37
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: I would imagine a lot better than Sirianni and Howie.

38
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: I can't imagine being at Nova Care early in the

39
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: morning on Tuesday after that loss that I tried to

40
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: decide before I recorded, what is that a better win

41
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: for Atlanta or a worse loss for the Eagles? And

42
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: I kind of came to the conclusion it's probably equal.

43
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: It's an incredible moment for Cousins, I mean awesome. I

44
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: mean this is King Melts on primetime. I did not

45
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: think he was playing well, terrible in the red zone.

46
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: He had one good drive that led him to a touchdown.

47
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: The middle of the game.

48
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: Where he had like three good throws, but that moment

49
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: in that spot, I get it was relatively easy because

50
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what Fangio was doing, but very cool

51
00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: for him and pretty devastating for old Sirianni. So we

52
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: will dive into it because I got I got some

53
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: thoughts on Cousin's moment. The Siriani's not vetoing Kellen Moore

54
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: making sure they run the ball in that spot. Obviously, Fangio,

55
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 1: the d line looks terrible, the coverages, just letting guys

56
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: run free was insane. Give out a couple of game

57
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: balls from Sunday. Wanted to do a little it's getting

58
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: hot in here rankings because I think a couple guys

59
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 1: are starting to feel some flames right now. And yeah,

60
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: we'll just talk a little ball. It's exciting times, it

61
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: really is. And we have a podcast, got a big

62
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: interview this week. We will have podcasts all week, So

63
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: keep your keep your ears and eyes out for those

64
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: obviously three and Out. If you listen on Collins Feed,

65
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: make sure you subscribe to three and out feed YouTube

66
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: channel has everything my golf video.

67
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: I was texting with my video guy here in Arizona.

68
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: I think he was close to being done so that

69
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: I think ideally would be applied Wednesday. We might go

70
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: shoot another video Wednesday as well, so we got some

71
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: new content coming to YouTube that's obviously YouTube only. But

72
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: before we dive in to the birds, you know, I

73
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: got to tell you about my friends, my partners. In

74
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: the official ticketing app of this podcast. They go by

75
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: game Time. Here's the thing with game Time, they're the

76
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: best I've used all the ticketing apps. I've been using

77
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: game Time now for two years. It doesn't get any better,

78
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: doesn't get any easier to use. The ability to get

79
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: flash deals, the ability to search by venue, team, concerts,

80
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: comedy shows, obviously sporting events, college or pro been to

81
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: many games of the link, highly recommend it. Great atmosphere

82
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: unless they lose like tonight and you got to leave

83
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: the stadium, then it's a little sketchy. But all these

84
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: games look like so much fun. If you want to

85
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,880

Speaker 2: You know what.

95
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 1: I want to start with a positive note, and this

96
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: is why you can't in a live event that is

97
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: the ultimate reality show. I had sculpted some takes and

98
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: they were gonna be negative surrounding Kirk Cousins. His red

99
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: zone performances were absolutely atrocious. I got some text from

100
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: like former NFL players that were like, what is he doing?

101
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: Balls are flying all over the place, not even remotely close.

102
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: I have a take that I'm not going to change,

103
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: but it would have been much better if he just

104
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: would have imploded at the end. He does look funny

105
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: in a Falcons uniform, Like, I don't think that it's

106
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: going to change as the season goes on, regardless how

107
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: much success they have.

108
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 2: He looks funny in the uniform.

109
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: But beside the one drive which they scored to Mooney

110
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: where he had three great passes in a row. On

111
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: third down, he hit Pitts. On fourth down, he hit

112
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: Rey Ray over the middle. Then he hit the big

113
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: touchdown drive. I thought he was not good. I thought, like,

114
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: they're playing the Chiefs next week. This Pennix talk is

115
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: only gonna grow. And we'll get into Sirianni and Kellen

116
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: Moore's decision at the end of the game, which gave

117
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: Cousins an extra forty seconds because they didn't have any timeouts.

118
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 2: But that drive.

119
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: Now, Vic Fangio might be the highest paid defensive coordinator

120
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: in the league. He makes like five million dollars a year,

121
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 1: and I listen, he knows more defense than most of

122
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: us will ever know combined. But playing that soft when

123
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: they clearly have good skill guys and Cousins despite having

124
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: a I would say an average game at best can

125
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: make basic outrun when guys are wide open, you know,

126
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: in just open areas and in wide open green grass.

127
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: The other thing is they weren't getting a pass rush

128
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: all night Long's we'll dive into that. With the Eagles,

129
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: They're defensive pass rush is non existent, like it just

130
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: doesn't get home. So Cousins marches them down the field

131
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: in three shots. It's like they're already in the red zone.

132
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: It was insane how fast they moved the ball down

133
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: the field. But all you're thinking in the back of

134
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: your head when the drive started. This is a guy

135
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: who is historically poor on primetime games, and that has

136
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: to be one of the greatest moments of his career, because,

137
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: let's face it, the moment they kicked off, I'm not alone,

138
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: and I would imagine a lot of Atlanta Falcons were

139
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: like this and everyone else that's not an Eagles fan,

140
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: or even if you are an Eagles fan. But there's

141
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: no chance on God's green Earth, this guy leads a

142
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: touchdown drive. Right now, I would have guessed that they

143
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: turned it over on downs around the fifty yard line.

144
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: Yet within three or four passes, it's like, well, they're

145
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: already in the red zone. And the one thing the

146
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: Falcons do have is like tall wide receivers. And then

147
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: Drake London turns Darius Slay like a dradal easy touched

148
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: down the corner of the end zone. The moment that happened,

149
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: he started thinking, well, the Eagles still have a couple

150
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: of timeouts, and then a couple of plays later, Jalen

151
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: throws the pick and the Atlanta Falcons win the game.

152
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: But Cousins in one drive tonight change an early narrative

153
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: on a season because I think it was getting bad.

154
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: He did not look like the guy that I think

155
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: they felt confident that they were getting. He obviously doesn't move,

156
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: He's never been able to move. But to me, the

157
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: visual of him in the uniform, the cohesion of the offense.

158
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: How poor they've been in the red zone, I think

159
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: they are. I guess they That final touchdown was a

160
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: red zone touchdown, but before that they were one for four.

161
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: The pits touchdown against the Steelers, and then you have

162
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: a moment like that and you go there is life

163
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: there because they do have skill guys. The Falcons defense

164
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: is pretty good. Judon's a big addition. Baits a really

165
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: good player. Belichick hates aj Terrell because he hasn't got

166
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: a interception in over one thousand days and he got

167
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: paid a lot of money, but he is a solid corner.

168
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: Like their defense is good, and that was a must

169
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: win because this Sunday they host the Chiefs and I'm

170
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: thinking they're about to fall to oh and two. You

171
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: got the Bucks and the Saints who feel poised to

172
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: be like five and two in a couple weeks. All

173
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're digging yourself out of a hole

174
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 1: at oh and three? How do you even get back

175
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: to three? To three and three? And Cousins changed everything.

176
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: And you saw the excitement on the sideline from the

177
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: owner who cut this guy on hundred million dollar check.

178
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: And I don't blame him because that was a massive

179
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 1: moment and he needed it, because the snowball of negativity

180
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: can start coming down the mountain and it doesn't stop.

181
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: We see it happen with other players, especially when you

182
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: give a guy a lot of money. He has no

183
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: sweat equity with your team, with your fan base, and

184
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: he earned a lot tonight. That was, I don't think

185
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 1: I'm being hyperbolic, one of the biggest moments of Kirk

186
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: Cousin's career.

187
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 2: And it was cool. I mean, it was fun to watch.

188
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 1: He seems like a he doesn't seem he is a great,

189
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: high character guy.

190
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 2: He's an easy guy to root for.

191
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: After that Quarterback documentary a couple of years ago on Netflix,

192
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: and as someone who was kind of out on him

193
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: midway through. This game changes just like that, because the

194
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: whole point of this whole thing is to win, and

195
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: he found a way to get his team a w

196
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: in the biggest moment possible. And on the flip side,

197
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: that's a devastating loss.

198
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 2: For the Eagles.

199
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think it gets much worse. That's

200
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: on the level of the Seattle loss last night or

201
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: last year on Monday Night football, and I would say

202
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: the big difference, I think it's almost worse at home

203
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: in front of your fans, especially they were vibing all night.

204
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: But there are two things that really stood out to me,

205
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: obviously the end of the game, like I don't put

206
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: the defense situation and the play calls on Sirianni because

207
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: ultimately they're paying vic Fangio five million. Sirianni has nothing

208
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: to do with that. Vic Fangiol that's atrocious. That has

209
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 1: to be better. You can't call the soft coverages when

210
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: your defensive line has been horrendous. They've paid a huff

211
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: a lot of money. He's nowhere to be found. The

212
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: pressure from their front four is basically non existent these

213
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks when they've invested in high draft

214
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: picks and paid a lot of money. So Fangio's not

215
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: a blitzer. Well, if you're just sitting back, that was

216
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: a pretty risky proposition and it backfired.

