1
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: What is going on everybody? John Middlecoff Three and Out Podcast.

2
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: Back at it again after a you know, pretty cool weekend.

3
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: We had the Heisman Trophy, bunch of you know, some

4
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: decent games I wouldn't call great games over the weekend,

5
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: and then we have this Monday night game which you know,

6
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't exactly call it a classic thirty four to seven.

7
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: Saints destroy them. But anytime you get a record and

8
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: Drew Brees we're gonna dive right into was just magnificent.

9
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: I mean he was four touchdowns. Well, what a special,

10
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 1: special player, and uh we got we got a lot

11
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 1: to talk about today. Seattle Green Bay. I mean they

12
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: might be two of the top seeds in the NFC,

13
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: and I don't even think they're that good. We'll dive

14
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: into that. Relatively speaking, I think their playoff level teams.

15
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: But you know, for two teams that could go thirteen

16
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: and three, it's pretty wild. H Now, as Parcels will

17
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: say you are what your record says you are bad ownership.

18
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: I thought, really flexus muscles this week all around the league,

19
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: from coast to coast, from Oakland to Cleveland to Washington. Uh,

20
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: that there's something, uh something special about bad ownership, that's

21
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: for sure. The Eagles and Cowboys. You know, I think

22
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: we all said and me, I trust me. I led

23
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: the charge. The NFC, he sucks. It's gonna be an

24
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: easy playoff victory. Not so fast, the a f C

25
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: playoff picture. I'm gonna go into just trending up, trending down.

26
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: Then just some weekend thoughts, just different things I wrote

27
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: down from the weekend that that we're cool. And then

28
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: of course the Middlecoff mail bag at John Middlecoff is

29
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: my Twitter and Instagram handle. If you want to get

30
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: on the show, slide up into Instagram and you can

31
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: ask me anything. It's always open Instagram, d MS wide open.

32
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: Slide up in there, my name, Shoot, shoot me a question,

33
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: Shoot your shot. Let's start with Monday Night, and I

34
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: think Drew Brees epitomizes what's so great about this country,

35
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: in this world is you don't need to be the

36
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: most talented person to reach the epitome of success in

37
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: whatever you're given field. You know that the smartest people

38
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: aren't the richest, right, Uh, the best athletes aren't always

39
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: the best players in pro sports. The most talented people

40
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: in any business are consistently not the best. Why because

41
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: typically to be the best, there are intangible aspects of

42
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: your life to separate from the pack. How hard you work,

43
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: your drive, how disciplined you are willing to do the

44
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: things that you can't quantify. Because let's take a step back.

45
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 1: Drew Brees is short for NFL standards, He's barely six

46
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: ft tall. He is not a good athlete. He's sure

47
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: as hell does not have a good arm. It's not

48
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: strong at all. I'd call it average at best. Now,

49
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: his defining characteristic as a player his accuracy, and that's

50
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: something that he clearly works really, really hard at. And

51
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: then from an intangible standpoint, he went to one of

52
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: the biggest joke franchises in the history of the league

53
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: and made them with Sean Payton, you know, Cream of

54
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: the Crop franchise. He willed them with his coach to

55
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: become credible, went to a Super Bowl, want it and

56
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: never look back. And you know when he broke the

57
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: record to night and he's broken I think two of

58
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning's records the last like twelve months. It's impossible

59
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: not to like the guy. It truly is. Reggie Bush

60
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: tweeted out a video or maybe Instagram the video and

61
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: the Saints picked it up and they tweeted it out.

62
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: I would highly recommend if you haven't seen it, to

63
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: go google it the Saint Twitter account from it would

64
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: have been Monday, just typing in Reggie Bush on Drew

65
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: Brees and it's just him in the Dome on Sunday

66
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: after the walkthrough by himself in the red zone, no

67
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: players running drills, by himself, mental reps. I've never seen

68
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: anything quite like that. And Reggie's given commentary in the back,

69
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: like God, this is this is what it takes to

70
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: be one of the all time greats. Because even with

71
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, with all the records and all the touchdowns

72
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: and all the winning he's done for a crappy franchise,

73
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: they're not crappy anymore because of him and Sewn. I

74
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: still feel he's underrated because when you think top ten quarterbacks,

75
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: he typically doesn't come to mind immediately. And I'd argue,

76
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: you know, the top five is relatively set, at least

77
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: in my mind modern football, like seventies and on Brady, Joe, Marino, Elway, Manning.

78
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: You can put those after Brady and Joe, the other

79
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: three in any order you want Elway, Marino, Manning. Then

80
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: there's this group of like Steve Young, Brett Farr, Aaron Rodgers,

81
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: kind of that whole crew, And I think I'd make

82
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 1: a pretty strong argument when it's all said in, uh,

83
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: Drew Brees probably gonna have a better career and in

84
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: a more loaded resume than all those guys than Young,

85
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: than Far and then Rogers. Now, if he gets another

86
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, which he's clearly going to be in a

87
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: position to do this year, I think it would solidify

88
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: him over that group. But to me, what he stands

89
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: for as kind of the poster child of the league

90
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: during the Brady, Brady and Manning era, you kind of

91
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: get lost in the shuffle. But I remember watching a

92
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: video of Zach Streef, who's now the playby He went

93
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: from being an offensive tackle to being the play by

94
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: play guy for the Saints, and when he retired, he

95
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: was in tears, calling Drew Brees not the greatest player,

96
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: not the greatest leader, but the greatest person he'd ever

97
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: been around, and he would miss just being around him

98
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: in the building. And Carson Palmer said something to me

99
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: that will always stand out that he said one of

100
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: the things he misses most about playing is the pressure

101
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: that you feel from being the quarterback when you walk

102
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: into a building like that is an immense amount of

103
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: pressure even if you're if you're listening and you're the

104
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: top guy in your individual office at the end of

105
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: the day, if you're the number one sales guy or

106
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: the number one engineer, like not everyone's looking to you

107
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: every day and there's not always a microphone in front

108
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: of your face, like you can't really slip up. You

109
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: are the spokesman to a public job. And literally having

110
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: half the team is dependent on your play to get

111
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: them the ball to play well when they're blocking for

112
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: you to hand them the ball, like they couldn't be

113
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: anymore dependent on a human than they are in a quarterback,

114
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: and the entire coaching staff is dependent on the guy

115
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: to execute a game plan. And his intangible characteristic X

116
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: are just are immeasurable that they really are, and to me,

117
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: he symbolizes what's so great about the National Football League.

118
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: You don't see this really in basketball. Like in basketball

119
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: you have to have one. You gotta be really tall,

120
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: like there was a small percentage of guys like under

121
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: six three that have been great players in the NBA.

122
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: For the most part, most of the best players have

123
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: been fantastic athletes, and then you just have to have

124
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: a stupid skill. Whether it's explosive explosion, the ability to shoot,

125
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: ability to run, It usually all kind of combined together.

126
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: We're in football, especially at the quarterback position. Think about

127
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: the three guys that I listed of the last twenty

128
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: years that are the three best players Manning it would

129
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: be Brady Manning Breeze. Who's the best athlete of the three.

130
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: Breeze and he's not a great athlete at all. I mean, yeah,

131
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, he's a He's an average athlete at best.

132
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: Brady below average, Manning below average, and really Manning like Breeze,

133
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: it was just all desire. It was all want to

134
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: like the the amount of work they've put in when

135
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: none of us have ever seen what they've been doing

136
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, would blow all of our minds, including myself.

137
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine the toll it takes on that

138
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: human to sustain that level of play, that mindset for

139
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: six months during the season and have that level of

140
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: pressure of the entire team, the entire franchise, the entire

141
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: fan base, basically saying we're on your back. You carry

142
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: us to the promised Land year in, year out, and breeze.

143
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: Unlike those other two guys that are six five, six six,

144
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: he's tiny in the league where your smallest offensive lineman

145
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 1: in two thousand, you know, in the modern day football

146
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: is probably six four. So you're talking about a guy

147
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: that six six has six four or six six guys

148
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: playing in front of him. Think how good you have

149
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: to be at understanding where your players are when you

150
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: can't totally see him. And he's gonna go down as

151
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: the most accurate quarterback in NFL history. I'm telling you,

152
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna go down as one of the

153
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: more underappreciated players in all of sports ever. Definitely in

154
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: my lifetime, like one of the most underappreciated athletes in

155
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: all of sports. What he's meant for the franchise, just again,

156
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: I mean the man of the year, the the iconic

157
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: picture with his kid with the uh with the you know,

158
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: the earmuffs on at the Super Bowl, to how all

159
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: of his kids are older now if you fall him

160
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: on Instagram. What a good family man he is. I

161
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: think he's, you know, in this day and age with family,

162
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: with just the famous people. I think we're always hesitant

163
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: to say, and we've learned a hard lesson right. I

164
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: was like, God, Tiger is a great guy, and everything

165
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: happens like, oh, Tiger's got some issues, you know, just

166
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: we've just seen over the years guys have different issues.

167
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 1: You never truly know. Well, I've heard enough stories that

168
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: like Drew Brees one of more genuine human beings like

169
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: league history. That's I don't even need to explain that

170
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: to anyone listening. I think we all agree. But as

171
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: a player watching him the night, how surgical he is,

172
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: how intense he is, what a great leader he is.

173
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: To me, he epitomizes really everything you can possibly want

174
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: out of the quarterback position. East it feels like he

175
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 1: a little more than Manning, like Brady is just this

176
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: ultimate galvanizing leader. And I've had friends that have had

177
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: joint practices with the Patriots over the years, and just say,

178
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: watching Tom and practice is just a sight to behold.

179
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: The standard in which he holds his players, how he's

180
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: on everyone, how he's competing with the opposing defenses in

181
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 1: a good way, but a very intense way. Like the

182
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: level of these human beings, I think anyone that listened

183
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: to Carson Palmer interview. I often think about these quarterbacks.

