1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: The volume. This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What 2 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: is up Straight firefam, It's me Jason McIntire, Straight Fire 3 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: for Tuesday, November twenty eighth. That was a game last night, 4 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: was it not? Ladies and gentlemen? Oh my gosh, field 5 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: goals and turnovers and just disgusting football all around. However, 6 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: Bears plus three gets home on the late justin Fields 7 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,840 Speaker 1: drive and it's funny because you know, Rob and I talked, Okay, 8 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: you know, we can do some other NFL stuff later. 9 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: We'll spend some time on the game, and I think 10 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: the game will be summed up as it was garbage. 11 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: It was terrible. The Minnesota Vikings somehow are still clinging 12 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 1: to the seventh seed in the NFC, Like this is wild? 13 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: Are you ready for this? So currently the Eagles will 14 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: get to buy the forty nine Ers would host the Vikings. 15 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: I would guess the forty nine Ers are at least 16 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: fourteen point favorite at thirteen and a half, fourteen point 17 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: favorites against the Vikings in San France, like Josh Doobbs 18 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: against that front, like just get out of town. The 19 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,919 Speaker 1: Pastronaut had a great run, but it's over for Dobbs 20 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 1: listen as I said this on social media during the game, 21 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: like he is a great, great backup. Josh Dobbs can 22 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: hold the clipboard, go in in a pinch. He could 23 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: run into a burning building to save people. Like in 24 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: small doses, Josh Dobbs is your guy, but you can't 25 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: count on them to carry you for like half a season. 26 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 1: And it's just not He's just not there. But there's 27 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: not a lot of guys there who could do that 28 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: in the league. You know, the NFL is a weird 29 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: support because it's not global and as a result, like 30 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 1: you could say, there's basketball players around the world who 31 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: could step into the NBA and play right now they are, 32 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: they could come off the bench and do things at 33 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: NFL quarterback is such a unique position. There's probably not 34 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: twenty guys in the world who can play it regularly 35 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: at a high level. Right there's thirty two teams, there's 36 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: maybe fifteen really good quarterbacks, and then there's just a 37 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: lot of backups. Like Josh Dobbs is. He's a backup 38 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: and there's nothing wrong with it. You make a lot 39 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: of money. Chase Daniel made a ton of money being 40 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: a backup quarterback. In the league. But right now the 41 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: Vikings are somehow clinging to the seventh seed, half a 42 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: game above the Packers and Rams and Saints, who are 43 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: all half a game back at five and six. Seattle's 44 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: a sixth seed. They got Thursday Night football, Seattle Dallas. 45 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: That's gonna be interesting because we'll see what the situation 46 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: is with the running back, with the quarterback. Seattle's kind 47 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: of beat up. We know how Dallas rolls. Listen. I 48 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: don't want to jump to any conclusions, but this seems 49 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: like it could be one of those uh oh, Dallas 50 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: at home? Do they open a can on Seattle again? 51 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: NFC playoff pictures wild. We're not going to really talk 52 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: about the AFC because this is an NFC night, But 53 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: I think the big story for coming out of this 54 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,399 Speaker 1: game is Justin Fields. And it's weird because everybody's out 55 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: on him, like, wait till you hear Rob's thoughts here 56 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: shortly on. Rob is out on Justin Fields, and that's 57 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: I get it, you know. Listen, the guy's had a 58 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: few years now from that ill fated COVID quarterback class 59 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: with Zach Wilson and Mac Jones, and it's just all 60 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: all all all all bad except Trevor Lawrence. That being said, 61 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: I'm gonna spin this in a positive way for Fields, 62 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: even though I sat there. A former offensive coach of his, 63 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: you know, came in FS one and I said, hey, 64 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,679 Speaker 1: you were on the staff and I'm not going to 65 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: say the team with Fields, and what's he like? He's like, man, 66 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: the guy comes in first day, he's got his you know, 67 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: early morning meeting, comes in with his hoodie on, walks 68 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: in like one minute before the meeting starts. This is 69 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: QB QB one walks in one minute before the meeting starts, 70 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: hoodie on, like not and just slouched in his chair 71 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: like you know, like this is eleventh grade biology or something. 72 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: He doesn't want to be there, and he's like I 73 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: pulled him aside that meeting. I was like, dude, do 74 00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: you know what it takes to be a quarterback in 75 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: this league? Like you the leader of the team, you're 76 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: the face of the franchise. Come on, dude, get your 77 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: act together. And he's like from that moment, you were like, 78 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: is this guy serious about quarterback? And you even see 79 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: Fields as like a leader on the sideline, and like, again, 80 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: not everybody's the same I'm I'm like an emotional leader 81 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: on our basketball team. You know, listen, when you you 82 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: don't have all the skills that some of the other 83 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: guys on the team have, Hey, you gotta get in 84 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: where you fit in, right. So I'm like that raw 85 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: rock guy, come on, come on, lock down, let's go, 86 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: you know positive, Okay. I don't see Fields doing any 87 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: of that talking on the sideline. I don't know. Maybe 88 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: that's just that's who he is. He's just a chill, 89 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: laid back guy who doesn't get emotional. And that's fine, 90 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: Like they're never get too high and never get too low. 91 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: But I just wonder if he's going to be able 92 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: to be a starting quarterback anywhere in this league after 93 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: this season, because we know the Bears are drafting one 94 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: and