217
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: In your face.

218
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: But before that, Sirianni's not the offensive coordinator either, but

219
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: he is the boss. And on that situation on third

220
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: down when they have no timeouts left, I underd Saquon

221
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: is a fantastic He looks incredible for the Eagles. I

222
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: don't think you take the risk Jalen hits him in

223
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: the hands. Saquon catches that ninety eight times out of

224
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: one hundred. The problem is that in that situation when

225
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: it is one of the two times that he drops.

226
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 2: It, it screws you, and it screws you.

227
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: Hard because the Falcons ended up getting the ball back

228
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: with one thirty nine and that's the difference of under

229
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: sixty seconds. And I also think there is a psychological

230
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: effect when you're on offense knowing you have less than

231
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: a minute and no timeouts and you have to go

232
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: seventy yards. There's just there was less of an urgency

233
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: once they hit two plays because they had so much time,

234
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: Like time is on your side when you're close to

235
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: the two minute mark. If you hit a fifteen yard

236
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: chunk play, you can take a deep breath, especially now

237
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: where they start you with a thirty yard line. So

238
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: I think you hit a ten yard play, boom, you're.

239
00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: At the forty.

240
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: It used to be you'd be at the twenty and

241
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: if you hit a ten yard play, you'd only be

242
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: at the thirty. You still got a long way to go,

243
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: but you're already at the forty. You're a play away

244
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: from already flipping the other side of the field. And

245
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 1: I just think Sirianni, under no circumstances, can be on

246
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: the headset and go Kellen, call a run here. And

247
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: I understand the Eagles are probably the most progressive organization

248
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 1: in being aggressive. Now, there are a lot of other

249
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: teams that are like that as well, but they've been

250
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: on the forefront of aggressive nature. And we saw it

251
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: in the first quarter when they were at the nine

252
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: yard line.

253
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 2: It's zero to zero.

254
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: So I'm all four in the middle of a game

255
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: in the second half going forward on fourth down situations,

256
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: you have absolutely no clue how this game is gonna

257
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: play out. And it turned out it was an extremely

258
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: low scoring game. And those three points would have been

259
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: very valuable to your cause. And he went for it

260
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: and they didn't get it. And that was something in

261
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: the back of my mind throughout the game, like, what

262
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: are we doing? It is zero to zero. I understand

263
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: if you're down twelve points in the second half, like

264
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: we need a touchdown.

265
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 2: Okay, totally get you.

266
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: But in that situation with all the unknown analytical people

267
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: love to say that's why you go for it, to

268
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: give yourself a percentage chance to win. You cannot say

269
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: that in the first quarter, with ten minutes left to

270
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: go and basically an entire game.

271
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I can't get behind that.

272
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: And I'm pro aggression in football, in life, in every

273
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: aspect of society. Basically, that is stupidity. The thing I

274
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: get having a conversation, Hey, we like this play to

275
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: Saquon in the flat. It's been open throughout the game.

276
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: It'll be stealing candy from a baby. First down ballgame, Kellen.

277
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: I understand. I like to play too, but it's week two.

278
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: We got him by the throats, run it, they have

279
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: no timeouts and make him go seventy yards on us

280
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: in fifty five seconds. I don't believe cousins can do that.

281
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: It's dramatically different than a buck forty and it clearly

282
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: bit him in the ass.

283
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 2: Hell.

284
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: They ended up scoring so fast that the Eagles got

285
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: the ball back with you know, around thirty seconds, which

286
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: is sad because Jalen was awesome tonight and I think

287
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: you saw the Jalen that was competing to be the

288
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: MVP two years ago. He was accurate, he was great

289
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: throwing on the move, and when he runs, he turns

290
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: into the like power Lamar Jackson. The running disappeared last year.

291
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: So like, for as shitty as this loss is, if

292
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: you're an Eagles fan, the one bright spot is if

293
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: he can play like that, we're gonna beat a lot

294
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: of teams. The Falcons are good like they have a

295
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: lot of talent I don't know meaning good like what

296
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: they're record's gonna be, but they do have a lot

297
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: of good players on their team, and their defense is

298
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: playing really well. And Jalen was dominating him because as

299
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: a runner, he's not Lamar in terms of the speed.

300
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: He actually turns into much more like a running back, slow, steady,

301
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: picking holes, can break guys off, and here's what he

302
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: can do. Nobody in the league wants to slide anymore.

303
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: Nobody two was running into guys can cuss. Who knows

304
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: when he'll be back. Jaden Daniels tries to run over everybody.

305
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: Anthony Richson, it's like guys slide. He can pick his

306
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: poison because he knows when I can run over a

307
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: certain guy. But he also can slide no problem. He

308
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: is an elite runner of the football, and we know

309
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: he's a great deep ball thrower. When he combines those two,

310
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: he's a high end player and he's worth every penny.

311
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: Like that was winning football tonight from Jalen. I know

312
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: he throws the pick at the end. They're kind of

313
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: in a tough spot. Maybe we could argue, don't throw

314
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: the ball, which would be fair, but I thought subtract

315
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: that play would They were already in major trouble the

316
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: moment Cousins scored. Now you could argue, like, why are

317
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 1: we even taking shots? We got we still have a timeout,

318
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: which is fair. But I thought beside that play, he

319
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: was excellent. And I do think big picture, like the

320
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: Eagles have an issue with their defensive line. If it's

321
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: going to be average to below, like they're just not

322
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: gonna be good on defense. They simply are not. And

323
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: I understand their high end first round pick that got

324
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: spun around on the play. They're paying Slay a lot

325
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: of money. He gives up a touchdown. There's you know,

326
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 1: CJ had a fantastic tackle on that short yardage fourth down.

327
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 2: I mean it was elite.

328
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 1: Looked like Brian Dawkins in his prime. But their defensive

329
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: line to me, is just not living up to the billing.

330
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: So bright note Cousins awesome, I mean, what a moment

331
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: for him. Jalen was awesome. But Sirianni, Fangio, that's one

332
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: the coaching staff like Fangio, what are you doing.

333
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 2: On the last drive?

334
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: Sirianni, how are you okaying that third down pass? It

335
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: just unless sometimes in life you gotta pump the brakes

336
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: and be a little more conservative in search and situations.

337
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: I'm all for putting your chips in the middle of

338
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: the table. I don't think that's playing Monday morning quarterback.

339
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 2: That was stupid and just.

340
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: Too risky, Like the risk reward there if he drops it,

341
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 1: it's just too I mean, it's crippling and it was

342
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: and you could feel it right away. Turned out a

343
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: bit him in the ass.

344
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 2: Let's give out some game balls.

345
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: And these are the type that if you're a fan

346
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: of this team, if you saw the guy at a bar,

347
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: you'd buy him around to drinks, like I owe you one.

348
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: That was awesome, whether it be a coach or a player.

349
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: And I shorted the Packers this week. I said, under

350
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: no circumstances can they win a game with Malik Willis Now?

351
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: It turned out Malik Willis is on the Indianapolis Colts

352
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: right now, Anthony Richardson who is playing at a really

353
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: really low level, and the Indianapolis Colts defense is not good.

354
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: But Matt Lafleur might have had his Picasso moment that

355
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: was and he's had some great moments right won a

356
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: lot of games with Rogers, won.

357
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 2: A couple MVPs, created Jordan Love.

358
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: But to get Malik Willis after the fifty three man

359
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: cut down and be forced to start him week two

360
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: and absolutely kick the crap out of the Colts was

361
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: really really impressive. He went twelve or fourteen, didn't have

362
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 1: to do much through a touchdown, but they ran for

363
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty yards. Two hundred and sixty yards.

364
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: If you're playing Malik Willis and you're the Colts. I

365
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: would say the only thing that is gonna give them

366
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: a chance to win if they dominate us on the ground.

367
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: And two hundred and sixty yards is not domination. That

368
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:15,959
Speaker 1: is like, uh, the best rushing performance of the year. Like,

369
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 1: how many teams throughout the season are gonna run for

370
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: over two hundred and fifty yards? Absolute clinic by lafloor So,

371
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: game Ball, Cocktails cheers the Mattiel Alvin Kamara, who I

372
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: think a lot of people thought was somewhat I don't

373
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: want to say washed, but the best football of his

374
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,239
Speaker 1: career is behind him. And here's the thing. When you

375
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: get in the Shanahan offense and you're a good running back,

376
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: but you can catch the ball, they will feature you.

