To keep to Lee will stop by. 7 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: He's got five games he wants to talk about. Let 8 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: me off the top, talk about three games. Let's start 9 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 1: Sunday night. Rams beat the Bears, pretty competitive game for 10 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:49,840 Speaker 1: about three quarters. The Rams aren't terribly complicated in terms 11 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: of why they acquired Matt Stafford. They wanted to be 12 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: more explosive, more consistently explosive, and they averaged about nine 13 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,319 Speaker 1: yards of play for most of the game. They went 14 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: and acquired Deshaun Jackson, home run hitter, speed or receiver. 15 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: They drafted a speed or receiver, so they got two 16 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: guys that could run on the outside. Because Cooper Cup 17 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: and Robert Woods are over the middle guys, nine to 18 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: fifteen yard guys, they wanted some home run threats. Matt 19 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: Stafford also throws, got a stronger arm, throws a great 20 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: ball over the top. Ball, and that's exactly what you 21 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: saw last night. Big play from Sean McVeigh less. Sneed 22 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: and I have talked about this privately a couple of times. 23 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: It's nothing against Jared Goff. You know, Jared Goff put 24 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: up some pretty decent numbers. He had a terrible interception 25 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: against the Niners, I think in the second quarter, but 26 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: by and large was fine given his protection and limited 27 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: weapons with Alliance. But you know, the Rams got Stafford 28 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: for the reason you saw Sunday night. By the way, 29 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: the Bears started Andy Dalton for mostly the reasons you 30 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: also saw last night. They didn't want a rookie quarterback 31 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: SOFI Stadium. You know, they probably knew they weren't going 32 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: to be able to contain this offense. They didn't want 33 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: him going to shoot out, to get beat up, unraveled, exposed, 34 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: and so you bringing Andy Dalton, who doesn't throw the 35 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: ball down the field terribly well, but for most of 36 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: the game, for three quarters of the game, you sort 37 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: of got what you get with Andy Dalton. This was 38 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: a tough early opening game for the Bears. Whether it 39 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: was Andy Dalton or Justin Fields. My guess is Justin 40 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: Fields is going to start if not next week the 41 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: week after. I don't think Chicago feels like a playoff 42 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: team to me, I have questions. I think their front 43 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: office is pretty suspect. I like Matt Nagee. I really 44 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: do protege of Andy Reid. I think he's pretty clever. 45 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: He got Mixed Trubisky to the playoffs twice. That in 46 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: itself is quite an accomplishment. Miss Trubisky, in my opinion 47 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: and the opinion of every executive or scout I've ever known, 48 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: is a backup quarterback should have never been taken in 49 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: the first round. He was a late second, early third 50 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: round quarterback. So you know my feeling on Sunday night 51 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 1: is you kind of saw. I thought it would be 52 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: a closer football game, and for about three quarters it was. 53 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: I didn't think Dalton was the problem. I thought the 54 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: reality was Matt Stafford mostly had a lot of time 55 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: to throw and picked apart a pretty so so secondary 56 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: for the Bears. But I thought you were looking at 57 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: one of the six or seven best teams in the 58 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: league and a team that feels like seven and ten. 59 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Baker Mayfield against Patrick Mahomes. 60 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: I thought the game, I'm thirty four twenty six was 61 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: my prediction fairly close on that. You know, one of 62 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: the things about quarterbacks in this league, the great quarterbacks, 63 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: the real difference between them, a good quarterback and a 64 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: great quarterback, a competent quarterback and an exceptional quarterback, is 65 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: just this, how good are you when everybody in the 66 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: stadium knows you have to throw? Listen, Jared Goff got 67 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: to a Super Bowl when he had a running game. 68 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold was pretty good yesterday with Christian McCaffrey and 69 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: with a lead. The great quarterbacks in the NFL played 70 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: from behind, Russell Wilson, Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes. So yesterday 71 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 1: in the first half, I know, Brown fans look at Baker. 