1 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: What is going on everybody? Uh, the way I'm gonna 2 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: attack this Monday night a football game, John Middlecoff three 3 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 1: and Out podcast back again, appreciate everyone listening. Uh, you 4 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: know this game changed dramatically in the last ten minutes 5 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: with officiating calls, and uh, I got some takes. And 6 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: I have defended the officials this year, especially with bang 7 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: bang calls. You know, I think we can be including 8 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 1: myself a little hard, but tonight was disgusting. It truly was. 9 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: As an unbiased guy, no money on the game, no nothing, 10 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: was just enjoying a high level watching Matt Stafford Rogers 11 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: throw dimes, big tackles, big hits, pretty well, coach game. 12 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: The officials, Roger Goodell, the league should be ashamed of themselves. 13 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: The back judge that made those multiple calls on tree 14 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: flowers should be fired like this is this is We're 15 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 1: talking about a fifteen billion dollar industry. We're talking about 16 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: games that gets fifteen to twenty million dollar million people 17 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: to watch. That. I am. I'm offended for the Lions. 18 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: That that was. I'm at a loss for words, I 19 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: really am. And I talked for a living I got 20 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 1: and I got a lot of thoughts Today we're gonna 21 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: dive into Kyle versus McVeigh, the Big West coach, Niners, 22 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: Rams matchup the Cowboys and the Birds. We got a 23 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: big game coming up between two three and three teams. Uh, 24 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: Seattle just kind of flex their culture muscles on the 25 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns, who I've gotta dive in. I went hard 26 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: on Freddie Kitchens last week. I'm an equal opportunitist. I 27 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: got some takes on Baker, who was just beyond terrible. 28 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: He he was awful. You're the number one pick, like bro, 29 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: play better. If you're gonna talk so much, you're gonna 30 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: be you gotta play better. He he was terrible against Seattle. 31 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: And then I'll just kind of go around the leagues 32 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: things that jumped out to me from Sunday and maybe 33 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: even a little Saturday. College football is getting kind of interesting. 34 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: How about my god Joe Burrow, he's bawling l s 35 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: U Tigers look good. And of course Middlecoff mail Bag 36 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: and every podcast at John Middlecoff is my Instagram, and 37 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: you slide up into those d m s and I 38 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 1: answer your questions here on the show, same as my 39 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: Twitter handle follow away shoot me d ms away easiest 40 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: way to get a hold of me. But let's start 41 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: with the Monday night football game. I've gone into the 42 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: Monday night broadcast. I now mute tonight. I muted and 43 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: I listened to YouTube and Chris Stableton and just music 44 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: and some podcasts, and I turned it on a little 45 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: bit towards the end. But it's just it's a it's 46 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: a rough listen. But that's that's not defining the game. 47 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: I actually thought Booger did a good job at the 48 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: end when it came to the penalties. Being a ref 49 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: is a hard job, you know, it's it's a difficult job. 50 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: I get it. You are determining games where if you 51 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: put on the money hierarchy, you know, you got head 52 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,119 Speaker 1: coaches making between five and ten million dollars, You've got 53 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: players making between five grand and thirty million, and you're 54 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: you know how much the referee is making three four grand? 55 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: What It wasn't their full time job until a couple 56 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: of years ago. I am not disputing how hard the 57 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: job is. You have guys wig two fifty pounds, two 58 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: pounds that run four or five speeds that are colliding 59 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: into each other like two hummers going twenty five it 60 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: is a it's tough. I say the same thing for 61 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: NBA referees. It's hard. So I give you the benefit 62 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,679 Speaker 1: of the doubt on bang bang plays. Why I don't 63 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: mind replay because with fumble, with some of these calls, 64 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: they're hard to make. And I've also supported past interference 65 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: penalty because the league specifically told everyone we're gonna allow 66 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: p I to be reviewed, but we're not doing bang 67 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: bang plays. They told every single person. Then they said, 68 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: we're going for the Rams Saints situation. Egregious errors like 69 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: when a dude gets blown up a second before the 70 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: ball gets there, not hand fighting, because at the end 71 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: of the day, it is football, and I'm pro defense. 72 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: I'm pro the defensive player being able to kind of 73 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: mess with the wide receiver a little bit. It shouldn't 74 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: just be open season for the guy to run unimpeded 75 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: everywhere he wants. The defensive receiver bullshit, he's not defenseless. 76 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: He knows they're defenders standing right there. This is the NFL, 77 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: this isn't peewee football. So I defend the referees, but 78 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: tonight might have been one of the most egregious errors 79 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: we've ever seen. Happened twice, and it cost the Lions 80 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: the game. Trey Flowers, I thought the best thing that 81 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: Bookers ever said, or maybe it was test Store. I 82 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: did turn it up towards the intern off the podcast, 83 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: so I can't claim that I didn't listen to any 84 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: of it. Trey Flowers, who learned how to play the 85 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: position in the National Football League by the greatest coach 86 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: to to ever grace the sidelines, college, pro or high school. 87 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, had never in his career been called for 88 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: hands of the faith. Why because he's been topped by 89 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: the best, he knows better, and he's just a good player. 90 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: For them to call that penalty the first time when 91 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: it would have knocked the Packers with nine minutes left, 92 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 1: forced them to punt. The lines were up twenty two 93 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: to thirteen. I don't want to say the game was 94 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: over there, but the Packers would have been in trouble. 95 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 1: So to call that play when the replay showed he 96 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: didn't even get near the face mask is a joke. 97 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: When you were standing right there. You have to get 98 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: it right on a play that's relatively slow. It's not 99 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: a bank bank tackle. This isn't a fumble you're watching 100 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: the guy work his hands on the shoulder pad, you're 101 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: standing right there. You can't get it wrong. But then 102 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: for it to happen a second time, when it essentially, 103 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: I mean it did lead for the game to be 104 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: iced is a joke. And I'm not one to call 105 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: for anyone's job or whatever I mean. Granted I will, 106 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: but I don't know who the individual was, the back judge. 107 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: He should be relieved of his duties today. He should 108 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: be done fired because he's simply incompetent. He's simply incompetent. 109 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: If it if that had been a player that had 110 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 1: been consistently, you know, flagged for that penalty, it was 111 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 1: something that he does a lot, I would somewhat understand. 112 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,919 Speaker 1: But this is a player who has never had it 113 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: happened to him in his life ever, not once. I 114 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: can't believe what I just witnessed. What a joke that is. 115 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: I feel devastated in a weird way. I don't care 116 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: about either of these teams. Feel devastated for the Lions. 117 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 1: They got absolutely screwed on Monday night football. It's one thing, 118 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: and it shouldn't be any different, but it is. If 119 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: this has been a Sunday morning game in Green Bay. 120 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: You know in the Green Bay fans and Lions fans 121 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: are watching, but everyone's watching their team. It's another thing 122 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: for that to happen on national television. Roger his his 123 00:06:54,880 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: minions in Park Avenue should be you know, Embarres, just 124 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: like we've had a lot of guys this year been 125 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: on top of these officials because there's so much money 126 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: in the line, so much gambling on the line, so 127 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: much jobs on the line. And I get Roger doesn't 128 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: care as long as the ratings go up and people 129 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: talk about it. But as someone that once upon a 130 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: time in my life I was a diehard Sacramento Kings 131 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: fan and they lost in Western Conference Finals to the Lakers, 132 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: and they had a play in Game five or the 133 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: ball Vody, tip the ball out, Robert, or hit the shot, 134 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: you tip your hat. But then there were some moments 135 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: in Game six and definitely Game seven where the amount 136 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: of fouls were called by a guy that was proven 137 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: on the take from the mob. So I hate it 138 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: when people like you can't throw around that stuff. You 139 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: can't just throw something's rigged. Well, we have a history 140 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: in professional sports in recent memory of these referees being 141 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: involved with the mob. I don't know if the mob exists. 142 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: I love mob movies, but when stuff like that happens, 143 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: you have to think this guy is either blind, so 144 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: he should get his eyes test. What does he have 145 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: money in the game? And if you think about it, 146 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: with how easy gambling is. I'm in bed with a 147 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: gambling company. If you follow me on Twitter, Periscope, my 148 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: other podcast, They've been long partners, very good money. We 149 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: have a lucrative partnership. There are a lot of people 150 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: involved in gambling now more than ever. So is this 151 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: guy in the bed with gambling mom? I don't know, 152 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: but I I met a loss after watching that. I 153 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: really am I was. I was planning on opening this 154 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: podcast talking about how much I root for Matt Stafford. 155 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: If if he would have ever been drafted by a 156 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: guy like Andy Reider Sean Payton, how great his career 157 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: could have turned out. Think of what a joke the 158 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: Lions are with Martha Ford and their two best players 159 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 1: both retired at thirty. Basically just said, you guys, keep 160 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: the money. I'm out of here. You guys are I 161 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,719 Speaker 1: can't take this anymore. I was gonna talk about the Packers, 162 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 1: just how much moxie they have. I mean, Rogers was 163 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 1: throwing babies and dimes all games. Guys. His guy's balls 164 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: are bouncing off face mass and belle leads and hands. 