Where Colin was right? Where Colin was wrong? 11 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: There's always plenty of both. Urban Meyer stops by Matt Hasselbeck. 12 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: We're live in Chicago, Holiday greetings. I mean it was 13 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: so Pittsburgh Steeler. I've been saying all year. I've been 14 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: saying before the year, this offense in Pittsburgh it's like 15 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: Quicksand what's Rogers doing going to this offense? And my 16 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 1: larger point and belief stands they don't have a long 17 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: term quarterback. They spend way too much money on defense. 18 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: I do think Aaron's duct tape for at least this year, 19 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: in another year, but Mike Tomlin, Aaron Rodgers, and the 20 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: Steelers deserve credit. In a weekend AFC no Mahomes Borough right, 21 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: they may pick up their first playoff. 22 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 2: Win in nine seasons. 23 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: I mean, they had almost five yards of offense, an 24 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: unbelievable run game, and it's getting better. In the last 25 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: three weeks they're averaging over six yards of play. That is, 26 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: those are big boy numbers, So it's getting better. Aaron 27 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: Rodgers said, you know, get me my guys, mvs. Adam 28 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: Feelin and you know it's typical Steeler fashion, a wide receiver, 29 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: high maintenance drama. 30 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 2: You know, you got to always deal with that. 31 00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: And despite the fact that at two hundred and third 32 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: to fifteen rush advantage, they had to hold on for 33 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: dear life. 34 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 2: It was Pittsburgh. 35 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: But I will say this about Aaron, He's just a 36 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: lot of quarterback play is just getting you out of trouble. 37 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 1: He's made the offense slicker and smarter. You know, he 38 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: just he takes what's available, not a lot of negative plays. 39 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: Right now, Aaron Rodgers leads the entire NFL in fastest release. 40 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: He's getting rid of the ball faster than any other quarterback. 41 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: He's forty two. He doesn't want to get hit and 42 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: he doesn't want that Steeler. 43 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 2: O line to get into trouble. 44 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: Because they really don't have the kind of receiving core 45 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: or consistent run game that had yesterday that can get 46 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: them out of trouble. So Aaron's like, give me the ball, 47 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: let's get it out, stay ahead of the chains. I 48 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: feel like Aaron has become like the oil the lubrication 49 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: for an offensive machine, where the gears for the last 50 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: seven years have been getting stuck, and he just comes in, 51 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: get rid of the ball, audible, into the right play 52 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: what's available, don't get greedy. 53 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 2: It's really smart. 54 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: And by the way, this is the most impressed I've 55 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,399 Speaker 1: been with Aaron Rodgers. 56 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 2: In a long time. 57 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 1: Well, what about Green Bay? Everybody wins in Green Bay. 58 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: Help Malik Willis looked great last Saturday, Aaron Rodgers, Jordan Love, 59 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: Brett Faff, everybody looks good in Green Bay. A quarterbacks, 60 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: backups come in. Malik Willis their dynamic. This offense Pittsburgh 61 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: for seven years, they can't run the ball, the old 62 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: line doesn't work. They you know, turnstyle offensive coordinator. Aaron 63 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: gets the credit for this. He gets the credit the 64 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: longer this goes on this season, last three weeks, brings 65 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: his friends in at wide receiver. It's just it works. 66 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: Jalen Warren two forty five yard runs dominate the Lions. 67 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: Lions have their own problems, but you know here's you got. 68 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson can't stay healthy. You got Joe Burrow can't 69 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: stay healthy. And Aaron's forty two, and he's like, I'm 70 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: staying healthy. I'm gonna be available for my team. So 71 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: he's just done all the little thing. It's amazing what 72 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: coaching can do, or really smart veteran quarterback play. It's 73 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: not always what they do, it's what they don't do. 74 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: They don't throw picks, they don't take bad sacks. You know, 75 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: they audible in and out of trouble and into advantages. 76 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 1: So Mike Tomlin, you know, you say what you want. 77 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: And I've had my grievances with Mike Tomlin. Here they 78 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 1: are again looking at a potential division championship. 79 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 3: Thankful of the fight and to win. And we'll keep 80 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 3: pushing because that's what you got to do this time 81 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 3: of year. Win or lose, you got to keep pushing, 82 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 3: and we will. We're coming in to Marrow to watch 83 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 3: the tape. We ain't got time for victory Monday's and 84 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 3: that's what I told the. 85 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: Team Okay, now, let's go to the team that lost 86 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: Detroit one. Coach one has really changed the direction of 87 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: two franchises in the same division. Ben Johnson used to 88 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: be at Detroit and wow, were they dynamic. The craziest 89 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: third and fourth down team in the league. Look at 90 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: him now. He left and went to Chicago, and the 91 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,119 Speaker 1: Bears are eleven and four and the best fourth quarter 92 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: team in the NFL for the record of the Cowboys 93 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: weren't interested in Ben Johnson. Congratulations, But the Bears who 94 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: have poor ownership, I mean, like literally the poorest ownership 95 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: and years of dysfunction upstairs, and you watch them. Yeah, 96 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: it's been a work in progress. But I've heard this 97 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: before from athletes, the great athletes, and Caleb Williams is 98 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: a generational talent. 