: floats in freezing temperatures and when the wind's blowing, it's 280 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: just going to be very difficult to win. Now, I'm 281 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: not acting like I would get rid of Toua, but 282 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: it just when I read people saying that, like, oh, 283 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: you just gotta pay him, pay him what? Pay him? What? 284 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: That's my question? Like can I give him thirty million 285 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: dollars a year? Like if I gotta give him, if 286 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: I gotta give the Jalen Hurts contract, which let's face it, 287 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: a lot of people are like, are are we cool 288 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: with this? Is this all right? Are we sure? And 289 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: I like Jalen, and I would take Jalen over Tua 290 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: every day of the week and twice on Sundays. But 291 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: let's face it, this last couple of months, whether he's 292 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: hurt knee, now, he's got dislocated fingers, it's just I 293 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: promise you. No one's told me this, But Howie and 294 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: Jeffrey don't sleep perfectly every night knowing that Jalen Hurts 295 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: contract right now. They're hoping it is okay. No one 296 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: hopes what youh Allen, No one hopes. With Patrick Mahomes, 297 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: they would sign that every single day of the week, 298 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: even after those picks were fine, Josh gonna be all right, 299 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: He's gonna figure it out. You just don't think that 300 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: with Tua And to me, like listen, Vic Fangio is 301 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: an elite defensive coordinator. Miami is now a well run 302 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: operation a lot like the Bills forever with Belichick and Brady. Listen, 303 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: it went viral probably a couple months ago when Brady 304 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: made those comments about the NFL not being as tough 305 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: as it once was, Right, it just maybe I forget 306 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: the exact word and verbage you used, but basically like 307 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: the play's never been worse, just kind of talking shit 308 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: about today's NFL, and Alex Smith chimed back immediately and 309 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: was like, yeah, your division really sucked, and it was like, well, Alex, 310 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: I watched him play you a lot. I watched him 311 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: play everyone else who was good Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Denver with Peyton, 312 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: Indie with Peyton and beat them all consistently. Now the 313 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: one thing they benefited a lot is Miami Buffalo and 314 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 1: obviously the Jets, for the totality of Brady and Belichick's 315 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 1: time together was pretty consistently in f in that well run. 316 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: Now Buffalo is really well run now Miami looks really 317 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 1: well run. The difference though, of the two franchises because listen, 318 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 1: John mcdermot's proven to be a really good coach. Mike 319 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: McDaniel through two years, proven to be a really good coach. 320 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: The quarterback is kind of the separate We talked about 321 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 1: it last night on the pod is Listen, I think 322 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: Demko's a rocket ship. I was with the Eagles when 323 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: we traded for him after he tore his achilles. He 324 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: was never the same as a player, but a huge 325 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: reason we traded for him was the character, the leadership, 326 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 1: just the total package. And if he wanted a coach 327 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: like he was gonna become what he became. He turned 328 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: out to be a coach and look what he is. 329 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 1: But Tamiko with an average quarterback is not in the 330 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: playoffs to be a good coach. Like Listen, Phil Jackson's 331 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 1: an awesome coach, but without Kobe, Shack and Michael I'm 332 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: sorry if I give him a couple of random NBA players, 333 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: he ain't winning championships. Right. Bill Walsh needed Joe Montana, 334 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: Belichick needed Brady. It's the way the sport works. And 335 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 1: to me, McDaniel, there is a ceiling on what they're doing. 336 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: As long as they're with Tua. The problem is they're 337 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: in the spot where he's good enough that you can't 338 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: just randomly replace him, so you're kind of stuck with him. 339 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: But now we're talking money, and you know, you saw Burrow, 340 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 1: you saw Herbert get extended. He proved he could be durable, 341 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: and he definitely proved that he could be good enough 342 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 1: to get you back to the playoffs. But part of 343 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 1: the reason Jalen got a lot is he outdueled Mahomes 344 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, Right, he won multiple playoff games. 