1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on? Everybody? How are we doing?

2
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: Probably not as good as Gino's need. It looked like

3
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 1: it hurt and he left the game. In the Seattle

4
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: Seahawks season felt like it ended. The Green Bay Packers

5
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: Jordan Love, Jeff Hafley, Lafleur looked like they're headed back

6
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. Actually, I mean, hell, they might have

7
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: officially clinched tonight. I'm not sure if they did. I

8
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: think the Vikings did. Actually, let's see did the Packers

9
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: And the Packers haven't officially yet, but they're ten and four.

10
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: They okay, they're head to do about twelve wins. Another

11
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: great season. A lot going on today. We will talk

12
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: about Sunday night game. Some I go on with Colin

13
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: every Sunday. So we covered a lot of stuff. But

14
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: I'll cover Mike McCarthy. Something I saw with Tua something,

15
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: John Lynch storm down to the sideline on Thursday. Drawd

16
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: Mayo in Arizona against the Cardinals. Got worked. It's his

17
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: job in trouble. A ton of injuries today. TJ. Mahomes

18
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: certain the Lions had more guys dropping like flies. I mean,

19
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: I don't think it's inconceivable. We see Carson Wentz this Saturday.

20
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: Who knows. I got a theory of maybe what they

21
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: might try to do if Mahomes is semi questionable and

22
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: be able to play next Wednesday, but might not be

23
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: able to play Saturday. But I guess we'll learn more

24
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: with all these guys over the next By the time

25
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: you're listening to this, some of these, you know, MRIs

26
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: and news could break. But we'll talk a little football.

27
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: Other than that, we'll have podcasts out. You know, we'll

28
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: be racked in the Monday night games and we got

29
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: no college football. Maybe I'll maybe I'll have Jackson on

30
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: Tuesday talk a little college football and off Stucky on

31

55
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: think a couple of weeks ago, Stuckey said something on

56
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: the podcast that I thought was was just something that

57
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: was interesting because I sometimes don't look at it this

58
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 1: way because we always talk when there's a transaction, right

59
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: when a player leaves a team and goes to a

60
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: new team, when a coach leaves a team and goes

61
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: to a new team. How is that coach or player

62
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: doing for their new team? What is going on? Is

63
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: he having success? Is he not having success? All these

64
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: guys that are about to get jobs in the NFL,

65
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: how will Ben Johnson do as coach of X? How

66
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: will Mike vrabel do as coach of X? And Stucky's like, well,

67
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: look at when Mike McDonald left the Baltimore Ravens. What

68
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: happened to the Baltimore Ravens defense. It was statistically one

69
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: of the great defenses of all time last year and

70
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: this year, minus the Giants game, it's been mainly atrocious

71
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: with the same players, same thing. With a guy like

72
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers gets traded to the Jets, I'm guilty of this.

73
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: I went the Packers are screwed. There is no way

74
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: Jordan Love is gonna be good. When does that ever happen?

75
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: Farv Rogers Love. It's like, the only time I can

76
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: think of anything even remotely close was like Montana Young Garcia,

77
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: and obviously Jordan Love will get into him in a minute.

78
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: I think it's a stud. And the Packers now have

79
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: ten wins. Last year they have nine. They won a

80
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: playoff game last year. They are going to be a

81
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: very very feisty team come to the playoffs this year.

82
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: They're a real deal. They haven't flinched at all. I

83
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: mean so separate from Rogers up and down situation, his injury,

84
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: his up and down play, like they don't even think

85
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: about him. Right where the Ravens would do anything to

86
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: have Mike McDonald back. Look at who Mike McDonald replaced

87
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: in Seattle. They have basically been the same team, give

88
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: or take, for like the last six or seven years,

89
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: win eight, nine, ten games, and when they essentially fired

90
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll last year, it's like it's gonna be hard

91
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: to replace a guy like Pete Carroll won a four

92
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: guys super Bowl National championship. Obviously as a high level coach,

93
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: they're no different. And it's not like, listen, I think

94
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: Mike's good, smart move. It was the right move, but

95
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: I think you saw tonight it's like, you know, Gino's

96
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: kind of just a guy. I would want to play

97
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: Gino in a big game, and I stand by that.

98
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: But watching that game once Gino hurt his knee and

99
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: them throw in Sam Howe, it really brought to light

100
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: the Gino's pretty good and that offensive line is atrocious

101
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: and one underrated aspect to Gino is he can move around, right.

102
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: We see it with Jordan Love. A lot of Jordan

103
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: Love's game is a lot like Aaron Rodgers. He can,

104
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: you know, when he was younger, can move around and

105
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: make plays. Sam Howe like the smaller guy who can't

106
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: really move and was just getting destroyed play after play

107
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: after play. And then when he actually made a throw

108
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: down the field felt like it went right through Sea

109
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: Green Bay defenders hands half the time, and some of

110
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: them were caught. It was like Jesus kind of brings

111
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: the light. Like Gino's pretty important, and I've been a

112
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: big believer that, Like, you know, it's time Seattle cash

113
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: in your chips, make a huge trade. Go get your Mahomes,

114
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: Go trade up to try to get your Josh Allen.

115
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: Now it's easier said than done. Who is Mahomes and

116
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen in this draft? But just do something aggressive.

117
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: I thought they should have attempted something like that last year.

118
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: Go up and get Michael Pennix. Hell, you just hired

119
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: his offensive coordinator this year. Now they haven't done it

120
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: because your guy stinks and you watched him like, eh,

121
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: actually he's not bad. Kind of understand why you like him,

122
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: because he could just keep you around eight nine, ten wins.

123
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: And as we watched anyone that watched football this morning,

124
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: you know, for me it was eleven am kickoff. A

125
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: lot of shitty team games from the Jags to the

126
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,799
Speaker 1: Giants to the Dolphin, just a lot of bad football,

127
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: a lot of bad football teams. And you go, as

128
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: long as we got Geno and some of the talent

129
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: with John Sneyder or Mike McDonald, we will be competitive

130
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: and we will have a chance in the playoffs. And

131
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: I would imagine thirty five to forty percent of the

132
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: leagueould sign up for that yesterday, for twenty twenty five,

133
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: and that's the position that the you know that Seattle

134
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: will be in. But it was very evident tonight because

135
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: now listen, they were getting their askicked. Green Bay showed

136
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: up to win. Green Bay was really impressive now rightfully,

137
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: so they had little extra buy and they came in swinging. Hell.