72 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: Baker played with a lead, Baker had a running game. 73 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: The defense didn't know if Baker was handing the ball 74 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: over throwing. That element of surprise makes almost every competent 75 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: quarterback in this league look really well. I also thought 76 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: that Brown's first half play calling was magnificent. I thought 77 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: Sean Payton and the Saints and Kevin Stefansky in the 78 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: first half great play calling, masters class. But in the 79 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: second half of that football game, Patrick Mahomes everybody in 80 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: the stadium knew he had to throw, and he was magnificent. 81 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield in the second half when he fell behind, 82 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: and everybody in the stadium on that last drive knew 83 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: he's got to throw. Bad judgment through a pick. I 84 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: didn't think Baker was bad yesterday. But the difference is 85 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: Mahomes won a Super Bowl and trailed in every round 86 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: of the playoffs. In fact, at one point twenty four 87 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: nothing to Deshaun Watson and trailed in the Super Bowl 88 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: before he beat the Niners. What makes Mahomes special. The 89 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: score is irrelevant. He's great when he leads, he's great 90 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: when he trails. He's great when he trails twenty four nothing. 91 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: That's really the difference between Mahomes and Lamar Jackson. Lamar's 92 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 1: wildly effective with a lead, not so much when he 93 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: trails Sam Donald, with Christian McCaffrey and a lead. Baker Mayfield, 94 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: and I'm not saying Baker right now is in the 95 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 1: same class as Donald. He has proven to be a 96 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: better quarterback. But at the end of that game, when 97 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: Kansas City and the stadium knows Baker has to throw 98 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: with two minutes left, that's when I think he's a 99 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: fairly average quarterback. That he's not a Rodgers, He's not 100 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: a Mahomes, he's not a Russell Wilson, he's not a Brady, 101 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: he's probably not a Dack. In fact, if you look 102 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: around the NFL in the tiers, remember that thing we 103 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: talked about and heard about a month ago, Mike sandoed 104 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: as the quarterback Tiers, it's my favorite quarterback piece, quarterback 105 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: ranking piece of the year. He talks to fifty executives. 106 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield was about fifteenth to eighteenth best. He was 107 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: in the Kirk Cousins range. Now I think he has 108 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 1: a livelier arm than Kirk Cousins, but I think that's 109 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: sort of what he is. Dak Prescott was rated higher. 110 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: So in the end, Patrick Mahomes did what he does 111 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: second half. Everybody knew he had to throw linebackers drop 112 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: right into coverage. He is completely utterly unaffected. That's why 113 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: he's Mahomes. All right, Let's talk Mac Jones of the 114 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: Patriots against Tua. That game pretty much looked exactly what 115 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,559 Speaker 1: I thought it would look like. One of the reasons 116 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 1: I did not bet that game. I said it's going 117 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: to be played mostly between the twenties between two of 118 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: the top five defensive coaches in the NFL. Both teams 119 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: have excellent secondaries, pretty consistent pass rushes, and with Will 120 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: Fuller out, the Dolphins didn't have a lot of over 121 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: the top weapons. To me, Mac Jones outplayed ta but 122 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: Too won the football game. Too made a tremendously poor 123 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: throw late in the game. It was intercepted by New England, 124 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: but they couldn't take advantage of it. Also first pro 125 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: game for mac Jones. I think Mac and two are 126 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: largely one of the same. They are at their best 127 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: when they don't have to get in shootouts fairly low ceilings, 128 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: when they are asked to accurately throw football, preferably on 129 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: play action to a schemed open receiver. I think they 130 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: both have some leadership skills. I think they both threw 131 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: a nice football. They throw a soft, catchable football. Neither 132 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: is over athletic, neither has a huge arm. Both are 133 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: considered pretty accurate deep ball throwers. But they're kind of 134 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: the same guy. If you watched Miami and New England play, 135 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: and Miami has had New England's number last couple of years, 136 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: if you watch them play, they're kind of the same 137 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: football team. In fact, I predicted this year that New 138 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: England would look a lot like Miami last year. The differences. 