99 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 2: He is special. 100 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: They want Caleb Williams wanted to be coached hard. He said, 101 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: there's nobody to watch film with me. He wanted to 102 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: be coached hard. He wanted somebody to get on him 103 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: and enter Ben Johnson. I mean, Patrick Mahomes didn't become 104 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes because Andy Reid pandered. They disagree. The volume 105 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: goes up, so and Caleb's got an ability to make 106 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: the hard look easy. Easy looks a little difficult. But 107 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: the entire Bears organization. You know, again, once you get 108 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: the coach right Vrabel in New England, Sean Payton and Denver, 109 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh with the Chargers Ben Johnson, he doesn't take long. Literally, 110 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: it takes like six to eight weeks. You build the staff, 111 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 1: you get the planning, and then slowly but surely you 112 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 1: get into week six, week nine, week twelve, week fifteen, 113 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: you look up, this is a really good team. They 114 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: do all the things that winning teams do. They win 115 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: the turnover battle, they run the football. They've been lucky 116 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: a little bit with health, mostly a very healthy team. 117 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: They don't have negative plays. So you're seeing the same 118 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: thing in New England with Rabel, Sean Payton, Jim Harbaugh. 119 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: I mean, last year the Bears just a simple thing. 120 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: Last year, do you remember this, The Bears were the 121 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: worst fourth quarter team in the league. They couldn't even 122 00:06:53,480 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: script plays appropriately. Now third best, So they start smartly, 123 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: they finish strongly, and again they've just gotten out of 124 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: the stuff that loses games. No turnovers, no negative plays. 125 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: The operation, the basic fundamentals looks organized and then of 126 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: course you have Caleb Williams, who really is a unique talent. 127 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: Here's the walkoff touchdown? 128 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 2: Are the fake Williams looking downfield? Orson downfield? Good God, Djama. 129 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: And great coaches are like great movie directors. You got 130 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: to let the star kind of do his thing, however, 131 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: with a clear identity of what the movie is and 132 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: what the game plan is. And people are going to say, well, 133 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: I mean the Bears got a little bit lucky. They 134 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: recovered the on side kick no time out. They also 135 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: had two game winning drives, and they also in overtime 136 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: stop the Packers. 137 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,239 Speaker 2: So it's not just well. 138 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: Teams block punts all the time, teams recover on sidekicks. 139 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: What do you do with the opportunities presented and well coached? 140 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: Last night New England could have lost that puppy. New 141 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: England maybe gets a big interception or a fumble recovery, Well, 142 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: what do they do with it? Well coached teams take 143 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: advantage of those little breaks that every team in the 144 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: league gets. Yep, the onside kick. Gotta be honest, that 145 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: kind of surprised me. But it's what they did with it. 146 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 1: And here's Caleb. 147 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 4: After I got the best coach in the world. Let's 148 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 4: put it. Let's put it that way. And we have 149 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 4: the best coaching staff in the world. And so you 150 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 4: put the talent with the coaches and the people that care. 151 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 4: You can strive for anything, you can reach anything, you 152 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 4: can go after any goal. And when you go out 153 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 4: there in the football field, your belief is at all 154 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 4: time high between players, between coaches, and you know you 155 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:17,959 Speaker 4: have outcomes like this. 156 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is uh. 157 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: Ryan was at the game, and the environment for anybody, 158 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: we all had different environments. One of our guys was 159 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: in a Chicago bar, one was at the game. I'm 160 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: at home. It's like you could hear neighbors streaming. Chicago 161 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: has been waiting so long, not to just win games, 162 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,599 Speaker 1: but to have a team like this that's offensively electric, 163 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: that's offensively dynamic. That's just not what Chicago does. Like 164 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: in La every great Lakers team, they're always fun and 165 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 1: offensive minded and they've got show time. Chicago's always won 166 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: one way, win one way. They went with defense, they 167 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: went with toughness. To have it a electric offense is 168 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: really unique and the city is feeling it this morning. 169 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 3: J Mack. 170 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: I know there's some quarterbacks banged up that won't make 171 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 1: the playoffs. But we have a lot of young quarterbacks 172 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: your Bo Nicks, you'r Drake May, You're Caleb that are 173 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: gonna be in CJ. Stroud. Then we have older quarterbacks 174 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: that Herbert that's had to overcome an offensive line, Jordan 175 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: Love uh when if they get in, he's had to 176 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: overcome an injury. 