19
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: night football reaction Welkins beat the Raiders. Not much to say.

20
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins is really struggling. Not sure why they don't

21
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: put Michael Pennix in he was a highly experienced college

22
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: quarterback from Indiana to Washington, played with NFL receivers and

23
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: offensive linemen with an NFL level head coach, Kaitlin de Boor,

24
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: who I think is really really good. He'll get Alabama

25
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: Hammond by next year. I don't get it. Raheem Morris

26
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: defensive coach. Maybe he doesn't sense the urgency. I don't

27
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: know if there were promises to Kirk Cousins, but if

28
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: Michael Pennix isn't better than Kirk Cousins, then that's a

29
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: wasted or miss on a first round pick because right

30
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: now Kirk Cousins does not have his fastball. Let's talk

31
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: about the Chicago Bears. So they lost to the Vikings.

32
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: I didn't think Sam Darnold played particularly well, but he's

33
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: getting the ball to TJ. Hawkinson, Jordan Addison, and Justin Jefferson,

34
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: so he's getting the ball to the right people. I

35
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: thought he was a little high, missed some throws, but overall,

36
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: Minnesota was picked for third or fourth. I mean, it's

37
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: all gravy at this point. First, let's start with the

38
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. There are a couple franchises in this league

39
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,959
Speaker 1: that are just broken, and I think the Chicago Bears

40
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: are top of the list. It's a broken franchise. The

41
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: mccaskeys are arguably the worst owners in the league, oldest

42
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: and among the poorest. Really out of touch. Kevin Warrens

43
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: the president. I've been told for years, highly political. Charles

44
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: Robinson of Yahoo reporting today that you know somebody that

45
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: seeks power and to retain power. That's a little what

46
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: I was told years ago. Don't know him personally, but

47
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 1: that's what I've been told from two sources. I trust

48
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: Ryan Poles is young. You know, I'm hit and miss

49
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: on polls. I love the Monte Montes sweat deal, the

50
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: DJ More deal. I don't think he's the problem in

51
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 1: the organization. I think Ryan Poles is struggling with the

52
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: people above him. But a great example of the dysfunction,

53
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: so Matt Eberflues, a defensive coach, was fired. Well, defensive

54
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: coaches don't have the offensive connections that offensive coaches do.

55
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: I mean, there is a reason Andy Reid keeps hiring

56
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: really good offensive coaches right like their offense. Now, Reid

57
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: does most of the play calling, but Doug Peterson got

58
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: a head coaching job. Matt Naggy got a head coaching

59
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: job and by the way, got Mitt Trubisky to the

60
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: playoffs twice. So you can say all you want about

61
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: Matt Naggy. You die for Matt Naggy now in Chicago.

62
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: And then there's a reason that Belichick had to rely

63
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: on Josh McDaniels. When Josh left. You know, Bill was

64
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: scrambling to find an offensive coordinator. But Sean McVay can

65
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: find one every two years. So Thomas Brown was under

66
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: Shane waldron Well. Ibra Flues doesn't have a lot of

67
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: great offensive connections, clearly because when Shane waldron Lef left

68
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: Chicago of Seattle, he was criticized. They rolled their eyes

69
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: at him. He went to Chicago, it was a mess

70
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: with Caleb Williams. Then Thomas Brown, who's a bright young guy.

71
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: He coached with the Rams, but you know he is

72
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: an interim head coach. He's had. This is his third

73
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: different job this season with the Bears. I mean, hr

74
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: is probably asking him to slow down so they can

75
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: get his paycheck, right, I'm not going to blame him,

76
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: but eber flu selected this staff and it's not very good.

77
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: I think it's a broken franchise. And you know, my

78
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: take is, if you're really honest about it, you know

79
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: what they remind me of. I was thinking about it tonight.

80
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: They remind me a lot. The Bears are the Chargers

81
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: last season where they had a talented young quarterback, some

82
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: really nice pieces, but major cultural issues and what did

83
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: they do. They went and got Jim Harbaugh to fix it.