165 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: Rogers was fantastic. I was gonna talk about the football game, 166 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: but instead I'm talking about the referees and the blown 167 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: officiating and the joke of those last two penalties, which 168 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: I have not watched, you know, every game of the 169 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: NFL season, I've watched a good amount of him. I 170 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: would say I've watched the NFL games this season now 171 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: a large majority are on I watch on condensed version, 172 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: so I'm not It's different when you just watch the 173 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: game over the three hour period, right, you take in 174 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: more and you see more stuff. So I can't pretend 175 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: to have seen every call or whatever. But I would 176 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: put those couple of calls that we witness tonight the 177 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:41,839 Speaker 1: hands of the face. It was actually the same call, 178 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: just happened twice to the same player who comes from 179 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: the Patriots, who plays it for Patricia, who was a 180 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: high level guy who again has never been called for 181 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: that penalty in his career. And then when you watch 182 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: the three play and I get slow most different than live. 183 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: It was clear he wasn't even closely guy's face masks 184 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 1: on the shoulder pad, and it costs the lines of 185 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: the game's It's not acceptable, and I think it brings 186 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,839 Speaker 1: into question when people throw out these conspiracy theories. And 187 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I got a little conspiracy theory, just 188 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: not necessarily on this, but just in general, I lean 189 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: that way. Sometimes I don't blame anyone for thinking it 190 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: goes this guy on the take, it's gonna have money 191 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: on the game, because you can say that without it like, yeah, 192 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: I don't think you're joking. I think you might be 193 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: dead serious and you might be onto something. That was 194 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: Monday Night football. The Lions, who clearly aren't bad, Like 195 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: they win this game, we start talking Lions playoffs. That's 196 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 1: a crippling loss. Now instead of being three one and one, 197 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: there too, two and one. That's and they lose the 198 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 1: Packers in Lambeau instead of having a win, and like, 199 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: that's that's a big deal. Man, That's that's gutting, that's embarrassing. 200 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: That's this has to be fixed. And you know my solution, 201 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: because it's easy to criticize, my solution is you start 202 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: finding referees now, Obviously, if a player is making five 203 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: million and you find them twenty grand, it's different. The 204 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: referee is making fifty grand a game, whatever the number is, 205 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: you find him a small percentage and it basically just 206 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,599 Speaker 1: says this is not acceptable. We will hold you to 207 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: account or fire guys or you know, whether it's like 208 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: you know in uh in EPL soccer where they boot 209 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: you out of the league, relegate you like everyone wants 210 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: like to happen to the Redskins. Uh, that's what you did. Referees, 211 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: you go bet, you go down to college or high school. 212 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: You're not welcome to the big leagues anymore. Because we 213 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: hold ourselves to a higher standard. That's what nixt Saban does, 214 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: That's what Bill Belichick does, That's what the league does 215 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: when it comes to their money. Why can't we do 216 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: that with the referees. At least people will feel better. 217 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: If I'm a Lions fan today, if I was a 218 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: fifteen year old Lions fan. If I was fifteen, I 219 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: probably wouldn't be in tears. I would be dropping f 220 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 1: bombs and throwing things at the wall. If I was 221 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 1: like an eight year old Lions fan, I'd be in 222 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: tears like that's a joe. That's insane. It's one thing 223 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: to lose. Aaron Rodgers beat you, You tip your hat, right, 224 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: you just it's one of the greatest quarterbacks ever. He 225 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: beats us. I'll tip my hat to him. We lost 226 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: in Lamboat. Shit happens, but to was like that, and 227 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 1: maybe they would have lost anyway, but at least give 228 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,199 Speaker 1: me a chance. I I think the league office. I 229 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: think they gotta fire the guy. I really do. And 230 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: maybe that sounds extreme. Maybe maybe that's sent maybe it's 231 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: heat at the moment, but that's that's not okay. Okay, 232 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: Let's dive into the big game out West, the Niners 233 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: in the ramps, and I think we've had somewhat of 234 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: a changing of the guard. And I want to dive 235 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: into Kyle and McVeigh when McVeigh was hired. Now, there 236 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: are many people that listen to this podcast. Hell, we 237 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: did a million listens last month. Thank you appreciate everyone listening. 238 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: That you have no clue my takes two years ago. 239 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: You've been started listening over the last you know, calendar year. 240 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,719 Speaker 1: A lot of you are relatively new, maybe the last 241 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: six months when McVeigh happened if you listen to the 242 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: other podcast or follow me on Twitter or whatever. I 243 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: thought it was crazy. I'm a millennial, I'm like a 244 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: year older than him, but I just I had seen 245 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: the way NFL players operate, and I just like, God, 246 00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot to ask a thirty one 247 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: year old guy to do. It. Turns out McVeigh is 248 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: a really high level guy, and he's very, very impressive, 249 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: and he's earned the praise of the last couple of years. 250 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: But when you look at the job he inherited, and 251 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to diminish what he's done because he's 252 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: won the division twice, he made it last year to 253 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: the super Bowl, and he's earned the credit. Whether he's 254 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 1: probably not gonna make the playoffs this year, but I'm 255 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: not gonna look at him that much differently. But he 256 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: did inherit a pretty talented team, right. Jared Goff had 257 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: just been the number one pick, They had Aaron Donald, 258 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,199 Speaker 1: they had good players on the roster. Ted Gurley was 259 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: already there. You know, sometimes you inherit a team this 260 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: quote unquote underachieving that has talent. It happened to Chip 261 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: Kelly years ago when he showed up in Philly Falls 262 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: Vic DeShawn Lushawn, Jerry Macklin, Jason Peters, Jason Kelsey. There 263 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: a ton of players on the roster. It had happened 264 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: to hardball with the Niners, Vernon, Davis Navarro, Bowman, Patrick Willis, 265 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: Joe Staley, Frank Gore, Michael Crabtreat, Alex Smith. There were 266 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: a lot of good players on the right. Now Harbor 267 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: had proven he could go to a a terrible roster. 268 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: I e. Stanford and resurrected, so it's a little different 269 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: chip his entire career the Oregans, the Oregon Ducks. When 270 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: he took over that program, they were already pretty damn 271 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: good every year in the top twenty five. He took 272 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,359 Speaker 1: him to the next level. When he got the Philly 273 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: he started winning again. But then eventually he got exposed 274 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: because you have to have different pitches. You can't only 275 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: throw fastballs. And I covered the Niners very very closely. 276 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: I I they are the cash cow in my business 277 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: for my other podcast there. They're the biggest brand by 278 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: far in California. From a football standpoint, and watching Kyle 279 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: the last couple of years, it was clear he could 280 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: really call plays. He was just a really really dynamic 281 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: play caller. Him and McVeigh are both unique because they 282 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: are younger coaches, but they love running the ball. They 283 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: would run it every time all game if it works. 284 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: Now the different and says, Kyle consistently does things that 285 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: you go wow. He does like throwback pass, his play action, 286 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: boot and around. He does a lot of just window 287 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: dressing and sometimes he does these trick plays where Sean 288 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: McVeigh is a little more vanilla. Now it's worked these 289 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: last couple of years being quote unquote somewhat vanilla because 290 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: he's had really good players. Now Todd Gurley's gone their 291 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: offensive lines to shelve himself. And I just watched Robert Sala, 292 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: who is now like getting considered to be a head 293 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: coach next year, the bald guy who was going nuts 294 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: on the sideline, who the last couple of years around 295 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: where I live, people are talking to he lose his job. 296 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: Turns out coaches are usually better when they have better players. 297 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: But took McVeigh and bent him over the table and 298 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: made him say uncle beside the opening drive, which they 299 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: ran at every single play right down the Niners throats 300 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: and Robert Sala Who spoke to the media after the game, 301 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: which is unheard of in the NFL. Kyle Who and 302 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: I put Sean there too, are very secure for being 303 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: young guys. Maybe it's because they've been famous now, especially 304 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: out for a while super rich. He let Robert Sala 305 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: go to the podium, and Robert Sali said that after 306 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: the first drive, when the Niners got absolutely gashed, every 307 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: single play was a run boom boom, boom, boom boom, touchdown. 308 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: Kyle's like, don't worry, just make your adjustments were good. 309 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: He adjusted, and they kicked the living crap out of 310 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: the ramps. They bent him over and it was a 311 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: ultimate behind the woodshed game. And I was so shocked 312 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: that Sean McVeigh didn't have any other pitches. Like you 313 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: watch Oraldus Chapman. He throws a hundred miles an hour, 314 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: so his fastball is elite. If he doesn't get any 315 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: better than that. He also has other pitches, though he 316 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: doesn't throw his fastball every single pitch. It's the only 317 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: way you can operate it. And it's time for Sean 318 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: McVeigh to kind of come with another pitch. And actually, 319 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: and I say this all the time, having been you know, 320 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: I quote unquote failed earlier in my career. I was 321 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: fired from the NFL in my late twenties. Was like, 322 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: what else do I do? I can only scout players 323 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: any kind of what can else I gonna do? I 324 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: just had to adapt. Has kind of failed at other places. 325 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: They failed in Washington, then he got fired, Then he 326 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: failed kind of in Cleveland. And that first year in 327 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: Atlanta didn't go that well with Mattie Ice, so he's 328 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: had some ups and downs. And then his first two 329 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: years in San Francisco they didn't win many games. Last 330 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: year when they were supposed to win a lot more games, 331 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo Terris d a c L in the third 332 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,120 Speaker 1: game of the season. And I say it all the time. 333 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: I've watched basically every press conference and every word that's 334 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 1: come out of Kyle Shanahan's mouth publicly since he's been 335 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 1: the head coach of the forty Niners. He's been really 336 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: even keel, and he's handled himself very very well in 337 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: some very shitty circumstances. Now I put it on the 338 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: flip side, I've watched Sean McVeigh very closely, even in 339 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: his losses. I always think he handled himself very well 340 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: on the sideline. That's why I believe in Sean McVeigh. 341 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: But I tweeted something during the game that I would 342 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: imagine Kyle Shanahan this game meant a lot to him, 343 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: because there is no way on God's green Earth that 344 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan looks at Sean McVeigh and doesn't think he's 345 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: better than him. Now, he can't publicly say that, he 346 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: probably never would. Their buddies and the records are on 347 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh side. But I've been watching Kyle Shanahan very closely. 348 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: I've also watched Sean McVeigh, who's clearly probably a little 349 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: more culture you know, he's like a young millennial kind 350 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 1: of Tomlin. You know. That's that's how I kind of, 351 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 1: you know, I like him. I'm a big fan of 352 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh. I'd love to have him on this podcast. 