Speaker 2: Welcome in episode one eight four What's right with Nick Wright?
Speaker 2: Get right into it today. We had an awesome Week
Speaker 2: five in the nfls back to back weeks with a
Speaker 2: London game, so back to back weeks of like fourteen
Speaker 2: straight hours of football that we need to get to.
Speaker 2: We will start, of course, as we always do, with
Speaker 2: what missed. Justin Jefferson, the best wide receiver in the league,
Speaker 2: headed to ir which could cause a sell off in Minnesota.
Speaker 2: You wonder if Danelle Hunter, You wonder if Marcus Davenport,
Speaker 2: You wonder if Kirk Cousins all could be available. Miami
Speaker 2: does not kneel down, blows the game just indefensible by
Speaker 2: the Miami Hurricanes. My pal Mike Ryan and the Levatard
Speaker 2: Show still reeling about that. And then there is this
Speaker 2: theory from Demanse, who's now on screen, Demanse's lava shark theory,
Speaker 2: which was this to Demonse, I didn't put this in
Speaker 2: the show. I'm just letting you know. They put it
Speaker 2: in there. Underwater volcano erupted and is releasing mutated sharks
Speaker 2: that adapted to a very hot, acidic water. And then
Speaker 2: Matt Ford tried to kind of, you know, cut the
Speaker 2: mood in the room with a gambling question. Then Demanse said,
Speaker 2: the lava sharks shark tend to agree. We also have
Speaker 2: a NASA tweet about this very thing. You've heard of, sharknado.
Speaker 2: Now get ready for shark cano. The Kavachi volcano in
Speaker 2: the Solomon Island is home to two species of sharks.
Speaker 2: It's also the most active submarine volcanoes in the Pacific.
Speaker 2: Scene here erupting underwater. So Demon's i'ven't really followed up
Speaker 2: on this story. Can you explain this to me if
Speaker 2: you don't mind?
Speaker 3: Uh, yeah, I mean, there's just a volcano in the
Speaker 3: Solomon Islands that erupt it. It erupts apparently like all
Speaker 3: the time. And they've got a couple species of starks
Speaker 3: over there. It's like Hammerhead and I don't know what
Speaker 3: the other one is. But apparently the latest eruption has
Speaker 3: caused them to be freed, and I think they're about
Speaker 3: to start branching out, taking their talents to other spots.
Speaker 2: What do you mean freed? They were trapped? Where were
Speaker 2: they trapped?
Speaker 3: That's what it seemed like. They were like kind of
Speaker 3: the volcano apparently opened something up and they're coming up
Speaker 3: out of it. This is like the exact plot to
Speaker 3: a movie that I've seen, but it's actually happening.
Speaker 2: Like I'm not okay, listens, folks. I think folks might
Speaker 2: be right now chuckling a bit, you know at Demanse.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you something. I don't know anyone that
Speaker 2: knows more about animals, like random facts about animals than Demanse.
Speaker 2: We were at, uh, this thing in New York City.
Speaker 2: I forget what it's called. It's like, it's not the
Speaker 2: Westminster Dog Show, but I think it's in conjunction with that.
Speaker 2: The American Kennel Club meet the breeds where at the
Speaker 2: Javid Center there were like a thousand different dog breeds,
Speaker 2: one or two of each breed that you could come
Speaker 2: through and meet. And Demanse went with me and his
Speaker 2: baby sister Deanna, and there was this person who had
Speaker 2: some type of Doberman.
Speaker 3: It was it was it was it was an American Doberman,
Speaker 3: is what she said. I thought it was a European Doberman.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, no, exactly right. And then and the lady
Speaker 2: was like, no, no, there's no such thing as European
Speaker 2: Doberman's or American Doberman's. They've been lying to you, Babba,
Speaker 2: And Demanse is so hard to.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: And Demansee just straight googled it and checked her, like, actually,
Speaker 2: you're wrong, that's not true. Now he didn't say that
Speaker 2: to her, he said it to me after, but he
Speaker 2: knew she was wrong. So I say all that to
Speaker 2: say this. If Demanse's saying that, you know, a few
Speaker 2: generations from now, we're gonna have some evolved sharks that
Speaker 2: can deal with super hot oceans that we're about to
Speaker 2: have to deal with because of climate change, I'd listen
Speaker 2: to them. I would adjust your scuba diving plans accordingly,
Speaker 2: all right, that's enough nonsense to start today's show. What
Speaker 2: are we starting with Demanse?
Speaker 3: We are starting with my guy Brock Perdy in the
Speaker 3: forty nine ers, they obviously steamroll Dallas, steam roll Dallas
Speaker 3: on Sunday. Of course, you're waiting for him to win
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl to give him his props. So what
Speaker 3: is it gonna take for you to start believing in party?
Speaker 3: I actually think that you said something about if he
Speaker 3: won this game in Dallas, we were gonna come back
Speaker 3: and like Bookmark or something, Bookmark something something like that
Speaker 3: took along those lines.
Speaker 2: So two separate things. Will I give brock Purty credit
Speaker 2: for what he did Sunday? Absolutely, unequivocally, yes, I will.
Speaker 2: I wanted to see him against a very good defense.
Speaker 2: And I'm not gonna do the sports media thing where
Speaker 2: I now act like, well, Dallas's defense isn't that good.
Speaker 2: That's unfair. I thought going now, going into the year,
Speaker 2: I thought Dallas had the best defense in the NFL,
Speaker 2: the number one defense. I don't think that anymore, partially
Speaker 2: because of the digs injury, but that is they obviously
Speaker 2: have a good to very good to at times great defense,
Speaker 2: and he carved them up. The other thing I said
Speaker 2: I wanted to see was him make more tight window,
Speaker 2: high level throws, and he made four of those, at
Speaker 2: least four of them. Sunday night. I asked everybody to
Speaker 2: go to you know, to keep the running log wows
Speaker 2: and yikes. I counted five wows and one yikes. So
Speaker 2: I am going to be fair in evaluating his performance
Speaker 2: on Sunday. I thought he was excellent. Okay, Now the
Speaker 2: next question you asked, or the other question you asked,
Speaker 2: is what will it take for me to believe he's
Speaker 2: the real deal? What will it take for me to
Speaker 2: believe that he is not the obvious weakest link of
Speaker 2: the team. More So, I will give him credit for Sunday.
Speaker 2: But am I now going to say I'm a full
Speaker 2: fledged rock purty Believe I'm not? That would be lying.
Speaker 2: So listen, you guys can get people can get upset
Speaker 2: with me, but they can't say I'm being dishonest. I
Speaker 2: am giving him credit for Sunday while also saying I
Speaker 2: still have my skepticism. I still have my skepticism that
Speaker 2: the other shoe is not gonna drop.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, de manse, Who's got the best defense outside
Speaker 3: of the Niners.
Speaker 2: You think, well, I think I think Cleveland has a
Speaker 2: case they might have the best defense in the NFL.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, they go if they obviously just played Dallas,
Speaker 3: which is a high level defense, and now they're gonna
Speaker 3: play Cleveland next. So so it's another chance to sponse.
Speaker 2: It's San Francisco at Cleveland. Have you looked at the
Speaker 2: lines for this week?
Speaker 3: No, but it's probably what.
Speaker 2: Do you think the line is?
Speaker 3: Uh, San Francisco at Cleveland, san Francisco minus four and
Speaker 3: a half? Maybe?