84
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: And that's why Mike Rabel's the higher Vrabel is Dan Campbell,

85
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: less reckles. He's Jim Harbaugh, but to this point hasn't

86
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: been as successful. He's a really smart guy. He's a

87
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: culture changer. There's no bullshit with him. He's very honest

88
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: and very upfront, and he got to an AFC championship,

89
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: you know, with Tennessee. So I just think Vrabel's the

90
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: call here. Vrabel, you know, and I've talked to Mike

91
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: about this. Vrabel is the kind of guy that will

92
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: come in and the only thing that would get in

93
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: his way is a Kevin Warren level executive that was

94
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: trying to retain power. If Frabel has some saying personnel,

95
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: he's pretty good at that and has a great relationship

96
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: with the general manager who he can answer to. And

97
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: trust I think Rabel could win immediately. I think, you

98
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: know again, I'll say this, the Bears have a Chargers

99
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: feel now. The Chargers are not going to go from

100
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: what they were last year to a Super Bowl. Need

101
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: another draft. They have to hit on another receiver, maybe

102
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: another tight end, another running back. They need more pieces offensively,

103
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: and the Bears with Rabel are not winning a super Bowl,

104
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: especially out of that division. And I think the Bears

105
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: need to shore up the offensive line, but more than that,

106
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: you know, maybe another edge rusher. More than that, I

107
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: think it's just a cultural modification is what they need.

108
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: But it's rough. I mean, you can say what you

109
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: want about the Jets and Woody Johnson and I think

110
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: he's one of the weaker owners, but they have a

111
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: good roster. Aaron's played well in the last three to

112
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: four weeks. He's had one hundred plus passer rating I

113
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: think on average over the last four weeks. The Giants

114
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: have issues, but you know, there's some pieces there that

115
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: defensive front and l Mars don't want to fire Brian

116
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: Dable because they've run through coaches, but the team looks

117
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: like they've quit. But with Chicago, there's just I mean,

118
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: there's just not much to like. I like Montes Sweat

119
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: and Jalen Johnson. I like Caleb Williams. You know DJ

120
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: Moore if the running back. There's some Pete Cole comment,

121
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: there's some pieces I like, But I don't know what

122
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: you do other than hire Mike Rabel. This is not

123
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: a job for a coordinator. Give me a break. You're

124
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: not going to get a Ben Johnson here, Bobby Slowick.

125
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: It's not going to turn this thing around. You're a

126
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: mile from that. And I'll make this argument, I think,

127
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: And I talked to Mike Vrabel about this, and my

128
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: suggestion to him is, I'm not sure if I take

129
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: a job this year, I think next year you could

130
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: have much more attractive openings. If Joe Burrow is getting

131
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: really tired of Zach Taylor, the coach of Cincinnati, they

132
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: won't fire him at the end of this year, But

133
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: if Joe Burrow makes demands, Zach Taylor's in trouble next

134
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: year for Joe Burrow to ream Zach Taylor out, knowing

135
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: he's on TV the way he reamed him out. Burrow's

136
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: got no time for this nonsense in Cincinnati, So that

137
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: job could be open next year. I think Mike McCarthy

138
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: in Dallas, I think he's probably saved his job, right,

139
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: he's probably saved it. And if Dallas can move Michael

140
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: Parsons get a couple of first round picks, hit on

141
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: those you know, who knows. But also I think that

142
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: could be open. So, you know, seven different coaches get

143
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: whacked every year. I just don't like the job openings.

144
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: I love Caleb Williams Chicago. To me, is it feels

145
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: like quicksand for a coach. You know, Jacksonville's got an opening.

146
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: There's a reason everybody fails here in Jacksonville. It just

147
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: since Tom Coughlin left, it's just dead coach walking. Nobody

148
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: works there. So there's got to be something systemic within

149
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: the organization. And I think what you're really seeing now.

150
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: And I was having this discussion this weekend with somebody

151
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,599
Speaker 1: I respect a lot, and he said, you know, you

152
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: just you start looking around this league and it's just

153
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: the power of ten. There's about ten good gms, ted

154
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: good oders, ten good quarterbacks, ten good left tackles, and

155
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: I just don't like. If you're Mike Vrabel, I don't

156
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: like what's out there. I love Chicago. It's a great city.

157
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: They're good pieces. But man, anybody watching this show, watching

158
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: this podcast, or listening, it does not matter how good

159
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: the employees are. If ownership and management is sideways, it

160
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. I've said this before. I've been really fortunate.