345 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: What's gonna happen when you're one and done in Kansas 346 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 1: City and you lose like thirteen to six in negative 347 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 1: ten degrees. Right, So I think the Dolphins have a 348 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 1: problem when it comes to their quarterback. Now, you could 349 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 1: argue it's a first class problem. It's a good problem 350 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 1: because they can still win with it. But in football, 351 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: this is a business. This isn't Peewee's. We're not playing 352 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 1: fantasy like contra accent. This is real life. You get 353 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 1: a contract four years, you pick up a fifth year option. Well, 354 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 1: this is fourth year. Next year is a fifth year option. Ideally, 355 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,360 Speaker 1: you don't want to play guys on a fifth year 356 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: option because it's all guaranteed, it all hit your cap 357 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: the same. It's why you extend guys so you can, 358 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 1: you know, uh, basically manipulate the money on the books. 359 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: When you franchise a guy or that they play on 360 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,239 Speaker 1: the fifth year option. There's no manipulating the books. If 361 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: the number is twenty eight million or thirty two million 362 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: or eighteen million, that's the number on the books. Right. 363 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: A lot of guys signed, like, oh, so and so 364 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,919 Speaker 1: signed for you know, one hundred and twenty million dollars, 365 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: and they're like, what's this cap hit? Oh, it's eleven 366 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 1: million dollars this year. Right. It's why the franchise tag. 367 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: A lot of teams attempt to avoid it at all 368 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: costs because you don't want to carry a big number 369 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,959 Speaker 1: for a player, especially when it's a quarterback on your 370 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: salary cap, because nothing you can do about it. The 371 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,199 Speaker 1: number is the number. Just thirty million is thirty million. Like, 372 00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: look around a lot of these quarterbacks right now, I 373 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,239 Speaker 1: bet they're cap hits. Aren't thirty million dollars even if 374 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: they have huge money. Deshaun Watson signed for two hundred 375 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 1: and thirty million dollars all guaranteed. His cap hit this 376 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: year was nineteen million dollars. So the TUA thing becomes 377 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: complicated moving forward. And I don't like them at all 378 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: this week, and it props the bills. And this is 379 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: the thing about football, you know, I say it all 380 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: the time. Most of our jobs, right, you're just kind 381 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: of worried about you. You're kind of worried about you, 382 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: whether you work in an office setting, no matter what 383 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,640 Speaker 1: you do right, even if you know as the team 384 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: does well, as the company does well, but you're really 385 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: just focused on yourself. Football is the ultimate team sports. 386 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: So even if you are focused on your production and 387 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: doing your job, it's about the totality of the group. 388 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 1: And it's why it's so easy to insulate yourself if 389 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: you do all like each other and you do have 390 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: the talent when crazy shit happens. And that article was 391 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: pretty crazy. I mean it was just it talked a 392 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: lot of shit about it from a lot of people. 393 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't tie down's not making the stuff up, 394 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: but they rallied around them. If they didn't like the guy, 395 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: they would have gone the other way. But they just 396 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 1: rattled off win after win after win after win after win, 397 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 1: and now they're fucking hosting back to back playoff games. 398 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: If they handle business, which I expect them to do 399 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 1: against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and let's talk about that a 400 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,719 Speaker 1: little bit. I'll just fly through the wildcard games. The 401 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: wild Card Weekend or they're calling it, like, forget the 402 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: name Crazy Wildcard Weekend or Super Wildcard Weekend. It's just 403 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 1: Wildcard Weekend. Cleveland at Houston. Like I said, Houston's an 404 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: amazing story. They've had an awesome year and CJ. Stroud 405 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 1: and Demiko, if they were a stock, I would find 406 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 1: a way to bet six figures on them right now. 407 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 1: But I think it ends, and I think they lose, 408 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: and I think Cleveland is a tough matchup because defensively, 409 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz, the physicality, it's