Speaker 1: and Chad Milburn and I best bets of the week.

10
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: Good week, But first my top takes. Everybody's got an

11
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: opinion on Aaron Rodgers. So one of the things I've

12
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: realized because I wanted to be Howard Cosell when i

13
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: was eight years old. So I've been really a needed

14
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: since i was seven, eight nine years old, and because

15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: of that, I've gotten pushback, blowback, gotten to arguments, been

16
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: a villain in many parties i've been at. I am

17
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: comfortable with that. I am okay with athletes talking about

18
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: politics and non sports ventures being activists, but just no

19
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: going in. You're going to get the smoke. And even

20
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: in my career as a sports caster in the opinion space,

21
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: about seventy five percent of the people that do it

22
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: don't like the smoke, and they soften up their views

23
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: on the air. Rachel Maddow can handle the smoke. Tucker

24
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: Carlson can handle the smoke. Ted Cruz can handle the smoke.

25
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders can handle the smoke. You know who can't

26
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: Lebron James, who said I hated being a villain when

27
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: he went to Miami, Lebron James, who in the last

28
00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: year has talked less about politics, and you know who

29
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: else doesn't like to smoke. Aaron Rodgers. It doesn't matter

30
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: what you and I think about him being vaccinated or not.

31
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: That's his decision. But Aaron rambling for eighteen minutes on

32
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: Pat McAfee's YouTube page on his show, that's fine, But

33
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: he didn't have the self awareness to realize he's always

34
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: been thin skinned, he's always been sensitive. And you ramble

35
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: for eighteen minutes on something that's not about sports, and

36
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: you're going to get the smoke. And then Aaron finally

37
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: yesterday said I'm not an advocate, I'm not an activist.

38
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 1: I'm an athlete. I'm going to go back to plan

39
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: ball again. I am for the athlete to have an opinion,

40
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: but we live in an incredibly polarized nation, and once

41
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: you move into politics, vaccines, legislation, you're going to get

42
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: the shit kicked out of you. You have to have

43
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: the self awareness to know who I have a chin.

44
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: Aaron's great, he doesn't have a chin. Kevin Durant's great,

45
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: he doesn't have a chin. Lebron's got a stronger chin,

46
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: but not a great chin. That's the reality of it.

47
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what you and I think. What Aaron

48
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 1: told you yesterday on the McAfee show is I don't

49
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: like this. I don't like this at all. I want

50
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: to go back to playing football. I want to talk

51
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: about Urban Meyer, who would arguably the worst roster in

52
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: the NFL and a rookie quarterback beat a great head coach,

53
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: a great roster, and a great quarterback in Josh Allen

54
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: with the probably worst roster in the NFL. Folks, I

55
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: put a wet blanket on it six months ago. A

56
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: month ago, I'll put a wet blanket on it again.

57
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: He's not going to USC, he's not going to LSU.

58
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: He has been paid a fortune. He and his wife

59
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: love Florida, They love that Jacksonville area. And now I

60
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: am not saying after two years. If Urban won two

61
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: game this year and four next year and just it

62
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: didn't work, I could see him saying, you know, I

63
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: love Trevor Lawrence. I want to get the right coaches

64
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: in here. I'm done. You know, give me seventy five

65
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: percent of the money promised. I get it. It would

66
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:19,799
Speaker 1: look too weird for him to leave after one year. Secondly,

67
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: look at Brian Flores right now in Miami. They have

68
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: a much better roster. They are struggling. We love Joe

69
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: Judge in New York. He is struggling. By and large,

70
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:37,679
Speaker 1: You're about as good as your roster. Jacksonville's roster is terrible.

71
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: And this idea, and I've talked about this before, there

72
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: are so many people that cover the NFL that were

73
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: so opposed to Urban Meyer walking in and succeeding early

74
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: that he really entered with an anti Urban agenda from

75
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: a good portion of the NFL writers. I don't know

76
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: how successfully he's going to be. But folks, it's not science,

77
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: it's coaching. Buddy Ryan won a lot of games. Mike

78
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: Ditka won a Super Bowl. These aren't geniuses. Belichick's mom

79
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: spoke seven languages. He's different and therefore has dominated the

80
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: league for twenty years. But the average football coach, for

81
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: anybody listening to me, who's a successful professional, education, law anything,

82
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: had you taken up coaching, you would be as smart

83
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: as a football coach, or perhaps smarter. This idea that

84
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: Urban was going to be overwhelmed by it. My concern

85
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: with urban Meyer was a simple one. Can he build

86
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: a staff? Because I think there were a lot of

87
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: doubts in NFL circles. If this guy could fit, a

88
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: lot of these college guys have failed. So I don't

89
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: love his offensive staff. But this idea yesterday Sean McDermott,

90
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: Bill's Josh Allen. Folks, there's an argument to be made

91
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: that's the best team in the AFC, and Urban Meyer

92
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: beat him with a rookie quarterback and a lousy roster.