353 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: But when it comes to the x's nose and scheming 354 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: things up, I think Kyle is on another level, And honestly, 355 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: I'm not sure it's that close. Now. If I would 356 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 1: have said this last year when the Niners were one 357 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,360 Speaker 1: in ten and the Rams are ten and one, you'd 358 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: be like middle coffee are an idiot. So that's why 359 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: I always think we love making concrete statements on coaches 360 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 1: and players, Like I can make a concrete statement on 361 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: an Andy Reid, on a Sean Payton, to Pete Carroll, 362 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: they have twenty thirty years of coaching. When you talk 363 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: about these younger coaches and having hell, I know one 364 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: Matt Naggie. He's coach one year and he made the playoffs. 365 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: But I think we'll have a once Matt Naggie has 366 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: been a head coach the league for ten years, Kyle 367 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: Shannon has been a head coach for ten years, or 368 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: Sean mcveisman head coach for ten years, we'll know who 369 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: they are and kind of where they stand in the landscape. 370 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: It's no different with players. Everyone's like middle cuff. Look 371 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: at Lamar Jackson. Three games in, you were way wrong. 372 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: Do you know what? It turns out? Lamar Jackson kicks 373 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: the crap out of bad teams and he gets throttled 374 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: by the good teams. That's so far, that's the information 375 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: we have right that that's now. If I don't overreact 376 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: to every game, just like I don't overreact with coaches 377 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: to every game, though, I think the longer you build 378 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 1: a resume, you can have concrete statements. And it's like 379 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: Kyle I said, coming into this season, I've been one 380 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: of the rare guys. Maybe not rare, but I'm like 381 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: cousin elite coach Coles and elite coach Coles and league coach. 382 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: But to to really establish where no one can argue 383 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,199 Speaker 1: the great thing about the NFL because we just we 384 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 1: just judge you on wins and losses, not how close 385 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: you come or how hard your team plays. Like the 386 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: price of admission is playing hard. I love it when 387 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: I read about a professional athlete, like when I see 388 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: Kirk herb Street talking about Joe Burrows work ethic and 389 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: at heart, I'm like, Okay, that's impressive, you know because 390 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 1: a lot of college guys you're still learning exactly what 391 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: it takes how to prepare, Like I I put sock 392 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: into that. But when you tell me about like a 393 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: five year pro, he gets to the facility really early, 394 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 1: he works hard in the weight room. Great. I mean, 395 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: what is the is the NFL paying five million dollars 396 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: for that? No, ship, he better or he'll be out 397 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 1: of the league. I don't I don't give extra credit 398 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 1: points for coaches and players when they work hard. Everyone 399 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 1: in America, the successful works hard. That's that's life, that's 400 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: that's the National Football League. But so like John mc all, 401 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: these guys work hard. They all spend an uh just 402 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: an incredible amount of time in the office, probably an 403 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: unhealthy amount. But some that spend time in that office 404 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: for you know, all day, every day during the season, 405 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 1: get more out of it. It's why I was critical 406 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: of John Gruden or the last you know, year and 407 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 1: a half, like, why do you get in the office 408 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: at four in the morning and you're not winning any 409 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: what's the point of it all? Now, eventually, if you 410 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: have a results, it's were it. Here's what I know. 411 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: When Kyle Shanahan shows up, his team is gonna have 412 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: wrinkles that you don't you can't prepare for. And that's 413 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: how I determined a good coach and I was defensive coordinator. 414 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 1: It's proven if you can give him really good players, 415 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: he can also do the same. Because that that defensive 416 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: performance yesterday against the Rams who have Cooper cup who 417 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: I I was shocked the Ironers could cover same with 418 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: Robert Woods and say with Gerald Evert the offensive line. 419 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: I mean They're just not good enough right now. For 420 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: the Rams. They replaced starters from last year with guys 421 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: they had drafted, and they're getting their ass kicked by 422 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: good players and Jared Goff. Listen, I haven't watched the 423 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: game back a second time. I thought, just off my 424 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: first time viewing television copy that I thought he was 425 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: gonna get some unfair criticism. Same with Baker Mayfield last year. 426 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,400 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to say they played well. They never 427 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: had a chance because the moment like it'd be like, 428 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: you know, you come up to take a breath from 429 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: the water and someone shoves your head back under water. 430 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: That's essentially what the Niners defensive line was doing to 431 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: the Rams front. Their best lineman, Whitworth Nick Bosa was 432 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 1: taken to pound town and shoving him back into Jared Goff, 433 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: their guards inside, We're getting their butts whooped by guys 434 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 1: that are quote unquote considered a bust like Solomon Thomas. 435 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: And are the forty Niners great on offense? No, they're not. 436 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: Like is Jimmy Garoppolo Garoppolo the superstar that I once 437 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 1: thought he would be Probably not. Is he a good player? Yeah? 438 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: And I think he has a lot of room to improve. 439 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: He's still you know, I don't think he has sixteen 440 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 1: career starts in the NFL yet. He's got a long 441 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: way to go. George Kittle superstar, Kyle Shanahan's superstar play color. 442 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,439 Speaker 1: Their wide receivers are still a little bit of a 443 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: question mark. They're missing their two tackles, they're missing Joe 444 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: Staley and Mike McGlinchey and a key part of their 445 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 1: running game. And Kyle uscheck we're not even there, and 446 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: then he need to skip a beat like that's that's 447 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: what coaching is. That's why Kyle Shanahan, you know, got 448 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 1: forty five million dollars as a first time head coach 449 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 1: two years ago, and he signed as your deal. And 450 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: it's starting to come to fruition. And McVeigh, I don't 451 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: think she's just gonna go away, but he's gonna have 452 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: to look at himself in the mirror and just do 453 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 1: some different ship. You know, you gotta throw some different 454 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: wrinkles unless you just want to be Chip Kelly. Now, 455 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: I don't think Sean mcveigh's Chip Kelly. He's too smart. 456 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,919 Speaker 1: He's been around too many good coaches like Chips just 457 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: continues to get embarrased because he hasn't changed in ten years. 458 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 1: I do think Sean will change, maybe not this year, 459 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: but he's gonna have to go in the lab a 460 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: little bit in the off season and adapt. And he 461 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: hasn't really had to because he's been winning. Where Kyle, 462 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 1: because he's lost at several different stops, he's been fired. Listen, 463 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: I as someone that's been fired, I wish i'd made 464 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: Tyl Shanahan money when I was fired. He just it 465 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 1: forces you to look in the mirror and try different things, 466 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: get out of your comfort zone. Sean McVeigh, since he's 467 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 1: been in l A up until yesterday, over the last 468 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, hasn't really had to force himself out 469 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: of his comfort zone. This is the first time they've 470 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 1: ever lost three straight games under him. They didn't lose 471 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,239 Speaker 1: two straight at games till the end of last year 472 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: and they were eleven and one, so it didn't really 473 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: impact that much. Now it ultimately cost him home field advantage, 474 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: but that's, you know, first class problems. I think finally 475 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh is gonna have to look in the mirror 476 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: and just go you know, Kyle Shanahan said a while back, 477 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 1: he watches one of the first thing he does after 478 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 1: he watches the Niner game back in the office on 479 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 1: Monday morning, he watches the Patriots. He clearly just watches 480 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,479 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff. And I'm not maybe Sean McVeigh 481 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: does that, maybe he doesn't, but he's gonna half to 482 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 1: dig deep because what he's doing right now has been 483 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: figured out. The batters at the plate have timed out 484 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: his pitching. So you gotta mix in and off speed 485 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: pitch something people don't see coming, and then you can 486 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 1: go back to your fastball because then they're off balance. 487 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: Right now that when the Niners played the Rams, not 488 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: only were they not off balance, they knew what everything 489 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 1: was coming. And now they finally have, you know, close 490 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: to equivalent of players and it was a coaching mismatch. Okay, 491 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: before I get into the Eagles and Cowboys, I just 492 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: want to hit on something I know some people won't care, 493 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 1: but just the NFL in l A and last night 494 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: Sunday night was a complete embarrassment. Where the Chargers play 495 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: is like where you know third tier bands play concerts. 496 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: It holds people. It was all Steeler fans. The Charges 497 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: right now are complete embarrassment. Now, the Rams, who had 498 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: a home game also Sunday afternoon that the coliseum was 499 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,360 Speaker 1: like Niner fans. Well, the reality is there are more 500 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: Niner fans in the state of California then probably every 501 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:38,400 Speaker 1: other team in California combined, be the be the Rams, Raiders, 502 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: and Chargers. It's pretty easy to figure out. For twenty 503 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: five years, they were one of the great dynasties we've 504 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 1: ever seen. When you're that great, you just created, you know, 505 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: several generations of fans. And then the other two, like 506 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: the Raiders move every you know, five years and the 507 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: Rams left. So it's it's pretty easy to figure out. 508 00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: But I also understood because a lot of people like, 509 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: why do the does the NFL need to get in 510 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 1: Los Angeles? I understood why the NFL need to get 511 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. This is a numbers game and there 512 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 1: are I don't know the exact number, fifteen million people 513 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,679 Speaker 1: in l A. Like it's it's enormous. You want to 514 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: have a footprint there. So I understood moving the Rams back. 515 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:22,159 Speaker 1: It made no sense, either letting the Raiders go or 516 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,120 Speaker 1: having the Chargers go. But at one million percent made 517 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 1: no sense. Putting the Chargers there. Dean Spanos is the 518 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: worst type of rich guy in my opinion. He just 519 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: hoards all his money and he just looks at it 520 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: into bank account. For those of you don't realize don't 521 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: aren't from California, Dean Spanos is like a third generation 522 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,719 Speaker 1: elite wealth. My dad was a farmer, used to do 523 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 1: business down the Central Valley and stocked in through Fresno 524 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: to Bakersfield, where the Spanos family did a lot of business. 525 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: They had a lot of real estate and they were 526 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 1: just a high level, highly thought of family. And Dean 527 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: Spanos sometimes the younger generation is not as stiff and 528 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 1: tight is their grandpa or dad, and clearly Dean is. 529 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 1: Because there's a reason the Chargers consistently are consistently inconsistent, 530 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: because Dean never hires a high level coach. His coach 531 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: is always on the lowest paid scale in the NFL. 532 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,880 Speaker 1: So for five years and now two and a half years, 533 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: he's had Anthony Land, who probably makes four million bucks. 