a little different animal than Indy, 410 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: who I got news for you. Their defense sucks. So 411 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: I like Cleveland in that spot. Now the wild card 412 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 1: is Flaco. Flaco's had a remarkable year and his comeback 413 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: story is if DeMar hadn't taken on death and beaten it, 414 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: literally overcame death, Flacco wouldn't win the Comeback Award. They 415 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: might rename it Joe Flacco. It's one of the great 416 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 1: comeback stories I've ever seen. Thirty eight to thirty nine 417 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 1: years old, hadn't been good for five years, was on 418 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 1: the fucking couch, was taking his kids to school every day. 419 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: Played in the league last year, so it wasn't like 420 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: he'd been out of the league a couple of years. 421 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,360 Speaker 1: Was literally on the Jets, looked terrible a couple years ago, 422 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: was on the Broncos. Looked terrible, looked awful. And he 423 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: comes in. He's just throwing touchdowns after touchdowns, leading a 424 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: team that was about to implode because of all the 425 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 1: quarterback injuries to the playoffs easily or even in Week eighteen, 426 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: they didn't even have to try. So you never know. 427 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 1: Maybe he has a clunker in him. If he has 428 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 1: a clunker, CJ's rolling, maybe they could pull an upset 429 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: because I think the Browns are favored. But it's like 430 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: minus one and a half. But I think I like 431 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 1: Cleveland in that spot. Miami at Kansas, I couldn't like 432 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 1: Kansas City anymore in this spot. I don't care how 433 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: crappy their wide receivers are. I don't care how weird 434 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 1: this season has been. Kansas City is not losing at 435 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 1: home in freezing temperatures. To Mike McDaniel and TUA, this 436 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: offense isn't set up to go in that environment. So 437 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: I'm shorting the Dolphins hard in that spot. I don't like. 438 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: I love the Chiefs. This weekend, Bill's at the Steelers. 439 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 1: As of recording this, I don't know TJ watts status. 440 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: I think it's fair to assume he will attempt to 441 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: play if he's able to move around. Obviously, when you 442 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 1: sprain your MCL it's a problem. So I mean, obviously 443 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: there's a good chance he doesn't play. I said it 444 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: from the jump. The Steelers never should have been in 445 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: that position. They should have been in a position that 446 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 1: TJ didn't even need to dress. Now, obviously they had 447 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: to win to just give themselves a chance, and then 448 00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: today the Titans took care of business. But I think 449 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: the Steelers a lot like the Dolphins. Are one in audios, 450 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 1: it's been fun, See you later, Green Bay at Dallas. Uh, 451 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: this is a ratings bonanza. I mean these are obviously 452 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are the biggest brand. Packers are a top 453 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: five brand. I think Packers are about to run into 454 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: a buzzsaw. And as I told Colin earlier today, Jordan 455 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 1: Love is sweet. Jordan Love is so much better than 456 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: I ever thought he could be after he had like 457 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,199 Speaker 1: his first good game. Obviously early on in the season, 458 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: I probably talked a lot of shit. He was terrible. Well, 459 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: he hadn't played, and I probably jumped the gun. But 460 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: it's football. You can only give an opinion based on 461 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: the games you see. The second half of the season, 462 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 1: that kid has fucking been awesome. He has looked like 463 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: a top ten NFL quarterback today what he did to 464 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,120 Speaker 1: the bit. I love the Packers this weekend. One, Justin 465 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: Fields can't throw from within the pocket. He's thrown five 466 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,239 Speaker 1: touchdowns since the middle of November. Everyone given, you know, 467 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: the anointing the Bears like, have you seen who they're playing? One? 468 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: And offensively, are you guys out of your mind? Guys 469 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: is not gonna be on the team next year. I 470 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 1: bet on them simply because one it was in Green 471 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: Bay and two I just thought that the Packers had 472 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 1: a huge quarterback advantage and it was on full display today. 