139 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: I think Miami this year has more dynamic wide receiver 140 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: options Will Fuller, Jalen Waddle. They already have DeVante Parker. 141 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: But that game looked a lot like what I think 142 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,719 Speaker 1: you thought it would look like what I thought it 143 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: would look like. Lower ceiling quarterbacks, accurate throwers to have 144 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: made the bigger mistake, but wasn't punished for it. I 145 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: thought mac Jones overall played really, really well. There was 146 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: an interesting moment when mac Jones threw his first career 147 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: touchdown pass to Nelson Agilar. Aglar chased him, drown and 148 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: tried to give it to mac Jones. He gave it 149 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,839 Speaker 1: back to Agilar, tried again to give it to mac Jones, 150 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: and he pushed it away. That reminds me a lot 151 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: of Dak Prescott in his rookie year. Do you guys 152 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: remember this when he walked by a garbage can on 153 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: the sideline and he threw a cup at it and 154 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: it didn't go in the garbage and he stopped in 155 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: his track, turned around, grabbed the cup and threw it 156 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: in the garbage with nobody really watching, and it was 157 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: this sort of conscientious move. You know they always say 158 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: how people act when nobody's looking is kind of who 159 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: they are. Now, you could say to yourself, well, Colin, 160 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: what do you mean nobody's looking. Well, the fact there's 161 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: a game going on and Dak throws a paper cup 162 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: a Gatorade cup. It misses, and he walks over and 163 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: puts it away. It said something about conscientious, his preparation, 164 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: how he wants to be viewed by people, how he 165 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: wants to be thought of, and how he acts. Not 166 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: Mac Jones taking the a ball in giving it to 167 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: somebody else, I thought sent a message. And what he's 168 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: basically saying is, listen, I'm paid to throw touchdown passes. 169 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: It's early in the game, it's insignificant. I don't matter 170 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: we do. It's not a big deal. But it does, 171 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: Like Dak in the paper cup, it does tell you 172 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: about sort of a conscientious, responsible adult view of their position. 173 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: I liked it a lot. Mac played better two to one. 174 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 1: That's why the NFL is great, folks. The best looking 175 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: team I saw a weekend was the Philadelphia Eagles, and 176 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: the worst looking team I saw was Aaron Rodgers and 177 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: the Packers' So why the NFL is unpredictable and incredible? 178 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: Speaking of Aaron Rodgers, I think something has to be 179 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: addressed about Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay's performance. Of all 180 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: the teams I saw lose, they look totally unprepared. And 181 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: I think about this, the team that was displaced, the Saints, 182 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: look completely buttoned up. So Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers 183 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: both had a dispute with management at about the same time. 184 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson got it closed, amended fixed within two weeks. 185 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: He then had what his agent, Mark Rogers told me 186 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: was the greatest three months of preparation for a season 187 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: in his career. And we know already works hard. Aaron 188 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: did not after his dispute solve it. He went to Hawaii, 189 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,719 Speaker 1: he hung out with friends, tried out for Jeopardy. It's 190 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: not saying he doesn't work out, but he acknowledged he 191 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: did a lot of things that weren't football. And there's 192 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: an old saying among basketball coaches. Players win in the 193 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: off season, teams win during the season, meaning the guys 194 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: who come most prepared. That's your classic Tom Brady, who 195 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 1: have their legs. I mean, big Ben has never worked 196 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: out terribly hard. What happens starts the season fine Week twelve, 197 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: thirteen fourteen, he loses his legs, there's fatigue. I Aaron 198 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: Rodgers and Russell Wilson had the same dilemma one guy, 199 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: and people think with Russell it's sometimes it's corny. He's 200 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: mister optimistic, mister Rara to collegiate whatever. He looked fantastic. 201 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: He looked to be totally focused. Seattle's offense was on 202 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: the road, completely slick offensive line, running game, Russell, Tyler Lockett, 203 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 1: Green Bay unprepared. This falls on Aaron. Aaron spent the 204 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: entire offseason reminding everybody that he doesn't truly need football. 