93
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: Urban may not work, but we wouldn't give a quarterback

94
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: eight games and bail on him. Why would we give

95
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: a coach building a culture eight games? Just be reasonable,

96
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: just be fair about it. I thought it was funny

97
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: that OBJ once he was no longer remember the Cleveland Browns,

98
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: the first team he mentioned he wanted to play for

99
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: was the Seattle Seahawks, and then yesterday it was reported

100
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: he wants to now play for the Packers. Well, isn't

101
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: that interesting Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, almost every

102
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: receiver in the league wants to play with them, and

103
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: I want to be adopted by Elon Musk. That's not

104
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: really the way it works, ob J, You're really not

105
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: understanding how the game works. They'll get a hold of

106
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: your agent. You won't decide where you land. And I

107
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: think there's a distinction here. Carmelo Anthony is a great example.

108
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: It took Carmelo to get over himself for him to

109
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: really ever over deliver in his career. He was always

110
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: a good score and then he eroded because he never

111
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: took great care of his body and he had injuries

112
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: pile up. And remember when he laughed when it was

113
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: suggested he could come off the bench for Oklahoma City.

114
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: But the truth was that's what he'd become as a player,

115
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: much like Obj has become a number two or three

116
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: receiver on a good team. And so until Carmelo Anthony

117
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: could wrap his arms around what he truly was, which

118
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: is a very productive bench player now with the Lakers.

119
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: Until he could understand that, come to terms with it,

120
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: it wasn't going to work. So Carmelo goes to the Lakers.

121
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: He is now averaging seventeen points a game off the bench.

122
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: He is one of the best bench players in the

123
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: league because he came to terms with what he is.

124
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: OBJ is never healthy. You cannot build a franchise around him.

125
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: He is brittle. He can be on a weak receiving unit,

126
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: a number two on a receiving unit like say the

127
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: Rams Dallas, maybe he's a three. Until he comes to

128
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: terms with that, he's going to be Carmelo Anthony. And

129
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: it took Carmelo about five years from being a starter

130
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: to really not being capable of starting on a top

131
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: team for him to understand it. Obj, you are no

132
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: longer a one. Nobody can build around you. You're simply

133
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: not healthy enough. Hi, it's the herd for Fandel Monday

134
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: night football matchup Rams Niners. Rams are minus four. I

135
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: probably take the Niners plus four. It's a divisional matchup.

136
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: It's perhaps Garoppolo's last start. He's fighting for his job

137
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: in this matchup. Kyle Shanahan has had Sean mcvay's number.

138
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: I do think the Rams were embarrassed. I would not

139
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: be surprised if the Rams won and covered. But listen,

140
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: Same game parlays. There's a lot of different things you

141
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: can go here. I would probably take the forty nine

142
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: ers and the under because I don't think the forty

143
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 1: nine ers gonna win a shoot out, and I think

144
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers know they can't win to shoot out.

145
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,960

168
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 1: So let's start with this. Everybody knows my assertion with Aaron,

169
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: which has always been he's a narcissist, he's into Aaron.

170
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: He's pretty selfish when you can't get along with multiple

171
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: members of your family. I've always been really skeptical and

172
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: his comments about you know, I'm a critical thinker, as

173
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: if anybody that gets a vaccine, you're not a critical thinker.

174
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: The idea that he gave five hundred pages of anti

175
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: vax and ineffective mask that is weird like, and he

176
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: was asked what the NFL thought, and he said, well,

177
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: they thought it was a whack. Yeah. Yeah, that's what

178
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: people do on that have nine followers on Twitter and

179
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: have a name like Jack with thirteen numbers behind it,

180
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: like the people that think they've got the secret remedy.

181
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: It's just incredibly arrogant. Yeah, yeah, it's just incredibly arrogant

182
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 1: the idea. And this isn't just Aaron, it's a lot

183
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: of folks, but folks that think, I mean, it's what

184
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: I would ask pardon me here the fuck do you

185
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: think people are doing for eight years in medical school

186
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: playing candy crush Like these folks that are acting like

187
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: I've solved it, Well, what'd you do? I dedicated a weekend,

188
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: you dedicated a weekend. These poor suckers are doing forty

189
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 1: hour rotations or in a lab or conducting experiments. And

190
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: it's just I would never and it's so odd that

191
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: people have gone this route on science and medicine. Could

192
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 1: you imagine if I went I can't. I don't even

193
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: know what a good comp is, but I go to

194
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: the mechanic and I'm like, hey, you rebuilt that engine wrong.