they're taking a quarterback. Folks, that's happening. Okay. I 95 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: don't know which regime, this one or the next one 96 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: is going to be doing it, but they're taking a quarterback, 97 00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: and my guess is they will pedal Fields, you know what, 98 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: beigent cheap, undrafted, gonna be fine holding a clipboard. There's 99 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: gonna be no pressure from anybody. Hey, well, well, why 100 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: aren't you playing Beijing. That's not happening. Okay, let's see 101 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: what we can get for Fields. And then the question becomes, 102 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: does Justin Fields want to go compete for a starting spot, 103 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: which maybe, or does he want to go to a 104 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: good team and be a backup to a potential star. 105 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: And this is where it gets tricky, and this is 106 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: there's no right answer. But I have written down here 107 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 1: several spots where I think he could go compete for 108 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: the starting job, which is fine, but remember you're competing 109 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: for a starting job, meaning they don't have a quarterback 110 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,239 Speaker 1: you need. They're not a great team, so the coaching 111 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: staff is kind of influx. You don't know what you're getting. 112 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: Or you maybe go to a good team that's contending 113 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: and you sit behind a really good quarterback. And I'll 114 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 1: get started right here. So the Philadelphia Eagles have a 115 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: great quarterback in Jalen Hurts. He is cemented as their starter. 116 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: He he's their leader. He knows how to be a professional. 117 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: This guy walks in with the briefcase, you know, like, 118 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: and that's not stick. This is a leader, like. This 119 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: guy's the man they love him in Philadelphia. He's a 120 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 1: blue collar work ethic, smart, quarterback. He's been through hell 121 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 1: with the benching at Alabama and all happen to transfer. 122 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: Hurts is the guy you're telling me, Justin Fields goes 123 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: and sits behind Jalen Hurts, and Hurts runs a lot, 124 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: so he's gonna get dinged up. We know that. Is 125 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 1: that not a great setting for Justin Fields? And you know, 126 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: maybe you sit for a year maybe two, and be 127 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: a good soldier, go in and do what you got 128 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: to when it Hurts goes down, and then you parlay 129 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: that into something. I think that's a great spot for him. 130 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: You could look at a spot like Buffalo. Now obviously 131 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: I think they missed the playoffs and we'll see what 132 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: happens with the coaching staff. But you back up to 133 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: Josh Allen. I mean, Josh Allen's one of the good 134 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: great quarterbacks in this league. That being said, he runs 135 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: a lot, potential to get banged up. We think the 136 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: offense is really good. They've got skill position guys. But 137 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, I Philadelphia Philadelphia good. I think Buffalo 138 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: could also be in that good spot, that landing spot 139 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: for him. You got Arizona with Kyler Murray. Like Kyler 140 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: Murray coming off the injury, small h lible to get hurt. 141 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if that coaching staff is long for there. 142 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: We'll see Gannon's crew. This is only year one. He's 143 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: not gonna beat out Kyler, but I think he's a 144 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: good He could make a good backup in Arizona. Although 145 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: Kyler has some you know, work habits that I that 146 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: I've talked about here on the pod that I don't like. 147 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: But what's interesting is Fields has a pretty robust market 148 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: right now to go elsewhere and compete for the starting job. Okay, 149 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: to compete, let's start with the New York Giants. So 150 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor is a free agent. They even talked about 151 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: it today. I know, DAVIDO. He's a nice story. I 152 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: get it. Yeah, Davido. They like him. Blah blah blah. 153 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: Let's be real. He's not an NFL quarterback. Okay, he's 154 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: not Daniel Jones. Coming off the injury. You go into 155 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: camp with Daniel Jones and Justin Fields, and I don't 156 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: know that you have a quarterback battle, but it's certainly 157 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: kind of interesting. As bad as Jones has been, both 158 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: are running quarterbacks. S Dable had Allan, who was a 159 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: running quarterback. Daniel Jones had a good year last year 160 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: as a running quarterback with Dabele Justin Field's career resurrection 161 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: with a good offensive mind, I think that makes a 162 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: lot of sense New York Giants, if you want to 163 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: compete for a job, what about the Raiders? Now the 164 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: franchise is in flux. Antonio pier is going to get 165 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: the head job. I don't know aoc the guy. I 166 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: have no clue. He's looked kind of sharp at times, 167 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 1: but he could win that job. But Justin Fields at like, 168 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: what is he twenty five years old? Does he want 169 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: to go to Vegas? I just I don't know that 170 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: you're gonna resurrect anything there. We'll see. They may move 171 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: on from Devonte Adams and then it's like, holy hell, 172 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: who am I throwing to? What about New England? A 173 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 1: lot of TBD there with Belichick, we know Mac Jones 174 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 1: has run a course, Bailey Zappi hasn't shown much. We'll 175 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: see who the new coach is. Let's not get too 176 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 1: excited about potential go to probably drafting a quarterback high. 177 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: So maybe New England's out. But a lot of TBD 178 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: with the Patriots and rob Gie didn't like this one 179 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: as much as I did. But what about Seattle with 180 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: Gino Smith, he's sort of coming back to earth after 181 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: a really strong last year. He just he's not a 182 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: lot of turnovers. It's pretty clear Seattle fans realize, Okay, 183 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: you know, we thought we had something with him last year, 184 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: and that was that was clearly an outlier. That was 185 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: the best we're gonna get from him. Now he's, you know, 186 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: water finding its level. And the coach, Pete Carroll loves 187 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: Drew Locke for reasons that remain unexplained. At some point, 188 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: do they say, let's open this up, let's get Fields 189 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: in here. I mean, I don't. We'll see they had 190 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: some success if you remember some mild success with a 191 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: guy named Russell Wilson. I'm not saying Justin Fields is 192 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: in his class. Russell Russell will the total professional, consummate pro. 193 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: Fields isn't there yet, but maybe he could learn. DK 194 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: metcalf Lockett. They got a mature locker room. And I 195 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: guess the last one is Washington again, they're kind of 196 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: falling the boat of TBD With New England. I don't 197 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: know who the head coach is gonna be the enemy 198 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: get a crack Washington fans. Robb seemed to love Sam Howell. 