184
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: And it's not just quarterbacks. I mean Richard Sherman here

185
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: in the Bay Area. If he hadn't played football, he

186
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: would have been successful in whatever he did, I mean

187
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 1: really really successful. But the Breeze, the bre eighty Demanning,

188
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: like that guy literally could do anything he wanted, Like

189
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: you want to run the Goldman Sacks, you want to

190
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,359
Speaker 1: be the president of Purdue University, you want to, uh

191
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: be a Navy seal? Like what do you want to do?

192
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: Because there's nothing that it makes you feel inferior just

193
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: thinking about it, Like how much more complete of a

194
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: human being this guy is? And as a diehard sports fan,

195
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: uh just been a joy to watch Drew Brees his career.

196
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: And it made a Monday night game that was terrible.

197
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I got I don't want to say emotional,

198
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: but you just kind of feel moved by the guy,

199
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: you know, And he had this happened last year, he

200
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: had it happen again. And just the Saints are good, man,

201
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be hell to deal with in

202
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: the off season. Then they got I mean this in

203
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 1: the in the playoffs, not the off season. Then Taysom Hill,

204
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: who was one of the great Swiss Army Knife in

205
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: recent memory. I googled. I was like, how much this

206
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 1: guy make? He makes sixty dollars now he's a restricted

207
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: free agent, and I just tweeted off the cuff, I'm like,

208
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: I think this guy might be like a five million

209
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: dollar player that just kind of give or take a

210
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: couple of million, you know. I felt Matt range because

211
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: he's catching touchdowns to night, he's making blocks, he's on kickoff,

212
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: he's carrying the ball, he's he's staying in past protection.

213
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 1: He does it all. And then I text an executive

214
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: in the league, I'm like, this guy is a restricting

215
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: free agent. What type money do you think this guy

216
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: will get? And his response was do you think he

217
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: does one thing really well? And my response was no,

218
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: I I don't. I mean, I don't think there's one

219
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: individual thing that you go, that's what he hangs his

220
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: hat on. I think he does a lot of things well.

221
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: He said. The problem with that, there's a ceiling. Then

222
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: if you're a Swiss Army knife. Now again, good thing

223
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: to be in that industry. The ceiling, he said, it

224
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: was like a Cordurell Patterson with the Bears got five

225
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: million dollars, so he I just kind of guess five million.

226
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: He also agreed in that level. Now, his question was also, well,

227
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: if John Payton thinks you're a quarterback and Drew Brees

228
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: is old, why wouldn't you just stick around there and

229
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 1: then maybe become the quarterback in the future. And I

230
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: got a couple of buddies to night just randomly texting me,

231
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: could Takesom He'll be the future quarterback of the Saints?

232
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: In My first response is no, because if Sean Payton

233
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: thought that Teddy Bridgewater, one, he would not have resigned

234
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: him at like seven and a half million dollars. And

235
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: two when Drew Brees hurt his thumb, which is crazy

236
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: to think about watching him shattered the record to night,

237
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: remember when he disappeared for a while and was in

238
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: l a rehabbing that thumb. Who started and played the

239
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: entire time Teddy Bridgewater. If they really thought Taysom Hill

240
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: was some future at quarterback, he would have started at

241
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: one or played a lot more in one of those games.

242
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: So I think we have a pretty good idea that

243
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Teddy's clearly a quarterback probably just the best

244
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: backup quarterback in the league would be you know, a

245
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: mediocre starter, but great guy. Love the guy, and he's

246
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: worth them paying seven million. But he was worth them

247
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: paying seven million because they did not believe that Taysom

248
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: Hill could play quarterback. Now you could count me and

249
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: be like, well, John, he's so important to all the

250
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: other stuff they do, you couldn't just stick him at quarterback. Well,

251
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: I'd say, yeah, but clue of that other stuff is

252
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,199
Speaker 1: a huge value of his and I don't think that's

253
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: gonna change because if he the quarterback is the most

254
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: valuable position. So if the guy you thought could be

255
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: better than Teddy Bridgewater, they would have played him, and

256
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: they just didn't. But it also shows you that the

257
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: Saints have a really good problem. One, they got multiple quarterbacks.

258
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: They can beat any team in the league, and their

259
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: starting quarterback went healthy, is one of the best quarterbacks

260
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: in the league history. They got a great backup, and

261
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: then they got the third stringer guy that also can

262
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: carry the ball, catch the ball, and block and play

263
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: special teams. Uh, the Saints are absolutely rolling. They just

264
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: that that was a you don't even belong on the

265
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: field with US tonight Indianapolis. I'm a Jacobe Brissette fan,

266
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: or at least was this last month. He just looks

267
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: like a slow process or everything just looks slow. He

268
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: looks terrible. He he doesn't look good. The Colts looks slow.

269
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: But I got faith in Chris Ballard, his mindset, the

270
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: way he drafts. Uh you know, it's just a kind

271
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: of a weird year for him. And uh yeah, just

272
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: they got their they got their butts kick tonight. Okay,

273
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: let's dive into a big picture playoff thought that I've

274
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: had just watching games this weekend, and I've watched basically

275
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: every snap Seattle's taken this year, and the majority of

276
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: snaps the Packers have taken this year. And it got

277
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: me thinking that, you know, they're both eleven three, and

278
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: it's they've had remarkable seasons. Like Bill parcels, you are

279
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: who your record are says you are, and when you're

280
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: eleven and three, you're a big time NFL football team.

281
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's that's an awesome record on any

282
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: given year. But when I've watched these teams at zero points,

283
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: did I ever consider, like, you know what, this is

284
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: a big time Number one overall seat on a tip

285
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: topical years, some of the great Patriot teams number one

286
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: overall seed. Last year, that Chiefs team led by the

287
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: m v P mahomes number one seed, the Ravens this year.

288
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: Everything they've done with Lamar look headed to a number

289
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: one seed those years with Pete Carroll. I'm just thinking

290
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: in the last decade and some of those l Ob

291
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: teams one seed last year, the Saints one seed. Like

292
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: you think dominant, dominant teams, well rounded teams. And I

293
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: see Green Bay in Seattle, and listen, I'm not trying

294
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: to diminish what they accomplished. I actually think it speaks

295
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: to the greatness of the quarterbacks uh and Seattle probably

296
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: a little more of the culture and the toughness because

297
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: Green Bay has a more talented roster than Seattle. But

298
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: there's a chance, depending on how these last couple of

299
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: weeks play out, and as we see every year in

300
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: the NFL, you just never freaking know. Weird things happen.

301
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: These two teams and some order could be the one

302
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: in the two seed. And I just take a step back,

303
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: and I think that's nuts, because typically the best team

304
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: is your has the home field, buys and I don't

305
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: know necessarily if these are the two best teams because

306
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: us I think that if Minnesota was fully healthy the

307
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: entire season, feeling Dalvin Cook, who's banged up right now,

308
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: hopefully he plays this weekend, but especially especially feeling how

309
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: good that offense was with feeling Digs and the running back.

310
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: It was dominant in San Francisco when they were fully healthy,

311
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: I thought they were the best team in the league

312
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: beside the Ravens. And when they played Seattle, they were

313
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: missing George Kittle and they lost that game, obviously in overtime,

314
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,479
Speaker 1: and the game they lost against the Atlanta Falcons missing

315
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: for defensive starters. But I'm not I understand the NFL doesn't.

316
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: I'm not making excuses like you are who your record is.

317
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: And if Seattle, who controls their own destiny now with

318
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: the home field game against the Niners Week seven team,

319
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: same thing with green Bay. They win these next two games,

320
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: there's a pretty decent chance they might be the one

321
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: or two seed, but definitely going to win the division.

322
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: That it shows you you don't have to be the

323
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: best teams. And when you look at point differential, because

324
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: point differential to me in the NF felt it's not

325
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: necessarily indicative, like the Raiders forever had this terrible point

326
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: differential and had a winning season, and the forty Niners

327
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: have had a point differential that's much closer to like

328
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: the Ravens or the or the Patriots, And there's a

329
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: chance they could, I mean, as crazy as it sounds,

330
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: they could end up the sixth seed. Right now, Seattle's

331
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: point differential is twenty six plus twenty six, yet there

332
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: are eleven and three the Niners is like a hundred

333
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: and sixty. When you look at Green Bay there's like

334
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: forty five. For example, the Ravens, who have one more win,

335
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: is over two hundred. So now, part of it that

336
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: these guys are playing in tight games and they're winning

337
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: a lot of them, which is really impressive. But it's

338
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: hard for me to get entrenched out of my mind

339
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: green Bay coming to Levi Stadium on that Sunday night

340
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: game and getting the piss beaton out of them. Now Seattle,

341
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: I have a little more faith just because the coach

342
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: and quarterback have been there. But I don't think there's

343
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: ever been a potential one seed that has had less

344
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 1: talent on the team. Pete Carroll borderline Hall of Fame coach.

345
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: If you put him in the Hall of Fame, I

346
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't argue. Russell Wilson, in my opinion, one of the

347
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 1: truly great players I've ever watched in the NFL. But

348
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: other than that, he who's their best player on offense.

349
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: Chris Carson like them, fumbles a lot, dk Metcalf rookie,

350
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: only can really run a couple of routes. Tyler Lockett

351
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: again really like small been banged up defense. Bobby Wagner

352
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: by far, but he just got hurt. Hopefully he's okay.

353
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 1: Clowney's injured. You had like two good games all season.

354
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: Now they traded for Dick, who's been really good, but

355
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 1: they got him mid season. Like this is not the

356
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: Seattle team of like two fourteen. They are nowhere near that,

357
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: but they're gonna have a record like one of those

358
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: teams Green Bay, I would say a little better because

359
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: they got Rogers. They still have a solid offensive line.

360
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: Then they got the two Smith guys up front, and

361
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: their dbs are really good, so they got players, but

362
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 1: they're wide receivers besides, and Davante, who's a store Are star,

363
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: might be strong a really really good player when he's healthy,

364
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 1: a top six seven wide receiver in the league. But

365
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: who else is he throwing do? Because I talked to

366
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: a buddy in the league a couple of weeks ago

367
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 1: that was, like, listen, Rogers numbers are basically carbon copy

368
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: of what they were last year, the year Mike McCarthy

369
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: didn't even make it till the end of the season.