377
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: And Alvin Kamara ran for one hundred and fifteen yards

378
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns. Caught two passes, had like a fifty

379
00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 1: eight yard screen pass to the Hiszzie another touchdown. He

380
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: had four touchdowns yesterday. Absolute clinic by Kamara, game Ball

381
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: Pat Jones, who Pat Jones of the Minnesota Vikings, I

382
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: gotta be fully transparent here, didn't know much about this guy,

383
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: honestly didn't. They drafted him in the third round in

384
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. I think he has been a backup

385
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: because they've had, you know, good defensive linemen over the

386
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: years in Hunter in Zadarius. But yesterday Pat Jones had

387
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: two sacks and four tackles. He was lining up against

388
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: Trent Williams. This guy was always in Brock Purdy's lap.

389
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 2: He was excellent.

390
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy, I don't know if you can

391
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: keep this up all season long, but yesterday that guy

392
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: was given Trent Williams fits.

393
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 2: He's long, he's got a little spin move, he's got some.

394
00:21:55,119 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: Speed contract the year, So you know, playing baby a

395
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: little out of is you know what. But hey, I mean,

396
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: who cares. If you're the Minnesota Vikings. If you can

397
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: get ten sacks from this guy this season, that would

398
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: be big number ninety one for the Minnesota Vikings. Pat Jones,

399
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 1: cheer's to you last but not least. I didn't pull

400
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: the trigger, but I didn't do much on Saturday. I

401
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: was gonna play golf, I worked out, and I was like,

402
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm just gonna lay around and watch football.

403
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: And the football was mainly terrible. It was a lot

404
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: of really bad matchups. But I was like whatever, could

405
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: be worse things to do. And the four thirty slate

406
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 1: came on and Colorado State was like a seven and

407
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: a half point underdog.

408
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 2: You get them at like plus two.

409
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: Fifty to win, And I said, you know, I need

410
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: a little juice on this game to get me through it.

411
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: And the game started and I ended up not making

412
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: the bet, and I was glad I did because Colorado.

413
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 2: State was at home.

414
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: Both these two teams goes back to last year. Just

415
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: an incredible game. These teams hate each other. I thought,

416
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: you know, there's a tough spot for Colorado right maybe

417
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: it just implodes here. And Dion had the boys ready.

418
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 1: They had some freshmen running back who looked like an

419
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: NFL player and they kicked their ass, So props the

420
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: prime time for keeping the squad. It could have unraveled

421
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: absolute rough l in Nebraska. You had Chador thrown his

422
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 1: offensive lineman under the bus. Thought there might be some

423
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: chinks in the armor. But it didn't happen and they

424
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: dominated dominated c issue. Now it's gonna get a little

425
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: harder in the Big twelve. But I watched a lot

426
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: of that game and it gave me help, Like, yeah,

427
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: this team, if they play like that with that much

428
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: intensity and run the ball well that they have a

429
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: chance to be somewhat I mean relative for their standards,

430
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: really successful this season. So game ball to prime Chador

431
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 1: in the boys, lit'sten on a couple other things I

432
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: wanted really quick before we dive into little hot seat.

433
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 1: I think we're seeing a couple guys. And I'm a

434
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: huge believer in this, and I've said it one hundred

435
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: times and I'll probably say it one hundred more only

436
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: because I can speak from experience. I think you learn

437
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 1: so much. Let's face it, there are two roads that

438
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: you can take when shit hits the fan in life,

439
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: and the longer you live, it is inevitable you're gonna

440
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 1: have rough times, whether it be professionally or personally. People

441
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: are going to pass away in your life. You're gonna

442
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: have rough moments in your life personally, whether it be relationships,

443
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: whether it be with family, you know, professionally unless.

444
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 2: You're like.

445
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 1: I don't even know, you're gonna hit bumpy roads. Whether

446
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: it's getting fired, whether it's a business idea not working out,

447
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: whether it's a company going down, whether you fail at

448
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: an idea. It's inevitable, and I think you have two

449
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: choices when that stuff happens. It's like you either put

450
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: one foot in front of the other and kind of

451
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: mentally power through it, or just go into the tank.

452
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: And let's face it, you're allowed to go into the

453
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: tank immediately.

454
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 2: It's called life.

455
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 1: But some people in this world never get out of

456
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: that state and it derails their life. And I think

457
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: the successful people have a characteristic. I don't know if

458
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: it's necessarily innate. I think you can work on it

459
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: over time to like battle through. I'm gonna figure this out.

460
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let this define my life. I've been

461
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: fired a couple times. Who gives a shit. I mean,

462
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: those are the best moments looking back that have ever

463
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 1: happened to me. Because I had to make a change,

464
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: I had to look in the mirror. I'm sure a

465
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: lot of people listening to this have had rough professional

466
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 1: moments and you look back and you can smile. Though

467
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 1: at the time it wasn't something you would want to

468
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: smile about, but looking back, you're like, hell, yeah, some shit,

469
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: I'd go through it again. It only makes you better.

470
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: And I think it happens with quarterbacks a lot. Bryce

471
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: was benched. It's gonna be an opportunity for him to

472
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: like kind of look in the mirror and go, do

473
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: I want to let the last season in two games

474
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 1: define my NFL career?

475
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 2: Or am I gonna do everything humanly.

476
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,719
Speaker 1: Possible to figure this out? And I look at two

477
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 1: players right now, who, let's face it, are just it's short.

478
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: It's only been two games. We got fifteen more to go,

479
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 1: but look poised to have really, really good seasons.

480
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 2: Obviously, as a quarterback, you're.

481
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: Very dependent on a couple of things that are out

482
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: of your control. Who's calling the place, because you're not

483
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: calling the place. This isn't the NBA where you just

484
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: get to do whatever you want when the ball's in

485
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,719
Speaker 1: your hand and what's around you.

486
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 2: You don't pick the players. You're not in charge of

487
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 2: free agency or the draft.

488
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 1: So who your GM is in the front office, like,

489
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: better keep your fingers cross are good?

490
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 2: And Sam Darnold was.

491
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: Not good early on in his career, Like, I won't

492
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: argue that, but he played for Adam Gase and then

493
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: he played for Matt Ruhle, who Matt rule is a

494
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 1: better coach in terms of what he's good at as

495
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: a college coach than Adam Gay, So I don't even

496
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: think it's in the NFL. But Matt Rule as a

497
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: college coach and got run out of the NFL. He

498
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: had Joe Brady, Like I'm watching Joe Brady with the Bills,

499
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: like kind of knows what he's doing and they couldn't

500
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: figure it out. And then Sam Darnolds got with Kyle

501
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: and now with Kevin O'Connell, and he looks to be a.

502
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 2: Very capable quarterback.

503
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: He's always going to turn the ball over a little bit,

504
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: it's going to be part of his repertoire. But his

505
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: arm's really explosive. And one thing he's shown from last

506
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 1: year with Kyle to now this year, he's actually pretty accurate,

507
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 1: especially down the field and some of those throws he

508
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: made against the forty nine ers. Obviously the highlight throw

509
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: was the ninety seven yard touchdown bomb to Justin Jefferson,

510
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: but I thought he made some really really good throws

511
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 1: on second and third and long in some big spots,

512
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 1: and he just looks good. He clearly is confident. But

513
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: you know what, he might be pretty good player who

514
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: just needed to be in a spot where things are productive,

515
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 1: like the talent around him and the guy's calling the

516
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: plays now a little bit different because unlike Sam, this

517
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: guy Sam started. I looked it up today. This is

518
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: a seventh year in the NFL. He started fifty eight games.

519
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 1: Derek Carr has started one hundred plus more games than

520
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 1: Sam normal He's thirty three years old. He started one

521
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty games. And I think he's been a

522
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: pretty polarizing player over his career because his good can

523
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: look good and his bad can look really bad. But

524
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: I will defend him on this. And I was in

525
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: the Bay Area the majority of his college career or

526
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: his NFL career. I was around him one year in

527
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: college and then followed his college career really closely. In college,

528
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: he had a pretty i would say stable situation, even

529
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: though there was a coaching change during his tenure.

530
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 2: Pat Hill got fired and.

531
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: Tim de Ruder came in Fresno State. Still to this day,

532
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: like they've had my entire adult life. They have excellent

533
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: offensive skill guys. They have NFL wide receivers and NFL

534
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: running backs, and they usually have a good offensive line.

535
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: And then he gets to the NFL and it's the Raiders.

536
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: And in his first year he had two coaches and

537
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: through his tenure there, he went through.

538
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 2: A bunch of coaches.

