All right, Dave juanstat is going to 9 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,200 Speaker 1: be joining us in about ten minutes. I got two 10 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 1: big thoughts, one from college football and one from pro 11 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 1: football over the weekend. So you know, there's some things 12 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: in the NFL that are really hard to predict. You know, 13 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: I'm watching Washington and Jacksonville yesterday. It was just a 14 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: bit of a mess. I'm watching the Niners and the 15 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: Bears and the weather and two young quarterbacks. It's a 16 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: bit of a mess. The easiest thing to predict in 17 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,199 Speaker 1: the NFL to me was green Bay struggling with Minnesota 18 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: on the road. And you know, this is something that 19 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers tries to give off this air of mystery, 20 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: but the truth is he's the most predictable guy in 21 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: the NFL. Is that you knew it would be an issue. 22 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: Two small school rookie wide receivers opening on the road 23 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: in Minnesota in the biggest stadium they've ever played in. 24 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 1: You know, they make the mistakes that small school wide 25 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: receivers would make debuting in the NFL in a division game, 26 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 1: and he ghosted them. Aaron Rodgers did what we said 27 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: all offseason long, this is what he does. He goes friends, 28 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: he goes teammates. Christian Watson dropped a pass. He didn't 29 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: throw his way again until the fourth quarter. Oh dude, 30 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: you're not going to beat Justin Jefferson in Minnesota. Thrown 31 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: to A J. Dillon and then the young receiver from Nevada, 32 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: Romeo Dubbs. There was a miscommunication early. It happens, it's loud. 33 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: He played it in Nevada in a small stadium, small conference, 34 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: little miscommunication and Aaron Rodgers ghosts him and Matt Lafleur 35 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: had to use both of them in reverses to get 36 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: them back into the game because Aaron wouldn't throw to them. So, 37 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: I know a lot of you love Aaron Rodgers, but 38 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:28,679 Speaker 1: it was so absolutely predictable. Colin Christian Watson dropped an 39 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: easy touchdown. Since twenty nineteen, do you know what quarterbacks 40 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,959 Speaker 1: have dealt with the most drops from their receivers and 41 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: tight ends? Tom Brady one, Josh Allen two, Patrick Mahomes three, 42 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:47,839 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers thirteen. He didn't have that many drops. So 43 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: occasionally rookie wide receivers are a little over their skis. Okay, 44 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 1: if you throw a lot, you get drops. In this league, 45 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: everybody's quarterback who's struggles. Wow, we had receivers drop the ball. 46 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: Brady Alan Mahomes lead the NFL in drops since twenty nineteen. 47 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: Do they go back to those wide receivers. Damn straight, 48 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: they do. You can't be petty and hold grudges during 49 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: football games. Guys open, get in the rock now, offensive 50 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: line play. They had some injuries. Don't make excuses. Tom 51 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: Brady's offensive line was a mess. He looked good. Trubisky's 52 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: with a mess. He won. Justin Field's offensive line. He's 53 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: been a mess for two years. He won. Yeah, Green 54 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: Bay had some injuries. But Aaron Rodgers once again, he's single. 55 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: He's never had kids. You learn something when you have children. 56 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: You have to understand they make a lot of mistakes. 57 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: You don't ghost him. And this has been my thing 58 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: with Aaron. Never married, no kids, He didn't have to 59 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: sacrifice much. He didn't have to show a lot of patients. 60 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: He wants to go play golf, he can play golf. 61 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: He wants to work out, he can work out. He 62 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: wants to go to a concerting. That's not the way 63 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: it works when you're surrounded with others in the same house. 64 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: Sometimes I feel like in the entertainment industry, musicians, actors, athletes, 65 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: if they're really successful and they get rich early in 66 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: their twenties, they get a little self indulgent, a little 67 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: self absorbed, and it's hard to deal with the word 68 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: no or sacrifice. I mean, it's like Tom Cruise. Tom 69 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 1: Cruise was a rock star, like late twenties, early thirties. 70 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: Suddenly he's an expert on antidepressants. Suddenly we have to 71 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: know about his religion. It's like, dude, you're a great 72 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: movie star. Be a movie star. And I find his 73 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: errand's gotten richer and older. Now I know what he 74 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: thinks about every opinion in politics now, and I know 75 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,359 Speaker 1: what he thinks about our government. He's making comments to 76 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: Bill Maher about the state of California, It's like, bro, 77 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: I'm not a shut up and dribble guy. I'm not 78 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: a stay in your life guy. I'm really not actors. 79 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: You guys talk about whatever you want to talk about. 80 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: But I do think with Aaron, when you're successful and 81 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: rich early, you don't have to sacrifice. You kind of 82 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: get what you want all the time. And I think 83 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: if you have young receivers, you have to understand people 84 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: can't play to your standard. Aaron goes, what about the 85 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: standard of Green Bay? Well, what about it? You're Aaron Rodgers. 86 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: You can't expect the twenty two year old rookie wide 87 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: receiver to play to your standard on the road first 88 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: NFL game. They're not going to play to your standard. 89 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 1: You really think Tom Brady thinks a rookie tight end 90 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 1: is going to play to his standard. And when I 91 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: watched him ghost those wide receivers yesterday, I thought that 92 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: was so absolutely predictable. Of course, they made mistakes. They 93 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: were small college wide receivers. They never played in front 94 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: of sixty thousand people before, forget a divisional game against 95 00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: the Vikings. So Ian Rappaport tweeting that Prescott is probably 96 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: back October thirtieth, which means seven more games without Dak Prescott. Well, 97 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: here's the good news. Bears Lions Washington at home. Also 98 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: the New York Giants. That game's on the road. Can 99 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: you win three of those four? If you can, you're 100 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: three and five with Cooper Rush. Dak comes back in 101 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: that division. I think you're fine. Listen the NFC right now, 102 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: go look at the standings. Google the standings. Rams offensive 103 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: lines an issue. Arizona looks to be a mess. Right 104 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: green Bay scored seven points. Start looking around. Tom Brady's 105 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: offensive line in shambles. They just lost left tackle Donovan Smith, 106 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: San Francisco Trey Lance. Will they be able to score? 