1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: Welcome to the best of the week for What's Right 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: with Nick Right the best takes in moments from this 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: week on the show. Enjoy. 4 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,799 Speaker 2: So the yearly top tens have come out of First off, 5 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 2: we've got the quarterbacks. So executive coaches and scouts all 6 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 2: vote on this. Patrick Mahomes, your guy was at number one. 7 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 2: Weirdly enough, Jalen Hurts was number nine. Nick Sirian, Who's 8 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 2: asked about this and if Philly carried Jalen Hurts to 9 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl Syrian and called bs So, what is this? 10 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 3: Is this disrespectful? 11 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 2: Obviously Hurts his two Super Bowl appearances in the last 12 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 2: three years, thirty seven to ten in the last three seasons. 13 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 3: What's going on with that? Justin Hurt? 14 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: So, I do think it's Yeah, So I do think 15 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: it's disrespectful, and I think that people have to be 16 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: willing to move their opinion based on things that happen 17 00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: after you have formed your opinion. It is totally fine. 18 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: And this is maybe self serving of me to say, 19 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 1: because I'm going to describe kind of my opinion evolution 20 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: on Jalen Hurts. I think it is totally fine to 21 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: be like, Listen, there were times last season that I 22 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: thought the weak link of the Philadelphia Eagles offense was 23 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 1: their quarterback. That and that can be. That was actually 24 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: the exact, that exact opinion of mine. It was the 25 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: subject of the animated more than a little awkward conversation 26 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: I had the night before the Super Bowl with or 27 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: two nights for the Super Bowl, one of them with 28 00:01:53,360 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: Jalen's mother, when she confronted probably too strong, proached me 29 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: and I at first didn't If you guys didn't hear 30 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: the story. We were at a super Bowl party. I'm 31 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 1: standing there. A woman walks up and she's like, to 32 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: ask you a question. I said yeah, and she was like, 33 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: why do you talk so bad about Jalen Hurts? And 34 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: then I'm like, well, I don't know that I talk 35 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: bad about him, and she's like, no, you do. And 36 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: then you know, I give my defense of my takes. 37 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: She comes back, and then about six seven minutes into it, 38 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: I say, miss may I may I ask you a 39 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: question and she said yes. I said are you Jalen's mother? 40 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: And she said yes. And I was like, oh boy, 41 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: we're in a We're in a trickier spot than I 42 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: had thought. And one of the things that I said 43 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: to her. I was like, listen, I just I want 44 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: you to know the things I have said and the 45 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: things I haven't said, right for good or for bad. 46 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,079 Speaker 1: I was like, and something I have said that I'm 47 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: sure you would think is totally unfair, as I did 48 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: call him the weak link of the Philly offense. I 49 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: was like, now, contextually, you should know. I did say 50 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: that within the framework of they have a top three 51 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: offensive line, a top three receiving corps, and a top 52 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: one but top three running back. So if he just 53 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: simply is not a top three quarterback in that framework, 54 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: he would be the weak link because everyone else is. 55 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: But it so it wasn't that was going the weak 56 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: link of a bad team. However, I was saying last 57 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: year that I thought they were going to get in 58 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: a spot demons when they had to throw the football 59 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: and they weren't going to be able to throw the 60 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: football like those That was and so that and I 61 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: would have last year had Jalen Hurts pretty firmly outside 62 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: of my quarterback top ten, I absolutely would have. I 63 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: don't think it is at all contradictory to then say. 64 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: But then I watched the NFC Championship game and the 65 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, and his performance in those two games by 66 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: itself made me totally reevaluate, and his consistent ability to 67 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: play his best in the biggest sponse, which is the 68 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: most valuable trait a quarterback can have made me reevaluate. 