370
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: The difference, he thought was just he's making more crucial

371
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: clutch plays at the end of the game. See see

372
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: their record. They're winning a lot of tight games, mainly

373
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: because Rogers is consistently coming through at the end of

374
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: the game. And listen, what have I really learned about

375
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur besides he's a good looking, skinny gay. I

376
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: mean seriously, because the offense again very similar to last

377
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: season statistically. Now, where I will give him credit is

378
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: Rogers feels happy and Rogers is the franchise. And the

379
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: last couple of years with McCarthy, you can say whatever

380
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 1: you want, he can say whatever he wants. Mike can

381
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: say whatever he wants. They were miserable. It was a

382
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: divorce that had to happen. And I often believe in

383
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: divorce or just like in any business breakup, any personal

384
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: breakup that that is that is unavoidable. You usually are

385
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: healthier after you split. It was best for both guys.

386
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 1: And if you've seen McCarthy going on this PR tour,

387
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: he looks, he looks happy. He did cry with Pella

388
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: Sorrow on that NFL Network special. But I'm looking forward

389
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: to him getting back in the league too. But I'm

390
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 1: looking at see I'm looking at green Bay and going

391
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 1: it's not like Matt Lafour. Someone's calling him some offensive genius.

392
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: Their numbers haven't really changed. If anything. To Rogers gets

393
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: to run the two minute, he gets to implement a

394
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: lot of his own offense. So I don't know. I

395
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: guess my main takeaway on these two teams is for

396
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,239
Speaker 1: teams that are gonna go I mean, one of these

397
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: two teams going thirteen and three and probably the other

398
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: ones going twelve and four, and there's a chance they

399
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: both go thirteen and three. For two teams that potentially

400
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: could be thirteen and three, Like I would say in

401
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: my thirty five years of life, in my twenty plus,

402
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 1: a fall in the NFL really closely, if you go

403
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,199
Speaker 1: thirteen and three, you usually have pro Bowlers everywhere and

404
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 1: our stack squad. Now, I would say Green Bay would

405
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: be closer than that in Seattle, but Seattle is nowhere

406
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: near that. So it does speak to when you have

407
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: and we argue this all the time, like the importance

408
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks. Well, these two guys are headed straight to

409
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. And without these two guys, if

410
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: you just put just a random Joe blow quarterback on

411
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:23,719
Speaker 1: this team, I'm just trying to think of just a

412
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: random guy let's go with. Let's just go with like

413
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen or Josh Allen. These teams win like three

414
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: or four games, So it speaks to the the the

415
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: dominance of these two players. And I think they both

416
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: got combined, you know, like a hundred and eighty million

417
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: dollars last year. They deserved every penny, and I truly

418
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: believe they're both underpaid. Okay, let's dive into a topic

419
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: that you know we've hit on many times on the show,

420
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: and I really do think it carries over to any business,

421
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: any walk of life. You are only as strong as

422
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: the guy that owns your company, you know, And in football,

423
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: the head coach the quarterback are really important, just like

424
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: you know in some of these big fortune five hundred companies,

425
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: the quote unquote CEO or even like what Phil Knight

426
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: became in his latter years. I know he's still alive.

427
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: You can't run every branch, every decision, but you do

428
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: set the tone for the company. Forever it was Steve Jobs,

429
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: now it's Tim Cook. You know, when you're in these massive,

430
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: massive companies, you are still dependent on the person in

431
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: that individual building that's in charge. Clearly, like in football,

432
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: the owner is not calling the plays for the most part,

433
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: unless you're Jerry Jones. The owner is not picking the players,

434
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: but they do to dictate overall the success of your franchise.

435
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: I've worked for one NFL team. It's consistently one of

436
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 1: the top three or four organizations in all of football,

437
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. It starts with Jeffrey Leurry like he's

438
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: he's pretty buttoned up. He knows what the hell he's doing.

439
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: That there's a reason the Eagles for the last twenty

440
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: plus years of his ownership have been pretty high level. One.

441
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: He hired a really good coach and Andy Reid. Then

442
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: he made a mistake with Chip Kelly, pivoted quickly to

443
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson, but it's not necessarily about the hires. It's

444
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: more about the culture in the building, his innovative thinking,

445
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: his just big picture thought process, his ability to hire

446
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: the right people and put him in the right position

447
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: to succeed. And I think when you look around the NFL,

448
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 1: there's a reason why the shitty teams are shitty. I mean,

449
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: it's just it's pretty simple. I saw something on Sunday

450
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,239
Speaker 1: that you'll never see again. I mean, the Raiders are

451
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: leaving and they've moved, you know, three years ago. But

452
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: unlike the Rams and the Chargers that the year they moved,

453
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: they just left. Doesn't work that way from Mark Davis

454
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: because the David's family doesn't have any money, so they

455
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: were stuck here forever. And it's been a disaster let

456
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 1: me read, let me repeat, an absolute disaster. And they

457
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: lose with the Jaguars. Of course they do, because in

458
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: the twenty five years since the Raiders move back to

459
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: Northern California, only the Cleveland Browns have lost more. We'll

460
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: get into them in a second, but I think when

461
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: you look at the Raiders failures, it has Mark Davis

462
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: written all over it. Right. He hires Jack del Rio

463
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: and they actually have a decent season, and then he's

464
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: in love with John Gruden because he believes he's Vince

465
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:29,239
Speaker 1: Lombardi gives him a hundred billion dollars John Gruden. They

466
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: drafted number four overall last year. Their six and eight

467
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: look like they're headed for six and ten. They're gonna

468
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: suck again. They get rid of all their good players.

469
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: They spent a year before Mayock showed up with a

470
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: lame duck Reggie Mackenzie GM. It really made no sense.

471
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,479
Speaker 1: The Raiders are just a disaster, and it starts at

472
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: the top. As long as Mark Davis owns the team,

473
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: they may have more revenue streams in Las Vegas, but

474
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: they won't be any different as a franchise. But the

475
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: reality is in the NFL, whether you're poor relative to

476
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: NFL standards like Mark Davis or really rich like Jimmy

477
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: Haslum and Dan Snyder, if you're bad, you're bad. And

478
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: when you look at the Redskins, they have been a

479
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: disaster ever since the guy owns the team, he can't

480
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: hire the right coach. Whenever he does hire a decent coach,

481
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: like the Shanahans, he meddles at the highest of degrees.

482
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: Remember the year he forced them to you know, sign

483
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: or excuse me, draft and basically give up, you know,

484
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: a ton of picks to get RG three, something his

485
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 1: head coach doesn't want to do. Now, I loved RG

486
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: three coming out of Baylor. I know with the Eagles,

487
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: coach relived him. We all loved him. He was real,

488
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: he was really, really talented. But if you hire Mike

489
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 1: Shanahan and you give Mike Shanahan all this money and

490
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 1: he goes, you know what, Mr Snyder, I don't want

491
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: this guy. If you're Dan Snyder, you have to listen

492
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: to him. What is the point of hiring him? Of course, snowballs,

493
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: the disaster happens, the Cousin debacle, and they're still in

494
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 1: a position where they suck all these year later. You

495
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: know why, because as long as the guy owns the team.

496
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 1: And we've talked about Dan Snyder before, if you google

497
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: his life resume, it's eye opening. The guy was a

498
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: multi millionaire like by his late twenties. By his early thirties,

499
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: he's worth like a bill. It's an incredible business story.

500
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: He has been one of the worst owners in the

501
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,959
Speaker 1: history of the league over his twenty year run, like

502
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 1: a joke in one of the truly great markets economically

503
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: and just fan wise in terms of quantity and the passion,

504
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: And he just consistently sucks. And then you get a

505
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: new owner like Jimmy Haslim, who had been, you know,

506
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: a minority owner before, finally gets a shot when the

507
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: Browns came up for sale and one of the Browns

508
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 1: become Since he took over, nothing's changed. The guy doesn't

509
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: know anything. He hires and fires left and right and

510
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: never stops. What is the point of hiring someone if

511
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 1: you're not gonna let them do their job. But the

512
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 1: reason they're in this situation they are now is because

513
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: he hired John Dorsey, a guy that couldn't figure it

514
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: out in Kansas City, when ever since he's been got

515
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 1: it and it was working when he was there, Like,

516
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: what the hell happened there? John can't manage people, can't

517
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: manage a salary cap your hegoes too big. You're a

518
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: little bit of a control freak. So of course Jimmy

519
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: has them, hires him and because of the Sassy Brown debacle,

520
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: and that's exactly what it was. You can be like

521
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 1: he loaded up on all these picks. Anyone can trade

522
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: back down and acquire picks. He passed on Carson Wentz,

523
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: he passed on Deshaun Watson. He kept passing on good players.

524
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,959
Speaker 1: So I'm tired of hearing like Sashy Brown was ever

525
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: going to turn them around. He had proven that he

526
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: can't evaluate talent. Now John Dorsey has proven that he can.

527
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: But he staked his career on Baker Mayfield. So when

528
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: you draft a guy number one one overall, all the

529
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: chips and your entire franchise, especially when it's a quarterback

530
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:53,719
Speaker 1: or in the middle of the table, on that player,

531
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: they had the biggest decision in recent memory. They needed

532
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: a coach. They had a number one overall quarterback. They

533
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: had Jervis Landry they traded for. They were going to

534
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: trade for Odell Beckham. It was clearly on their mind.

535
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: I know they traded for Beckham after Freddy was already

536
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: named the coach, But clearly the wheels and the thought

537
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: process were already in motion for John Dorsey. You would

538
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: think you would go after you know, a big swing,

539
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: you know what, right, a legitimate coach, whether that was

540
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: hell Mike McCarthy had just been fired by the Green

541
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: Bay Packers, like they had worked together in Green Bay before.