195
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: How do you know I watched a YouTube video? What like? No,

196
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 1: he's an expert, he's trained. I just can't believe the

197
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: arrogance of guys. And let me say something else about it,

198
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: real quick. If Aaron Rodgers actually thought it discovered something vaccines,

199
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: it's incredibly selfish. Do not share it with the world,

200
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: Like you've cracked something. Evidently you tell everyone. Don't be kgo.

201
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: I'm immunized. I didn't want to say. If you've if

202
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: you've uncovered one of the greatest conspiracies in the history

203
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: of modern America, you should let the world know. But

204
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. There's also coding. When somebody says like Aaron,

205
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: I don't care what anybody thinks, that is code for

206
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: I care what everybody thinks. And Aaron has always been

207
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: super sensitive, so he's gone into hiding. Now, by the way,

208
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: I think this is being lost. The Packers no longer

209
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: have the number one seed in the NFC, Arizona does.

210
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: They will not have the number two seed if the

211
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: Rams win. And by the way, a dome team, a

212
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: dome team Rams, and a warm weather team Tampa could

213
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: have played in January and Lambeau a significant break for

214
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: Green Bay if they lose, so they don't have the

215
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: number one seed, nor perhaps the two seed. If they

216
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 1: lose against Seattle when Aaron can't practice, they're then behind Tampa.

217
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: They're a four seed. By the way, they're gonna be

218
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: behind Tampa. Tampa's schedule the rest of the way. They

219
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: have one team left that you expect to make the playoffs,

220
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: the Bills. Another game against New Orleans maybe they will,

221
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: but that those are only the third toughest game left

222
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: for Tampa's Atlanta. This is and it's unbelievable. I thought

223
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: you might lead with this, Colin. The biggest winner this

224
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: weekend of every football player in the world was Tom Brady.

225
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: He didn't play. Think about it. He's coming off a

226
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: bad game. But think about Brady and the MVP. All right, Well,

227
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: Josh Allen just was awful and they lost. The Jags

228
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: turn the ball over a bunch. Derrick Henry's done for

229
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: the year. Dak Prescott was terrible. Aaron Rodgers missed the game,

230
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: Kyler missed the game and his team won. Lamar. They won.

231
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: Lamar wasn't great. Brady, all of a sudden I think

232
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: has to be the overwhelming MVP favorite. And with the

233
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys losing and the Packers losing, I think the Rams

234
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: and Cardinals. I think that that schedule for both of

235
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: them is tough enough that you've got to think Tampa.

236
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: I feel like Tampa right now. At worst case scenario

237
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: was thirteen and four, and it looks like Brady's gonna

238
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: be the MVP and Tampa's gonna be the one seed.

239
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. The Bucks don't play this week and then

240
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: they're the biggest winners and Brady's MVP opes skyrocket this week.

241
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: All the other MVP candidates felt Plumber, Rogers missed time.

242
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: Rogers can't win it now, even though he looks more

243
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: like an MVP now than before, because he saw the

244
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: Packers without him. No one's gonna vote for Rodgers after this.

245
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: He misses time because of this nonsense. You know. It's

246
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: one of those things where you know, I talked about

247
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: that I was on with Ethan Strouss the other day.

248
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: He's a yeah, he's a real smart, thoughtful I don't

249
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: view him as contrarian, but he has a lot of

250
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: different views on stuff. In fact, included covering the NBA.

251
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: But you know, we were talking about a lot of things,

252
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: and you know, there's he like you. He makes me think.

253
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: And when I was done with the podcast, I went

254
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: and put something on, you know, my phone for the volume,

255
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: and that one of the great pieces of advice I

256
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: once got in my life is there's enough hurdles and

257
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: obstacles to overcome. Don't get in the way of yourself.

258
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: It's hard enough to overcome the challenges. I really think

259
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: Aaron has gotten in the way of himself. And Bill

260
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: Simmons mentioned this to me the other days. When you

261
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: get older and your single, you don't sacrifice for your kids.

262
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: You don't sacrifice for a wife being married, having kids.

263
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: It's a lot of else, It's a lot of take

264
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: one for the team. Combine that with Aaron is in

265
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 1: the smallest market in America for a pro sports team,

266
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: so he is a messiah. Combine that with they have

267
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: no owner to call him on his shit, and that

268
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: Aaron's gotten into a world where it's Aaron does what

269
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: Aaron wants, Aaron says what Eron wants. Aaron has no pushback,

270
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: and I think he's starting to sort of get in

271
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: his own way. A little bit. Well, listen, I you

272
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: have that. I said this on the show, I think

273
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: on Thursday. I'm not sure when, and I don't know

274
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: if you heard it when you were driving in, but

275
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: I said, I was like, man, Colin's been on this

276
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: corner for the better part of a half decade, that

277
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers has an allergy to criticism, and him doing

278
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: these gymnastics about immunized and the masking at press conferences

279
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: all for one express purpose avoiding criticism is all the

280
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: proof you possibly needed that you were right about that.