138
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: I was recording with Coward and by the time I

139
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: got out to the living room seven eight minutes, you know,

140
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: into the first quarter, they were already up fourteen to nothing,

141
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: and I had to look you know at halftime, like

142
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: what happened obviously, first first drive touchdown, force a punt,

143
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: next drive touchdown, It's like bang, bang boom. You're a

144
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: fourteen to nothing on the road, and the game, in

145
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: a weird way, was kind of decided from that point

146
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: because they dictated the terms of the rest of the game.

147
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: They dominated the first half. I mean dominated the first

148
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: half right up seventeen to three, but it felt like

149
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: thirty to three in the second half. The moment Gino

150
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: was hurt. If Josh Jacobs doesn't fumble the ball, that

151
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: is not a game. Because and listen, I thought Seattle

152
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: was good in the second half. They could do anything.

153
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: In the first half. Defensively they were getting smoke left

154
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: and right, and in the second half, Leonard Williams feels

155
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: like one of the more underappreciated players in the NFL.

156
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: That guy is a stud. That guy, that guy could

157
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: play for my team any day of the week. And

158
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: their defense was just much more physical, stopping the run,

159
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: hitting guys, forcing the fumble. But offensively they had nothing.

160
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: And you know, that fumble led to a Charbonna big

161
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: run was a big moment in the game. But other

162
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: than that, like Seattle had no chance and to go

163
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: on the road like that, Green Bay. And listen, I'm

164
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: a Jordan love Stan. I think that's what the kids say, right,

165
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: I'm a sucker for talent and the arm the movement. Now, listen,

166
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: fundamental is great. No throws on his back foot a lot,

167
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: but throws absolute bebies and when he's on his touchdown

168
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: passes are as beautiful as they get. That's what I

169
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: want my quarterback to look like. Movement, scramble ability, sit

170
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: in the pocket and throw a seed twenty to thirty

171
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: yards down the field. Obviously Green Bay and this gets

172
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: back to the Rogers thing when he had a big

173
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: issue with Gutikins. It's like this situation where they're at

174
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 1: is really a testament to the organization how well they

175
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: build teams. Like all those young wide receivers. I mean

176
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: they traded DeVante Adams and Aaron Rodgers in a twelve

177
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: month span and two years later are probably gonna win

178
00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 1: twelve games. And you watch like, how many teams the

179
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: league with a young offensive roster would you take over theirs?

180
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: It has to be on a short list, right, but

181
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: their general manager and sometimes you got to make let's

182
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: face it. Their organization, at least in the last twenty years,

183
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: is defined by making quote unquote controversial picks at quarterback.

184
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: They did it with Rogers when they drafted him twenty

185
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: fourth and they had Brett Farv And they did it

186
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: again with Aaron Rodgers when they took Jordan Love, who

187
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: I think was picked twenty seven, either twenty seven or

188
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: twenty nine, but one of those two picks, and everyone freaked.

189
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: And I'm sure you know I was in college with Rogers,

190
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: but this one I thought was crazy too. And several

191
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: years later it was one hundred percent the right move.

192
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: And now the Packers are in a position because they

193
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: also fired Mike McCarthy, who will get into in a second.

194
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: It's really good coach who knows what he's doing, and

195
00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: hired a guy who's excellent. And obviously Lafour was a

196
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 1: part of the Jordan Love pick as well, because you're

197
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: not going to draft a quarterback with an offensive coach

198
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: without having him on board and the development and the coaching. Like,

199
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: to me, Jordan Love is everything I want in a

200
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: quarterback prospect, especially when he's a raw project, right from

201
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: the size, from the arm strength, from the movement ability,

202
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: like you don't need to be Lamar Jackson or Kyler Murray. Right,

203
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: but in this modern day NFL, and you saw it

204
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: today with the Lions, and listen, Jared Goff was awesome.

205
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: I think he threw well over four hundred yards. I

206
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: didn't see his final numbers. I think five touchdowns. I

207
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: think chefter road. He's he threw five picks and lost.

208
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: He threw five touchdowns or five picks and one five

209
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: touchdowns and lost. But like Rogers, every or loves everything

210
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: I'm looking for, and the organization believed in it and

211
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: they bet on it, and now they're benefiting from it.

212
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: And from an intangible standpoint, we saw him get hurt,

213
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: we saw him battle through injuries, we saw him play injured. Obviously,

214
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: by all accounts, he's a super high character, good guy.

215
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: You are so lucky to be a backer fan. I mean, seriously,

216
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: this has been going on, like no matter what age

217
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 1: group you're in. If you're fifty, it's basically your whole life.

218
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: If you're my age, basically your whole life. If you're twenty,

219
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: it's all you know. If you're twenty eight, all you know.

220
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: You have to be like sixty to really truly probably

221
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: remember like the tough times in the seventies and eighties.

222
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: Other than that, like your football life is fucking incredible.

223
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: It doesn't get any better. It doesn't In part of

224
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: being an incredible football life doesn't mean you win the

225
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: Super Bowl every year. Hell, you guys have won two

226
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: and since far have showed up, you've only been to three.

227
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: But every single year a little like the Steelers, but

228
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: the differences between you and the Steelers, like they're kind

229
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: of winning now. Not quite the same as when Big

230
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 1: Ben was in his prime. I mean, you saw Russell

231
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: today without pickings. Look the little meh Like, listen, sometimes

232
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: your defense over the last fifteen years has let you down.

233
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: No one's ever questioned the quarterback or the offensive prowess.

234
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: And now new group just like it always was, Like

235
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: you know, Donald Driver got old, then Jordy Nelson got old,

236
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: and then Devanta Adams left, and now you got Dobbs,

237
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: you got Red, you got Watson. It's like, oh yeah,

238
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 1: wellso ed Josh Jacobs, right, we know you draft good

239
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: offensive lineman and now you have this quarterback who is

240
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: what twenty six, twenty seven years old, is just fucking

241
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: awesome and listen, he throws some picks. I say this

242
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: all the time. With interceptions. I got no problem if

243
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: you throw interceptions, as long as you throw a lot

244
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: of touchdowns. Far through far through interceptions help Peyton Manner

245
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: through interceptions, they threw a lot of touchdowns, and that's

246
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: what this guy does. He's an explosive player down the field.

247
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: So I just think your organization even look in your division.

248
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: You know, Goodakins has been there forever before that Ted

249
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: Thompson had been there forever. Your success always comes with

250
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: like high level offensive coaches. In the nineties, it was

251
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: home Grin. In most of the late two thousands, twenty tens,

252
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: it was McCarthy and now it's Lafleor, who's gonna be

253
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: there for a long time with his quarterback Jordan Love.

254
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: And I just think, like you look at your division.