177 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 2: And you know they lose. 178 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,959 Speaker 1: Christian Watson and some of their star defensive players. 179 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 2: So it's. 180 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: I kind of feel like it's gonna be an interesting mix. 181 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: No Mahomes, no Borough, Proino, Lamar, but it'll be an 182 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 1: interesting mix of young and dynamic and old and Aaron Rodgers. 183 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 2: We're gonna have a wild January. 184 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 5: I'm one hundred percent with you. It feels like a 185 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 5: new era, Colin. All these young quarterbacks ushered in out 186 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 5: with the old. Sorry guys, Lamar, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow. 187 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 2: I don't know when. 188 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 5: They're gonna get back to the playoffs. I mean, you 189 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 5: talked about it last week. The Chiefs had a major rebuild. 190 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 5: Colin Ravens. You watched it. Roster last Nay, they don't 191 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 5: have anybody at all. The roster's terrible. Lamar's lost a step. 192 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 5: It feels like the new era of quarterbacks is here. 193 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,599 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd weekdays 194 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 2: and noon eastern non am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio 195 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 2: FS one and the iHeartRadio app Pauly Fools Go Here 196 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 2: with Tony Foosco.

J McK and I have both 217 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: had good weekends. Matt Hasselbeck's around the corner. So yeah, 218 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: all weekend long, people are complaining about the college football playoffs. 219 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: I can't believe this team got in and that team 220 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: got in. Go to March Madness. You keep telling me 221 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: that's the greatest sporting event in the world. Like twenty 222 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: five teams that get into that thing unwatchable? Bottom line, 223 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: Do you get the top sixteen college basketball teams in? 224 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 1: Do you get the top sixteen in the rest of 225 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: It's filler? That's how I feel about this thing. Do 226 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: you get the top eight teams in? Hey got four 227 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: teams that you know. We know. Texas probably better than 228 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 1: James Madison's I think we could agree Notre Dames better 229 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: than two lane, but they had their opportunity. 230 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 2: Notre Dame played Texas and Miami couldn't win either. I mean, 231 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 2: the regular season's got. 232 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: To mean something, so I think the college football playoff 233 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: I can't wait to watch the next seven games. Here 234 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: we go, Colin right, Colin wrong? 235 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 2: Where Colin was right? 236 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: New England was my surprise playoff pick. Fourth year in 237 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: a row. My surprise playoff team has made it twelve 238 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,719 Speaker 1: and three tripled their win total. Could still land the 239 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: number one seed. You know, it's amazing what they've done 240 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 1: offensively from thirty first to six. 241 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 2: The Kyle Williams great play. 242 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: We talked about him as he was a tremendously gifted 243 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: college player, Stefan Diggs, Hunter, Henry. It's a big playoffense 244 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: and it last year there was none of that juice. 245 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:37,839 Speaker 2: So we got that one right. 246 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: Where Colin was wrong. Mike Tomlin once again secure as 247 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: a winning season. They could actually win eleven games in Pittsburgh. Now, 248 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: the game got a little squirrely in the end, but 249 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: make no doubt about it. Pittsburgh was absolutely the better team, 250 00:13:53,840 --> 00:14:00,719 Speaker 1: holding Detroit to fifteen rushing yards. And I'll listen, are 251 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: they good enough to win a playoff game? I don't know, 252 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: but they ran the ball. They haven't done that consistently 253 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 1: in years. Aaron has been tremendous. He gets him out 254 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: of trouble. No negative plays. 255 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 2: In the end. I was wrong where Colin was right. 256 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: Slinging Sammy d leads his division, Seattle leads the NFL 257 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: in point differential. What's interesting with sam He's completing sixty 258 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: seven percent of his throats. 259 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 2: That's a career high. 260 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: But he's also near the top in yards per attempt, 261 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: so it's no dinking dunk. 262 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 2: He's throwing the ball down the field. 263 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: Twenty four total touchdowns the last two years. He has 264 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: more passing touchdowns than Josh Allen, so first quarterback ever, 265 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: back to back seasons, two different teams to win twelve games. 266 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 2: Right on, Sammy, where Colin was wrong. 267 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: I love Trevor Lawrence for years, but all the turnovers 268 00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 1: I surrendered. They were five and four after losing the 269 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: the Texans, I'm like, I'm done, and then they got 270 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: in a heater. Liam Cohen deserves a ton of credit. 271 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: I didn't even have him in my hurt hierarchy until 272 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: last week. But they've just got a lot of good players, 273 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's like Parker Washington, where'd 274 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: he come from? They could end up thirteen and four. 275 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence has kind of gotten out of being lured 276 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: into bad interceptions. They deserve all the credit in the world. 