281
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: And you know, and I've gone to battle with you

282
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: about the Aaron stuff, but this whole thing is such

283
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: a rough look for him and such. And listen, I

284
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: obviously think that folks who can be vaccinated should be.

285
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: However that the quarterbacks who have chosen not to It's

286
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: been a one day. If that story, then you move on.

287
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: I the Kyrie was a big story because it cost

288
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: him his season, but in the NFL, those guys have

289
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: not been Lamar hasn't been crushed for this. Kurt Cousins,

290
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: we made fun of him for a little bit because

291
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: he was talking about like building plexiglass rooms and stuff.

292
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: But aside from that that was it. But Aaron didn't

293
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: even want to deal with that, and it is to

294
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: me all of it shows. It does give you a window,

295
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: and it's not a flattering one. And on the field,

296
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: if folks want to, you know, don't care about any

297
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: of the vaccine stuff. Just on the field. With the

298
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: way the Chiefs offense look today, does anyone think of

299
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers out there? The Packers aren't eight in one

300
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: right now? Yeah? Does anybody think that? And he's not.

301
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: They weren't and now they're in. You know, it's an

302
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: uphill battle and they likely will have one playoff game

303
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: in Lambeau this year and that's it. Kansas City's interesting

304
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 1: and you see this sometimes, you know, you see these

305
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: Hollywood couples and you're like, oh, she's beautiful and smart

306
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: and he's handsome and smart. This should work. And then

307
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: eighteen months later it's a barnyard musical. We know, Andy,

308
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: you read smart. Mahomes is great, Spag has been a

309
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: good DC, excellent weapons, Travis Kelsey although he had a

310
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: couple drops a day. A lot of these pieces we

311
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: know are exceptional. We've seen them and people say, well,

312
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins isn't here and that's the difference. And I'm like, nah,

313
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not because by the way, Watkins was

314
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: injured two thirds of the time before. It would be

315
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 1: nice to have a secondary receiver, but that's not the answer.

316
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: So when you watch them, you know, Greg ko Sell

317
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 1: told me about two weeks ago, he said he's going

318
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: to be much harder to coach than Justin Herbert because

319
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: he has an inclination and this was the knock on

320
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: him out of college. He likes the home run, he

321
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: likes the big hit. He's not overly patient mechanically. Some

322
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: of his great gifts come when the mechanics erode. You know,

323
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 1: the side arm stoff. What do you see as somebody

324
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: that watches every snap reads everything about the Chiefs. What

325
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: Let's not talk defense, because I did think with Clark

326
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: on the defensive line, they're better. Let's talk offense. What

327
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: is wrong? He's second guessing himself and he's pressing and

328
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: he I mean the first month of the year when

329
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 1: the Chiefs were two and two, they had a turnover

330
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: in defense problem. But all the smart numbers were the

331
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: best offense in football Barne. Yes, the last five games, Colin,

332
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: they have been held under twenty one four times. Wow.

333
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: Up until the last five games in mahomes whole career,

334
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: he happened three times. Think about that. His whole career,

335
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: he had been as of a month ago, he'd been

336
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 1: held under twenty one three times. The last five games

337
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: has happened four times. He is missing open guys. He's

338
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: skipping passes today. He never he didn't run the ball once.

339
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: He would like, didn't get out of the pocket running.

340
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 1: So I think he suffered some bad bad luck turnover

341
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: wise early. Yeah, and that made him start kind of

342
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 1: second guessing a bit. And then even when he was

343
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: trying to be more conservative, he still made a couple

344
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: terrible mistakes. And now it feels like instead of playing

345
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: every single play, he's you can see like the wheels turning,

346
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,719
Speaker 1: which is why I really and I Rogers to his credit,

347
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: oddly enough, on the last interview he did before all

348
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: the vaccine stuff came out, in the stuff came out,

349
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: he was on McAfee and they asked him about Mahomes struggling,

350
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: and Rogers you know, said hey, absolutely, quarterbacks can get

351
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: the yips, can get in a slump, and he's like,

352
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: and sometimes it just takes one game, one drive, and

353
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: he said this, he said, sometimes it just takes one

354
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 1: play to get out of it. And so maybe I'm,

355
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: you know, hopelessly optimistic. But I wonder if that third

356
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: and ten game on the line today that looked very Mahomes. Yes,

357
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: oh it's broken down. I'm rolling to and I'm certain

358
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: he was told before that play the only thing we

359
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: can't have an incompletion. If it's easy, take it. If not,

360
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: take the sack, because the sack the clock runs, you're

361
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: punning to Jordan Love with a minute fifteen. The only

362
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: thing we can't have is an incompletion. And he still

363
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: ran out to the side one leg zipped it to Tyree.

