1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: The volume What is going On? Everybody? A late night

2
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: here three and out podcast with me John Middlecoff, obviously

3
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: brought to you by my friends at Zone Pouches Love

4
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: These guys currently have one in actually, and it's been

5
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: a long day. It's been a long couple days. Watched

6
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 1: a lot of football over the last forty eight hours.

7
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: Some might say it's an unhealthy amount, but I'd say,

8
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: I do this for a living, So that's what I do.

9
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: Sit on the couch and I consume, and that's what

10
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: I literally just did. Watching a dynasty and a run

11
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: kind of come to an end. Obviously, the Chiefs their

12
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: playoff hopes, I would say, officially are over and the

13
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: dynasty is going to come to an end, and we'll

14
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: talk about that. Obviously, the Texans red hot, we had

15
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: the Bears, Packers, we had Steelers Ravens, we had Cincinnati

16
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: and Joe Burrow with the craziest two plays you'll ever

17
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: see when he was in the midst of one of

18
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: the great games I've ever seen a guy play, to

19
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: throw a couple picks change everything and Josh Allen go superhuman.

20
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: We had a lot of other stuff going on. We

21
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: got stories about Deshaun Watson. You got Schador throwing touchdowns,

22
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,559
Speaker 1: you got Daniel Jones tearing Achilles, you got Notre Dame

23
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 1: quitting on football. So we'll dive into it all. Appreciate

Speaker 1: So we got a lot of football coming up. We

34
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: got a big Monday night game. Nick Sirianni's getting more involved,

35
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: taking the Boys into Los Angeles to take on Jim Harbaugh.

36
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: That should be fun. Jim Harbogacy is old buddy vic Fangio,

37
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: who they spent a lot of time together at Stanford

38
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: and forty nine ers. So I'm excited for that money.

39
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: And I came football. The football matters. Now. December is

40
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: when you remember I don't even know if that's a statement,

41
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,119
Speaker 1: but I just made it up. Uh. But let's dive

42
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: into the Chiefs. You know when the Last Dance happened.

43
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: I think part of the power of that documentary One, uh,

44
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: we didn't have much to do at the time. But two,

45
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: anytime that you see like this this Lway documentary that's

46
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: coming out on Netflix, you see a legendary team, a

47
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: legendary individual go out on top. It's pretty unreal. But

48
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: that's usually not the way it goes. I wasn't alive,

49
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: but my dad once told me that Willie Mays ed

50
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: his career on the New York Mets. Right. No One

51
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: when they speak about Tom Bray talk about that last

52
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: year where they went eight to nine, played the Cowboys

53
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: on a Monday night wild card game and lost like

54
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: seventy five to nothing. We talked about Tom Brady winning

55
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl in his first year for Tampa, or

56
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: all the great games he had for the New England Patriots. Well,

57
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: the Kansay Chiefs have officially run out of gas. This

58
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 1: team's not very good, right and like it's over. They're

59
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: six and seven. They have the same record. Let me

60
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: repeat as the Miami Dolphins. I'm gonna say it again,

61
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. That is insane. In fairness to the

62
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins, they're kind of hot. They actually played pretty well.

63
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: I'd be lying if I said I watched any of

64
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: that game. Didn't even realize it was going on till halftime.

65
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: Looked up the Miami Dolphins won by three scores and two.

66
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: It didn't even throw for one hundred and thirty yards.

67
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: So listen, no disrespect to the Miami Dolphins. Give him

68
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: a lot of respect for battling after an awful start.

69
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: But this Chiefs team is very good defensively. They battled

70
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: their ass off tonight. But the reality is of this

71
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: core group of players, like once upon a time, you

72
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: know Brady, they won those super Bowls and then they

73
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: went ten years between super Bowls. But when you think

74
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: about the Brady dynasty, we talk about the two different iterations,

75
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: the one with Rabel, the one with Bruski, the one

76
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: with the Troy Brown, that group early and then there's

77
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: the late one with Devin mccordy, with Dante High Tower,

78
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: with Edelman, with Gronkowski. We don't really talk that often

79
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: about like the greatness. I mean, we discussed the team

80
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: the O seven Pats, but like Welker Randy Moss, those

81
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: guys didn't win anything. Well, I was in the NFL

82
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: when Randy Moss was on the Patriots and then he

83
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: got traded to the Titans. Wes Welker basically got Wally

84
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: pipped and replaced by Julian Edelman. That happened, and then

85
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: they transitioned to the next group. Well, Collinsworth mentioned it tonight.

86
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: You know, listen, Travis Kelcey has had two moments that

87
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: are gonna be hard to forget. He had the moment

88
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: against the Jags that he turns around, comes late, ball picked,

89
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: the guy goes ninety nine yards for a touchdown. He

90
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: has the play tonight where that's what happens when you're old,

91
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: Like you're not thirty anymore, in your prime, your margin

92
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: ferrera is much smaller, You're not quite as quick. You

93
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: don't make the plays. He makes that play one hundred

94
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: percent of the time four years ago, one hundred percent

95
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: of the time. Both those two plays are catches. One's

96
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: a touchdown against the Jags and the others a catch

97
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: against the Texans and set their interceptions to go the

98
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: other way. Well, as collins Worth mentioned, his contract's over

99
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: after this year. His career with the Kansasity Chiefs is over.

100
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: Like he's not gonna be on the Kansas Chi's Chiefs

101
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: next year. The other guy, Chris Jones, who is a

102
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: little bit of a roller coaster. When you watch him

103
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: on the right night like tonight, he's incredible. If you

104
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: didn't watch the Chiefs all season and you just turn

105
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: on the game to night, you would go, that's gotta

106
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: be the best player in the NFL. But he doesn't

107
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: do that all the time. And I looked at his

108
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: contract today. He got extended a couple of years ago.

109
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: Twenty four was guaranteed, twenty five was guaranteed. Well in

110
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. Partially it's guaranteed because it kicked in

111
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: at the beginning of this league year. I think it's

112
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: like nineteen million dollars. But his cap hit is enormous.

113
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: They're obviously not gonna cut him because the cap, the

114
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: dead cap is even bigger. Well, what did they do

115
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: last offseason? They traded Joe Toney to the Chicago Bears,

116
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: who Andy Reid after it happened, said, he's one of

117
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: my favorite players I've ever coached. But it's part of

118
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: the business. It's part of building a football team in

119
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: a structure of a salary cap. Do you think I

120
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: wanted to get rid of this player? Of course not.

121
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: I did not have a choice. Well, they're not because

122
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: they weren't going to extend him. They're not going to

123
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: give Chris Jones a fourth contract. So to me, Chris Jones,

124
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: he's not going to be cut. He's definitely not retiring.

125
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: He's going to be rated this offseason. He's not gonna

126
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: be on the I'd be stunned if he's on the

127
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: Chiefs next year. And part of transitioning and extending this

128
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: run is figuring out how to put the piece of

129
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: the puzzle with new players over the next couple of years.

130
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: And that's what they have to do because this group

131
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: as we've known it, you know, this core group of

132
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: guys that we've seen win all these super Bowls and

133
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: playing some of these biggest games, have now kind of

134
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: flopped this season at six and seven. And listen, you

135
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: can go, well, Andy Reid went for it this year.

136
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: Andy Reid went for it on fourth down on that

137
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: it was like fourth and one and a half. Because

138
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: did he realized this team is not going anywhere, Like

139
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: what am I? I won all the I'm not Ryan Day,

140
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm not kicking a field goal trying to tie it

141
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: when I'm the defending champ and I've fucking done everything

142
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: I've needed to do in this game. Doesn't he like

143
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: what am I talking about? I'm going for it? I

144
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,559
Speaker 1: saw people like, how's he doing that? Throwing away the season?

145
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: Throw away the season? The season was thrown away weeks ago.

146
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: And the other simple reality is I love this guy.

147
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: I have nothing but respect for him. Knowing people in

148
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: that organization from coach Ree down, the way they have

149
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: talked about Patrick, the way he operates. Like as you

150
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: get older and you find out about people that you

151
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe that work in your industry or work

152
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: around you, or even just like live in your town,

153
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: and someone's like, yeah, he's just a great guy. Man.

154
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: He's just a really really high level dude. And his

155
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: work ethic, how hard he trains, how seriously he takes

156
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: his craft. Like the older I get, I respect that

157
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: much more than like, did you see his highlight play?

158
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: Like I saw this clip of DK Metcalf. They put

159
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: him at gunner on punt like, say what you want

160
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: about DK. He's definitely been underwhelming for the Pittsburgh Steelers,

161
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: but I respect the shit out of that, so I

162
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: can't have any more respect for Patrick Mahomes. But he

163
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: hasn't really played that great this year. And there are

164
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: a lot of players if they would have just played

165
00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: like he played, would get criticized like hardcore, like it

166
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: would be pretty ugly like it, it would kind of

167
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: be relentless. And he makes some awesome plays, especially with

168
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: the Lakes, and he's obviously a great competitor keeping plays alive,

169
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: but like his game's kind of up and down. They

170
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: they need him to play better if they're gonna flip

171
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: this thing around moving forward, because their team is gonna

172
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: look dramatically different. And at this point in time now

173
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: they showed the schedule towards the end of the game,

174
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna be favored in most of these games and

175
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: they could still win several of them. But in a

176
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: weird way. Listen, this is not the NBA. They're not

177
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: gonna tank. They're better off losing out than they are

178
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: winning out because for them to turn this thing around,

179
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: having a better draft pick, and I don't just mean

180
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: in the first round, I mean in every round is

181
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: the easiest way for next year them to get better players.