69 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: And so I think people far too often get tied 70 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: and married to their prior opinions. Coward's the best at 71 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: not doing this, and you know, shamelessly is the wrong word, 72 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: but almost like he he will have a adamant, strong, 73 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: vociferous opinion and a week later be like. 74 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 4: Change my mind, like and right, and that's what he says. 75 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 4: He's like, I got new information and so and I 76 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 4: think that. So again, we've got to be careful about 77 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 4: what we've said and whether so if I said and 78 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 4: I did not, but if someone has said, I'm telling 79 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 4: you this player will never be a top five quarterback, 80 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 4: then it is a little tougher. You can still come 81 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 4: back and be like I was wrong, you know, but 82 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 4: it's it's a little tougher. 83 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: I don't think people at this point are fairly evaluating 84 00:05:54,520 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts based on he's a bit to play his 85 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: best in the biggest spots. And I think that that 86 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: should whatever credit that people want to take away from him, 87 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: I think fairly because he is not a guy that, 88 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: over the course of a season, if you built the 89 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: offense around Jalen Hurts passing game, I don't think you'd 90 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 1: have an elite offense. And I do think that's fair 91 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: to ding him. 92 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 5: For I don't think that the negative credit he gets 93 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 5: for that, what I believe is a fact should outweigh 94 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 5: the positive credit for the fact that we've seen him 95 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 5: now on two deep playoff runs and you can't point 96 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:59,239 Speaker 5: to a single game on those two deep playoff runs 97 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 5: where you're like, Hurts wasn't good enough for them to win. 98 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: Hurts didn't do enough, like you just can't. And he 99 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: had to go two years ago toe to toe with 100 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: Patrick in a Super Bowl. He had the one fumble, 101 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: which is why I thought Patrick outplayed him, but still 102 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,559 Speaker 1: he played an A minus level game. The offense scored 103 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: thirty five points, he accounted for four touchdowns, and then 104 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: last year he had to go toe to toe with 105 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: Jade and Daniels in a playoff game when Daniels was 106 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,679 Speaker 1: the hottest quarterback in the league. Phillies offense scores fifty 107 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: five points, and then in the Super Bowl he has 108 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: the fourth and five pass down the sideline. He wait, 109 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: I think it was the NFC Championship game he had 110 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: the fourth and five pass down the sideline. The Super 111 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: Bowl was the kill shots start of the second half. 112 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: He was great. And so go ahead, Pal. 113 00:07:59,000 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 3: So where would you have him? 114 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 2: You because you said you had the outside of the 115 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 2: top ten last year. 116 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 3: With the information that you have, now, where would you 117 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 3: have them? 118 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: So I have a I've developed a new opinion on 119 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:19,239 Speaker 1: how we have to rank the quarterbacks. I don't think 120 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: that it is fair anymore to say it's a big 121 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: four and then we can debate after that that because 122 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: so here's to me where I'm at going into and 123 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: it can obviously change when a new season comes, like 124 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 1: the new season has to matter. I believe the top 125 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: three has to be in this order. Patrick Josh Lamar. 126 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: I think that is the only because what is the 127 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: knock on Lamar? And at this point there's only one left. 128 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: He does not play his best in the postseason, and 129 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,679 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna harp on that. I think that is 130 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: you know, two years ago, folks were mad at me. 131 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: I was making too big of a deal of it 132 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: last year, folks were annoyed with me. I was making 133 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: too big of a deal with it going into this year, folks, 134 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: But grudgingly without saying it's like, okay, yeah, Nick klocked 135 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: this the whole time that it. 136 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 2: Was, and he showed so different. I was just about 137 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 2: to say Lamar didn't play badly. Though Lamar played pretty well. 138 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 2: He might have had a rough first half, but oh yeah, 139 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 2: I mean. 140 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: The rough first half the cost of the game. But 141 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: it was still I mean, you're right, it wasn't. It 142 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: wasn't as bad as some of the other But again, 143 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: this is what I'm what I'm about to say here 144 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: is actually a defensive Lamar. The point I'm making is this, Demonse, 145 00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: I do not think it is fair to penalize Lamar 146 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: so much for bad playoff performances that he drops beneath 147 