534 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: Mike McCoy was probably making three million bucks. Like you 535 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: get what you paid for, like go pop, go pay 536 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 1: a big time coach, but he won. He would rather 537 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: hord that money in his savings account and leach on 538 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: with Stan Cronky, who's paying for the bad boy himself 539 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: because Stan has a bunch of money, acts like he 540 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: has a bunch of money and spends a bunch of money. 541 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: And there were reports like last month the Dean Spanos 542 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 1: wasn't picking up or holding his head into the bargain. 543 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: Of course he's not. He's just piggybacking on their success. 544 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: They're building at all the charges of no business being 545 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 1: in l A. The league should mandate they go back 546 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: to San Diego. Obviously Dean would never do that. I 547 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: don't know the legalities of it. It would be complicated. 548 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: But right now there are several owners just truly embarrassing 549 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: the league, but there is probably no owner from a 550 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: standpoint of you're ruining this market with all these people, clearly. 551 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: And the Steelers are unique because they're one of the 552 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,400 Speaker 1: probably just quantity wise, have more fans in this country 553 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: than maybe any team beside the Cowboys. So it's not 554 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: I've been to Steeler fans at Raider games. They're everywhere 555 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: same with a Packers, so it's not that abnormal. But 556 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,919 Speaker 1: it's always that way for the Chargers, whether they're playing 557 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, whether they're playing the Broncos, whether they're playing Seattle, 558 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 1: whether they're playing the Eagles, it doesn't matter. It's never 559 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 1: a home game. They do not belong in l A. 560 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: I went to cal Poly and cow Poly is in 561 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: the central part of California, central coast, and it was 562 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: probably fifty fifty people from southern California and people from 563 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 1: Northern California. And I'd say the biggest difference of us 564 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: in Northern California and the southern California people is there 565 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: is a surf beach culture down south that we don't 566 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: really have up north. Though we do have the craziest 567 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: surf spot in Maverick, but that's for crazy dudes, not 568 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: normal surfers. Surfing is not a huge part of our 569 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: culture up here. Our beach weather is cold, and we 570 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: have great white sharks literally everywhere down there. Their beach well, 571 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: the water is still relatively cold. It's more beachy. It's 572 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: just it's just a different, you know, different culture. Skateboards beachy, 573 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: it's just a little different that way. But I would 574 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: say this about San Diego, and I went to school 575 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: with a ton of them. They were diehard Charger fans 576 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 1: loyalists can be. Now, I understand San Diego while it's 577 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: just an elite city, I mean, it is just beautiful women, 578 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: beautiful weather, beautiful real estate. Hell I if you said Middlecoff, 579 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: you got a brand new house, will pay for it. 580 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: I'd move down to San Diego tomorrow. If I could 581 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: just keep doing this and live in San Diego. You know, 582 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: I had a sweet house on the water where it's awesome. 583 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: Anyone that's ever been to San Diego can attest plays badass, 584 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 1: but they were passionate about their football team. They cared 585 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: about the Chargers, but Dean didn't care about them. But 586 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: Dean also does don't really know what he's doing. His 587 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: resume speaks for itself. And right now that game Sunday night, 588 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: when it was a joke to even have Sunday night 589 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: football in that little Lass stadium too that this is 590 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 1: a debacle. I don't know what the league can do. 591 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: Uh maybe it's too late, but they should try to 592 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: force Dean back to San Diego. And I you know, 593 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: I'm never like force the guy to silverte That's unrealistic. 594 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 1: You know, the league, if they could have, would have 595 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: kicked Mark Davis out ten years ago. You know they 596 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 1: would love to do that. They would love to kick 597 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 1: Mike Brown out. You can't, you know, that's just not 598 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: the way there. There's these owners still have some cash. 599 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: They could fight it in court. You can't kick him out. 600 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 1: So you can't kick Dean out. But right now he's 601 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: he's a problem for the league because no one wants 602 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: him in Los Angeles. Literally, no, no, I don't think 603 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: that he has one fan. And San Diego, well, they're 604 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: mad at him that they would take him back. Okay, 605 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 1: let's talk about this big Sunday night game coming up 606 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 1: and the two teams that are gonna be involved. I 607 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: actually just read on Twitter that the game at Home 608 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: Depot Center Charger Steelers lowest rated game of the year. 609 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 1: Not shocked. I turned it off to watch the Yankee game. 610 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,479 Speaker 1: It was terrible, It was unwatchable. It had Dean Spano's 611 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: written all over it. But this game Sunday Night will 612 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,959 Speaker 1: not the Cowboys Eagles will be the highest rated game 613 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: probably so far in the season. They both had the 614 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 1: same record. They're both three and three. Now. I thought 615 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 1: the Cowboys they might pick to win. The NFC. Eagles 616 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 1: thought they were a playoff team right now. Both teams 617 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: are kind of reeling. But I think when you look 618 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 1: at the two teams, they are completely the opposite. Because 619 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: when you have something to fix within a business, like 620 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: one thing here, one thing there, it's not really the 621 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: end of the world. You just know what the problem is. 622 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: You know, depending on what your industry is, you might 623 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: be able to do it right, then you might have 624 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: to wait till the end of the year. Whatever. There's 625 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: just there's only so much Howie Roseman can do. He 626 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: has a cornerback problem. They've had injuries. They had a 627 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: draft pick that they took a couple of years ago 628 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: in the second round, Sydney Jones, who's just not any good. 629 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: They their backup corner matics got killed the other day. 630 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: He's been out for a couple of weeks, or I 631 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: guess he was out last week. And they just have 632 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: a corner problem. Like it's pretty clear. You just watch 633 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 1: the Eagles and you go, they're a really good team. 634 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: They have a corner problem. They can't cover anyone. Well, 635 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: there's only maybe you could trade for Chris Harris. You 636 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: can't be totally reckless and just trade like multiple first 637 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 1: rounders for Jalen. It also takes two to tango, Like 638 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: you need the Jaguars to be like, we'll give you 639 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey, and every all reports indicate that they won't. 640 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 1: So when I look at the Eagles, I see a 641 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: three and three team. But it's kind of understandable. You go, well, 642 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 1: Doug's pretty well established, one of the best coaches in 643 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: the league. Carson Wentz pretty well established one of the 644 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 1: more talented younger quarterbacks in the league. I'm not the 645 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: biggest Jim Schwartz guy, but we've seen Jim's resume the 646 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 1: last couple of years. He's got a high level defensive coordinator. 647 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: So the coaching staffs good a lot of the players 648 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: they have on their team. They just have a massive 649 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: hole and there's not that much you can do in 650 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: the middle of October. So whether they win or lose 651 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 1: this Sunday, whether this season kind of unravels because of corners, 652 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: you at least can put your finger on exactly what 653 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: it is. So if I was gonna have a down year, 654 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 1: I want to put my finger on exactly what it is, 655 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 1: especially when it's just a position group and it sucks. 656 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that it wouldn't be terrible to miss 657 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 1: the playoffs or you know, not when the division after 658 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: Dallas beach it. But at least you would understand, you 659 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 1: would know what your problem is, and then your team's equipped. 660 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 1: You've drafted some guys that should come up, you know, 661 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: take over for Jason Peters. You gotta left tackle. You 662 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 1: got this young running back, it looks like he's coming on. 663 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: You've got some young defensive line and that look okay, 664 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 1: like you've got some things to build on. Again, I'm 665 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 1: not trying to justify potentially if they lose and don't 666 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,479 Speaker 1: make the playoffs, though this Sunday won't necessarily determine that, 667 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 1: but at least we know exactly what the problem is. 668 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: To me, the Cowboys problem is a much bigger issue. 669 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 1: It's the coach. If you have a coach who is 670 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: ultimately the detriment of your team like that is a 671 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: major issue. It's why Jerry Jones people, I can't believe 672 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones is get rid of this guy. Can't believe 673 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones will get rid of this guy. Jerry Jones 674 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 1: seventy seven years old. He loses more sleep on thinking 675 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,399 Speaker 1: about going on a coaching search do you understand when 676 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,400 Speaker 1: you go on a coaching searching fire a coach, you 677 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: bring an entire new staff that has completely different visions 678 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 1: of players on your roster. It is a big deal 679 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: and it takes a lot of time to change. Like 680 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 1: even look at the Eagles when they got rid of 681 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: Chip Kelly, they had to go to Doug Peterson. They 682 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:24,400 Speaker 1: kind of took a step back, and they took a 683 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 1: couple of steps forward. But that step back is what 684 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 1: Jerry is trying to avoid. Now it's kind of looking 685 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 1: more clear like it's unavoidable. Because now even if the Cowboys, 686 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 1: let's say, beat the Eagles this Sunday and go on 687 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 1: to have one more win than them and win the 688 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 1: division at ten and six, they look like a one 689 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 1: and done team. Like they look like they're not playing 690 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:48,880 Speaker 1: that hard for Jason Garrett. Tony Romo said on the broadcast, like, listen, 691 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 1: I'm not the biggest Kirk Cousins guy, but I took 692 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 1: the Eagles plus three on the Friday podcast to put 693 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,839 Speaker 1: a little money on them this weekend. But you go, well, 694 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,399 Speaker 1: if Kirk Cousins is good, they had two elite wide 695 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 1: receivers and he lit them up because he was hitting 696 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 1: the deep ball like it was when you watch the game, 697 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 1: was like they're just doing one thing, throwing bombs, and 698 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,800 Speaker 1: there's nothing the Eagles can do because their quarterbacks stink. 