107 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: It's not the end of the season. Can Cooper Rush 108 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: win you three of the remaining seven games? Bears Lions, 109 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: Giants at home in Washington? Those are winnable games. I mean, 110 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,239 Speaker 1: Cooper rushes a backup for a reason, but it doesn't 111 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: mean that backups can't win in this league. So again, 112 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: is the sky falling? Well, we didn't think the Cowboys 113 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: were great anyway, three and five Dak returns. I wouldn't 114 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: leave the building to try to find a solution. I 115 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: wouldn't give up draft capital and a player for Jimmy Garoppolo. 116 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: Cowboys need draft capital, Okay, they need salary cap space. 117 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: And by the way, Niners, after Trey Lance's opener, they're 118 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: not giving up Jimmy Garoppolo either. How many how many 119 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: draft picks would you have to give San Francisco to 120 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: get Jimmy Garoppolo? Now, so the sky isn't falling. This 121 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: isn't the Buffalo Bills or Kansas City. It's not much 122 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: of a fall. This was going to be like an 123 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: eight win team. Maybe they're now seven. But I think 124 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: your answers in the building. Can Cooper rush play? Is 125 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: he good enough to go three and five? I think 126 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: he is a big part of college football coach's success 127 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: is recruiting a lot of these guys are not great coaches. 128 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: I mean take Nick Saban bombed in the NFL, Steve 129 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: Spurrier bombed in the NFL, Urban Meyer bombed in the NFL. 130 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: The NFL is a coaches league. College football is different. 131 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: That's why a lot of college football success stories. They're 132 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: good looking, fit men, Mel Tucker, Urban Meyer, Ryan Day. 133 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: They have to walk into a house and press mom, 134 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: dad and the kid. In the NFL, it's not exactly 135 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: a runway fashion show, right. Some of these guys hoodies, 136 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: they're overweight, they look tired. Because you select the players, 137 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: the players don't select you. And so a lot of 138 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: these college coaches aren't really great coaches. Jimbo Fisher is 139 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: a prime example of a guy that can recruit like 140 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: nobody's business. He's not a great coach, he's not an 141 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: ex as a nose guy. He's a great recruiter. He 142 00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: can build a staff, but you know, Saban spur Ye, 143 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: Urban Meyer, they're overwhelmed by the nuances and the schemes 144 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: of the NFL. It's the best coaching league, the NFL, 145 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 1: but college isn't about coaching. That's why Lincoln Riley is different. 146 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley's a decent recruiter, but he's more academic. And 147 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: when I talk to my general managers and my people 148 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: in the NFL that I've been dealing with for ten 149 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,839 Speaker 1: twenty years, they all say the same thing. Lincoln Riley 150 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: intellectually is at a completely different level than ninety nine 151 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: percent of coaches. Is he a great recruiter, He's not 152 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: a phony. He's not somebody that's going to walk into 153 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: a room and he's Okay, can play the game. But 154 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: if you watch what USC is doing with Caleb Williams, 155 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: I know it's Rice, I know what's Stanford, but you 156 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 1: know the quarterbacks completing eighty percent of his throws, the 157 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 1: manipulation of personnel, the jumbo sets, the constant movement, the 158 00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: mixing of run and pass sets. It's just different level. 159 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: So you know, when I hear the criticisms of you know, 160 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley he's not a great recruiter, that's because he's 161 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: actually a really good XS and o's coach. And there's 162 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: a feeling right now among NFL people there's only one 163 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: or two coaches at the college level that could really 164 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: walk into the NFL and schematically do really well. I 165 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 1: mean people people love Matt Rule. He looks a little 166 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: overwhelmed in the NFL. Spurrier Saban Urban Meyern, like Lou Holtz, 167 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 1: by the way, completely overwhelmed in the NFL when he 168 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: coached for the Jets, because Lou was a salesman, a 169 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 1: motivational speaker. You'll find a lot of these coaches make 170 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: their money in the offseason doing motivational speeches. Belichick doesn't, 171 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: Andy Reid doesn't. That's not what they do. They coach. 172 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: So you know, when I look at Lincoln Riley and 173 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 1: the people, the naysayers, you don't have any contacts like 174 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: the people that are connected. No, and they're not going 175 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: to go undefeated. USC has one NFL player in their 176 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 1: front seven. Defensively, they're given up over five yards of 177 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: play to Stanford and Rice. Fresno State's going to score 178 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 1: on him, Utah's going to score on him. Ucla is 179 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: going to score on him. Hell Arizona may score on him. 180 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: They're not an undefeated roster. They're not an undefeated team. 181 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,839 Speaker 1: That's not what they are. You can only overcome so much. 182 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: But what Lincoln Riley is is really bright and really smart, 183 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: and he wanted to carve out his own career and 184 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 1: he inherited Bob Stoops his culture and motivation. He wanted 185 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 1: to do his own thing. But make no doubt about it, 186 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: the people in the NFL, that's where the real big 187 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: boy coaching is. They consider Lincoln Riley a step above 188 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: the Sabans, the Jimbos, even the Hardballs. And I like 189 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh, but they consider him a step above Jim 190 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: in terms of schematics football seasons underway, So now is 191 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: the perfect time to download Fan Duel, America's number one 192 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: sports book.