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: the player who has not been in the playoffs the 148 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: last two years, in Joe Burrow, Like, for all we know, 149 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: Joe Cool had his Emperor has no clothes moment with 150 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: the playoff loss to Patrick Mahomes, and from now on 151 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, Burrow is just gonna be a shaking 152 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: shell of himselself. But we haven't seen it because he 153 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,839 Speaker 1: hasn't been in the playoffs since then. Now, to be clear, 154 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 1: I think the odds of that are almost zero percent 155 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: that Burrow all of a sudden is gonna freak out 156 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. My point is you can't say Lamar 157 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: playing poorly in the playoffs is worse than a guy 158 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: not even getting to the playoffs. You just can't. And 159 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: one of the other reasons that two years ago I 160 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: had Burrow ahead of firmly was Lamar's injury risk. Lamar 161 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: the last two years, aside from his annual bout with 162 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: the flu, Lamar has been incredibly durable and Joe's miss 163 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 1: time and been banged up. So I think it has 164 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 1: to and the I don't think I need to defend 165 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: Mahomes being number one. But the argument against him is 166 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 1: he hasn't had the last two years gaudy regular season numbers. 167 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: The problem is anyone you want to put up against him, 168 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 1: he then has played in the playoffs and thoroughly outplayed 169 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: and beatn them. So it's not just his team has won. 170 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: He has played better than Josh in both the playoff 171 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: games the last two years. He has played better than Lamar. 172 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: He has so it's just not it's Mahomes has to 173 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: be won. I think Josh right, now, do you demand 174 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 1: you're the Lamar guy. Do you think it's fair to 175 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: have Josh two? 176 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, you do. I think it's fair like that, think 177 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 3: it's I think it's pretty close. But yeah, and then 178 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 3: Lamar after. 179 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: Its and then Lamar three, right, and last you know, 180 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: Josh one MVP. Lamar could have Josh. You know the 181 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: So I that's where. So here's my point and the 182 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: reason I said all of that. I think it is fair. 183 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: If somebody says Joe Burrow's four, by the way, I 184 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: probably agree with him for the record. But if somebody 185 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: says Demanse Jalen Hurts is four, and what you're losing 186 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: in the prolific stats Joe Burrow gives you, you're adding 187 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: in toughness, availability, the push push, and huge playoff moments. 188 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 1: And Joe's biggest accomplishment ever is being one and one 189 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: against Patrick in AFC Championship games, and Jalen's one and 190 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: one against Patrick in Super Bowls. So the point I'm 191 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: trying to make is when you say it's a big four, 192 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: you're saying you can't argue anyone outside of that top 193 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: four is better than anyone in it. And I don't 194 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: think you can make a credible argument, even with all 195 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: the flowers I've given to Jalen Hurts right now, that 196 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: Jalen's better than Lamar, Josh or Patrick. I do think 197 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 1: you can make an argument over Joe, and I love Joe, 198 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 1: but he's he starts here slowly. He does have now 199 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: Jalen has this as well, obviously, embarrassment of riches on 200 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: the outside catching the ball. And I do think that 201 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: there is a he probably has. The fact that Josh, 202 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 1: Patrick and Lamar are three of the most dynamic and 203 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: successful rushing threats the position has ever seen has to count. 204 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: And people might say Nick Patrick's not in that class, 205 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: not in the regular season, but if you look at 206 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: quarterback career yards per carry, playoff yard rushing yards, playoff 207 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns, if you remove Neil Downs, Patrick's right there, 208 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: and he's had iconic you know, so that he's kind 209 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: of more tactical with choosing yeah, say it again. 210 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 3: He's more tactical with when he chooses yes well, And. 211 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: I just don't he's not as fast as Lamar and 212 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: he's not as bruising and big as Josh, so he 213 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: has to be more. So if you're here, is what 214 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: my ranking would look like. If I were doing it, 215 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: I would go one Patrick, two, Josh three, Lamar four, 216 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: Joe five, Stafford six, Jalen Hurts seven with an asterisk 217 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: of it's probably too early, but I give it to him, 218 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels eight, Baker And then it gets trickier. 219 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 3: Did you say golf already? Did you say golf? 220 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: You didn't say golf, I didn't say golf, and I 221 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: didn't say Herbert all right, Dog days summer, which means 222 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: it's time for the boys this summer to kick it 223 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: into gear.