699 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 1: I'm watching the Cowboys the Jets, who are an embarrassment 700 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,280 Speaker 1: because at least we would say, well when Kirk Cousins 701 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,479 Speaker 1: plays well. The Vikings are one of the best teams 702 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 1: in the league. They got two elite wide receivers, they 703 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,319 Speaker 1: got a good tight end, they got a star running back, 704 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 1: they got an elite defensive head coach, they got good 705 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 1: defensive personnel. Like it's justifiable you go on the road 706 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,879 Speaker 1: to the Jets with a quarterback who had been out 707 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: for a month with Mono. Now we've argued on this 708 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 1: show whether he got it from kissing Sharon Kleenex's regardless, 709 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,279 Speaker 1: he's been out. He comes back and he looks like 710 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,400 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers in his prime. If you have not watched 711 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 1: that game, just google the highlights of Sam Donald. He 712 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 1: looked freaking fantastic. He looked incredible. He shouldn't look that 713 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: good because they're they're not rolling out, you know, Wayne 714 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,760 Speaker 1: Krebett a walking through that door. I like Robbie Anderson, 715 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 1: but he have been m I A and he looks 716 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,360 Speaker 1: like Randy Boss. They kicked the living crap out of 717 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, ran circles around the Cowboys, showed up to 718 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: New York lifeless dead. It was a joke and the 719 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,839 Speaker 1: one meme or Jeff or whatever coming off where Jason 720 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 1: Garrett trying to high five people and people just walk 721 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 1: right by him. And then Tony Romo mentions on the 722 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 1: broadcast that this offense is starting to look like Jason 723 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 1: Garrett's influence. They're running the ball all the time and 724 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 1: Zeke looks good. But you know who doesn't look good, Dak. 725 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,360 Speaker 1: He just looks like man. He looks like man. Because 726 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,279 Speaker 1: I'm watching. If you just brought a guy from the 727 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:35,279 Speaker 1: moon and said what quarterback is the max quarterback in 728 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,960 Speaker 1: that game, the man from the moon by halftime would 729 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 1: have been like, uh, the red headed dude in in 730 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 1: white and green do the Jets quarterback is the guy 731 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,320 Speaker 1: I'd want? Of course, because now, Dak, and this shows 732 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 1: you how fast things change. You know, three weeks into 733 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,400 Speaker 1: the season, we're like, oh, dex price went way up, 734 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 1: now has gone way down. And maybe I just know 735 00:36:55,360 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 1: this under no circumstances, and I repeat, no circumstances would 736 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 1: I give Dac over a hundred million dollars. I said 737 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:05,239 Speaker 1: the same thing about Jared Goff. None. I wouldn't have 738 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,359 Speaker 1: done it. I understand why you have to do it, 739 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 1: I guess, but I would not do it. I get 740 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 1: why you give Carson Wentz that much money because the 741 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 1: ceilings as high as the sky. I understand it. I 742 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 1: do get that. I get why it macks out uh 743 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,320 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis or the Greek freak before they prove anything, 744 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 1: because they're ceiling like, it's pretty clear Jared Goff and 745 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,719 Speaker 1: definitely Dak their ceiling is not that high. Now, that 746 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,239 Speaker 1: doesn't mean Carson Wentz might never win a damn thing, 747 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 1: but it was understandable when they gave him all that 748 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:39,160 Speaker 1: money because again, his ceiling high as the sky. Those 749 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,960 Speaker 1: guys ceiling is high as like maybe a tall building. 750 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 1: And Dak, who I've always rooted for and liked, I 751 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 1: don't know, man, it just sums off that they got 752 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 1: they got issues and unlike the Eagles, whether however, the 753 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,640 Speaker 1: season turns out like, we know exactly what their issues are. Well, 754 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,040 Speaker 1: are the Cowboys talent not as great? Is that the 755 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 1: coaching staff, Like, I can't really put a finger on 756 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,799 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Now, if you really want to dive in, 757 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 1: you go, well, the Cowboys offense looked like ship last 758 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,200 Speaker 1: year and then a Mari showed up and they were good. Well, Maori, 759 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 1: you know, wasn't really there. And in the parts where 760 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,840 Speaker 1: he's missed in games when he's been banged up, like you, 761 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,400 Speaker 1: you feel it. They are dependent on a Mari. The 762 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 1: problem with a Mari is on the toughness scale. I 763 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,879 Speaker 1: wouldn't put a Mari on like the DeAndre Hopkins level. 764 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 1: You know, he's when he gets a little hurt, he's 765 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,640 Speaker 1: kind of done. You know, he's gotta be a hundred 766 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 1: percent to play. When he's like eighty, it's you don't 767 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:32,799 Speaker 1: get the same Mary I saw at the front seat 768 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:34,960 Speaker 1: here in Oakland. When he's into it, he's into it. 769 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,920 Speaker 1: When he's not, he's not. And that's the problem. Like, 770 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 1: are you gonna give him Ari eighteen million dollars a year? 771 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,799 Speaker 1: So you're gonna give a Maori sixty million and then 772 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 1: Dak a hunter million. I've just seen the rams they 773 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 1: gave Jared Goffe, all that money they gave Todd Gurley 774 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,279 Speaker 1: all that money and now they're screwed. You better be 775 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 1: careful who you pay. I'll pay Aaron Donald all day long. 776 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 1: I'll pay Khalil Mac all day long. I'll pay Carson Wentz. 777 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,720 Speaker 1: I'll take the risk on that. I'm not big. Amory. 778 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,359 Speaker 1: Healing is higher. I just questioned the durability and how 779 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,839 Speaker 1: hard and much he wants it, you know, And just 780 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: like DeAndre Hopkins, you gotta yank him off the field. 781 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,399 Speaker 1: I'm watching George Kittle. He'd play with a broken leg, 782 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,480 Speaker 1: would not give a ship. So the Niners this offseason 783 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,239 Speaker 1: are gonna give George Kiddle huge money. He'll deserve it. 784 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,720 Speaker 1: I trust that guy to go to war with that guy, Amory. 785 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,520 Speaker 1: I don't know Dak. I do like I'm not. I 786 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,480 Speaker 1: don't question Dax's toughness is lea. I just don't think 787 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:31,600 Speaker 1: he's good enough. And this is the NFL. Like you 788 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 1: don't get like like great, your high character guy who 789 00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 1: everyone loves you. Can you perform like we judge you 790 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 1: on your performance? That stuff matters now. I want high 791 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:45,080 Speaker 1: character guys around, but you gotta be able to perform. 792 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:49,200 Speaker 1: And I just Jason Garrett and Dak Prescott that might 793 00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 1: be Jason Garrett right there on the phone. I I 794 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,840 Speaker 1: just don't trust to perform. We're Doug and Carson big picture, 795 00:39:54,880 --> 00:40:01,800 Speaker 1: I just do Okay, let's dive into the Cleveland Browns 796 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 1: and the Seattle Seahawks, and I don't have much to 797 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:09,080 Speaker 1: say about the Seattle Seahawks. We've talked a lot about them, 798 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:13,360 Speaker 1: uh this year, over the years that their resumes established, 799 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:17,960 Speaker 1: their winners. Their culturest toughness. Their culture is smash mouth. 800 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,120 Speaker 1: Their cultureI ist hit you in the hit you directly 801 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,719 Speaker 1: in the jaw, and if you if you get back up, 802 00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 1: they swing again, and you can swing on them and 803 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,680 Speaker 1: they're always gonna get up. That they put on a 804 00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:32,279 Speaker 1: clinic of just being tougher, of being more relentless, and 805 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 1: having a superstar quarterback like that. That was just they 806 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,160 Speaker 1: were getting their ass kicked early down twenty to six, 807 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,640 Speaker 1: and they just found a way. There's a will, there's 808 00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,600 Speaker 1: a way, and they had Shiko against them. They the 809 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,920 Speaker 1: guys shanked a punt which Let's led to a touchdown. 810 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:48,920 Speaker 1: That was ultimately that they came driving back from Seattle's 811 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:52,759 Speaker 1: just better coached, way less talent. But besides, I mean, 812 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:57,400 Speaker 1: obviously Russell's elite. But they're just beside Russell Wilson. They 813 00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,480 Speaker 1: don't have anywhere near the talent of the Cleveland and Browns. 814 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,720 Speaker 1: But they got Pete Carroll. You know, he's won multiple Natties, 815 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,400 Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl, bend to another. Would he even 816 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 1: hire Freddy Kitchens on his coaching staff. Probably not so 817 00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:11,839 Speaker 1: to me. Seattle Seahawks five and one. You know, it's 818 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 1: pretty clear this Monday night football game and about a 819 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,960 Speaker 1: month from today against them in the Niners could be 820 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,239 Speaker 1: a showdown of like to eight no. An eight no 821 00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 1: and an eight and one team. I mean that could 822 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,839 Speaker 1: be Uh, that could be a big time game. But 823 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:27,239 Speaker 1: we know Seattle's not going away. See how it goes 824 00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 1: to the playoffs. What they do have been there six 825 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,359 Speaker 1: the last seven years. In the worst year in those 826 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,800 Speaker 1: seven year stretcher they went nine and seven. So their 827 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 1: culture reigned supreme. The Browns have no culture. The Browns 828 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,880 Speaker 1: have an owner that stole from our our hard working 829 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:42,680 Speaker 1: truckers in Flying Jay Jimmy Haslum is a clown. Uh. 830 00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:46,080 Speaker 1: Freddy Kitchens, I don't think he's a clown. I just 831 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,000 Speaker 1: think he has no business being in the head coach. 832 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,319 Speaker 1: Completely over his head and some I'm sure there's been 833 00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 1: a lot of coaches when they first got their shot, 834 00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 1: especially if it became at a younger age, that were 835 00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,680 Speaker 1: over their head. And sometimes you have an opportunity to 836 00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:00,920 Speaker 1: kind of work into a job. Well that wasn't the 837 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 1: case with this team because they drafted Baker Mayfield number 838 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 1: one overall. Last year, they trade for Odell Beckham. They 839 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,360 Speaker 1: acted like they were a piece away and they clearly aren't. 840 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,359 Speaker 1: But the one thing I noticed in that game, I'm 841 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 1: not completely putting it on Freddie. I've talked about Freddie. 842 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,719 Speaker 1: I've been qrushing Freddy for a couple of weeks. You 843 00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 1: guys know how I feel. The thing I saw was 844 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:22,319 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, and I was a Baker Mayfield guy as 845 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 1: a player. Now the cockiness and some of that stuff 846 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:26,840 Speaker 1: starting to drive me nuts. But just as a player, 847 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:28,960 Speaker 1: loved him coming out of Oklahoma, and I like what 848 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,799 Speaker 1: I saw last year he hung his hat on being 849 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:37,080 Speaker 1: His accuracy was elite, his ball placement was elite. Why 850 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,319 Speaker 1: noticed in the Seattle game his ball placements all over 851 00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,000 Speaker 1: the map and some of the interceptions he threw three 852 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,560 Speaker 1: were because balls were behind guys. He's putting balls in 853 00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,080 Speaker 1: tough places to catch. Even a ball that he threw 854 00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 1: last week that led to us a long interception in 855 00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,279 Speaker 1: the Niner game, he threw behind his wide receiver. His 856 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:58,759 Speaker 1: ball placement is off. Another thing Baker Mayfield does when 857 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 1: the pocket collapses, he tries to run away like he's 858 00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:06,160 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson or Lamar Jackson. Baker, you're a below average 859 00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:10,600 Speaker 1: NFL athlete. Stop running away, stay in the pocket, and 860 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,960 Speaker 1: either throw the ball away or hit your guys in 861 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:14,719 Speaker 1: the hands, because that's what they drafted you to do. 862 00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,160 Speaker 1: Hit people in the hands. That's what you did. Your 863 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 1: comparison was a stronger arm, Drew Brees. Right now, you're 864 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,040 Speaker 1: not at all. Right now, your balls are going all 865 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,880 Speaker 1: over the map. Like you watch Russell Wilson come on 866 00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:29,600 Speaker 1: the field, accurate, accurate, accurate, hitting guys in