199 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: You know, it's funny. The guy's played like what ten games, 200 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: twelve games, and they just they love the small sample size. 201 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: And okay, there's been some good things. Anybody can show flashes. 202 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: Hell justin fields looked pretty damn good on Monday Night football. 203 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: If you remove the fumbles the fourth quarter, the two 204 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: fourth quarter fumbles, you remove those, hey, you look good. 205 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: So again, that's like half more than half a dozen teams. 206 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: I didn't even mention Pittsburgh, Like, I know Kenny Pickett's 207 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: been okay, but guess what they dumped the OC. I 208 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: know the offense had a good four hundred yard game 209 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: against Cincinnati. We'll see how this plays out. But I 210 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: don't think Picket's on solid footing. He can't possibly be 211 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: on solid footing. And if anything, Rob what we've seen 212 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: this year in the league is the supreme importance of 213 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: having a capable backup quarterback. Okay, there's so many teams 214 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: that lost their starter. My New York Jets, how about 215 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,959 Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns with Deshaun Watson. Like, starting 216 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: quarterbacks are dropping like flies and the backups are not delivering. 217 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins goes down, Minnesota's hanging around, hanging around, you know, 218 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: past or not stringing stuff together. Listen, reality for the 219 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: Vikings are what's Monday night? So you need a good backup. 220 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: I would spend to get Fields, like, you're not gonna 221 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 1: get him, You're not. You don't have to pay like 222 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: a second round pick or anything. But you're telling me 223 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: the Bears wouldn't move off him for like a fourth, 224 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 1: a third and fifth something. I think you need a 225 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: capable backup, and I think Fields is more than capable. 226 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: To question Rob is does he want to be the 227 00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: guy competing for a job or is he cool being 228 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: a on a good team and a good culture with 229 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: good coaching.

I remember back on 250 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 2: this pod a couple months into the season, maybe a 251 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 2: couple of weeks actually, Justin Fields had back to back 252 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 2: games where through four touchdowns, and I remember you samle 253 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 2: was out for the Washington game. Is it out of 254 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 2: the realm of possibility that this team makes a playoff push? 255 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 2: Like you know, if he's throwing like this, you know 256 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 2: what could happen in that NFC North And I remember 257 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 2: telling you LEI, let's just pump the Brakes. You know, 258 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 2: he's been a fifty five percent ish passer, and these 259 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 2: are kind of outlier games. And I'm not saying to 260 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 2: take a victory of lot or anything like that, but 261 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 2: just anything that we've seen that's positive from him, even 262 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 2: going back to lastly and all the rushing yards that 263 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 2: he had that made it him such a fantasy football star, 264 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 2: none of it was consistent. It was two games here, 265 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 2: three games there, bad play, bad play, blad play, explosive play. 266 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 2: Like he has so much work he has to do, 267 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,719 Speaker 2: in my opinion to become a viable starting NFL quarterback. 268 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 2: I don't know how much of it is him to 269 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 2: your point, you know, maybe the attitude or whatever. I 270 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 2: don't know him like that, so I can't say for sure. 271 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 2: But one thing I can say is that he hasn't 272 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 2: received the best coaching in Chicago. The Matt Eberflus Ryan 273 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 2: Poles era has been an unmitigated disaster. It was their 274 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 2: first win last night. What was it in the AFC 275 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 2: North in thirteen tried or something like that. Like it's ridiculous, 276 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 2: and so what he needs number one is time and 277 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 2: number two is good coaching. Knowing him and a guy 278 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 2: like him. He's so young, and he was a high 279 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 2: draft pick for a reason. I'm sure he's gonna want 280 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 2: to go to a team like you mentioned, like my Raiders, 281 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 2: like the Giants, like Atlanta, whatever, a team where he 282 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 2: has a legitimate chance to earn the starting gig because 283 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 2: he is an uber talented player. But for his long 284 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 2: term success in the NFL, I think he'd be better 285 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 2: served going to a team that is a note that 286 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 2: number one has a quarterback in place, and number two 287 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 2: is coached by someone who's known for developing quarterbacks, which 288 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 2: is why Andy Reid and Kansas City makes a lot 289 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 2: of sense to me. I know that the Andy Reid 290 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 2: tree hasn't really worked out for justin fields. He might 291 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 2: get a glowing recommendation, but he may need to humble 292 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 2: himself so that he can have a long extended career. 