542
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: He needed a guy that knew what he was doing.

543
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: I don't know an adult in the room, someone who

544
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: had admit him have been a coordinator before, because you

545
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 1: can google at Freddy Kitchens had never been a coordinator

546
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: until Hugh Jackson Todd Haley got fired last year. So

547
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: what does he do? He hires Freddy Kitchens. What has

548
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: happened more losing? Of course they're losing. I like Baker

549
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: Mayfield a lot coming out of Oklahoma. I don't really

550
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: like him now, and I used to disagree with Colin Coward.

551
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: I'm like Colin I he's a better player than you're

552
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: giving him credit for. And I don't think the maturity

553
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: is that big of a deal. Colin was dead on

554
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: was dead. I mean, it's it's been his best take

555
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: probably ever. Has he ever nailed a stronger take that

556
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: legitimately the majority of people, even like Colin's biggest fans,

557
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: I think kind of disagreed he was dead on. Well,

558
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: I I don't think he would have been dead on

559
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: if he would have got him McCarthy. He just would

560
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: have got a real coach around him. Maybe this wouldn't

561
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: happened now, Maybe it would have maybe I overvalued the

562
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: talent small, bad athlete, immature, usually a bad combination. I

563
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: thought his accuracy could overcome all that. It hasn't. Because

564
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: this morning I met the gym, I'm like, you know

565
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: what everyone was tweeting about Kyler and Baker. I'm gonna

566
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: flip that thing on if you just watch that game

567
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: on mute and I did at the gym, muted the

568
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: condensed version on NFL game Pass, and I knew nothing

569
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: about football. And you just said you can pick one

570
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: of these two quarterbacks at the end of the year

571
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: to have on your team. You wouldn't even hesitate. It

572
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't even be a conversation. You would take Kyler Murray. Now,

573
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's got a stronger arm, He's obviously more athletics,

574
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: so if you watch a certain game, he's gonna look

575
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: more explosive. But I just don't think Baker Mayfield looks

576
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: good at all over throwing balls not accurate. He's obviously

577
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: a bad athlete, and he thinks he can run around.

578
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: It's a disaster. And then you have the story from

579
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: Mike Silver about the players screaming across the field to

580
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals come get me. It'd be one thing,

581
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: right when O'Dell told the Niners to come get him,

582
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: or if you're telling Bill Belichick to come get you.

583
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: The Arizona Cardinals are in the last place in the

584
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: NFC West. Are they gonna win five games this year?

585
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: And you're telling him to come get me? But again,

586
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: what does it all get back to? The Raiders always

587
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: lose and they're always a laughing stock. Cleveland Browns always lose,

588
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: always a laughing stock. The Washington Redskins always lose, always

589
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: a laughing stock. What is the consistent you know? Uh,

590
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: the one thing that remains remains true in the organization.

591
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: Everything changes, coaches, players, different employees. The owners don't change.

592
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: And Snyder has been there for a long time now.

593
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: The David's family has been here for a long time now,

594
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: and Jimmy haslum well, he's had a short period of

595
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: time he's kind of established himself. It's just your typical

596
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:14,239
Speaker 1: clown owner and these franchisees are a disaster And as

597
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: long as these guys owned the team, I just can't

598
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: see it changing. Okay, let's dive into the NFC East

599
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: and one of the teams, the Eagles or the Cowboys

600
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: are going to host a playoff game. Now I know

601
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: me personally the NFC East. When it's bad, I get

602
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: a little tired of watching Eli, watching the Redskins watching

603
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: a bad Cowboys team. It's just like, come on, guys.

604
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: But trust me, I and I think most of you

605
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: understand or at least can comprehend that this division is

606
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: the most important economic division in the football. Football pays

607
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: their bills, the majority of their cash, and their revenue

608
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,239
Speaker 1: stream are through television. Cowboys are the biggest brand, they

609
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: do the highest television ratings. Eagles and the Giants massive brands.

610
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: Trust me, the league would love for the Redskins to

611
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: be good because they're also a huge brand and have

612
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: a huge fan base. But sometimes when they're bad, like

613
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: get shoved down our throat and listen. I still know

614
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: Howie and root for Doug and have buddies on that

615
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: scouting staff. But if the Eagles are bad, like I'd

616
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: rather watch another team. But one thing at least where

617
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: I live with the Niners that now might be the

618
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: fifth seed. There. There's a lot of this kind of

619
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: just thought process that because the Niners are better, if healthy,

620
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: than either one of these teams, but that's not always

621
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: the way the playoffs work. One winning road playoff games

622
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: is really really difficult, and I've talked before I think

623
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: they should change the rule. If you're not five hundred,

624
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: or if a team has a better record than you,

625
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: you shouldn't just automatically host the division. But who cares.

626
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: That's just my opinion that it should ain't changing. The

627
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys are the Eagles, whoever wins this Sunday are gonna

628
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: host a playoff game come that first week of January,

629
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: and more than likely it's gonna be the Niners or

630
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks are gonna have to go and play

631
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,760
Speaker 1: one of these two teams. I think my voice voice

632
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: just cracked, but I do think you saw these two teams.

633
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: And I watched the Cowboy game back this morning because

634
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: I didn't get to see it live, and the Cowboys

635
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: beat the living crap out of the Ramps. The game

636
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: was over at halftime early in the third quarter. It

637
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: was seven. And what we've been saying about the Cowboys,

638
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 1: I think and all the Cowboys fans know this. What's

639
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: so frustrating about this season. It's like this team really

640
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: is talented, star wide receiver, a couple of solid wide receivers,

641
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: start running back, good offensive line, solid quarterback, good defensive players,

642
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: and the coaching staff has been terrible and Jerry talking

643
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: every other day probably doesn't help. But I do think

644
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: if you're Jerry or just a Cowboy fan, you watch

645
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 1: that first half and you're just I can't relate to this,

646
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,959
Speaker 1: but you're pulling your hair out, like where's this Ben?

647
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,439
Speaker 1: Look how good we are? And I understand the Rams

648
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: aren't exact, leave the two thousand and eighteen Rams, but

649
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: they were eight and five coming off a couple of

650
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: big wins and getting their mojo back. Do have, Sean McVeigh,

651
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: do have a bunch of good players, and the Cowboys

652
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 1: housed them, I mean destroyed them. I think Amari Cooper

653
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,439
Speaker 1: only had one catch. Imagine if he was humming, could

654
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: have been like sixteen to nothing. It was a blog

655
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: I think the final score was, but trust me, the

656
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: final score is not indicative of what I witnessed. And

657
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: then the Eagles, unlike the Cowboys, Eagles are missing a

658
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: ton of players right Al Shawn's gone, Deshawn's gone, Lane

659
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: Johnson hurt, like they got running backs hurt. They got

660
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 1: injuries everywhere, but the difference between the Eagles and I

661
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: think we see these three young quarterbacks and I kind

662
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: of keep them in the same little bubble, and that

663
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: would be Carson Wentz, Jared Goff, and Dak Prescott. Jack

664
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: or Carson Wentz and Jared Goff got an enormous amount

665
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: of money, and I came up with a philosophy and

666
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna use this moving forward. I'm not plenty premium

667
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,399
Speaker 1: prices for non elite players. I will not do it.

668
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: It's my problem with doing it with Jared Goff. It

669
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: would be my problem with given Dak Prescott thirty five

670
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: million dollars. Listen, Carson Wentz has not proven anything. But

671
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,720
Speaker 1: you don't need to be Jimmy Johnson or Bill Walsh

672
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: to watch Carson Wentz and that Redskins game playing with

673
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 1: Greg war Jr. Which I swear to god I didn't know.

674
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,760
Speaker 1: I kept thinking, like, why does his name sound familiar?

675
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 1: Who is this guy? I've spent all fall watching college

676
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: football twelve hours a day for fifteen straight weeks. I'm like, what,

677
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: I don't remember this guy? He was the Houston quarterback

678
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: two years ago. That's who was his Basically his go

679
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: to wide receiver. Now he still has got Arts and

680
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: got Her and Carson Wentz. You see the talent. It

681
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: is immense. Now will he ever live up to that talent?

682
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, but his physical god given gifts are

683
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: in a different planet than Dak and definitely Jared Goff,

684
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: So you see the guy that again. I think all

685
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: these Niner fans, and I would say Seattle fans, if

686
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: they get in that predicament where they lose that game

687
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: to the Niners and have to play this game, that

688
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,720
Speaker 1: the NFC West team is gonna be favored in that game.

689
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: And I'm just gonna say not so fast as Lee

690
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: Corso would say on game day, Let's just pump the

691
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: brakes a little bit. I'm not saying those teams won't win,

692
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: but I do think it's gonna be a little more difficult.

693
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: And the Cowboys, who are favored in this week against

694
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 1: the Eagles, partly just because they have way better players,

695
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 1: should win this game. I do think they're gonna be

696
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 1: a tough out. Now their coach major question mark. I

697
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 1: think a lot of Cowboy fans would like him to

698
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,240
Speaker 1: lose that game so Jerry would finally fired Jason Garrett

699
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: and then go higher higher urban the Eagles. If they

700
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: do have this upset on Sunday, you would still say, well,

701
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: they're still missing a ton of players. But the one

702
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: thing I'll go back to Philly is bananas. Like that

703
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:53,439
Speaker 1: would be a legitimate playoff home field advantage. We saw

704
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 1: it a couple of years ago when Atlanta came and

705
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 1: then Minnesota came and Doug Peterson and Nick Foles. The

706
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: Atlanta game actually was close. Minnesota game was not in

707
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: that place. Went bananas place would be just going nuts.

708
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, whether they well,

709
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's better than wins, but on a given day,

710
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: Wentz can match him, and he definitely can match or

711
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 1: outplay Jimmy Garoppolo. I don't think this division for as

712
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: much as I keep saying, like should they even make

713
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: the playoffs or whatever, I do think it's gonna be

714
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 1: a little more difficult than people realize. Okay, I know

715
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: Jim Kramer on Mad Money does buy or sell where

716
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,760
Speaker 1: he goes by bye bye bye bye or cell Celles.