205 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: He just decided at the end to come back. Well, 206 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: football doesn't need Aaron either. It's better with him. But 207 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: let's be honest, most of you watch Cleveland and Kansas City. 208 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 1: The ratings show that, So you know, I think this 209 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: has always been my issue with Aaron Rodgers. Aaron can 210 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: pretend he's the team guy. Aaron's into Aaron. Aaron's about Aaron. 211 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: And this is why Vegas only had them as a 212 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: ten win team. It's why I only have him as 213 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: a ten win team. I don't really see them as 214 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,079 Speaker 1: a super Bowl contender. And I think Russell and Aaron 215 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: are two totally different personalities, and both were illustrated right 216 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 1: up front yesterday. Russell was completely focused. Aaron was a 217 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: bad body language mess. I know y'all love Aaron, but 218 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: you know, the longer I see him, the more I 219 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: see him, it's one of these He's telling you how 220 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 1: much he really cares about anything beyond himself, and it's 221 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: not much. I said this when he complained this offseason, 222 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 1: what are you telling your teammates when you announce publicly 223 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: I'm fifty fifty, I could retire? Are you kidding me? Well? 224 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: What are you telling me as a rookie? What are 225 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: you telling me as a receiver? Sometimes you keep things 226 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: to yourself, and Aaron can really be a hypocrite. So 227 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: he announces this offseason that the loudest guy isn't the 228 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: right guy. There's wisdom in silence. Yeah, how about eating 229 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: those words? How about not acknowledging publicly I'm fifty fifty, 230 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: I was gonna quit, I'm gonna play. I said it 231 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: when he said it. I said it in the herd. 232 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: I said it on radio. I said it on TV. 233 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: Jaw droppingly bad judgment. If wisdom comes in silence, you 234 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: don't have to tell us everything you're thinking. Do not 235 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: announce your fifty fifty on a retirement. And I thought 236 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: Green Bay looked like Aaron acknowledged he was fifty fifty 237 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: on retirement. That's what they looked like. They were the 238 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: only team I saw. I mean, we know Jacksonville's bad, 239 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: they didn't look unprepared. They're bad. Green Bay look completely unprepared. 240 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: A keep to leave stopping by today, the multiple time 241 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: pro bowler got a Super Bowl. Let's bring him in, 242 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: all right, keep to Leave. So let's let's first address Cleveland, 243 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: Kansas City. And you know, sometimes fans don't think about um, 244 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: you know, adjustments and halftime adjustments. So Cleveland, with excellent 245 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: play calling, had the Chiefs totally on their heels. And 246 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: then they came out in the second half far more aggressive. 247 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: And then Cleveland got a little conservative, and then it's 248 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: a different ball game. But when I watched it, you know, 249 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: my takeaway was, that's a tough spot for Cleveland. They 250 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: don't have a winning franchise, they're lead at halftime. This 251 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: is this is the most dynamic offense. And I thought 252 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: Cleveland got a little conservative in the second half with 253 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: their play calling. What was your takeaway? I mean, I 254 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: think it's hard not to get conservative when you got 255 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: those backs, right. It's right, it's hard with that old 256 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: line in them backs. If I'm up, like like the 257 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: bronze was up, how can I not get conservative? Right? 258 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: That's that's kind of what we were doing to get 259 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: to this point. Play accents, faking it like we was 260 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: gonna get it these guys. So man, it's just hard 261 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: to beat the Chiefs. Man, they can score like this. 262 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: You had the Bots punt, know what I'm saying, and 263 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: gave them the short field. So it's just hard to 264 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs. But I think I think Cleveland played 265 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: it right.