293 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 2: Because just because you take a step back and accept 294 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 2: a backup role for a season or two, whatever it is, 295 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 2: doesn't mean you're going to be stuck there. Doesn't mean that, 296 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 2: as you mentioned, the starter might go down for a 297 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 2: game or two, or you know, god forbid the entire season, 298 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 2: and then you get a chance to show what you 299 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 2: can do and that's possible. He can showcase himself in 300 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 2: a big way in a certain situation, in a more 301 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 2: structured situation than he's in Chicago. And if I were 302 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 2: him again, you gotta be willing to take the step back, 303 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 2: go somewhere, recollect yourself, re establish your value around the NFL, 304 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 2: and then try to make the big step forward to 305 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 2: being an NFL starting quarterback. 306 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: But I like that. Let me ask you, Rob, I 307 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: had to look this up off the top of your head. 308 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: Do you know who the Chiefs backup is? Hint? He's 309 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: a former first round top fifteen guy. 310 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 2: Oh, it's not Chad Henny anymore. 311 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: Nope, I give up, blame Gabbert, Oh, Blaine Church wrong Pew. Yes, 312 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: so I had to look this up. He's thirty four 313 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: years old. So is I mean Dowd? He retires like 314 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: dude Anonymous holding a clipboard to collect these Super Bowl rings. 315 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. That's not a bad gig. So maybe 316 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: he continues. But yeah, so I don't know if read 317 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: would take him on. That's an interesting one, the question. 318 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 1: And this is only we We can't get into the 319 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,719 Speaker 1: head of fields to know. But like, okay, so his 320 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,159 Speaker 1: agent comes to him and says, hey, bro, but what 321 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: do you want to do? Do you want to compete 322 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: for a job in Pittsburgh or maybe the Giants or Tennessee, 323 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: or do you want to go be a backup? You know, 324 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: it's a tough sell to tell a guy who was 325 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 1: like top five all star, five star recruit, superstar at 326 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 1: Ohio State. Did he win in the Heisman? 327 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 2: I don't know. 328 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: He put up ridiculous numbers at Ohio State. He was 329 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: the number eleven pick of the Bears starting quarterback. All 330 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: of this in like the last six years. He turns 331 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: twenty five in March, and now you're gonna tell him, Yeah, dude, 332 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 1: why don't you go be a backup for a couple 333 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: of years? Like it just to turn it off, like, yes, 334 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: it makes sense, But I don't know many guys who 335 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: would do that. And there's the question like, Okay, if 336 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: I accept a backup role, am I going to get 337 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,880 Speaker 1: a shot at any point? To start? And you could 338 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: then point to Baker Mayfield and say, listen, Baker was 339 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: in Cleveland and that it flamed out, and it was like, oh, 340 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: where's Baker Mayfield gonna go? Like is he gonna get 341 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 1: any options? Is he going to be a starter. Is 342 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: he gonna hold a clipboard like Baker? Mayfield's not holding 343 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 1: a clipboard, Dude, that's nothing. That's He's not wired like that, 344 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: you know. And that's why I think Fields probably falls 345 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 1: into that. But I mean after Baker, after he left 346 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 1: the Browns, it was like, is he done? So he 347 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: goes to Carolina, gets his chance, went one and five, 348 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: Thank you for your time. Oh look the l a 349 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: Rams they had lost afford for the season. Can you 350 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 1: come in? One and three didn't show him, didn't prove anything. 351 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: And now he's Tampa starter and he's four and seven, 352 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,919 Speaker 1: but he's having you could say, the best season of 353 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: his career since that that rookie year where he put 354 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,880 Speaker 1: up some good numbers with the Browns. Like, I don't know, man, 355 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,479 Speaker 1: my gut tells I would advise him to do that. 356 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 1: But would I do that? You know? Like I'm thinking 357 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: back rob when I was coming out of college. You know, 358 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,400 Speaker 1: I grew up in Northern Virginia, outside DC, and then 359 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: I get a newspaper offer in New Jersey, and then 360 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:19,199 Speaker 1: I had a newspaper offer in like Bumbly, Michigan, and 361 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: then like nowhere Kentucky and it's like, okay, well you 362 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: can go be like you know, the Double a guy 363 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: at a big city newspaper covering like high school crap, 364 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,679 Speaker 1: not crap, but you know, high school sports. Or you 365 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: could go to nowhere, Michigan and then cover like slightly 366 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: better stuff, not like ann Arbor, Michigan. And the Kentucky 367 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 1: one was like kind of like forty five minutes outside 368 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: of UK and Louisville or one of those two schools. 369 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 1: This is like twenty years ago, and I instantly was like, 370 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: there's no way. What if I get stuck there? That 371 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: was one of my big fears, Like I'm not gonna 372 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 1: be able to meet any girls, and like, what's my 373 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: social life going to be? Like come on, it's gonna suck. 374 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:00,640 Speaker 1: You know, you're coming off college. You go down three 375 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: nights a week. None of my friends are coming to 376 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: visit me. And I think it was Bay City, Michigan, 377 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: and the day I traveled out there, it was like 378 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 1: all rainy and just crummy weather. I'm like, I'm not 379 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: moving here no way, you know. And I just wonder 380 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: if Fields is gonna be like hey man, hey, Patrick 381 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: Mahomes is nice to beat you bro, Yeah, I'm not 382 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: gonna play at all, but I get to be in 383 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: the room with Andy Reid and all this fun stuff 384 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: with Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce and oh look there's 385 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: Taylor Swift. Like I don't, my gut is it's going 386 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 1: to be a tough sell for twenty four year old 387 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 1: Fields to take a step back. So I think you're 388 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 1: probably right in that he would go and compete. So 389 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: of those which would you try to jump at if 390 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: you were Field or his agent? 