717
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 1: Cell I was like, that's I can't just rip that bit,

718
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,839
Speaker 1: So let's just do training up and trending down. We're

719
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: just gonna go through the a f C playoff picture

720
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: one through one through seven. I'm gonna include the Titans,

721
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: who are seventh right now, Steelers are six. I think

722
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: those two teams are gonna fight to get that last spot,

723
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,399
Speaker 1: and we'll just training up trending down, and then I'll

724
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 1: hit on each team. Number one, Ravens trending sky high.

725
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: You know, head into the moon. They've had the best

726
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 1: season start to finish. I mean they didn't start two

727
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,399
Speaker 1: and two. And the one sleeper thing will get into

728
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 1: with Kansas City is Kansas City did beat him. Now

729
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: it was early in the season, but they made Lamar little,

730
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 1: one dimensional, and but since then, Lamar's kicked ass, taking names.

731
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: Nobody cares, work harder. I know Coward on Instagram was

732
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:24,399
Speaker 1: wearing the shirt today, and you know the narrative about

733
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: him winning the m v P, which I'm okay with.

734
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: I I would probably still lean Russell Wilson, but if

735
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: you give the the award to Lamar Jackson, I'm not

736
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: gonna complain. He has shut a lot of people up.

737
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 1: He's done it in a mature, classy way. He's been

738
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: everything that Baker Mayfield was supposed to be. Remember when

739
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 1: all the analytic people were like, Baker Mayfield, he's a

740
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: top five quarterback. No, actually, he's like a bottom twenty

741
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: right now. You know, does even cracking the top twenty.

742
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson has kicked the crap out of that division. Uh,

743
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 1: John Harror, Bob Muscle flex back to back a f C.

744
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 1: North cha Amps Wink Martindale in the defense, despite letting

745
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: guys walk like they always do, they haven't skipped a beat. Uh.

746
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,879
Speaker 1: Signing mark Ingram has been big that stadium at night.

747
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 1: Who's gonna want to play there in January? With those lights?

748
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 1: They're gonna be really freaking tough to beat the Pats. Listen,

749
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: I think they're trending down. You know, people keep asking me,

750
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: do you think Brady's washed? You think Brady's washed? I

751
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: actually think Brady looks the same. He just looks normal.

752
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: He's got two things going against him. One, his offensive

753
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 1: line is struggling to block, and they can't really run

754
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 1: the ball into their passing game like Gronks gone. Julian

755
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: Edelman's hurt. You know, Nikkil Harry probably doesn't really know

756
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,240
Speaker 1: that much of the offense. They're depending on Jacobe Myers,

757
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 1: mohammeds and new has been banged up and hasn't been

758
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: that good. Just a weird pass team. I've been saying

759
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: it now for weeks, and I'm a borderline pat stand.

760
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: I never even knew what stand was until I asked

761
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 1: someone like a month ago and they said it's that

762
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 1: Eminem song. I was like, why is everyone saying this

763
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: on Twitter? And then I'm like, Okay, I get it.

764
00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: The guy that's crazy and the fault of the guy

765
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: to the death. But I listen, I'll be as big

766
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: of a Pats homer that it wasn't from Boston as

767
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: you'll ever meet. But this team is not as good.

768
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,760
Speaker 1: Something is way off, And I get they took over

769
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 1: in that Bengal game, but Brady couldn't crack a hundred

770
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: fifty yards passing. It took multiple picks and one was

771
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: the pick six by what might be the defensive player

772
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: of the year. Their defense is really good, so I'm

773
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: not saying like the Paths are just some shoeing to

774
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: be bounced to be a one and done team and

775
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be easy to win in Foxborough. But

776
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: even the die hard Pats fans would be the first

777
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,959
Speaker 1: to admit this is their most flawed team of the

778
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: of the decade, of all the teams that had a

779
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: legit chance to win the Super Bowl, probably since that team.

780
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: I actually think they're worse that team that lost to Denver.

781
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 1: Would that have been January of two thousand sixteen when

782
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 1: von Miller and DeMarcus Ware just worked their offensive line

783
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: and I think Ronk was banged up then. But this

784
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 1: team is worse than that team. And you know some

785
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: of these teams in the playoffs have already beat him.

786
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: The Chiefs, I think they're clearly trending up. And the

787
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,399
Speaker 1: number one thing that stands out to me I saw

788
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: Albert Brewer wrote this in his MMQB piece this morning.

789
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: Four straight games with under twenty points allowed Steve Spagnola

790
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 1: and that defense is really coming on. You can't watch

791
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs play without Honey Badger making a play. I

792
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: love freaking the Honey Badger. He's like one of my

793
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: favorite players in the league. Character reject out of college

794
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 1: who's gone on to be a team captain for three teams.

795
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: Then he's just I mean, they love him in Kansas City.

796
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 1: How could you not high character? Smart, badass winner. The

797
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: more he's around your guys, he'll start to, you know,

798
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: inject just what he brings to the table. Then their

799
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 1: front four is playing a lot better. Frank Clark, Chris Jones,

800
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: we know how potent their offense can be. Coach Reid

801
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,840
Speaker 1: is one of the best play callers in modern football.

802
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 1: Mahomes is talented as you'll get. Tyreks a freak, Kelsey's

803
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: a baller. Their offensive line will be good. You know,

804
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,839
Speaker 1: I think this could be Kansas Cities year. They would.

805
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: Now I'm a little bias, but I really do think that.

806
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: And they've flown under the radar a little bit. They

807
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:06,839
Speaker 1: had that rough stretch where Mahomes got hurt and they

808
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: lost the game with more and then they lost the

809
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: Titans with with Mahomes. But man, I think they're good

810
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,840
Speaker 1: the Texans. I would just put them at neutral because

811
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: every time you're like they're trending down, then they'll beat

812
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: the Patriots by I know the score was tight, but

813
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: the game felt like they blew them out and then

814
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, they suck because they get blown out

815
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 1: by Drew Lock and then they come back like I

816
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 1: take the Titans and then they kicked the Titans ask

817
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,240
Speaker 1: and again I know that score was tight, the game

818
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,839
Speaker 1: was actually they were in much more control. I mean,

819
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 1: the Titans got whooped, took a couple red zone turnovers,

820
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 1: uh from the Shawn Watson. So I would just put

821
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 1: the Texans as neutral and just a team that I

822
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: would just try to avoid, because when they are on

823
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: they can just be really, really potent on offense. Watson, Hopkins, Fuller,

824
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 1: Stills defense a little hit or miss, but Romeo is

825
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: a really good coach. So that's just there the wild

826
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: card in this whole thing. Then the Bills clearly trending up.

827
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: They have a fatal flaw that their offense is just

828
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: isn't very good. You know, Josh Allen is not very accurate.

829
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: Though I find myself rooting for him, you know, I

830
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: I really do. I want Josh Allen to succeed, and

831
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: he's a great guy. He just got a fatal flaw

832
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,760
Speaker 1: and that's just accuracy. But their defense is top notch.

833
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott took a team that didn't make the playoffs

834
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: since two thousand and now he's going for the second

835
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: time in three years. A franchise that was like I

836
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: talked about earlier in the same vein as the Raiders,

837
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:36,439
Speaker 1: as the Browns, as the Redskins, And now they're not

838
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 1: in that vein anymore. Now they're in the vein of

839
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 1: a big boy franchise, of a winning franchise, of a

840
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: team that actually looks like if Josh can take a

841
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: step accurate accuracy wise, why couldn't they be a consistent

842
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 1: playoff team for the next decade. I mean, they got

843
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,359
Speaker 1: a big time head coach. Look at Carolina since Sean

844
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: mcdermots left, you know, I know we love talking about

845
00:44:56,600 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 1: you know when when Cam Newton was healthy, Well, do

846
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,840
Speaker 1: you notice the trend when Sean McDermott left things changed

847
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: a little bit? Then, Uh, you gotta tip your hat

848
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: to the Bills, big Sean McDermott fan. You never sleep

849
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 1: on a skinny ball guy on a mission with a

850
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: big time defense, the Bills. That Bills, you know, it's

851
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: it's a lock to be that. You know, afternoon ESPN

852
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 1: playoff game Houston against the Bills. Signed me up for that,

853
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: and then we got the Steelers. You gotta go training

854
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:25,800
Speaker 1: down because as you saw with Duck Hodges, the better

855
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 1: teams they play, it's gonna be hard for them to

856
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: score points. But whether they make the playoffs or not,

857
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 1: it's been an incredible impressive season from the organization. I

858
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: thought they were crazy. I think most people thought they

859
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: were crazy when they traded a first round pay for

860
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 1: Menca Fitzpatrick. Well, he's been one of the best players

861
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: in the league all season. Their defense has been fantastic.

862
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: Their receivers look pretty good. Their offense looks pretty good

863
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,479
Speaker 1: except their quarterback. Now, I think the big questions marks

864
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 1: what are they going to do this offseason with quarterbacks?

865
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: They drafted Mason Rudolf two years ago in the third round.

866
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 1: He got bench for a guy named Duck, so his careers. Sorry, Mason,

867
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 1: you you're done in Pittsburgh. Duck Hodge is clearly not

868
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 1: good enough to be your sharter. Roethlisbergert eight, he looks

869
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 1: about three seventy pounds right now. With that Brett Keisel beard,

870
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 1: there's a chance he's never the same. Now. The problem

871
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,720
Speaker 1: is they're not gonna have a first round pick because

872
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: they gave it to Miami. Would they be in the

873
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,879
Speaker 1: you know, Andy Dalton, maybe if Derek Carr gets cut

874
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 1: someone like that, I think that would behoove them to

875
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 1: make a move like that. Then the Tennessee Titans, I

876
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 1: would say also trending, just not trending down. I know

877
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 1: they lost, but they have still had a really good

878
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: season and they have been one of the hottest teams

879
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: in the league. I wouldn't say they're trending up because

880
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 1: the Texas just kind of kill him at in Nashville.