Let's start in Chicago's 244 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: So you know, I said this, it's not a great 245 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: offensive line to have one receiver. I like to defensive 246 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: head coach and the Niners had to me much better personnel. 247 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: It wasn't spectacular, but I thought he played a pretty 248 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: smart fourth quarter. He didn't make a lot of big mistakes. 249 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: My takeaway was on kind of a if I would 250 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: grade him based on what he had how he played late. 251 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: I thought Justin Fields was okay. I thought it was okay. 252 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: How did you view it? I felt the same way. 253 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: He did a couple of things in that game that 254 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: he would have never done a year ago. So that 255 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: tells me that he is maturing mentally. And he showed 256 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: something on the first touchdown play when he got flushed 257 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: out of the pocket yep and he rode out and 258 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: the Bears and Justin Fields talked about this this summer 259 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: that he had never worked on a scramble drill before 260 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: and other words, went to quarterback scrambles like it was 261 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: to the left. The receivers on that side work back 262 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: to the ball. They give him specific specific things what 263 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: to do on a scramble, and the receivers away kind 264 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: of drift away to get away from all the defenders. Well, 265 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: a year ago, there's not a doubt in my mind 266 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: he would have tucked the ball and ran right. What 267 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: does what does he do? He looks over the pack 268 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: and he knew that his safety valve was really the 269 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: fourth guy, Dante Pettis, who he threw the touchdown too, 270 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: who was on the far side of the field, Number one. 271 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: There are a lot of guys that have that type 272 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: of arm strength to throw it that far. The wet 273 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: the ball was wet. You saw the condition to his 274 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: pouring down rain. So he made a great physical throw 275 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: and also he made a great decision. You know, I 276 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: really love what these guys are doing Luke Getsie this 277 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: offensive staff. I mean, they are really playing to his strengths. 278 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: I mean they ran the ball thirty They made thirty 279 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: seven attempts to run it and only through like eighteen 280 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: passing attempts. And it's all about giving their defensive chance 281 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 1: and given Justin Fields a chance to do what he did. 282 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: And you mentioned the second half call, and I think 283 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: this is worth mentioning. You know, in the second half 284 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: they came out and did some quarterback runs. They ran 285 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: a legitimate quarterback off jam and he kept the ball 286 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 1: and then they got him on the edge a few times. 287 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: You know, So that's all good stuff. He has to 288 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: do that stuff to be as good as he can 289 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: possibly be at this stage of his game. They didn't 290 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: run a screenplay last year, I added up I was 291 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: doing the game. I think they threw three screenplays in 292 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: the first quarter, you know, attempted screenplay. I mean. And 293 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: I remember when I was at the Bears and the 294 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: screen teams of the NFL were the Green Bay Packers 295 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: with Mike Ingram and Brent Farr, and Mike and I 296 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: would talk in the offseason. I said, Mike, you just 297 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 1: got fullback screens and tight end screens and tailback screens. 298 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: He says, day we are not that good at running 299 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: the football. We look at a screen as a running play. 300 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 1: So you know, and I tried telling the Bears fans 301 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: this last night on a TV show. I say, guys, 302 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 1: if we make four or five yards on a screen, 303 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: that's a successful play. Everybody wants a screen to go 304 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: for fifty yards. Well, if you make four yards and 305 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 1: at second down and five second down and four and 306 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,360 Speaker 1: you ran the ball, you'd be happy. That's a successful play. 307 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: So I really like what the Bears are doing to 308 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 1: try to give Justin Fields a chance to be successful. 309 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 1: You know the other thing that's important that you mentioned 310 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 1: that they played to his strengths. You go back and 311 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: you look at quarterbacks Kyler Murray jumps out to me, 312 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and Russell Wilson every year. They tend to 313 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:48,120 Speaker 1: run a little less, but their athletic ability buys them 314 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,640 Speaker 1: about twenty starts in this league as they're figuring out 315 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. All these young quarterbacks, Steve Young, 316 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: remember how much he ran early and then as Steve 317 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 1: got older, he ran and less. Is that I talked 318 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: to a coach years ago about this. He said, listen, 319 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: for a lot of these guys, you know, they start 320 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 1: one or two years of college. They their legs, give 321 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: them a year and a half to two years to 322 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: pick up yards. Russell Wilson said it year three the 323 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: light went on. Mahomes said it near too. He goes, oh, 324 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: I can finally read a defense. So my thing is, 325 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: I don't look in the first couple years of a quarterback. 326 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: I don't look negatively at running like whatever you have 327 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 1: to do to figure out yards now a big bend 328 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,159 Speaker 1: to me. And he didn't graduate out of that for 329 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: a while, like he took too many shots from like 330 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: year forty, year ten. But I do think if I 331 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: watched them yesterday, I'm like, there are guys that run 332 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: out of necessity, and then there are guys that run 333 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: to pick up yards. Do you see how many times 334 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: justin fields, I saw at least twice that he slides. 