161
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 1: I had a really good ownership in Las Vegas my

162
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: first job. Obviously, ESPN and Fox are well run companies.

163
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: At Portland, I thought we had good ownership, good management.

164
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: I worked in Tampa for a couple of years and

165
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: really really talented people in the newsroom, photo journalists, producers, reporters, anchors.

166
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: It was not the employees. I thought management was a

167
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: circus and I'll just it at that, and you couldn't

168
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: overcome it. And it was a real learning moment for me,

169
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: is that the employee base was the best I'd ever

170
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: worked with. At the time, I thought there was just

171
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: so many talented people. Our sports department was just really fun, clever,

172
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: smart people. But you can't you can't, like in Chicago,

173
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if Rabel's the coach and he's trying

174
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: to change things eventually, if people are political upstairs, I

175
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: mean it's it's like, look at the Jets, they fire

176
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: Robert Sali the best coach on the staff. I mean,

177
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: going into a game against Buffalo, if they won it,

178
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 1: there they were in first place. I mean they fired

179
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas. Well, Douglas got Devonte Adams, who's playing great now.

180
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas missed on a quarterback. But Joe Douglass. That

181
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 1: Jets roster they've got, dudes, I mean they really do.

182
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: They're going to get another very good first round pick

183
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: this year. They've got a left tackle for the future,

184
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: they've got their corner, they've got weapons. I mean, they

185
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: can really be selected. The Jets could move down in

186
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: the first round and get four or five. You know,

187
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: if they moved down and got another second round pick

188
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 1: or a second and a fourth round pick, you could

189
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: have five new starters on the team next year. And

190
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 1: I think the Jets, I mean, they really have their weapons.

191
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: They have their left tackle, the Penn State kid, a

192
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 1: couple of good receivers, good corners, pass rushers. So I mean,

193
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 1: I I mean I thought saw when Joe Douglas were capable.

194
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 1: They're both out. So there's nothing you can do if

195
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: upstairs is messed up. There's just in my experience in life,

196
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: there's nothing you can do, you know. It's I make

197
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: picks blazing five, and I had another terrible week. Generally,

198
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: I've been doing this blazing five thing for like twenty years,

199
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: and on average I hit about fifty six percent, fifty

200
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: five fifty seven percent. This is my worst year easily.

201
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I've just struggled all year long,

202
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: but I'm actually it's funny because on the bigger preseason

203
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: predictions for division champions, I've actually had the best year

204
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: I've ever had. I had Buffalo, Kansas City, Baltimore and

205
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: the Texans winning their division. If Baltimore beats the Steelers Saturday,

206
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: I'll be four for four. Heading to the last couple

207
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 1: of weeks, I had Philly, the Rams, Green Bay, and

208
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: the Falcons winning their divisions. Philly and the Rams du lead.

209
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: Green Bay and the Falcons still have a shot, although

210
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: Atlanta right now they'll beating the Raiders tonight. They got

211
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: to get quarterbacks solved. My two dark horse teams were

212
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: Washington and Denver. They'll both make the playoffs. So I

213
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: actually have in terms of predictions, I think I've had

214
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: a really good year. I don't know why I'm struggling

215
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: so much. I've just been out of rhythm. You know.

216
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: The weekends I take favorites, they go belly up. The

217
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: weekends I take dogs. I have the wrong ones. But

218
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: I love doing it, and I always feel bad. I

219
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: don't mind losing money. I don't like anybody else to

220
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 1: lose it. But I'm'm picking football games for so long.

221
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 1: An old story. When I first moved to Las Vegas,

222
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: I had no money, I was out of college, and

223
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: I drove down to Vegas in a blue AMC Pacer

224
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: that later caught fire. A couple of years later, on

225
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: Charleston and Oak Streets in Las Vegas, I had Texaco

226
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: station I pulled in my car was on fire. And

227
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 1: I remember when I first moved to Vegas, I'd never

228
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: met football games, and so I was a huge Pack

229
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: ten fan, and so I really started hitting on a

230
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: lot of Pac ten picks because all the games weren't televised.