stride. Baker 867 00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,000 Speaker 1: throwing it behind guys, throwing it off guy, He's not 868 00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:36,400 Speaker 1: even close like to me. The Browns problem on Sunday, 869 00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,239 Speaker 1: unlike Monday night, where I thought that was a coaching issue, 870 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:44,239 Speaker 1: was Baker Mayfield, who was atrocious. Atrocious, was really bad. 871 00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 1: He's not playing winning football. It's why I said coming 872 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:51,120 Speaker 1: into the season when they anointed this guy PFF and 873 00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,040 Speaker 1: all these people putting him in these top tiers with 874 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:57,840 Speaker 1: Rogers and Russell, Wilson and Brady. It was it wasn't 875 00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,480 Speaker 1: It was like, am I taking crazy bills? And I 876 00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:02,680 Speaker 1: like Baker Mayfield? But what are we putting him in 877 00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,720 Speaker 1: the class with these guys this. You didn't do anything, 878 00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,279 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, and I didn't. I actually didn't think it 879 00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:10,640 Speaker 1: was gonna be this bad. But I didn't think it 880 00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,040 Speaker 1: was gonna come back to earth a little bit. And 881 00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:16,200 Speaker 1: the game Sunday was was a joke. Now I'm not 882 00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,960 Speaker 1: gonna try to, you know, psycho analyze and figure out 883 00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,920 Speaker 1: like the commercials. This I don't know. You know what 884 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,239 Speaker 1: led doing work at? I don't know. I just know 885 00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,920 Speaker 1: his accuracy right now is not good enough. Now when 886 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,040 Speaker 1: you're drafted number one overall. Not when I every time 887 00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:33,800 Speaker 1: I turn on the television, I see your face or 888 00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,560 Speaker 1: open Instagram, I see your face, Like, can we complete 889 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,200 Speaker 1: some important balls against some good teams? And now let's 890 00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:42,000 Speaker 1: Seattle just punk you at home and now you have 891 00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:43,640 Speaker 1: a buy and then you get the New England Patriots, 892 00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,040 Speaker 1: so you can tell me all you want about you know, 893 00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,839 Speaker 1: the second half of their schedules. Easy, I don't care. 894 00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,160 Speaker 1: If they played Miami Dolphins eight straight times in the 895 00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,040 Speaker 1: second half of the schedule, they're about to be two 896 00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,520 Speaker 1: and five. Now, if you played the Miami Dolphins, you 897 00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:59,239 Speaker 1: probably rattle off like six wins. But bad example. I'm 898 00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,400 Speaker 1: just saying you can pull a you know, the Steelers, 899 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:05,840 Speaker 1: like you're not allowed to beat anybody. You're the Cleveland Browns. 900 00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:09,200 Speaker 1: My entire adult life, you've been losers and now I 901 00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:12,400 Speaker 1: watch you, you have quote unquote more talent, you're still losers. 902 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 1: So to just think when I read these things, the 903 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:20,000 Speaker 1: Browns schedule down the stretches, easy, I don't care, because again, 904 00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,040 Speaker 1: you're not playing the Dolphins all a games that that 905 00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,040 Speaker 1: was unfair. They would probably beat them all eight games. 906 00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:28,000 Speaker 1: But if you're just playing normal NFL teams beside the Dolphins, 907 00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:32,880 Speaker 1: and probably they play the Bengals twice. But like the Steelers, 908 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:34,880 Speaker 1: are you gonna beat the Ravens again? I don't know, 909 00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,000 Speaker 1: we'll see. I'm not picking you to beat any game 910 00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:41,360 Speaker 1: beside the Bengals or like the Dolphins. You haven't earned that. 911 00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,000 Speaker 1: Your quarterbacks not playing well enough, your coach has no 912 00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 1: clue what he's doing. The Browns are are a disaster 913 00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:51,440 Speaker 1: right now, and they get the Patriots. They think they 914 00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,080 Speaker 1: have a bye this week, and then the Patriots two 915 00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:56,040 Speaker 1: and five. I would imagine the history of the league. 916 00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:58,839 Speaker 1: There have not been many two and five teams make 917 00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:02,680 Speaker 1: the playoffs. And the Ravens are now what four and two? 918 00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:06,759 Speaker 1: So they got a comfortable little lead. Now, granted, you 919 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,600 Speaker 1: know the Browns beat him in their one head to 920 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,800 Speaker 1: head matchup, But do I think that John Harbaugh is 921 00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:15,000 Speaker 1: just gonna lose two games to Freddy Kitchens? And you 922 00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,880 Speaker 1: know I'm not some big Ravens guy, but by no means, 923 00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,200 Speaker 1: am I just you know what? Freddy Kitchens will have 924 00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,520 Speaker 1: that handled? No chance. I I just think that when 925 00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:27,920 Speaker 1: you watch that game, uh them against Seattle, it was 926 00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:31,359 Speaker 1: an eye opening experience from Baker, like why why can't 927 00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 1: he place these balls where he used to be able 928 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,359 Speaker 1: to place him? He doesn't know where the football is going, 929 00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,480 Speaker 1: no clue. It feels like he's lost a little bit. 930 00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,520 Speaker 1: Whether it's lost confidence, whether he's a little rattled. I 931 00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,600 Speaker 1: I don't know whether he's not confident in the plays 932 00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:46,200 Speaker 1: being called. I don't quite know. I don't know anyone 933 00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:50,600 Speaker 1: with the Browns. But they better get Baker Mayfield fixed, 934 00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,000 Speaker 1: and they better get him fixed fast, because you think 935 00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,960 Speaker 1: it was ugly against Seattle. Now, Seattle is a culture 936 00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,520 Speaker 1: team right now, but they're not really a talent team, 937 00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,040 Speaker 1: especially in the back end of their deep ends. Well, 938 00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,799 Speaker 1: the Patriots are the opposite. They got dbs everywhere and 939 00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:09,160 Speaker 1: they're picking off balls like it's flag football. So you 940 00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,799 Speaker 1: better figure you know, this whole thing out in the 941 00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:13,760 Speaker 1: next week and a half and somehow get your mojo 942 00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:18,600 Speaker 1: back or you won't just lose, you'll get embarrassed. Okay, 943 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,080 Speaker 1: let's uh, let's jump around the league and just some 944 00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:25,520 Speaker 1: things that happened yesterday. I'd say probably the biggest win 945 00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,520 Speaker 1: beside the Niners was Houston going on the road in 946 00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:32,520 Speaker 1: Kansas City. Kansas City is now lost back to back games. 947 00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:34,680 Speaker 1: They're still four and two, and I still will be 948 00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,040 Speaker 1: shocked if they don't go twelve and four. They play 949 00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:41,200 Speaker 1: the Broncos this week, who Denner is a sneaky, good, 950 00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:45,240 Speaker 1: bad team like they they have unlike the red Skins 951 00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:47,800 Speaker 1: of the Dolphins. Like when they lost their four straight games, 952 00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,000 Speaker 1: they were in every game and if it wasn't for 953 00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:52,200 Speaker 1: just a miracle at the end of the Bears game, 954 00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:53,920 Speaker 1: they would have been one and three, and they'd be 955 00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:55,399 Speaker 1: three and three right now, and we'll be like, God, 956 00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:58,160 Speaker 1: they don't suck that much. I would expect Kansas City 957 00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:00,440 Speaker 1: to get their mojo back. They do have somewhat of 958 00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:02,799 Speaker 1: a problem right now. They can't stop the run. When 959 00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:05,840 Speaker 1: Carlos Hides running all over you, a guy that they 960 00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:07,960 Speaker 1: had traded to Houston, it's a little bit of a 961 00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:11,560 Speaker 1: problem now. The other thing is Mahomes has been somewhat 962 00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:13,760 Speaker 1: human and I think part of it is because his ankle. 963 00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,680 Speaker 1: He's not moving around quite as well. But the Texans 964 00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,000 Speaker 1: are good, you know, Deshaun Watson is a baller. Like. 965 00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,239 Speaker 1: That's just a good team. That was a playoff level game. 966 00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,520 Speaker 1: Chiefs didn't play that well and lost. I saw a 967 00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,160 Speaker 1: great tweet by like an NBA reporter out of Chicago 968 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,239 Speaker 1: that that said, I would love to watch this game 969 00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 1: with Ryan Pace. Ryan Pace GM of the Bears drafted 970 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,640 Speaker 1: Mr Bisky over those two guys, and that that would 971 00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:38,239 Speaker 1: have been a tough game. I know Ryan paces on 972 00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:42,600 Speaker 1: a bye, but to watch, uh god, I mean you 973 00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,200 Speaker 1: passed on you took Mr Bisky over both those two guys. 974 00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:49,359 Speaker 1: I get passing on my homes, but over Watson took 975 00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:53,319 Speaker 1: Mr Bisky over Watson. Watson is a baller. I would 976 00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:55,920 Speaker 1: imagine coach reading all the Chiefs and I was. I 977 00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,560 Speaker 1: tweeted at Honey Badger today. He actually tweeted back at me. 978 00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,279 Speaker 1: I was just joking about the Money Night football game. 979 00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,279 Speaker 1: He would say, you know, if you just and he 980 00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:08,680 Speaker 1: loves Deshaun Watson, like that guy's good. That guy's a star. Now. 981 00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:12,120 Speaker 1: He doesn't have the physical gifts maybe of WinCE or 982 00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:16,279 Speaker 1: Mahomes just in terms of pure arm velocity, but the 983 00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,040 Speaker 1: guy makes plays. I I respect the hell out of 984 00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:22,400 Speaker 1: that guy. He's a He's a stud man, he really is. 985 00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,120 Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs are gonna be fine. Also, you know, 986 00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:28,479 Speaker 1: the Raiders play the Packers, then the Texans, they're gonna 987 00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,719 Speaker 1: go like the nine and seven would win you the 988 00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:33,640 Speaker 1: f C West, and the Chiefs are easily gonna get 989 00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:38,400 Speaker 1: to ten wins. Uh Kirk Cousins listen. I talked to 990 00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,040 Speaker 1: him about it a little earlier with the Eagles. He 991 00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:44,560 Speaker 1: needed that game because he had dropped the ball against 992 00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:47,319 Speaker 1: the Bears earlier in the season and looked horrendous, Like 993 00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,240 Speaker 1: they pay you a lot of money for the Bears 994 00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:51,120 Speaker 1: to play the Eagles, to play the Packers. You gotta 995 00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:54,680 Speaker 1: play well in those games. Whatever. You play bad against 996 00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:57,080 Speaker 1: the Jets or the Dolphins, and the team still wins. 997 00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,520 Speaker 1: No one cares like Feeling says, we can't run the 998 00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:03,040 Speaker 1: ball for a hundred fifty yards every game. We're gonna 999 00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,960 Speaker 1: hit big shots. Why we got two sweet receivers. Feeling 1000 00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:09,520 Speaker 1: is awesome. Diggs might be better, and they took advantage 1001 00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:11,320 Speaker 1: of that. And you know the great thing about the NFL. 1002 00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:15,840 Speaker 1: In the NBA, when players demand to trade, GM's often 1003 00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:19,399 Speaker 1: acquiesced and bend over to him. In the NFL, they say, 1004 00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:23,400 Speaker 1: cute story, bro, have fun with that trade request. You 1005 00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:27,400 Speaker 1: ain't going anywhere. So if Stefan Diggs asked for trade, 1006 00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:30,719 Speaker 1: they ain't trade him. You know, you don't trade a 1007 00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:34,080 Speaker 1: guy like that. He's just too good. Uh. And you 1008 00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,000 Speaker 1: know the easiest way to get have a wide receiver, 1009 00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:39,640 Speaker 1: get over his trade request, throw him bombs. And that's 1010 00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:43,400 Speaker 1: what Kirk Cousins was doing. Uh. You know, it's pretty 1011 00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:46,040 Speaker 1: clear when you start looking at the landscape of coaches 1012 00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:47,560 Speaker 1: who are going to get fired at the end of 1013 00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:50,680 Speaker 1: the year. You know, Jay's gone kind of looked like 1014 00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:54,160 Speaker 1: Rivera was in trouble. He's flipped the script fast. He's 1015 00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:57,320 Speaker 1: now foreign to and looks like a playoff team. Dan Quinn. 1016 00:50:57,960 --> 00:50:59,759 Speaker 1: It's one thing to get beat by the Tampa Bay 1017 00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:04,239 Speaker 1: back and have them throw up points on you. It's 1018 00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:08,200 Speaker 1: another thing, too, uh to lose the dan Quinn or 1019 00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:11,760 Speaker 1: I mean to lose the Arizona Cardinals and Kyler Murray 1020 00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:15,279 Speaker 1: and they were getting beat pretty soundly the majority of 1021 00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:20,400 Speaker 1: the game. That was bad. That that was that was embarrassing. 