I gotta give 10 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 1: a shout out to my guy Stetson Bennett.

Rob. I mean, 14 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: this guy, you know, you can make all the jokes 15 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: about how he's gonna be your accountant in three years. Um, 16 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: you know he looks like a loan officer at the bank. 17 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: This is a guy who is a great story. Like 18 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: he's one of these you know, like everybody doubts him 19 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: and Stetson Better overcomes everything and Stetson better delivers and 20 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: now he's a national champion. I mean, there's a there's 21 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: a whiff of Trent dilferd to this. Like everybody's gonna 22 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: remember the Baltimore Ravens defense, right Lewis and company. And 23 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: the run game. Everybody's gonna remember the two good running 24 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: backs at Georgia, but mostly the defense. And then Stetson 25 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,199 Speaker 1: Bennett game managed his way. He did make two big 26 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: time throws. Georgia wins and covers the pick six, uh, 27 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: sealing it. Um, we are going to do a little NFL. 28 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: But I'm kind of into this game. And listen. It 29 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: was a weird college football season. I did not have 30 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: a good regular season gambling in college football, not a 31 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,839 Speaker 1: good run at all. That being said, it turned around 32 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: with the SEC title key and after that Alabama won 33 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: that it felt like everybody, Oh, Alabama's got the title again. 34 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: And and I just had this sense these rematches are weird. 35 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: We did a gambling show for Fox on Monday, and 36 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: I had start to, you know, root around in the 37 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: history of rematches, and there had been two rematches from 38 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: the regular season in the championship, and both times the 39 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: team that lost the regular season matchup came back in one. 40 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: There was a Florida FSU game in the nineties, and 41 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: then of course Alabama l s U the ugly nine 42 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: six game. Um that l s U one, and the 43 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: Obama trouts him in the Natty and here we go 44 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: again the rematch. You know, Um, Alabama certainly wasn't great 45 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: Bryce Young had I don't know. I mean, it's one 46 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: of those games where and Rob, I I don't like this, 47 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: but this is kind of reality. You know, Bryce Young 48 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 1: on Island game, the largest college football audience of the year, 49 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: I'm sure, and the guy throws two interceptions and he 50 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: missed a lot of passes, and everybody's just gonna be like, 51 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: Bryce Young is not that good? What are you talking about? 52 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: Number one pick in two years? Get out of here. 53 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: I mean, Rob, do you think the general public is aware? 54 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: He went into this game without his leading receiver and 55 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: then in the first quarter loses, or maybe it was 56 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: the second quarter, loses his other great receiver, Jamison Williams, 57 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: who is likely going to be a first round pick 58 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: unless it's an a c L. We haven't got word 59 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: probably will trickle out later today. Um, Rob, I didn't 60 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: think Bryce Young was awful? Right. I didn't think he 61 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: was terrible, did you No, I didn't think he was terrible, 62 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: But um, I will say I didn't think he was 63 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: what I was hoping to see from him. You know, 64 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: when I see a Heisman Trophy quarterback, it shouldn't matter 65 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: that you lost your top two receivers, you know what 66 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: I mean? Like he he his his counting stats were fine. 67 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: I think he completed like six percent of his passes. 68 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: I think like three over three into yards and he 69 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: was fine. I'm not gonna say he wasn't good. You know, 70 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: that last interception, I'm I'm not gonna hold that against 71 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: him because he was pressing. You know, he had to 72 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: score quickly against a great defense. But I will say 73 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: that he left a lot of throws out there, like 74 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: he he did not have for whatever you want to say, bust, 75 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: that'son been And you know he did game manage his 76 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: way most of the season. After he had that fumble. 