Speaker 2: All right, you nailed that. That is a great job
Speaker 2: by you. That is so before before Sunday Night football,
Speaker 2: it was San Francis before that game kicked off. So
Speaker 2: at eight pm Sunday, it was San Francisco minus two
Speaker 2: and a half and you looked at that and you
Speaker 2: were like, huh, they're only laying two and a half points. Now.
Speaker 2: They were so dominant on Sunday Night Football that by
Speaker 2: yesterday morning it was San Francisco minus four and I
Speaker 2: believe at this point it's minus four and a half,
Speaker 2: and in fact it's now moved to minus five. But
Speaker 2: it was two and a half Sunday night and now
Speaker 2: it's minus five. Here is so two notes on that.
Speaker 2: One is the NFL this year. I said this going
Speaker 2: into Bill's Jags is four for four on the hot
Speaker 2: team getting humbled week one. Or you could even argue
Speaker 2: five for five if we want to declude the Chiefs
Speaker 2: losing in week one, but that's but take that out.
Speaker 2: The team of the week Week one was the Lions
Speaker 2: for beating the Chiefs. They then go home and lose
Speaker 2: to Seattle. The team of the week for week two
Speaker 2: was the Cowboys for two thoroughly dominating victories forty to
Speaker 2: nothing in thirty to ten. They then lose to Arizona.
Speaker 2: The team of the Week Week three was Miami for
Speaker 2: scoring seventy points in a football game. They then get
Speaker 2: blown out by Buffalo. The team of the Week Week
Speaker 2: four was Buffalo for beating Miami. They then go to
Speaker 2: London and get thoroughly dominated a game that was not
Speaker 2: as close as the score indicated by Jacksonville. Who's the
Speaker 2: team of the week right now, Demanse, that'd be the Niners.
Speaker 2: Careful now, careful America. So that's a kind of a
Speaker 2: bigger point, that's not really a rock party point. But
Speaker 2: the Brown coming off a bye that the Niners, coming
Speaker 2: off the emotional high of we beat Dallas, we asserted ourselves.
Speaker 2: Now all of a suddenly they gotta go and they
Speaker 2: really wanted to beat Dallas. Now they have to go
Speaker 2: cross country one o'clock game, not nationally televised, out of conference,
Speaker 2: one of their quote less important games of the year,
Speaker 2: against a rested, excellent defense. And to Shaun Watson, who
Speaker 2: gave himself two by weeks because he wasn't feeling quite
Speaker 2: up to it last week, that could be a trap spot.
Speaker 2: And so listen the pretty stuff. People keep asking me
Speaker 2: a version of this question, would my feeling of on
Speaker 2: brock Purty be different if he were a first round pick?
Speaker 2: And the answer to that question is obviously yes, But
Speaker 2: it is not just because Okay, so you're saying he
Speaker 2: could be the exact same player and if he was
Speaker 2: the first round pick kind of, but not really, because
Speaker 2: if he were a first round pick, it would also
Speaker 2: mean he was a better collegiate player. He has a
Speaker 2: longer track record of high level success. And this player
Speaker 2: he's turned into, this guy who never makes mistakes, is
Speaker 2: simply not who he was at Iowa State. He had
Speaker 2: at Iowa state a couple of the most cartoonish mistakes
Speaker 2: you've ever seen. Did you you saw that clip going
Speaker 2: around the internet this week Demanse where he did the
Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson throw it backwards against I think TCU and
Speaker 2: the one where his paskets batted down and then he
Speaker 2: bats it forward. I mean, it's the same guy. And
Speaker 2: let me say one other thing about Rock Party that
Speaker 2: I don't think is unfair. Every time I watch last
Speaker 2: night included Jimmy Garoppolo Go be Terrible. I am more
Speaker 2: skeptical of Rock Party because while we didn't see Jimmy,
Speaker 2: hold on, you're shaking your head. But let me let
Speaker 2: me ask. Let's set this situation. Okay, let's say Demanse
Speaker 2: that I'm trying to find. All right, I'm gonna use
Speaker 2: a totally unfair analogy. I'm saying this on the front end. Okay,
Speaker 2: Let's say this podcast were one of the five most
Speaker 2: popular in the world, and there were people arguing that,
Speaker 2: you know, Demanse's the key to this, Demanse's Demanse is
Speaker 2: the reason for it. And there were other people than
Speaker 2: arguing that, No, I think it's I think it's nick.
Speaker 2: I think it's Nick, and that was a big debate,
Speaker 2: and then you left and you got replaced by literally
Speaker 2: a random person. You got replaced by Daniel the Nuggets fan,
Speaker 2: who produces the show, and the show actually started to
Speaker 2: do a little bit better. And you started your own
Speaker 2: podcast and it failed miserably, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: people were like, you know what, I think Daniel's the
Speaker 2: greatest podcast for ever. And someone's like, hold on a second.
Speaker 2: The common denominator's been Nick and demons, we can see him.
Speaker 2: He's failing terribly. And then people were like, nope, Daniel
Speaker 2: the Nuggets Fan is the greatest pod is you know
Speaker 2: what game? He might be the next Joe Rogan. And
Speaker 2: it's like and there I think they were. Now conversely,
Speaker 2: let's say that exact same thing happened, but when you
Speaker 2: went on to do your pod it also was a
Speaker 2: massive success. People then I think would start to question, like, oh,
Speaker 2: maybe they did find another diamond in the rough and Daniel.
Speaker 2: And so people can say it's unfair that my opinion
Speaker 2: of Brock Purdy is impacted by how Jimmy Garoppolo does.
Speaker 2: But when I had this same argument about Jimmy Garoppolo
Speaker 2: for years He then leaves the cocoon of Kyle Shanahan
Speaker 2: and immediately leads the NFL on interceptions and looks terrible
Speaker 2: immediately with Davante Adams and his former offensive coordinator as
Speaker 2: his head coach, it makes me a little more skeptical. Now,
Speaker 2: is that fair to purty? I don't know. It's just honest.
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna say one other thing on this.
Speaker 3: I think you started be fair.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I wanted to be fair. I'm trying to
Speaker 2: be fair and honest, and at times they seem to
Speaker 2: be in common. Yes, yeah, exactly. I want to say
Speaker 2: one other thing. I am going to lose my mind
Speaker 2: if people actually start to make the argument brock Parties
Speaker 2: the MVP of the league, I'm gonna go crazy. That's
Speaker 2: that should be a bridge too far. Like I have
Speaker 2: come a decent amount of ways I have come from.
Speaker 2: I don't think the guy's any good. Two. I'm open
Speaker 2: to the possibility you could be good. I need some
Speaker 2: of the other folks to not all of a sudden
Speaker 2: make the argument that a guy who if the Niners.
Speaker 2: This is how I know he's not the m v
Speaker 2: P of the league. Here's how I know it. If
Speaker 2: the Niners demands a disbanded. If they were like the Niners,
Speaker 2: you get the team death penalty.
Speaker 3: All your players, nobody's going.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not saying nobody's gonna pick him up, but
Speaker 2: I'm saying seven of his No, what I'm saying is
Speaker 2: seven of his teammates get drafted first. I'm simply asking
Speaker 2: that can we can we not have a guy named
Speaker 2: the most valuable player in the NFL if no one
Speaker 2: thinks he's the best or second or third or fourth
Speaker 2: best player on his own team. That's all I'm asking.
Speaker 3: And that's you there. Are you a little afraid that
Speaker 3: this take will go into your comically wrong category instead?
Speaker 3: Because it's been a few weeks and it's not right yet,
Speaker 3: and it's definitely eventually.
Speaker 2: I guess we got it's on the board. It is
Speaker 2: on the board that we go back and play this
Speaker 2: when brock Perty's career record is thirty seven and three
Speaker 2: and he's won a Super Bowl, like now the ultimate karmik.