335 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: He just went. Now, he's a big athlete, Dave. He slid, 336 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: got down And to your point, a lot of these 337 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: a lot of these great athletes, all these positions. Sometimes 338 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: great athletes are harder to coach because athletic ability. It 339 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: doesn't matter what position they play. I'm with you. I 340 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 1: thought it looked like I watched him last year and 341 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: I thought he looked a little out of control. I 342 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: never felt that Sunday, No, And at his press conference 343 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: he talked about the second touchdown he threw, the second 344 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 1: touchdown he through. We ran that play at Dallas, and 345 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: we would send Darryl Johnson into the flat and we 346 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 1: would use our tight end, Jay Novachek as the guy 347 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: to get behind him. So all it really is for, 348 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: you know, is a two level pass route. You know, 349 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 1: you got one guy short and one guy deep, it 350 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: doesn't matter who they are. Well, the Bears did that 351 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 1: and they sent their their tight end kind of into 352 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: the flat, and they sent the wide receiver on the 353 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: deep route a two level pass and he said, both 354 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: guys were open, he why not throw the touchdown? You know, 355 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: I mean, so he made another good decision and understood 356 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: the concept of the play. And you know on the 357 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 1: other side of that coin, now you know Matt eberflewstat 358 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: the head coach. They people are gonna mock copy. That's 359 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: a copycat league. What he did defensively was outstanding. They 360 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: run four down lineman. What if you look at Indian 361 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 1: they were the fifth least pressure team a year ago. 362 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,880 Speaker 1: They aren't gonna blitz. So when you play a Mike 363 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: Shanahan team and you're getting motions and you're getting samuels 364 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: on reverses and offtion plays and everything, you can imagine, 365 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: the soundest defense is to line up and not play 366 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: a lot of man, not run with guys, just play vanilla, 367 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 1: don't blitz, and get caught inside. And that's what the 368 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 1: Bears did. I mean, the Bears played a very vanilla defense. 369 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,239 Speaker 1: A few pressures. The big interception that they got they 370 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: did trick them. They lined up in a four man 371 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: rush and they dropped the nose guard to make it 372 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: a three man rush and dropped Eddie Jackson the safe 373 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: in the middle of the field, so they had like 374 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: a double robber defense. And Eddie Jackson just read the eyes. 375 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,959 Speaker 1: He said it in the press conference. All I did 376 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: was study Trey Lance's eyes, and right where he looked 377 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 1: is where I've broken. He intercepted the ball. So they 378 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: did some great things. Twelve or thirteen penalties, the three 379 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: by the Bears, Okay, I mean two sacks on each team. 380 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: Tacklest losses were about the same, but the Bears beat 381 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: them in the turnover margin. The Bears beat the forty 382 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 1: nine ers turn on margin by one, and they beat 383 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,640 Speaker 1: them by penalties by you know, twelve or thirteen to three. 384 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: So you know they're playing smart football right now. It's 385 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: they're not You're gonna have to beat them. They're not 386 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: gonna beat themselves. Going I want to go to Miami. 387 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: So Josh Allen and Tua Post Tom Brady are eight 388 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 1: and one against the Patriots, And you know, Davis, you 389 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 1: well know the NFL since you entered the league, left 390 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: it now broadcasting. It's not like baseball. They're constantly changing 391 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: rules and a lot of the stuff you could do 392 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 1: defensively even seven eight years ago, you're not allowed to 393 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: do anymore. The other thing we're finding out is is 394 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 1: receivers just have more value than they've ever had. The 395 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: schemes are better. There's just some of these young offensive coaches, Dave, 396 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: they're just they're really bright guys, and they really they 397 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: use their backs in the backfield, the receivers in the 398 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: back I mean San Francisco. Now, the Miami coach, Mike McDaniel, 399 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: he just brought the Niners offense to Miami, and listen, 400 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: I think I've always said I think Tua reminds me 401 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: of a left handed Mac Jones. Can't do a ton 402 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 1: off script. But when I watched the Patriots, and this 403 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: is where I think Belichick not saying the game's passed 404 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: him by, but he's not pivoting quickly enough, Dave. When 405 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: I watched them yesterday, they are slow on the perimeter. 406 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: They don't scare Like if you were a defensive coordinator, 407 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: you would not watch their film and say, oh Jesus, 408 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 1: we got a bracket this guy. If this guy goes 409 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: in motion, I didn't. I mean, I think Miami kind 410 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 1: of played him straight up and said we think our 411 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: people can guard your people. I don't see the speed 412 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 1: with New England. What did you see? Yeah, you know, 413 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 1: you bring up a good point. I mean there, I 414 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: think they look faster. They do have speed. Uh. You 415 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 1: know the Miami Dolphins, there's no question. I mean, you 416 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: know Tyrak Hill, Uh, you know Wattle. They've got some 417 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: of the greatest athletes in this league from a from 418 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: a skill standpoint. But I think what they do with 419 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 1: those guys even makes it. Uh, you know, the perception 420 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,199 Speaker 1: is that they're faster because they're doing a lot more 421 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: motions and and we didn't see all that stuff when 422 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,919 Speaker 1: we were coaching, you know, And they're doing a lot 423 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 1: more emotions and every one of their running plays and 424 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: this is Mike Shanahan to a t. Every running play 425 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: that he runs, he has a pass play off the 426 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 1: same action. So it's real hard and it makes you 427 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: look slow. You're playing the run and all of a 428 00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: sudden it's a play action pass and you're half a 429 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: up late reacting. So do they have fast players Miami. Yes, 430 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: they've had a lot of draft picks, let's be honest, 431 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. They've done a good job. 432 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: But they also use those guys with a lot of 433 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 1: motions and a lot of fakes and and deception plays. 