We have to come up 270 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: with a snappy name for it. But if people don't 271 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 1: know Demons, last year, I think hit like seven in 272 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: a row. He's turned into a bit of a teaser expert. 273 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 1: If we could have somewhere, I don't care if it's buried. 274 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,479 Speaker 1: I don't care if you have to click seventeen different 275 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 1: links to get into it. Somewhere on there Demands's NFL 276 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 1: Teaser of the Week. It would really be a special 277 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: moment for this podcast. So all that that's coming, go ahead. 278 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 2: I mean, that'd be like my one of my greatest 279 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 2: achievements outside hidden seventy threes in a row one time done. 280 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we did that to a sidebar. 281 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 3: We can get to that in a minute. 282 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: But uh, it would be great, And it would also 283 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: be awesome for some of Demonse's high school and college 284 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: buddies who are regular DraftKings users for them to be 285 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: scrolling and to see the Demands teaser. It would really 286 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: it would. It would be awesome. And so we're pulling 287 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: over the In the meantime, there is one bet that 288 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 1: I think the odds are going to shift because I 289 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 1: think this team is going to become a popular sleeper pick. 290 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 1: And I have no loyalty if you will when it 291 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 1: comes to gambling, now, I obviously will. There are certain 292 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: things I won't do, like I won't bet against the 293 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: Chiefs but it doesn't mean I bet on the Chiefs 294 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 1: every time. A couple years ago, I told you guys 295 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: one of my favorite preseason win totals was the Broncos 296 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 1: over five and a half wins. I can't stand the Broncos, 297 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: and by the way, I think they're one of the 298 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 1: most overrated teams in the league this year. It actually 299 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,919 Speaker 1: kind of plays into why I like this bet, but 300 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: I thought that they were great value over five and 301 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: a half wins. They ended up winning I think eight games, 302 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: the sixth longest odds of any team to make the playoffs, 303 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 1: far worse odds than the Panthers, better odds than only 304 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: the Titans, the Jets, the Giants, the Saints, and the 305 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: Browns are a team that I believe is going to 306 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: make the play playoffs, and I believe these odds are 307 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: going to it. Between now and the start of the year, 308 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 1: drop from plus three point thirty to like plus two ninety. 309 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:16,360 Speaker 1: And that is the Las Vegas Raiders. The Las Vegas 310 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 1: Raiders going from a head coach in Antonio Pierce that 311 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: was just out of his depth to Pete Carroll going 312 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: from maybe the worst quarterback situation in the league to 313 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: Gino Smith with Brock Bowers in year two and Ashton 314 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: genty in year one and Carol coaching up that secondary 315 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: and a last place schedule that includes games against. This 316 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: is not just all strength of schedule games, but on 317 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:52,880 Speaker 1: the Raiders schedule are the Patriots, the Titans, the Browns, 318 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: the Giants. The I skipped over a couple, Oh well, 319 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: ones that I won't think are easy, but you guys 320 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: might the Bears, the Jags, the Texans late in the year, 321 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: a team that I worry about a bit, four games 322 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: against maybe these slightly overrated Chargers and the considerably overrated Broncos. 323 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 1: Did I mention the Colts game in there? They have 324 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: on their entire schedule aside from the Chiefs game. Oh, 325 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: they play the Cowboys. Like here's the Raiders' schedule Patriots, Chargers, Commanders, Bears, Colts, Titans, Chiefs, Jags, Broncos, Cowboys, Browns, Chargers, Broncos, Eagles, Texans, Giants, Chiefs. 326 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: They have three monster games Chiefs and Eagles, five simple 327 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 1: games in my opinion, and then nine we'll see games 328 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: that team absolutely can get to nine or ten wins 329 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 1: and sneak into the playoffs. 