Speaker 2: If people are rooting against me, the way this story
Speaker 2: is supposed to end is with Brock Purty outdueling Patrick
Speaker 2: Mahomes in the Super Bowl. That's That's the way it
Speaker 2: sounds like a heartache. This story is supposed to.
Speaker 3: Talk about never a doubt. That'd be hilarious, dude.
Speaker 2: If the Niners are the team that goes undefeated. If
Speaker 2: the Niners of the team that goes undefeated and then
Speaker 2: they beat the Chiefs. But so I am, I'm trying
Speaker 2: not to be a hater. I'm also trying to be honest.
Speaker 2: All right, next, all right, by the way, hold im sorry, Tomanse, Sorry,
Speaker 2: I meant to I tell the audience please don't forget.
Speaker 2: You can put your questions in the YouTube comments and
Speaker 2: we'll get to them in the sea block. I've been
Speaker 2: forgetting to tell people that, and so the So if
Speaker 2: you guys want to ask questions to me or Demanse,
Speaker 2: who looks great today, By the way, you can put
Speaker 2: those questions in the sea block, or you can put
Speaker 2: those questions in the chat. Now we'll get to them
Speaker 2: in the sea block.
Speaker 3: All right, go ahead, all right, So I'm gonna add,
Speaker 3: do you still think that the Cowboys can win the
Speaker 3: Super Bowl? Or like, are you abandoning that or how
Speaker 3: do we because I mean it's in the rundown and
Speaker 3: I just don't know if that's still your your thought process. O, yes,
Speaker 3: if it's not.
Speaker 2: So, I never picked them to win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: I picked them to get to the Super Bowl. And
Speaker 2: this is where I remind everyone that it's very early.
Speaker 2: It is very early and week five. Massive things change
Speaker 2: over the course of the year, and I think crossing
Speaker 2: the Cowboys out would be foolish. With that said, I
Speaker 2: am less confident about them right now than at any point.
Speaker 2: And I didn't even really care about the Arizona loss.
Speaker 2: And I think people thought, oh, Nick, is you know,
Speaker 2: just trying to make excuses. No, I've just watched the
Speaker 2: NFL for too long, too closely to overreact to a
Speaker 2: team that I thought was great, overlooking a crummy opponent
Speaker 2: and just getting got Last year, everybody tried to convince
Speaker 2: me that the Chiefs loss to the Colts was some
Speaker 2: something major. When I knew it wasn't, I was like, no,
Speaker 2: I've seen I saw the Bucks lose in Week four,
Speaker 2: the year they won the Super Bowl to the Chicago Bears.
Speaker 2: The Chiefs lose to the Colts. I see, you know,
Speaker 2: the the good team overlooking bad team. Bad team gets
Speaker 2: off to a good start, ball starts rolling downhill. We
Speaker 2: see that all the time. In this league, So I
Speaker 2: didn't care so much about that loss. And had they
Speaker 2: played a good game against the Niners but lost, even
Speaker 2: though they would be behind the eight ball from a
Speaker 2: seating perspective and a record perspective, I could be like,
Speaker 2: all right, you know what I mean, you can not
Speaker 2: that big of a deal the Niners that I've watched,
Speaker 2: obviously every Cowboys game this year, the gap that we
Speaker 2: saw demonse between the Cowboys and the Jets in that
Speaker 2: Week two game looked like the gap that we saw
Speaker 2: between the Niners and the Cowboys. That's horrifying. And it
Speaker 2: wasn't like, oh, they muffed a punt like I'll go
Speaker 2: back to that Chiefs Colts game, that Chiefs Colts game
Speaker 2: from Week three last year. The Chiefs muff upon they
Speaker 2: then have another fumble, They end the game on a
Speaker 2: sack and there's a roughing the passer call. The Colts
Speaker 2: hit up not a quite hail Mary, but kind of
Speaker 2: a hail Mary. They go for the winning said. It
Speaker 2: was a lot of like weird stuff that happened. The
Speaker 2: Niners just bullied the damn Cowboys, and Dak looked totally
Speaker 2: out of sorts. McCarthy did so many vintage bad McCarthy
Speaker 2: things that you're worried he's going to do come the postseason,
Speaker 2: and Tony Pollard could get nothing going. There was no
Speaker 2: phase of the game where the Cowboys looked like they
Speaker 2: were in the Niners league. Now, I go back to
Speaker 2: long season and things can evolve as the year goes on.
Speaker 2: And I will also be fair in this regard. Had
Speaker 2: the Cowboys won, everyone would be saying, well, good for them,
Speaker 2: but prove you can do it in the playoffs, because
Speaker 2: they've lost the Niners in the playoffs back to back years.
Speaker 2: But it is concerning that the Niners, that Dak has
Speaker 2: not played well against this version of the Niners. Ever,
Speaker 2: that the Niners mollywopped them the way they did, pardon me,
Speaker 2: all of that is greatly concerning. I also will say this,
Speaker 2: I don't think the NFC is a two team race.
Speaker 2: I think it's a five team race. I think the
Speaker 2: Niners and Eagles have earned the benefit of the doubt
Speaker 2: to be considered the cream of the crop. They were
Speaker 2: both excellent last year, they're both undefeated this year. But
Speaker 2: I think Detroit and Seattle are also viable contenders. And
Speaker 2: then there's Dallas, right now this moment that five team race,
Speaker 2: Dallas is in last place, not just by record, but
Speaker 2: by eye test. Dallas doesn't. So all the other teams
Speaker 2: like Philly doesn't necessarily have a marquee win, but they're undefeated.
Speaker 2: The Niners have a marquee win over Dallas. Seattle's got
Speaker 2: a marque win over Detroit. Detroit's got a marque win
Speaker 2: over Kansas City. Dallas's three wins have come against the
Speaker 2: three worst offenses in football, Daniel Jones, Zach Wilson, and
Speaker 2: Mac Jones. And so there are real concerns for the
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys right now. I'm not writing them off, but
Speaker 2: through five weeks, it's wildly disappointing.
Speaker 4: Next.
Speaker 3: All right, so last week you said that the Bengals
Speaker 3: were cooked. That was one of your takes that you
Speaker 3: planted your flag on. Actually, the offenses showing signs of life.
Speaker 3: I warned you about this. Actually, well, the rest of
Speaker 3: the AFC North and shambles. Are you ready to be
Speaker 3: back in on Sin Seattle? I don't know if everything's
Speaker 3: in shambles over there, but the Chancer, Well.
Speaker 2: The tough game for your Ravens, let's be honest, tough game. Yeah,
Speaker 2: tough game, but no business losing that game. And of
Speaker 2: course when I abandon the Steelers as after picking them
Speaker 2: each week, they win as five point dogs.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: No, I think the Bengals are still cooked, and here's
Speaker 2: why the Ravens are going to bounce back and go
Speaker 2: beat Tennessee. I believe Cincinnati is going to lose at
Speaker 2: home this week to Seattle. A Seattle team that had
Speaker 2: been dealing with injuries is getting guys back now, has
Speaker 2: is coming off a bye, has two awesome corners in
Speaker 2: Weatherspoon and Wrek Woolen. Higgins is dinged up with the Ribs,
Speaker 2: so they'll be I think that if any team is
Speaker 2: set up to be able to handle Jamar Chase, it's
Speaker 2: a team with two number one corners. You can put
Speaker 2: one on him and still double him. And so all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, I think after Sunday Cincinnati is gonna
Speaker 2: be two and four, with their next two games being
Speaker 2: the Niners in the Bills. So no, I think the
Speaker 2: and I where I will give Cincinnati credit is Joe
Speaker 2: did look better this week and the numbers were far better,
Speaker 2: but he's still it's he can't because of that calf.