77 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: There's a fund stap for you. Stetson been at four 78 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: for four eighty three yards, two touchdowns. So he made 79 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: the throws he wasn't And Bryce Young, I don't think 80 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: I saw one, you know, late in the starting the 81 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: second half, on where I was like, Okay, that's the 82 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: Heisman trophee quarterback. I never got that vibe from him 83 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: at all, and I'm trying to kill him. I think 84 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: he had a great season. I think he's a great player, 85 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: but he just did not have those Heisman moments that 86 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: you'd hope for if you're all about it's it's it's 87 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: a tough spot when you can't run. And college is 88 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: dumb because they like if a quarterback gets sacked, it 89 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: counts against your rushing yards. So because he got sacked 90 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: four times and lost like forty yards, they ran for 91 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: thirty yards in the game, but they're running back Robinson 92 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: who killed Cincinnati. You knew he wasn't gonna do that 93 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: again against Georgia, and he ran twenty two times for 94 00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: sixty eight yards. That's three yards of kerry. Okay, that's 95 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: not gonna get it done, but that was expected against 96 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,359 Speaker 1: Georgia defense. So now you've put it all on the 97 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: shoulders of Bryce Young. But instead of having two great receivers, 98 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: he's dealing with freshman and this kid Hall is fast, 99 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: but he had a couple of drops. Brooks is a 100 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: gamer um. He he ended up with forty seven yards. 101 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: I bet his over yardage, Rob, because I'm a little degenerate. 102 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: It was like forty one and a half thanks to 103 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: the final two garbage time drives. Well, I guess the 104 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: last one was garbage time after the pick six he 105 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 1: got THET seven um, but it was one of those 106 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: like who is this guy throwing? Too? And Georgia was 107 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: And this is what I've seen more and I hope 108 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: we see a lot this wild Card weekend. The opponent 109 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: shows blitz, you bring in like the safeties and linebackers 110 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: up to the line, and the overhead camera shows this 111 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 1: great and then two of them will back up, but 112 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: you don't know which too, and the quarterback has a 113 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: split second to read. Okay, the two guys in the 114 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: middle dropped, what's the coverage like? And now meanwhile, now 115 00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: the pressure is coming on because they're blitzing from the 116 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: outside it or whatever. And I just love that stuff. 117 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: Now it's easy for us, Rob right to watch and 118 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: be like, oh, yeah, that's the read you gotta do. 119 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: I mean, with three pounders and two fifty pounds heat 120 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: seeking missiles bearing down on you, you've got to make 121 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 1: the read and there's really no room for error. You 122 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: can't be like oops and throw a pick six. Now, 123 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: Young's pick six was deep down the sideline. They were desperate, 124 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: not a huge fault, but he wasn't making terrible mistakes. 125 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 1: Um obviously the two interceptions, you guys will scoff at 126 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: that and say, yes he did. He was not great. 127 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: It's a freshman minus his two best weapons. Bryce Young 128 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: is still a stud. But when you're forcing a freshman 129 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: to throw fifty seven times because you can't run the ball. 130 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 1: It was one of those games where this was kind 131 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: of a boring game. I think it was nine six 132 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: and like deep into the third quarter, and then Georgia 133 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: gets a touchdown and again it's just like a slow, 134 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: boring game where nobody wanted to really make a mistake 135 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: and Georgia hit a couple of home run plays and 136 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: bing bang boom. That was it. It was classic SEC game. Now, Rob, 137 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: I know this is not gonna be of massive interest 138 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: to a lot of folks, but a few hours before 139 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: the Natty, you know, these goofball college football executives come 140 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: out and they're like, you know, we're trying to hammer 141 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: out this playoff extension, but we can't figure it out. 142 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: And there's just too much disagreement, so we're gonna shelve 143 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: it for now. On the day of the National Championship, 144 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: you're supposed to celebrate the season, they basically announced, yeah, 145 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: we don't have a College Football Playoffs expansion playing. Yeah, 146 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna just stick with four for now. And it's 147 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: just like that's just so deflating, you know. And then 148 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: you look up and it's two teams from the Deep South, 149 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: which has been the case what every single freaking year. 150 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: It's like Clemson, l s U, Alabama, Georgia. It's basically 151 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: three states deeply care about college football. And I'll never 152 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: forget this, but I moved out to l A, you know, 153 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: like five years ago, and I was in a Monday 154 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: afternoon pick up basketball game and I told the guys 155 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: I had to bail early to go watch the National Championship. 