539
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: He went through. Only the Raiders could pull this off,

540
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: like we're gonna move, we're moving, but we need to

541
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: stay in this stadium and in where we live right

542
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: now for another couple of years. No one else could

543
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: pull that off. The Rams didn't. They immediately moved to

544
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: Los Angeles.

545
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 2: The Chargers didn't. They immediately went up to the home depot.

546
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: The Raiders just stay because that's kind of the Oakland dysfunction.

547
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: The A's did it literally the last couple of years,

548
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: like we're moving, we are not gonna stay here, but

549
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna play here right now.

550
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 2: That is not easy to.

551
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: Overcome when you're the quarterback. And I watched him do it,

552
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: and he handled himself because from a maturity class, dam point,

553
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: like he checks all those boxes. But I actually think

554
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: he's better than people realize. His touchdown to interception ratio

555
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: over the course of his career is like two and

556
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: a half to one. He's thrown two hundred and forty

557
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: five touchdowns and like one hundred and five picks. He's

558
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: been a productive player. He's also relatively accurate. I wouldn't

559
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: call him Drew Brees or Steve Young, but he's not

560
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: an inaccurate player. The reason I like the Saints this

561
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: year one he has so much experience. There's nothing in

562
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: the NFL he hasn't seen. We hasn't seen pass the

563
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: first round.

564
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 2: Of the playoffs.

565
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: But he's better the playoffs a couple times, and for

566
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: the most of his careers played on the Raiders, who

567
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: never go to the playoffs. So last year with the Saints,

568
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: like everyone acted like they sucked. It's like, guys, they

569
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: weren't as bad as you thought. They were, not a

570
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: four or five. They won nine games, and for half

571
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: the season the offense was a joke. So you get Kubiak,

572
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: who I didn't realize was going to be this good.

573
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: But I know that offense works because everyone around the

574
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: league that runs it is successful and is gonna be

575
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: successful in this offense, and they have skill guys around him,

576
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: and they invest in the offensive line right away, and

577
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: their defense is good. So am I shocked that they

578
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: are dominating as much as they have, Of course I am,

579
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: But I thought they'd be an eleven win team for

580
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: a reason. I thought this offense was gonna work, and

581
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: I thought the defense would be good, and I don't

582
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: expect their offense to sustain.

583
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 2: This level of play, But like, he's a pretty good player.

584
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 2: You know, he's he's pretty good.

585
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: Everyone anointed cousins over the years is like, you know,

586
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: this is the best second tier quarterback. It's like, yeah,

587
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: I don't see much difference between Derek or even like

588
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: Jared Goff when he's playing well, and right now he's

589
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: playing well.

590
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 2: I wanted to do.

591
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: You know, for those of us that are in our

592
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: late thirties, you were probably in junior high in high

593
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: school when Nelly came out and Country Grammar's still one

594
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: of a it's, i mean, an all time album.

595
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 2: I don't even think they call him albums anymore.

596
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: They're just go to Apple Music or whatever, Spotify and

597
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: just listen to whatever the songs are. But in my

598
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: days there were CDs and cassettes and they were called albums.

599
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: And one of my favorite Nelly songs is is getting

600
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: Hot in Here. And I think when you look around

601
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: in the NFL, there are two guys it's a little

602
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: early for hot seat, but there were guys with tangible

603
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: pressure coming into the season, and it's safe to say

604
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: when they walked into their office Monday morning at zero

605
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: to two. It's getting hot in her because Brian day

606
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: Ball was already being asked about his job status. And

607
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: let's face it, the off season hard knocks made everything

608
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 1: dramatically worse.

609
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 2: It really did.

610
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: Right the Saquon Barkley situation, the way his general manager

611
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: interacted day Ball takes back to play calling, it felt

612
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: they were loyal to Daniel Jones, and I think they're

613
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: in major trouble. They stink. I said this on Sunday,

614
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: and I just look at the box score.

615
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 2: I watched a decent amount of that game.

616
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: I had it on my computer with like eight other

617
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: games going on TV, and I had some money on

618
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: Brian Robinson, so I kept watching. Every time I looked,

619
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: the Commanders were driving the ball down the field. They

620
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: were just terrible in the red zone. Like they got

621
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: worked in that game, I mean worked. So it's like

622
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: it's one thing to get your ass kicked Week one

623
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: against the Vikings. Maybe the Vikings are ten win team to.

624
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 2: Lose like that.

625
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: The score was closed, the game was not and now

626
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: their schedule. I just looked at it is at Cleveland,

627
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: which feels like a tough matchup for them given Cleveland's defense.

628
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: Dallas short week Thursday night football at Seattle, Sincy, Philly

629
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: at pitt This thing get ugly really fast. And I'm

630
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,239
Speaker 1: not acting like day Balls the village idiot, but this

631
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: thing has not gone well, and it gets back to

632
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: the owner, like I don't think he wants to fire

633
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: these guys, but I think he's going to be very,

634
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: very difficult if they win four games and Daniel Jones

635
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: just implodes. Now, Daniel Jones ain't lasting the entire season

636
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 1: if he plays bad. But it's not like they're bringing

637
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: Kurt Warner off the bench with Tommy Cutltz. And listen,

638
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: I like this guy a lot. He's been really cool

639
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: to me. He is a great guy. Everyone that knows

640
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson loves the guy. But this is not going well,

641
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: and it's not going well at all, and fair or

642
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: not the moment they gave Trevor Lawrence two hundred million dollars.

643
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 1: If he doesn't look good, he can't get blamed immediately,

644
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: even if it turns out he's one of the most

645
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 1: overhyped players of my life who's not like terrible. It's

646
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: not like he's Bryce young, but he clearly isn't remotely

647
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: close to like a top six or seven quarterback in

648
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: the NFL, and.

649
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 2: You gave him two hundred million dollars.

650
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: So watching some of that Cleveland game, the highlights, I

651
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: didn't watch much of it, but watching last week, he

652
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: just something's not right. And Trent Balkey has known to

653
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 1: try to backstab guys over the years. Now I don't

654
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,240
Speaker 1: know if he has enough juice where he could survive

655
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: this one. I would imagine shod Cohn fires everybody. I

656
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: mentioned this last week. The guy to keep an eye

657
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 1: on is William Belichick. But this thing get ugly, and

658
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:21,240
Speaker 1: this thing.

659
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 2: Get ugly quick.

660
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: For some reason, there's a double header on Monday night football.

661
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: I don't I don't love doubleheaders on Monday night, Like

662
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: I just like to enjoy one game. But there are

663
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: two games and one of them happens to be the

664
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: Jags at Buffalo. I don't know about you. I don't

665
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 1: love that spot for the Jags. So all of a sudden,

666
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 1: you're zero to three and you're going, we got problems.

667
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: I think Doug is in major, major trouble now. Unlike

668
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 1: day Ball, I do think that they would let those

669
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 1: guys coach all season. I could see a scenario and

670
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: I'd have to look at his staff. I'm not acting

671
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: like they got reinforcements on it.

672
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 2: But you just pay the.

673
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 1: Quarterback two hundred million dollars and you're one in seven

674
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: and you get acts in the middle of the year. Okay, last,

675
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: but not least. It's take Tuesday and something that just

676
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: drives me nuts.

677
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 2: Sean mcvayh talked about this because in.

678
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: That playoff game against the Lions, he blew a bunch

679
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: of timeouts in the third quarter and did not have

680
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: him at the end of the game.

681
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 2: And then when.

682
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: Vrabel got fired, he had this right hand man who

683
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: was in charge of rules in kind of game management

684
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: that McVeigh immediately hired because he's like, I have to

685
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,720
Speaker 1: be better. Well, we're not blowing timeouts in the third quarter,

686
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: so I have him at the end of the game.

687
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 2: This is not college football.

688
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: You're not going to see Tennessee Kent State where it's

689
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 1: sixty five.

690
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 2: To nothing at halftime.

691
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 1: All these games, even when they don't feel close, the

692
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: score usually is. That's why a massive point spread in

693
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: the NFL is like seven points.

694
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 2: That's huge.

695
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:10,439
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan and I put the quarterback in the coach

696
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 1: on the same level because if your quarterback, if you

697
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: are calling timeouts to save a delay of game in

698
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: the third quarter, I might give you a little leeway

699
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: if you're at like the five yard line in the

700
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: red zone because scoring a touchdown is a big deal.

701
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,760
Speaker 1: But if you're at the middle of the field or back,

702
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: I'd even say, like thirty yard line and back, that

703
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: cannot happen and it is not allowed. And even if

704
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: your quarterback does it, because in the forty nine er game,

705
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: perty does that.

706
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 2: I put that on the head.

707
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: Coach because the head coach is in charge of everything.