Speaker 2: He's not throwing the ball well down the field. He
Speaker 2: had the one bomb to chase, but aside front he
Speaker 2: was one for four of balls traveling more than fifteen
Speaker 2: yards through the air. He doesn't quite look right, So no,
Speaker 2: I don't. Cincinnati has so they're one in I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: two and three, so they have twelve games remaining. Here
Speaker 2: are some of those games. Home for Seattle at the Niners,
Speaker 2: home for the Bills at the Ravens, two against Pittsburgh
Speaker 2: home one road at the Chiefs, and in the final
Speaker 2: week of the year home for the Browns. And the
Speaker 2: Browns always beat them. Their only quote easy unquote games
Speaker 2: left are the Texans, who are frisky, the Colts, and
Speaker 2: the Vikings. So let's say they win all three of
Speaker 2: those easy games, and that's five wins. You gotta find
Speaker 2: another five wins, probably, I think that's tough, all right.
Speaker 3: Next, all right, the Patriots have been blown out seventy
Speaker 3: two to three in the last couple of games. Mac
Speaker 3: Jones has gotten benched in back to back games as well.
Speaker 3: Do you think the Patriots are the New Jets of
Speaker 3: the NFL?
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know the New Jets, but I do
Speaker 2: think they have the least talented roster. These talented offense
Speaker 2: in the league by far, they're so boring, They're poorly coached.
Speaker 2: There's it has been an institutional failure by Belichick on
Speaker 2: talent acquisition and evaluation. And mac Jones is terrible. And
Speaker 2: I was the I It is not the same as
Speaker 2: the Purty thing, I promise you. But I had to
Speaker 2: listen mac Jones's rookie year to people telling me, Nick,
Speaker 2: you won't give him credit? What more do you want
Speaker 2: him to do? Look at his numbers versus Trevor Lawrence's
Speaker 2: why won't you acknowledge you were wrong about him? And
Speaker 2: I said, no, I will not. Now, obviously Purty is
Speaker 2: better than Mac. I'm not denying that, But what I
Speaker 2: will say is this, Honestly, if mac Jones were the
Speaker 2: quarterback of the Niners, I think they're five and zero.
Speaker 2: I don't think their records different, do you? I don't
Speaker 2: think you do. I don't think that. I And also
Speaker 2: remember Kyle Shannan reportedly wanted to draft mac Jones when
Speaker 2: they ended up drafting Trey Lance. So I'm not I
Speaker 2: do think the Patriots would be better with Brock Perdy
Speaker 2: than mac Jones, obviously, but I don't think the Niners
Speaker 2: record would be worse with mac Jones. Now, how the
Speaker 2: how they look all the least one loss? What game
Speaker 2: could they have lost? They they've they've been blowing people out.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's gonna be hard to find the law
Speaker 2: they won forty two to ten.
Speaker 3: They lost that Ram game. They could have lost that
Speaker 3: Rams game.
Speaker 2: Maybe the RAM but did I mean, it's hard to
Speaker 2: find in that Rams game. By the way, though, Purdy
Speaker 2: was seventeen of twenty five for two hundred yards, no touchdown,
Speaker 2: Like that was maybe his worst game of the year.
Speaker 2: So I don't know. The Patriots stink is the long
Speaker 2: and short of it. And Belichick's not gonna get Shula's
Speaker 2: record in New England. That's not gonna happen.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, a little conspiracy theory here. Do you think
Speaker 3: Belichick is keeping mac Jones in on purpose to tank
Speaker 3: so he can get Caleb Williams and like strategically taking
Speaker 3: him out as if he's a little pissed off, you know,
Speaker 3: to make it seem a little bit more believable.
Speaker 2: Here is the thing that is interesting about that. I
Speaker 2: don't think that's the case, because if they were to
Speaker 2: get the number one pick. I don't think Kraft would
Speaker 2: let Belichick stay on as coach so he'd be getting
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams for the next team or for the next coach.
Speaker 2: Pardon me, but I am now to the point with
Speaker 2: some of these teams that thought they were playoff contenders
Speaker 2: this year in the AFC that I am now rooting
Speaker 2: for them to win games because I don't want them
Speaker 2: to be able to get Caleb. Like last night, I
Speaker 2: was watching Raiders Packers, and traditionally, if you're a Chiefs
Speaker 2: fan and you have a team in your division playing
Speaker 2: a team in the NFC, you're rooting for the NFC team,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, to make your path to
Speaker 2: a divisional title easier. I was rooting like crazy for
Speaker 2: the Raiders last night because I need them to stack
Speaker 2: a few wins. I am now legit worried that the
Speaker 2: Broncos are getting up with Caleb Williams. For real, They're
Speaker 2: so bad and so like the Chiefs play the Broncos
Speaker 2: twice in the next sixteen or in the next twenty days,
Speaker 2: I am I am or less than that. What in
Speaker 2: the next three weeks? I am upset that the Chiefs
Speaker 2: don't have a late late season game against Denver when
Speaker 2: the Chiefs have everything locked up that they can just
Speaker 2: throw it to make sure Denver doesn't get Caleb Williams.
Speaker 2: Because I'm looking at Denver's schedule the rest of the
Speaker 2: way and I'm trying to so like, I really need
Speaker 2: the Packers to keep helping out the AFC West by
Speaker 2: losing to these AFC West teams. Because Denver goes at
Speaker 2: KC home for the Packers, home for KC, Like, I
Speaker 2: need Denver to win that Packers game. They have a
Speaker 2: game against the Vikings. I need them to win because
Speaker 2: they don't have a lot of wins left on the schedule.
Speaker 2: New England. They have the Jets again. Belichick always beats
Speaker 2: the Jets. They're at the Raiders this week, the Raiders
Speaker 2: on a short week. Maybe they can win that. They
Speaker 2: have the Commanders and Colts at home or no, the
Speaker 2: Colts games in Germany or something. Every every game. They're
Speaker 2: so pathetic, man, And if they end up with Caleb Williams,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be so upset. I am just dead set
Speaker 2: on the Panthers continuing to be awful because that pick
Speaker 2: goes to Chicago and then Caleb's in the NFC. A
Speaker 2: sneaky team that's still viable for the number one pick
Speaker 2: is the Cardinals. Like they've been pardon me, in a
Speaker 2: lot of these games, but their only win is against
Speaker 2: Dallas and they are the Cardinals. Next four is at
Speaker 2: the Rams, at the Seahawks home for the Ravens at
Speaker 2: the Browns. So the Cardinals all of a sudden could
Speaker 2: be one to eight and right there in the Caleb
Speaker 2: Williams pole position, as was the plan. But I do
Speaker 2: not need and the NFL doesn't need Caleb in the
Speaker 2: AFC because if we're by the way, this quarterback class,
Speaker 2: Bryce looks like the worst of them. Who could have
Speaker 2: seen that coming? Guys, your sister's height and crowd looks awesome,
Speaker 2: and is shroud looks awesome and he's in the afcree
Speaker 2: and he looks great.

Speaker 2: All right, welcome back in What's Right with the Right
Speaker 2: Episode one eighty four. Don't forget to put your questions
Speaker 2: in the chat. We'll get to them shortly. Demon's what
Speaker 2: are we doing now before we play?
Speaker 3: Right in? On Thursday's pod? You were last Thursday's pod.