277 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: Just the minute I gave up on Trevor Lawrence. 278 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 2: He pivoted where Colin was right New. 279 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: York Jet Now, excuse me, New York Giant fans, Colin, 280 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: You're crazy thinking we should draft Fernando Mendoza. Yeah, Jackson 281 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: Dart had one completion in the first half. His coaching 282 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: staff was terrified to let him throw the ball. I 283 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: got nothing against Jackson Dark, but if you notice the 284 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: more we see of him last couple of starts, it's. 285 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 2: Got a sixty eight passer rating. Well, they don't have this, 286 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 2: they don't have that. Boy. 287 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I think Jackson Dart been a pleasant surprise 288 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: like him, but the fact that you wouldn't consider Mendoza 289 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: with the number one pick, wouldn't consider it. You're the 290 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: New York Giants, You've been unwatchable for a decade. You 291 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: got to consider everything. 292 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 2: Where Colin was wrong. 293 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: The Carolina Panthers start of the season one in three, 294 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: I'm like, come on, this is a bush league operation. 295 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: But Dan Morgan, former player, GM nice draft, Dave Kanalis 296 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: steadied the ship, you know. I mean Bryce Young fifth 297 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: year extension, he moves, he's got a star receiver, one 298 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: hundred and two passer rating, couple of tunnies, no picks. 299 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: So again, do we wish he was bigger and had 300 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: a bigger arm. Probably, But when I watched Carolina, I'm like, 301 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: I just watched Bryce Young outplay Baker Mayfield. 302 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 2: That's impressive. 303 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: Where Colin was right, Kaylin de Boor, don't listen to 304 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: the trolls. He is a top five head coach to 305 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: go into Norman, fall behind seventeen to nothing and then 306 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: take the game over. 307 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 2: He's not gonna be Saban. 308 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: First of all, the SEC now has Texas schools, it's deeper, 309 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: the Big ten's better, and the money runs everything. Now 310 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: you can't stack rosters like Nick Saban could do. Even 311 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: Kirby smart Georgia had last two years. Doesn't look like Georgia. 312 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 1: They're just a really good team. So don't listen to anybody, 313 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 1: Kaylin de Boor off of Nick Saban. That's as good 314 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: as you can do as an athletic director. That's that's 315 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: as good as you can do. 316 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 2: Where Colin was right. 317 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: Miami Hurricanes kept saying, folks, watch this defense all year long. 318 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: I said, I don't buy in Texas A and m 319 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: I said all week Miami's going to go in there. 320 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear that Mario christa ball. You 321 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 1: don't trust him. Miami is going to control this football game. 322 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: Their defense is fast and physical and Mario crystabaal. 323 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 2: And they're nil money they got dudes. 324 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: I mean you just you watch. It's that defense they got, dudes. Now, 325 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: can they beat Ohio State? I'm not sure if anybody can. 326 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,120 Speaker 1: But that defense will keep them in every game they play. 327 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 1: So for all the Miami Hurricane doubters, sorry, they're legit. 328 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 1: That defense as good as anything, maybe even Ohio State's defense. 329 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 1: Colin right wrong on a Monday, and here's Matt Hasselback 330 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: eighteen years in the. 331 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 2: NFL joining US Live. So you know, it's. 332 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: A lot of teams feel like, Okay, they're a regular 333 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: season story. I'm not sure if it translates when you 334 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: watch New England. I don't think i'd be shocked if 335 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 1: they were one and done. But do you think what 336 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: they do translates to January in the postseason? 337 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 7: Yeah, one hundred percent. They just got to stay healthy. 338 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 8: Listen, this is a team that no one even expected 339 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 8: to be in the playoffs this year. I think maybe 340 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 8: you're the only guy, actually you called it, but not 341 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 8: even Mike Vrabel the way they talked about it. They 342 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,719 Speaker 8: traded away all their captains like they were just we're 343 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 8: building something for success down the road. So the success 344 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 8: of Drake may in this offense has been incredible. They 345 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,919 Speaker 8: use free agency mostly to fix the defense, and the 346 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 8: defense really hasn't been what it's been because Milton Williams 347 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 8: has been out, Spallane's been out. But no, I think 348 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 8: what the big question mark was can we protect Drake 349 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 8: may can Drake may be Drake Drake may May And 350 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 8: he's been that, you know, even without his left tackle out, 351 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 8: without his left tackle in there, and on the third 352 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 8: string tackle yesterday. So no, this this team is I 353 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 8: think built for it. I think they're one of the 354 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 8: best teams in the AFC, and I do believe the 355 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 8: coaching matters, and Mike Rabel and Josh McDaniels and those 356 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 8: guys are proven. 