434 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: I call them that they can make a defense look slow. 435 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: So um, you know, but at the end of the day, 436 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, and I'm agreeing with 437 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: what you're saying. I like the pay I like the 438 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: Dolphins this year, but it still came down to three 439 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: turnovers and two it did not turn the ball over once, 440 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So all these young quarterbacks 441 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: and these teams that lost, we can beat this thing 442 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: to death with systems and philosophies. But the Dolphins, you know, 443 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: they they're loose. Everybody's having a good time down here. 444 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: We got a new coach, he's a player's coach. But 445 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,959 Speaker 1: they also played discipline football. You have to give them 446 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: credit for that. Yeah, Chicago's rookie coach and Miami's rookie 447 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: coach don't have what we would consider elite quarterbacks, and 448 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: they both picked up wins. And I think a lot 449 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 1: of in both cases, not a lot of turnovers. Quarterbacks 450 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 1: played within themselves. They played real defense. They made good 451 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 1: plays up the sideline defensively with their corners. You know. 452 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: I had Sean Payton on yesterday on Fox, and one 453 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:28,479 Speaker 1: of the things he said, he was disappointed in Aaron Rodgers, 454 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: and he said, listen, man, when you bring rookie receivers in, 455 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: these guys, you know you're you're opening game in the NFL. 456 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 1: These these two rookie receivers for Green Bay, one played 457 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: at an FCS program, the other played at Nevada. Right, 458 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: So that game in Minnesota, Dave, that's not only the 459 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: biggest crowd they've ever played in, it's a division game 460 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 1: in the NFL. You know those those are wars. So 461 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: so Christian Watson drops a pass Romeo Dubbs communication and 462 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: Sean Payton said, you got to go right back to 463 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,679 Speaker 1: these guys. You can't. You can't not throw to Christian 464 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: Watson and crush his confidence. And I said this earlier 465 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,159 Speaker 1: before I thought you on, I said, when you have kids. 466 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: Aaron didn't have any kids. I said, but when you 467 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: have kids, you learn patients they make a lot of mistakes. 468 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: You hope they don't make the same ones over and over. 469 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: But because Sean Payton really pointed it out, it's like, listen, man, 470 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: you bring rookie receivers in, they you can't expect them 471 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 1: to go on the road in their first NFL game 472 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: and light it up. You have to bake in mistakes, 473 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: and I want you to go to your career. Sometimes 474 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 1: you were forced to play young players. Sometimes they're small 475 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: college guys. Did you understand kind of innately this ship 476 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 1: could get a little rough? This is not going to 477 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: be pretty. Yeah, two thoughts on that one. I mean, 478 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 1: can you I thought about this yesterday. Aaron Rodgers didn't 479 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: play in the preseason, right, so we know that. Okay, 480 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 1: So these rookies had maybe not caught a pass with him, 481 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: and they're in they're getting their mouthpieces before the game, 482 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 1: right and getting their little call sheet, and they look 483 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,159 Speaker 1: up and boy, Aaron Rodgers, he's putting the eye black 484 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 1: on And can you that's what those guys are thinking? Wow, 485 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 1: this is for real. I'm actually gonna Aaron Rodgers is 486 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: actually gonna throw me a pass today, you know, I 487 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 1: mean on TV. No, it's a lot. But I said 488 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 1: this about the Packers, and I've looked at this thing 489 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: pretty close. You know, they used two first round draft 490 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: picks on defensive players, two great players from Georgia, and 491 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: they had a top ten defense a year ago. They 492 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: have to win And I said this, and I really 493 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: believe this, and it's gonna happen. It's gonna happen this week. 494 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: They play the Bears Sunday night in Lambeau, and this 495 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: is how they're gonna have to win. They have to 496 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: play lights out on defense. And Dylan and Aaron Jones, 497 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: they're two veteran running backs. They need to be a 498 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: huge part of their offensive attack, whether they're thrown or 499 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: to him, or whether they're running the ball. But this 500 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: needs to be pulled in a little bit. Let's let's 501 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 1: let's play a little more conservative when we have to. 502 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,479 Speaker 1: And we got to play great defense, and our special 503 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: team should be good. You know, we hired a brand 504 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: you know, one of the top special teams coaches in 505 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: the NFL. Uh So, this is how we got to 506 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: win right now, until these young receivers catch up and 507 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: we get Alan Lasar back and so forth. But Green 508 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: Bay had their top three receivers not on the field 509 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: from a year ago. Two of them left obviously, and 510 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: then and then uh Lasar, he was he was hurt. 511 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: So that's a lot for any team. So I I 512 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: put it on the defense. I'm gonna call the defense 513 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: out tomorrow and say because they didn't beat us on plays, 514 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: you know, I've always looked at it this way. If 515 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 1: it's two guys going up for the ball, then then 516 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: then we're doing a good job of coaching. And I 517 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: gotta get I uhould tell my coaches, then I gotta 518 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: go get you better players. If their guy out jumps 519 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: my guy, our guy, then it's my job to go 520 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: get better players. So we don't get out jumped. But 521 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: if guys are wide open, wide open and passes like 522 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 1: Minnesota was, it's you. It's your problem now, okay, because 523 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:22,719 Speaker 1: we got problems schematically, And I was really disappointed in defense, 524 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 1: in green based defense. I mean, I mean because they 525 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: had some easy scores. I thought, yeah, you know Kirk 526 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: Cousins and Aaron and you saw it yesterday. The veteran 527 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in this league. You know, Aaron will throw out 528 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: to the right side to his tight ends in his backs. 