Speaker 3: You channeled your intern Nixtra Damis and called the Jags
Speaker 3: upset over the Bills. What was the bigger win for you?
Speaker 3: The Bills blowing it in front of the whole world
Speaker 3: or Trevor locking up the title for best international player
Speaker 3: in NFL history?
Speaker 2: Well, the Prince that was promised? What is the best
Speaker 2: international player in history? That's not even debatable. But by
Speaker 2: the way, did you see what? Before I even answer
Speaker 2: this question, did you see what Ben Solak, who I
Speaker 2: like a lot, great podcaster, great writer for The Ringer,
Speaker 2: what he wrote about Brock Purty, No, I'm gonna read
Speaker 2: it to you. Good things, Okay.
Speaker 3: See.
Speaker 2: Well, so here's the thing, because he was talking about
Speaker 2: the fact that the Niners are now the fifth team
Speaker 2: in the last twenty years to score thirty plus in
Speaker 2: every in each of their first five games of the year,
Speaker 2: and the other four teams quarterbacked by Pate and Manning
Speaker 2: and Tom Brady, and all four of those teams, by
Speaker 2: the way, made the Super Bowl. They all lost in
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. By the way, this is what he wrote.
Speaker 2: The very fact that Peyton, Manning and Tom Brady before
Speaker 2: him failed, meaning lost Super Bowl, makes me feel all
Speaker 2: the more certain that Purdy is the chosen one, the
Speaker 2: boy who lived, Chris SATs Hot Rock, the Prince that
Speaker 2: was promised. Oh that about Brock Perdy, Ben Solak, you're unnoticed.
Speaker 2: Somebody send this to Ben him. If you go, if
Speaker 2: you type in Trevor Lawrence Football Reference and you click there.
Speaker 2: When you go there, you know what it says, right
Speaker 2: next to his glowing, beautiful blonde locks and the name
Speaker 2: William Trevor Lawrence. It then says, in parentheses, the Prince
Speaker 2: who was promised on his official Pro Football reference page
Speaker 2: to call brock Purty that Benjamin is an outrage and
Speaker 2: it will not stand. Now to your question, we saw
Speaker 2: that Jags wind coming, see that coming from a mile away,
Speaker 2: and everybody thinks I'm some massive hater on the Buffalo bills,
Speaker 2: when all I am is a truth teller that you
Speaker 2: can set your watch to it. That as when things
Speaker 2: are going great, they are going to all of a
Speaker 2: sudden spit the bit and people have the audacity to
Speaker 2: blame it on the jet lag. Now I said, I
Speaker 2: did think Jacksonville was gonna have an edge in that category,
Speaker 2: waiting to say, what.
Speaker 3: Do you mean, what do you mean? They gave that
Speaker 3: they they blamed it on the trap. Isn't the travel
Speaker 3: the main thing You're always saying it's like a big factory.
Speaker 2: It is a big factor, of course, and grown up teams,
Speaker 2: teams that have a level of consistency and emotional maturity,
Speaker 2: they either understand how to deal with it or they
Speaker 2: don't fly to London on Friday. Why did you do that?
Speaker 2: Why did you fly there on Friday for a Sunday
Speaker 2: morning game. Now here's the other thing that the conversation
Speaker 2: no one wants to have last sixteen games demonse playoffs
Speaker 2: and included if you're a quarterback wins person. Trevor's record
Speaker 2: the last sixteen eleven and five. Leave demonse on the screen,
Speaker 2: please Josh's record eleven and five. And by the way,
Speaker 2: Trevor in the last sixteen has had to play Kansas
Speaker 2: City three times, zero to three against the Chiefs, eleven
Speaker 2: and two against everyone else. That's true. Last sixteen games.
Speaker 2: Trevor completing sixty eight percent of his passes, Josh sixty
Speaker 2: five percent last sixteen games, so since November first to
Speaker 2: right now Trevor two hundred and fifty yards per game passing,
Speaker 2: Josh two hundred and fifty five yards per game passing
Speaker 2: check mark Josh barely last sixteen games. Trevor twenty five
Speaker 2: touchdowns to nine interceptions, a nearly three to one touchdown
Speaker 2: interception ratio. Josh thirty touchdowns to sixteen interceptions are worse
Speaker 2: than two to one touchdown interception ratio. Last sixteen games.
Speaker 2: Trevor a ninety six passer rating, Josh a ninety three
Speaker 2: passer rating. We ready to have the conversation yet or no?
Speaker 2: Everybody let me know when we can listen. Perties has
Speaker 2: got everybody beat over the last twelve games. Whatever, his
Speaker 2: career is eleven games. If we tell me when we're
Speaker 2: ready to have the conversation about who is actually because
Speaker 2: his anyone gonna argue, Oh, Trevor's got more weapons. No,
Speaker 2: Trevor's Calvin Ridley now for the last five games, didn't
Speaker 2: before Josh had Stefan Diggs's whole time. Stefan Diggs, by
Speaker 2: the way, who gave Trevor quite the hug at the
Speaker 2: end of the game, might have whispered in a zer
Speaker 2: get me out of here, bro, come on, bring me
Speaker 2: down to that warm weather. I don't know. All I'm
Speaker 2: saying is now, what do I think this week? I
Speaker 2: think Josh will look phenomenal this week and everyone will
Speaker 2: once again. Here's the thing about the Bills, the September champs.
Speaker 2: They're a half game up on the Jets.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 2: A half game up on the Jets. The Jets are
Speaker 2: two and three, having beaten the Bills. The Bills are
Speaker 2: three and two. The Bills, the team everyone said, oh
Speaker 2: Nick you're afraid of right now, are in seventh place
Speaker 2: in the AFC. Seventh Now when they're rolling, they look unbelievable,
Speaker 2: But but they are not a consistent team because they
Speaker 2: do not have a consistent quarterback. He's great when he's great,
Speaker 2: and in this London game, twice Diggs was wide open
Speaker 2: deep down the field. The first time Josh underthrew him
Speaker 2: and they connected, but they ended up getting zero points
Speaker 2: on what would have been a touchdown. The zero points
Speaker 2: on that drive, and the second time it got picked off.
Speaker 2: Both times he was open and he missed him. And
Speaker 2: while Josh's numbers for the game look good, the Bills
Speaker 2: had seven points with four and a half minutes left
Speaker 2: in this football game. Those are just the facts, ladies
Speaker 2: and gentlemen. We can and I are the you know,
Speaker 2: we can move on now. But I expect the Bills
Speaker 2: to be awesome this week. I do. But one other
Speaker 2: thing for the Bills, in all seriousness, the Milano injuries brutal.
Speaker 2: They've now lost Trey White and Matt Malone for the season.
Speaker 2: They also lost a critical d tackle, maybe not for
Speaker 2: the season, but for at least a month or so.
Speaker 2: The injuries are piling up for Buffalo, which sucks, but
Speaker 2: it's has not been a great opening quarter of the
Speaker 2: season for them. All right, next, all right, ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 2: it's time for writ ends. We're gonna we haven't done
Speaker 2: this in a while. Uh you right in the answer,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna read the question. We're gonna put the put
Speaker 2: the answer on the paper if you guys don't know
Speaker 2: what except I'm not actually writing because I didn't bring
Speaker 2: the whiteboard today. So that's my best. I'm just gonna
Speaker 2: say it.