391 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 2: Okay, of those situations, to me, there's two that stand 392 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 2: out as the clear preferred options, number one being the 393 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 2: New York Giants. Daniel Jones obviously is not the guy. 394 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,919 Speaker 2: I think that's pretty clear. I think half a season 395 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 2: of great football, not even great of solid football, does 396 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 2: not make you a franchise quarterback. I don't care what 397 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,880 Speaker 2: your salary says. And he's coming off an injury, and 398 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 2: the one thing that Daniel Jones had going for him, 399 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 2: the one thing he did actually do at a very 400 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 2: high level, was run the football. And if you're coming 401 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 2: off in acl, who knows how wal you be able 402 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 2: to run the football, especially in that first year back. 403 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 2: So he's gonna be able to get a chance early on, 404 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 2: especially to play basically non threatened for that role, because 405 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 2: I don't think Dan Jels will be ready for a 406 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 2: week one. So that's and then Brian day Ball for 407 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 2: you know, I know his star has dimmed a little 408 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 2: bit in the last year or so here and well 409 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 2: this season here with the New York Giants. He has 410 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 2: a reputation for being a great developer of quarterbacks. In 411 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 2: case of New point being Josh Allen. So that's number one, 412 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 2: and then number two to me would be the Raiders. 413 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 2: And it's not just because I wanted the Raiders to 414 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 2: draft justin Fields at the draft. You know, that's a 415 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 2: totally besides the point. It's that if you look at 416 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 2: the landscape of quarterbacks that might be available or that 417 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 2: might be incumbent starters, Aidan O'Connell would have to be 418 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 2: the guy that you would look at and say I 419 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 2: can beat him out. He's a fourth round rookie at 420 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 2: this point. He's shown some things with the Raiders so far, 421 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 2: but not enough to where you'd say he's definitely the starter. 422 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 2: Next season. You're gonna have a new coaching staff. There's 423 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 2: gonna be no allegiancy to Aidan O'Connell, and barring something 424 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,640 Speaker 2: completely unforeseen, you're gonna be walking into a situation where 425 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 2: they have talent on that roster Davante Adams. I don't 426 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 2: think it's going anywhere at least for another year, just 427 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 2: based on cap purposes. They have a young tight end 428 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 2: that they like Mayor at a Notre Dame. Hunter renfro 429 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 2: is a very good slot receiver. I don't think Josh 430 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 2: Jagobs will be there because I think he's gonna look 431 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 2: for to get paid somewhere else. But you know, you 432 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 2: have individual players on that team that should make them competitive. 433 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 2: I'm not saining they're gonna a good team, even a 434 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 2: playoff team, but they're not going to be a laughing 435 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,439 Speaker 2: stock type of organization. I don't think when you have 436 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 2: Max Crosby and Adam the guys like that. So you 437 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 2: can go to a situation like the Raiders and kind 438 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 2: of walk into six wins and that doesn't sound like 439 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 2: a lot. But if you're a Bears fan, I think 440 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 2: you'd probably give your left arm to be consistently winning 441 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 2: at least six games a season. So you know, those 442 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 2: are the two situations if on Fields if I would 443 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 2: assume that he would be looking at first and foremost. 444 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know a lot of people want to say Atlanta, 445 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: you know, because he played at Georgia. He started at Georgia, 446 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: they went to a high state. I don't know, man, 447 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: I think they send Heineke to a two year deal, 448 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: Ridd second round pick. I don't know that they're gonna 449 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: I mean, yes, Fields has more upside than those two guys, 450 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 1: but I don't necessarily think it's a slam dunk. They're 451 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 1: gonna run off a guy who might be started what 452 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: like Rittle will start like thirteen games in the playoff 453 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 1: game because sadly they're probably going to the playoffs. It's interesting, 454 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: there's hmm. I mean, I think Atlanta has the weapons. 455 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: I think it's a city that could be galvanized by 456 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: a running quarterback the way Vic was just totally dominant there. Yeah, 457 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: it's a bad division, so he could thrive. Hmm. What 458 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: about the Colts to back up Anthony Richardson? 459 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,199 Speaker 2: But that but I think, like I said, I think 460 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 2: Gardner Minshew was kind of entrenched there because he knows 461 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 2: the system. And I think that if you're gonna be 462 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 2: rolling the dice on a quarterback like I think Richard 463 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 2: and the upside, you want the backup to at least 464 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 2: kind of be steady, so I could see why they 465 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 2: wouldn't want another high risk, high of reward as a backup. 466 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: I would just I guess my last thing would be this, 467 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: this Kenny Pickett situation, like for some reason I like 468 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: him more than most. I can't really explain it. It 469 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,120 Speaker 1: looks like they're playoff bound with that schedule, but let's 470 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: see how Pickett does. Because I don't know. My guess 471 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: is Mike Tomlin will be open. You know, this will 472 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,679 Speaker 1: be what one one and a half years of pickets starting, 473 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: because I don't think he started. At the beginning of 474 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,880 Speaker 1: last things, it was so maserati Mitch. I do wonder 475 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 1: if they say, let's bring on Justin Field's. I don't 476 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 1: know the Pittsburgh I mean, they haven't had a lot 477 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,360 Speaker 1: of black quarterbacks, right Cordell Stewart like back in the day. 478 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if he'd fit weather wise with the running, 479 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 1: but I I something tells me Pittsburgh will get involved 480 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 1: with Justin Fields.