231
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: I knew the Pacific Northwest teams really well because I

232
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: was from there. I remember one year I think I

233
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: was like ten and one on Oregon State games. I

234
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: just could not miss on the Beavers. And I just

235
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 1: love picking football games. But I have stunk this year.

236
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: And what's interesting is that Nick Wright and Danny Parkins

237
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: at FS one have both been on fire, hitting like

238
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: sixty five percent. So congrats to those guys. But you know,

239
00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: my overall takeaway really on the playoffs this year is

240
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of surprises. I mean, right now,

241
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: I have If Baltimore beats the Steelers Saturday, i'll have

242
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: six of the eight teams I picked to win the

243
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: division winning and Green Band and the Falcons close. What

244
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: is pretty clear, and the reason I picked those teams

245
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: to win the division was like head coach and quarterback.

246
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: And so I think the one thing I look at

247
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: this year is a real positive. I think Caleb can play.

248
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: I think Jayden Daniels can play. I think Boon Nicks

249
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: can play. My guess is JJ McCarthy can play. I

250
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: don't know what the hell's going on with Michael Pennix,

251
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: because I really liked him out of college. I thought

252
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: he was a bigger, stronger, better deep ball to and

253
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: TWOA is more than capable, but he just can't throw

254
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: the ball deep down field. He's not good against pressure

255
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: or really elite defenses are in cold weather, you have

256
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: to qualify everything with Tua. I think Panicstows a much

257
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: better sharper deep ball, stronger, longer, just a bigger athlete.

258
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: But I think we have a chance to go five

259
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: for five with quarterback. And this is not a great

260
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: quarterback year in college. But if the quarterbacks go four

261
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: for five or five for five this group of quarterbacks,

262
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: it will be the third draft since around twenty eighteen

263
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: where you've had multiple first round quarterbacks hit. And I

264
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: don't think we'll ever get to a saturation point where

265
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: you know everybody's got their quarterback. But I don't remember

266
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: a time where there were this many good quarterbacks. I mean,

267
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: I mean, even Aaron Rodgers in the last month has

268
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: been unbelievable. Jordan Love, Jaylen Hurts. This weekend was sensational.

269
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: You know, bo Nicks makes mistakes, but he's clearly a

270
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: franchise guy. His toughness, his athletic ability. He's got a

271
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: better arm I think in the pros and I thought

272
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: he had in college. So I think, big picture, as

273
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: the league's become more have and have nots, I think

274
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: we had another bumper quarterback draft class. I only saw

275
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy in the preseason, but in the couple appearances,

276
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: I thought he was really quick, really nimble, and he

277
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: reminded me a little bit of Sam Darnold that he

278
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: was really aggressive. And I think Kevin O'Connell's proven the

279
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: Vikings head coach, he can coach a lot of that

280
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: out of you. And another part of this quarterback journey

281
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: is there's better quarterback coaches. I mean this, so I

282
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: think the guy down in Tampa, Liam Cohen under Baker Mayfield,

283
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: who was briefly in Los Angeles, I think he's going

284
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: to get looks. I think the quality of offensive coaching

285
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: has really improved. That's why you're seeing Donald and Baker

286
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: Mayfield a rebirth. I think there's sensational coaching offensively. I

287
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: didn't feel that fifteen years ago in the NFL. I

288
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: think it's everywhere, and I think the talent's everywhere. So

289
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: I mean, yesterday we had a really ugly one o'clock window.

290
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: It was the first time all year I was bored

291
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: watching the NFL where I thought, man, this is just

292
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: a batterly window. But I mean this weekend, the college

293
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: and the pro games this weekend, starting Friday night in

294
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,959
Speaker 1: the en at Notre Dame. The next Friday, Saturday Sunday

295
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: could be the most sensational three day stretch of football

296
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: any year, and a lot of it is because of

297
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 1: quarterback play and very sharp offensive coaching. The volume well,

298
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 1: it's the most wonderful time of the year for getting

299
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: in on all the basketball, football hockey action at DraftKings

300
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 1: sports Book. It's the season of giving, so we're being

301
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: gifted college football and basketball, pro football, basketball, pro hockey

302
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: to almost twenty four to seven. It's an absolutely great

303
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: time of the year. So a lot of games every day,

304
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: so many opportunities to place your first bet. Now, if