529 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: Those are layups for him. He gets about six of 530 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: those games. Kirk Cousins similarly, he'll do that with Theeland 531 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: or Justin Jefferson, those little eight yard outs. Young quarterbacks 532 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: don't have the experience to get all those layups. But like, 533 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: like what I found yesterday fascinating is that not only 534 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: did Aaron and Kurt get their layups. But Jesus, justin 535 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 1: Jefferson was was really wide open multiple times, multiple times, 536 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: multiple times for touchdowns, not for first times for touchdowns. 537 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: And that's I mean, you know, I just told you 538 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 1: how I look at that stuff. Hey, you know, if 539 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 1: those guys are open, what are we doing? I mean, Ski, Matt, Now, 540 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: don't tell me the player made a mistake, because then 541 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: we got too much in, you know, and simplify it, simplified. 542 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: If we're making mistakes because the players are confused, that's 543 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:36,959 Speaker 1: on me. So Dack's out for seven games. He may 544 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: come back last day of October or first game in November. 545 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: I wouldn't go out of the building for it. They play, 546 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: you know, the Lions, the Bears, the Giants, Washington. Can 547 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: they win three of their seven games? I wouldn't leave 548 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 1: the building. I wouldn't go get Garoppolo right now. I 549 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: think the Niners would make you give him a second 550 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 1: in the third round pick for Garoppolo, So I'm not 551 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: giving up that draft capital. I think Cam is sort 552 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: of shot. Cam Newton is sort of shot. My takeaway 553 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: is I would try to figure out what I have 554 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: with Cooper Rush but it's easy for me to say 555 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy could be coaching for his job. Do you 556 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: believe McCarthy, knowing he's on the hot seat, do you 557 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: think he'll go to Jerry and his son Stephen and say, 558 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: let's go pay for Garoppolo because we know this. He 559 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 1: got fired in Green Bay, Dave, and he's not liked 560 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 1: in Dallas, but Dan Quinn behind him. My takeaway is, 561 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 1: potentially is McCarthy saying, Hey, this is my career. I 562 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: go one in six in these games, I'm done it. 563 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 1: I'm done coaching in the National Football League. What do 564 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: you think McCarthy does with this news today? Dacks out 565 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: for seven games. I think they stay with what they're 566 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: doing for two reasons. One and this offense you better bring. 567 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: I don't think Garoppolo's to answer. I mean the way 568 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 1: that offensive line was walking last night, Dak was under pressure. 569 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: I mean even the great throw that he threw in 570 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: the end zone. I mean he was getting hit when 571 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 1: it happened. That offensive line right now is struggling for 572 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: whatever reason. And if you bring a quarterback in, he 573 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 1: better be an athlete. You better go. And everyone says, oh, 574 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: go talk to hotly in the backup is Baltimore, you know, 575 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: but they're not gonna get rid of him. They got 576 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: two quarterbacks on the roster. And who knows if Lamar 577 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 1: is going to be back next year, right, I mean, 578 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: you don't know what's gonna happen. And the way Lamar runs, 579 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: they so I don't. But if if they were gonna, 580 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: if I wasn't going to get a quarterback, it would 581 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: be a great athlete that can avoid pressure because he's 582 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: gonna be running. I don't have a lot of confidence 583 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: in this offensive line right now. Injuries, knew whatever a 584 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: reason put that aside. You know I didn't. When you 585 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 1: heard Jerry's comment right after the game, he was not 586 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 1: gonna let this whole thing be laid off on Dak. 587 00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: Before he talked about Dak, he was talking about, we 588 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: did not play. I was disappointed in how we played 589 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 1: as a team, and then he got into Dak. So 590 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 1: don't tell me that we lost and we looked terrible 591 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: tonight because of Dak. That's what he was saying. He 592 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 1: was saying, our football team didn't play very good tonight. 593 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 1: And so that's that's how I read into that press 594 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 1: conference and Mike's in a tough spot. He really is. 595 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,439 Speaker 1: You know, everyone's you know, line up and run the ball. 596 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 1: I mean they were in the ball. Okay, three and 597 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 1: a half yards to carry. I mean they weren't you know, 598 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: they weren't explosive. Now, let's let's stop slow down from it. 599 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: I gotta slow myself down because Tampa Bay was better 600 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,800 Speaker 1: on defense, and I remember those guys, they are good. 601 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay will be one of the top five, top 602 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: ten defenses in the National Football League. Those guys got 603 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 1: players and Pro Bowl players and difference makers on all 604 00:34:55,640 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 1: three levels. And they're not gonna be many teams line 605 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 1: up and run the ball or protect the passer, and 606 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 1: they're gonna get after everybody they play. That's just if 607 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 1: Tampa's going to be a Super Bowl team. Everybody out 608 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:10,919 Speaker 1: there it says we want the Bucks in the super Bowl. 609 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 1: If you want the Bucks in the Super Bowl, you 610 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: better hope their defense plays like they did against the Cowboys, 611 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 1: because that's what they're going to have to do to 612 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl. I mean, Tom's gonna be Tom, 613 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 1: but that defense is gonna have to play at a 614 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:27,359 Speaker 1: high level. So if Jerry says it's not about dak. 615 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,240 Speaker 1: It's about I don't like the way we played. Isn't 616 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 1: that a message at McCarthy hundred percent? And you're not 617 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,800 Speaker 1: gonna go out there. There's no personnel guy that you 618 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 1: go to and the head coach and the GM get 619 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: together like in the Bears, you know right now with 620 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 1: Ryan Pools, the GM and Matt Eberflus, they get together 621 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: and then