182
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: It is difficult. You can do two things to screw

183
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: up a draft. When you really good, you can make

184
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: a bold trade. We have seen teams do that. Forty

185
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: nine ers did it. You lose a bunch of first

186
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: round picks. Hell, the Texans did it when they got

187
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: Will Anderson, And you just feel at times, like throughout

188
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, some of their depth is missing.

189
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: That that's what happens when you're missing picks, right that

190
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns did it when they traded for Deshaun Watson.

191
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: Like you look back, You're like, we're missing two or

192
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: three first rounders because we made an acquisition, and that

193
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: acquisition doesn't go right, it can be a big problem.

194
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: Or just when you drafted the end of the round,

195
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: it's difficult, right. Listen, when the trade happened on Draft

196
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,599
Speaker 1: night and the Chiefs traded into the first round for

197
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: Xavier Worthy and the Bills traded out for Keon Coleman,

198
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: we all had a million takes. I'm as guilty as anybody,

199
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 1: But going a couple of years later, like Xavier Worthy's fine,

200
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: Keon Coleman got benched in the middle of the year.

201
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: Made a play today, like these guys are fine. It's

202
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: harder to hit on wide receiver sometimes at the end

203
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: of the first that it is. At pick twelve, pick thirteen,

204
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: you were much more likely to get a better player.

205
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: So obviously this year for the Chiefs, given their standard,

206
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: given what we think of them, if you would have

207
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: told anybody at this point in time they'd be six

208
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 1: and seven of the same records as the Miami Dolphins,

209
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: no one would have believed you. But it happened, and

210
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: you watch them and it kind of feels right. And

211
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: one thing, even over the last couple of years, I

212
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: have so many friends there that I enjoy watching the

213
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: team even when it's ugly. But here from a lot

214
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: of people, they can be a difficult watch at times.

215
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: Tonight they weren't the most enjoyable watch though, Like in

216
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: this modern day era of everyone's scoring all these points,

217
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: everyone's spreading it out. You know, I'm a sucker for

218
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: a thirteen to ten game in the third quarter. I

219
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: like a game where at any given moment people can

220
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: get injured because everyone is getting tackled so hard. Like

221
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: I still really respect games like that. I saw people

222
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: tweeting how the Indiana Ohio State game was just like

223
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: wasn't that great? Like, I don't know about you, but

224
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 1: I thoroughly and I don't need a game to be

225
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo Cincinnati to really entertain me. Though really enjoy that

226
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: game as well. So I just think the Chiefs their

227
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: offensive magic over the last couple of years is clearly gone.

228
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: Part of that no one, you know, people hesitate to

229
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: say it because his resume speaks for herself, but some

230
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: of that lies on Patrick not playing as well. And listen,

231
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: they got some older veteran players that aren't as reliable

232
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: as they once were. Now Chris Jones was all over

233
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: the place tonight. He was making CJ run for his life.

234
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: But they're just out of juice. You know, if you

235
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: get in your car and you just start driving, eventually

236
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna run out of gas. And when you do,

237
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: you got to refill it. And that's what it feels

238
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: like the Chiefs at the point in time it is

239
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: in this operation like they need to refill. And the

240
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: difference is sometimes you get out the gas station, you

241
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: look around your car and you got like gatorade, bottles,

242
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: you got some some flower seeds, you got shit in

243
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: the back seat, Like I just to clean out this car,

244
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: and you just take a bunch of stuff. I try

245
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: to go to Costco because it got some cheaper gas,

246
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: throw away a bunch of stuff. It's like a cleansing

247
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: of my car every time I go to the gas station.

248
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: And that's why I think the Chiefs need to do

249
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: this offseason and we'll see how they end up. I mean,

250
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: if I was a betting man right now, they've probably

251
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: end up, I would guess like nine to eight. But

252
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: if you tell me that they win one of their

253
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: last three games, I do think they will be better off. Now,

254
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: that's not the way Coach Reid's gonna operate, That's not

255
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: the way these guys are going to play. But I

256
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: don't think it's crazy the last couple of games, if

257
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: you almost just give Patrick, just let Gardner Minshew play

258
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: some games. You know, it's tough, especially if it's becomes

259
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: pretty clear that Travis is gonna retire, which I think

260
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: we all kind of envision him doing. You know, he's

261
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: not gonna want to just be out there with Gardner Minshew, right,

262
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: so you kind of want to give him a little

263
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: send off. But I think we've seen we're basically at

264
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: the end of the road, as my guys and boys,

265
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: the men would say, when it comes to these three guys,

266
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: and they've had an incredible run. Most people thought when

267
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: they traded Tyreek Hill they were, you know, on drugs.

268
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: Turns out as one of the smartest moves in the

269
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: history of the league. They rattled off back to back

270
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowls. They were able to kind of replenish, and

271
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: that's what it feels like they need to do right now, replenish.

272
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: They're just they're not as potent. I mean, you watch

273
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: them against the Texans. The Texans have every bit the

274
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: talent they have, if not more, you would argue on

275
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: defense they have more talent. They're just a deeper unit

276
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: and offensively, you know, with some of their injuries, Like,

277
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: what the hell's difference, What the hell's the difference between

278
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: Woody Marx and Kareem Hunt and Isaiah Pacheco. I'd probably

279
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: rather have over the next couple of years. Wood He

280
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: Marx more versatile player. Right, you would take Nico Collins,

281
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: you know, probably over any Chiefs wide receiver I mean

282
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: or Sheet Rice pretty good. He didn't have a good

283
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: game tonight. You know, I think Xavier Worthy's okay. You'd

284
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: like a little more, but I think at this point

285
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: in time, he kind of is what he is. He's

286
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: a fast guy that you know, kind of catches the

287
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: ball goes down. He's not gonna run around you, run

288
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: over you, jump over you like he's just he can

289
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: make some explosive plays and it kind of ends there.

290
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: So I think they they're gonna need a new tight end.

291
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: You know, obviously they have a stud left tackle who

292
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: broke his who broke his wrists, and he's gonna be

293
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: a big part of the future. Carl Loftis you hope

294
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: Trent McDuffie's okay, You know, he'll be a part of

295
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: the future. But uh, they're gonna need some reinforcements because

296
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: they're just at a gas and they're at the gas station.

297
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,119
Speaker 1: It's time to fill up. And that's why this offseason

298
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: is gonna be huge. And like you saw last year,

299
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: I think you will continue to see and if you

300
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: go back in the history you know of Andy, like

301
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: they'll they'll make some big moves like he's not afraid

302
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: to kind of mix things up and This is the

303
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: tight franchise where you're just looking at right now, Like

304
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: sometimes you go into a home and you go, God,

305
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: this thing needs a facelift, right, this thing needs a

306
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: little work. And that's what anyone that's just watched the Chiefs,

307
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: we all have because they're on you know, primetime games.

308
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: It feels like eighty percent of the year. It's like

309
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: they just need It's like they need a remodel, they

310
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: need to touch up, and they need their best player

311
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: to play better. You know. I mean, you're watching Cincinnati Buffalo.

312
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: I'll probably go into that game later, but you watch

313
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: those two quarterbacks like they are just better players than

314
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes right now, They like Joe Burrow and Josh Allen,

315
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: are just better players in twenty twenty five. I'm not

316
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: talking about the history of their careers. I'm not talking

317
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: about twenty twenty three. I'm not talking about twenty twenty.

318
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: I'm talking about right now. Those two guys are better

319
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: than him. They just are. That doesn't mean in a

320
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: one off if they were in the NAFC Championship game,

321
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: they would beat them. But today, and I think Chiefs

322
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: fans would admit this if they watch that game, as well.

323
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: Those two guys are better players right now, and I

324
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: just think there's gonna be They're gonna get a much

325
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: longer off season. Obviously, you're gonna have to look in

326
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: the mirror a little bit, what can I do to

327
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: be better? But it just it is what it is.

328
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 1: And they're six and seven. Just a devastating season for

329
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: a team that you know has the highest of hopes

330
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,959
Speaker 1: in the league because there's you could say the Eagles

331
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: this year. There just aren't that many teams even in college,

332
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: like there aren't many teams like Super Bowl or Bus

333
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: National Championships or bust. Like even Indiana. They're the one seed.