255
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: The Lions are having a fantastic season, which is kind

256
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: of falling apart because of the injuries. When I say

257
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: falling apart, I just mean like big picture, like how

258
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: are they going to keep this thing together? But we're

259
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: gonna learn over the next couple of years. What's it

260
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: gonna look like when Dan Campbell loses his coordinators. It's

261
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: impossible for you to lose your offensive coordinator. The Bears

262
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: are a joke, right. The Vikings are having a fun year,

263
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: but they got a big quarterback question this offseason. What

264
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: do they do? Like? What are your question marks? Seriously, like,

265
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: we just need better personnel. Keep drafting defense. I know

266
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: you can build the offense now. Big picture this year,

267
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: can they win the NFC? I think they can go

268
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: toe to toe with anybody. I mean, clearly, they have

269
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: been in a lot big games. Last year they went

270
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: toe to toe with the forty nine ers. They easily

271
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: could have won that game on the road. Tonight I

272
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: thought was a pretty big gut check game on the road.

273
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: Their fans travel exceptionally well. Seattle for the last decade

274
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: plus has been one of the better home field advantage

275
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: and their chanting gopack go during that game. And how

276
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: you supposed to most teams. I say this all the

277
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: time when people get ben out of shape about their dbs.

278
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: Most teams maybe have one good corner. If you're lucky,

279
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: you got two. If you have three good corners meeting

280
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: your nickel as well, like you're you're living a first

281
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: class life. So when you have that many wide receivers

282
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: who can all do different things, who can all it

283
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: feels like run. I mean, Watson can fly even read

284
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: on the one that Love that they ended up getting

285
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: stuffed on the fourth down, but on the third down

286
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: he's wide open there and Love just threw a seat.

287
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: He just slipped. They're good route runners, they're good playmakers.

288
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: Your tight ends a stud. He had a sweet catch

289
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: today on a classic like Rogers, one of those guy

290
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: jumps off sides. I feel like Jordan is a carbon

291
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: copy of his movements, his mannerisms, the flick of the

292
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: wrist that play when they snap it, same thing Rogers

293
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: would have done, like him sitting for those several years,

294
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: which never happens anymore, and rightfully so, if I'm a fan,

295
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: if I'm a coach, if I'm an owner, we don't

296
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: got three years, and usually we don't have Aaron Rodgers.

297
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: So it's just a situation that's very very rare, like

298
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: those days are, And honestly, it didn't even happen that

299
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: much way back in the day, like it was unheard

300
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: of when Carson Palmer sat for a year in like

301
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: two thousand and two behind John Kittna with the Cincinnati Bengals.

302
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: But this guy's welcome to the NFL moment, sitting learning

303
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: from the floor, learning a complicated offense and then getting

304
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: to kind of ease into it in a weird way,

305
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: but peak at the right time. And now you watch

306
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: him right now, just like last year, when did he

307
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: peak end of the season. When's he playing good football

308
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: right now into the season? My only issue them last

309
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: week in Green Bay, as they started slow. Once he

310
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 1: got into a rhythm in that second half, it felt

311
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: like every single drive they were gonna score, cause like,

312
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:08,719
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? They could run an out

313
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: route get a first down, They could run a go

314
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: route and get a touchdown immediately. They can do something

315
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: over the middle of the field and the guy can

316
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: break another twenty yards. They could bust an eight twelve

317
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: yard run any given play. They can hit the tight

318
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 1: end down the seam at any moment, like they kind

319
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 1: of got it all. And when you get him in

320
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: a situation like tonight and they get some rhythm and

321
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:31,360
Speaker 1: moving early in that game, like Jesus, and then they

322
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: just you know, the defense half Ley's good hire And

323
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people made a big deal.

324
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this the other day. This is

325
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: what I think about when I'm like in the car

326
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: driving around, is everyone made a big deals, Like Halflee

327
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: he left Boston College to be a defensive coordinator. Well,

328
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what Jeff Haffley was making at

329
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,719
Speaker 1: Boston College. If I had to guess, let's say he

330
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: was making four million dollars. Well, let's say the Green

331
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: Bay Packers call him and say, because half we probably knew,

332
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: you know, decent chance I get fired in a year

333
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: if we don't win, Well, hey, we'll give you a

334
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: three year, ten million dollar contract. So you take a

335
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: little haircut. Well, when you factor in the taxes, the

336
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: cost of living and everything, the money isn't that much different.

337
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: And I'm giving you extension from where you have, and

338
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: I'm putting you in a position where a team's going

339
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,479
Speaker 1: to be good. If it goes well, you can then

340
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: become an NFL head coach, let alone get a better

341
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 1: college job. So I think everyone freaked out about Jeff

342
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: Hafley leaving. It's not like he was taking ten million

343
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: and the Packers offered him two million. That's not what

344
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: happened financially, My educated guess, probably not a big difference

345
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: if there is one at all when you factor in everything.

346
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: And honestly, it wouldn't shock me if he makes the

347
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: exact same that he made of Boston College. But that's

348
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 1: a good hire. And he got a lot of shit

349
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: last year because he kept Joe Barry around. And that's

350
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: the hard part about football. Just like any company, when

351
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 1: you hire a friend and you're the boss and it's

352
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: not working out now, it's no different, you know. I

353
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: I have a lot of friends that own small businesses

354
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: that have like or had partners where you have to

355
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: break up. It's tough. These aren't easy situations, but most

356
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: of those in our society aren't public. Besides, like your

357
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: close friends, the people you work with in your family,

358
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: you don't really know about it, right, We're in an

359
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: NFL team, like everyone kind of knows about it, so

360
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: it's under a magnify last year, Sirianni, one of the

361
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: coaches he fired when the Eagles fired a bunch of

362
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: their staff, was the best man at his wedding. I mean,

363
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: you get these jobs, you bring on your friends or

364
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: people that you believe in or close with. Like, I

365
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: don't blame you. I would do that too. You need

366
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: people you can trust. It's why it took Sean McVeigh

367
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: so many years to name Chris Shula, who's not some

368
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: random who's been coaching for a long time in the NFL,

369
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: whose dad was a coach and grampa was Don Shula

370
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: to name him the coach, because he's like, listen, we're

371
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 1: we've known each other, we played college football together, and

372
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: I don't want this to be weird, and if it

373
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: goes wrong, like ultimately, I would have to fire you.

374
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: And you can be put in a weird situation really

375
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: really fast. And it's working. He fired his buddy Joe Berry.

376
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: He hired Halfley, which I don't know how well he

377
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: knew him. Halfley had worked under Kyle for a couple

378
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: of years, so there was a lot of you know,

379
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: Lafleur's brother was on the Niner staff, so there was connection.