1022 00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:22,839 Speaker 1: Now I think they like dan Quinn. They probably won't 1023 00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,719 Speaker 1: fire in mid season, at least not till December. But 1024 00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:29,720 Speaker 1: he's done. It's over. It's it's a rap like it's official. 1025 00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:34,080 Speaker 1: Now they're one in five. Their defense is hideous. He's 1026 00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,359 Speaker 1: he has nothing to do with Julio or Matt Ryan. 1027 00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:39,760 Speaker 1: He's a defensive coach and their defense couldn't be any worse. 1028 00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:43,200 Speaker 1: It could not be any worse. One game this morning 1029 00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:44,879 Speaker 1: I went, you know, I tried to get a little 1030 00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:46,200 Speaker 1: work out in the morning. I tried to watch a 1031 00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:47,760 Speaker 1: couple of games I don't get to see on Sunday. 1032 00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:50,880 Speaker 1: The first game I threw on was Jacksonville in the Saints, 1033 00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:54,040 Speaker 1: Gardner came back to earth a little bit. One guy 1034 00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:56,799 Speaker 1: that actually like a lot is DJ Charks. He's been 1035 00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:59,680 Speaker 1: he's been really good man. Him and DK Metcalf been 1036 00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:03,480 Speaker 1: making plays this year. Dennis Allen, who I had a 1037 00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:04,920 Speaker 1: front row seat when I used to work at the 1038 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:07,160 Speaker 1: Raider Station. We used to make so much fun of him. 1039 00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:10,439 Speaker 1: He was just he was a terrible head coach. Now 1040 00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:12,680 Speaker 1: part of that their team was pretty shitty. I mean, 1041 00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:15,640 Speaker 1: their a roster wasn't good. But he was so stiff 1042 00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:17,840 Speaker 1: and he was such a he had a nickname like 1043 00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:19,800 Speaker 1: stick in the mud. He was just he needed to 1044 00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:24,360 Speaker 1: lighten up. And he's gone to Sean Payton and turned 1045 00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:28,160 Speaker 1: that defense into an absolute hammer of the unit. Because 1046 00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:32,480 Speaker 1: they hammered the Jacksonville Jaguars. They are so physical like 1047 00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:34,480 Speaker 1: them in the Niners right now are on a different 1048 00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,959 Speaker 1: level of just physically hitting people. Now the Patriots can cover, 1049 00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:41,080 Speaker 1: I mean they can cover. It feels like they got 1050 00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:43,959 Speaker 1: four Dion Sanders going right now. Obviously Gilmore is playing 1051 00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:45,839 Speaker 1: at that level, but there are other guys. Mccordies are 1052 00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:49,080 Speaker 1: making plays. Their secondary is awesome. But when you watch 1053 00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:52,520 Speaker 1: the Niners in the Saints they're cracking skulls. People are 1054 00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:57,759 Speaker 1: getting crushed. Their d lines dominate. Now the Patriots as 1055 00:52:57,760 --> 00:52:59,880 Speaker 1: a unit are playing really well. I don't feel like 1056 00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,480 Speaker 1: they're as physical as those teams. I'm not trying to 1057 00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:06,000 Speaker 1: diminish what they're doing, because it's all the point of 1058 00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:08,520 Speaker 1: the game on defenses and not allowed points and all that. 1059 00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:11,560 Speaker 1: All these teams are doing it. I'm pretty sure Sean 1060 00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:14,480 Speaker 1: Payton someone forwarded me that he said after the game 1061 00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:17,400 Speaker 1: they could have played eight quarters and the Jags wouldn't 1062 00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:20,640 Speaker 1: have scored. That that was impressive. And Gardner was, you know, 1063 00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:23,480 Speaker 1: do he's a six round rookie for for a clunker 1064 00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:26,560 Speaker 1: and you got a clunker. I don't know if we've 1065 00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:29,759 Speaker 1: ever seen in the history of the league that there 1066 00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:32,800 Speaker 1: was I guess it was ninety nine. Did it went 1067 00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:38,200 Speaker 1: Couch McNabb, Achille Smith And obviously McNabb was a royal 1068 00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:40,680 Speaker 1: hit for the Eagles, right, I don't know, you know 1069 00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:43,120 Speaker 1: if a Hall of if you'd consider consider a home 1070 00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:45,239 Speaker 1: run a Hall of Famer. He was like a stand 1071 00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:48,919 Speaker 1: up triple. The other two guys were busts. What's weird 1072 00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,799 Speaker 1: about Mariotta and jamis like those guys are busting out 1073 00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:54,319 Speaker 1: of the league, like Mariota and Jamis are both gonna 1074 00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:56,200 Speaker 1: be in the league for ten years. They're they're not 1075 00:53:56,239 --> 00:54:00,480 Speaker 1: going away, but they they're not They're not hits, but 1076 00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:03,280 Speaker 1: they're not exactly bust. They're just not any good. They're 1077 00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:07,359 Speaker 1: kind of bizarre. Like you watched Jamis and I got up. 1078 00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:10,120 Speaker 1: I watched bits and pieces of the early game. The 1079 00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:13,160 Speaker 1: way I would describe Jamis is, I went out on 1080 00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:16,160 Speaker 1: Saturday night. I was out of dinner, out with this 1081 00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:19,879 Speaker 1: girl whatever. I had some fun what kind of roll 1082 00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:23,480 Speaker 1: over my bed and not actually in my own bed, 1083 00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:25,720 Speaker 1: so I had I had the phone under my pillow 1084 00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:28,160 Speaker 1: and I pulled the I pulled the phone out a 1085 00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:30,080 Speaker 1: see at six forty in the morning, it might have 1086 00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,920 Speaker 1: been like sixty two. I'm like, oh, the games on. 1087 00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:36,759 Speaker 1: So I click on my ESPN app and I click 1088 00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:41,160 Speaker 1: it and I see there was a minute into the game, 1089 00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:43,560 Speaker 1: and so I just checked the stats because it's already 1090 00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:45,600 Speaker 1: three nothing or maybe it was two minutes in and 1091 00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:48,239 Speaker 1: Jamis was oh of one had had a pick. So 1092 00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:50,560 Speaker 1: it wasn't even seven am on the West Coast and 1093 00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:53,520 Speaker 1: Jamis had already had a pick. He just throws picks 1094 00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:56,959 Speaker 1: at historic rates. He has more picks by a mile 1095 00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,759 Speaker 1: than games played in his career, and I mean a 1096 00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:01,759 Speaker 1: couple all those picks late in the game. Whatever, But 1097 00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,279 Speaker 1: he's picks in the middle and key spots are just 1098 00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:07,640 Speaker 1: are terrible. And Mariotte is the opposite. He like refuses 1099 00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:11,279 Speaker 1: to throw the ball. Just a disaster. I mean, it's 1100 00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:14,759 Speaker 1: just those two guys. They're different, yet they're both the same. 1101 00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,719 Speaker 1: They're just not good enough that they're not. So it's 1102 00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:20,640 Speaker 1: just I don't even know what to say. And then 1103 00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,560 Speaker 1: on the other end, the Panthers, man, they've just gone 1104 00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:26,400 Speaker 1: foreign to And I saw Schefter or someone tweeted that 1105 00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:30,120 Speaker 1: Cam is gonna come back. Well, here's the thing, Like 1106 00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:34,280 Speaker 1: everyone's like, what do you do. It's easy. If Cams healthy, 1107 00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:37,359 Speaker 1: you can put you can always bring Kyle Allen back 1108 00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,920 Speaker 1: to the bench. He's Kyle Allen. He's an undrafted free agent. 1109 00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:43,759 Speaker 1: Cam gets to play, and if Cam's not good, you 1110 00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:47,000 Speaker 1: just bench him after that. But it's it's an easy move, 1111 00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:49,360 Speaker 1: Like Kyle Allen's not untouchable. And I'm not even a 1112 00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:52,520 Speaker 1: Cam guy. When Cam's one healthy, you just put him 1113 00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:56,120 Speaker 1: back out there. If if he quote unquote is one healthy, 1114 00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:58,080 Speaker 1: and you bring Kyle Allen back to the bench, and 1115 00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:00,800 Speaker 1: if if cam lose you a game, you flip it. 1116 00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:04,560 Speaker 1: It's pretty easy. You give camera shot and you go 1117 00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:07,839 Speaker 1: from there. But I'm watching Kyle Allen. It's not really 1118 00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:11,400 Speaker 1: debatable at this point that he's he's pretty good. I 1119 00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:15,839 Speaker 1: I was thoroughly impressed with Kyle Allen the Washington Miami game. 1120 00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:18,880 Speaker 1: Zero thoughts. I watched maybe two snaps of that game. 1121 00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:22,520 Speaker 1: Kudos the Miami for attempting the two point conversion. Josh 1122 00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:24,759 Speaker 1: Norman is just a terrible football player at this point 1123 00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,759 Speaker 1: in time. I root for Washington just to loose every 1124 00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:32,919 Speaker 1: game possible. I hate everything about those two teams. Uh Baltimore. 1125 00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:35,800 Speaker 1: You know, people make such a big deal over Lamar 1126 00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:39,840 Speaker 1: Jackson his rushing yards I have. I could care less 1127 00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:43,319 Speaker 1: about how many rushing yards a quarterback has. Pay you 1128 00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:47,600 Speaker 1: to throw the ball, like throw the football, and I 1129 00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:49,640 Speaker 1: think that's basically we have most of the games covered. 1130 00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:53,920 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh LH Chargers. I mean the moment the Steelers went 1131 00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:56,840 Speaker 1: up four to nothing, where I guess it was fourteen 1132 00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:59,680 Speaker 1: to nothing, then it went twenty one nothing. As I 1133 00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:02,160 Speaker 1: said earlier, is the lowest rated game Sunday Night Football. 1134 00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:03,480 Speaker 1: I turned the game off because I was in my 1135 00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:06,919 Speaker 1: office and turned it on the Yankee game. That game 1136 00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:09,080 Speaker 1: was an embarrassment. The Chargers should be embarrassed. De in 1137 00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:12,560 Speaker 1: Spanish should be embarrassed. The team stinks. I mean to 1138 00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:15,440 Speaker 1: get beat by Duck Hodges. To get beat by a 1139 00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:17,800 Speaker 1: four string guy that was wouldn't even have been in 1140 00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:20,600 Speaker 1: the NFL if it weren't for several interviews, and his 1141 00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:23,320 Speaker 1: claim to fame is he's the best duck caller in 1142 00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:25,840 Speaker 1: the NFL. Like you get beat by a guy whose 1143 00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:30,240 Speaker 1: nicknames Duck Hodges. But again, like I said earlier on 1144 00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:33,480 Speaker 1: the podcast, that's what happens when you, you know, have 1145 00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:35,800 Speaker 1: a four million dollar coach. That there there's a reason 1146 00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:38,000 Speaker 1: all the best coaches make like seven eight nine million. 1147 00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:40,040 Speaker 1: You get what you pay for in life, like in 1148 00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:43,800 Speaker 1: the NFL. Okay, let's get to the middlecoff mail back, 1149 00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:46,240 Speaker 1: got some questions slide up in those d m s. 1150 00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:51,600 Speaker 1: Answer it right here, Hey, John jumped on the bandwagon. 1151 00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:54,440 Speaker 1: I love your takes, appreciate it. Had a question in 1152 00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,440 Speaker 1: the tank for two US sweep steaks, the Dolphins and 1153 00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:00,480 Speaker 1: the Bengals and the Redskins are all pathetic with the 1154 00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:03,120 Speaker 1: new coach for the Redskins move off Haskins like he 1155 00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:07,600 Speaker 1: was Josh Rosen. The trend seems like the new coach 1156 00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:10,960 Speaker 1: will want his own guy, but I feel bad he 1157 00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:13,320 Speaker 1: isn't gonna get a fair shake. Well, I'd say the 1158 00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:17,400 Speaker 1: difference here is that let's say the Redskins finished two 1159 00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,040 Speaker 1: inch two and fourteen and have like the number two 1160 00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:22,040 Speaker 1: or three picks, So let's say two of goes one 1161 00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:24,600 Speaker 1: or Herbert goes one or Burrow go whatever the order is, 1162 00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:29,640 Speaker 1: and have an opportunity to draft quarterback. The owner drafted Haskins. 1163 00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:32,240 Speaker 1: So if you want it to get the Redskins job, 1164 00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:35,760 Speaker 1: the only person who's gonna get the Redskins job is 1165 00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:37,920 Speaker 1: going to be a be a coach that says he 1166 00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:40,960 Speaker 1: likes Dwayne Haskins. If you say you don't like Dwayne 1167 00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:44,120 Speaker 1: unless you're like Mike Tomlin. You know there were some 1168 00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:45,840 Speaker 1: rumors about that, but I just mean like a high, 1169 00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:47,960 Speaker 1: high level coach that he wouldn't be able to turn down. 1170 00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:50,680 Speaker 1: But like the coaches, the Jay Gruden's he's gonna go 1171 00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:55,400 Speaker 1: after in the league are going to like have to 1172 00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:59,520 Speaker 1: tell him they like Haskins because it's one thing like 1173 00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:01,600 Speaker 1: the owner didn't give a shit about Josh Rosen. It 1174 00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:04,400 Speaker 1: didn't mean anything to him, right, They weren't tight, like 1175 00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:09,320 Speaker 1: this was Dan Snyder's pick. He wanted Dwayne Haskins, so 1176 00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:12,920 Speaker 1: I I would lean not like Dwayne Haskins is going 1177 00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:14,840 Speaker 1: to start for a couple of years for the Redskins. 