334
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: It is not National Championship or bust. They just beat

335
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 1: Ohio State to win the Big Ten. If they were

336
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: to lose in the first round, it would suck, you know,

337
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 1: their first round, which would be the second round. They

338
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: still beat Ohio State, which is the biggest win in

339
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: the history of the program by a country mile. So

340
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: if they got to the final four, they beat Ohio State,

341
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: the fucking whole program, all the fans would do court

342
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: wheels down the street. The Chiefs. It's like, that's why

343
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 1: when everyone's like, how's Andy going forward on fourth down

344
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: because he's not your normal coach. He's been in the

345
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowl five of the last six years. Like he's

346
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: just like, I'm just gonna lead out on my best

347
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: player right now. It's like we want to play defense,

348
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: then punt back and get the ball. He's not thinking

349
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: like that. He's just trying to score right now, get

350
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: some momentum, get something going. He's not waiting to like,

351
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: let's punt the ball back and then hopefully get a stop.

352
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 1: And then it's like, no, he's not Demiko rants. Demiko's

353
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: trying to get to the playoffs. Win a game. Demiko

354
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: gets to the playoffs and wins a playoff game. That

355
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 1: is a successful season for the Houston Texans. No one

356
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: would deny that, especially would they start zero to three.

357
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: If you bake into the playoffs, even if you don't

358
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: win the division, you're a wildcard. You win a playoff game,

359
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: which would mean you're on the road, you get to

360
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: the second round after that, that's incredible. It's a notch

361
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: on his belt. Chiefs don't get any like extra credit

362
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: for just like, hey, we're just right into the wildcard

363
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: mix till the last week and we missed it. It's

364
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: not the way they think, right, Jeff Bezos, Steve Jobs,

365
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: some of these guys, they don't think about money like

366
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 1: you and I think. Hell, they don't think about money

367
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 1: like other rich people think. So they're different levels to

368
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: the way you look at things. He's not looking at

369
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 1: it like an individual game. He's looking at it like

370
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: that moment you gotta go. I'm sure he's gonna get

371
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: crushed for it, but I was just like I would

372
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 1: have done the same thing. He's probably tired of watching

373
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 1: this team. You can just tell, like it's like I'm

374
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: just I want this to end, that this is not

375
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: We're just off and now we know, like they're not

376
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: going to the playoffs. Just check the AFC. They really,

377
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: I mean mathelematically not eliminated. They got no shot. I

378
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: mean at seven, the Texans are eight and five. So

379
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: with the Chargers, if the Chargers were to win tomorrow,

380
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: it basically becomes done because the Texans then and the

381
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: Jags would both be in. The Bills are obviously going in,

382
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: the Patriots are going in, the Broncos are going in.

383
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: You know, someone has to win between the Steelers and

384
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: the Ravens and the Colts are just in a free fall.

385
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: So I mean the Chiefs now are tied with the

386
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: Ravens at six and six, the Dolphins are at six

387
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: and seven, and the Dolphins at six and seven, and

388
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: that feels about right. None of them aarn that could

389
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: you know? Now? The difference is Chiefs Will won a

390
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: lot before, they got a lot of hardware in their closet,

391
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: and even the years they didn't win it, they were

392
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: still in the Super Bowl, So it's like, yeah, times

393
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: has been pretty good for them, but this year not.

421
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: like the Texans, I'll say this big picture about them,

422
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: and I'm someone that Seattle the Texans win their divisions.

423
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: Your boy could hit some huge parlays. A couple of

424
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: the biggest parlays. Biggest parlay ever hit was when Bryson

425
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 1: won the US Open, paid about eighteen K. But that's

426
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: a one off. If the Texans can, we still got

427
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: an uphill battle. We're still chasing. We need the Jags

428
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: to drop and they just they beat the hell out

429
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: of the Indianapolis Colts. But there is no disputing they

430
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: are one of, if not the hottest team in the

431
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: NFL right now. And it starts and ends with their defense.

432
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: Their defense is dominant. I don't think they can win

433
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. I have a hard time seeing especially

434
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: if I mean they're not gonna get the one seed.

435
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: They'd have to win three games just to get to

436
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Feels a little unlikely. Their offense. I mean,

437
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 1: they had a stretch tonight where they come out of halftime,

438
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: they're up. I think the score was ten to seven.

439
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: Let we pull up the box score really quick. It's ten.

440
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: It's ten to nothing at half. Actually yeah, because then

441
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. The Chiefs scored so out of half this

442
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: is how they start the second half. Three and out punt,

443
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: three and out punt minus four yards. Two yards in

444
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: those two drives so combined minus two yards, three and

445
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 1: out punt for no yards. So after their first three

446
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: possessions in the second half, they combined for a total

447
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: of negative two yards. Their fourth drive was three plays

448
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 1: in punt as well. Their fifth drive was six plays

449
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: in nineteen yards and then a punt, and then that's

450
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: when Andy went for it, and then they got it

451
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: back and scored. The offense at any moment can look inept.

452
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: When they're playing a really good guy upfront, like a

453
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: guy like Chris Jones, he can feel immediately like one

454
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: of the greatest players in the history league because he's unblockable.

455
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: And CJ was doing a great job the night of

456
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: scrambling around. He actually made some incredible plays. I thought

457
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: both guys did a pretty good job scrambling around. CJ

458
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 1: I thought was a little more accurate on some plays. Now,

459
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs had a bunch of drops as well, but

460
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 1: CJ kept a lot of plays alive with his legs.

461
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: Had to. It's just hard to trust that offense, I mean,

462
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: woody marks. They're relying on him a lot. Nick Chubb

463
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: is kind of a shell of his oneself. Obviously he's injured.

464
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: You know, you just don't have much faith in their

465
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 1: ability to run the ball. Nico Collins is a really

466
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,199
Speaker 1: good player. They're gonna also rely on some of these

467
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: younger guys. I think the Iowa State rookie had a

468
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: big catch tonight. But I have a hard time seeing

469
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: them win a ton of games in a row because offensively, like,

470
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to score points. But when your defense

471
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: is this good and clearly they have a good coaching staff.

472
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: To Migo's a stud They're just a well run operation.

473
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: At this point. They could beat anyone in an individual situation.

474
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,719
Speaker 1: So if they're the seventh seed, they can take out

475
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: the two seed, like the five or six seed, and

476
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: draw the number one seed in the second round. They

477
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: can win that game. They can win any individual game.

478
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: It's why if they were in the Super Bowl, they

479
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: could win the Super Bowl, because like that defense could

480
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: take over all of a sudden, it's ten to ten

481
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. But I just think it's hard

482
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: to do that consistently against the best teams in the

483
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: league to win that many games when your offense isn't

484
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: playing that well and just not that you know, reliable,

485
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: though their quarterback is a good playmaker, it's just that

486
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: defense in this team, there's a physicality to them. I mean,

487
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: I just thought the overall physicality on that field tonight

488
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: was a little bit of a throwback. It felt like,

489
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: you know, pre ct rules when you just went across

490
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: the middle and you could just get a concussion, the

491
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 1: type where you would shake off and they throw you

492
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: back in, but it would look like you were dead

493
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: on the field and like three plays plays later you'd

494
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: be back. There were so many big hits, big tackles.

495
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: I thought today was just a very physical day in general.

496
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: And I think part of it is when it gets

497
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: really cold outside and you start talking about in the teens,

498
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,719
Speaker 1: what was it like seventeen degrees at kickoff? You're talking

499
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: you gotta be fucking nuts. I mean, absolutely bananas upstairs.

500
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: To play linebacker, to play safety, and to be able

501
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: to like trigger downhill when a guy is, you know,

502
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: ten yards away about to catch a ball and you

503
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,959
Speaker 1: see and you break and you go full speed and

504
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: you don't even think for a second to hesitate. So

505
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: the level of like contained craziness on the field on

506
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: some of these high level games today in the weather

507
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: was just off the charts. Listen, We're never gonna have

508
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: the days of the eighties and the nineties. You know

509
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: some of those hit videos that used to pre Internet,

510
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: and they wouldn't go viral, but they would sell because

511
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: they would be like on the shelves of like Biggest

512
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: Hits NFL nineteen ninety six, every kid I knew would

513
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: go into the video store and want their mom or

514
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: dad to rent it or buy it. Like those days

515
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 1: are kind of done, but there is still like some

516
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 1: nostalgia for me when I watch these games and I

517
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 1: watch guys just get blasted. And that's what the Texans,

518
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 1: I mean, the Chiefs matches of the night that was

519
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: a war zone for sixty minutes on an NFL field, Narrowhead,

520
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 1: and the Texans just that mentality that translates. It always

521
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 1: has and always will. So when you have that good

522
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: of a defense, you got a shot, right, I would

523
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: take them like they have a better shot to me

524
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 1: to beat anybody than the Jags do. And that's no

525
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 1: real disrespect for the Jags. List you're nine to four,

526
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: You've beat some good teams. But I just think what

527
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: the Texans do well translates better in a big game

528
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 1: than the Jags, though. I mean, listen, I respect Liam Cohen.

529
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: They've done an excellent job that franchise a joke in

530
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: their nine to four. Both these two teams actually deserve

531
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 1: a lot of credit. I mean, the start the Texans have,

532
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 1: they they've got to loose some sleep at night, knowing,

533
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: like God, if we just had won one of those

534
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: early games or not dropped one of those stupid games,

535
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 1: we would be right there. And if we got you know,

536
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: home field, if we were able to get like you know,

537
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be hard to get anything else than

538
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: the three seed, given that the Patriots and the Broncos

539
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 1: in some order are going to be one and two.