they go to mc caskey and say we 622 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 1: need to do this. We're both in agreeance. And the 623 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 1: owner says, well, you see that from a personnel's team, 624 00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 1: we see it from MC coaching. Okay, let's do it. 625 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,839 Speaker 1: That doesn't happen in Dallas. So nothing's going to happen 626 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,359 Speaker 1: unless Jerry feels it needs to happen. And I don't 627 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 1: think it will. I do not think it will. Yeah, 628 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 1: it's um. I think Dallas is in a weird spot. 629 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 1: Jerry's talking too much. I think they've missed on too 630 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 1: many draft picks. I think they overspent on Zeke. They 631 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 1: had to let a Mari go and Randy Gregory. I 632 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 1: don't like where Dallas is. I'm a you know me, 633 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: I mean, Cowboys are my team and I just have 634 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,160 Speaker 1: a tough time right now feeling real good about him. 635 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,839 Speaker 1: I did say that I thought the defense would be better. 636 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: They should be better. This is dan Quinn's second year, 637 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 1: the player's second year in the system. He should know 638 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,360 Speaker 1: now how to how to use Nicka Parsons better. Do 639 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:45,359 Speaker 1: we play him at linebacker? Do we play him at 640 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,279 Speaker 1: and where do we play him? Where can he be 641 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 1: the most productive force? So I do think that the 642 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 1: defense is going to play good, but I don't know 643 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 1: if it's going to be another I don't know what 644 00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,439 Speaker 1: they did really good last night on defense. I turned 645 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,520 Speaker 1: that game off and didn't have a good feel about anything. Unfortunately. 646 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 1: I know you're a Pittsburgh guy, but I think this 647 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,359 Speaker 1: is what you're going to see all year. They put 648 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 1: twelve plays on a sheet, and Mitch Trubisky can run 649 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 1: those perfectly, and they get a lead, and their defense 650 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,479 Speaker 1: creates turnovers and then they're holding on for dear life 651 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 1: for the last two hours. That tells me this coaching 652 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:27,239 Speaker 1: staff doesn't trust Trubisky. And that's my takeaway. I don't 653 00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 1: mind Mahomes sitting behind Alex Smith. I don't mind. I 654 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 1: don't mind a quarterback sitting behind a guy that can play. 655 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 1: This staff they put plays on a sheet, and he 656 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,480 Speaker 1: ran them perfectly, and he got him a lead, and 657 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,920 Speaker 1: the defense did Minka Fitzpatrick coach that last two and 658 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 1: a half hours. Was a Steeler staff terrified of Mitch 659 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,920 Speaker 1: Trubisky losing the game? Was it not? Well? Know? I mean, 660 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,760 Speaker 1: now I looked this up for you, so I'm ready 661 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 1: for you. Okay, Okay, I mean now, Cincinnati thirty two 662 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 1: first dons, Pittsburgh at thirteen. Who have I just said 663 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 1: that to you? No more? Who won the game? You're 664 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 1: saying Cincinnati? How about this? Pittsburgh was four for fifty 665 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 1: and third done. Cincinnati was fifty percent. I mean the 666 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:18,279 Speaker 1: numbers in attic. How about thirty forty three minutes? Cincinnati 667 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,799 Speaker 1: had the ball for forty three minutes in that game. 668 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,439 Speaker 1: If I just said that to you until it didn't 669 00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 1: tell you anything else, I'd say, who won the game? 670 00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:32,439 Speaker 1: You said Cincinnati? Five turnovers the non game over. That's 671 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 1: but But the one thing that I really thought, with 672 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 1: Ben being gone, the focus was going to be, whether 673 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: it was mister Bisky or Kenny Pickett or whoever, that 674 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 1: the focus was going to be the old Steelers run 675 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 1: the football, play defense, big pass plays, and nig Nigi Harris, 676 00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 1: their star running back. I thought he was the best 677 00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,800 Speaker 1: back in the draft when he came out from Alabama. 678 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 1: He averages about three yards of carry. That's not going 679 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 1: to get it against the Bengals. So I don't see all. 680 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 1: I don't see a whole lot different than than really 681 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 1: when it was with Ben there. I mean, I'm fortunately 682 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:12,759 Speaker 1: I hate saying that because you know, I mean, I 683 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 1: love those guys, and and and I don't know what 684 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,120 Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett would do any different. I mean, I don't 685 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:18,919 Speaker 1: think they're gonna be all of a sudden if Kenny 686 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 1: Pickett's in there, They're all of a sudden gonna get 687 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,640 Speaker 1: you know, a lot of courage to put in uh, 688 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,239 Speaker 1: you know, forty passes or fifty passes in the game. 689 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 1: That ain't gonna happen. No, I mean, the way I 690 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 1: look at it, if if you have to go to 691 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:36,239 Speaker 1: overtime to win, having a five nothing turnover advantage, I'm 692 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:41,440 Speaker 1: gonna play another quarterback, right Well, yeah, I hear you, 693 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 1: I hear you, and and and they're saying that. I mean, 694 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,800 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a tough deal in Pittsburgh because Kenny 695 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,800 Speaker 1: Picketts sitting right there. He's to he wrote in that city. 696 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,640 Speaker 1: You know, God forbid he gets in there and takes 697 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 1: him to the playoffs and wins a Super Bowl. God, 698 00:39:55,080 --> 00:40:03,880 Speaker 1: he'll be mayor. I think can happen. So you do 699 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 1: a lot of Big Ten stuff. Scott Frost got fired, 700 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:12,319 Speaker 1: and you know, Dave, once Nebraska moved to the Big Ten, 701 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,480 Speaker 1: they no longer really recruit Texas well. And they're the 702 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,239 Speaker 1: area of the country they're in. There's not a lot 703 00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:23,720 Speaker 1: of high school football players, and there are certain jobs. 704 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 1: I don't think Nebraska is ever going to be Nebraska. 