Now, you 288 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: know the thing about Cleveland is that, as you know, 289 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 1: you can't overcome bad coaching like I do. Feel like 290 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 1: Stefanski when I watched them they're generally there. They have 291 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 1: they play with a purpose. I can tell what they're 292 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: trying to do. They're I mean they picked on the 293 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: right side of the Chiefs defensive front for most of 294 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: the game. That was and it worked, by the way. 295 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: So I mean, you know with Kansas City, is their 296 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 1: offense so good to you a keep that? Like? Is 297 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 1: it a defender? When you when you played a great 298 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 1: offense and maybe you only played two or three in 299 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: your career, does it change the way you defend? Did 300 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 1: it change your game plans? Hell? Yeah, change a game 301 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: plan because you got to have multiple game plans to 302 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: stop the multiple offenses that they can run, right, So 303 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: it takes longer to get ready for those kind of offenses. 304 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 1: And uh, you just gotta be preparing for him and 305 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 1: preparing for him. It is so hard because they can 306 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 1: attack you in so many different ways. So it's hard 307 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,360 Speaker 1: to play his own against him. It's hard to play 308 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 1: man against them because the matchup. So it's definitely going 309 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 1: to change the way you prepare for So I want 310 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 1: to pivot to Miami, New England. I actually thought Mac 311 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: Jones played really well for a rookie. Now again, unless 312 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: if you didn't watch that game. You don't you don't 313 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: know that to have made a terrible interception late, but 314 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: it didn't cost him. When I sat and watched that game, 315 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 1: and kind of my takeaway was mac Jones was the 316 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: best rookie quarterback I saw. I thought he played. I 317 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 1: gotta be honest, Brian Flores defense, they're corners, they take 318 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: away your receivers. I mean, you've got to do other things. 319 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: I thought mac Jones was surprisingly good for his first 320 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 1: NFL snaps. He definitely, he definitely was the best quarterback 321 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: on the field, and he had the game one Colin 322 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: he had one Xavier Howard pulled to fumble out. But 323 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: if he would have had that game winning drive and 324 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 1: to win with, he would have had a much better 325 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: Monday than he gonna have. But he definitely came out 326 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: and played his butt off, man, and he showed he 327 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 1: could be the starter. So Black was seeing from mac 328 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: Jones as well, what do you make of two? Would 329 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: you make? I mean, listen, it's he's obviously capable, he's accurate, 330 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: but they're just boy. I don't see a lot of 331 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 1: special I just I just see it's got to be 332 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: designed perfectly, man. I think I think. I always say 333 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 1: winning is a skill. That's what I always say, right Colin, 334 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: that winning is a skill. Some guys just in my 335 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,120 Speaker 1: own't care high. Look, they always seem to come out 336 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: with w's whether. I don't know what it is about him, 337 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 1: but he just knows how to win games, Colin. And 338 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: today he got another win. He hadn't played that good, 339 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: but he hadn't played bad enough to lose the game neither. 340 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 1: And that's gonna be one of the best defenses in 341 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 1: the league, the Patriots, they got a good defense. That 342 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: defense is gonna get better and better as the season 343 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,919 Speaker 1: go on. They got a lot of athletes, a lot 344 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: of bodies on that defense. So to it, he just 345 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: know how to win games. We know that New England 346 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,880 Speaker 1: will get Mac Jones will get better over the course 347 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 1: of the next sixteen weeks. Do you think Miami can 348 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: get better or what we saw that's pretty much what 349 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: they are. I think they'll get better. Everybody would get 350 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 1: better as as as this thing get rolling. The teams 351 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: who stay healthy, they'll get better. The teams who get 352 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,199 Speaker 1: worse should be the teams who lose guys and you 353 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: know stuff like that. So the Dolphins will definitely get 354 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: better Arizona, Tennessee. My big concern with Ryan Tannehill was 355 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: this is that his career. You know, he was kind 356 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: of flayling. And then he got Arthur Smith the offensive coordinator. 