Speaker 3: Monday. That football. So Packers fans were not too thrilled
Speaker 3: with Jordan Love after his three interception game, including the
Speaker 3: game seiler. The Packers ceiling with Jordan Love is blank
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 2: I mean not as high as I thought. I thought
Speaker 2: they could win the division. He's been brutal on any
Speaker 2: passes going down the field more than five yards, so
Speaker 2: I mean probably nine wins. I do though. We don't
Speaker 2: have to write in for this one, and you can demonse.
Speaker 2: You can go ahead and say what your answer is.
Speaker 2: You can show it. What did you write for your answer?
Speaker 3: I think it's like a it looks like MEO. But
Speaker 3: that looks like MEO.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's fine, don't worry about it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think it's super high. I don't think
Speaker 3: it's super low. I think it's like a mid rise
Speaker 3: of ceiling.
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, I think that's right.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: The most outrageous part of that game was the field
Speaker 2: goal Josh McDaniels kicked. And I cannot abide this anymore
Speaker 2: with these coaches. I listen, some of these things that
Speaker 2: we see from NFL coaches that people just accept would be, honestly,
Speaker 2: as if a third of the starting quarterbacks in the
Speaker 2: league just occasionally took the snap and ran backwards fifteen
Speaker 2: yards and then took a knee, and they were like, oh, well,
Speaker 2: what are you gonna do? I mean, he just forgot
Speaker 2: what his job was. Randomly, Okay, with two minutes left
Speaker 2: in this football game and the Raiders up four, Josh
Speaker 2: McDaniel had a fourth and one from the thirty five
Speaker 2: yard line. He then that is a choice. That is
Speaker 2: not a choice. Here is why that was so galling. Demonse.
Speaker 2: If the odds of picking up the fourth and one
Speaker 2: are about the same as Carlson making a fifty two
Speaker 2: yard field goal, according to the numbers people, they're both
Speaker 2: about sixty percent. I argue that's understating the Raiders' chances
Speaker 2: of picking up the fourth and one, But regardless, so
Speaker 2: kick a field goal, go for it on fourth down,
Speaker 2: your success, according to the numbers, is equal. But the
Speaker 2: result is one wins you the ficking game, and the
Speaker 2: other you're just up seven with two minutes left. So okay, Demonse,
Speaker 2: you get it. I couldn't believe it. You have two choices,
Speaker 2: your odds of succeeding are identical. One wins you the game.
Speaker 2: The other might win you the game, might not. And
Speaker 2: he went with that one. It's so indefensible, it's so bad.
Speaker 2: It's just and I don't understand how some of these
Speaker 2: coaches are so bad at this stuff. You just you can't.
Speaker 2: If you maybe you could make the argument if they
Speaker 2: were up six, that there was a reason to do it,
Speaker 2: because then the field goal or the first down win
Speaker 2: you the game. Same thing, right, but up for making
Speaker 2: the field goal wins you nothing. It just means the
Speaker 2: Packers get the ball back down seven with two minutes left.
Speaker 2: Why the first down you're taking knees unless you're Mario
Speaker 2: Crystal next.
Speaker 3: All right, So Kelsey went down with a non contact
Speaker 3: injury early in the game, looked like he could be
Speaker 3: done for a really long time, but he came back
Speaker 3: and scored a touchdown. Your honest reaction to the Kelsey injury.
Speaker 2: Honestly, and I can prove it to you. I Nope.
Speaker 2: My honest reaction was I bet the Chief's huge minus
Speaker 2: two and a half. Because here's why I thought. I
Speaker 2: thought Romo and Nance more Romo than Nance. And everyone
Speaker 2: watching on Twitter was just dead wrong on it. Everybody
Speaker 2: seemed to be implying or talking around that it was
Speaker 2: an achilles, but it, to me so clearly was not.
Speaker 2: First of all, he walked off the field, he walked
Speaker 2: himself to the locker room. Second of all, you saw
Speaker 2: him turn his ankle. And here is the thing people
Speaker 2: don't understand about the two different ankle sprains, high ankle sprain,
Speaker 2: which is devastating, and a regular ankle sprain. The regular
Speaker 2: ankle sprain is the one you suffer playing basketball all
Speaker 2: the time. That's when you're the outside of your foot
Speaker 2: goes under. I wish I could, can I show it.
Speaker 2: That's this this movement, like you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: when you're playing basketball and you turn your ankle, that's
Speaker 2: the Did I say that's the high ankle sprain? If
Speaker 2: I did, I saw about that's the low correct a
Speaker 2: right good, that's the regular ankle sprain. That's the one
Speaker 2: that every athlete has suffered hundreds of times. You tape
Speaker 2: it up and you move on. The devastating one, the
Speaker 2: one that Mahomes suffered, the one that can knock you
Speaker 2: out for a month, is the opposite. That's when the
Speaker 2: inside of your foot goes. I can't I'm not flexible enough.
Speaker 2: But that's where the inside of your foot goes towards
Speaker 2: the ground. And that is actual, like a lower leg injury.
Speaker 2: So you saw the type of ankle sprain. It was
Speaker 2: from Kelsey because everybody, the the sports medicine guys, the
Speaker 2: doctors that watched the games, like David Chow all those
Speaker 2: guys said inversion ankle sprain, tape it up and play.
Speaker 2: Everyone else was like, oh my god, Achilles, oh the turf,
Speaker 2: all these things. He reached for his ankle, all this nonsense.
Speaker 2: And so because of that, the Chiefs at halftime were
Speaker 2: only minus two and a half. So I wasn't worried.
Speaker 2: Maybe I should have been. Now, was I one hundred
Speaker 2: percent company Who's gonna come back in the game? No,
Speaker 2: But I I I liked the Chiefs in that spot
Speaker 2: even without Kelsey, and I thought he was gonna be fine.
Speaker 2: Because the guy suffered a hyper extended knee in the preseason.
Speaker 2: They're acting like he has him in one of the
Speaker 2: most durable tight ends in NFL history. So I wasn't
Speaker 2: that concerned. And go ahead.
Speaker 3: It looked like there's a little bug coming on a
Speaker 3: little bit.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know, he's turned his ankle. He missed
Speaker 2: one drive. He was fine, He's fine, Chiefs are fine. Next.
Speaker 2: I bet he did check the tape. I bet he
Speaker 2: did turn his ankle last year. Go ahead, nat.
Speaker 3: Heck he got the last laugh as the Jets beat
Speaker 3: the Broncos and Sean Payton. But the Jets treated a
Speaker 3: game against a one wins team as their Super Bowl
Speaker 3: and made fun of Peyton on Twitter. The more embarrassing
Speaker 3: team is, dude.
Speaker 2: Oh the Broncos. Yeah, of course, this isn't even the question.
Speaker 2: The Bronco demanse. The Broncos have given up in the
Speaker 2: last four weeks eight hundred and seventy seven yards rushing
Speaker 2: in four games. They're giving up one hundred. They're giving
Speaker 2: up two hundred and twenty yards per game on the ground.
Speaker 2: They allowed the Jets to run for one fifty in
Speaker 2: the second half. I I the the Broncos are gotta
Speaker 2: be a total teardown, total teardown.
Speaker 3: It's dude, Sean Payton, man, that's uh, that's crazy like
Speaker 3: that Hackett got fired. If I'm not mistaken, he got
Speaker 3: fired what two games before the season ended last year? Yeah,
Speaker 3: Sean Payton was on He's on record obviously saying that
Speaker 3: it was the worst coaching job ever. Well, he's on
Speaker 3: pace to do a little bit less than way worse.