708
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: You can go over these situations all off season, all

709
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: training camp, and during the week. Under no circumstances. If

710
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 1: we get down close to zero in the third quarter,

711
00:37:56,400 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 1: are we blowing a timeout? And I said this yesterday

712
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: on the old X channel because I was watching games

713
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,720
Speaker 1: and it was driving me nuts. If I was an owner,

714
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: I would say this, if you call a timeout in

715
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: the third quarter on a delayed game, I am finding

716
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: you as a head coach or your quarterback does one

717
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:21,280
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars and at that time out.

718
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 2: That you called on that drive, you end up punting.

719
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: I'm doubling it. It cannot happen because in the Niner

720
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: game at the end, they didn't have any timeouts.

721
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 2: Because they're blowing them in the third quarter.

722
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Like I don't pretend to be Warren Sharp

723
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,919
Speaker 1: here and some genius with analytics, but it's pretty black

724
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: and white that it is not worth the five yard

725
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: penalty in the middle of the third quarter to not

726
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: have a timeout in the end of the game, even

727
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: if you're down, because it's inevitable you're gonna be in

728
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,720
Speaker 1: a one score situation, like ninety percent of NFL games

729
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: find themselves in that situation. So I just do not

730
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: understan and with the data we have, with which how much,

731
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: with how much we have talked about this specific instance,

732
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: not having timeouts at the end of the game because

733
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: you're using them for delay of games to avoid them

734
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 1: with six minutes left to go in the third quarter,

735
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 1: so instead of being second eleven at second and sixteen,

736
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:23,399
Speaker 1: who cares, I'm sorry, it is not the juice isn't

737
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: worth the squeeze on that one. And if I was

738
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: an owner, I would have a stern talk. I think

739
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 1: there are probably rules. You can't find them one hundred grand.

740
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 1: But it's like, this is unacceptable. Don't want you to

741
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: ever do that. It is not worth it. Again, maybe

742
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: you can justify it if you're at like the goal

743
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: line or within the five yard line. I'd even give

744
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: you maybe the ten, but not when you have seventy

745
00:39:47,719 --> 00:40:01,399
Speaker 1: yards to go. That's just bad ball. Okay, let's dive

746
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: into a little thing we call the Middlecoff mailbag at

747
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: John Middlecoff. At John Middlecoff is the Instagram fire in

748
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 1: those dms. Thank God the Saints and Derek Carr are awesome,

749
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: but the Lions and Niners losing this weekend is shocking

750
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: and I'm just breaking even for the Morning Slate. So

751
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: he sent this on Sunday morning. My question for the

752
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: pod is just about gambling on straight money line bets.

753
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: By October, we kind of know who's good and who's not.

754
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 1: But right now I feel clueless. I think the most

755
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 1: fun part about gambling on the NFL, even throughout the

756
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 1: season is underdog's win. Like yesterday, if you think about it,

757
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: Tampa was a seven and a half point underdog, The

758
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 1: Vikings were a five and a half point underdog. Cleveland

759
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: was a three point underdog. I mean those the Saints

760
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,959
Speaker 1: were I don't know what it kicked off at six

761
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 1: or six and a half. I mean those are pretty

762
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: big spreads. Now, I thought the Tampa thing was crazy,

763
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: like Tampa was a playoff team, won a game and

764
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 1: went toe to toe with the Lions. The Niners have

765
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 1: not won in Minnesota since nineteen ninety two. But the

766
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,359
Speaker 1: thing with I would say, a lot different than than

767
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 1: college football is the New York Giants. Let's say they

768
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,399
Speaker 1: win four games, have just a disastrous season, four and

769
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: what would that be? Four and thirteen, A couple of

770
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 1: like they're gonna beat probably like the Cowboys, the Eagles,

771
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 1: I mean a couple of their wins are going to

772
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: be stunning. If they win four games, I would say

773
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: there's a decent chance, especially if they come in November October.

774
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,280
Speaker 1: One of those comes is like an eight point dog.

775
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 1: So it's there's a lot of value in betting money

776
00:41:55,440 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: line underdogs in the NFL. Now, the Raid were I

777
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,399
Speaker 1: don't know what was the spread on that, like eight,

778
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,439
Speaker 1: eight and a half. I mean there were a ton

779
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: Sunday was a little out of character because I think

780
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: the lines got a little aggressive on some of those games. Like,

781
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: I like the Raiders in that game. Now the problem

782
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 1: was is I just I did a bunch of parlays.

783
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 2: But I think.

784
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 1: Early on hammering big spreads. Look at the Titans, they

785
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: might tap out in a month because their defense plays

786
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: so hard. It's early on in the season, hopes are high.

787
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 1: You're zero to one, You're like, shit, we win this

788
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:42,280
Speaker 1: were one to one. But when you're one and seven,

789
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,720
Speaker 1: it's hard to play with that same fury. But early

790
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: on in the season, Like, I like betting dogs, especially

791
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,800
Speaker 1: because we don't know who's good beside like some of

792
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 1: the usual cast of characters. But I hear you, yesterday

793
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: was a bloodbath for the big favor Two questions your

794
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: thoughts on the Connor Stallions documentary. I haven't watched it yet.

795
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,320
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I will. To be honest

796
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: with you, I thought it was awesome. Maybe I should

797
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 1: check it out. Actually, if you thought it was awesome. Second,

798
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:22,800
Speaker 1: why does the NBC B team suck? Colt McCoy Jason Garrett?

799
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: Really thanks? I had a bunch of you. I want

800
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: to get Colt on this podcast. I think he'd be

801
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,399
Speaker 1: pretty interesting. He just has had an interesting football life.

802
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: But I know, a lot of people have fired in

803
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: my DMS and said he was pretty boring in the.

804
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:38,359
Speaker 2: Game he did.

805
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 1: Was it two weeks ago? I think he did the

806
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 1: Boise State Oregon game, because he did a couple of

807
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,359
Speaker 1: Peacock games. Maybe he did the Notre Dame game. Now

808
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: I'm confusing my teams, you know, my broadcast teams. But

809
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: I do think the hard part for some of these

810
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: guys that immediately quit football and then do that job

811
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: is the energy that it takes to bring it. You know,

812
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: it's understandable to not know how you sound because you've

813
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: never been in that situation. There's a big difference between

814
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: being in a press conference, being asked questions, doing a

815
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 1: radio interview where there's nothing on the line for you

816
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 1: as a player, then then just immediately transition to being

817
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: the entertainment. I didn't watch Brady on Sunday, but by

818
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,839
Speaker 1: all accounts, he was much better, which I hope he is.

819
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: I want him to be good. But I do think

820
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: like we are all professional football consumers, like that's what

821
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 1: we've been doing our whole life. Yet for these guys,

822
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: you know, Colt McCoy, Brady, they've been playing in the

823
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: NFL for so many years that like they don't watch

824
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,240
Speaker 1: football like we do because the majority of their Sundays

825
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: they're not sitting at home watching the games, and they're

826
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 1: definitely not viewing it. When you're playing through the lens

827
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 1: of like how's this guy sound, they're actually looking like, oh,

828
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: we play this team in two weeks. I wonder what

829
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 1: they're doing. So it's a tough transition. It's why these

830
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 1: huge personalities Madden, Gruden, Berkley, it kind of makes sense

831
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: that they're just good. They're just a mass I was

832
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: a huge, huge believer that Philip Rivers would have been awesome.

833
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 1: Why he's a big personality. He's just a gregarious aggressive

834
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: in a in like a you know, PG way, he

835
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: would have been awesome. But Drew Brees is a good example.

836
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 1: He keeps and I saw this recently as like I

837
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:41,359
Speaker 1: think I would be the best in the business if

838
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: I got another shot. Like I don't know if you would, Drew,

839
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: I really don't. Not because you're not a great guy,

840
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 1: not because you weren't a great player, not because you

841
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 1: know you're a smart guy.

842
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 2: But like this is entertainment. You watch Collinsworth.

843
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 1: One thing I've really noticed these last, Collinsworth is just

844
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: he's an entertainer, and that's what This is the biggest

845
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: television show in America now.

846
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 2: Are football games.

847
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 1: Millions of people are watching it, and that guy, while

848
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,840
Speaker 1: he has a tough job because he talks in little

849
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: ten twenty second increments, has to be entertaining and has

850
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: to have a lot of energy. Like ultimately, at this point,

851
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 1: Trey Aigman hasn't played in the NFL in twenty five years. Well,

852
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,799
Speaker 1: you're Treyigman retire ninety nine, two thousand. He's been gone

853
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,319
Speaker 1: for a long period of time. So there is a

854
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,839
Speaker 1: twenty four year old who's gonna I'm recording this part

855
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 1: before Monday Night. But every night on Monday night football

856
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:40,760
Speaker 1: that watches that never saw one snap of Troy Aigman.