357 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 1: And you know, listen, coordinators matter. You've I mean, you're 358 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 1: you're talented enough that a coordinator isn't going to change 359 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: the trajectory of a keep to Leeds career. But for 360 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: a quarterback that's solid. If you get a McVeigh or 361 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 1: a Shanahan or maybe an Arthur Smith, it changes the 362 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: trajectory or your career. So he leaves it, he takes 363 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: he takes the Atlanta Falcon's job. Now that doesn't mean 364 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: he's gonna win immediately as a head coach, but he 365 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: was a hell of a coordinator. And when I watched 366 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 1: Tennessee today, maybe it was a lack of returning starters. 367 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 1: Maybe it was just Kyler Murray getting in a lead 368 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 1: and putting pressure on them, like what jumped out to you? Really, 369 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 1: I thought it was a zon to stop the run. 370 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: They did a good job stopping to stopping Derek Henry early. 371 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 1: He didn't have big runs too. I think like the 372 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: third quarter maybe he had too many big runs. So 373 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: I get credit to that Cardinals defense man Xavi and 374 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 1: Collins was in there Isaid Simmons was moving around everywhere. 375 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 1: Chandler Jones, J J. Whyte came and played the hell 376 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: out the run. So you really can see the change 377 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: in their defense. So oh JJ White on that D line, 378 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 1: you know you're gonna be able to stop the run. 379 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: So I think that's what the difference was. Arizona was 380 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: stopping Derek Henry and you know it made him do 381 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: other things. Do you like Kyler Murray? I love Kyler 382 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 1: Murray Man. I love Colin Murray. Eaves put on another 383 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 1: show today, this Cardinal team Special. Colin. You see, I 384 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: keep on talking about these Cardinals. They special. They got 385 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,120 Speaker 1: something going. I think they've been right there on the cusp. 386 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,199 Speaker 1: But you know, as as you as he played with 387 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: Kingsbury and just stay third year together, I think you 388 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: know they on they wait now they finally turned that 389 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 1: corner and Kyler special. There's gonna be an MVP type 390 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,360 Speaker 1: season for Kyler. I think, well they also have they 391 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: they do have some players that are like different level. 392 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 1: Kyler DeAndre, Chandler Jones, JA. Yeah, they got like five 393 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: dudes that are elite dude. So they're like Seattle their 394 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: star power Buddha Baker. They got like six dudes that 395 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: are Pro Bowl level dudes, and they're a little like Seattle. 396 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: I don't know how deep they are, but their top 397 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: six to seven players are complete ballers. I mean that 398 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 1: that line is better. Beach Beacham went down to day. 399 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: But look, Beacham go down and you got Justin Murray 400 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 1: could come in here, a guy who started games, who 401 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: played guard tackles. So I think they deep. You got 402 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 1: two running backs, you got four four receivers really aj Green, more, 403 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: Kurt and Hop of course, so I think they pretty deep. 404 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 1: So long as Kyler is in there and he could 405 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: run the show, I think they got all the rest 406 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: of the pieces. And I was nervous about their cornerbacks. 407 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: That's what I was really nervous about. How would they 408 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: cornerbacks going to play? And the cornerbacks came out, they 409 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 1: tackled good and they played good enough coverage, So I 410 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: like it. Next up Packers, Saint, so I'm gonna throw 411 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: something at you. So both Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers 412 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: were pissed at management. Russell buttoned his up in about 413 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 1: two weeks immediately pivoted to what his agent Mark Rogers 414 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 1: told me was the best offseason of his career. He said, 415 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: calling he's never worked this hard, and Russell is like Brady, 416 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 1: He's totally committed. So he had an issue with management. 417 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 1: They solved it quickly. He pivoted to mister positivity and 418 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: worked his butt off. Aaron had a problem with management. 419 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: He's still talking about it. Two days ago. He didn't 420 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: work terribly hard. He said he wanted to get away 421 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: from football. And I honestly, when I watched them today, 422 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: I didn't think Aaron played particularly well. I didn't think 423 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,360 Speaker 1: the team looked prepared. Now maybe it's but I mean 424 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: Russell and Aaron at the same time had an issue. 