Speaker 2: He's on worse. The Broncos last year started two and
Speaker 2: three and of the three losses, one was by nine points,
Speaker 2: one was by one point, one was in overtime. The
Speaker 2: Broncos this year are one and four and have gotten
Speaker 2: enrolled in a couple of these games. They're allowing thirty
Speaker 2: six point thirty two points per game. It's pathetic.
Speaker 3: All right, next, all right, you called for the touch
Speaker 3: supposed to be banned before everybody else. It's only gotten
Speaker 3: worse since other teams have suffered injuries trying it, and
Speaker 3: even Aaron Donald isn't able to stop it. Without the
Speaker 3: touch push, the equals record would be.
Speaker 2: Well, they'd have a loss or two. I mean, listen,
Speaker 2: it is the the fact that no one else can
Speaker 2: do it makes it actually less likely that the NFL
Speaker 2: bans it. Uh and what do you think their record
Speaker 2: would beat them? ONSEA, you can put it up. Sorry,
Speaker 2: I forgot was supposed to right? Oh no, it wouldn't
Speaker 2: be the fact that they're just unstoppable on when it's
Speaker 2: third or fourth, third and one or fourth and one.
Speaker 2: It also opens up the play calling entirely. I don't
Speaker 2: want to I find the play to be.
Speaker 3: It sounds like you're jumping back on it a little bit, though,
Speaker 3: like you sound a little defeated, and you sound like
Speaker 3: it's like it's a thing.
Speaker 2: I'd hear that. But I do think again, I always
Speaker 2: just try to be fair. I do think the fact
Speaker 2: that other teams don't execute it well and they're not
Speaker 2: they're not successful with it is a mark in the
Speaker 2: Eagles favor that it's not this unstoppable play. We have
Speaker 2: just made it unstoppable. My argument against against well, no,
Speaker 2: it doesn't screw my argument, but I think it. I
Speaker 2: think it makes the Eagles argument stronger. My argument against
Speaker 2: it is it's just terrible, it's just ugly. It's just
Speaker 2: I Also, my other argument against it is I think
Speaker 2: they're gonna get somebody Hurt. If I were jailing Hurts,
Speaker 2: I'd be like, all right, guys, can we like just
Speaker 2: save this? Can we run normal offense? We know we
Speaker 2: have this thing. Can we maybe not do it in
Speaker 2: the first quarter of a against the Rams. Can we
Speaker 2: like try to save it for like late in the
Speaker 2: year or the playoffs? Because and I understand people are like, oh,
Speaker 2: you can squat six hundred pounds. I get it. But
Speaker 2: the their center is a Hall of Famer Jason Kelsey.
Speaker 2: He was considered he's old, he was considering retirement, and
Speaker 2: it just feels like you're you're kind of flirting with
Speaker 2: a lot of danger here. Now, I will say one
Speaker 2: other thing about this play. Their left guard is false
Speaker 2: starting every time every time he's firing off before, and
Speaker 2: that if they are gonna have this play that's so unstoppable,
Speaker 2: the reps need to make sure that they're not getting
Speaker 2: an even further edge on it. But I just if
Speaker 2: I were jailing Hurts, I would be I don't know
Speaker 2: which is not embarrassed, but embarrassed is not I joked about.
Speaker 2: But that's the that's well, that's the thing. It it does.
Speaker 2: There's a level of Now they did just pay him
Speaker 2: so it's not like the you know, he has that
Speaker 2: part of risk, but it would be preserve me a
Speaker 2: little bit. We know we're not gonna all of a
Speaker 2: sudden get bad at this.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: Wild's had a great take on this, a great take
Speaker 2: which was that in a game the Eagles are blowing
Speaker 2: someone out, they should do it a couple of times
Speaker 2: and intentionally fail. So the NFL doesn't ban it, that
Speaker 2: they should make it appear like that. They should make
Speaker 2: it appear like it can be stopped.
Speaker 3: All right, next, uh So, Mike Miami's Miami has statistically
Speaker 3: been the best offense to start the season ever, to
Speaker 3: start a season ever, as we know. When asked about it,
Speaker 3: Mike McDaniel said, our whole goal of this entire offseason
Speaker 3: was statistically statistical output through five games. You would describe
Speaker 3: Mike McDaniel as, I think he's funny.
Speaker 2: I think he's quirky. I like him. I think he's cool.
Speaker 2: I saw him on with my buddy Ryan Clark on
Speaker 2: the pivot. Have you seen the watch he wears on
Speaker 2: the sideline. It's a brightling that probably cost not trying
Speaker 2: to pocket watch him, but I think it probably costs
Speaker 2: at least twenty five and maybe fifty grand. I think
Speaker 2: it's a solid gold. It's a statement piece. And Ryan
Speaker 2: Clark asked him about it, and he was like, oh,
Speaker 2: there's actually a great story here. He said, when I
Speaker 2: got the Dolphins job, in the first meeting, I told
Speaker 2: the guys, I'm going to go out today and do
Speaker 2: something incredibly reckless. And he went out and bought the
Speaker 2: most expensive watch he could find, and then he came
Speaker 2: back and he showed the team. He's like, all right, guys,
Speaker 2: there's a chance in a year, I look like a
Speaker 2: total idiot for this because I fail and I'm fired
Speaker 2: and I'm not making this type of money ever again.
Speaker 2: And I look and I and it's a day in
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, I bought something that is irresponsible.
Speaker 2: He's like, or we succeed and this doesn't you know
Speaker 2: what I mean? Is doesn't matter. And I just thought,
Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of really cool kind of
Speaker 2: I think it is tough for a guy. I want
Speaker 2: to make sure I'm right on this. I'm gonna check
Speaker 2: real quick. I don't think he played football at any
Speaker 2: type of high level. Okay, well, you know what. To
Speaker 2: his credit, he did play college football I didn't realize it, evidently,
Speaker 2: and this is so perfect. He was a wide receiver
Speaker 2: and guess where he's five to nine. The reason I
Speaker 2: anythinglayed football high levels because he's five to nine. But
Speaker 2: guess what demanse if you were to if I were
Speaker 2: to tell you, Okay, a guy played college football but
Speaker 2: he's actually a total nerd, where would you think he
Speaker 2: went to college where he played college football?
Speaker 3: What is the school? Maybe?
Speaker 2: Go ahead?
Speaker 3: What is it? It's definitely is it one of those
Speaker 3: army schools of the Armies?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, not an army school, but in high league Yale.
Speaker 2: He played wide receiver at Yale and which is actually
Speaker 2: funnier than Harvard. But so I think he has a
Speaker 2: really cool way of finding ways to relate to his players.
Speaker 2: I think some of his sideline interaction stuff is like
Speaker 2: when I forget who it was. He was playing, oh,
Speaker 2: justin Fields last year and Fields kept running and he
Speaker 2: ended up on the sideline front of Mike McDaniel, and
Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel just says to him, stop it, man, Honestly,
Speaker 2: you got to stop it. You gotta stop it. When
Speaker 2: he said to Tua last year. I would was watching
Speaker 2: some of your high school tape last night you were
Speaker 2: you sucked, like, what was wrong with you? You were no good?
Speaker 2: I like him, I and I think he's super sharp.
Speaker 2: I think he's super sharp and fun. I like him
Speaker 2: a lot.
Speaker 3: The players I feel like really liking respect him as well.
Speaker 2: And that and I think that is tough. I think
Speaker 2: I think there is. I think when you're super young
Speaker 2: and you didn't play at a high level, I think
Speaker 2: earning the respect of your players is tough. And I
Speaker 2: think he's done that, all right. I don't I don't
Speaker 2: even really care about the George kittle T shirt. We
Speaker 2: can move on. Take quick break. Answer your questions in
Speaker 2: the chat next What's right? All right? Welcome back. In
Speaker 2: episode one eighty four, what's right with Nick? Wright t

Speaker 2: Connor mcqueeney has a question for you to Monsey. He says,
Speaker 2: tell me an interesting fact about an animal. They's putting
Speaker 2: you on the spot. A random interesting animal factors just.