540
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 1: But yeahs, Chiefs dynasty is over and the Texans are coming.

541
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: Before we dive into some other stuff, let me hit

542
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,840

561
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: I thought Bears Packers is that second half was some

562
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,479
Speaker 1: of the most riveting TV I can remember. That was

563
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: that was elite. That was awesome. We have watched some

564
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: bad football this year. That was not it. I thought

565
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: there was so much to that game one when it

566
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: looked like the Packers were about to step on their

567
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: neck early in the game, they're of fourteen to three.

568
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: Caleb has like under forty yards passing, You're just thinking,

569
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: are the Packers gonna roll? These guys? Are the Bears

570
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: kind of sneaky frauds. Then they come out in the

571
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: second half, it's like, no, we're not sneaky frauds or

572
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: the Chicago freaking Bears led by Johnson. Caleb started scrambling

573
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: around making some sweet plays. There's just some like guile

574
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: and heart to this franchise that simply didn't exist, you know,

575
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: the way people like the Packers have been good forever,

576
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: and there's no team that can go from one of

577
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: the greatest players of all time to an even better

578
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: player than him in Rodgers Todays Jordan Love, who is

579
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: like third in the odds right now for MVP. Actually

580
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: I think he's fourth, but it's still very much alive.

581
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: Like you just don't do that. It's I've seen it

582
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: twice happen in my life. Joe Montana, Steve Young, Jeff

583
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: Garcia for of Aaron Rodgers to Jordan Love. They're always

584
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: well coached, they're always well built. You know, I didn't

585
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: bet the game because I'm like, listen, do I think

586
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: the Packers should win? I do, but I'm not betting

587
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: against this Bears team and then you watch that first

588
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: half like, oh, maybe they are who they I thought

589
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: they would be. It's like no team is heart, team

590
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: has like a physical nature. You know. They have a

591
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: lot of teams, right look the I guess the Lions

592
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: would be an outlier team that legitimately has two backs.

593
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: Most good teams, like I rely on Derrick Henry, I'm

594
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: relying on Christian McCaffrey, I'm relying on James Cook and

595
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: rightfully so, this is my blue Chipper, Saquon Barkley. I'm

596
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: gonna ride this guy like Secretariat. Now with Manunjai you

597
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: got him and Swift you combine like today, I think

598
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: they combined for almost one hundred and fifty hundred and

599
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: twenty yards. And anytime that you can run the ball,

600
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: and this goes to Saturday night with Indiana, that creates

601
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: a toughness because you practice that and even if you

602
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: go off to scout team, eventually you go ones on

603
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: ones in practice. And the physicality of a running game

604
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: adds to the physicality of a team and adds to

605
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: the toughness of a team. And to go on the

606
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: road like one thing that is not really arguable Packers

607
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: team speed on defense is elite, and their physicality. I

608
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: don't know if all eleven guys you would call like

609
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: a high end hitter, but it felt like nine of

610
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: the eleven guys will have no hesitation to lower their

611
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: shoulder and blast you. I mean their physicality, their team speed.

612
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: Obviously Micah. Anytime you have a guy like Miles Garrett

613
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: or Micah who is so fast in the open field,

614
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: they feel even that much. For von Miller was like

615
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: this when he played for Denver and for Green Bay

616
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: to be up in the second half twenty one to fourteen,

617
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: and the Bears to get the ball with a little

618
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: less than like two minutes left to go in the

619
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: third quarter and basically go on an eighteen minute or

620
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: an eight minute seventeen play drive and score a touchdown.

621
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: I was like, listen, whether they win or lose this game,

622
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: this team is no joke. Do I think they'll win

623
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? Probably not, But like this is a

624
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,719
Speaker 1: legitimate playoff team, and I would argue this about the Bears.

625
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: I told this to Colin. All the pressures on the

626
00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: Packers at lambeau Field, you make this big tray for

627
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: for Micah Parsons people like your boy has tickets on

628
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: them to go to the super Bowl, like they were

629
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: a super Bowl caliber team and you're eight three and

630
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: one you have one leg, like you gotta win this game.

631
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: To me, the pressure pie chart for that game was

632
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: green Bay zero Chicago. Even if Chicago would end up

633
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: losing by a couple of touchdowns, like whatever, we had

634
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: the Browns coming up, then we get him at home.

635
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: Season not over by any means, but the way they

636
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: lost was like, I mean, Caleb literally hit the play

637
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: that he fucked up on and he was probably like

638
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: a step late because tight end was open, uh, and

639
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: he just didn't pull the trigger right away. It is

640
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: a tough play. I would also imagine he's pretty gassed.

641
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: Like part of it is also the energy that goes

642
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: into these games, factoring in the cold weather. You know,

643
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: he's probably not as spry as he realizes that he's not,

644
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: Like he doesn't even realize physically what percentage he's at.

645
00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: It's like a video game when a guy starts at

646
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: a hundred and then he's down to like fifty percent

647
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 1: and he's just not moving as quick. And I don't

648
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: even think Caleb probably quite realized because he could make

649
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: that throw in his sleep, even if he's late, with

650
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: the power of his arm overthrow it. But I think

651
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 1: sometimes the factoring in of a twelve degree game. Was

652
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: the last time I know he mentioned to Brady, like,

653
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: I feel comfortable playing in these games. I grew up

654
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: in this area. Well, yeah, you've been at USC the

655
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: last couple of years though, so it's like, you know,

656
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: last year in Chicago, but you haven't played in that

657
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,399
Speaker 1: many of these frigid games. And I would also say

658
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: this about the Midwest. It's colder than DC, so it

659
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,760
Speaker 1: doesn't get any colder than that little stretch of Kansas City,

660
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 1: you know, Chicago, Green Bay, like that's as cold as

661
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: we got. Cleveland today looked frigid Buffalo. I mean, these

662
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: places are colder than everywhere else in the country, and

663
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: it just does affect you. So the more you play,

664
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: like Love's pretty comfortable in it. He's lived in Green

665
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: Bay for how many years now as a backup, just

666
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,760
Speaker 1: standing on the high line forever, then as the starter

667
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: now for the last whatever three years. Like you just

668
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 1: you live in Green Bay six or seven years. I

669
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: don't want to say you ever get used to it,

670
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: but like you somewhat become accustomed, like you're more comfortable

671
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: in frigid temperatures, even Laflor today. There is no amount

672
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: of money you could have paid me one to attend

673
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: that game. I would have lasted five minutes. But if

674
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: I was a coach in that game, to not have

675
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: a beanie on, and you know, you look at the

676
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: Bears coaches like they looked a little colder, right, I mean,

677
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,280
Speaker 1: I've seen high Tower standing there next to Ben Johnson,

678
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 1: like I respect Ben Johnson's a hat on, you know,

679
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,879
Speaker 1: the floor. Just the the no cap on his head

680
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: to me is kind of like a muscle flex of

681
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: a player. Even Michael Parsons was the coldest game he'd

682
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: ever played in makes sense, right, Penn State's not that cold.

683
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: It's cold, It ain't that And last time I checked,

684
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: like Penn State ain't playing home games in December, playing

685
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: in Dallas, you're definitely not playing games like that. I

686
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: lived in Philly. It doesn't get that cold Dallas indoors.

687
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: So I I just that that game was what was

688
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: pretty incredible. Caleb run around made a bunch of plays.

689
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: Jordan Love I thought was awesome. One major wild card

690
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: ist is Christian Watson now five touchdowns in the last

691
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,760
Speaker 1: four games. You know, from bombs the slants of the house,

692
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 1: he gives them an element that is just it's, you know,

693
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: losing Craft sucks, but getting him back is kind of

694
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: balanced the scales a little bit. And listen, some guys

695
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: are just badasses. Some guys are just in a huge game,

696
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,240
Speaker 1: I'd want this guy on my side. And Josh Jacobs

697
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 1: is one of those guys. You know, for all the

698
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 1: shit Mike Mayowk's ten year takes, you know, when he

699
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,919
Speaker 1: was the GM of the Raiders with Gruden, he loved

700
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs and he drafted him in the first round.

701
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 1: And Josh Jacobs is a big time player. He's such

702
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: a good, you know, receiver out of the backfield. The

703
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: play he made on that third down of the day

704
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 1: where they run him, it's like the sweep outside and

705
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,439
Speaker 1: he's just crowd. I mean there's four guys. I mean,

706
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: Barry Sanders could have been in that position. You're like,

707
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: I was just not going to go your way on

708
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 1: this run. It was not your fault. That bad play

709
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: call against that defense. And what does he do. He

710
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: kind of stops breaks through a tackle, breaks through another

711
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, it's like a fifteen yard game.

712
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: It's like that's just all talents. It's like, well, yeah,

713
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: from Alabama, he's got some ability. First round and he was.

714
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,399
Speaker 1: He was big time today and that that was a game,

715
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 1: and so were the other two running backs for the Bears.