357 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,360 Speaker 1: It one of my favorite And then I said, I'm 358 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 1: really impressed with Aaron And you could say, well, what 359 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: about green Bay? Well, far warn in green Bay, Jordan 360 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: love One, Malik Willis looked great. Aaron like Green Bay 361 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 1: does quarterback right, like you know, it's no chaos. They 362 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,880 Speaker 1: always have good old lines. Obviously, he's a great Hall 363 00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 1: of Fame talent, but Pittsburgh was offensive quicksand one of 364 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: my favorite stats is Aaron Is letting go of the 365 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: ball faster than any quarterback in the league, like you know, 366 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: like and I don't blame him, but with this offense, 367 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: it kind of works. It's a size offense. It's not twitchy, 368 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: it's not quick, it's just gigantic. 369 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:14,120 Speaker 2: Men. 370 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 1: I mean I watch Aaron, I'm like, this is exactly 371 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: what this offense should have. They're not good enough to 372 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: overcome negative plays. They don't run it consistently. I'm kind 373 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 1: of blown away by what Aaron's done because this offense 374 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 1: for seven years, Matt, they couldn't get anything right. I mean, 375 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: what do you make of what he's done. 376 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 8: Well, they haven't been very consistent this year either, you know, 377 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 8: they've been like, oh, we're going to be an empty 378 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 8: team and then we're going to try to run. 379 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 7: And we can. 380 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 8: But yesterday I thought was the start of what they 381 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 8: hoped to be. And you hear Mike Tomlin talk about 382 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 8: December football. What you got to do to win at 383 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 8: this time of year. You got to be able to 384 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 8: run the ball, and you got to be able to 385 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 8: stop the run. They ran for almost two hundred yards 386 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 8: yesterday against Detroit, and then they shut Detroit's run game down, 387 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 8: completely shut it down. So I think this is exact 388 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 8: factly what I've been sort of begging for from Aaron 389 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 8: Rodgers and the Steelers Arthur Smith. Aaron Rodgers sees it all. 390 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 8: He's a historian of the game. There's nothing a defense 391 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 8: can do. Let him be the maestro, be the conductor 392 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 8: of the orchestra, the point guard. 393 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 7: He doesn't need to be Michael Jordan. 394 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 8: He can just get us into the perfect play, give 395 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 8: us explosive runs, throw a perfect back shoulder throw to 396 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 8: a guy like DK. But the question is now, and 397 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 8: maybe this actually helps him in a way. If DK 398 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 8: is suspended, are they going to lean in more to 399 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 8: that run game and to Aaron Rodgers getting us into 400 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 8: audibles in the perfect run looks with thirteen personnel, three 401 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 8: tight ends, all that kind of stuff. 402 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 7: That's what I. 403 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 8: Think they need to do anyway, And then they'll get 404 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 8: DK back, and then you leave him one on one. 405 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 7: We got Aaron Rodgers, the Hall of Fame thrower. 406 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: You know, there used to be it's called there's a 407 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: tournament baseball A bad ball hitter. I think it was 408 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: Vlad Guerrero was known. Vlad Garrero would hit pitches you 409 00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: shouldn't even swing at off. 410 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 7: Your gloves too, which is hard to do, Colin. 411 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: I watched Caleb. The layups I'm not sure about, but 412 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: some of the plays he makes, I'm like, what, it's 413 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: just different. It's hard for me to find a prototype. 414 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 2: You tell me what you see. 415 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 7: Listen this. The last two weeks have been great. 416 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 8: You know, he out duels or Sanders against Cleveland, against 417 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 8: Malik Willis. He clearly was the guy at the moment 418 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 8: of truth, when the game is on the line, when 419 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 8: your best is required, he delivered. Absolutely. He makes the 420 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 8: hard things look easy. He makes the easy things look hard, 421 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 8: which is great. If you're a coach, you say, hey, 422 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 8: I can coach you into the easy stuff. You just 423 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 8: got to trust me, and you got to do all 424 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 8: the little things that you probably don't think matter. But 425 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 8: I'm telling you, because I'm a coach and I'm older 426 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 8: and wiser, they matter. And that's what your job is 427 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 8: as a coach. Because he has this stuff that you 428 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 8: can't coach. And you know, some of the other stuff 429 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 8: I think will come with experience, the stuff at the podium. 430 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,880 Speaker 8: When there's an interception, don't say we through an interception. 431 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 8: And when there's a great play, don't say, oh, I've 432 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 8: played in a lot of big games. I've brought us 433 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 8: back and come back Like those are little things that 434 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 8: maybe people don't think matter, but in the long haul, 435 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 8: they do. And that's why I think it does show 436 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 8: up on the field. But to me, he put this 437 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 8: team on his back and critical moments. It was a 438 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 8: struggle bust of a game, a very windy situation, rivalry game. 439 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,199 Speaker 7: And he had two incredible plays. 