1178 00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:17,560 Speaker 1: Now if he's bad, they'll just move on. But he's 1179 00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:20,800 Speaker 1: gonna get to play. Why is Eric Berry still not 1180 00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:22,880 Speaker 1: on a team. We've seen Richard Sherman come back from 1181 00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:26,040 Speaker 1: Achilles injury and still performed well. What teams should sign 1182 00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:29,400 Speaker 1: him to enhance their secondary? We'll remember it was more 1183 00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:32,520 Speaker 1: than the Achilles. He just couldn't stay healthy. I think 1184 00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:35,200 Speaker 1: there were other things holding them back. Because remember he's 1185 00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:38,800 Speaker 1: towards Achilles like three years ago, and he was injured 1186 00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:42,680 Speaker 1: last year. It was just always something I'd have to 1187 00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:45,080 Speaker 1: ask people in Kansas City what the exact injuries were 1188 00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:48,600 Speaker 1: beside the Achilles. But it wasn't just the Achilles. I 1189 00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:50,680 Speaker 1: would agree. Just the Achilles in itself you can come 1190 00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:53,280 Speaker 1: back from. But I think he had other knee issues. 1191 00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:55,760 Speaker 1: I think he the reason he's out of the NFL 1192 00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:59,840 Speaker 1: right now is because his health is just terrible inter 1193 01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:01,840 Speaker 1: terms of like health to play football. I think his 1194 01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:05,000 Speaker 1: health knock on wood with like cancer and stuff. He 1195 01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:07,560 Speaker 1: overcame that and the Chiefs love I mean, he was 1196 01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:11,120 Speaker 1: like their team captain. He was their guy. But you 1197 01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:14,160 Speaker 1: get to a point where, even if you're beloved on 1198 01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:17,480 Speaker 1: the team, where injuries just take a toll and you 1199 01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:19,080 Speaker 1: have to move on. It's a tough part about the 1200 01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:21,360 Speaker 1: business with a guy like that, you know who I 1201 01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:25,360 Speaker 1: would imagine the Chiefs just I mean again, they love him, 1202 01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:30,880 Speaker 1: but he just he's just always hurt. I wanted to 1203 01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:34,000 Speaker 1: ask you your thoughts on to a Tonga VLOA. I 1204 01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:36,120 Speaker 1: don't think I tag you. I don't even want I'll 1205 01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:38,720 Speaker 1: just call him to a from all I hear, he's 1206 01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:40,880 Speaker 1: a second coming of Elway or Luck. Let's pump the 1207 01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:43,800 Speaker 1: brakes there. I'm a Texas and m graduate right now, 1208 01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:46,400 Speaker 1: right out of school, so I saw plenty of them 1209 01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:49,400 Speaker 1: while I was there and later again today. Unfortunately he 1210 01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:53,720 Speaker 1: was good today. But I do believe, but I do 1211 01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:56,080 Speaker 1: believe he's one of the best college players I've ever seen. 1212 01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,480 Speaker 1: I think here's the most difficult part with to Ah 1213 01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:03,040 Speaker 1: is that he is playing with three wide receivers. As 1214 01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:05,720 Speaker 1: an NFL scout told me earlier this year, two are 1215 01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:07,880 Speaker 1: gonna go in the top fifteen. Jerry Judy might go 1216 01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:11,200 Speaker 1: in the top five. I think the fast one is Rugs. 1217 01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:13,640 Speaker 1: I might be getting him. And the other guy flipped 1218 01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:16,640 Speaker 1: around whoever, the guy that runs like a four one forty, 1219 01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:18,880 Speaker 1: He's gonna go on the top fifteen. He's like a 1220 01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:22,520 Speaker 1: better version of John Ross, you know, Tavon Austin type, 1221 01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:24,080 Speaker 1: but he's better than all those guys. And then they 1222 01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:25,800 Speaker 1: got another guy who probably go in the second round. 1223 01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:29,000 Speaker 1: So you've got two top fifteen wide receivers and another 1224 01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:31,720 Speaker 1: guy that's gonna go in the second round. His wide 1225 01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:34,560 Speaker 1: receiving corps right now in college is probably one of 1226 01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:36,840 Speaker 1: the best units we've seen, like the last thirty years. 1227 01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:39,479 Speaker 1: And when you watch him, he does throw a beautiful ball. 1228 01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:43,360 Speaker 1: I think the question is gonna be what's he like 1229 01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:45,280 Speaker 1: throwing in a tight windows. That's why I think when 1230 01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:49,080 Speaker 1: he plays Auburn, when he plays l s U, when 1231 01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:52,960 Speaker 1: then he plays whoever he plays in the SEC championship game, 1232 01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:55,960 Speaker 1: which will probably be Georgia, and then when he plays 1233 01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:59,720 Speaker 1: Clemson Ohio State, you know some of these teams, Oklahoma, 1234 01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:02,640 Speaker 1: who's actually pretty good on defense. I think he's really 1235 01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:05,240 Speaker 1: gonna be nitpicked. So I think the game against L 1236 01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:07,080 Speaker 1: s U, I think the game against Auburn, I think 1237 01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:09,240 Speaker 1: the game against Georgia, and then I think the playoff 1238 01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:13,600 Speaker 1: games are going to be heavily, heavily emphasized. That's why 1239 01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:18,080 Speaker 1: I said, when you got Joe Burrow, he keeps passing 1240 01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:20,600 Speaker 1: these tests. Now so does TOA but too has been 1241 01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:23,160 Speaker 1: doing it for a while. I think people are everyone 1242 01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:25,440 Speaker 1: I talked to their loves him like it does. The 1243 01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:29,840 Speaker 1: SEC is a high character guy. Obviously, all the poly guys. 1244 01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:31,920 Speaker 1: It was like this at Fresno. When you bring a 1245 01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,920 Speaker 1: poly guy in recruiting visit, like twenty people come. I 1246 01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:38,720 Speaker 1: think to his entire family lives in Tuscaloosa, big kind 1247 01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:43,320 Speaker 1: of group of guys, big, very family oriented, highly respected, 1248 01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:47,480 Speaker 1: has some swag. People like him, just a legend in 1249 01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:50,600 Speaker 1: the town right now. Obviously, I've I've yet to hear 1250 01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:53,280 Speaker 1: one negative thing about the person. So I think he 1251 01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:56,120 Speaker 1: checks all the boxes off the field, and then you 1252 01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:59,520 Speaker 1: go on the field. The question is, what's it gonna 1253 01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:03,200 Speaker 1: be like when he doesn't have guys wide open? Or 1254 01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:05,720 Speaker 1: when he's playing, you go to Miami, there wide receivers 1255 01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:09,960 Speaker 1: are worse than Alabama. It's that's not that's not even opinion, 1256 01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:13,160 Speaker 1: that's a fact. So there is some projection there where 1257 01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:17,440 Speaker 1: Luck I mean Luck was six five and two pounds 1258 01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:20,760 Speaker 1: and a genius, you know, and really accurate or to 1259 01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:23,479 Speaker 1: a he's a little smaller, you know, he's probably six 1260 01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:27,960 Speaker 1: one I guess two fifteen. But he's good. I like him, 1261 01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:31,960 Speaker 1: you know, now, do I love him? I don't see 1262 01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:33,760 Speaker 1: a guy i'd love to take top five. I mean, 1263 01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:36,000 Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind taking like the twenties, but that's not 1264 01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:40,640 Speaker 1: the reality of where he's gonna go. Hey John, longtime listener, 1265 01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:43,880 Speaker 1: just wondering, what's the silly logic behind the staggered bye 1266 01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:46,000 Speaker 1: week schedule. Why can't all the teams have buys on 1267 01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:50,040 Speaker 1: the same week so like Thanksgiving except for one team 1268 01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:53,640 Speaker 1: game with the Cowboys. I mean, the league preaches parody everywhere, 1269 01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:56,440 Speaker 1: yet put such an unnecessary strain on teams by scheduling 1270 01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:59,960 Speaker 1: these buys all over the place. Yeah, you're asking the 1271 01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:03,000 Speaker 1: wrong guy. I'll be honest, I know nothing about like 1272 01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:07,160 Speaker 1: why buys or where, And you know I'm not going 1273 01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:09,440 Speaker 1: to complain about it because it's always been like that. 1274 01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:12,840 Speaker 1: They're always staggered, you know, think about the advantage, like 1275 01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:15,520 Speaker 1: the forty nine there by week three. I think if 1276 01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:17,720 Speaker 1: you're a team that has your bye week eight, think 1277 01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:19,760 Speaker 1: of the advantage if you can have the bye week eight. 1278 01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:21,919 Speaker 1: We don't want to buy week three or four or five. 1279 01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:25,120 Speaker 1: You want a week like nine or ten to give yourselves, 1280 01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:27,960 Speaker 1: like guys, kind of a week off, a chance to 1281 01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:30,040 Speaker 1: take a deep breath and to have the home stretch. 1282 01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:34,600 Speaker 1: I also think the league looks at it like you 1283 01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:38,000 Speaker 1: get two buys, You get a bye, you know, legit 1284 01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:40,520 Speaker 1: by and then your Thursday night game technically as a bye, 1285 01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:44,040 Speaker 1: you get ten days off. Now you gotta practice that 1286 01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:46,720 Speaker 1: next week, but you get you know, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 1287 01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:48,240 Speaker 1: and you kind of get to ease into the week. 1288 01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:51,920 Speaker 1: Question for the podcast, Well, you can see now that 1289 01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:54,080 Speaker 1: the forty nine is the top dog in the NFC West. 1290 01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:56,200 Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago you told the Seattle was 1291 01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:58,560 Speaker 1: a favorite to win the NFC West after barely edging 1292 01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:00,440 Speaker 1: out l A due to a rare miss field goal 1293 01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:06,880 Speaker 1: teams team teams that Seattle has barely edged out and 1294 01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:10,560 Speaker 1: getting obliterated by the Niners. Yeah, I mean, I just 1295 01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:13,560 Speaker 1: think Seattle's earned it once the Niners beat them. If 1296 01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:16,040 Speaker 1: they do, then I'll tip my hat to the Niners. 1297 01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:18,880 Speaker 1: I think the Niners are really good. That game Sunday 1298 01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:22,880 Speaker 1: was a clinic. Their defense is elite, Kyle's elite. Can 1299 01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:25,000 Speaker 1: they beat Seattle? I mean they've struggled to beat Seattle 1300 01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:28,360 Speaker 1: over the last ten years, even when hardball is here, 1301 01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:31,680 Speaker 1: like Seattle's kind of gotten the best selling Seattle, like 1302 01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:33,480 Speaker 1: I said in the Cleveland kind of ramp, they have 1303 01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:36,840 Speaker 1: a culture of toughness, and they can they can like 1304 01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:39,400 Speaker 1: kind of reach back to all these games they've won 1305 01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:42,800 Speaker 1: over the last, you know, several years. So yeah, I 1306 01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:46,040 Speaker 1: think the Niners can hang with them. But do I 1307 01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:48,960 Speaker 1: feel confident the Niners is gonna beat them. I don't. 1308 01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:52,320 Speaker 1: Doesn't mean they can't, doesn't mean they won't. But I'm 1309 01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:54,400 Speaker 1: not gonna stand up here and just make some prediction 1310 01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:56,600 Speaker 1: that Niers are gonna win. They might, they could, They 1311 01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:59,720 Speaker 1: easily could. Niners are good, Seattle is good. It's too 1312 01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:02,280 Speaker 1: good to games. I couldn't ask for anything more. Legit 1313 01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:05,720 Speaker 1: rivals like the Rams aren't really the Niners rifle you know, 1314 01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:07,840 Speaker 1: when I grew up, the Niners rivals were the Cowboys 1315 01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:11,480 Speaker 1: and the Packers. I don't look at the Rams like 1316 01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:14,800 Speaker 1: I hate the Lakers. I I don't really hate the 1317 01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:17,360 Speaker 1: Dodgers despite being a big Giants fan, because the Giants 1318 01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:20,880 Speaker 1: them and the Dodgers never playing impactful games beside the season, 1319 01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:22,600 Speaker 1: like the years they won the World Series, the Dodgers 1320 01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:25,800 Speaker 1: sucked vice first of the last five years. The Rams 1321 01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:27,520 Speaker 1: have been a St. Louis forever. I don't even like 1322 01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:30,920 Speaker 1: view them as an l a team. Necessarily appreciate everyone listening. 1323 01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:37,000 Speaker 1: Enjoy the day, Enjoy the week. Oh man, I'm I'm 1324 01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:38,440 Speaker 1: already kind of wiped out. It's not a lot of 1325 01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:40,560 Speaker 1: football these last three or four days. You gotta love 1326 01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:45,120 Speaker 1: football season, man, I'm just gutted for the Lions.