881
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 1: I would say they're just neutral, and if all things

882
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: were equal, I would say that they would be more

883
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 1: dangerous if they made the playoffs than the Steelers, just

884
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: because Ryan tamney Hill is a far superior player than

885
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: Duck Hodges. And the other thing with Tennessee is like

886
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 1: they got something in a J. Brown. That guy can

887
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: play Derrick Henry Baer, Vrabel sweet Mustache, also a solid coach.

888
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:05,919
Speaker 1: Like Tennessee is gonna be a good team. I would

889
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,359
Speaker 1: imagine they franchise Ryan Tannehill at the end of the year.

890
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: They still play the Texans in Week seventeen, I think

891
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: they play I think they play the Saints this week,

892
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 1: so that'll that'll be tough. But Shanks are coming off

893
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 1: a short week, uh So I would say that my

894
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,240
Speaker 1: teams that are trending neutral would both be the Houston

895
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:27,800
Speaker 1: Texans and the Tennessee Titans, and Pats would be the

896
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: only team trending down. The Ravens, the Chiefs, the Bills

897
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:35,760
Speaker 1: are all playing pretty well. Okay, let's go some weekend thoughts.

898
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 1: A lot happened starting with Let's start with Saturday Night

899
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 1: and Joe Burrow. If you haven't got a chance to

900
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 1: watch the speech, just google it. It would go to YouTube.

901
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 1: I heard that that website called YouTube y O YouTube

902
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 1: uh gets uh puts videos on there. You can search.

903
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,840
Speaker 1: I think it's the most second biggest search engine beside Google,

904
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: and you can probably watch it. Type in Oburrow Heisman speech.

905
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 1: It was powerful that there really is no way around it,

906
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: Like it's if you just have any compassion or emotion

907
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 1: in your body, you kind of feel it. When he

908
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: was talking, and two things really jumped out. One he

909
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: spoke about I saw a bunch of people tweeting about this.

910
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: He spoke about the poverty where he came from. I

911
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: don't really I have to ask some of my scouting

912
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 1: buddies what this guy's background. I didn't know he came

913
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:28,439
Speaker 1: from poor, a poor area. Maybe he didn't grow up poor,

914
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 1: but he was around it, but I guess that they've

915
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:36,319
Speaker 1: raised like a hundred thousand dollars since he kind of

916
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 1: gave his speech. So you know, it's whenever you have

917
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 1: a platform. You know. The one thing about politicians, they

918
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:43,879
Speaker 1: talk a big game about helping the poor, but it's

919
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 1: not really their go to move. So it's cool that

920
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow and I wasn't even trying to get political there.

921
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:51,359
Speaker 1: It's just just a fact, you know, people don't really

922
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 1: help the poor. They just talked about it a lot.

923
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 1: And Joe Burrow, you know that he also think that

924
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 1: the oseron and that was really really powerful, and he

925
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,320
Speaker 1: just talked about how the guy gave him a shot,

926
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:06,800
Speaker 1: you know. And I and I've been kind of making

927
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: fun of L. S U every time they tweet, you know,

928
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: like this guy had no one that believed in him, Like, bro,

929
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 1: you went to Ohio State and then you transferred L

930
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 1: s U. But I was reading more about it. I

931
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 1: guess he wasn't that big of a recruit. You know,

932
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 1: he wasn't your typical Ohio State football recruit as a quarterback.

933
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 1: But still he did go to Ohio State out of

934
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: high school. So I'm not gonna act like he was

935
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 1: just you know, Johnny try hard. They overcame some walk

936
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:38,239
Speaker 1: on spots, but at Ogeron did give him the keys

937
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: of the car and to run the l s U

938
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 1: you know program when we're starting quarterback in the SEC

939
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 1: for one of the most talented programs in the country.

940
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 1: And clearly the guy put in a lot of offseason work,

941
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 1: them hiring Jill Brady from the New Orleans Saints. The

942
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: combination they beat the crap out everyone this year and

943
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 1: they've been, you know, definitely the most fun team to

944
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: watch them in Ohio State. Jared got his biggest problem

945
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 1: is just not mobile, Like he can't move at all.

946
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 1: I mean at all. And Kevin Clark of The Ringer

947
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 1: had just a fantastic tweet that basically said I don't

948
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:14,720
Speaker 1: have in front of me, but I know the gist

949
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 1: of it that said, you know what's really fun is

950
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: next year when Jared Goff's cap number jumps from ten

951
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 1: to thirty six million dollars. Jared Goff's cap number is

952
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 1: thirty six million dollars. Again, I'm a Jared Goff fan.

953
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 1: I understand the quarterback market, but he wasn't a free agent.

954
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 1: He still had multiple years on his contract. You know,

955
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: the quarterback markets going open up and up. I get it. Yeah,

956
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 1: for Drew Brees and Russell Wilson. What just I I

957
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 1: don't get it. Man, thirty six million dollars. He's just

958
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,359
Speaker 1: not that good of a player. And again I'm a fan.

959
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: The Pat's camera situation. One thing men do. And I

960
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:58,400
Speaker 1: can just speak for men. I think women can be

961
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 1: a little bit better liars. But I guess I can

962
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 1: lie well too. But when we are caught red handed,

963
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:08,720
Speaker 1: I would say guys are terrible. When we're caught red handed,

964
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:13,880
Speaker 1: we usually say the dumbest things imaginable. And the video

965
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 1: that Jay Glazer talked about on the Fox pregame show

966
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 1: and played the video of the guy being caught red

967
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:22,240
Speaker 1: handed and just pretending like, no, bro, I'll just delete

968
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: the film, and the Cincinnati police officer security guy was like, no, man,

969
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 1: that's not the way this works. There's no deleting the film.

970
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: Give me the film like you were caught. He's like, no, man,

971
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: it was just nothing. I was just like playing around,

972
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 1: like you know, I'll just delete it. Don't even have

973
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 1: a computer here. I don't know if Belichick was involved.

974
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, you can never dis count

975
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 1: anything with the Patriots, but if you have you know,

976
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,799
Speaker 1: any common sense, or have been around the block just

977
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 1: one time in your life, that guy is guiltiest jars.

978
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: You know that that guy was doing something shady and

979
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 1: he was nailed bad loss by the forty Diners. I

980
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 1: understand they were missing a lot of guys, you know,

981
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 1: multiple starters on defense, and the Falcons are just one

982
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 1: of those weird bad teams. They got an m v P,

983
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 1: a former MVP on their team. They got Julio Jones

984
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 1: when the best wide receivers ever on their team, and

985
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 1: Julio kicked their ass and they had no answer for

986
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan at the end of the game. Just like

987
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 1: the pick of the stick years ago when Navaro Bowman

988
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 1: picked them off, they were driving right down the field.

989
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:28,280
Speaker 1: Navaro Bowman picked that ball off and as Mike Terrico

990
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 1: said as he jumped in the end zone, the forty

991
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 1: Niners are going to the playoffs. Well, the forty Niners

992
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 1: are going to the playoffs because the Rams lost, but

993
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:37,400
Speaker 1: they didn't want to go to the playoffs this way. Now,

994
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, this game doesn't necessarily

995
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:43,840
Speaker 1: determine their seating because it's all more than likely going

996
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 1: to come down to Week seventeen at Seattle, but that

997
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,319
Speaker 1: that was not an ideal loss. Though. Sitting on my

998
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 1: couch watching the game, I'm like, this game's boring. And

999
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:54,319
Speaker 1: part of the reason it was boring is because we

1000
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: were just coming off the Saints forty niner game. It's like,

1001
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 1: you know, the highest of highs to And if I

1002
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 1: felt like that, imagine the players felt like that, the

1003
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 1: crowd felt like that. You could just feel it. You

1004
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 1: can feel it through the television, and they deserve to

1005
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 1: lose because they didn't play that well. Urban Meyer, you know,

1006
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 1: does any guy let me say this, I think he

1007
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 1: is easily one of the best coaches I've ever seen Collegiately.

1008
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 1: You could argue he's hand in hand right there, right

1009
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 1: with Nick. But he left Florida after one of his

1010
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 1: players were murdering people, cheating, scandals left and right, players

1011
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 1: getting in trouble, and he had an illness, So then

1012
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:34,759
Speaker 1: he bounces and then a year later he's at the

1013
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 1: Ohio State and then in Ohio State towards the end.

1014
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 1: Did he really retire or did they just kind of

1015
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 1: say the Zack Smith issue and he was sick, but

1016
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 1: he's he's one of those classic I'm sick. You need

1017
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 1: to spend more time with my family. Now he's thinking

1018
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 1: about going to the NFL, so like I always need

1019
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 1: to spend more time with my family. Isn't that what

1020
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 1: Great Shiano said when he left New England Patriots like

1021
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 1: three months ago and now he's the head coach at Records?

1022
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:58,760
Speaker 1: Did you really want to spend time with your family

1023
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: or you just not want to work for New England?

1024
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 1: But when they when Rutgers called not for you twenty

1025
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 1: five million, you're like, actually, I'm I'm cool with my family. Now,

1026
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,439
Speaker 1: see you guys later. I thought you were really sick

1027
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 1: Urban or are you just gonna coach in the NFL? Now?

1028
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:14,360
Speaker 1: Is he trying to play Jerry Jones go to the

1029
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 1: Redskins game, sit with Dan Snyder. He does have several

1030
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 1: former players on the Redskins, so it's not out of

1031
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 1: the realm of possibility. I know. I think mclarence was

1032
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 1: the last name. The really good rookie receiver said he

1033
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:28,759
Speaker 1: wanted him to come. Obviously, Dwayne Haskins, I'm sure wanted

1034
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 1: him to come, but it was pretty clear online that

1035
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:33,760
Speaker 1: it was like he's trying to make a leverage play

1036
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 1: to get Jerry Jones offer more money. I don't know.