156 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: And these are like all guys who are big time 157 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: sports fans, and they play sports and they're active and 158 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: then you know, fantasy football, gambling all that, and they're like, 159 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: why why are you leaving to watch the game. We 160 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: just watch the second half. And I was I was like, well, 161 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: I you know, I do have to kind of talk 162 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: about this stuff all the time, like yeah, but nothing, 163 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen in the first half, Like I just 164 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: gotta watch the second half. I mean, and that's the now. Now, 165 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 1: if USC we're playing, I guarantee you all the guys 166 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: would have bailed or U C l A. But it 167 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 1: was one of those like, you know, it's Clemson Georgia. 168 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: What's what connection is there or whatever? The matchup was 169 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: Clemson Alabama. UM, and and it's weird because there was 170 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 1: like no juice for this game. I mean, it helped 171 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: that Week eighteen in the NFL was off the charts 172 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: with the Chargers game, which you know, twenty four hours later, 173 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: I was still very sad about down in the dumps 174 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: while Rob was you know, doing car wheels. Um. But 175 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: there's so much like we Rob, I'd realized this. We 176 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: didn't even get to Clay Thompson's return. That's how crazy 177 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: Sunday Night was in the NFL. And now the playoff 178 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: games are out and I've been, you know, digging into 179 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: the games and I got a couple of bets in there. 180 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: Um only one non rematch wild Card weekend and most 181 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: of the first game first round matchups, meaning the first 182 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: first meeting between the teams were garbage. Wild Card weekend 183 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: may not be awesome. I don't know. I mean, I mean, 184 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: I'm obviously stoked for it, but the matchups just are 185 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 1: not ideal. But anyways to put a bowl on college football, Um, 186 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, Rob, you know, like, are you getting 187 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 1: spent on college football with like when only teams from 188 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: four like four states pretty much are making the championship? 189 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: Like is it getting a little tiresome? Uh? I just 190 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 1: I feel like it's losing impact. And I don't even 191 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: get like a ton of friends who are sports fans 192 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: like stoked for these games. Yeah, I mean that's fair 193 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: to say. You know, I think up until this season, 194 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: I think it was something like only seven teams had 195 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: made the playoffs total or something like that. I have 196 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: to look at at something I think that's accurate. But 197 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: I want to go back to something you said about 198 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: you know, Bryce Young in Alabama and you're saying, you know, 199 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: it's hard for him to compete against a team like 200 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: a Georgia, you know, without his two right receivers and yeah, yeah, yeah, 201 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: did you know that? Entering last night's game Alabama, I 202 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: want to make sure you get this right. You know 203 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 1: how many four and five star recruits they had on 204 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: their roster, Yeah, a seventy four. So I don't care 205 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: that you lost your top teop of me. It sucks, 206 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 1: you know, you'd like to see the best guys out there, 207 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: of course, but to say that he went to a 208 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 1: he had a knife to a gunfight is just not accurate. Alright, alright, lookay, 209 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: Bryce Young is the Heisman Trophy winning quarterback. By definition, 210 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: he is supposed to be more special than anybody else 211 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,719 Speaker 1: he's going against. And if I take away to your 212 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: top two receivers, yeah, it's gonna hurt you. But that 213 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: shouldn't mean that you can't put up more than nine 214 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: points through three quarters. I don't care who you're going against. 215 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: Let me counter rub.