473 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 1: Now I think the Packers are gonna run out of 474 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,919 Speaker 1: magic here. I think this is a tough matchup in 475 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,679 Speaker 1: the Dome. Obviously, the Cowboys played better there. I think 476 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: Dallas lights them up because I don't think the Packers 477 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: have any chance to stop him. I do expect Jordan 478 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: Love to make a couple of plays. If I had 479 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: to make an early prediction, thirty five to twenty Rams 480 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 1: at Detroit. I got to know who's healthy for Detroit. 481 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: That's my first day because every time I looked up 482 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: today and I had him in one of the boxes. 483 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 1: Because their game didn't matter. Dan Campbell thought it mattered. 484 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,360 Speaker 1: They looked like they were losing a guy every other play, 485 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 1: even the guys they didn't necessarily lose, like Saint Brown's, 486 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: you know, crutching off the field. So I I'm not 487 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: just gonna pick the Rams yet because I think a 488 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: lot of people are, but I understand leaning that way. 489 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: I do think everyone wants to pick against the Eagles, 490 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: and I think this because the Eagles were playing so shitty. 491 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: They throw him on Monday night because ideally you would 492 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: not want to play on Monday night football. But the 493 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 1: Eagles don't deserve to play anywhere that they want to play. 494 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: And I think Nick Sirianni is in major trouble. And 495 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 1: I've been saying this from the jump. I told Colin this. 496 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: I believe this to my core. I am not looking 497 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: for a CEO in the NFL who is forty years old. 498 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,400 Speaker 1: I'm hiring you one because I think you can evolve 499 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: as the leader of the entire team if you've never 500 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 1: been a head coach, and most young coaches have never 501 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: done that, but because you have an expertise. I watch 502 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur this season, especially the second half, call plays 503 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: with his young quarterback, and go, you know what Matt does? 504 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: He impacts every freaking game. I watched Eberflus have to 505 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: fire his buddy because who knows what happened? Take over 506 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 1: the defense, they trade for Montest sweat, and you go, 507 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: you know what? Is ebra flu? Some great head coach? 508 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 1: No clue? But is he a good defensive coordinator? Yeah? 509 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: He is. I like my I watch Sean McVay and 510 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: Kyle Shian with backup quarterbacks today to call plays against 511 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: each other. I like my young coaches to call plays. 512 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: I don't even think that's too much to ask. Why 513 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: am I hiring you to lead the group? If I 514 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: wanted a leader, I'd go ask Warren Buffett, if he 515 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: has a good leader, like I did, go hire a 516 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: bunch of coordinators. I just do not know what Nick 517 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: Sirianni does, No freaking clue. None. Someone dm me the 518 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: other day he's like, you know, you threw out, like 519 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: you know, he's kind of like Tomlin or Harbaugh in 520 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: terms of just leading the crew. It's criminal to compare 521 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,360 Speaker 1: him to those two guys who have both been doing 522 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 1: it for a combined like thirty plus years. Is Nick 523 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 1: Sirianni some great motivator, because sure as hell doesn't look 524 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: like it right now. And I listen, I got nothing 525 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: against him. I'm not trying to crush him. This isn't personal, right, 526 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 1: I just I just don't know what he's doing. If 527 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: I was Jeffrey Lua, I just what's going on here? 528 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: Because I watched the offensive coordinator, which is his side 529 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: of the ball, go to Indy and him and Gardner 530 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: Minshew won two less games than us, and if it 531 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: wasn't for the running back dropping the ball, they would 532 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: have lost one less game than us. So the Colts 533 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 1: team and I understand divisions, and you know the Eagle schedule. Listen, 534 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's apples and apples. But the point 535 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,120 Speaker 1: of the story is you're telling me that Colts game, 536 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 1: that Colts team was one drop pass potentially away from 537 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,959 Speaker 1: ten wins, and we just won fucking eleven. I got 538 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: a two hundred and fifty million dollars quarterback, I have 539 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: the best offensive line in football. I got weapons everywhere. 