364
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: That was a Mahomes play, And I do wonder if

365
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: that gets him back to it. So I think because

366
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: he hasn't been himself he was he's been the last month.

367
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,959
Speaker 1: He's been bad. And it's the first time in his career.

368
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: Forget being bad, it's the first month of football. He

369
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: hasn't been outstanding. I'm going to add one other thing,

370
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 1: and I you know, I want to be gentle with

371
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: this because I don't know this to be true. I

372
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 1: just I'm just going to present the evidentiary case. So

373
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 1: in the last month, his mom has tweeted about Tyreek

374
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: dropping the football. His brother has been in the news twice,

375
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 1: yeah for stupid stuff. His wife, who they they're like

376
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,199
Speaker 1: grade school sweetheart, it's been together forever, seems to be

377
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 1: very into TikTok and posting videos with Patrick him and

378
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: Patrick doesn't like there's there's like a it's it's kind

379
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: of semi internet famous now. Patrick like just trying to

380
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: eat some chips and salsa and his wife and brother

381
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: are doing some TikTok dance. So all that plus new

382
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: parent right plus for the first time in your career

383
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: not playing great. I think it's a lot to deal with. Yeah,

384
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 1: I think that. I think all of those things. It's like,

385
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: you know, my family is famous because of me, and

386
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: they're being a pain in my ass right now with

387
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: my fame. But you love, these are the people you

388
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: love most in the world. So like, what are you

389
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 1: gonna do. You're gonna tell your wife, your mom, you know,

390
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: to stop doing something. You can probably tell your brother,

391
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: but nobody his brother's a teenager or a young twenties kid,

392
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: Like his brother's not gonna listen anybody's dupe. It's like

393
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: we all were with that age, right, that's not a criticism.

394
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: So all that's going on, he's not playing great and

395
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, probably sleeping less than the ar as

396
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: of life because you have a new baby, a new kid,

397
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: like that's a thing. And so I think all of

398
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: this coming at once has led to him not being

399
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: himself the last month. I don't think it's a I

400
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 1: still think that he is unanimous that if you were

401
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: to start a new league and every player would be available,

402
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: I think all thirty two gems take him first. I

403
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 1: still believe that. Yeah, but he's got to be better.

404
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 1: By the way Josh Allen struggled m Brady two weeks ago,

405
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 1: struggled the ship's hard. By the way Jalen hurts in

406
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks has been sort of fascinating

407
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 1: and interesting. Let's not bail on him. So you know,

408
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: another team, the Chiefs deepend shut down by the way

409
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: steel curtain two point yeah, Eagles. Eagles shut him down.

410
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: So I mean I think we I think you're right on,

411
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: by the way, but I do think we have to

412
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: say there has to be a pause. This stuff is

413
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: really hard it's really hard. Can Can I ask a

414
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: question though about the NFL? Right now? Yeah? Is anyone

415
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: in the AFC good like that? Who's good? It's a

416
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: great question. Buffalo's a game is the best? We know that. Yeah,

417
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: but Buffalo last week looked like shit. It was three

418
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: to three at half against Miami. They looked bad last

419
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: week and this week they lost. They lost a game

420
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 1: that you can't lose. You just can't lose to the Jags.

421
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: The Patriots are just feasting. How many awful quarterbacks do

422
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: they get to play? It's unbelievable what they've done. You

423
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: know what it is? Because the NFC has veteran quarterbacks.

424
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: It's Stafford, Yeah, I mean it really is. It's Rogers,

425
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: it's all veteran quarterbacks, An Kyler, Right, it's all veterans

426
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: and Kyler. In the AFC, it's all brilliant young quarterbacks

427
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: and guys, and they are brilliant. But guess what, Peyton

428
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: Manning year four was awful in Indianapolis. You're seeing this

429
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: roller coaster. Well, he's one of my favorite people that

430
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: have ever worked with. Dave Juanstat former Baron Dolphin coach,

431
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 1: Fox NFL analyst, Cowboy defensive coordinator, Super Bowl twenty seven win.

432
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: A Pittsburgh head coach for half a decade, I would

433
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: lose a game to find a franchise quarterback every day

434
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: of the week. I thought it was one of the

435
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: great days. Take away the Super Bowl year. I thought

436
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: it was one of the great days for the Bears

437
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 1: in a decade. I really did. Yeah, I agree with you,

438
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 1: and you are right along with all the fellows Chicagoans,

439
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: because I did two shows this morning, two radio shows

440
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: is actually one radio, one TV, and the city is excited.