857
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 2: I bet most people my age.

858
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 1: That are casual football people have no clue what position

859
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 1: Chris Collinsworth played, or that he even played. By the

860
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 1: time I was a kid, I never saw John Madden coach.

861
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 2: It didn't matter though, because he was just a TV star.

862
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,360
Speaker 1: I think how many people on television watch Charles Barkley

863
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: have no clue that he was one of the great

864
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:04,760
Speaker 1: players of his generation.

865
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter.

866
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 1: Because he's a TV star, it's not his playing career.

867
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,359
Speaker 1: At this point in time, it's kind of irrelevant. He's

868
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: ever entertained me, and that's his job and he's great

869
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,320
Speaker 1: at it. So I think that's a problem for a

870
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:21,240
Speaker 1: lot of guys is like they get in the situation

871
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: on television and there's a time and a place for it.

872
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: You go to Belichick's YouTube channel like they're kind of

873
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 1: getting nerdy, but like the casual fan doesn't need super nerdy.

874
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: I want to be entertained. So you have to balance

875
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 1: like telling me what's going on with a little pizzazz,

876
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: and definitely you gotta have energy. You gotta have energy.

877
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: If you don't, I'm not necessarily gonna change the game

878
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 1: because this is not a podcast, right I'm going to

879
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 1: the game to watch the game. But who's calling the

880
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 1: game is very additive, and if it's good, it makes

881
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 1: for a really nice experience. NBC's got a good thing

882
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: going right now. Love the show, Appreciate it. You're a

883
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 1: fact based Some people would disagree with you. I'm a

884
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 1: big Niner fan, grew up in Modesto that would be

885
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: the valley in California and have family that are alumni

886
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 1: for Fresno State Go Dogs. Question, in your opinion, is

887
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:23,359
Speaker 1: brock perty a top ten quarterback? I feel like your

888
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,959
Speaker 1: boy on the Herd, who I listen to a lot,

889
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 1: and Nick Right are always hating.

890
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,879
Speaker 2: Yes, he's a top ten quarterback, but.

891
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 1: He's like the reality is, and this is why he's

892
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 1: such a polarizing player. He's closer to ten than he

893
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 1: is one. I mean, he's probably somewhere between eight to ten,

894
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 1: which if your quarterback or your head coach is Kyle Shanahan,

895
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 1: and you know you're in pretty good shape. If you

896
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: give Kyle Shanahan the eighth best, ninth best quarterback in

897
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 1: the NFL, you're gonna win a lot of games. I

898
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: have what I think is an unpopular opinion.

899
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:00,760
Speaker 2: Would love to hear your thoughts.

900
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:06,359
Speaker 1: I think Anthony Richardson is just another Instagram quarterback.

901
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 2: Like Justin Fields.

902
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:11,880
Speaker 1: Justin Fields watch the last two Steelers weeks. He's not

903
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: playing bad. He looks better than he did with the Bears.

904
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 1: Crazy talented, but he can't throw accurately and intentional and intentionally.

905
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 1: He just has huge splash plays and looks cool on

906
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 1: social media. Ar is just the newer version, what do

907
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:36,279
Speaker 1: you think beside two throws so far this season.

908
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 2: He's been abysmal.

909
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: He's been really, really bad, and I'm rooting for him,

910
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: and I'm guilty. I put out that throw on all

911
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 1: my social media channels because it was exciting week one

912
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 1: where he threw it really far in the air off

913
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 1: his back foot. But to lose that game yesterday and

914
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 1: to look as atrocious as he did was pretty disheartening.

915
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: And as someone who believed the Colts were going to

916
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: be a playoff team, obviously their defense is not good

917
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 1: right now at all, but you can't make the playoffs

918
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 1: with that level of quarterback play. And Shane Stiken gets

919
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:14,720
Speaker 1: a lot of credit for what he did with Jalen,

920
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:17,320
Speaker 1: but Jalen had a lot more touch than Anthony Richardson

921
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:20,400
Speaker 1: at the same time. You know, now he didn't have

922
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 1: as big of arm, but he was a better thrower.

923
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson against the Packers looked man really bad.

924
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 2: Question for the POD.

925
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 1: With Week one seeing the fewest three hundred yard passing

926
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 1: games in almost a decade and the most one hundred

927
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: yard rusher since eleven, do you think the league is

928
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 1: turning back to being more running back reliant or do

929
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 1: you think that can be contributed to something else. Well,

930
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:55,840
Speaker 1: I think the training camps being so watered down. You practice,

931
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 1: you get an off day, like basically twice a week.

932
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: You can only practice.

933
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 2: Three eight days.

934
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:03,880
Speaker 1: Most teams are not that aggressive in terms of the pads.

935
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 1: No one for the most part plays in the preseason.

936
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 1: I do think when you look around the league, there

937
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 1: are a lot of good running backs, like really good

938
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 1: running backs. Just watching football yesterday, think about like who

939
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 1: played well. James Connor, really good player, Alvin Kamara, pro

940
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 1: Bowl level player the Vikings, Aaron Jones, pro Bowl level player,

941
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:36,720
Speaker 1: Jordan Mason, really good player, Josh Jacobs for the Raiders,

942
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 1: high end player, Brian Robinson really good player for Washington.

943
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking, off the top of my head, some

944
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 1: of the running backs.

945
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 2: Cook for the Bills really good. I just think most

946
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 2: teams feel.

947
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:58,439
Speaker 1: Really good about their starting running back. So maybe there's

948
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 1: just been an influx of really good, just solid running

949
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 1: backs all over the NFL. Most teams have good ones,

950
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 1: right Look at the Sunday Night game. DeAndre Swift's good player.

951
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon's got banged up in that game, but he's

952
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 1: a good player.

953
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 2: So I think if you.

954
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 1: Just go around the league, Kenneth Walker for Seattle, Stevenson

955
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 1: for the Patriots, like most teams, feel pretty good. Like

956
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:21,880
Speaker 1: my running back would start on most teams in the NFL.

957
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 1: Even my most optimistic views for my Saints didn't have

958
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 1: games like that on the Bingo card at all. With

959
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 1: the way Kubiak has the offense looking, combined with the

960
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 1: way Dennis's defense has always and continues to look, and

961
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 1: a schedule with a trip week five to KC for

962
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 1: a little Monday night football. God, I haven't even looked

963
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 1: ahead at the schedule that is a good Monday night

964
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:53,840
Speaker 1: football game. Are we a sneaky one seed contender?

965
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 2: Uh? That's funny.

966
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 1: I was texting with someone in the Saints world and

967
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 1: today and I asked him like, did you guys think

968
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 1: you're going to be this good? And he basically said,

969
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of potential in training camp. Our

970
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:19,840
Speaker 1: offensive system is too good. It's literally original Bill Walsh

971
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 1: West Coast offense, no additives or preservatives. I don't think

972
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 1: defenses nowadays are used to that. We're not gonna abandon

973
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,359
Speaker 1: the run. And I say this all the time about

974
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 1: Kubiak's and the Shanahans. They're the same family. Gary Kubiak

975
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: played for Mike Shanahan, then he worked for Mike Shanahan,

976
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:42,320
Speaker 1: was his quarterback coach and his offensive coordinator. Then Kyle

977
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 1: worked for Gary. They are one and the same, and

978
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,360
Speaker 1: there is a small percentage of offensive coaches in this

979
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 1: league that will stick with the run, and it makes

980
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,799
Speaker 1: it so much. Obviously, you have to have success in

981
00:53:56,840 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 1: the ground game, but you have to like you can't

982
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 1: abandon it. And when you stick with it, it wears

983
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:06,719
Speaker 1: out your defense. And when you practice like that, it

984
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:10,880
Speaker 1: hardens your defense. And their defense was already good. So listen,

985
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 1: I didn't know Clint Kubiak. I assumed he was gonna

986
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: be good. He clearly has been better. But if you

987
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 1: can run the ball that well, it makes it way

988
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:21,720
Speaker 1: easier on Derek, who's proven if he's on good teams,

989
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 1: he can function like you know, somewhere between the eighth

990
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 1: and twelfth best quarterback in the NFL. Obviously, he started

991
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 1: really hot this year. But my point is is run

992
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 1: the ball, and when you can run the ball effectively,

993
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 1: which the Shanahan's and Kubiaks won't just do, they will

994
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:41,919
Speaker 1: stick with I say this all the time. McVeigh gets

995
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:45,840
Speaker 1: much more pass happy. Lafleor is much closer to a

996
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 1: Shanahan Kubiak. Look at that game, like the game against Indy,

997
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 1: was this Picasso right for.

998
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 2: Two hundred and sixty yards? Two hundred and sixty yards.