716
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: That was That was awesome. That was I think my

717
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: favorite NFL game so far this season. Maybe I'm being hyperbolic,

718
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: maybe I'm overreacting because it just happened today, but I

719
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: really enjoyed it. Speaking of a game that wasn't as

720
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: good was the Steelers and the Ravens. It wasn't bad.

721
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 1: But you know, when stories come out, if you do,

722
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: like what I do for a living, a lot of

723
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: my businesses reacting to stories. So you do a lot

724
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 1: enough you go, who, what's the point of this story?

725
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 1: And when Schefter over the weekend tweets about the status

726
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: of Tomlin's contract, that like he's essentially going into a

727
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: lame duck year because it has a team option for

728
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven and the writings on the wall that

729
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 1: they're probably not going to pick that up, so it's

730
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:25,280
Speaker 1: like they're not going to fire him, but essentially putting

731
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 1: out the bat signal he's available to be traded for that.

732
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: That's the way I took it. Could be wrong, but

733
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: just trying to read between the lines, I went, WHOA,

734
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: this is kind of great. Hey, who knows, maybe Tomlin's

735
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 1: putting that out. Someone is like I, I think that

736
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: is coming from some angle of the Pittsburgh Steelers. You

737
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: know where I stood. I love the Ravens in this game.

738
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 1: I just I said, even based on last game, Lamar

739
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: clearly looks like fifty percent of his normal self. But

740
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: Steeler teams leacoln oil it's a problem. Well, I was wrong.

741
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 1: Rogers was really good today. DK Metcalf Rogers said after

742
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: the game in the postgame interview, he went out of

743
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: his way to like hammer Home. Like DK, this week

744
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: was unreal in practice, his focus. He was dialed as

745
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 1: anyone on our team has been all season long. And

746
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: the clip has gone viral of DK playing Gunner that

747
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 1: that was a kind of draw the line in the

748
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: sand game for the whole franchise. But I do think

749
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,439
Speaker 1: with the Tomlin thing, you know, Rogers pushed back after,

750
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: like you guys need to shut up. It's like we didn't.

751
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: I didn't make up his story like the Tomlin thing.

752
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: It's like, well, you guys are six and six kind

753
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: of circling the drain. You're big underdog on the road

754
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. Stories are breaking about your coach being in

755
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: the lame duck situation. They're not gonna fire him, but

756
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: they probably trade him. Yeah, I mean, I like the Ravens.

757
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 1: I was wrong. I was really wrong. I think Lamar

758
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: looks terrible and it's not because he's just a bad player.

759
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: Clearly he injured and not nearly. And I mean if

760
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: his speed in this peak was a ten out of ten,

761
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: what do you think his speed is right now? Like

762
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:13,720
Speaker 1: a five? I mean, Caleb is dramatically faster running around

763
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 1: making plays. It's not even close. There's not really much

764
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: playmaking to Lamar. There was a run. Who was calling?

765
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: Was Romo calling that game where he breaks a run?

766
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: And I think it was Romo. If that game feels

767
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 1: like seventeen hours ago at ten thirty at night and

768
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 1: he goes, god, it's rare. You see Lamar just get

769
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 1: tackled in the open field like that. It's like, well, yeah,

770
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: because this is not the version of Lamar. So whatever

771
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: they're playing with to share, and their defense clearly isn't

772
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: as good. I mean, the Steelers were cooking them. And

773
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,280
Speaker 1: even on the one play I think it was twenty

774
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 1: to sixteen, it's like, okay, the Ravens are gonna get

775
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: back into this game. Just a pretty basic like play

776
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: action rollout dump off the Jalen Warren. He walks in

777
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 1: the end zone like forty yards. What the fuck's going

778
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: on here? Baltimon More so, congrats to the Steelers rally

779
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: than the troupe. That that's a massive win. Now, the

780
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks it's it's by no means over.

781
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 1: They still play each other again. You know, the Ravens

782
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 1: next week play the Bengals, then they got the Patriots.

783
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: You know, next week the Steelers playing Monday Night Football,

784
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: which is actually a sneaky interesting game. Now they play

785
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 1: the Dolphins and then they go on a short week

786
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: to Detroit. So right now the Steelers are in first

787
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: place obviously, but this thing could get weird. Now. I

788
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: also have no trust in the Ravens, Like, do I

789
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: think the Ravens are going to go to Cincinnati and win?

790
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 1: I think that will be pretty difficult. So that was

791
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: now come today that I didn't see coming in at

792
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: one point time. I mean, the Steelers are up like

793
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 1: twenty to nine. You can tell me about all you

794
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 1: want about the yards, but I mean Steelers are in

795
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: full control now, you know. Do I agree with the

796
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 1: overturned touchdown call? Unlikely? Like I do think we've gotten

797
00:41:56,320 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: to a point in basketball and football that like we

798
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:01,879
Speaker 1: know what a catches when we see it, like that's

799
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: a catch, that's a touchdown, no different than in basketball

800
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: when two guys are touching the ball. In the history

801
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: of the sport, we always knew who it went off on.

802
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: And now it's like slow play replay. It actually went

803
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: off the extension of his cuticles, this piece of skin

804
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: that's hanging off. It's like, what are we doing? But

805
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 1: it is what it is and didn't count. And then

806
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh, you know when he kicked a field goal?

807
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: What was to score twenty two to twenty nine? I

808
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: can't even trying to think off the top of my head. Now,

809
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:36,760
Speaker 1: let me pull this up, because he kicked a field

810
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: goal late in the game and it was like, John,

811
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: what are you doing? It's it's twenty seven twenty nine,

812
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: so they're down eight. He's on the eighteen yard line

813
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: and it's fourth and eight. Now, their offense had been

814
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: pretty shitty. It just it was hard to trust Lamar

815
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 1: to just pull a play out of his ass, like

816
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. To me, if Lamar

817
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 1: is playing like MVP status, I think you go for it.

818
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 1: You know, you don't even hesitate. I can imagine him

819
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 1: kind of weighing it a little bit. But fourth and

820
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: eight with seven minutes to go, you're at the eighteen

821
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: yard line, I don't know. I mean, I think you,

822
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 1: I think you go for it there. But he kicks

823
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 1: the field goal to make it a five point game,

824
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: which is a buddy text me. You just don't see

825
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: that anymore because the analytics, the front office, the ownership's like,

826
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: go for it, which I'm cool with now too, like,

827
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 1: let's go for it. And he rolls out and remember

828
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: Harbaugh was at the forefront of the movement, so when

829
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 1: you see him roll out the kicker, you're like, Harbaugh

830
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 1: kind of going full plus here, like yeah he did.

831
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: And then obviously that was the final score of the game,

832
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 1: twenty seven to twenty two. The Bills were legitimately in

833
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 1: major trouble. It was twenty eight to twenty five Cincinnati

834
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: and the Bengals were driving and it felt like Joe Burrow,

835
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: who just missed the majority of the season, just shows

836
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 1: back up. Is like, yeah, I'm just one of the

837
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: best players in the league. And oh, in a snow game,

838
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna dominate the Buffalo Bills. I'm gonna throw At

839
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: one point time, it's like this guy canna throw for

840
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 1: five touchdowns. He's driving him right down the field. You're like,

841
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: is this how like this Josh Allen Sean McDermott. Era

842
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: is gonna end with Burrow doing it to him in Buffalo.

843
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 1: Then bur throws the pass, Dude goes the other way,

844
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: flips like that. Then the very next pass he throws

845
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: another pick, and Buffalo season is legitimately saved. Buffalo wasn't

846
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 1: just in major trouble. They felt dead. It felt like

847
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:43,839
Speaker 1: he was putting a knife in him and stabbing him

848
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 1: over and over again until those two plays. And what's

849
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: crazy is I think Burrow just like Josh Mike. Takeaway

850
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 1: from that game is like, these are two best quarterbacks

851
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: in the league right now. I'm not talking a big picture,

852
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:56,800
Speaker 1: I'm not talking over the last five years. I'm just saying,

853
00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: two day in this league, like those two guys. Wait,

854
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 1: I just watched and I've watched football at all these

855
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: fucking games all season long, like I do every year.

856
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: Doesn't get any better than that. And I'd argue Burrows,

857
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: like Jesus, guy looks good. He missed all this time,

858
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 1: he comes back and he's this good with his turf toe.

859
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: How's this even possible? T Higgins looks like Calvin Johnson

860
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: out there. T Higgins. I'm watching it because I was

861
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:22,800
Speaker 1: not a critical like you're gonna invest that much in

862
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: two wide receivers and then you're watching T Higgins just moss.

863
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 1: Dudes make plays, I mean, just make the one hand

864
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: a touchdown catch at the end of the game, which

865
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:32,399
Speaker 1: almost felt like this is dad, he was gonna get

866
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: back in the game. This guy's a beast and uh

867
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 1: and yeah, but those two plays. And listen, you can

868
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 1: play a great game as a quarterback, but if you

869
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 1: throw two picks and one of them is a pick six,

870
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: like in a weird way, you kind of lose the

871
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 1: game for your team, even though you clearly were the

872
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 1: reason your team was winning. But that's the way football goes.