330 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 2: And if the Chiefs are in a good state of 331 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,120 Speaker 2: that year at that time of the year, it could 332 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 2: be a free game for them. 333 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:18,479 Speaker 1: Well that's the other thing. If you are in the 334 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: AFC West, you always hope that one of your two 335 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 1: Chiefs games is that week seventeen Chiefs game because about 336 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,959 Speaker 1: half the time the Chiefs are resting people that week. 337 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: Half the time they got to go for it, like 338 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: it could be bad that where oh man, the Chiefs 339 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: need this game for you know, playoff positioning. But about 340 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: half the time they have everything locked. 341 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 3: The Chiefs pretty well anyways too, I feel like. 342 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: Sometimes yeah, yeah, And they beat them on Christmas two 343 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: years ago. So the Raiders plus three point thirty to 344 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: make the playoffs. That is my early first NFL season long. 345 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 3: Bet Lions are confident. 346 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 2: This is the year that they get over the hump, 347 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 2: with David Montgomery calling it their year of reckoning. 348 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 3: How do you see this season going for Detroit? 349 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: I'd be a little nervous, Demons. So here's so listen. 350 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: I don't think I think they have too much talent 351 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: to be bad. But here are the to me ominous signs, 352 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: so to speak. First one is one that always matters. 353 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 1: Lost both coordinators like that is one that during a 354 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: season when a team is struggling, we're like, oh, change coordinators, 355 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 1: but we don't do a good enough job in the 356 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 1: off season of you know what I mean reminding folks 357 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: lost Aaron Glenn, lost Ben Johnson, so that to me 358 00:24:56,040 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: is first concern. Second concern, their center retired. They lost 359 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: their best guarden free agency, so it looks like they're 360 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 1: gonna slide their worst offensive lineman who was their right 361 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: guard last year, whatever guard Zeitler wasn't over to center, 362 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: and then be starting a second year, sixth round pick 363 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: and probably a rookie second round pick at their two 364 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: guard spots. So they where offensive line has been maybe 365 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: their single biggest position of strength as of you know 366 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: in this Jared Goff Dan Campbell era, now that interior 367 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: of the offensive line might be the biggest weakness of 368 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:51,880 Speaker 1: the team, and that can nothing makes Jared Goff go 369 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: from man. Jared Goff has been really good to pumpkin mode, 370 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: like up the middle pressure because he just doesn't have 371 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,199 Speaker 1: the athleticism to escape or be creative. If it's on 372 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 1: time and it's what it's supposed to see, he's really good. 373 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 1: But if you can get pressure on him up the middle, 374 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: it can be really deadly for him. And so that's 375 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: a concern. The tougher division this year, to me is 376 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 1: I shouldn't say tougher because last year it was really good. 377 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: Vikings were excellent, Packers were good. But again, another tough division. 378 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: That's concerning. And here's the other piece, demanse for a 379 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,640 Speaker 1: team last year that was fifteen and two, here's they're 380 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:43,880 Speaker 1: opening seven games, which is before thereby at the Packers 381 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: home for the Bears, Ben Johnson at the Ravens home 382 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 1: for the Browns, layup at Sincy at the Chiefs, home 383 00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 1: for the bucks Man. And by the way, it's just 384 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,919 Speaker 1: a schedule that you never can take a breath like. 385 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: There's their first seven, then a bye week, then home 386 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 1: for Tampa, home for the Vikings, at the Commanders, at 387 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: the Eagles, home for the Giants, Okay, home for the Packers, 388 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: home for the Cowboys at the Rams, home for the Steelers, Okay, 389 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: at the Vikings, at the Bears. And so could I 390 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: see the Lions going from fifteen to two and the 391 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: one seed to ten and seven in a wild card? Absolutely? 392 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 1: And so I think they're good. I think they're talented, 393 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 1: Gibbs is a star. Having Hutchinson back will be great, 394 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: but I don't look. I think the Lions losing both coordinators, 395 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: the loss of the offensive linemen that they've had. I 396 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: still feel like I'm not as big on Jamison Williams 397 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: as maybe others are. I wonder how that horrific playoff 398 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: game has sat with golf all off season. I wonder 399 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:15,400 Speaker 1: how back to back years of just gut punch postseason losses, 400 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: you know, has sat with them. All of that is 401 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: concerning to me. And in that loss last year was 402 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 1: we had a graphic on the TV show yesterday of 403 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: number one seeds the last decade to lose their first 404 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: home playoff game, and it was the the Cowboys Dax 405 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 1: rookie year, the Ravens Lamar's first year as a full 406 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: time starter, the Titans with Tannehill, and the Packers with 407 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers in that his second to last year there 408 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 1: in the crazy like thirteen to ten game or whatever 409 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: in the snow against San Francisco. So, by the way, 410 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 1: three of those teams the next year missed the playoffs. 