This guy a G I y E. 222 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: How do you even say his name? Even gonna try 223 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: something hall, He's number eighty four. He looks like a major. 224 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: I'm sure he if you google him. I G. Hall 225 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 1: was a four or five star kid. He's out of Florida. 226 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: He's sixth three and he's a receiver. Coming into the Natty. 227 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: He had two catches this year, two catches for twenty yards. Okay, 228 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: he probably didn't even run many routes in games. His 229 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: last reception was against New Mexico State in November. Before that, 230 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: one catch against Miami in September. That's it. And now 231 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 1: he doubled his reception total in the National Championship going 232 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: against the best defense in the country. That's only Hall. 233 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: The other kid, the kid that I bet on was 234 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: Brooks Now he had He filled in for Mecchi against 235 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: UH Cincinnati and was decent. He caught a forty four 236 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: yard touchdown coming into the game the National Championship. Ja 237 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: Corey Brooks, another six two freshman out of Miami, had 238 00:12:55,520 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: nine catches on the season. Nine He had six a Georgia. 239 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: So I know four and five start. Yes. Are they 240 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: gonna be good long term? Yes? But they don't have 241 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: like an in practice for the last five months. Well, 242 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 1: whose fault is that? Well? How how was those guys 243 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: going to crack through the rotation. How it's not like 244 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: it's not like Alabama's running this old school offense with 245 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: the only two wide receivers on the field at any 246 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: one time. They they trot out three and four wide 247 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 1: receivers minimum every single play, the White dude. And for 248 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: some reason, and this is another fun fact, up until 249 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: there were let me see here, one minute and twenty 250 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: seconds left in the third quarter, almost half of George's 251 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: yards offensively came on two plays. And you mean to 252 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: tell me that the Heisman Trophy quarterback with the greatest 253 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: coach of all time, Nick say Been behind him, doesn't 254 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 1: matter who he has out there at receivers, how much 255 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: experience they have, you couldn't score more than nine points. 256 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: You couldn't put any separation between yourself and the other 257 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: team when that other offense you're going against is struggling 258 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: like that. There's a reason why there was a viral 259 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: video early in the first quarter of Bill O'Brien getting 260 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: losing his mind up in the press box or in 261 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: the coach's box because I know the receiver slipped, but 262 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: it's like, you're supposed to be able to convert those 263 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: kind of plays. It doesn't matter who you're going against. 264 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: I love it, right, So I end up defending Alabama 265 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: and looking like an ask clown. But I will point 266 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: this out, Rob, go look at the Arizona Cardinals, right, 267 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: new Copkins one of the best receivers in the league. 268 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: With him, their numbers are basically top five, top four 269 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: offense in the league in terms of efficiency, yards for play, 270 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: blah blah blah. So new Copkins goes out and you're like, well, 271 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: they're paying other guys five hundred thousand million whatever. The 272 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: offense screeches to a grinding halt, and I know people 273 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: are gon say, well, j they scored thirty against Seattle. Uh, 274 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: don't look at they scored thirty because they didn't score third. 275 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: The defense scored an opening touchdown, then Russell Wilson was 276 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: intercepted and Arizona runs it back to the one yard 277 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: line and they run in a one yard touchdown run. 278 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: So that's fourteen of the thirty came on essentially to 279 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: defensive place. That offense stinks since they lost DeAndre Hopkins. 280 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk, I think he was a second round pick. 281 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: Can't do Jack squad aj Green who held me he 282 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: might sniff the Hall of Fame. That guy was awesome 283 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: in his prime. Awesome. I don't know. Hall of fame 284 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: might be much, But what what can he do? They're 285 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: throwing to Antoine Wesley who was great against Dallas and 286 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: then returned to earth against Seattle with a couple of drops. 287 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: So yeah, these guys can make a massive difference. And 288 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: I know it shouldn't come down to the receiver, but 289 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: go look at Carson Wentz. H Well, Carson went is 290 00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: a bad example without Michael pitt Uh, you know that 291 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: looks good. And then actually he had Michael Pittman and 292 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: everybody and he was dogshit because that's what Carson Wentz is. Um. 293 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: But yeah, like there's just so much happening in sports. 294 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: I do want to quickly pivot from Alabama. I mean, 295 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: are we go to you go to an Alabel I 296 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: didn't think said I don't mean to come down on 297 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: Bryce Young because he is a kid and he is fantastic. 298 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: I want to make that clear. I'm not trying to 299 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: rip a college student. That's not what I'm trying to 300 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: do at all. I just don't think he played up 301 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: to his potential in the championship. Can I I will 302 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: add this. I think. I hope this doesn't come out wrong. 303 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: So he's not a huge quarterback, right, I don't even 304 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: think he's six too. I don't think he's six one. 305 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: Relatively small. Yeah, is it odd to you that he 306 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: does not look fleet at all? And I'm not saying 307 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: he has to be fast because he's on the small side, 308 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: but he doesn't even look that quick. Now, the Georgia 309 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: linebackers are fast as ship, but under like they I 310 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: don't know. Remember in the red zone they score touchdown, 311 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: they're going for too, and brace Young touched it to 312 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: the right and he starts running and you're like, oh, 313 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: he's got acres of space. He could probably run that 314 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 1: in And then you have to be like, oh no, no, no. 315 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: He may look Kyler Murray's size, but he has no chance. 316 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: And he got like one yard maybe two, and then 317 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: he was drilled by Locke backers. Um, so he does. 318 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 1: Is it weird that he's not faster. I guess you 319 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: would think that because of his size, that he would 320 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: be faster than than what he is. But the thing 321 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: is with that offense, and we saw that with mac Jones, 322 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: we saw that with two and Neither one of those 323 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 1: guys is great athletes. But what they can do is 324 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: they can get the ball to the skill position guys, 325 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: which they have bounties of. They have forty seven five 326 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: star wide receivers and you know, twenty five star running backs. 327 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: So as long as you get them the ball in 328 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: the correct place in space, they're gonna do all the work. 329 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: So that's really all I has to worry about. I 330 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: think that he probably has more natural talent than either 331 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: of those two guys, even if he's not that fleet 332 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: of foot.