873
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: It's why coaches It's why coordinators, it's why players talk

874
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: about turnovers, turnover margin. We've been hearing it since the

875
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: beginning the sport turnovers. We gotta win the turnover. We

876
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: cannot turn the ball over. You definitely can't turn the

877
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: ball over in the second half on the road against

878
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame quarterback. And that's what they did

879
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: in to bit them directly in the s with taking

880
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 1: out a chunk of skin. And for a split second

881
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 1: you start doing the math, You're like, did Cincinnati run

882
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 1: the table there? Like I think they could, And then

883
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, those two passes happen and you're like, uh,

884
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:26,839
Speaker 1: this thing's kind of over. And you're like, well, they're

885
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 1: not gonna run the table and the Bills are alive.

886
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: And that's how fast it happens. Now, big picture with

887
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: the Bills, you know, like I said with the Texans,

888
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: you can't win the Super Bowl when your offense is

889
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 1: just that unreliable. I would say the same thing with

890
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 1: the Bills. You cannot win the Super Bowl win your

891
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: defense is that unreliable. I don't care if your quarterback

892
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 1: on any given game can score five or six touchdowns

893
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: in every way possible and just turn into superhuman players.

894
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 1: It's not possible to win games in the playoffs with

895
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:58,479
Speaker 1: your defense looking like that, and their defenses isn't good.

896
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: And I get it. You know Hig and Chase, even

897
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,280
Speaker 1: though I don't even know what Chase's final numbers were today,

898
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 1: but their offense with those two guys is better than most.

899
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 1: But I think we've seen enough of this team to

900
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:15,439
Speaker 1: know that they're just not a reliable unit. I mean,

901
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,319
Speaker 1: Burrow three for two hundred and seventy yards, four touchdowns,

902
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 1: Higgins had six for ninety, Goseki had six for eighty.

903
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 1: They actually did a pretty good job on Jamar he

904
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:29,800
Speaker 1: only had five for forty four. But I just you

905
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 1: watch this union, you just they're not talented enough, and

906
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 1: it's kind of sad. If you're a Bills fan now,

907
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 1: I think what you hope is just get us in

908
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 1: the dance. It's gonna be hard for us to win

909
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 1: the division. We're gonna need the Patriots to blow a

910
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:44,359
Speaker 1: game here and then we're gonna have to take take

911
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: them down when we play them. But like, why can't

912
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 1: Josh be superhuman for a couple of games? The answer

913
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: is he can, But your margin feerr In these games,

914
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: even winning's superhuman is like you need the other quarterback

915
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: to throw a pick with a guy right in front

916
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 1: of his face, which that just doesn't happen that often.

917
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,439
Speaker 1: Now in the snowy games, you know clearly the ball

918
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 1: was kind of slipping out of Burrow's hands and he

919
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 1: tried to push it. Don't blame him. I mean, obviously,

920
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 1: if he could do it over, he just would have

921
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 1: ate it and just hit the ground. But it's easy

922
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 1: to say that after the dude's running around running the

923
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:18,839
Speaker 1: other way. Burrow tried to tackle him and he went

924
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: right through it. But that game, like listen, I enjoy

925
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: like the Bears Packers, where every yard matters, every first

926
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 1: down is contested. Don't get me wrong, Cincinnati Buffalo was

927
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:35,359
Speaker 1: extremely entertaining, and I will watch two great quarterbacks any

928
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 1: day of the week and twice on Sundays. But like

929
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 1: the style of football I prefer is you know what

930
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 1: we saw in the Bears Packers game, the physicality. Even

931
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 1: Texans Chiefs. You can tell me it's terrible offense, but

932
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 1: I like watching people get crushed. I like football for

933
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 1: its physicality and its defensive prowess, and that was definitely

934
00:48:54,400 --> 00:49:03,439
Speaker 1: not taking place in the Bills Bangal Game. Daniel Craig

935
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 1: returns as Ben wi Blanc in Wake Up dead Man,

936
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 1: A Knives Out Mystery with an all star ensemble cast

937
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,879
Speaker 1: for his most dangerous case yet. When young priest Judd

938
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 1: Duplenacy is sent to assist charismatic firebrand monsignor Jefferson Wicks,

939
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 1: it's clear that all is not well in the pews.

940
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 1: Written and directed by Ryan Johnson's, critics are calling it

941
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:28,399
Speaker 1: the sharpest knives Out movie yet. Watch Wake Up dead Man,

942
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:32,320
Speaker 1: A Knives Out Mystery now in select theaters and on Netflix,

943
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 1: rated PG thirteen. Well, let's just go rapid fire on

944
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 1: some stories. Listen, I've talked to a lot of shit. Now.

945
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,799
Speaker 1: I don't think I've made it up. It's all been

946
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 1: based off what we've seen, right. I mean, he hasn't

947
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:56,799
Speaker 1: played well. He was being compared to JaMarcus Russell statistically,

948
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 1: but he threw three touchdowns a day. I kind of

949
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: stopped paying attention in the second half, but he made

950
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: a nice pass on like a deep out route. I remember,

951
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: I think they were up like fourteen to nothing, and

952
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:12,360
Speaker 1: thinking like that, that's just a high level NFL pass,

953
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 1: and we got a long way to go. Washington, designing good.

954
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 1: But if you can just build and just have some

955
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: games where you throw some touchdowns, you make progress. At

956
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 1: this point in time, people would be happy. And what

957
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:27,319
Speaker 1: I mean people, I mean the fans, because clearly it

958
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:29,720
Speaker 1: had hit a low point. You have a game like today,

959
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 1: throw a couple of touchdowns, even if your numbers aren't

960
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: great sixteen to twenty three fo one hundred and sixty

961
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 1: sixty yards, but you just you just make some explosive plays.

962
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 1: That's all people want, just have some positive plays. So

963
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:46,360
Speaker 1: hat tip to JJ McCarthy who kind of found himself

964
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 1: on the mat, drug himself up and had a positive day. Shador.

965
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 1: He made the Judy pass today, and I understand Judy

966
00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:00,319
Speaker 1: beats the coverage in is open, but in the game

967
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 1: in the elements to drive that pass was like Dyan

968
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 1: Gabriel does do this. He made a beautiful touchdown pass

969
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 1: to the Djoku in the corner of the end zone.

970
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 1: He had an awful interception as well that kind of

971
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: scrambled around and just threw it up in the middle

972
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: of the field. But one thing he has clearly given

973
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 1: them is just explosive plays. And at this point in time.

974
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 1: I haven't seen any Stefancies quotes after the game. I

975
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 1: know social media is just absolutely destroying him for the

976
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 1: two point play at the end of the game to

977
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 1: try to tie it, where he ran like a what

978
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 1: would it be considered a wildcat end around? I guess

979
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 1: that Jenkins never gives up the ball though if he had,

980
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: it would have scored. But I think people rightfully so

981
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 1: it's like, why are we out think of the room here,

982
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:50,760
Speaker 1: your quarterbacks making plays? Just just let him keep it. Granted,

983
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:53,840
Speaker 1: if Shador hadn't played in that game, I know for

984
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 1: myself and most of you listening, unless you're a Browns

985
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 1: or Titans fan, wouldn't have watched one second of that thing.

986
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:01,800
Speaker 1: Cam Ward is kind of a disaster. I mean, the

987
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,400
Speaker 1: Titans are a disaster places place of the Nightmare. The

988
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 1: Browns are even a bigger disaster. I mean, for a

989
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: team that gets talked about a lot, holy shit, do

990
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 1: they always lose? I mean they just lose every single week.

991
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 1: If I hear one more time how good their players are,

992
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 1: almost talent they have, well, then what's wrong? It's Stefanski

993
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 1: who all hears to get a job immediately. He will

994
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:26,760
Speaker 1: team three and ten. He just lost the Titans at home,

995
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 1: I mean losts of the Titans at home. They have

996
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:35,240
Speaker 1: a player with twenty sacks, the quarterback through three touchdowns today,

997
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 1: the losts of the Titans. I mean, listen, nice guy

998
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: met them once. Cool to me in the brief interaction,

999
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 1: But I think we got to acknowledge, like Stefans could

1000
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: get if he got fired, he'd get a job immediately.

1001
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 1: He would. The other fan base would be fired up

1002
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 1: for that one if we did like the college role reversal.

1003
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 1: Not sure about that one. The story that came out

1004
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 1: this weekend was a little weird with Deshaun Watson. Uh,

1005
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 1: I haven't quite I have, not that I spent that

1006
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 1: much time thinking about it. But why would everyone, the

1007
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 1: rap sheets and the schefters be putting out that not

1008
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: only is Watson coming back, which financially like they are

1009
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:17,839
Speaker 1: in a predicament, that they gave the guy hundreds of

1010
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,960
Speaker 1: millions of dollars guaranteed, so he can't just cut him

1011
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:25,280
Speaker 1: and eat this enormous dead cap. The UFL wouldn't trade

1012
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 1: for him. But you know, I don't know, I just

1013
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:31,840
Speaker 1: I don't even I don't even know what to say,

1014
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:34,759
Speaker 1: Like you can't bring him back. I saw someone that

1015
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:36,879
Speaker 1: covers the NFL as like, if you did bring him

1016
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 1: back and make him your starting quarterback, that would be

1017
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 1: the worst decision in the history of the league. And

1018
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:43,880
Speaker 1: I was like, I kind of agree. He never even

1019
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:47,040
Speaker 1: played like Shador. I mean, did he ever have one

1020
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: game in his Brown's career that he threw for three

1021
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty yards and three touchdowns? I don't think

1022
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:56,399
Speaker 1: he did so. I mean he looked objectively terrible. Now

1023
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 1: he's coming off an achilles, you're gonna bring him back?