411 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: The Ravens made the playoffs and lost in the divisional round. 412 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: Like so you have a seventeen point lead in the 413 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: conference championship game. You blow it. You come back the 414 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: next year, you're even better. You're the one seed, and 415 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback comes to your stadium and waxes you 416 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: and your quarterback plays his worst game in a couple 417 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 1: of years. That's all ominous if you ask me for 418 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: the Lions. Uh do you think that's fair? I know 419 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 1: you think you thought I'm a little too low on 420 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 1: the Lions historically. 421 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 2: Oh well, no, I do think that. I mean you 422 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 2: said they lost their their interior alignment. But just just 423 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 2: Jerick Goff as well, Like I thought, it's like a 424 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 2: I don't want to say ominous, but limitation to win 425 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 2: in the super Bowl, That's what it sounds like they're 426 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 2: talking about. And like you need to see him, you know, 427 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 2: win that playoff game or do just like that was 428 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 2: a rookie that you got that done too by But but. 429 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was and it was I mean Washington 430 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: just they were outlast them that game. Yeah, I mean, 431 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,479 Speaker 1: and that was the Lion. Now, the Lions defense was 432 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: devastated by injury, and we know that. But I also 433 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 1: I am a little worried what version of Aiden Hutchinson, 434 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: we're going to see at least at the beginning of 435 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 1: the year. So I think all that's fair. Hey guys 436 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: talking about my friends at boost Mobile.

I mean obviously 455 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 7: that we weren't good enough there. We've had success in 456 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 7: prior years, with these last few years, we haven't done that. 457 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 7: And in order for our offense to be great, you 458 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 7: have to be able to complete those passes. It opens 459 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 7: up everything else, and so the teams are going to 460 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 7: challenge us that the line of scrimmage. If teams are 461 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 7: going to challenge us fill the ball deep, we have 462 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 7: to show that we can do that. And if we 463 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 7: can do that, it first starts with me and giving 464 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 7: guys chances. But if we can do that, I think 465 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 7: it's going to really open up the offense and make 466 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 7: us a better team in general. 467 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 3: So with the combination of him saying that an Xavier 468 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 3: worthies comments from a little bit ago, if they can't 469 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 3: do it this year, is it time to sound the 470 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 3: alarm is a little bit of a problem because it's 471 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 3: clear that they want to do it. 472 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's fair that if they can't, So 473 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: it's it's very interesting. So let me kind of go 474 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 1: through the timeline of the Mahomes what we on. First things, 475 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: first call light show and the Mahomes eras right. So 476 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 1: obviously twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, twenty twenty one. 477 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 1: It's just laser show, throwing deep, you know all this stuff. 478 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: Twenty twenty one ends with overtime against the Bengals. Mahomes 479 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: throws deep to Tyreek Kill, hits Tyreek in the hands 480 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 1: on third and long, and Tyreek pops it in the air. 481 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: Bengals pick it off. Bengals go to the Super Bowl. 482 00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: Then Tyreek gets traded twenty two two with a Juju 483 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 1: Smith led receiving corps along with obviously Travis Kelce. Patrick, 484 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: Mahomes throws for more yards in a single season than 485 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: any player in the history of the league. Is the 486 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 1: first player to win League MVP and Super Bowl MVP 487 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 1: in the same season since Kurt Warner and the Chiefs 488 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 1: win their second Super Bowl, scoring thirty eight points against 489 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 1: the league's number one defense in the Super Bowl. Okay, 490 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: that year, they were a prolific offense, but it was 491 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: a lot of short stuff. It wasn't so much bombs 492 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: because they adn't have the personnel, but the yardage and 493 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: touchdowns and