441
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: You would have thought that we would have won by

442
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: fourteen points. And I think everything is predicated on do

443
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: we have a quarterback? Yes? We do. Now the question

444
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: is will we be able to develop him to a

445
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 1: level of an Aaron Rodgers, to the way Patrick Mahomes

446
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: was to a Tom Brady. Will this kid be able

447
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: to take the next step, the next step, the next step?

448
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: But the best thing about last night and I played,

449
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 1: I have played. I've coached in Three River Stadium and

450
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: to go in there on a Monday night, I mean

451
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: they've been they started drinking at Iron City Beer at

452
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: New in Pittsburgh. I've been there. I'm done that too. Okay,

453
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: he's so. I mean they in a terrible tiles rock

454
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: and it is a deafening crowd from a noise standpoint,

455
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: and this kid never flinched. That's what I took away

456
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: from the game from as big a positive as some

457
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: of the throwsy mate. Now, you know, he's completed nine

458
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: out of ten to ten passes when he's been on

459
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 1: the move, and they moved him, mock. They ran some

460
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: wildcat at from time to time. They chipped on t J. Watt.

461
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:52,479
Speaker 1: So the game plan is started, and I'm gonna give

462
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 1: him credit starting to do a few things to give

463
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: him an opportunity to be successful. How what I don't

464
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: And I think the defense responded. Defense didn't play great.

465
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: But let's be real. The Steelers had four point one

466
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: yards at play. They won the game. But I mean

467
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: that's running past combining for our listeners. Now, I mean

468
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 1: four yards a play. That So the defense, I think

469
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: when he plays good, everybody sees an opportunity to win

470
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: and they rally to run, you know, Dave. One of

471
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 1: the things I said though about the game plan, and

472
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: a lot of people on Twitter were ripping Naggie, and

473
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 1: I said, listen with Trubisky. I felt the offense was

474
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: always all smoking mirrors and what it did it fooled

475
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: people into believing Mitch could be a big time franchise quarterback.

476
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: There was some deception in the game plan, but I

477
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: also felt Naggie Dave there were multiple times on third

478
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: down he said, hey, kid, straight drop, make a throw,

479
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: because let's be honest, you know it and I know it.

480
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's growth has been the ability to make that throw,

481
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: and with Trubisky, I felt they were babing him even

482
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: in year two and three. I felt there were moments

483
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: last night against Pittsburgh where they were like, we're doing

484
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: a straight drop. This is eleven personnel, Go make the play.

485
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: And I think that's healthy. I don't think everything should

486
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: be deception because I think Justin, unlike Trubisky, I think

487
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: Justin has a great arm. I really do. Yeah, he does.

488
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: And I would agree with you the good thing that

489
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: they did last night, though, I think that a lot

490
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: of those conversions they ran the ball with Montgomery and Herbert,

491
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: I mean they were committed to run in you know,

492
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: twenty some times a game. That's that's where it should be.

493
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: And so I think they were trying to keep the

494
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: third dins manageable, and they seemed to be that way.

495
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: I mean, other than the penalties mostly being on defense. Uh,

496
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: you know, he had a lot of third down in

497
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: fives and third down in fours where in the back

498
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: of his mind they were run past options and a

499
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: defense to that. And boy, that stress is a defense

500
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: when they get to defend out. So I thought it

501
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: w good. Now we'll see what they do. I mean,

502
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: you know, I'll tell you what everything, and I'll tell

503
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: you what I liked. They rolled up. You mentioned that

504
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: colin two weeks ago or a week ago, the Chiefs

505
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: were on it was Monday night or Sunday night, and

506
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: they comment it was Monday because it was Brian Grease

507
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: he made to comment on Monday at football. Andy Reid

508
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: does not like the role I pass, doesn't believe in it.

509
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: And as we all know, Matt Nagy, I mean, he's

510
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: he's Andy Reid. Okay, that's the only guy he really

511
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: references from, you know, being anti Eagles in Kansas City

512
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: and on and on and on. Well, now all of

513
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: a sudden, I kind of see him. You know, kids

514
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: of City's offense is like we did when we were

515
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: kids go out for a past one Mississippi to Mississippi,

516
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: three Mississippi, everybody waving throw me the ball and Mahomes

517
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: throws it up for grabs. I mean, it's ridiculous. I

518
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: don't know what's happened, but they have lost it. So

519
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: I see Matt Nagge starting to turn earn a little

520
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: bit and just coaches and trying to get I think,

521
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: their own offensive identity. And I really like that. So

522
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: when I watched the Cowboys just get the living hell

523
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: kicked out of them, Oh boy, let me take a

524
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: sip of its. Terry Bradshaw, Okay, did you ever have

525
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: because I still think Dallas is really good. Dave, go

526
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: to all your years coaching Miami with Jimmy. Let's keep

527
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: it to the pro years. Did you ever go into

528
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: a game you were a huge favorite and you knew

529
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: after the first quarter were we were this is a

530
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: street fight and we didn't we didn't bring our gloves.