Speaker 3: Put me on the spot. Well, otters eat their babies
Speaker 3: and like they'll uh, they'll like they don't eat their
Speaker 3: own babies, but like some otters will kidnap other otters
Speaker 3: and like hold them for ransom, uh and like hide
Speaker 3: them from their moms. Yeah, dude, otters get down really dirty. Uh.
Speaker 3: They they eat there, they eat other people's young and
Speaker 3: they're like little families.
Speaker 2: Really like they eat baby seals. Do they eat baby
Speaker 2: they eat baby seals or like baby otters.
Speaker 3: They eat other baby otters like they'll no, I just.
Speaker 2: Googled it right when you said it, and they seems
Speaker 2: like they do some really bad things to seals too.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, Yeah that got dark pretty quick, all right, buddy, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Should have give it out. Ball pythons they the scales
Speaker 3: you can rub them both ways instead of.
Speaker 2: I actually knew that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's what I knew that. Like smooth all around.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, next, Cold Draper.
Speaker 3: My favorite Nick. My favorite Nick is coach consultant is Nick?
Speaker 3: My favorite Nick is coach consultant. Nick. Can we start
Speaker 3: an outreach program to help these guys that struggle with
Speaker 3: simple decision making?
Speaker 2: I listen and I'm not lying here. I've talked with
Speaker 2: Manginie about doing like one of those you know how
Speaker 2: a Keeme like charges fifty grand for people to come
Speaker 2: for a week and work on footwork worth them with
Speaker 2: kim Olajuan Yoda, You're about to be I can tell
Speaker 2: the look on your face. You're so disgusted with what
Speaker 2: I'm about to say here. But I've talked to coach
Speaker 2: Manginie about doing like an annual weekend seminar for NFL
Speaker 2: coaches where I'm like, guys, there are a few things
Speaker 2: that are just black and white that you just have
Speaker 2: to get right. I'll put them on a sheet of paper,
Speaker 2: we'll drill you on them. And I I am not that.
Speaker 2: Bill Simmons used to say this, and he's one hundred
Speaker 2: percent correct. If I owned an NFL team, one of
Speaker 2: my first steps of any head coach interview would be,
Speaker 2: all right, man, we're gonna play blackjack together for an
Speaker 2: hour for real money, and I need to see you play.
Speaker 2: I need to see if you can, in real time
Speaker 2: quickly understand the most basic dues and don'ts, because if
Speaker 2: you can, we can translate that to the some of
Speaker 2: these decisions If you can't, you can't be my head coach.
Speaker 3: All right, next, all right, Marc Is Bryant. Question, why
Speaker 3: is Nikopos to Chicago trading the number one pick? If
Speaker 3: Justin keeps ball, if Justin keeps bawling, generational type of haul?
Speaker 2: What would you trade Patrick Mahomes for nothing? And Caleb's Well, no,
Speaker 2: you wouldn't, Caleb. I'm not saying Caleb's Patrick. But what
Speaker 2: i I'm saying is that if you have the opportunity
Speaker 2: to draft here's the thing. If you have the opportunity
Speaker 2: to draft Caleb, and let's just say it's from the
Speaker 2: Panthers pick. Okay that let's say the Bears don't have
Speaker 2: a high enough pick. So let's just follow those decision trees.
Speaker 2: If Justin is mediocre, then it's an easy decision, he says.
Speaker 2: If Justin keeps bawling, if Justin keeps balling, then you
Speaker 2: should be able to get an awesome haul for Justin.
Speaker 2: Someone will give you a lot for Justin and you
Speaker 2: have your own pick, and then you draft Caleb with
Speaker 2: the Panthers pick. And even if Justin is so excellent
Speaker 2: that you're like, oh my god, he might be as
Speaker 2: good as Caleb, you start the rookie contract clock over.
Speaker 2: Like the thing with Justin is you've squandered these first
Speaker 2: three years, and so even if he ends up being awesome,
Speaker 2: you gotta pay him this offseason. And so there, if
Speaker 2: you have the number one pick, you must have Caleb Williams.
Speaker 2: You cannot trade it unless someone unless the Chiefs were
Speaker 2: off for you. Mahomes for it, and they're not going to,
Speaker 2: so you just can't.
Speaker 3: All right, next, Nico Dragonish, as you said on TV,
Speaker 3: the Chiefs are practicing while winning games. Do you think
Speaker 3: it's possible that Philly is doing the same, not showing
Speaker 3: their full force while making sure they still win.
Speaker 2: Yes, I do offensively. Defensively, I think they have some
Speaker 2: real problems on the back end. I don't think that's
Speaker 2: about practice. I think that's about personnel. But holy Jalen
Speaker 2: Carter's been unbelievable. Jalen Carter has been unbelievable. He's not
Speaker 2: been the best D tackle rookie. I mean he has been,
Speaker 2: but he's also just been one of the best D
Speaker 2: tackles and then being able to get them going to
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl and then getting Jalen Carter's just unbelievable.
Speaker 2: It's really unbelievable. All right.
Speaker 3: Next, Joe asked, did either of you catch the Wimby
Speaker 3: Chet battle. I saw the head but I did.
Speaker 2: Okay, So here's the listen. I Wimby looked pretty good.
Speaker 2: Chet looked pretty good. I give him both credit. Here's
Speaker 2: what I find interesting about the head butt. So everybody
Speaker 2: put up the highlight of Wimby taking Chet to the whole.
Speaker 2: Chet retweeted it and wrote, He's got an unstoppable head
Speaker 2: butt for show. That's what he wrote. He then edited
Speaker 2: it to add to laughing emojis and a handshake emoji
Speaker 2: on the end of it. He had the first tweet,
Speaker 2: then he softened it with the laughing emojis and the
Speaker 2: handshake emoji. I liked the first tweet more. I didn't
Speaker 2: you know what, Chet, you didn't have to do this.
Speaker 3: More neutral, trying to be more neutral.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like this is, you're gonna you gotta go
Speaker 2: up against this guy, right, you're kind too sweet these things.
Speaker 3: Take those emojis?
Speaker 2: Okay? All right?
Speaker 3: Last one, UH producer asked thoughts on NB playing for
Speaker 3: USA in the Olympics.
Speaker 2: Love it, We're in a role. Everyone listen nobody underestimate
Speaker 2: the power of Lebron. Y'all the Lebron says wait, go ahead, no.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, because she's like the Steph Curry interview where
Speaker 3: he he started to say, I've been talking to some
Speaker 3: and then I've been talking to people like they were
Speaker 3: saying that. He didn't want people to know that Lebron
Speaker 3: was really orchestrating at all. He didn't like that. I
Speaker 3: thought that was I don't know, because he started he
Speaker 3: definitely started to say, Bron, but go ahead.
Speaker 2: I mean, I just know that Lebron said I want
Speaker 2: to play. You know, Lebron's going to be going into
Speaker 2: forty years old, coming off his twenty first season in
Speaker 2: the league, and he's like, yeah, I want to play
Speaker 2: more basketball. I want to play in the Olympics and
Speaker 2: to have Durant and and embiid. I love it. I
Speaker 2: think it's so cool for a team USA. I think
Speaker 2: the whole thing's awesome. All right, this is a great show.