380
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: There's a good move, and Seattle ultimately screwed. I think

381
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 1: if Geno's out for any foreseeable future, yeah, it would

382
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: just be a rap. Nothing you can do. So Seattle

383
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: plays Minnesota next week, I think that's a loss. Then

384
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: they go to at Chicago and at the Ramps. I

385
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: could easily see them losing two of three games, finishing

386
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: nine to eight and missing the playoffs because now with

387
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 1: Washington winning, which they easily could have lost when Spencer

388
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: Ratler led him on that game winning drive and then

389
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 1: they went for two, which is the right move. My

390
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: only issue with the two point play in that game

391
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: is when you run a two point play. And I'm

392
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: not trying to act like I know better than these

393
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: offensive coordinators, but it's just basic math. When you're at

394
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 1: or in the red zone, but just at a two

395
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: point play, you're at the two yard line. You only

396
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,479
Speaker 1: have so much room to go right, so the field

397
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: is a lot wider than it is long. So when

398
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: you run like a quick you know, like a rollout

399
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 1: sprint out play, not only do you not have that

400
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: much field to go length wise, you cut half the width.

401
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: So your margin to throw is not that much. If

402
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 1: you run that play at the fifty yard line, I

403
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: can always stop, throw across my body, maybe run back.

404
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: I can't really do much on a two point play

405
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: in that situation, and they ran out and the guy

406
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 1: wasn't really open. I just think you limit your option. Now,

407
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: maybe they felt that was one of their better two

408
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: point plays, but long winded way of saying, like the

409
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: almost called them the football team. I think I read

410
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: that the Redskins might be coming back with a name,

411
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: but they're the Commanders right now. They're the only team

412
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 1: that's had like seven names in four years. But that's

413
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: a huge win because they basically feel like a lock

414
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 1: to get to ten games, and if they get to

415
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: ten wins, they will just be the seventh seed. Now.

416
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: I also think that's a huge advantage to whoever the

417
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: two seed is, which feels like the winner of Minnesota,

418
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: Detroit or Philly. We'll see how this plays out. But

419
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 1: you get Washington like they're one and done and you

420
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 1: had to play Green Bay or Minnesota the Lions, like

421
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 1: that's a different animal at the five or six. So Seattle,

422
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: I think they've definitely made progress. They feel like a

423
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: better team than the last couple of years with Pete Carroll,

424
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: but they're getting the same result. And I think you

425
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: saw to night for a half. I don't know if

426
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: that's totally on Gino. Their offensive line felt and it

427
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: wasn't exactly Reggie White and Gilbert Brown rubbed the middle.

428
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: Though Green Bay's got good defensive players, they were just

429
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: overwhelming them every play they had, they had no shot.

430
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: Sam Howell looked like me back there. He looked small

431
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: and he just crumbled like a cookie because they were

432
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: coming from to attack him from every angle. He had

433
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: nowhere to go. And one underrated part about geno is

434
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: geno can move. You know, the Geno's not Kirk Cousins

435
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: or Jared Goff. Like he's a good athlete. He throws

436
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: well in the run. And a lot of Seattle people

437
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: were tweeting at me like John, like that's a huge

438
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 1: geno mass a lot of our problems with our offensive line.

439
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 1: So congrats to the Packers. Packers organization just keep on

440
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: rolling down the tracks. Meanwhile, Rogers and Devonte throwback game

441

475
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: Let's go through some other things. I think a lot

476
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: of people thought Jerry was just being Jerry when he

477
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: threw out that Mike McCarthy could easily get an extension

478
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 1: several weeks ago on his radio show, And in fairness,

479
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,719
Speaker 1: I don't blame anyone for thinking that. Jerry talks multiple

480
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: times a week and says all sorts of stuff, and

481
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: then you start watching his team play and I get like,

482
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: it was the Commanders, it was the Giants, it was

483
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 1: the Bengals, and today it was the Panthers. But they

484
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 1: have looked really good, and they are a guy who

485
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: was called up from the practice squad in the middle

486
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: of the week screwing up that block punt away from

487
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: winning four straight games. And if Dak was playing the

488
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: whole time, I'd be like, you're not getting that much credit.

489
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: They're doing this with their backup quarterback, who, while he

490
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: played really well today, has stretches in games where you go,

491
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 1: how's this guy in the NFL? And the story that

492
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: came out this morning with Steven Jones, I don't know

493
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: who he said this to, so sorry if I'm not

494
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 1: giving you credit. As the Big Jays say is that

495
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: we will entertain everything this offseason because clearly we're all

496
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: in on Dak and all in on CD, kind of eluding,

497
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 1: and he said Micah's name, Like, obviously, Micah is an

498
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 1: elite player and good teams keep players like him in

499
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: how but we have to entertain everything Financially, I started

500
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: thinking what would they get from Micah Parsons? And I

501
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: think his comp You watch him today, he looked awesome

502
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: flying around and he's been good since he came back,

503
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: and he's the type player when you have that type

504
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: skill as an outside pass rusher, like you're getting two

505
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: ones in a two and in their position where they

506
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: are so devoid of talent. It's tough because the whole point.

507
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 1: And I saw this when the Raiders traded Khalil Mack,

508
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: and financially it was a little different, Like Mark Davis

509
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: at the time just didn't have the ninety million cash.

510
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 1: The Cowboys just basically would be a three man team

511
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 1: if they did this. Obviously, Jerry has the cash to

512
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: pay him, but it's a similar thing. The whole point

513
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: of a draft, beside like drafting to find your star quarterback,

514
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: is to literally find guys like Micah Parsons or Khalil

515
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 1: Mack in the draft, especially when you have a high

516
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: first round pick, because that's called nail the pick. So

517
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: I'm usually against, like, what's the whole point of this

518
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 1: whole thing? But given the way they've built their team

519
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: and their financial constraints, I think you would have to

520
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: think long and hard about it. Now. The problem is

521
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,479
Speaker 1: in this draft, for example, all my buddies say, not

522
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 1: a super loaded top fifteen. This isn't a bunch of

523
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: Trent Williams and Lane Johnson's and you know, Nick Bosa's

524
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: and Jalen Carters and Aaron Donald's in this thing. There aren't.

525
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of people view a lot

526
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: of Micah Parsons in this draft, so that has to

527
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: factor in, and then you have to look around part

528
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: of trading Micah Parsons, like when the Raiders traded Khalil

529
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: mack Is. You trade them in, that team immediately gives them,

530
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: you know, a Nick Bosa level contract. So these trades

531
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: aren't as simple as just trade me for the player, right,

532
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: I have to trade and have a contract worked out

533
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: before the trade is done. So me and the team

534
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: have to agree on the compensation, and then Micah and

535
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: his agent have to agree on the compensation. They're willing

536
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: to pay him on the salary, but I think they are.