440 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 8: And Ben Johnson, again, whether it's special teams or offensive 441 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 8: explosive plays or defense on sidekick, this is a guy 442 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,959 Speaker 8: that has his team, has the whole city believe in 443 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 8: and they believe they I think a lot of people 444 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 8: believe that they've got their quarterback. 445 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 7: And for sure he is quieting a lot of the doubters. 446 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,640 Speaker 1: You know. It's interesting And I remember Andy Reid came 447 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: on the show one time and talked about this. I said, 448 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: it's like being a great director. When you have a 449 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: talented quarterback. You want to let them do their thing 450 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: an ad lib, but you have to have an identity. 451 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: This is what the movie is. Okay, here's the movie. 452 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you do your thing. And I kind 453 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: of feel like that with Ben Johnson, Like it's like, hey, listen, man, 454 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: I'm not going to over coach you. 455 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 2: I don't know. 456 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: I just I kind of think in a weird way, 457 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: it's a little tougher than coaching sometimes a limited quarterback 458 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: obviously a capable guy, but Caleb can do stuff like 459 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: you can't get in the way of it, right. 460 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 8: Yeah, No, I mean I think it's exciting for a 461 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 8: guy like Ben Johnson because he was coaching Jared Goff, 462 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 8: who does everything right but doesn't have the mobility and 463 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 8: escapability to make a bad play call look great. And 464 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 8: I think that's one thing Calebs can do. You mentioned 465 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 8: Andy Reid. Andy Reid was my quarterback coach my first year. 466 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 8: He coached Brett farv There was it was almost harder 467 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 8: because if you turned on Brett Favre's mistake reel, it 468 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 8: would look very similar to his touchdown reel, you know, 469 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 8: and so like. 470 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:47,719 Speaker 7: How do you coach through that? 471 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 8: And it's a little bit like being the trainer of 472 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:51,719 Speaker 8: an elite race horse. 473 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 7: There's not just one way to do it. You kind 474 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 7: of got to get to know the horse and you. 475 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 8: Got to kind of like, you know, understand the greatness 476 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 8: in that player, and you don't want to steal the 477 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 8: great plays, and I think, like what I saw, you know, 478 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 8: in my time in Green Bay, I saw Mike Holngrind 479 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 8: was sort of the bad cop, like, hey, no more 480 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 8: cut it out. 481 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 7: Or we're going to put your backup in. 482 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 8: And then Andy Reid was kind of like, Okay, I'm 483 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 8: the good cop. 484 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:18,479 Speaker 7: Here's how we're going to do it. 485 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 8: And he came up with parameters for success, and he 486 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 8: made the quarterback in that situation feel like he was 487 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 8: still cutting it loose, playing free, and yet at the 488 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 8: same time accomplishing the goal of the team, which was 489 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 8: consistent play never ever ever missing an open guy, never 490 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 8: being the reason that a play wasn't successful, maybe doing 491 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 8: letting the offense work for you, some of those things. 492 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 8: If you can put all that together, you can have 493 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 8: an MVP quarterback. 494 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 1: You know, I was saying about the Lions before the season, 495 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 1: I said, when you lose Ben Johnson, Like we all 496 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,159 Speaker 1: know head coaches matter, I don't think we understand how 497 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: much coordinate matter. Like Detroit doesn't look like the same team. 498 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: Go back to your career, and I think, you know, 499 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: we always think it's just play calling, and I'm like, 500 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 1: it can't just be play calling. It's got to be played, design, 501 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: play calling, timing. 502 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 2: Like I watched. 503 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: Detroit, they don't feel the same now, some of its 504 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: offensive line regression on the interior, but they got a 505 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,959 Speaker 1: lot of talent and it doesn't even it doesn't smell 506 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 1: look the same, or they're a bad third down team. 507 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: In your career, what does a great OC provide then 508 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 1: a solid one doesn't identity? 509 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 8: I mean, he doesn't even need to be in the room. 510 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,120 Speaker 8: You could ask a question and everybody in the room 511 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 8: would say, here's the answer. 512 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 7: We all know, like we. 513 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 8: Know exactly how our coach would answer this situation. So 514 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 8: when you get new people, just like in any workplace, 515 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 8: you get a new supervisor, boss, like, you're not really 516 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 8: sure what that person's all about. 