540 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: I got a high priced defensive line with a bunch 541 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: of high draft picks. What is going on? The Eagles 542 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: have to listen. I've been in that building. Tensions are 543 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: gonna be high this week high now. I don't think 544 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: Tampa could beat him because Baker Mayfield is limping around. 545 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: I don't think Tampa's any good. The crazy thing is 546 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: the best team in that division right now is the Saints. 547 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: You know, if the Saints were going into the playoffs, 548 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 1: they would have more momentum. It's harder to win in 549 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: New Orleans. We saw Tampa last year. I guess this 550 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 1: team is better, but you know, the Cowboys went in there. Now, 551 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, that version of the Cowboys was better than 552 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: this version currently of the Eagles, but won that game 553 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: like seventy five to ten. Remember Dak Through like ten touchdowns, 554 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 1: had the best game of his career. This game could 555 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: be tighter, this game get weird. In any game right now, 556 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: the Eagles play, they can lose. There's no way around that. 557 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: Any game the Philadelphia Eagles play, they can lose. And honestly, 558 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 1: you're not shocked when they're losing the game. I was 559 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: a little shocked today when it got to like twenty 560 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: four nothing. But when it was seven to nothing, It's 561 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: like I could see the Eagles being in for a 562 00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 1: game even when it was fourteen nothing. You're like, I 563 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 1: can see this. Maybe it was seventeen nothing. I forget 564 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: the score sequence. Once got a twenty four to nothing, 565 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: I thought, this is kind of crazy. Are they just 566 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: legitimately not even trying completely mailing it in? Don't coward this. 567 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: Watch football all day to day, most teams playing pretty hard, 568 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: giving it they're all trying. Watch the Ravens yesterday. Think 569 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: about this, the Ravens against the divisional rival, against a 570 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: team they hate. Eagles and the Giants hate each other. 571 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: Ravens and the Steelers really hate each other. Ravens bunch 572 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: of backups. You know what they do with the Steelers. 573 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 1: We're gonna give you all you can handle. We're gonna play. 574 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: You know why, because organizationally, we hold ourselves to high standards. Organizationally, 575 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: when we play a game, whether it's Lamar Jackson, whether 576 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: it's Ray Lewis, or whether it's some practice squad guy 577 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: that gets elevated that most fans have never heard of 578 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: that played it some Division one double a school. That 579 00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,959 Speaker 1: guy is gonna be tasked with playing his balls off 580 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: and doing everything humanly possible to win the game. And 581 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: then you watch Sirianni's team today, You're like, what is 582 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 1: going on? This is an embarrassment. And I'd understand, like 583 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: if they had nothing to play for, But at the time, 584 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: early on in the Cowboy game, they were down like 585 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: ten to seven, Like, hey, Dallas, you guys don't need 586 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 1: to try either. The Eagles done wave the white flag. 587 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: So I just got the Sirianni situation. You lose to Tampa, 588 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: it's all on the table, that's all I'd say. He 589 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: loses to Tampa and he's lost. See they were ten 590 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: to one and now they're eleven and six, so he's 591 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 1: one in five in his last six games. He would 592 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: go one and six in his last seven games and 593 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 1: lose in the first round to Todd Bowles and Baker Mayfield. 594 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: I'd say he'd be in some trouble and another guy 595 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: who's in trouble, and by the time you're listening or 596 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: watching this might be relieved of his duties. I thought 597 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 1: today was an embarrassment for Arthur Smith. I understand in 598 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: Peewe's in high school football, when you're trying to influence 599 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 1: people under eighteen and help give them life lessons. You know, 600 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 1: even though it wouldn't bother me, I get it. You know, 601 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,959 Speaker 1: high school coaches, you don't want to run up the score. 602 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: You know the discrepancy of talent sometimes, but in Division 603 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 1: I football, and definitely in the sport where everyone is 604 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 1: paid a lot of guys paid enormous sums of money, 605 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: there is no such thing as running up the score. 