537
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: And this is what I do appreciate about the Jones family.

538
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: I think they're being pretty authentic lately. I think Mike

539
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: McCarthy is gonna get extended because in what world if

540
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: he does well with Dak and does well with the

541
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: quarterback and Cleary's a good coach, and I think most

542
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: universally around the NFL people to talk about the NFL

543
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: people in the league agree like this season is more

544
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: on Jerry than on Mike. Mike's a good coach and

545
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: if you fire him, like who are you hiring? So

546
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: I think Mike McCarthy will be the coach. And I've

547
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: had people ask me, are we sure Mike McCarthy wants

548
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: that job? Wouldn't he have other options. I think there's

549
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: something pretty special of being the coach of the Cowboys.

550
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: It's my issue with brock Perty. It's like brock Perty's

551
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: not taking a discount. Well, brock, who wants to trade

552
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: for you? Where are your other options? If we offer

553
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: you one hundred million dollars guaranteed, who's offering you more

554
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,479
Speaker 1: than that? We'll let you test the market.

555
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 3: Have at it.

556
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: Because I talked to Colin about this, and I was

557
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: thinking about it during the Sunday night game when they've

558
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: had knockdown dragouts with some of their guys. Trent Williams

559
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: wanted to raise, McCaffrey wanted to raise, but like Deebo

560
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: held out, I Uke held out, Bosa held out. Teams

561
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: wanted to trade for those guys. The Jets offered pick

562
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: ten at the time for Deebo. The entire league would

563
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: have traded multiple ones for Nick Bosa. They had like

564
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: three or four trade offers on the table for Brandon

565
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: aiyuk Amari Cooper in a second straight up, the Pats

566
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: were like a two and a three. I think the

567
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: UH I don't know exactly know what the Pittsburgh Steelers offered,

568
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: but they were all offered, and they were offering to pay,

569
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: Like who am I bidding against? Like if I'm Michael

570
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: Parsons who were negotiating contract, Like I'm not just bidding

571
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: with Michael Party, I'm bidding against the league. If I'm

572
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: on the fence about like what I trade him? Because

573
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: other teams would trade him and he knows that. But

574
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about brock Pritty, Like who am I bidding against?

575
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: I can't give you a Daniel Jones. We like you

576
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: a lot, we want you to be a starting quarterback.

577
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: We're not giving you two or Trevor Lawrence contract. I

578
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: don't give a fuck. What's your agent wants to argue,

579
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: We'll just hang up. We just won't do a deal,

580
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: Like who are we bidding against? It was my issue

581
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: last year with two, Like who you guys betten against?

582
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: I don't Trevor Lawrence two hundred million dollars. Now, there

583
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: would have been teams before this season that would have

584
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: gladly traded for Trevor Lawrence based on the hype and

585
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: based on previous stuff, and that would have been the

586
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: wrong move, but he would have had a market. So

587
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: what I always said about Danie Jones, like who he

588
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: has been against. Even Dak didn't love the contract. Don't

589
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: love the contract, but like other teams would have wanted him.

590
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: The Raiders would have gladly taken Deck, the Giants would

591
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: gladly take him. People want pretty, people would want McCarthy.

592
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: You're telling me the Bears wouldn't want Mike McCarthy immediately

593
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: to work with Caleb Williams their offense and just run

594
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: their team. Would Mike McCarthy be the best coach they've

595
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: had since Ditka? I mean, what are we talking about?

596
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 3: So?

597
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: I think Jerry's no idiot. I was thinking about this

598
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: watching toa today. I'm sure, like many people have known

599
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: people that have dealt with addiction issues and been either

600
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: forced to go to rehab or gone to rehab on

601
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: their own. And one thing you learned during that process,

602
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: whether it's a family member or a friend, is like,

603
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: the only way you have a chance to kick whatever

604
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: you want to kick or whatever you need to kick

605
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: to keep your life going, essentially, is you have to

606
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: believe it. Like you have to believe it's time to change,

607
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: you have to want to change and listen, I've never

608
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: been an individual that's struggle with addictions. So that push

609
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: and pull inside. I can't imagine what that's like for

610
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: an individual, but it's pretty clear like, if you want

611
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: to change, you have a chance for rehabilitation to work.

612
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: But if you do not want to change, it usually

613
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: doesn't stick. No matter how high priced whatever center I

614
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: send you to, it ain't gonna stick long, and you'll

615
00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: just fall right off the wagon and go back to

616
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: exactly who you were. I was thinking about this today.

617
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: Kind of a crazy analogy given that I'm talking about

618
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: a guy with concussions, but to a ton of I

619
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: looa Today I'm watching the game, like ten games going

620
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: this morning. Most of them were god awful. Honestly, the

621
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: best game of the morning was really the Jets or

622
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: the Jags. But I'm just kind of hate watching Texans Dolphins.

623
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: I despise the Dolphins. I don't like anything they stand for,

624
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: you know, with McDaniel, the franchise, the team, the way

625
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: they've built this team, the money they invested into their quarterback.

626
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: I just I can't take any of it. But I

627
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: do respect to his love of football, and when every

628
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: human being told him to quit and retire, He's just like,

629
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: fuck you is my life, And I respect that I

630
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: think the same way, like, don't fucking tell me what

631
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: to do. Leave me alone, whether he's right or wrong, Like,

632
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: it's his decision. It's not on me or you or

633
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: anyone else, his coach, his own or whatever. It's on him.

634
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: It's him and his family's decision. But if he's gonna

635
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: play like, you kind of gotta be smart and you're

636
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: not exactly Lamar Kayler. So when you run around like

637
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: you got to be extra careful. And there was a

638
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 1: play today where he was diving for a first down,

639
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: which ironically would not have counted because there was a

640
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 1: holding and he got a ten yard penalty. But there

641
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: were two defenders, you know, bearing down on him against

642
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 1: a pretty physical defense in Houston. That's the team when

643
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: you watch Texans who have underwhelmed a little bit this season,

644
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: which banded up clinching the division on December six fifteenth.

645
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: We're coming right for him and he dives headfirst for

646
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: him and he gets cracked by two guys and it's like, listen,

647
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: maybe he, in theory wants to change, I guess, but

648
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: you watch him play, he hasn't changed at all. There

649
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: was a play earlier when he came back about him

650
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 1: attempting to make a tackle today, there was a similar

651
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: opportunity on one of his interceptions that he pulled up.