531
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: Have you ever and you love the game plan and

532
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: you love the week of practice? Did you have those? Oh? Yeah,

533
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: I think that every coach does. You know it's a

534
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: it's a trap game, as we call it, and uh,

535
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: you know the toughest game that I always said this,

536
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: when coaches earn their money, it's with the game games.

537
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: When their teams win in and they're playing opponent that's

538
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: a lesser opponent, that's when you really have to earn

539
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: your money as a head coach. I mean, you know

540
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: when when a Cowboys are playing the Rams, come on.

541
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: I mean, the guys selling popcorn is motivated. You know,

542
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: there's nothing there going on. I mean from my head

543
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: coach standpoint. But when you are playing a lesser opponent

544
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: and you are favored U, that's the game that you've

545
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: got to really find a way between your senior leaders

546
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,719
Speaker 1: to get motivated. I've been there. I mean it's uh.

547
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: I remember a game where we were playing the Giants.

548
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: I was at Dallas and I was a defensive coordinator

549
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: and Phil Simms was hurt, and god, I can't remember

550
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: the backup, but we were a good favorite. Okay, so

551
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: so we're going to win the game. Everybody's talking that way.

552
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: We were thinking that way. And we went up there

553
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: and every pass that they completed was every pass that

554
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: day threw was completed, and so I just start roll

555
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: of Dexton through the game plan and we cannot stop him.

556
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: And Jimmy comes on the headset and says something to

557
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: the effect, well, what do we got How are we

558
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: going to stop him? And I'm looking down at the

559
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: game plan and I said, coach, we we're out. We

560
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: are out of bullets. We got nothing else left. So

561
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: just someone's got to know, bust the gatorade table or

562
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: bunch of black border do something, because we don't have

563
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: any defenses that can stop these guys. And you know,

564
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: it wasn't about talent, it was all about just mindset.

565
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: And so yes, I have been in those games. And

566
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: unless you are super talented and you can get it

567
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: turned somehow, but if the competition is close and you

568
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: fall into that trap, you got no chance. You got

569
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: no chance. All right, My buddy Chad Millman, every Friday,

570
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: Chief content Officer, Action Network, I would take the Saints

571
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: plus three at the Titans. Now that sounds crazy, but

572
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: this is going to be a very very low scoring

573
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: football game. Two very very good pass rushes to excellent defenses.

574
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,879
Speaker 1: Like right now, the Titans defense is we bring four,

575
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: we don't blitz, we mix up man in zone in

576
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: the back end, and it's very effective. I think this

577
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 1: is an ugly game. I think the Saints have been

578
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: a team that you don't quite know what you're getting,

579
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,280
Speaker 1: and they were completely outplayed by Atlanta. Disregard the score,

580
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: they were absolutely outplayed by Atlanta. The Titans come off

581
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: a wildly dramatic win, feeling themselves a little bit. Saints

582
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: plus three feels like the play to me. Yeah, I

583
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 1: love this one. This is completely sharp, so sharp in fact,

584
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: that it's moved from Saints plus three two Saints plus

585
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: two and a half. Full disclosure, I still bet it

586
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: at plus two and a half. This you talked about

587
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: overreaction earlier. This is the overreaction game of the week,

588
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: and like I'm looking at the numbers right now and

589
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: Action Network dot Com, I can see the bets completely

590
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: coming in on the Titans, and yet the line moved

591
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: in the direction of the Saints. It's called the reverse

592
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 1: line move that tells you that the professional betters are

593
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: coming in on the Saints. Total overreaction, and it's because, look,

594
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: the Titans at a flukey win against the Colts. The

595
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: Titans did not look impressive against the Rams. Matthew Stafford

596
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: just looked bad against the Titans. And this is where

597
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: like the underlying metrics really get interesting. DVOA very fancy

598
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:51,320
Speaker 1: way of saying this is how teams are judged based

599
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: on their effectiveness effectiveness on each play against the league average.

600
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 1: So overall, Titans are fourteenth and DVOA Saints our eighth.

601
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: On offense, they're both middle of the pack sixteenth and

602
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: seventeenth respectively. On defense, Titans are tenth Saints are third.