scoring was crazy, so nobody really paid attention 494 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 1: to it. Twenty twenty three, there is and obviously, I 495 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: don't know if I said this part. They trade Tyreek Hill, 496 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: you know, after twenty twenty one, and so the off 497 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: and changes in that regard. Twenty twenty three, the Chiefs have, 498 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 1: you know, their first bad two months of the Mahomes ear. 499 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: They lose five out of eight. I think it was 500 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: they have to play on the road. The receivers, you know, 501 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:26,760 Speaker 1: set records for drops. And then despite that, Mahomes plays 502 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: a perfect postseason, culminating in and back to back drives 503 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl at the end of regulation and 504 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: then in overtime that are just surgical dink and dunk 505 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 1: short passes up the field resulting in the walk off touchdown. 506 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 1: Right then last year happens, and last year is a 507 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: little bit of everything. Beginning of the year, demanse Mahomes 508 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 1: was just off. If you remember, it was like five 509 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 1: games in a row where he threw a pick, but 510 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:08,120 Speaker 1: they were they weren't unlucky picks. They weren't all like 511 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 1: he was trying to do too much. It was like 512 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 1: where were you throwing it? Like what did you see that? 513 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 7: You know? 514 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: It was it was very un Mahomes like. But they 515 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:23,399 Speaker 1: won all the games anyway, They then they went into 516 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 1: last year saying we're gonna have, you know, a legitimate 517 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 1: receiving corps again. They signed Hollywood Brown, they really liked 518 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: what Rashie Rice was doing. At the end of the year, 519 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 1: they draft Xavier Worthy and then by week four, Hollywood 520 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 1: Brown's been out, hasn't played for him yet, Rashid blows 521 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: out his knee, and Xavier Worthy, God love him. But 522 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: at that time of the year, if you remember, couldn't 523 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 1: figure out where the out of bounds line was on 524 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:54,400 Speaker 1: the field. They when they did go deep Mahomes throw it, 525 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: he would catch it and then he'd have a foot 526 00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:58,880 Speaker 1: out of bounds or not, you know, not get his 527 00:35:58,880 --> 00:35:59,919 Speaker 1: feet in whatever it is. 528 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 3: On. 529 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 1: So you had Mahomes struggling for the first time in 530 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:09,360 Speaker 1: his career of his own doing. You had the most 531 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 1: injured receiving corps in football where they have to bring 532 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 1: Juju back after he gets cut from the Patriots. You 533 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 1: also have a rotation at your left tackle position and 534 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 1: the Chiefs worst tackle play of the Mahomes era. And 535 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,319 Speaker 1: then you also have on top of all of it, 536 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:38,400 Speaker 1: this quest for a three peat and this odd season 537 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 1: where the defense kept as long as the offense didn't 538 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 1: kill him, and even when the offense did kill him, 539 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 1: the defense kept him in every game. And then Mahomes 540 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 1: was Mahomes late, and it seemed like he was just like, 541 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 1: you know what, I don't want to get I can't 542 00:36:55,280 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 1: trust the offensive line, Kelsey's getting older. Yeah, all of 543 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 1: this and I'm just gonna dink and dunk and I'm 544 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 1: not gonna take any all of that. So it was 545 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 1: a perfect storm of a boring offense for a fifteen 546 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,919 Speaker 1: to one team, and that the scene, by the way, 547 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:20,440 Speaker 1: to change immediately come to the playoffs when they put 548 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,799 Speaker 1: up big numbers against Houston and Buffalo and then all 549 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:23,440 Speaker 1: fell apart in. 550 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 3: The Super Bowl. 551 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,760 Speaker 1: So all of those things, to me had to happen. 552 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 1: The pressure of going for the three peat, the rotation 553 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 1: at left tackle, the wide receiver, injuries, Mahomes, and again 554 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:44,279 Speaker 1: Fairs Fair. I would imagine of Mahomes' entire career, the 555 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 1: off season where he was, maybe if we were to 556 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,920 Speaker 1: rank him from most dialed into least, I would imagine 557 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 1: the offseason after the back to back championships. Nobody, you know, 558 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 1: the everybody thought we were drawing dead, couldn't win on 559 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:07,880 Speaker 1: the road, and then I clipped everyone. And by the way, 560 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 1: my best friend is now dating the world's most famous 561 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 1: woman and we're all partying together, you know what I mean. 562 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:19,360 Speaker 1: And maybe there was a little feeling of nothing could 563 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:23,480 Speaker 1: go worse than last year in twenty twenty three for us, 564 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,080 Speaker 1: and we won the Super Bowl anyway, you know, So 565 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 1: all of that to me led to the offense that 566 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 1: we saw. So I would think and I would hope 567 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:49,319 Speaker 1: that none of these things apply this year. So how 568 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:50,880 Speaker 1: dialed in will Mahomes be? 569 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 3: Well? 570 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,680 Speaker 1: How dialed in has he been in the few seasons 571 00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 1: that haven't ended in massive success? Cut his hair twenty 572 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:07,319 Speaker 1: cut his hair, but also twenty eighteen, lost in the playoffs. 