999
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 1: I think a lot of coaches would have still tried

1000
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 1: to have some of their passing place work with Malik

1001
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 1: Willis once they had a little early success, We're just

1002
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: gonna run the shit out of the ball. So Saints, listen,

1003
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 1: you guys know where I stood on them. I was

1004
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:12,479
Speaker 1: high on them. I didn't think they'd be this good.

1005
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:15,279
Speaker 1: Dennis Allen, Derek Carr didn't think they'd be this good.

1006
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: You go in and curb stomp the Cowboys like that

1007
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 1: in the home opener with Tom Brady calling the game.

1008
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 1: Afternoon Big fan thoughts on the Niners and Vikings game.

1009
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 1: Even though it sucked, we lost, It's only Week two

1010
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 1: and I'm really worried about the Niner season moving forward.

1011
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 1: Definitely think we need to lose early in the season

1012
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:37,680
Speaker 1: then later when it matters. Definitely think the O line

1013
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 1: needs to tighten up and Perdy getting sacked six times,

1014
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 1: and I would like to see Perdy in those situations

1015
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: if you can move around. I also think it's a

1016
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 1: good lesson for a defensive coordinator and secondary facing teams

1017
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:53,399
Speaker 1: with good wide receivers. So I think we're still good

1018
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 1: looking forward wasn't even a question. Deebo Samuel has a

1019
00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 1: calf injury and is going to miss several weeks, which

1020
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 1: is not ideal. Luckily, they're playing the Rams, whose entire

1021
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 1: team is in the hospital. I don't think I can remember.

1022
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 1: I don't think there's been a team that's been as

1023
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 1: banged up.

1024
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 2: As early as the Rams. I mean, they just lost.

1025
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 1: In a two week span Poka Nakua and Cooper Cup.

1026
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:24,280
Speaker 1: They can't afford to lose those two guys. Their offensive

1027
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 1: line was always already had a lot of moving parts,

1028
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 1: but to lose those two players, how do they function

1029
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 1: as an offense? How much do owners and gms pay

1030
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 1: attention to what fans are saying, whether it be on radio,

1031
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:41,399
Speaker 1: social media, or in public settings. The reason I asked

1032
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:44,400
Speaker 1: because the Colts fans essentially begged or say, to fire

1033
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:47,479
Speaker 1: Gus Bradley. They of course didn't, and now he looks

1034
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 1: like one of the worst DC's in the league.

1035
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 2: This season.

1036
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 1: Imagine letting two hundred and sixty two rushing yards in

1037
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 1: a half against a team that has Malik Willis at quarterback.

1038
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 1: Do owners listen to the fans? I think you have

1039
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:05,719
Speaker 1: to separate listening here. I think coaches, because of their

1040
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:08,359
Speaker 1: work schedule, it's harder to.

1041
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 2: Read and listen to everything.

1042
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 1: Now their family is going to you know, if their

1043
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 1: wife's at home, their parents, their brothers or sisters are

1044
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:20,439
Speaker 1: going to see a lot of the content. But their

1045
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:24,919
Speaker 1: weeks are pretty busy, especially early on right Monday Long Day,

1046
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:28,600
Speaker 1: Tuesday Long Day, Wednesday Long Day. So by the time

1047
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 1: they kind of come up for air and have a

1048
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:35,000
Speaker 1: little free time Thursday Friday, everyone's kind of looking ahead.

1049
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 1: Gms and definitely owners have way more time. Their televisions

1050
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 1: are always on, whether it's NFL Network, whether it's McAfee.

1051
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:49,440
Speaker 1: Like I would imagine in basically every GM's office during

1052
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 1: the day, McAfee or Coward is on, and McAfee and

1053
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 1: Coward are on through the majority of the league on

1054
00:57:55,920 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 1: their televisions, and a lot of gms listen to that

1055
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 1: stuff and owners as well. I would say owners are

1056
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 1: probably more inclined to listen to the local radio where

1057
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 1: GM's probably fifty to fifty. They might be listening to

1058
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 1: podcasts or whatever. But if you're in their position, like

1059
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: you might just flip through when you're driving around to

1060
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 1: hear what they're saying. So they hear everything. Now do

1061
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 1: they listen to it or do they let it impact

1062
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:27,600
Speaker 1: their decision? I would say not always. Sometimes for sure,

1063
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 1: like they know what's being said, like John Moran knows

1064
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 1: what's being said. Jeffrey Lewy last year knows what's being said.

1065
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 1: It's unavoidable tell you this, scouts listen to it all.

1066
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 1: I have a technical football question for you. I have

1067
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:46,920
Speaker 1: seen and heard you talk about the nonsense of calling

1068
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 1: timeouts in the third quarter instead of taking a five

1069
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 1: yard penalty for delay a game. Well, that makes sense

1070
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 1: the majority of the time. I wonder if there is

1071
00:58:56,360 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 1: ever an exception. For example, watching the chief first, the

1072
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 1: Bengals and Burrow took a time out on third and

1073
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:07,440
Speaker 1: inches inside the five yard line. A five yard penalty

1074
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 1: in that case changes a lot from a play calling perspective.

1075
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 1: But you obviously don't want to lose a time out

1076
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 1: when this game will probably come down.

1077
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:17,360
Speaker 2: To the wire.

1078
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:20,560
Speaker 1: If you are the coach, do you burn a time

1079
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 1: out in this situation, or trust Burrow to make a

1080
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 1: play on third and five at the nine yard line. Thanks,

1081
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:33,280
Speaker 1: I don't have the game book open right now, but

1082
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 1: let's just let's just pick a score for our And

1083
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 1: I might be off on this, but let's just say

1084
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 1: at the time it was a one point game, you're

1085
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 1: down one point. I can live with taking a time

1086
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:51,439
Speaker 1: out in that situation. Five yard line, third in inches one,

1087
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 1: you get a first down your more. You know, percentages

1088
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 1: are heavy on your side to score a touchdown, and

1089
00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 1: a touchdown in that situation is enorm miss where I

1090
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 1: can't get behind. So I can live with that. It

1091
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 1: is difficult for me when it's like a ten point

1092
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 1: game and you are at the fifty yard line and

1093
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 1: you feel like you have to score to get back

1094
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:17,720
Speaker 1: in the game, where really like you're still gonna get

1095
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:21,320
Speaker 1: four positions left, You blow the time out, you end

1096
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 1: up punting anyway, and all of a sudden you've given

1097
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 1: up a timeout. More likely you get a stop, you

1098
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 1: get the ball back, you're back in the same position.

1099
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 1: I know, a little time's off the clock, but it's

1100
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 1: like a ten point game in the third quarter is

1101
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 1: not that big a deal. You're one big play in

1102
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 1: a good defensive situation away from being right in the game,

1103
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:42,439
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, it's a three point

1104
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 1: game with five minutes left, and you look at you

1105
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 1: got one timeout, and let's face it, because of the

1106
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 1: two minute warning. If you got the three timeouts in

1107
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 1: an under four or five minute situation, you really got

1108
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 1: four timeouts in your back pocket because of that two

1109
01:00:55,200 --> 01:01:04,439
Speaker 1: minutes clock stoppage. Make exceptions depending on the score and

1110
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 1: depending on.

1111
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:10,640
Speaker 2: The yard line.

1112
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:14,160
Speaker 1: So in your example, yeah, that's not the end of

1113
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:17,040
Speaker 1: the world. But I also think then it puts extra

1114
01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 1: pressure on like we better score this touchdown. NFL adding

1115
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 1: another game, not that one game dilutes the inventory that much,

1116
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 1: But I've wondered if it would be smarter, if it

1117
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:40,000
Speaker 1: would be smarter quality wise to add another bye week

1118
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:42,959
Speaker 1: for every team and it gives them one more week

1119
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 1: of games without the wear and tear. The stadiums don't

1120
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 1: get another week of ticket sales, but TV gets another

1121
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 1: week to spread games out. It might help the money

1122
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:58,600
Speaker 1: they put games on different weekdays too. Yeah, I mean,

1123
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:03,440
Speaker 1: I I don't think it's a lock, because it's not.

1124
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:07,959
Speaker 1: If it's when they add this eighteenth game that we

1125
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:11,600
Speaker 1: get the second by even though everyone and their mother

1126
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 1: wants it to happen, all the players, all the coaches,

1127
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:20,800
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a lock. Elijah Mitchell was a

1128
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:24,600
Speaker 1: six round pick or something. He was there were games

1129
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:27,320
Speaker 1: just like Jordan Mason where he was getting thirty carries

1130
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 1: a game. Nobody else in the league asked their backs

1131
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 1: to do that much. Mitchell has what bounced out of

1132
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 1: the league after too many injuries. Now I question it

1133
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers are being smart or even ethical,

1134
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:44,919
Speaker 1: burning these guys out so fast to them their cheap

1135
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:48,040
Speaker 1: draft picks, and maybe these guys get their best possible

1136
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:49,240
Speaker 1: NFL life this way.