517 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 7: And they're learning you too. 518 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 8: They're learning their leadership style and what they can trust 519 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 8: you with, and so some of those things. You know, 520 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 8: if you look back on Detroit season, it could be, hey, 521 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 8: what do we want to do on fourth down? I mean, really, 522 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 8: all you got to look at is Dan Campbell took 523 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 8: over play calling halfway through the year and said, okay, no, no, 524 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 8: this is what I'm looking for. And then you look 525 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 8: at the success that Ben Johnson is having in Chicago, 526 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 8: and you can't say, like, oh, they can't miss that guy. 527 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 8: The dude is special, like he is legitimate as a 528 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 8: head coach. So you take him out of the organization, 529 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 8: there's going to be some growing pains. I do think 530 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 8: this is going to be a year though, where the 531 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 8: Detroit Lions have to look in the mirror and kind 532 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 8: of reevaluate all that they want to be, whether it's 533 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 8: what they want to be a play caller, how often 534 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 8: they want to go for it on fourth down, because 535 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 8: they're right there of being in the playoffs. But unfortunately, 536 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 8: it looks like they're not going to be in the 537 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 8: playoffs this year because they didn't get it right this year. 538 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,439 Speaker 1: You know we were talking about this is that for years. 539 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: I loved I saw him in high school, I loved 540 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: him in college, Trevor Lawrence. And then again you start 541 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:49,919 Speaker 1: get to another coach and then there are five and 542 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: four they lose to the Texans, and I'm like, it's 543 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 1: just not going to work. He gets lured into bad 544 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: picks and yet and by the way, he's totally chill, 545 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 1: and Liam Cohen is wild intense. 546 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 2: And you're like, this is combustible. This is it. 547 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 1: But yet I'm watching Ben and Caleb work, and I'm 548 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: watching intense Liam Cohen and chill southern guy Trevor Lawrence work, 549 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: and I wonder if that's why it works, is that 550 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: they're really different people. What do you make of this 551 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,919 Speaker 1: last two months for Trevor Lawrence. 552 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's been incredible, And I'm one hundred percent in 553 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 8: agreement in terms of the different personality from play caller 554 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 8: to head coach. 555 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 7: I mean, I think they worked together that way. 556 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 8: Trevor's a guy that was taking a lot of heat 557 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 8: and a lot of hate and he, you know, gave 558 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 8: up a big lead. I think it was against Houston 559 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 8: and everyone's like, oh, this is a you know, same 560 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 8: old Jags. Some people left them off their Super Bowl 561 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 8: bubble list. I'm not gonna name names, but you know, 562 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 8: this is a team that's playing really good football. And 563 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 8: to think that this team without guys like Travis Hunter, 564 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 8: went from sunny, humid my you know, down in Jacksonville, 565 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 8: down in Florida all the way up to loud, cold 566 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 8: Denver on the road and made it look like they said, hey, 567 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 8: we just belong here. They didn't just win this game. 568 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 8: They had Denver waving the white flag. I mean they 569 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 8: literally waved the white flag and said, you know, it's 570 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 8: a two score game. We got a short week. 571 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 7: We're looking forward to our next opponent. 572 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 8: While the game was still going on, like no one 573 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 8: thought that Liam Cohen and his duval they were going 574 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,719 Speaker 8: to come in and do that that fix Trevor Lawrence. 575 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 8: And that's exactly what they've done. When I look at 576 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 8: Trevor Lawrence, I see him directing the pass protection upfront 577 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 8: with such confidence, getting the right hat on the right hat, 578 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,959 Speaker 8: which is giving him good protection, and he's kind of 579 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 8: walking into and living into his potential that everyone's kind 580 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 8: of been waiting for. This is a dangerous team. And 581 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 8: I know they're not a big market team. We've talked 582 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 8: about that, but this is a team to look out for. 583 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 8: They are They're one of the best teams in the AFC. 584 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 2: I said. 585 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,719 Speaker 1: One of the stories of the year is that the 586 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: Chargers I think lead the NFL in time of possession. 587 00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: They're unbelievable on third down and they have backups everywhere 588 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 1: the old line and they were on a third string 589 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: running back. If they were last in time of possession, 590 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: you'd be like, well, I totally understand it. There's and 591 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: yet they're at the top. I don't know how to 592 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: explain it. I didn't even like the receiving core in camp, 593 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: and now I love it. Is that the Harbaugh effect, 594 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: the Herbert effect, because they should not be eleven and 595 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: four when I look at all their injuries, like that 596 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: should not be an eleven and four team. 597 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, you nailed it, Harbaugh Herbert, Like that's it. 598 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 8: The grittiness, the toughness your quarterback has literally this year, 599 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 8: has surgery, comes back and plays in the game. He's 600 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 8: got like one hand, he's going to the ground, can't 601 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 8: even break. 602 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 7: His fall, and he just plays gritty. He's bloody. 