All right, I 504 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 1: quickly want to pivot to the big news that broke 505 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: in the NFL on Monday morning with at five Frank 506 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 1: Reich has been canned as head coach. One and done 507 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: didn't even survive to December. They waited until the Panthers 508 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 1: looked feeble, as usual they have all season. Against the 509 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, Bryce Young could not do anything as per usual, 510 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 1: and C. J. Strove was again in another shootout. They 511 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: ended up losing. Frank Reich gets fired. It should not 512 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: be a surprise. I've talked about it on this pod. 513 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: I talked about it a lot on the Herd like listen. 514 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: The way this owner has acted in recent months is 515 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: that he demands results, and he demands them fast, and 516 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 1: if he's not getting them, I don't care. I'm willing 517 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: to pay to get the right guy in there and 518 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: get the wrong guy out of there. So he thought 519 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,919 Speaker 1: the young kid from college was the right coach. His 520 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 1: name escapes me now, but he was from Baylor and 521 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 1: they got rid of him quickly, and now he brings 522 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 1: in an offensive minded guy. Remember his interim coach after 523 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: he fired the kid from Baylor was Wilkes, Steve Wilkes, 524 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: and it was like, you know, listen, Wilkes was a 525 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: defensive guy. They won, and I think he was six 526 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 1: and six Wilkes was and you know, they had the 527 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: chance to keep him, and there was some a movement 528 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,919 Speaker 1: in the locker room, like I think they liked what 529 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: he was doing, and I think the defensive players, the 530 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,919 Speaker 1: defense was strong. I think they respected him and they 531 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: kind of wanted him. And the owner said, you know what, 532 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 1: and it was totally understandable at the time. This is 533 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: an offensive league. I want an offensive minded head coach, 534 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 1: which is fine, Like I get that, and he settled 535 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: on Frank Reich, which you know, at the time it 536 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: felt like a good call. By the way, Matt Rule 537 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:32,239 Speaker 1: is the kid's name for Baylor there. 538 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 2: It is. 539 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 1: This is what happens when you get old, guys, You 540 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 1: just like it's on the tip of your tongue and 541 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: you can't remember it. Anyways, everybody liked the Reich higher right. 542 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: He was pretty good with the Colts with Philip Rivers, 543 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: less good with Carson Wentz, but still kind of good. 544 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: And it gets fired. You know, everybody thought, well, the 545 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: owner's kind of crazy, or say, maybe he'll settle in 546 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: Carolina he gets a quarterback. The problem with Frank Reich 547 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 1: was a the owner apparently pushed for Bryce Young. He 548 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: was the one who said, I want Young, I want 549 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: to trade up, Let's go get him. Raich. I'm not 550 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: saying Raich Wan and Stroud, but I you know, if 551 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: you look at Reich's history of the quarterbacks he wants, 552 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: they're usually big, huge arms, strapping dudes in the pocket. 553 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: That's what Reich likes to run his offense. Okay, whether 554 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: it's Carson Wentz, Philip Rivers, like you go down the 555 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: list of quarterbacks he's had, he said, bigger quarterbacks. The 556 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: move for Bryce Young was interesting. Bryce Young had a 557 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,959 Speaker 1: massive push from the media. The media loved him, They 558 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 1: had the Alabama machine behind him, and the owner fell 559 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: in love. When the owner makes the decision, the head 560 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: coach is just at his whim. And I'm not saying 561 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: that Reich didn't like the Young kid, but it clearly 562 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 1: wasn't a great fit. You could see early on Bryce 563 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: Young looks small, Bryce Young, who is escaping defenders in 564 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: the SEC and make an incredible place. All of a sudden, 565 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: Bryce Young ain't doing that in the NFL because guess what, everybody, 566 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 1: everybody is bigger, faster, and stronger. You know, you face 567 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: SEC teams and like, yeah, I'm sure several players on 568 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: every defense that Bryce Young face was going to the NFL. Well, 569 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: you know what every player he faces now is SEC's 570 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: caliber at this age, and Bryce Young is not escaping 571 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: like he used to. I mean they had, they had 572 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 1: to bring him out on the bush. Tush plays bush, 573 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: push play sorry, And it was as if like, oh, geez, 574 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: he's that small. They can't even do him on the 575 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: short yard. It's like, yikes, nobody ever thought of that. 576 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: I didn't hear that criticism once of Bryce Young in 577 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: the whole lead up, like oh, he's too small to 578 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: do the quarterback sneaks, And it was like, I don't know, man, listen, 579 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: if we go back and listen, you guys rest assured. 580 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: I was not like driving the Bryce Young bandwagon. I 581 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: was not in love with him. I thought yeah, they'll 582 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: probably take him. But there was a moment where I 583 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: thought it was gonna be Anthony Richardson. There's another moment 584 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: where it really looked like C. J. Stroud was the guy. 585 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: And I mean, we went through this with a bunch 586 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: of several players. Ultimately Reich ends up with Young, they 587 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: don't win, and now the owner is on his is 588 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: technically fourth coach. I guess you could say fifth, because 589 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: oh the hell you could say sixth, right. He had Rivera. 590 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: Then he moved on to Perry Fuel, who was the 591 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: introm coach four games, then hired Matt Ruhle, then went 592 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: to the introim coach of Steve Wolks, then went to 593 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 1: Frank Reich, and now the introim coach Chris Table or 594 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: whoever that is. And it's a weird situation because people 595 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: will look at me like he's too impetuous. He's never 596 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 1: gonna be an owner of these billionaires. All they want 597 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: to do is just fire people and fire people, and 598 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: he's gonna be paying coaches forever. And that might be true. 599 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: I will just speak from experience on a much smaller 600 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: level with the Mexican soccer team we own, Okay, ownership 601 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: sounds easy and awesome, no big deal, and anybody can 602 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: handle it. Again, as a minority owner, I will say 603 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 1: it is a massive challenge. Coaches will get in the 604 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: room with you, tell you exactly what you want to hear. 605 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: For instance, Mexican soccer, I've talked about this before. Oh, 606 00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,239 Speaker 1: you've got a lot of young talent. Yeah, we are 607 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: gonna play the young go for sure, I think this 608 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: guy could play here. We're gonna play from the back front. 