652
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: But that play, it's like he's just gonna play like

653
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: he plays, and maybe in this scenario there's nothing he

654
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: can do. It's like muscle memory, right, you just get

655
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: out there and play. You're not even thinking. You're just reacting,

656
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 1: which is ideally how any coach wants a football player

657
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: to be. Right, is not thinking because the moment you think,

658
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 1: you play slower. So I want you to play. And

659
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: maybe this is just embedded in his body. But like

660
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna happen again. It's not avoidable if he's

661
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: gonna play like this. No matter how soft and how

662
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: many regulations have come in that we want to change

663
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: the rules, people still get destroyed. There was a dude

664
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: in that game on a ball. Was that game or

665
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: was the Indie game? Yeah, it was the Dolphin game.

666
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: Dou came over the middle cracked, had to be carted off.

667
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: I mean it was. It was a tough scene they had.

668
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: It looked like they had to cut his pads off.

669
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 1: He was shirtless on the on the gurney. God hope

670
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 1: he lives. It's a violent game. People run really fast.

671
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 1: All these guys, all the defensive linemen are two hundred

672
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: and eighty to three hundred and forty pounds. They all

673
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: are elite athletes. Most linebackers now are not like two

674
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,879
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty pounds anymore. They're like two thirty five

675
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: two forty and they all run four forwards and four fives.

676
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,919
Speaker 1: Every dB is hauling ass. They have zero percent body fat,

677
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: and they're all muscle, and the overwhelming majority of them

678
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: will lower their shoulder and fuck you up. So it's

679
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: like if he's gonna play, like we just have to acknowledge,

680
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: like at any moment, that's gonna happen again. And like

681
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm just not making a big deal. He wants to play.

682
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: It is what it is. He's not really changing. Maybe

683
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 1: he can't change, uh, but just get ready for it. Uh.

684
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of stories the last I would

685
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: say week or two about Patriots are cool, like they're

686
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: gonna no matter what happens. They're with girod Mail Gerrod

687
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: Mayo is going to be their coach. And then there

688
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 1: were a couple of stories over the last like forty

689
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: eight three four days I was gonna see seventy two.

690
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: If I was gonna go forty eight, what's how do

691
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: I do? Three days? It's seventy two hours? Did Jonathan

692
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: Craft has been calling around that he has taken and

693
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 1: this is well reported last year with Belichick taking a

694
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 1: heavy hand in the organization, and there was a scene

695
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: today where I forget exactly what happened on the field,

696
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,280
Speaker 1: but they panned a Craft who sits next to Jonathan

697
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 1: every single game. It's two of them, and Jonathan's kind

698
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: of ranting and Raven clearly pissed off, thinking he has

699
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 1: the idea of what would have been a better play.

700
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 1: And they were getting house by the Cardinals, who are

701
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: not very good, and the Patriots were never in that game.

702
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: They looked atrocious, and you're thinking to yourself, is he

703
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: gonna survive? Because this organization, the future of it, not

704
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: just the near future, but the long term future all

705
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: rides on the quarterback, and right now you have he

706
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: was an excellent player, he really was team captain leader.

707
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: Then he becomes a coach and then last year does

708
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 1: shady shit with you know, behind Belichick back whatever. Welcome

709
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: to the corporate world. You're always backstabbing, trying to move

710
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:07,240
Speaker 1: your way up. Be a ladder climber. You get your spot,

711
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 1: regardless of how you did it. They said they would

712
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: have hired him five years ago, but when he gets

713
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: the spot, he looks completely lost. Even when Belichick's team

714
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: last year was atrocious, at least you knew based on

715
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: his resume he does know what he's doing. If he

716
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: has a good team, I would be pretty concerned if

717
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: I'm a Pats fan. And you have to wonder if

718
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: like these they still play the Bills twice. It could

719
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: and the Bills, you know, depending on what happens to

720
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 1: the Chiefs over these next couple of weeks. There's a

721
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: lot on the line, so it could get really, really ugly,

722
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,280
Speaker 1: and you have to wonder, like Jonathan Kraft, is this young,

723
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: hungry he'd execute anybody. Hell, he wanted to fire Belichick's

724
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 1: been well reported two years ago. But luckily Pops, you know,

725
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: not luckily. I don't really care. I'm not a Patriot guy.

726
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: But Dad wouldn't allow it. And there's still, I'm sure

727
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 1: a push and pull because of the family business. But

728
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: the older Robert gets, the more he gives it to Jonathan.

729
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: You just have to wonder is girod Mail safe because

730
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,479
Speaker 1: I'd have to say, you watch his team play today,

731
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: you're like, holy shit, this is ugly. One thing I

732
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: would say about Dan Campbell is it's thirty eight to

733
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: twenty eight. His defense is riddled with injuries. Like it's

734
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what the NFL record is for starters

735
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: and backups and just high end players getting injured and

736
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: your team still dominating. But it has to be a

737
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: pretty small list. It really does. And by today they

738
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: lose McNeil, one of their last standing defensive linemen. They

739
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: lose Carlton Davis, a guy they paid a lot of

740
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 1: money this offseason. Campbell said, both to probably season ending injuries.

741
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 1: Your def is not gonna stop the best player in

742
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: the league. So my first reaction was like, in what

743
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: world is he onside kicking? And then I started thinking

744
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: a little bit like last week, like what else is

745
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: he gonna do? His defense has no chance to stop

746
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 1: these guys, absolutely none. The only chance he has is

747
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 1: maybe getting an on side kick. Now, unlike previous years,

748
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: before the new kickoff rule, you could do a surprise

749
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: on sidekick. So now when you do an on side kick,

750
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: they're much more prepared. My overall take with an on sidekick,

751
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 1: when everyone knows it's coming, it just feels so unlikely

752
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 1: that it ever even gets close to being recovered. I

753
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: would say, this just got feel. This just does a

754
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: football consumer. Ninety percent of the time, it's like easily

755
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 1: corralled by the other team, and then there's that five

756
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 1: percent where there's one weird bounce but it's not that close.

757
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: And then there's that couple percent where it's kind of

758
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: up in the air, and then the one or two

759
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: two percent works recovered. Obviously, today at backfires because mac

760
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 1: Hollins is aggressive, takes it almost scores, and the Bills

761
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: score a couple of plays later. I mean, that's that

762
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: final score. Forty eight forty two has to be one

763
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:20,479
Speaker 1: of the more misleading scores I would say of the year,

764
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 1: because it would say that it was an exciting close game,

765
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,439
Speaker 1: and for the most part, I did not feel that way.