I mean, it's a little late to have 338 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: January tenth. This is usually like late December, early January. 339 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 1: January tenth is like middle of January. Um, no surprise 340 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: that Naggie from Chicago gets dusted, Mike Zimmer, not a 341 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:35,479 Speaker 1: big surprise. There's one that a lot of people were 342 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 1: surprised by, and I was caught off guard as well. 343 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: Brian Flores in Miami after two seasons, all of a sudden, 344 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: fired and it's like, whoa, they just want eight or 345 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: nine games down the stretch. He got fired two seasons, huh, 346 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 1: and instantly you get the leaks from internal Miami. Well, 347 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: Brian floor As did not have a good relationship with 348 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: his offensive coordinators, He did not have a good relationship 349 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 1: with his quarterback. He rubbed a lot of people the 350 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: wrong way. They had to get rid of him. It 351 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: was it was, um, you know, the organization was not collaborative. Now, Rob, 352 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: I just want everybody to know, this is how your 353 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 1: sausage gets made. Rob. We went an entire season. We're 354 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 1: not once did anyone in the national media report one 355 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: damn thing about Brian Flores feuding with his offensive coordinator 356 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: with his quarterback. Nothing? Right, that's accurate. Right, There was nothing, 357 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: not an ounce And now all these reporters are like, well, 358 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: Brian Flores didn't get along with anyone. What the hell 359 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: are you talking about? Where where are you? How are 360 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: you coming up with this? That makes no sense. You 361 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: can't say, oh, yeah, I knew this all along. I 362 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: just didn't report it because you didn't know. If you 363 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 1: did know, you were reporting it, you didn't know. You're 364 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: basically getting handed the negative side of the story from 365 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: the owner. So why is this happening now? Why did this? 366 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: But in Brian Flores, well, the obvious one is Stephen Ross, 367 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: the Michigan guy, the big billionaire Michigan guy, has somebody 368 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: in mind. He has to have somebody in mind. You 369 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: don't fire a coach after two years a coach. I 370 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 1: know he missed the playoffs twice, but uh, I don't 371 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 1: know if you really need to Florence was surprising. That 372 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: has to surprise the people. Rob, you were surprised, right, 373 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: A little bit. Yeah, it's surprising. I probably was not 374 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 1: as surprised as you were, but a little bit. I 375 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 1: mean again, I don't think Flora is anything great, And 376 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: we could get to that in a second. Like, let's 377 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: stop treating Brian Flores like he's amazing, because you know, 378 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:42,919 Speaker 1: he started one and three and then he started one 379 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: and seven, So how good are we talking here? Like, Yeah, anybody, 380 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: when you're down and you've got nothing nowhere to go 381 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: but up, you're gonna win a bunch of games. But 382 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: twice he's had a chance to get to the playoffs, 383 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 1: and twice they've gotten their doors kicked in two years 384 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: ago by Buffalo facing largely backups, and Miami fans want 385 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 1: to fight beyond this and be like, no, Miami, Buffalo 386 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: played their starters, it doesn't matter. It's like fifty Okay, 387 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 1: you got their ass kicked. And then this year in 388 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 1: Tennessee huge game, they come out lethargic and get stomped, 389 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: choked out thirty three. So not only does Flora's starts slow, 390 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: but he can't win the big game when it matters 391 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: at the end of the season. So let's I know, 392 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: people are outraged another black coach fired. I get it, 393 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: Yet that is that wrong? Sure in a league that's 394 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: largely African American players, should there be more black coaches? 