606 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: It does not exist. So even though they went to 607 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: a victory formation and Jamis in the huddle decided to 608 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: get Jamal Williams a touchdown his first of the year, 609 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: I don't care. It should not piss you off because, 610 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: as Jamis said, listen, guys, we were up forty one 611 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 1: to seventeen, forty one to seventeen, and for Arthur Smith 612 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 1: to go to Dennis Allen and honestly kind of pisses 613 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 1: me off that Dennis Allen apologized, even if deep down 614 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: he was mad at Jamis, I would have told Arthur 615 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: Smith kiss my ass. You know why Arthur Smith's really mad. 616 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 1: One he's coaching for his job. And two Dennis Allen 617 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: and Derek Carr just curb stomped him in front of 618 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 1: Arthur Blank who's over eighty, doesn't have that much time left, 619 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 1: has to know his jobs in major trouble. I liked 620 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 1: Arthur Smith while he was in Tennessee. I remember that 621 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 1: stretch of football where they went on the road to 622 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: New England, and they went on the road to Baltimore 623 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 1: and they beat the shit out of Hardball and Bill 624 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 1: Belichick and died the Tom Brady era was an excellent 625 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. As a head coach has been really bad 626 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: and sometimes like listen, his dad created FedEx for nothing. 627 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 1: His dad is an elite CEO. You know what, Arthur 628 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 1: Smith is just a good number two. There's nothing wrong 629 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 1: with that one. He obviously he doesn't family money. Who 630 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: knows how they break it up? Regardless, that doesn't I 631 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 1: see so many people like, oh, his daddy's money, who 632 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: cares like Arthur Smith proved it's not like his dad 633 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: was in football. He was a good NFL coach as 634 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator, awful head coach, and this year was 635 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,360 Speaker 1: really embarrassing what they did with Desmond Ritter. But today 636 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: was the icing on the cake and getting back Jamis 637 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,760 Speaker 1: is trying to be political. Jamis good guy Dennis Allen. 638 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 1: If I was the Saints we missed the playoffs, I 639 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,399 Speaker 1: clearly kind of liked the guy today, Like you think 640 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 1: Sean Payton would have walked up to Arthur Smith, even 641 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,359 Speaker 1: if he was mad at Jamis and said, hey man, 642 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. When Arthur Smith said that's fn BS, Sean 643 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:41,720 Speaker 1: Payton would have said, f you kiss my ass. Because 644 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,280 Speaker 1: Arthur Smith, this is everyone's getting paid. If you can't 645 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: stop me, quit take your team into the locker room. 646 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: This is not the no life lessons on Sunday, There's 647 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 1: no This is all about scoring as many points as 648 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 1: you can, winning as big as you can, especially a 649 00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,839 Speaker 1: guy like Dennis Allen is trying to save his job, 650 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,720 Speaker 1: so Arthur Smith easily gets the loser of the week. 651 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:12,359 Speaker 1: I can't even overstate how just awful that is. If 652 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 1: I was an Atlanta Falcons fan. I would want him 653 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 1: gone so fast Monday morning that that's embarrassing for that 654 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 1: puts a stink on the franchise. That's way he did. 655 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 1: He put a stink on the franchise. And last but 656 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: not least, the Jacks. I've been saying this about Caleb 657 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:41,320 Speaker 1: Williams forever. Hype is something that just grows on itself. 658 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 1: When it comes to athletics, hell, I mean, it happens 659 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 1: in the stock market. We've seen it happen with AI, 660 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,880 Speaker 1: it happens in all sorts of industries. It happens in politics. 661 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 1: It's something that just gains momentum and can't slow down. 662 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 1: And when it comes with prospects, once you hit a 663 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 1: certain kind of threshold, there's no stopping it. Caleb got 664 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,360 Speaker 1: there like a year ago. It's like, this guy's the 665 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 1: number one pick. Can't He's gonna be the number one pick? Happened? 