1137
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 2: Any thoughts why?

1138
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:55,400
Speaker 1: I think it's reflective of They got Christian McCaffrey, they

1139
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 1: paid him a bunch of money and they ran him

1140
01:02:57,240 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 1: into the ground. And last year Mason was on the

1141
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:04,520
Speaker 1: team and they refused to give him touches, and Kyle

1142
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 1: in the first game at like halftime was like, yeah,

1143
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of carries, like Kyle, a lot

1144
01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:08,640
Speaker 1: of carries.

1145
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:09,840
Speaker 2: He had like forty last.

1146
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:15,160
Speaker 1: Year he easily could have had eighty. And Christian McCaffrey,

1147
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 1: the wear and Teart. Now would that have avoided where

1148
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 1: he's sitting today. I don't know in terms of McCaffrey's injury,

1149
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:24,280
Speaker 1: but they wrote him into the ground. And I think

1150
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 1: Kyle really struggles with this is you can ride receivers, right,

1151
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 1: I think when you ride running backs the way he does,

1152
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 1: it's hard. Jordan Mason said after Week one, he looked

1153
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:38,720
Speaker 1: at Christian McCaffrey in the locker room and said.

1154
01:03:38,560 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 2: How do you do this?

1155
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:44,800
Speaker 1: It was one game. It's just it's a lot to

1156
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:49,440
Speaker 1: ask these guys. We're all around the league people rotate backs.

1157
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 1: I think the moment Kyle trusts one guy, he just

1158
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:59,240
Speaker 1: won't relent. And I understand when you have Christian McCaffrey healthy,

1159
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:02,840
Speaker 1: he's so good. But it's like, you don't ask Nick

1160
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 1: Bosa to go every snap. Why are you asking this guy?

1161
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:08,000
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you treat him like some other position that

1162
01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:09,040
Speaker 1: you rotate.

1163
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 2: Receivers all the time? Get a blow after a couple

1164
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 2: of routes.

1165
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:16,920
Speaker 1: I know it's week two and I trust Sean Payton,

1166
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 1: but I'm scratching my head after the Broncos loss. Granted

1167
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:22,160
Speaker 1: we have a tough start to the season and bo

1168
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:24,760
Speaker 1: Is a rookie, but he made some solid throws today

1169
01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:27,440
Speaker 1: and the receivers could not come up with him. Then

1170
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:30,040
Speaker 1: you have Sean Payton not going for the onside kick

1171
01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:31,400
Speaker 1: at the end, which makes no.

1172
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:31,840
Speaker 2: Sense to me.

1173
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:35,160
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm overreacting, but it's been a rough nine years

1174
01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 1: as a bron fan.

1175
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:37,200
Speaker 2: Broncos fan, what say you?

1176
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:41,960
Speaker 1: That was a rough watch? Uh, it was a tough matchup.

1177
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:45,520
Speaker 1: Like I would not if I did bet on that game,

1178
01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 1: I was gonna hammer the Steelers. I did not like

1179
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 1: bow Knicks against the Steelers defense. There was a visual

1180
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:55,840
Speaker 1: that went viral of Sean Payton giving the play call

1181
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 1: to bow Nicks and like bow Knicks had to call

1182
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 1: for it again and then look at his arm. I

1183
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:06,680
Speaker 1: do wonder if if Sean Payton is approaching this like

1184
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:09,680
Speaker 1: he has Drew Brees in your ten, Like shouldn't we

1185
01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 1: dumb everything down for this rookie quarterback and make a

1186
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 1: soft landing to start and then you can get aggressive

1187
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:20,800
Speaker 1: as time goes on. And I do wonder if his

1188
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 1: offense is just too complicated off the bat for a

1189
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:26,840
Speaker 1: guy who's making a second start of his NFL career,

1190
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:30,560
Speaker 1: Because think about this, and I'm not defending bo Nicks.

1191
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:31,720
Speaker 1: I thought, for the most part he.

1192
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 2: Was really bad.

1193
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 1: He looked overwhelmed, like I'm not acting like he's gonna

1194
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:40,520
Speaker 1: win the Offensive Rookie of the Year anymore. He's got

1195
01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:44,000
Speaker 1: a long way to go. But if you're playing those guys,

1196
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:47,640
Speaker 1: and if you're bo Nicks, you have to worry about

1197
01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:51,440
Speaker 1: Sean Payton's offense, which is clearly complicated from a verbiage

1198
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:54,920
Speaker 1: standpoint alone. And then you're looking over there and you

1199
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:59,920
Speaker 1: got fifty six and ninety high Smith and Watt, You're like, any.

1200
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 2: Moment and I could be crushed.

1201
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:05,080
Speaker 1: I got McGlinchey out there, whose athletic ability relative to

1202
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 1: NFL players is not great, and TJ. Watt is a

1203
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:11,840
Speaker 1: high end athlete in running circles around him, and I'm

1204
01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:14,840
Speaker 1: running around for my life. But I'm trying to worry

1205
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 1: about that. It's just a lot going on, and I

1206
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:19,040
Speaker 1: wonder if Sean Payton just needs to kind of dumb

1207
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:22,080
Speaker 1: it down. Take a deep breath question for the pod

1208
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 1: and an apology. I've noticed coaches, mainly offensive minded coaches

1209
01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:32,480
Speaker 1: taking notes on their play sheet after a play. Are

1210
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 1: they writing the success of the play, what the defensive

1211
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:40,440
Speaker 1: tipped or showed whenever you made your prediction that the

1212
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:43,960
Speaker 1: Saints would be good and maybe even win the division.

1213
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:50,240
Speaker 2: I turned that episode off and called you crazy.

1214
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 1: You were right, I was wrong. We got a long

1215
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:58,880
Speaker 1: way to go. But they're a playoff team. Uh, that's

1216
01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:02,920
Speaker 1: a good question. I'm having a former head coach on

1217
01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:05,880
Speaker 1: the podcast in the next couple of days. I will

1218
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:09,040
Speaker 1: ask him that question. I've obviously, I've never been a

1219
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:12,280
Speaker 1: head coach. I've never done that. My guess is a

1220
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:15,360
Speaker 1: lot of different things. It might be as simple as

1221
01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:20,400
Speaker 1: that play we've been running against a certain coverage. Standing

1222
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:24,560
Speaker 1: here on the sideline, it's not gonna work. Or I

1223
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:28,320
Speaker 1: see something that they're doing that we should implement, so

1224
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:31,760
Speaker 1: make a note, or just a big picture like so

1225
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:35,120
Speaker 1: and so is not doing this right, but you don't

1226
01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:38,080
Speaker 1: really have time to like coach everything up in the moment,

1227
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 1: or maybe just some big picture thoughts like I hate

1228
01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 1: the way we're coming off the ball, or I don't

1229
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 1: think our nickel corner is lining up in the right

1230
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:52,919
Speaker 1: spots on a certain coverage right, or our running back

1231
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:56,960
Speaker 1: is not going to the right spot on a certain play.

1232
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:00,440
Speaker 1: I think it could be an unlimited amount of things.

1233
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:04,360
Speaker 1: So I don't think it's just each play worked or

1234
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:08,240
Speaker 1: didn't work. I think it would encompass anything you could

1235
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:14,000
Speaker 1: possibly think about. Light so and so looks heavy. He's

1236
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 1: playing slow. We need to really harp on him about

1237
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:21,840
Speaker 1: his diet. I bet there's nothing under the sun that

1238
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:24,400
Speaker 1: a coach hasn't written down because it's just a note

1239
01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:27,880
Speaker 1: to himself, so he doesn't forget maybe even later that day.

1240
01:08:27,920 --> 01:08:30,920
Speaker 1: It might not even be specific to that game. It

1241
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:34,240
Speaker 1: might be something that he wants to address on Monday

1242
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:36,840
Speaker 1: to the team or to a player or to a

1243
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:43,440
Speaker 1: position coach. So I think it's just it probably encompasses

1244
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:48,360
Speaker 1: a lot, and I don't think it's just did it

1245
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 1: work did it not work. It might sometimes I hate

1246
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:54,760
Speaker 1: this play against this coverage, or we should keep this

1247
01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:58,400
Speaker 1: in our back pocket, We should have ran this against

1248
01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:01,120
Speaker 1: what that look they're giving us when we go to uh,

1249
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:07,600
Speaker 1: you know, five wide or you know whatever. Certain personnel

1250
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:15,479
Speaker 1: groups the volume m