766
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 1: Once you get a big lead and you're scoring every down,

767
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 1: you kind of start playing prevent, which is tough because

768
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 1: then the Lions are so elite at scoring and Jared

769
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: Goff is really good. When you don't hit Jared Goff,

770
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna make you pay when you do hit him.

771
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 1: He's a lot like Kirk Cousins. He's a lot like

772
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: you know, any pocket quarterback. He's gonna be in trouble

773
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: because he can't add it, so he has to make

774
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: throws within in the pocket. Early in that game, Buffalo

775
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 1: is getting after his ass pretty sure. They sacked him

776
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: three times in the first half, definitely a couple and

777
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 1: they were just hitting him and he kind of turned

778
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: into old average Jared Goff. And then as the game

779
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: goes on, I don't have the numbers in front of me,

780
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: but start playing prevent not being as aggressive, and he

781
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: starts slicing, dicing you one. He made some great plays,

782
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 1: I mean the touchdown he threw to Saint Brown over

783
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 1: a couple defender's head. Saint Brown just took it with sweet.

784
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: But Josh Allen was a man amongst points. And listen,

785
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: everyone is on their knee circle Jerk and Ben Johnson.

786
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: It's like, this guy's the greatest coordinator since Andy Reid,

787
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,439
Speaker 1: who actually looks really slim by the way, Coach Reid.

788
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: Coach look at Coach Reid. The tweet or the instagram

789
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,839
Speaker 1: that the Chiefs put out about his postgame, Andy looks great.

790
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 1: You know, Bill Walsh, Mike Shanahan equals Kyle sh Ben Johnson.

791
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 1: It's like lest Ben Johnson is good. We have seen

792
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 1: a lot of coordinators over the years be good as

793
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator. There is absolutely zero guarantee that any

794
00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: of that translates. Pat Shermer was the offensive coordinat for

795
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings with case Keenum and they were awesome

796
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: on offense. How's that work out when he became the

797
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: head coach? So this notion that he's some locke to

798
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 1: be some awesome guy the way he's talked about, it's

799
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: just not the way coaching works. But why don't we

800
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: say the same thing about Joe Brady. I'm watching Joe

801
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,399
Speaker 1: Brady Ken Dorsey gets fired last year. Ever since je

802
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: Brady's taken over, their running game with Cook has been awesome.

803
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, you could argue, not just this year, but

804
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 1: even like the last couple games of last year, best

805
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,879
Speaker 1: player in the NFL. And I never hear his name

806
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: mentioned at all. Same thing with like Liam Cohen the

807
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:39,479
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers after the same thing everyone, and listen,

808
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 1: I get it. A lot of these media guys they

809
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: love Raheem Morris, like Raheem Morris because you know McVeigh

810
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: and his little cronies and they all kind of like

811
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: they hype guys up. And I get it, like if

812
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: you know a guy, totally understand hyping him up. But

813
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 1: like that fucking thing's a disaster. Even if they win

814
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 1: tomorrow against the Raiders, there's still a game back at

815
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,879
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, who more than likely are going to win

816
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: that division and be in the playoffs again. No one

817
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: ever talks about Todd Bowles, no one ever. All I

818
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: heard is Raheem Morris. For six months, I've never heard

819
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 1: anyone mentioned Todd Bowles name one. It is amazing. And

820
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: this happens during the draft as well. In this business

821
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 1: in football, what hype does for you when you get

822
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 1: the hype machine behind your hype machine and listen, I'll

823
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 1: say this about Ben Johnson's been doing it for a

824
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: couple of years at a high level, so it's deserved hype.

825
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 1: But people talk about when he gets a job, it's

826
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 1: a lock to work. That's just not the way it works.

827
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: But some guys like it's impossible. What do you have

828
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:39,879
Speaker 1: to do to get anyone to mention Liam Cullen's name.

829
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 1: It's hard to ever find anyone to be like, you

830
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: know what, Mike McCarthy's pretty good at his job. Mike

831
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: mcarthy called good place. Mike McCarthy's a good offensive mind.

832
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 1: I never hear anyone say.

833
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 3: That, you know, Todd Bowles pretty good, doing a pretty

834
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 3: good job, head coach, pretty impressive, just deaf, like you

835
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,320
Speaker 3: can't hear anything but it's happening.

836
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: This is one of my favorite stories. Is on Thursday.

837
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 1: Jay Glazer reported today that John Lynch, so sometimes when

838
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 1: a guy gets injured during a game, the trainer or

839
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 1: someone down on the field will text up to the

840
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: GM and let him know so and so sprained ankle

841
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 1: out for the games, or just update him clearly. Someone

842
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: during the game, potentially at halftime updates John Lynch, like

843
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 1: de and Andre Campbell, will not enter the game. John

844
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 1: Lynch comes down to the sideline, confronts de Andre Campbell,

845
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 1: starts calling him out, and eventually when he went to

846
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:48,360
Speaker 1: the locker room. This Jay Glazer's reporting John Lynch, Jay's

847
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 1: good buddies with John told him to leave and something

848
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:57,800
Speaker 1: in the NFL like listen most competitive lot of Money

849
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: online industries, people are gonna yell at each other. I

850
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 1: kind of like that, Like sometimes you should be a

851
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: little uncomfortable in situations high achievement, Like people should be

852
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,839
Speaker 1: on your ass. I want people on my ass. It's

853
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: like part of the way the world works. People should

854
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: be a little edgy. It's part of life. But in football,

855
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:18,800
Speaker 1: most of those people, like bosses in the real world,

856
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 1: are kind of small nerds, right. They're not a threat

857
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 1: to beat you up. They might be a threat to

858
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 1: fire you. They might be a threat to make you

859
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: pack up your office and leave, which sucks and makes

860
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 1: everyone angry and makes you want to fight the guy,

861
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,879
Speaker 1: but don't end up fighting the guy, and that guy

862
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 1: is never gonna fight you. But in football, think how

863
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: often how many guys on a sideline, even if the

864
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: head coach isn't how many former players are on his sideline.

865
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 1: And think about front offices. And I saw it with scouts.

866
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: A lot of former players are in front offices. A

867
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: lot of former players or even just former college players

868
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 1: are general managers. And John Lynch is a Hall of fame.

869
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: Ask kicking safety, Like, you kind of got to be

870
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 1: a little crazy to do these jobs. Now, not everyone

871
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 1: like Howie Roseman ain't fighting Jalen Carter and listen, I'm

872
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: not even saying John Lynch would have won the Devandre.