395 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: Your damn right, there should be. That being said, I 396 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: think Ross has to have somebody in mind, and I 397 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: put out there that listen, hardball makes sense. There have 398 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: a relationship, and quickly you know how bad of a 399 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: look that is. If it's like Jim Harbaugh last week 400 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: is chirping, Hey, I would like to go back to 401 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 1: the NFL. You guys know what this is about. Of Course, 402 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: he took a massive pay cut to stay at Michigan. Meanwhile, 403 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: the Michigan State coach Mel Melt Tucker is it Rob? 404 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: I think it's Tucker, the Michigan State coach. Whoever, he 405 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: gets a massive race. Okay, James Franklin gets a massive race. 406 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,959 Speaker 1: Neither of them have made the playoff. Jim Harbo made 407 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: the playoffs. So he's out here being like, yo, I 408 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: need some cheddar and y'all better pony up or I'm 409 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 1: gonna go to the NFL. And what happens, Well, it 410 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,719 Speaker 1: works well for Harbaugh, who, by the way, was calling 411 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: media members to talk to them. You know, do with 412 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: that what you will. Chicago opens up. Jim harbaw was 413 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 1: I believe drafted by Indie or Chicago, one of those two. 414 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: But he's definitely was played in Chicago. Fits his blue 415 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: collar ethos. It's a perfect fit. Well, you're gonna give 416 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: Jim Harball rais a you're gonna say, and we dare 417 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: we double dog dare he'd go to Chicago, um, which 418 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 1: is kind of a rebuilding project, right I don't think 419 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: Chicago is a great job right now. UM. And the 420 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: other one is would he go to Miami. Miami is 421 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: a lot of talent guys, a lot of town on 422 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: the outside the offensive line is a lot of players 423 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: I don't know about talent. The defense has talent. The 424 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: cornerback Howard Um, who is the guy that Ross has? 425 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: Is it hardball? Is it? I mean? Could he go 426 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: out and get the coach um from Stanford? David? Yeah, David? 427 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: Could he get David Shaw? What big name is he 428 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: gonna get? Because you don't fire your coach after two 429 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 1: years unless you really think you can land somebody. Any 430 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 1: theories robbed, you know what. I know that it wasn't 431 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: heavily reported that Brian Floors is having issues within that 432 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 1: locker room in that front office. But if you read 433 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: the tea leaves, there's a reason why he had three 434 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: different offensive coordinators in three years. There's a reason why 435 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: they started out as poorly as they did. And you 436 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: can't just blame it all on to the quarterbacks that 437 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 1: you know, because the way he mismanaged to his rookie season, 438 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: yanking him back and forth Ryan Fitzpatrick, it seemed to 439 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 1: me like Brian Flores was operating almost independently of the 440 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 1: rest of his staff and the rest of the front office, 441 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: like he had a way he wanted things done. Anybody 442 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 1: who didn't agree with it. Offensive coordinator gotta go each time. 443 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: And Jay Glazer said on Sunday during his NFL on 444 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 1: Fox here he's talking about the coaches that may or 445 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 1: may not get fired on Black Monday, and he throws 446 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: in this innocuous comment at the time and not until 447 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: afterwards that it makes sense. He says, you know, quote, 448 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: keep your eye out on Brian Flores in Miami, and 449 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: he adds, if they get rid of Flores with the Dolphins, 450 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 1: there's a lot more problems in that organization than just that. 451 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 1: So it leads me to believe that there was something 452 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 1: going on with Brian Flores. I don't know exactly what 453 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 1: it was. We can only speculate, but it leads me 454 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: to believe that there was something else going on. And because, 455 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: like you said, the way the sausage gets made, most 456 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: of these NFL reporters, some of when we get on 457 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: this podcast, they only say what they're allowed to say. 458 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 1: It's not like the NBA, where you've got guys like 459 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,239 Speaker 1: Jake Fisher who aren't really tied to anybody, who can 460 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: just put things out that he's hearing. Because you have 461 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 1: to worry about the repercussions from anybody else. He doesn't 462 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: have these relationships like a Shams or a Woes or 463 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: who pick your favorite person, where they're tied