666 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,279 Speaker 1: Was ion happened once upon a time? Like Lebron's and 667 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 1: Bryce Harper's. Some guys live up to it, Andrew Locke, 668 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 1: some guys like tank for Tua. Turns out now you 669 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 1: shouldn't tank for Tua. You'd rather have justin Herbert and 670 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 1: obviously Joe Burrow behead of him, no brainer. The hype 671 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: on Trevor Lawrence is some of the strongest. And this 672 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,239 Speaker 1: is not just media. This is from the NFL we've 673 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 1: ever seen, and he simply hasn't even come close to 674 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,839 Speaker 1: living up to it today. Down the stretch of that game, 675 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 1: he was horrendous. The game ending in completion was something 676 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 1: you'd see like from a third string quarterback. It wasn't 677 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,280 Speaker 1: even close. And I say this all the time because 678 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 1: we're so quick. Well, what's he gonna have to get paid? 679 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:52,879 Speaker 1: How much you're gonna have to pay them? Who cares? 680 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:54,960 Speaker 1: You don't have to payhim yet? Rock Perty, What are 681 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,920 Speaker 1: you gonna have to do once you pay him? He's 682 00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 1: still got two years on his contract. But the hell's 683 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 1: a rush. Patrick Mahomes won an MVP and won a 684 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,440 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Okay, I'll pay the guy. Do you think 685 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 1: the Eagles wish they might have just played it out 686 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 1: with Jalen Hurts? Would they have saved some money? And listen, 687 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 1: I understand why they paid him, but everyone's always in 688 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,360 Speaker 1: a rush because if you pay him early and he 689 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 1: continues to be sweet, you get a discount. Mahomes, Josh Allen. 690 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,760 Speaker 1: But if you hit some bumpy roads, it's an utter disaster. 691 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,160 Speaker 1: And to me, Trevor Lawrence, right now, I'm not even 692 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 1: offering you a contract. I'm picking up the fifth year option. 693 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 1: Like it played itself out, You're not getting a contract offer, 694 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 1: You're under contract. I'm picking up your fifth year option 695 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,920 Speaker 1: and you will play out the fourth year. And if 696 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 1: you ever want that huge money that a lot of 697 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,800 Speaker 1: these guys get, you better start winning some big time games. 698 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 1: You better start playing like the player that you were 699 00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,800 Speaker 1: hyped to be, because right now it's not even remotely close. 700 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 1: You can tell all the coaching, the play I'm just 701 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 1: watching him. A guy can be open and he skips 702 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,439 Speaker 1: the ball. Maybe he's injured, maybe he's not. But it's 703 00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 1: just like it's just not even remotely close to being 704 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 1: good enough. And the Titans to day and the Vrabel 705 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:05,879 Speaker 1: thing is one of the more bizarre things out there 706 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 1: because Titans clearly want him to back. Feels like Vrabel 707 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,360 Speaker 1: doesn't want to be there. He's not gonna get fired, 708 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:12,799 Speaker 1: but he might want to leave. I don't know. We'll 709 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 1: see how this plays out over the next couple days. 710 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: He didn't want to lose a day, and he had 711 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 1: that team ready to go, and they hit the Jags 712 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:25,400 Speaker 1: directly square in the jaw and the Jags folded like 713 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:29,240 Speaker 1: that game felt over. About midway through the game, Derrick Henry, 714 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 1: who clearly just played his last game for the Titans, 715 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,799 Speaker 1: they gave him the mic. After the game, he talked 716 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,520 Speaker 1: to the fans. He called the greatest eight years of 717 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 1: his life. Honestly, he had one of the great four 718 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 1: or five year runs and as a running back I've 719 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,719 Speaker 1: ever seen, especially in this modern era, when no one 720 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 1: runs it, but just an awesome player. He destroyed them today, 721 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,359 Speaker 1: had one hundred and fifty yards and was just man 722 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 1: handling them physically. And the one thing if the Jags 723 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:54,960 Speaker 1: obviously that you know, if they ever want to be 724 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 1: taken seriously, the quarterback has to play at a much 725 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,359 Speaker 1: higher level. And god, there team is soft. I mean 726 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 1: that was I'm glad they lost, though I don't think 727 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:08,720 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh deserved to get in with the Trubisky debacle this season, 728 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 1: I did not want to watch the Jacks again. I 729 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 1: wanted them to go away. So props to the Titans 730 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,759 Speaker 1: for winning that game and allowing us to watch. I 731 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:19,880 Speaker 1: think Bill's hand or Pittsburgh. But that's to me just 732 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 1: a better game for viewing pleasures. Sunday morning.