873
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: But like, part of being good at this job is

874
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 1: not just about having the intellectual capacity, being smart, being aggressive,

875
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: being good at football, being good with people like you

876
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: gotta be a little fucking nuts. And I remember hearing

877
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: stories when I got to Philly about Andy and a

878
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 1: former offensive lineman getting into a shoving match. This is,

879
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:36,400
Speaker 1: you know, twenty years ago in uh well, before I

880
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 1: even got there, and listen, and he never played in

881
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: the NFL. But Andy just had a big, dude, agile

882
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 1: former offensive lineman at BYU and a lot of these

883
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 1: I remember meeting Jason light for the first time in person,

884
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,720
Speaker 1: Like dude played college football. Like these guys are big,

885
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 1: these Odsie do some Hall of Famer like this gotta

886
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:59,479
Speaker 1: be a little nuts And I just love that. And yeah,

887
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 1: I just thought it was a cool story. Other than that,

888
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: a couple of big NFL injuries before we get out

889
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 1: of here. Listen, I don't have any information beside what

890
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 1: has been tweeted out or Florio wrote or said. On

891
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football, TJ. Watt foot sprain. If he misses

892
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: several games, like they'd be in major trouble. They play

893
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 1: the Ravens here in five days or six days, then

894
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 1: they play on Christmas. So if his status is in

895
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:30,959
Speaker 1: jeopardy for these games, like they ain't winning games without

896
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 1: this guy. This guy is equivalent to their team like

897
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:40,399
Speaker 1: a quarterback. Even the day he makes so many play

898
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 1: he is so good, you kind of realize that if

899
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: you're a Cowboy fan, when Michael leaves is like there's

900
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 1: a big hole when that guy's gone, And sometimes like

901
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 1: is micaeh that good? Can he play the run? Then

902
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:53,799
Speaker 1: he comes back, you're like, holy shit, we miss this guy.

903
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,439
Speaker 1: If he has to miss these two games, it could

904
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: be the biggest It could be the difference, you know,

905
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:01,240
Speaker 1: in the divisi all of a sudden they're a wild

906
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 1: card team and they would be in trouble. Obviously, if

907
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 1: he was out for the season, they would immediately be

908
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 1: done and they would be one and done in the playoffs.

909
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 1: Certain same thing like that would be a devastating injury

910
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 1: for the Broncos who got it him, who had a

911
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 1: very very impressive win the day against a quarterback who

912
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 1: you know, like I say, all the time, can't hit

913
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: water if he was in the middle of the ocean

914
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 1: in a boat. It just truly is an atrocious thrower

915
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 1: of the football, not in terms of velocity, but in

916
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: terms of accuracy, has no clue where it's going. Certain

917
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,319
Speaker 1: who had an I wouldn't say an awesome pick, just

918
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:34,319
Speaker 1: a good pick, broke off a route, picked it off

919
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 1: pretty easily, had to be kind of helped off the field.

920
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 1: If he has to miss substantial time, that's like their

921
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 1: ceiling and listen, their ceiling fully healthy might just be

922
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 1: one playoff victory. If he's gone that that would be

923
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 1: a huge, huge blow. Obviously. The Lions like kind of

924
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,799
Speaker 1: feels like they're at the point of diminishing returns, Like

925
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:56,320
Speaker 1: eventually you get to the point like things crack. I've

926
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 1: been driving around for like a week with this thing

927
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: flashing in my car about this break situation. I just

928
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:06,360
Speaker 1: hadn't had time to go to the dealership. I've also

929
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 1: been on the fence like it's just time to get

930
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: a new car when I'm at the dealership, But I

931
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:12,319
Speaker 1: just I just hadn't had time yet. And I'm just

932
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 1: hoping like it's something involved in my breaks, like my

933
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 1: breaks just all of a sudden, don't work. When I'm

934
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 1: driving down the highway and all of a sudden you

935
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,760
Speaker 1: see a tweet like, you know, former podcaster John Middlecoff

936
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 1: has perished because his breaks went out and he flew

937
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 1: off the side of the road. You know, That's kind

938
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 1: of what I'm hoping, and that's why I need to

939
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: go to the dealership either Monday or Tuesday. But that's

940
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 1: what it feels like with a Lions like you can

941
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:35,799
Speaker 1: lose a couple of players if you have some good

942
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:38,360
Speaker 1: backups and if your offense is good enough. But I

943
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 1: don't know. It just kind of just feels like enough's enough,

944
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 1: And it kind of feels over Mahomes, who said after

945
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 1: the game that he doesn't even know if he'll be

946
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 1: able to go this week, obviously because it's a Saturday

947
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: game and then he plays a Wednesday game. I think

948
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 1: based on the way he was talking, and there's a

949
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 1: chance he could miss the next two games. The great

950
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 1: part is they got a little lead. He just win

951
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,080
Speaker 1: one of these next two games, they'd be fine. Now

952
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 1: could they do that with Carson Wentz? I don't know,

953
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 1: but I know this. If there is any question about

954
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. I have a hard time seeing him play Saturday,

955
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 1: because it'd be an easy one, like, hey, don't play Saturday,

956
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 1: We'll hold you to Wednesday. So basically, instead of getting

957
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 1: you know, a week off missing a game, you know,

958
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 1: you get ten days off or nine days off and

959
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 1: you just start preparing for the Christmas Day game against

960
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 1: the Steelers. I could see if he's legitimately not out,

961
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:34,799
Speaker 1: like three weeks or something, but if it's like you know,

962
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 1: you'd be a game time decision Saturday. I wonder if

963
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 1: they just say, hey, we'll get Carsonis start here on

964
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 1: Saturday against the Texans, and then we'll just kind of

965
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: give you the week you start preparing for the Steelers

966
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 1: on Tuesday or Wednesday, almost like a playoff situation. I

967
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 1: wonder if that's in play, and that's where they really

968
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 1: benefit from winning all these closed games, because I think

969
00:51:58,160 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 1: it'd be a lot different if they were tied with

970
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 1: the Bills or even just had a one game lead

971
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 1: with the Bills, Because I think it's pretty easy if

972
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 1: you're Andy and this is probably the right move. The

973
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: Bills are not going to lose another game. I think

974
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:11,919
Speaker 1: that's how you would approach it. The Bills are winning out,

975
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: so they're gonna have three losses. We got one, so

976
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,400
Speaker 1: we can afford to lose one more game, could we

977
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 1: just hey, maybe Carson could. It's not like the Texans

978
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 1: are world beers right now, and the Steelers who knows,

979
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 1: now what if TJ's out? You know, with picking status,

980
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 1: they got some major question marks. They're leaking a little will,

981
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:33,920
Speaker 1: so these major injuries are definitely something to keep an

982
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:36,880
Speaker 1: eye on. Appreciate everyone listening, have a great day, and

983
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: we will talk soon. The volume