to a 464 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,360 Speaker 1: certain agency, a certain front office, a certain general manager, 465 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 1: where they know that they can't say too much because 466 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: they don't want to burn that relationship. Huh. It just 467 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: smells something smells sheet. I mean, listen on the pod. 468 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 1: I had bagged on Flores about the offensive coordinator. You 469 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: guys know I've been ripping to uh and that situation 470 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: was real. But something just feels weird here. I think 471 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 1: they have a big name. I don't know who it is. 472 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: I don't know who they have cooked up. I don't 473 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: think Bill O'Brien. I don't think Bill O'Brien makes a 474 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: hell of a lot of sense, especially after last night. Yeah, 475 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: especially you can't watch that National Championship game say yeah, 476 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien is the guy. He's definitely the guy. Well, 477 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys will listen to this and then 478 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: hit me on the d M s or on Twitter 479 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: and and give me your theories on who the big 480 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,360 Speaker 1: name is because I gotta have somebody. Um. I don't 481 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: think there's a lot of great options out there right now. 482 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: Do you. I mean, some of these names that are 483 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 1: interviewing for like uh in Chicago and like even in 484 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: Denver where Vick Fngio got toasted toasted. Um, I'm not 485 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: It's kind of an uninspiring lot. That being said. Nick 486 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: Siriani is in the playoffs. Um, in Philadelphia, Zach Taylor's 487 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,160 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Taylor's in the freaking playoffs? Who over 488 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,639 Speaker 1: the Raiders? I should stop trying to say. And I 489 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: do think that hard By is the the big fish 490 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: in this coaching circle and that really heels around huge 491 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,400 Speaker 1: name out there unless somebody, I mean nobody thinks Herban 492 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: Meyer is getting another look. Um, is there another big 493 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: name you can lure from college? I mean, maybe that's 494 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: why Matt Rule hasn't been fired yet. Carolina, Well, I 495 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: will say you like that. I heard that Miami was 496 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: interviewing Brian Dable for the head coaching job. No, I don't. 497 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if Brian Dable's that I think this 498 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 1: season may have hurt his case a little bit. But 499 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: I like the idea of pairing him appairing to with 500 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: somebody who knows him and knows his strengths, because once 501 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: you tie yourself to a quarterback. You have to do 502 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: everything you can to make sure he's comfortable and successful. 503 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: And that's one thing that Brian Flores absolutely did not do. 504 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,360 Speaker 1: The only outside the box name that I had heard 505 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 1: from an agent was Lane Kiffin, which I mean, I 506 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: just can't imagine Miami going to Lane Kifn. But he 507 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: does no offense. We know everywhere he goes, his offense 508 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: is good. I just don't know if he's ready to 509 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: get back in the NFL. UM I guess you know 510 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: Dable will make that that comment you made about Dable 511 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 1: is interesting, So they want to interview or he's interviewing 512 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: this week. I believe he's interviewing this week. So the 513 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills have a playoff game coming up against Patriots, 514 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 1: and Brian Dable is interviewing with the Miami Dolphins. I know, 515 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 1: I know it's one day, it's a couple of hours. 516 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: Where's your focus? I think it's a legitimate question for 517 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: a guy in Brian Dable, who was incredible last year 518 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: and this year much less so. Was it because he 519 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: was somehow worked he did not get any head coaching offers. 520 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: I mean the rams were supposed I mean, sorry, the 521 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: Chargers were supposed to get him to pair with Herbert, 522 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 1: it would have been like, oh my gosh, this golden. Instead, 523 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: they get Stately to fix their defense, and their defense 524 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: ends up a tire fire, and I'm still angry at Brandon's. 525 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: That being said, U probably wrap up there all right. Guys, 526 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: everybody have a great Tuesday. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