609 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: We're gonna do this, that and the other. It's exactly 610 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: what you want to hear. They know what you want 611 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 1: to hear. They do the research on your team, read 612 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 1: the quotes in the media, they see you on the field, 613 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 1: and they have all these great ideas. Everybody can go 614 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 1: in a room and sell, sell, sell themselves in their ideas, 615 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 1: and then things get on the field and they get 616 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 1: interesting and it's like, oh, wait a minute, so we're 617 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: gonna play the young guys or are we not? And 618 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: all of a sudden the coach realizes, ooh, we start 619 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 1: out one in three and it's like, well, the young 620 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: guys aren't ready. I need to keep my job. I 621 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 1: don't want to get fired midseason. I've got to play 622 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: the veterans, even though the veterans aren't good. Who are 623 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: you gonna trust a nineteen year old or a twenty 624 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 1: eight year old who's been through a lot of battles. 625 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 1: The nineteen year old's got a lot of promise, he's 626 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 1: probably the future, but he's a young guy and you 627 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 1: can't really trust him in tons of big spots. And 628 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 1: it's like, then the coach is not doing what the 629 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: game plan was, Like, I'm sure Frank reichster in there 630 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: and said, oh, we're gonna run this, that and the other. 631 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 1: And then he gets Bryce Young under center and he's like, 632 00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: oh shit, we traded a wea DJ Morny. Yeah, uh 633 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: Adam Deeling, we got mingo. Shit, we don't have anything. 634 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: And then in the running back situation, they've go out 635 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: to get Miles Sanders and what a disaster. That's been 636 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 1: criminally overpaid. So now all of a sudden, you got ooh, 637 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: our receivers aren't there, tight ends are okay. Running back 638 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: situation is grim, and then the offensive line is not 639 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: holding up and you're like, what the hell do we have? 640 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: And then the defense gets injured, and then Frank Reich 641 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: is like treading water. And then he's getting called into 642 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 1: the owner's office and he's getting reamed out, and then 643 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: he's like, Okay, I'm gonna give up play calling, like 644 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: he's doing everything he can and ultimately, like the owner 645 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: is just like, you gotta get up out of here. Bro, 646 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 1: here's the real problem with the Carolina situation. And I 647 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: know nobody cares about Carolina, but I'm just big picture. Okay, 648 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: who's taking this job? Tell me who's going into a 649 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 1: situation where the quarterback has a massive, massive question, Like, 650 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: I don't know, is Bryce Young the dude? Can he 651 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: be the guy? He certainly doesn't look like it. He's small, CJ. 652 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: Stroud looks incredible, he's not elusive. Like what do we 653 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 1: have here in Bryce? I don't know? And then we 654 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: don't have a first round pick. They should have the 655 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 1: number one overall pick. Again, they don't have it because 656 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 1: they traded it to the Bears. So you can't immediately 657 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 1: go get him a massive weapon, right, and it's like, 658 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,319 Speaker 1: oh geez, all right, well we got money, we could 659 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 1: spend it free agency, and then you know the owner's 660 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 1: got to sign off on all these and then you 661 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 1: know it's like oh, okay. Will the owners sign off 662 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: on me going and trying to trade for Stephan Diggs? 663 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 1: If Stephan Diggs wants out of Buffalo and they missed 664 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 1: the playoffs, will the owners say, yeah, let's go out 665 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: and get Let's just say they can't get a J. Brown. 666 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 1: But let's say a J. Brown complains and you know, 667 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 1: he doesn't seem happy at times, and all of a sudden, 668 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:41,759 Speaker 1: they're like, woll you know what, we can't afford him. 669 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: Let's just go get it. Does AJ Brown want to go? 670 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 1: Is he going to be a good fit with Bryce 671 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,920 Speaker 1: Young who's a rookie quarterback? And yeah, you could pay 672 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:51,760 Speaker 1: a receiver. Let's go get T Higgins? Is T Higgins 673 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 1: gonna really want to sign in Carolina? Is he going 674 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 1: to get the catches and the targets and wins? Imagine 675 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: going from Cincinnati where you're contending every year now Carolina 676 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: and a crap team and a bad division, like this 677 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: is not an easy job to fill. They just don't 678 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:11,319 Speaker 1: have a ton of talent. It's just not there. And 679 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: then you factor in like the tough owner, like if 680 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: you're a veteran coach, I don't think you're taking the 681 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 1: job you got to be a young coach to take 682 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: the job. And if you're a young coach, like you 683 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 1: don't really have the gravitas to jump in. And I 684 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 1: don't know, man, you can't go in there call the 685 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 1: shots if you're say Eric b Enemy or Kellen Moore. 686 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 1: Although I don't see though, I don't know those guys 687 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 1: are gonna get a look. It's a really difficult job 688 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,279 Speaker 1: to fill when you don't have a lot of talent 689 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 1: on offense. I don't know, do you guys? Do you 690 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 1: trust the GM? Scott Fitter? I don't trading up for 691 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 1: Bryce Young now, he could probably pin that on the 692 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 1: owner if he wants, but uh, I don't know, Fitter, 693 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 1: like you cycle it through coaches gms, like what are 694 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 1: we doing here? I mean, the one thing you can 695 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,320 Speaker 1: do is try to get off defensive talent like J. C. 696 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,880 Speaker 1: Horn cannot stay healthy, but he's really good when he's healthy. 