705 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 1: I think you can try to saw if Scott Frost 706 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:36,759 Speaker 1: bombs you know, Dave, you know the Big Ten. If 707 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 1: you look at their state, they're recruiting geographic map, Nebraska 708 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:47,440 Speaker 1: can't get good enough players like Scott Frost. When I 709 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,200 Speaker 1: watched them the highlights of Georgia Southern, I'm not sure. 710 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 1: I'm not so sure they're that much more athletic than 711 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,680 Speaker 1: Georgia Southern, And I'm like, I don't know. I think 712 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 1: they were offended at Nebraska that Texas was getting so 713 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 1: much much love from the media and the conference, and 714 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,440 Speaker 1: they felt they had more national titles, and so they 715 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,640 Speaker 1: basically said to the Big twelve, Hey, forget you guys, 716 00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,160 Speaker 1: screw you guys. We're going to go and get more 717 00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,719 Speaker 1: money from the Big ten and be loved by the 718 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:17,400 Speaker 1: Big ten. Well, now the Big ten's added USC and UCLA, 719 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,640 Speaker 1: so nobody's going to pay attention to Nebraska. They're a 720 00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,879 Speaker 1: bottom tier team. I think they're in no man's land. 721 00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,880 Speaker 1: I think they don't want to give up the revenue 722 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:28,960 Speaker 1: they make from the Big ten TV deal. They don't 723 00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,359 Speaker 1: want to give that up. But if they stay there, 724 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,879 Speaker 1: they can't recruit Texas. I think they're trapped. I think 725 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,080 Speaker 1: this is what is what Nebraska is. They're a six 726 00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 1: to a seven win program. Am I wrong? I think 727 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,280 Speaker 1: you are. I mean, I think they're better than that column, 728 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:48,680 Speaker 1: I really do. Now in the Ohio state or Michigan 729 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,920 Speaker 1: or Penn State. I don't believe so, but they should, 730 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:57,359 Speaker 1: in my opinion, be able to recruit you know, I mean, 731 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,960 Speaker 1: you're talking about, you know, the best Iowa. You gotta 732 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,240 Speaker 1: be able to compete with Iowa and Wisconsin and Purdue 733 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,719 Speaker 1: and Northwestern and the teams in the West Minnesota. I 734 00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:11,160 Speaker 1: truly believe that when you look at God, I remember 735 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:13,920 Speaker 1: not to go back in history. But we were at 736 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,440 Speaker 1: Oklahoma State and it was called the Big Eighth then 737 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,920 Speaker 1: for our listeners in Nebraska and Oklahoma. And I remember 738 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 1: going out there in the first trip to Lincoln. I 739 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 1: was Jimmy had just made me defensive coordinator. I think 740 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 1: I was twenty seven years old, and we went out there, 741 00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,920 Speaker 1: and I was out with some alumni the night before. 742 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,760 Speaker 1: A group of guys were sitting around a table having 743 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,800 Speaker 1: some drinks and one of the alumni says, coach, we 744 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:42,600 Speaker 1: are twenty nine point underdogs tomorrow. Is can we hold 745 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:46,399 Speaker 1: them under twenty nine points? I said, you can bet 746 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,759 Speaker 1: what you got in your pocket on that. Coach. They 747 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,839 Speaker 1: had twenty eight points in the first half. We never 748 00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,840 Speaker 1: still we never. I think it was fifty pot my point, plaus. 749 00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,800 Speaker 1: I remember the days with Mike Rogier when these guys 750 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,480 Speaker 1: beat when they were one, two, three, four, five in 751 00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,600 Speaker 1: the country. Okay, not just in the Big eight or 752 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,840 Speaker 1: the Big twelve, not what I'm talking about it nationally. 753 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:13,400 Speaker 1: They were that good, that good. And we played him 754 00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,320 Speaker 1: at the last game we ever coach at the University 755 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,799 Speaker 1: of Miami. We were number three and they I think 756 00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:19,760 Speaker 1: they were number five. We played him in the original 757 00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:23,800 Speaker 1: turner Guil and company. I mean great players, great players, 758 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:29,600 Speaker 1: Tom Osborne and so my point is that Scott Frost, 759 00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:34,239 Speaker 1: if you look at their statistics week after week they 760 00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,200 Speaker 1: were throwing them, they always ended up in the middle 761 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:41,160 Speaker 1: of the Big Ten statistically offensive defense. But when you 762 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:46,880 Speaker 1: looked at the categories that lose games for you, penalties, turnovers, 763 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,480 Speaker 1: you know, a guy catching a ball and stepping out 764 00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:54,000 Speaker 1: of bonds on the five, getting a punt law, you know, 765 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,200 Speaker 1: going for the on side kick against Northwestern when you're 766 00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:00,600 Speaker 1: up by eleven, if you got the momentum up like that, 767 00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 1: to me is that's what That's what costs Nebraska and 768 00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:09,440 Speaker 1: Scott Frost his job. You know, they signed sixteen portal 769 00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,960 Speaker 1: players this year, more than the every number in the 770 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,760 Speaker 1: Big Ten was seven, and I think that's probably pretty 771 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:20,839 Speaker 1: close to the national average, right, and Nebraska signed sixteen 772 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:24,400 Speaker 1: portal players Alabama, Auburn, I mean they got him from 773 00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,560 Speaker 1: all over the country and uh, you know, so I 774 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,480 Speaker 1: really thought that this would be would make a difference 775 00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:34,400 Speaker 1: this year. They hired Mark Mark Whipple, the offensive coordinator. 776 00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,520 Speaker 1: You know who was it Pitt who was an NFL 777 00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:40,440 Speaker 1: guy on the Stewers coach Ben Roethlisberger, coach Kenny Pickett. 778 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:45,040 Speaker 1: It just hasn't happened. So I get it here, Scott Frost. 779 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,800 Speaker 1: This is tough to say, but he's probably relieved a 780 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:51,880 Speaker 1: little bit right now. He's got to be. He's a winner, 781 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,000 Speaker 1: he's a great guy. It didn't work out for all 782 00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:58,919 Speaker 1: those reasons. He's probably mentally saying, you know what, let's 783 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,400 Speaker 1: move on. Let me let me go coach to quarterbacks 784 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,680 Speaker 1: in the NFL somewhere, or do something and and move on. 785 00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:08,800 Speaker 1: So it's a tough situation for him and the school. 786 00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:11,560 Speaker 1: So we'll we'll see where it goes in the future. Yeah, 787 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:15,000 Speaker 1: he has a great reputation at Orion, at Central for 788 00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,239 Speaker 1: people loved him. I thought he was a home run. 789 00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,520 Speaker 1: They didn't win a game at Central Florida. I think 790 00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,040 Speaker 1: they were over and he took over and then took 791 00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:25,040 Speaker 1: him to their championship. I'm defeated, but he was undefeated 792 00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,800 Speaker 1: at Central Florida when they took the job, when he 793 00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:34,000 Speaker 1: took the job in Nebraska, I'm defeated thirteen and l yep, yep. 794 00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,759 Speaker 1: So I mean it's tough.