1024
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 1: Something was fishy with that story. I didn't spend that

1025
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:04,240
Speaker 1: much time trying to figure out the angle, like who's

1026
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 1: benefiting from this? Are the Browns trying to mess with Chador? Like?

1027
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:12,800
Speaker 1: I don't why would they do that? Is is Mogeeda

1028
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 1: trying to put pressure on the Browns like that? I

1029
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 1: can't even It's hard to even figure out where does

1030
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 1: this thing even start? Who even has this idea to like,

1031
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: let's we wanted to Sean Watson back, but it happened,

1032
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:30,840
Speaker 1: and it was a story. Another story was, uh, Daniel

1033
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 1: Jones tore his achilles today and uh, you know, I

1034
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 1: I threw out on the the everything app X. That

1035
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 1: shocking that a guy with a broken leg got injured.

1036
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 1: H I respect his toughness, but you think someone will

1037
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 1: stepped up like aah, it's probably not a good idea.

1038
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:51,959
Speaker 1: And then you just seen these people. It's this other

1039
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 1: leg and it's a non contact acute guys, when you

1040
00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:00,880
Speaker 1: have an injury, I think of basketball players Klay Thompson

1041
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 1: tore his ACL What did you do the next year

1042
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 1: when he was playing pickup before he'd even fully rehabbed

1043
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 1: the ACL, he tore his achilles. It happens to a

1044
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 1: lot of explosive athletes like Derrick Rose did it all

1045
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 1: the time because you overcompensate on one side of your

1046
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:19,280
Speaker 1: body for the other side and it creates an injury.

1047
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:22,320
Speaker 1: What do you think happened over the last several weeks

1048
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 1: when you are playing on a broken leg? Do you

1049
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 1: think and listen, I'm no body you know understanding the

1050
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 1: equilibrium of the movements, of the mechanisms of all your

1051
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:37,400
Speaker 1: joints and everything. But if you tell me you have

1052
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 1: a broken leg, the pressure of your steps, especially if

1053
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 1: you're playing something like football and driving off stuff and

1054
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:49,439
Speaker 1: pedaling into three five seven step drops, rolling out You're

1055
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:52,840
Speaker 1: probably putting a different amount of pressure than you normally

1056
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 1: would with a non broken leg. So again, no doctor

1057
00:55:57,400 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 1: just went to a couple California State schools. Shout out

1058
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 1: cal Poly is new coach Tim Skipper's getting introduced on

1059
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:08,920
Speaker 1: Monday morning. Fired up for you, buddy. But you can't

1060
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 1: tell me that that didn't play somewhat of a part

1061
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 1: into this whole thing. Do I think his achilles injuries

1062
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 1: just completely random? I doubt. I think that the broken

1063
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 1: leg then throwing him out there was just Listen, the

1064
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 1: Colts would have been screwed if he had torn his

1065
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 1: achilles or he haded not. They were gonna lose that

1066
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:29,839
Speaker 1: game no matter what. But now this disaster, like they're

1067
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:32,440
Speaker 1: not winning another game. They got, you know, Anthony Richardon.

1068
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: I looked up on Riley Leonards out there, the Notre

1069
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 1: Dame quarterback, and I'm thinking, where's Anthony Richinson. It turns

1070
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 1: out he's still on injured reserve. Obviously, sas Gardner is injured.

1071
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:47,439
Speaker 1: This thing is a mess, an absolute mess. And while

1072
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:51,880
Speaker 1: the Jets did lose today by multiple touchdowns, anytime you

1073
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 1: have other team's first round picks, they probably got a

1074
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 1: lot of joy out of seeing the Cowboys lose and

1075
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 1: out of seeing the Colts lose, and there's a decent

1076
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: chance at eight and five the Colts finish eight to nine.

1077
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 1: I was gonna We've been going out for a while

1078
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,399
Speaker 1: and it's pretty late, but so I'll just I'll get

1079
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:11,279
Speaker 1: more into this throughout the week. My two things on

1080
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 1: college football are this. First, I'm a small school guy.

1081
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 1: I didn't go to Oregon, I didn't go to USC,

1082
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 1: I didn't go to Texas. I went to fucking cal

1083
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 1: Pauly or D one Double A. And then after that

1084
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 1: I went to Fresno State, which is obviously not a

1085
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: powerful for school and considered the group of five. So

1086
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,000
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. I have a lot of respect,

1087
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 1: and I worked with a program at Out Paul and

1088
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: obviously I worked at Fresno State. I have a ton

1089
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 1: of respect for people at those levels. It is I've

1090
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 1: worked in the NFL. People take football just as seriously

1091
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 1: when I was at Fresno State as they did in

1092
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 1: the NFL. They worked similar hours. Players train is hard,

1093
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 1: everyone cares, but there is a different level of talent.

1094
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 1: And I think one big part of the conversation today

1095
00:57:56,840 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 1: with college football was Notre Dame Alabama, Miami, Miami beat

1096
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. Alabama's not as good all that shit. And

1097
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 1: I think that was the conversation was like, I think

1098
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 1: they tell you this a lot sometimes with politics, when

1099
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 1: these crazy stories, they're trying to get you to look

1100
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 1: over here instead of just see what's actually going on.

1101
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:18,440
Speaker 1: And I felt like that what was kind of happening

1102
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 1: with college football today. It's like, guys, are you looking

1103
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 1: at the twelve teams? Do you see number eleven and twelve?

1104
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 1: There are regardless the order or how good is this

1105
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:31,440
Speaker 1: team or is Alabama? I know those ten teams have

1106
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 1: nothing in common with those teams eleven and twelve. Why

1107
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 1: are we having a college football playoff and inviting the

1108
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:42,800
Speaker 1: little guy? They do not belong? And a simple fix

1109
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 1: for this is Division one Double A where I grew up, Davis, California,

1110
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 1: is UC Davis. It's a school. They're now in the

1111
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 1: Elite eight. They're hosting the Elite eight game this weekend

1112
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 1: against like Rhode Island, they played the D one Double

1113
00:58:55,280 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 1: A playoffs, the division that North Dakota State, South Dakota

1114
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 1: State in Montana and Montana State have dominated forever. Right

1115
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 1: they have their own playoffs. They start like two weeks

1116
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 1: ago and they play another couple of weeks. It's just

1117
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 1: their own little division. They play each other. Why can't

1118
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 1: we do that with the other two levels, the Power four,

1119
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 1: acc SEC, Big ten and Big ten, Big twelve and

1120
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 1: those teams. Right, So instead of two lane and JMU,

1121
00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 1: it just would have been Notre Dame and Texas, right

1122
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 1: because and then the power the Power five would have

1123
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:42,439
Speaker 1: Boise States, jmu's two lanes, whoever, whoever the twelve best

1124
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:44,919
Speaker 1: or sixteen best teams and just do it that way

1125
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 1: because the entire issue. And I think I mentioned this

1126
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 1: to Coward. I do think when they originally set it

1127
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,680
Speaker 1: up they didn't want to get sued if they did

1128
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 1: not give them an automatic seat at the table, right,

1129
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:01,439
Speaker 1: because they basically just said the highest rated or Power five.

1130
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 1: It's even fucking hard to say, you know, it's D

1131
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 1: one double A. It's his own thing. It's like Tulane

1132
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 1: has nothing in common with any We saw them play

1133
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:12,920
Speaker 1: Ole miss they lost forty five to ten, and I

1134
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 1: was texted with a buddy in the NFL that knows

1135
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 1: John Summer all very well and loves them, thinks he's

1136
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 1: really good. I watched them playing Friday night. They're pretty good.

1137
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:23,440
Speaker 1: They should be in this tournament. JMU has as much

1138
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 1: business in this tournament as me and you do. What

1139
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:28,280
Speaker 1: are we doing? They're twenty one and a half point

1140
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 1: underdog at Oregon. If Oregon tries, they could lose by fifty.

1141
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:34,600
Speaker 1: Their head coach when they fly back to James Madison

1142
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 1: will not even get on the plane because he's going

1143
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:40,440
Speaker 1: to UCLA. And I think this whole thing could have

1144
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:44,920
Speaker 1: been avoided. I don't blame them the situation they're in,

1145
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 1: but moving forward, they shouldn't be included. I know we're

1146
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 1: big on equality and given everyone to see at the table,

1147
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:55,440
Speaker 1: not in this world that there's a reason we you know,

1148
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 1: judge Costco and Walmart different than like the local Mini Mark.

1149
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:01,920
Speaker 1: I can buy a hot dog and beer at both.