1037
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 1: I think Meyer is a fantastic coach. You know, the character,

1038
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 1: the faking, you know, some of the stuff that's happened.

1039
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: Some of the red flags on his resume are undisputable

1040
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 1: that that they exist. But if Jerry Jones can land him,

1041
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 1: that would be he's away better. He's forgotten more as

1042
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 1: a coach than Jason Garrett's known. That's not even debatable.

1043
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 1: If he the Cowboys head coach, they would win. And

1044
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 1: the good thing is in the NFL, we don't judge

1045
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 1: like I don't. We don't do morals in the NFL.

1046
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 1: But in college, which with Urban loves talking about it

1047
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 1: like urban, do you really like morals? Because your entire

1048
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:15,400
Speaker 1: team at Florida was on the payroll and getting in

1049
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 1: trouble and then you went to Ohio State, Wow, you

1050
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 1: did clean it up a little bit. You did have

1051
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:23,520
Speaker 1: an issue with that assistant coach, so you know, you

1052
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:26,359
Speaker 1: just you gotta resume that's a little sketchy. You are

1053
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 1: a fantastic coach. You actually might be more suited for

1054
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:32,280
Speaker 1: the NFL because we don't do morals. My only issue

1055
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 1: with Urban Meyer is he never stops talking about leadership

1056
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 1: and character and then you check the resume. And when

1057
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:38,720
Speaker 1: I was dating and you check the resume in Florida,

1058
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:40,880
Speaker 1: You're like, it doesn't really add up. You know, it's Belichick.

1059
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:43,319
Speaker 1: I don't ever crushing for his morals. Mainly, we don't care.

1060
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: We're just black and white league. Just win loose. That's it.

1061
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 1: In college, it's about, you know, growing young men. Well,

1062
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:53,919
Speaker 1: there's a lot of gray area in college. Yet Urban

1063
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,880
Speaker 1: just triesatly. I'm a I'm a great guy. Aaron Hernandez

1064
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 1: blastomed people on your watch, buddy, Eli mannings five hundred again,

1065
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:06,359
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, I don't really have a take other

1066
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 1: than good for Eli. He got back to five. Mr Whisky,

1067
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:13,360
Speaker 1: I guess said some things after the game, how he

1068
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 1: wished Matt Naggy would get him on the move a

1069
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 1: little bit more. It's like, Mitch, I don't even know

1070
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 1: if he if he was trying to, like, you know,

1071
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 1: be put the onus on Naggie at all, but just Mitch,

1072
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 1: just keep your mouth shut. Bro. You've been horrendous all

1073
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 1: season except like two games against bad opponents. Let's just

1074
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 1: be quiet. Let's just play the year out these last

1075
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 1: couple of games and send Ryan Pace a Christmas card

1076
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 1: with in the card say please pick up my fifth

1077
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 1: year option. And if they pick up their fifth year option,

1078
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:52,319
Speaker 1: Ryan Paces is nuts. Ryan Pace, he needs to put

1079
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 1: down the drugs and the alcohol if he picks up Mr.

1080
00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 1: Whisky's option, because it's clear he's not a fifth year

1081
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 1: option quarterback that's worth picking up. Jameis Winston, what a

1082
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 1: bizarre season. I mean, he's got fifty picks, he's got

1083
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:12,400
Speaker 1: fifty touchdowns, he's got ten thousand yards. Somehow Bruce arians

1084
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: took this bad Buccaneers team and their seven and seven.

1085
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 1: It wasn't that long ago. They were two and six,

1086
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 1: and they were three and seven. Now there're seven and seven.

1087
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 1: But what do they do with Jamis? I think legitimately

1088
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 1: has twenty seven touchdowns, twenty three picks, but every time

1089
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 1: you look up, he's got four touchdowns. Now I think

1090
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: he's thrown five first drive interceptions. That's got to be

1091
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 1: a single season record. Five first drive interceptions. The Buccaneers

1092
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 1: are four and one in those games. James WinCE is

1093
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 1: gonna be a free agent. What do they do. I

1094
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 1: was thinking about it today. I was like, what number

1095
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 1: would I offer them, because I've lifted to different people

1096
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 1: talk about it though, like I would not do a

1097
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:50,439
Speaker 1: long term deal. I would just franchise him. I think

1098
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 1: what I do if I was arians and assuming he

1099
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 1: likes them, which I think he does, I don't offer

1100
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 1: him like a three year deal sixty million dollars and

1101
00:57:59,840 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 1: I guarantee like of it give you so way less

1102
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 1: than like Jimmy Garoppolo and car got and obviously way

1103
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 1: less per year, but that's a lot of money. Would

1104
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 1: Jamis accept that deal? And I would be putting deals

1105
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 1: like that on the table right now now. I was

1106
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 1: thinking about it also today. The wild card would be

1107
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 1: I could see John Gruden given Jamis Winston a lot

1108
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 1: of money, you know, because he's aggressive, he's kind of

1109
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 1: a gun slinger. I could see the Raiders being kind

1110
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:30,200
Speaker 1: of the team that would come in on Jamis. So

1111
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if Jamis would sign that deal. So

1112
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:36,120
Speaker 1: that's a great part about the NFL that says in

1113
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 1: the NBA, you just franchise them. But I think it's

1114
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 1: pretty clear that Jamis Winston, despite having multiple games this

1115
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 1: year of like four and five interceptions. That about mid season,

1116
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:50,440
Speaker 1: when they were three and seventy's throwing picks left and right.

1117
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 1: I was like, this guy is done. But a great

1118
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:54,920
Speaker 1: part about sports just when you think you're done, the

1119
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 1: guys back alive again. And Jamison now we're talking about

1120
00:58:57,200 --> 00:59:00,840
Speaker 1: how much money they're gonna give him only in the NFL. Man, Okay,

1121
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 1: let's get to the Middlecoff bail Bag, that's where we

1122
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:07,280
Speaker 1: talk and answer your questions. Mail bag Eagles fan here,

1123
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 1: where are you currently on Wentz Dack debate? Right now?

1124
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 1: And gut feeling? Who do you think coaches the Cowboys

1125
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 1: next year? I think it's rban Meyer. Like I said, uh,

1126
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 1: I would take wins now. I think Dak has played

1127
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 1: better than Carson this year. But again, like I I was,

1128
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:32,160
Speaker 1: I learned football from from Howie Andy and just the

1129
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:34,920
Speaker 1: players that we were bringing in Philly and that mindset.

1130
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 1: I leaned talent, and Carson is just dramatically more talented

1131
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 1: than Dak, and I like dak leadership. Colin talks about

1132
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 1: all the time, the intangibles off the charts. He's actually

1133
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:49,040
Speaker 1: pretty good latent games and tight games definitely has been

1134
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 1: before in his career, I have to break down the numbers.

1135
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 1: This year, it feels like they've got their as kicked

1136
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:57,280
Speaker 1: a little bit. But I'm I'm a DAK fan, just

1137
00:59:57,320 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 1: like Jared Goffe. If I had to rank them, I'd

1138
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:04,640
Speaker 1: go when and stacked Jared Goff. Hey, John never miss

1139
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 1: a show. I appreciate it. How much more will the

1140
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 1: Niner fans hate the Seahawks after Russell Wilson rips their

1141
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 1: hearts out after Week seventeen to lock up the NFC

1142
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:15,919
Speaker 1: West a first round, buying a potential number one seed.

1143
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:18,440
Speaker 1: It's gonna happen. I know it. You know it. Everyone

1144
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 1: knows it. Time is yours, Andy Reid boys. Uh yeah

1145
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 1: it would. Uh. But see, I don't hate Russell Wilson.

1146
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:28,440
Speaker 1: I I as someone that's had a front row seat

1147
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 1: just I'm an NFC and an f C West guy.

1148
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 1: Watched I just watch a lot of those two divisions,

1149
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:37,800
Speaker 1: always have. But I think Russell Wilson is one of

1150
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 1: my favorite players ever. I would say my favorite player ever.

1151
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 1: You're always a little nostalgic, right who you grow up on?

1152
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 1: You know, I was born in northern California. I love

1153
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 1: Steve Young, and I think this I think Russell is

1154
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 1: a better version of Steve Young. I don't. I've always

1155
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 1: have been trying to get Steve Young the interview on

1156
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:57,640
Speaker 1: it as an interview forever, but can't nail him down.

1157
01:00:58,080 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 1: But I'd love to ask him if he thinks he's

1158
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:03,439
Speaker 1: better and Russell Wilson. Uh, Now they're different a little bit.

1159
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 1: And when I you know, eighty four, so by the

1160
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 1: time I really locked into watching football, like nine three,

1161
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 1: Steve was older. You know, you see some of those

1162
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 1: clips where Steve looked like to Lamar Jackson, It's like

1163
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 1: a white Lamar Jackson. I I don't think another Like

1164
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 1: if Breeze is over underrated historically, I think Steve Young's

1165
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: elite athleticism is one of the most underrated things in

1166
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:29,480
Speaker 1: NFL history. You know, we often make fun of like

1167
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 1: a little white guy. Oh the Patriots will like him.

1168
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:34,480
Speaker 1: Like with Steve Young have been the ultimate Bill Belichick player,

1169
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:38,800
Speaker 1: I mean, freak athlete, freak, and then he learned to

1170
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:41,240
Speaker 1: be just a really accurate pastor. And the Steve Young

1171
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 1: I grew up on really looked and played much more

1172
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 1: like a left handed Drew Brees with a little Russell Wilson.

1173
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:51,640
Speaker 1: But Russell like he doesn't run that much. He scrambles

1174
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:54,000
Speaker 1: behind the line of scrimmage, but it's more to throw.

1175
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 1: And man, he was a stud. I mean Steve Young,

1176
01:01:57,880 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 1: Steve Young and Russell Wilson two of my my favorite players ever.