425 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,719 Speaker 1: One of them solve it. Let's go get in great shape, 426 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: full steam ahead. The Errand's bagging on the Packers two 427 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 1: weeks ago, he's backing on him last week and to me, 428 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 1: a key, there's something there, like you got this Game's 429 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: too hard to be worried about anything other than playing 430 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: the game exactly and building that vibe. Man if if 431 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: the vibe not really there, you ain't been here. It's 432 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: you can kind of feel the friction in the air. 433 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: It's hard to win like that, Colin, It's hard to 434 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: It's hard. That's why you see them championship teams be 435 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: the teams who the closest. They act like college teams, right, 436 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 1: so you can get they just look off a little bit. 437 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: You can tell the Packers were just off a little bit. 438 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,159 Speaker 1: It was no it's lethargic a little bit. So Saints 439 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 1: came out and they was ready to go. That the 440 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 1: Saints looked like a team who went through the whole 441 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 1: offseason together and they got great camaraderie. They playing fast, 442 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 1: they celebrating together. So that's how you win football games 443 00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: right there. Now, that's interesting, you stay celebrating together because 444 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: I thought Jamis played really well. Yes, Jamis played great, 445 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: and he and and a key. He was playing his 446 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: ass off all off season because he was trying to 447 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: win the job. So he's in the best shape of 448 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: his life. That's the best shape I've ever seen Jamis 449 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: went in his career. And I thought you talked about celebrating. 450 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: I thought the camaraderie, yeah, it was was great by 451 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: the Saints. You could see it in the side. That's 452 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: something that's Jamie's gonna bring to the team. That's that's 453 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,120 Speaker 1: a plus that come with Jamis. They know you're gonna 454 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: have great camaraderie. You gonna had it on the sideline. 455 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: So Jamis no man started in the offseason. You gotta 456 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,880 Speaker 1: win the job first. Now he trying to really win 457 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 1: the job and get that future deal and be the 458 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 1: Saints quarterback going forward. And you know what come with that. 459 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: That's ship like two hundred miles at this point. So shiit. 460 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 1: We know, we know what Jamie's playing for. He know 461 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,959 Speaker 1: what he's playing for. All right. Finally, Philadelphia Atlanta. I 462 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: said this, the NFL's crazy Buffalo and Green Bay got 463 00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: man handled and Philadelphia was brilliant. Yes, And you know 464 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: it's so funny because we know they have good tight 465 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,199 Speaker 1: ends like we do, you know, and we know and 466 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 1: we know the offensive line when healthy is strong. But 467 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,680 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you something. I thought they look crisp, 468 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,880 Speaker 1: well coached. I thought Jalen played really well. I thought 469 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 1: they're young receivers, like like they can play. Reader can play, 470 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 1: Devonte Smith can play. What was your you you love 471 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: Philadelphia to that? I love Philadelphia, man. I've been on 472 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: Philadelphia and the Cardinals. That's them the two teams. I 473 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 1: think it's gone. They're gonna surprise a lot of people 474 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 1: this year. But with that old line and Philly, if 475 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: that old line is healthy and Jalen Hursts is under center, man, 476 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to run the ball like they did, 477 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 1: and they're gonna protect him. He gonna be able to 478 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: throw the ball around. He got young guys, like you said, 479 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 1: who can make plays, DeVante Smith. They got a real 480 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: number one receiver now, So I like what Philly got going. Man, 481 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,679 Speaker 1: they got Slay on defense. As long as you got 482 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: somebody who can continue with your number one guy, Slay 483 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 1: can follow your number one guy around, slow him down. 484 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: They got a great front seven, so a great D line. 485 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,119 Speaker 1: I love. I love what they got in Philly. I 486 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 1: like I like what they got gone as long as 487 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 1: they stay healthy. You know, I'm not the coach has 488 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 