1150
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:06,120
Speaker 1: We don't discuss them the same financially, like what are

1151
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:09,760
Speaker 1: we talking about? And I also think the Notre Dame thing.

1152
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 1: I'll get into the Notre Dame Miami probably. I'm sure

1153
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:16,640
Speaker 1: we'll be asked about as the week goes on, but

1154
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna end on this. I get they're very emotional

1155
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 1: and they think ESPN messed with them. They're a huge brand.

1156
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:27,920
Speaker 1: They're kind of like the Cowboys the Lakers. But to

1157
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:32,000
Speaker 1: decline the bowl game against BYU, I get it. If

1158
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 1: you're an athletic department, like the AD. Your university's making

1159
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 1: so much money, you're like, you don't need. But from

1160
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:44,000
Speaker 1: a football standpoint, if Marcus Freeman was like one like

1161
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 1: hand in hand, arm in arm, on board with this

1162
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:53,400
Speaker 1: decision and didn't push back anymore, I've lost a lot

1163
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 1: of respect because a huge part of the bowl week

1164
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 1: is one even if the wheremiah loves of the team

1165
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 1: don't play in the ball game, who cares? You can

1166
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:06,640
Speaker 1: play freshmen who haven't played because you don't burn your

1167
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:10,840
Speaker 1: red shirt year. You get extra practices leading up to

1168
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:13,520
Speaker 1: the bowl week, this notion I've heard. While they want

1169
01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:16,560
Speaker 1: to get ready for the portal, you can do both

1170
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:18,960
Speaker 1: at the same time, especially if it's kind of a

1171
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:23,040
Speaker 1: throwaway game just working on your younger players. There is

1172
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 1: not a coach I've ever been around that would give

1173
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 1: up practices and the opportunity to rep it on the field.

1174
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:32,560
Speaker 1: They got left out. Yeah, it happened. It fucking sucks,

1175
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 1: and we saw what happened to Florida State they've never

1176
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 1: recovered two years later. Now Notre Dame's not gonna be

1177
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 1: in that position. But to throw away especially, I would

1178
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 1: somewhat get it if you told me they were playing

1179
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 1: like San Diego State or something, which they never would.

1180
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:51,440
Speaker 1: They always play a good opponent. But to utilize that

1181
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 1: time to just you're gonna have new starters next year,

1182
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 1: and I would imagine several are already on the roster,

1183
01:02:57,200 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 1: young players that don't start now, you could just start

1184
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 1: them in that game against a program BYU that I

1185
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 1: promise you will take it really seriously. It's an incredible

1186
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:10,600
Speaker 1: time to like it's almost like a pseudo spring game.

1187
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 1: But they let their emotions that they let this situation

1188
01:03:18,560 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 1: I would say, cloud their judgment and make an awful decision.

1189
01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:24,960
Speaker 1: And it's usually why coaches after a game when they

1190
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 1: go to the press conference, like take twenty minutes, take

1191
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:29,040
Speaker 1: some deep breaths before you go talk to the press.

1192
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:33,000
Speaker 1: Help slam a beer, right, But sometimes if you're in

1193
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:36,480
Speaker 1: argument with your wife someone you work with, sometimes it helps. Hey,

1194
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:38,520
Speaker 1: let's just sleep on it. Let's just take a deep breath.

1195
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 1: And I think Notre Dame should have done that because

1196
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:45,360
Speaker 1: they decline this and they've known all week that hey,

1197
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:49,480
Speaker 1: if we do get you know, denied from the playoff,

1198
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:52,240
Speaker 1: what are we gonna do. So if you tell me

1199
01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 1: they've met, and I'm sure Bruce Felden or someone's gonna

1200
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:56,160
Speaker 1: write this story that they made the decision a couple

1201
01:03:56,200 --> 01:04:00,600
Speaker 1: of days ago, I think they're fucking idiots. And I'm

1202
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 1: not talking about being like cry babies and all that stuff. Yeah,

1203
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 1: obviously that's true, but just from an on the field

1204
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:11,160
Speaker 1: to improve at your craft, something that like you guys

1205
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:13,400
Speaker 1: haven't won a national championship, how you were close last year,

1206
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:16,360
Speaker 1: clearly weren't close enough this year, But like this is

1207
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:19,520
Speaker 1: pretty valuable, Like there are strict rules, how often you

1208
01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:22,160
Speaker 1: can practice, how often you can play, what you can

1209
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:25,560
Speaker 1: do in the spring. You're giving an incredible opportunity to

1210
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 1: get more reps, even if you're pissed off, and they

1211
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:31,920
Speaker 1: chose not to do it. And I just think it's

1212
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's kind of arrogant, pompous that they

1213
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 1: kind of live in their own little world. We all

1214
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:39,760
Speaker 1: know some of those people. It's like, are they lost

1215
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:42,640
Speaker 1: touch with the reality. And you'd be like, well, John,

1216
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:44,520
Speaker 1: other schools did it. Well, yeah, some of them don't

1217
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:47,160
Speaker 1: have coaches. Iowa State just lost their coach like two

1218
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:49,919
Speaker 1: days ago. They just hired a guy from Washington State.

1219
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:52,080
Speaker 1: Like maybe they don't even know, like what the hell's

1220
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:54,400
Speaker 1: going on. I'd argue they should do it too. Same thing,

1221
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:56,600
Speaker 1: you know, Kansas State. I don't even know what their

1222
01:04:56,640 --> 01:04:58,520
Speaker 1: record was, But if it was bull eligible, I think

1223
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:01,880
Speaker 1: I read they declined it too. I would never decline it.

1224
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 1: It never would, no matter how complicated it this, but

1225
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:08,040
Speaker 1: especially a Notre Dame situation where it's like it's not

1226
01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:09,919
Speaker 1: like they'd get a new coach. It's not like get

1227
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:12,920
Speaker 1: new players, but gather they're pissed off. It sucks. But

1228
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:15,919
Speaker 1: to decline the bull invite. Say this about Florida State

1229
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 1: when they went thirteen and zero and were denied thirteen

1230
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:21,800
Speaker 1: and out. Now I thought it was justified because their

1231
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 1: quarterback situation. They still went to the fucking Bowl. Now

1232
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:26,760
Speaker 1: they got the break speed in by George, but they

1233
01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 1: still tried Like what a joke, right, Like, what's Notre

1234
01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:33,680
Speaker 1: Dame's argument, Well, you just got toyed by spant like

1235
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:35,840
Speaker 1: you were giving the chance in Miami, you lost the game.

1236
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 1: It'd be one thing if they had won that game

1237
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:40,880
Speaker 1: and got left out. I'd argue, if Miami had been

1238
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:42,960
Speaker 1: left out and they did this, I'd be like, I

1239
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 1: kind of understand, like they actually won the game, Like

1240
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 1: what's the point of the games? Notre Dame does not

1241
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 1: have the right to do that, to make that argument.

1242
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:55,240
Speaker 1: And I think just quitting on the Bowl as a team,

1243
01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:59,320
Speaker 1: as a program, I I get it as individuals. Hell,

1244
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:03,040
Speaker 1: I get it as coaches, but I don't understand it

1245
01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 1: from a program standpoint about improving. I mean, how many

1246
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:08,160
Speaker 1: like four and five star guys they have on their

1247
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:13,240
Speaker 1: roster that just could benefit from the reps and Marcus

1248
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:16,680
Speaker 1: Freeman and Bovaqua the eighties, like, Eh, we're just we'll

1249
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 1: just quit here December seventh, and we'll see August thirty

1250
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:23,040
Speaker 1: first cool guys. Well before we get out of here,

1251
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 1: I always forget this has been I said I was

1252
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 1: gonna quick. We're an hour in. I think I'm going

1253
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 1: tomorrow Harbaugh Home Dog. We'll see. I mean, it's a

1254
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:37,960
Speaker 1: little risky because of Herbert's physical situation and his you know,

1255
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:40,200
Speaker 1: it's how bad is it? Does it look like Rogers?

1256
01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:43,440
Speaker 1: I guess we'll find out on Monday night, But I'm

1257
01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 1: taking the Chargers money line and my two I'm gonna

1258
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:51,320
Speaker 1: go anytime parlay. Listen, this has got a J. Brown

1259
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:54,720
Speaker 1: scoring a touchdown written you got Sirianni in the meetings,

1260
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:57,840
Speaker 1: pounding the table, getting more vocal. I got a J.

1261
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:01,040
Speaker 1: Brown scoring a touchdown written all over this game. And

1262
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 1: the Chargers first round running back on Maryon Hampton is back.

1263
01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 1: You know hardball likes to run the ball. Jalen Carter

1264
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:10,760
Speaker 1: is out. I like especially now Herbert with the broken hand.

1265
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:12,880
Speaker 1: You're not gonna do like quarterback sneaks by the goal line.

1266
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:15,480
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go Chargers to win. A J. Brown

1267
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:19,160
Speaker 1: anytime touchdown and Hampton anytime touchdown pays a little ten

1268
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:22,920
Speaker 1: to one. Friends of hard rock bet, have a great night. Audios.

1269
01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:26,720
Speaker 1: The volume