1177
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 1: But back to what you said, Yeah, I mean I

1178
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 1: I don't have I don't have faith. I mean he

1179
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:11,760
Speaker 1: owns the Niners, owns the Niners. It feels like Curry

1180
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 1: and Clay against the Rockets, like it's just it's just

1181
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 1: own it. I mean, it's just as my guy Mike

1182
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 1: Cruco would say, it's own it. He's got own it.

1183
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:24,120
Speaker 1: Giants fan from Connecticut, I think Connecticut is at CT.

1184
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:27,919
Speaker 1: Is there anyway scenario you see them not taking Chase Young.

1185
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:33,600
Speaker 1: I have to look at the draft order, but they

1186
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 1: won a game with Eli. That's not ideal. I see,

1187
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 1: if I can bring it up as I'm talking, I

1188
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:40,760
Speaker 1: think the problem for the Giants is gonna be are

1189
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 1: they gonna be drafting in the top three because if

1190
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:49,440
Speaker 1: quarterbacks go, here are right now the draft order. Let's

1191
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 1: go expanded standings playoff league. Okay, so as of right now,

1192
01:02:56,480 --> 01:03:00,520
Speaker 1: it would go the Bengals, the Redskins, and the Giants. Well,

1193
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:04,160
Speaker 1: that's not good for the Giants because the Redskins did

1194
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:06,920
Speaker 1: just draft a quarterback in the first round. So unless

1195
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:09,840
Speaker 1: the Redskins trade back, which would be on the table.

1196
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:13,320
Speaker 1: You would think maybe the Dolphins trade up to get

1197
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:17,680
Speaker 1: a quarterback, maybe the Lions do, maybe the Chargers do.

1198
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:21,439
Speaker 1: So it's not inconceivable. Yeah, I would say they would

1199
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:24,160
Speaker 1: have to take Chase Young. I mean, honestly, is there

1200
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:27,920
Speaker 1: another option beside Chase Young for them? It's kind of

1201
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:31,160
Speaker 1: crazy they trade. They passed on Josh Allen this year.

1202
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:36,760
Speaker 1: Raiders worth loss since the Super Bowl? Yeah, I mean

1203
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 1: they lost to a four win Jaguars team that wanted

1204
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:46,480
Speaker 1: to quit. It's pretty awful, especially when you factor in

1205
01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 1: last game, you know, at the Colosseum. It's just a

1206
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 1: devastating loss. Next question, how does Gruden get the reputation

1207
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 1: as an offensive guru. Raiders offense continues to fall flat.

1208
01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:01,240
Speaker 1: Car regrassed. Williams regressed his Tampa Bay Super Bowl was

1209
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:03,439
Speaker 1: because of the defense. Any chance he brings it someone

1210
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 1: to take over the offense and the play calls, I

1211
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:10,520
Speaker 1: think the answer is Jake Gruden. I mean, is Jay

1212
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:14,240
Speaker 1: Gruden John's offensive coordinator? Next year. But here's the problem.

1213
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 1: If John Gruden brings in Jay Gruden next year, what

1214
01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:18,600
Speaker 1: the hell are you paying John Gruden a hunter million

1215
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 1: dollars for? Part of the reason you're paying him a

1216
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:23,280
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars is to call freaking plays. That's a

1217
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 1: reason John Payton makes so much. That's a reason. And

1218
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 1: he makes so much as Sean McVeigh got a big

1219
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,400
Speaker 1: contra extension. That's some Meason. Kyle Shanahan makes a lot

1220
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:32,680
Speaker 1: of money. Pay these guys to call place, you know.

1221
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,080
Speaker 1: That's when you're an offensive head coach. I want you

1222
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:37,560
Speaker 1: to call play. Bill O'Brien's calling plays. I want my

1223
01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:41,120
Speaker 1: guy Bruce arians technically not calling plays, but it feels

1224
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:43,120
Speaker 1: like he plays a big role. I want my guys

1225
01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 1: calling plays, you know, so I if he can't call plays,

1226
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:53,320
Speaker 1: does he give me some money back. Thoughts on Wentz

1227
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:55,160
Speaker 1: and the Eagles today. I thought Wentz had the best

1228
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:57,840
Speaker 1: throw of his career today. Yeah. That that passed that

1229
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:00,240
Speaker 1: went viral to Miles Sanders in the back to the

1230
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:06,600
Speaker 1: end zone was just a stupid pass. I mean stupid

1231
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:09,720
Speaker 1: in a good way on the move to his right

1232
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 1: past his own offensive player. Two redskin defenders and then

1233
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:17,760
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders in the back of the end zone. It

1234
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:21,800
Speaker 1: was just a rope again. I'm a Wentz, I'm a

1235
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:25,120
Speaker 1: sucker for Carson Wentz the talent. Just a freak, just

1236
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:31,160
Speaker 1: an absolute freak show. And he's been awesome the last

1237
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:34,920
Speaker 1: second half of the but last two weeks he was

1238
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:41,200
Speaker 1: He made some freakish plays. Terrible outcome for the Raiders,

1239
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 1: really ugly loss. Question for you about the Jets. Do

1240
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 1: you feel there are many concerns in the building around

1241
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 1: Gaze and Donald. Donald looks patchy and a bit lost

1242
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 1: at times, similar to what we saw from Tanny Hill

1243
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 1: in Miami under Gaze. Now Tanny Hill looks good in Tennessee.

1244
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:58,200
Speaker 1: Is there questions around Gaze working with young quarterbacks? Well,

1245
01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 1: Adams star really rose right. It was two things. One

1246
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:05,720
Speaker 1: was Peyton Manning loved him because the guy was a nut,

1247
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:08,080
Speaker 1: didn't sleep. Peyton could text him at like one in

1248
01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 1: the morning about like a coverage and Adam would text

1249
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:15,040
Speaker 1: two seconds later. So they read. They read like fell

1250
01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:17,720
Speaker 1: in love that way, they fell in football love. And

1251
01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 1: then he went to Chicago. And remember Jay Cutler, who

1252
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 1: had been sucking, had a really good season under him,

1253
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:26,760
Speaker 1: so you're like, Damn, Adam Gates can do it. This

1254
01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 1: year has been weird, Like is Adam Gaze a bad coach?

1255
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I thought he was a good coach,

1256
01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:35,160
Speaker 1: but then this year, I don't even really know what

1257
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:37,919
Speaker 1: to say. I think you could counter and say, well,

1258
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 1: Sam Donald got mono week one of the season, they

1259
01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 1: went to that Monday night game with Luke Falk. I'm

1260
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:49,920
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna reserve some judgment before I come with

1261
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:52,520
Speaker 1: a strong take. I gotta see one more season, give

1262
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 1: him an off season with Joe Douglas, build, get some

1263
01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:59,360
Speaker 1: players around. Donald. Gaze needs to relax a little bit,

1264
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 1: like bro, lift your hat a little bit, trim the beard.

1265
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:05,400
Speaker 1: You're in the NFL. Let's just try to win some

1266
01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:09,720
Speaker 1: football games. I know there are a lot of injuries

1267
01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:11,840
Speaker 1: on the defense, but where the hell is the pass rush?

1268
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:14,280
Speaker 1: D Ford has been hurt, but he's been in and

1269
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:17,160
Speaker 1: out all season Since the Ravens game, which wasn't a

1270
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:19,320
Speaker 1: pass rush game. The d line has been some bar Well,

1271
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:21,480
Speaker 1: there's only been two games since, but how do you

1272
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:24,120
Speaker 1: let Julio beat you on the final drive without Calvin Ridley.

1273
01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 1: I would take my chance as anyone else beside Julio Jones.

1274
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:32,760
Speaker 1: I agree. I don't understand how they let Julio Jones

1275
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 1: beat him, Like I don't pretend to be Bill Parcels

1276
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 1: or Bill Belichick or Jim Johnson or Sean McDermott or

1277
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 1: any anyone on defense that knows about you know, in

1278
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:46,600
Speaker 1: depth coverages. But I know, on a final drive, when

1279
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:49,120
Speaker 1: you're facing the Atlanta Falcons and Calvin Ridley's on I

1280
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:51,840
Speaker 1: R and Mohammed Sanu has been traded to the Patriots,

1281
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 1: I am putting two guys on Julio Jones like it's punted,

1282
01:07:56,600 --> 01:07:58,440
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna have those guys attacking the guy like

1283
01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:01,960
Speaker 1: he's the gunner. And under no circumstances is that guy

1284
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:04,920
Speaker 1: beating me. I like the Warriors. If Stephan Clay are

1285
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:07,680
Speaker 1: gonna beat me, so be it. Draymond Green, you're gonna

1286
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 1: have to or I mean not so be it. That's

1287
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:11,680
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. Draymond Green. If you beat me, so

1288
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:14,080
Speaker 1: be it, but you're gonna shoot threes, not those two guys.

1289
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:17,080
Speaker 1: Julio Jones is not beating me because I know on

1290
01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 1: this field, Julo Jones the best player in the field

1291
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:21,040
Speaker 1: now George Kittle has an argument, but I lean Julio.

1292
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:23,120
Speaker 1: He has been doing it longer. He's going right to

1293
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. He's one of the best receivers

1294
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 1: we've ever seen. We're missing Richard Sherman, We're missing our

1295
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:31,360
Speaker 1: nickel corner. I putting two guys on him, and it's like, well,

1296
01:08:31,360 --> 01:08:33,479
Speaker 1: it throws off the defense. I don't give a ship.

1297
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:36,280
Speaker 1: I'm putting two guys on him and not allowing him

1298
01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:37,920
Speaker 1: to catch the ball. If they throw it to some

1299
01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:42,000
Speaker 1: other random receiver or even Austin Hooper, I'll live with it.

1300
01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:45,040
Speaker 1: But I'm not letting Julio Jones have a walk off touchdown.

1301
01:08:45,280 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, we just my guy sagged off

1302
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:50,880
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's and he hit the game winning shot. It's like,

1303
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:55,080
Speaker 1: I can't do that. Appreciate everyone listening. Have a good week.

1304
01:08:55,400 --> 01:09:07,720
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening. Audio, Secia and s