1: never been a play caller before. I don't know how 489 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: good their coach is, but but I will say this 490 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 1: that generally speaking, it's hard to be a bad team 491 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: with a good offensive line. And today I thought the 492 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 1: offensive line controlled the game like like by the way, 493 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: I thought the Seahawks offensive line was better than the 494 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: Colts today. I thought the Chargers offensive line, they got 495 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: that ball with six minutes back, six minutes to go. 496 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 1: They never gave it back to Washington today. It was 497 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: a day where offensive lines won the day. The Saints 498 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: offensive line today, I keep dominated, dominant and by the way, 499 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: the Browns dominated in the first half, the old line 500 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: and the Chiefs in the second half. Yeah, but if 501 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: you think about it, kind of it's always like that. 502 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: You could say that Abody every game the team will win, 503 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: the offensive line probably set the tone and dominated that game. 504 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: So it all start up front. Man. That's one of 505 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: the little cliche sands in football. But it's true. All 506 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: the little cliches is cliches for a reason because they 507 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: got a little truth to him. Man. So it'd always 508 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: started up front. And you could say that just about 509 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: in every game. Okay, Monday Night Football Raiders Baltimore. Baltimore's 510 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: had three huge losses. So you tell me you have 511 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: three starters, Yeah, lose in a week before a game. 512 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 1: Can Baltimore overcome that? Some teams can't overcome that. That's 513 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: that's super tough. But I think if any team can, 514 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: man it's it's the teams like Baltimore. It's those teams 515 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: who own the rise. They've been there for a while. 516 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 1: They got a good group of leaders on their team, 517 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: nice vets mixed with young guys. That's kind of what 518 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: Baltimore is. So if anybody could overcome it, it'd be hard, 519 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: but a team like Baltimore, team like Pittsburgh, they'd be 520 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: able to do it. Finally, best team you saw included 521 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 1: Tampa Dallas Thursday. Best team you saw and we're doing 522 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: this before the Bears Rams. So I want to say 523 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: that best team you saw this weekend and why Well, 524 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 1: I would say Tampa, but I thought that I thought 525 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: that kind of you know, he put a little pressure 526 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: on that secondary. I thought that secondary played a little 527 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: bit better. But Dank has proven he turned in that 528 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: corner man Dak doing something for real, So that took 529 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: Tampa off. I got to ride with Arizona. I'm gonna 530 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: ride with the Cardinal that. I think their defense came out. 531 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: They stopped Derek Henry and the safeties didn't have to 532 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: really get involved in it. They kind of stopped him 533 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: with the guys up front, JJ Watt, Isaiah Simmons and uh, 534 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,239 Speaker 1: you know the young the young guy, Zamian Collins. So 535 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: I think they did a good job on defense. We 536 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: know what they got on offense. Hop came out, did 537 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: this thing like regular. Haler Murray came out, did this 538 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: thing like regular. But I think that defense stepped up. 539 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: Got a turn over the day, a couple turnovers the day. 540 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: Chandler Jones went crazy. He showed he back, He want that, 541 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: he want that check as well. So I got a 542 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: rober Arizona man. They jumped off the tape to meet. 543 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: Think about think about them, Buddha Baker, Chandler Jones, DeAndre Hopkins, 544 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: JJ Watt, Kyler Murray, AJ Green. That's like six elite 545 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: players in this league if J's healthy. That's as many 546 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: as Seattle has. And they and they and they might 547 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: have a couple in six years, they're gonna be around there. 548 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: That Isad Simmons and and and Collins, and they gotta 549 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 1: Rundale Moore. They got a couple of guys who could 550 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 1: be like that, you know, Kyler Murray. You know what 551 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 1: I'm saying. They got some young names who in six 552 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: years could be those guys. All right, to keep good 553 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 1: stuff good talking to you, I appreciate it. Colin always 554 00:31:46,120 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 1: you bet the volume