697 00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: You could have traded Brian Burns at the deadline. I 698 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,439 Speaker 1: don't I guess nobody's give you one. Like you got 699 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 1: to make some moves to get younger dudes and get 700 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: some draft picks, like they just don't have a lot 701 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 1: of talent in Carolina and folks, it just does not 702 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 1: look like a great job. Now, I did rant a 703 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 1: little bit about the Chargers and whether or not that's 704 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 1: a good job. Yes, you have Justin Herbert, but you 705 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,320 Speaker 1: look around the rest of that rot. I don't know 706 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 1: if Tallasco is gonna survive this. I mean that embarrassment 707 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: of Quentin Johnson getting benched and Zave Flowers just running 708 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,800 Speaker 1: circles around the Chargers like geez my GM miss badly. 709 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 1: Like it's getting late early in the NFL season, like 710 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,439 Speaker 1: teams are starting to look at other teams and other 711 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 1: draft picks and other quarterbacks and other situations will be like, yo, 712 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 1: what's going on over there? I'm telling you that Buffalo situation, 713 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 1: that's a damn good coaching gig with Josh Allen there. 714 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:49,959 Speaker 1: Now you got to rebuild the defense, and that's gonna 715 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 1: be tougher when your quarterback is paid like he's going 716 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 1: to But there, there's just so many fascinating things happening 717 00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,600 Speaker 1: in the NFL right now, And you know, I love 718 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 1: this team building stuff looking ahead, like right now there's 719 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,439 Speaker 1: some big stuff going on with our Mexican soccer team. 720 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,239 Speaker 1: And listen, as a minority owner. Obviously I can't pound 721 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,920 Speaker 1: the table. I'm not down in Aguas Calientis. But I 722 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,440 Speaker 1: do love listening and hearing and trying to get an 723 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 1: understanding of what we're doing. And you look at Frank 724 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 1: right and him getting fired in Carolina, Folks, go look 725 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 1: at the situation in Carolina. The fan base is outraged. 726 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,960 Speaker 1: The media is piling on, like right now, they're taking 727 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 1: some pr hits. Now. I know the owner's a billionaire, 728 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 1: he doesn't care. We'll figure it out, We'll fix it. 729 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,319 Speaker 1: It ain't that easy. And I'll quickly wrap up with 730 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 1: this Ryan Day situation just because I'm into the coaches 731 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,280 Speaker 1: and firings and irresponsible fans. I'm just this these Ohio 732 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 1: State fans, and I know someboddies who are Ojays State grads, 733 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,440 Speaker 1: and they're like, listen, I'm kind of over Ryan Day. 734 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 1: I said it. When the Notre Dame game happened. Day 735 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 1: called a horrible game. He did not look good at all, 736 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,839 Speaker 1: and he got lucky that the Iris screwed up there 737 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: or he would have been really on the hot seat. 738 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 1: He survived that game. He gave that passionate interview against 739 00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:01,759 Speaker 1: about us against the world, and then now You've got 740 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,239 Speaker 1: Day catching more heat because he lost to Michigan. Now 741 00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:09,360 Speaker 1: apparently he's probably, he's apparently he's gonna stay. There was 742 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,719 Speaker 1: some chatter about Texas A and M, and they filled 743 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,760 Speaker 1: that job with the guy from Duke. I just cannot 744 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,319 Speaker 1: imagine Ryan Day willingly saying I'm out of here. Yeah, 745 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave all these all Americans and this incredible 746 00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,719 Speaker 1: recruiting class and all this, I'm leaving. Why would he 747 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,359 Speaker 1: do that. He's not leaving, He's not trying to run 748 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 1: to another job because they're running him out. I just 749 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 1: find it hard to believe that they would try to 750 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: run him out. Okay, just remember Jim Harball lost to 751 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 1: Ohio State multiple times in a row. Michigan fans wanted 752 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 1: to run him out. They made him take a pay cut, 753 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 1: they pushed him and pushed him in. Hey, you know 754 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,320 Speaker 1: you're on your last straw here, Jim. And guess what happened. 755 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,879 Speaker 1: Jim Harball turned it around and Michigan is now going 756 00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,719 Speaker 1: to the playoff once again after they beat Iowa. Like, 757 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,239 Speaker 1: can we have a little bit of patience? I saw 758 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,960 Speaker 1: a record that Ryan Day is like forty one to 759 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:02,600 Speaker 1: three against the Big ten and the only team that 760 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,960 Speaker 1: he that's beaten him is is Michigan. All three losses 761 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,759 Speaker 1: are to Michigan, which is insanity that you're trying to 762 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 1: run out of coach who's been that good. I don't know. 763 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:13,960 Speaker 1: College football fans are crazy, and I do have my 764 00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 1: Ohio State buddies who are gonna reach out to me 765 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 1: after hearing this and be like, no, no, here's why, Okay, 766 00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,399 Speaker 1: I get it. Who you gonna get, who's better, who's 767 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:25,920 Speaker 1: out there? And just remember this, like Michigan's graduated, not graduating. 768 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 1: Michigan's gonna probably lose like fifteen to twenty players to 769 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 1: the draft, and I think Harwall's gone. You tell me 770 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: days not beating a rebuilding Michigan team next year. And 771 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,279 Speaker 1: the games at Ohio State with a quarterback who I 772 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 1: thought McCord showed well in the latter half of the game, Like, 773 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,720 Speaker 1: let's just pump the brakes, settle down, Ohio State fans, 774 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: take a deep breath and just be happy that you're 775 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,680 Speaker 1: in the mix every year in late November. And oh, 776 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:49,760 Speaker 1: by the way, with the twelve teams playoff playoff, Ohio 777 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,439 Speaker 1: State's a lock to make the playoff every single year. 778 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:52,839 Speaker 2: Every year. 779 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 1: All right, that's it for today. Back tomorrow. We'll talk 780 00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:57,480 Speaker 1: to you then, see you soon.