573 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:12,280 Speaker 1: The next year, came back one league MVP twenty twenty, 574 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:17,880 Speaker 1: got the craft kicked out of him in the Super Bowl, 575 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,799 Speaker 1: came back and was awesome, and then had you know, 576 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:27,080 Speaker 1: that bad half against Cincinnati and at the end of 577 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,000 Speaker 1: the AFC Championship game, and came back in twenty twenty 578 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 1: two and had one of the greatest seasons any quarterbacks 579 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 1: ever had. So I think Mahomes will be dialed I 580 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:40,799 Speaker 1: think the Chiefs getting Josh Simmons at pick thirty two 581 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 1: as a potential franchise left tackle is as big of 582 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 1: an offseason move as any team made. Xavier Worthy came 583 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,320 Speaker 1: into his own at the end of the year. Hollywood 584 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,840 Speaker 1: Brown is now healthy, they will at some point have 585 00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 1: Rashie back, and it feels like Kelsey should a little 586 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,279 Speaker 1: sprier than last year. All of the and I didn't 587 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 1: even mentioned last year the Chiefs were down to their 588 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,759 Speaker 1: fourth string running back so quickly they had to bring 589 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:17,600 Speaker 1: back Kareem Hunt. So, you know, barring a spate of 590 00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:21,920 Speaker 1: injuries or me being wrong about Simmons, I say all 591 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:27,799 Speaker 1: that to say, yeah, if the offense is mediocre and 592 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:33,400 Speaker 1: boring again, then yeah, I probably where would I sound 593 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:38,360 Speaker 1: the alarm, Probably the coordinator, because I don't think anyone's 594 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 1: gonna think like, oh, Mahome's not good anymore. And so 595 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,319 Speaker 1: but I don't think that's gonna happen. And I think 596 00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,399 Speaker 1: that there was and it was such a weird thing 597 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:53,799 Speaker 1: demands last year because it was it would have been 598 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 1: the offense was not playing great, Mahomes was not playing 599 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,880 Speaker 1: as best, they had all these issues, but they had 600 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 1: the best record in the league every single week of 601 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,680 Speaker 1: the season, so it would have kind of felt weird 602 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,759 Speaker 1: to be like, let's change it up significantly, you know 603 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,040 Speaker 1: what I mean. What they were doing was working and 604 00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:14,799 Speaker 1: they were peaking at the end of the year, and 605 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 1: then it all came crashing down in the suit say 606 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:19,359 Speaker 1: it again. 607 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,839 Speaker 2: That was a big debate, like them playing all those 608 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 2: close games. It was like, well, what's going on? But 609 00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,439 Speaker 2: I mean that because you said that you have put 610 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 2: it on the coordinators if you had to make an 611 00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:33,319 Speaker 2: accountability pie on who was responsible, like if the on 612 00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:34,000 Speaker 2: the deep game. 613 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I mean, you know, to be clear, I'm saying, 614 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:38,960 Speaker 1: if it happens again, I would put it maybe on 615 00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,240 Speaker 1: the coordinator because so last year, to me, the single 616 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:49,479 Speaker 1: biggest calprit was actually the tackle play. So that's because 617 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,719 Speaker 1: Mahomes just didn't get people and say the receivers got hurt, 618 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 1: and that's true, but I've seen Mahomes when he has 619 00:41:55,520 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 1: time throwing bombs to Justin Watson and DeMarcus Robinson. So 620 00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 1: I would say the biggest slice goes to the tackle play, 621 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,239 Speaker 1: which is why they made a big investment in that. 622 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,279 Speaker 1: In their biggest offseason signing was Jalen Moore and they 623 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,720 Speaker 1: drafted Josh Simmons in the first round. The second biggest 624 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,960 Speaker 1: reason would be the Rashi rice injury and the other 625 00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:24,719 Speaker 1: receiver injuries. The third biggest to me would be Mahomes 626 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,520 Speaker 1: not being as sharp as he wanted at the beginning 627 00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:29,360 Speaker 1: of the year, And the fourth biggest would be just 628 00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,400 Speaker 1: kind of the building pressure of the three people