603 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 8: He doesn't want to even do an postgame interview. He 604 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 8: wants to talk to his teammates like he's just a 605 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 8: football guy. And I think for a long time people 606 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 8: thought of the Chargers kind of like, oh, they're a 607 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 8: finesse team. There they got the cute uniforms. Like no, 608 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 8: this is a physical football team. And Harbaugh has bought 609 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 8: that to the group. And I also think like doing 610 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 8: it with this offensive line, like you mentioned, I was 611 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 8: watching him play in this last game. Literally the offensive 612 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 8: lineman whifted so bad. The d lineman stopped and he 613 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 8: thought that was such a bad block. I think this 614 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 8: is a screen. And he stopped and looked around, like, 615 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 8: oh shoot, no, that was your best effort trying to 616 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 8: block me. And here's Herbert like eyes downfield, just like 617 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 8: throws a great crossing route. It was like, that's how 618 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 8: bad it is right now for them, so to win 619 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 8: on time possession, to have your quarterback healthy enough to 620 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 8: play and play gritty the way he is in the playoffs, 621 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 8: with the group that they have, I mean, get the 622 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 8: coach right, quarterback right, you got a chance. 623 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: Yeap, Matt Hasselbeck on a Monday, It is a you know, 624 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 1: it's funny. I was saying the depth of quarterback. We're 625 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: not gonna have Mahomes, Burrow and maybe Lamar Jackson, and 626 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: yet the quality of quarterback play. I get Purty and 627 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 1: Darnold and Stafford and Allen and Herbert and Stroud and Nick, 628 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: and I mean maybe it's the seven on seven camps, 629 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 1: but the fact that we can have three legends not 630 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: being in the playoff and I'm like, if I get this, 631 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, this brought pretty this. Sam Donald, I mean, 632 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: you know, you know the Seahawks better than anybody. The 633 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: fact that Donald is gonna win. He's won twelve games 634 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 1: with a different team when you watched him Thursday night, 635 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: and you know Seattle as well as any analyst out there. 636 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 1: I love the fact that after the game, Mike McDonald's like, yeah, 637 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 1: you guys worry about that stuff. This is what he does. 638 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: We're aggressive, we take big swings. We don't care about 639 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 1: the stuff you guys care about. 640 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 8: I love that, Hey, in game, in game, everybody jumped 641 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 8: off the Sam Donald bandwagon during the game, and then 642 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 8: by the end of the game they were all back on. 643 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 8: And in the Minnesota Vikings and their fans, they've probably 644 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 8: never jumped off it. But no, it's been impressive that 645 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 8: whole division. Donald Stafford and I would even put the 646 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 8: forty nine ers in that group. 647 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's those three teams right there. 648 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 8: They've gotten great quarterback play all season long, and they 649 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 8: could stand up to anybody. And that's why all three 650 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 8: of those teams are still in play for the one 651 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 8: seed in the NFC. And in this new age, that's 652 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 8: the only buyle. And you know it's not like two 653 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 8: you just get one. One team gets a bye week now, 654 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 8: so that'll be a great one, uh to watch at the. 655 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 2: End, Matt, great seeing you on a Monday as owais. 656 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,719 Speaker 7: See again, all right, yeah there. 657 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 2: You know it's funny about the football is so strange. 658 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 1: Like if I was Seattle and I was that young, 659 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: I would not want to buy week bow Knicks. 660 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 2: I would not want to buy week Like. 661 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: There are teams that I look at, like Pittsburgh that 662 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: would be a great team to get a bye week. 663 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: You got a forty two year old quarterback, You've got 664 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 1: some you know, long of the tooth defenders Pittsburgh. 665 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 2: They're not going to get it. 666 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: But if Pittsburgh could get a bye week, that would 667 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: be great for Pittsburgh. San Francisco, by the way, Kyle 668 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: Shanahan gets an extra week. With all those offensive weapons, 669 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 1: they're a little there was feel like they're close to 670 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 1: being beat up. I would love that Philadelphia has had 671 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 1: o line injuries. Philadelphia could use a bye week. But 672 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 1: a lot of these teams, like I'm Jacksonville, I don't 673 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: want to buy Week to play. I'm Jacksonville. This room, 674 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: this organization is literally coming flying downhill. I don't want 675 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: to buy Week Seattle young team plays with a lot 676 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,919 Speaker 1: of juice. I don't want any buy week for them. 677 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 1: Rams are a little hit mess. Give Stafford a little time. 678 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:23,319 Speaker 1: Feel a little better, Davante the hamstring. But it's a 679 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,919 Speaker 1: lot of times you'll get buys as a huge advantage. 680 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,399 Speaker 1: That's a coin flip to me. I don't think it's 681 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 1: that big of advantage in football unless you're a really 682 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:31,720 Speaker 1: old team.