603
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: You could argue the Saints have the best defense in

604
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: the NFL right now, and the Tyson's rush defense is

605
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the league, so you can expect

606
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: more Taysom hill more run packages, an elite offensive line

607
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: that can protect Trevor Simeon on short passes where he's

608
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: effective against a not very good past defense. And then

609
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,720
Speaker 1: you've got Sean Payton, who I think as the coaching

610
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 1: hedge over Mike Rabow, second most profitable coach against the

611
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: spread since two thousand and three. Coming off of a loss,

612
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: I think Green Bay matches up brilliantly with Seattle. I

613
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: think Seattle's number one issue is a playmaking safety who

614
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 1: can't cover in space, Jamal Adams and bad corners. I

615
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: think Aaron Rodgers is one of the few quarterbacks in

616
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: the league that could be in on zoom meetings, not

617
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: practice and be fine. I think Green May matches up

618
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: very well with Seattle. Now I will say Russell Wilson

619
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: has been a very good old quarterback. And Russell Wilson

620
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: remember when Drew Brees got hurt, came back and looked

621
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: better and had a stronger arm. Russell just got a

622
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:13,919
Speaker 1: month sabbatical in the middle of the season. So part

623
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: of me thinks Russell Wilson's coming back here was so

624
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 1: much energy and they're going to go on a roll

625
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: now against the Green Bay team that's had a noisy week.

626
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: But man, I love the way Green Bay's offense matches

627
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: up with Seattle. What's the sharp side. The sharp side

628
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,240
Speaker 1: is Seattle plus three and a half, and the line

629
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: has been moving down. It was at five, it got

630
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: down to four and a half, then it got down

631
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: to four. Now it's at three and a half. I

632
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: think there's a lot a large sentiment that likes Russell

633
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: Wilson coming back for what you said, and that he's

634
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: just not a quarterback who gets blown out in any

635
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: game like this, where Green Bay's defense has been overperforming

636
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: against the stats that they've had throughout the year, so

637
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a regret coming there. A

638
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:03,919
Speaker 1: big factor is Aaron Rodgers. You say he can work

639
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: on his couch watch film do whatever. We've seen in

640
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: the past, Like, we don't know how athletes react to

641
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:15,280
Speaker 1: COVID yet. And while Aaron Rodgers is certainly a critical thinker,

642
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 1: is his body going to be as different as his

643
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,839
Speaker 1: mind when he comes back from COVID. Cam Newton did

644
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: not perform well. Coming back from COVID literally takes your

645
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: breath away. Lamar Jackson had a hard time coming back

646
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,439
Speaker 1: from COVID. We looked in the NBA. Jason Tatum when

647
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,760
Speaker 1: he had COVID last year, had a hard time recovering

648
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: for the Celtics. It impacts your lungs. So I am

649
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: not convinced that if Aaron Rodgers is back that he's

650
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: going to be at peak level, even if he is

651
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:47,919
Speaker 1: on the field. So for me, Russell Wilson coming back,

652
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers questionable to coming back, but after an ill

653
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: list that was really unpredictable. I like the Seahawks, and

654
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: so do the wise guys. All right, give me the

655
00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: game I haven't talked about. You're interested in Niners. Oh nosting,

656
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: I like the Niners plus four. I do, all right, Well,

657
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: we did talk about it, so I'm telling you this

658
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: is this is the one that's on the board for

659
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: me that we didn't talk about this game most gamest,

660
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: most wise guys have this game power rated at Niners

661
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: minus one. So you're getting like five to five and

662
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: a half points of value on a Niners team that

663
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 1: is continuing to get healthy and is just flukey. Right.

664
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:26,959
Speaker 1: They lost last week because they had so many freaking turnovers.

665
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,760
Speaker 1: So when we do sharp calls on the Favorites podcast,

666
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: this was the game all the wise guys talked about

667
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: between Tuesday and Thursday. They're like, we love the Niners,

668
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: we love the Niners. It was the game that was

669
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 1: getting bet the most on Sunday night when lines first open.

670
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: So a lot of conversation in the wiseguy community about

671
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: the Niners plus four. Well, you know the other thing,

672
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 1: Shanahan's had mcmay's number a little O B J. Nowt

673
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: of the Rams, I wonder if they just waste time

674
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: putting in packages a couple of days this week, I

675
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: honestly think about that. You could see it, right, you

676
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: could totally see like they're we're excited for their new toy.

677
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 1: How are we going to take a manage of it.

678
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 1: We're going to be the ones who are smarter than

679
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: everybody else. How much talent have you seen in your

680
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: life in media? Now running a media operation. Oh, this

681
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: guy's so good. Nobody else knows how to manage him.

682
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: I can figure it out. Doesn't really work out like that.

683
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: People are who they are. Bill Belichick is the only

684
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: person in history who's been able to bring malcontent talent

685
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: and turn it into something that works within a framework

686
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 1: of the team. And it's because he had Tom Brady.

687
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford is not Tom Brady. I would be shocked

688
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 1: if OBJ turns into the long term Hall of Famer

689
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: because he's on the rams At The Volume Sports YouTube channel, Twitter, Instagram,
