All right, 13 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: So the Cincinnati Bengals are super Bowl bound. You know, 14 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,639 Speaker 1: it's interesting the knock on Mahomes when he came out 15 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: of college, and we've seen this for two extended periods 16 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: for Patrick Mahomes in the NFL, where he's got in 17 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: these six to seven game slumps where mechanically he's off, 18 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: he just sort of loses his mojoe. This was a 19 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: prime example of him losing it in a game. He 20 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: went from brilliant eighteen for twenty one in the first 21 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: half to off in the second half too incredibly tight. 22 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: In overtime, he really regressed, and for all the greatness 23 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 1: of Patrick Mahomes, he was outdueled by Burrow. He got tight, 24 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: Burrow got right, and there's your ball game. And that's 25 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: really something we've talked about over and over with Mahomes. 26 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: One of the reasons he didn't go number one, two, three, 27 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: or four and the Chiefs moved up to get him 28 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: was his mechanical issues, his footwork. He can be very 29 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: much an ad liver, and you got to get him right. 30 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: You got to coach him up. And we've seen multiple 31 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: times in his career. This year he had about a 32 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: seven game stretch where they were really struggling at home 33 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: to beat teams like the New York Giants. But I 34 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: thought in the second half he had open throws, He 35 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: gets reluctant, it gets in his head, and then an 36 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: overtime he almost threw a pick six. So you know, 37 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: when Patrick Mahomes came out and one is for Super Bowl, 38 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: I cautioned everybody. I said, you know, you understand, eventually 39 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to pay him. You're gonna lose coordinators. 40 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: It looks like the AFC has these emerging young star 41 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: quarterbacks and now you see it, Burrow outdueled him. Joe 42 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: cool Who I think? What is the stat He is 43 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 1: eight no In the eight biggest games of his career, 44 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. I did think there was something interesting. I'm 45 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: not sure how many of you noticed it. When Mixon 46 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: had that big run that set up the field goal 47 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: and he fell to the ground. He was never touched 48 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: and he got up and put the ball on the ground. 49 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: That's supposed to be a fumble. He was never touched. 50 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: Is that me or did nobody else see that? Be 51 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: that as it may, rest didn't catch it and the 52 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: Bengals win. I thought, once again, Mahomes Kansas City when 53 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: they are rolling, they have the best knockout punch, the 54 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: best home run hitters in the NFL, along with the 55 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. But both Buffalo and Kansas City this year 56 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: showed a propensity to get off their game and have 57 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: these jagged little spikes throughout the course of the season. 58 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: And we saw early in the year Mahomes struggled. Their 59 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: running game disappeared, and after that first half, I thought 60 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: Cincinnati was baked. But if this is not an advertisement 61 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: forget the quarterback, right, I don't know it is. What 62 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: was Zach Taylor's record six twenty five and one before Burrow. 63 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,119 Speaker 1: It's the worst offensive line in the playoffs. It's probably 64 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: was probably the worst overall roster in my opinion in 65 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: last week's Divisional round. Just get the quarterback, right. That's 66 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: why Josh McDaniels leaves New England and takes the Raiders job. 67 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: I mean, he's got Derek Carr, Derek Carson weapons, decent 68 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: protection you go in a lot of games in this league. 69 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: And as Brian Dabele took the New York Giants job 70 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: this week, my thought was, well, if the Mara family 71 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: makes him retain Daniel Jones, you know, in two or 72 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: three years, Brian Dabele's in trouble. So Burrell's just a 73 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: special player. He didn't have the biggest arm, he's not 74 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,679 Speaker 1: the most athletic scrambler of the football, but he plays 75 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: with a ton of confidence. Listen, we better stop doubting 76 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: the Bengals. I thought Kansas City was a better team. 77 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: I thought Buffalo was a better team. I think the 78 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: Rams have a better roster. I think I think San 79 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: Francisco's got a better overall roster, but the rules are 80 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: all in place now. I do worry about the Bengals 81 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: losing their tight end for the Super Bowl. They're starting 82 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: tight end. That is a concern. But I think this 83 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: one's on Mahomes. I think he was clearly and visibly off, 84 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: reluctant and tight in the second half and overtime, and 85 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: so this is part of his legacy now too. You know, 86 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: every quarterback over the course of time, Brady had bad Sundays, 87 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: Brady had bad playoff games. This was a really rough 88 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 1: look for Mahomes. Can't put it on Andy Reid. It 89 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: was a really rough, rough look for Patrick Mahomes to 90 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: be in the second half and overtime. I mean, you 91 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: could just tell you've watched in a football. I've watched 92 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: in a football in that red zone situation. He just 93 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: would not pull the trigger three different plays. I mean, 94 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: he just ran around. He was totally reluctant to spin 95 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 1: it and let it go. All right. My thoughts on 96 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: the Rams forty nine ers. First time in seven meetings, 97 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: the Rams beat the forty nine ers, and I felt 98 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: the same way I've seen every one of those Rams 99 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: Niner games, the last seven of which the Rams finally won. 100 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: I always think the Rams are the better team in 101 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: almost every matchup. They have the better playmakers, they have 102 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: more depth of talent, but it's that forty nine Ers 103 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: defense of front that blows up a lot of Sean 104 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: mcvay's running game, jet sweeps and his passing offense. You know, 105 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: my takeaway in this game is I think the Rams 106 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: are the better team. I picked them to win by 107 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: a field goal, and that's what they won by. But 108 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: San Francisco, there is a reason that the forty nine 109 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 1: Ers hold Sean McVay more than a touchdown under his 110 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: NFL average as a head coach, and it starts with 111 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: that defensive front. I think, in the end, the weakness 112 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: of the forty nine ers, and they will address this 113 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: in the draft and free agency is corner, and it's 114 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 1: now the strength of the Rams, you could argue as 115 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: their defensive front and their wide receiver talent. That's even 116 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: without Robert Woods. They're tight end talent. They've got depth. 117 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: Obj has been a great addition. Cooper Cup is virtually 118 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: unguardable Van Jefferson. They're only going to get better next 119 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 1: year as Woods comes back and a rookie from the 120 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: SEC they drafted. I don't know if Obj will be 121 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: back next year, just because too expensive and they have 122 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: depth of talent at wide receiver. But I feel the 123 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: right team got in. I mean, could you imagine if 124 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: the Niners beat their Rams, we had a Niners Bengals 125 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: Super Bowl? Can you imagine in November if you try 126 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: to argue that over a beer with buddies. Yeah, the 127 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: Bengals and Niners are going to make it. The Niners now, 128 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: I think, move off Jimmy Garoppolo. Give the reins to 129 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: Trey Lance. Give him every snap until the beginning of 130 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: next year. Garoppolo will fetch something on the market, probably 131 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: a second round pick. His injury history is going to 132 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: scare a lot of people off. But if you're the 133 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: Steelers or you know, a Washington, you can certainly do worse. 134 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: This Rams team is very clever. Matt Stafford answered all 135 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: the critics. He made a huge throw to Cooper Cup 136 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: to set up that field goal. When I look at 137 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: the Bengals and the Rams, I think you're going to 138 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: get a little bit of a shootout. The Rams defensive 139 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: front is going to have its way with the Bengals 140 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: offensive line, that's going to be broken down a lot 141 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: over the next two weeks. I think the Bengals offensive 142 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: line is going to have their hands tied with Aaron 143 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: Donald and On Miller and that group. So you know, 144 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan to me are the best 145 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: young coaches in the NFL. And McVay is going to 146 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: get some heat for burning those timeouts. But I think 147 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: what Sean mcvayh was doing is listen, if the refs 148 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: missed a fumble, I'm going to roll the dice on 149 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: this because we could get the ball at midfield. What 150 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: I don't want to have to do is beat the 151 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: Niners and drive seventy five or eighty five yards down 152 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: the field. So McVay trust Stafford, trusts his receivers, trusts 153 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: his skill people, trust his two mute offense. He's going 154 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: to burn those timeouts. He's going to use challenges if 155 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: he can catch a break and get a short field score. 156 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: That's what he was looking to do. Everybody on social 157 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: media is killing him, but you know his takeaway was, 158 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: I can't drive eighty five yards on this team. This 159 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: Niner defense literally shut us out in the fourth quarter 160 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: and overtime, you know, three weeks ago. So I was okay. 161 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: I understood what he was doing is he was trying 162 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: to make something happen with the Niners. They put to 163 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: under dress on virtually every snap. And I thought the 164 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 1: other thing, you know, Garoppolo's limited, but I think I 165 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: do think Jimmy's a starting quarterback in the NFL. The 166 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: Rams that are really good job to mostly shut down 167 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: the Niners running game, and that really limits their offense. 168 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: You're not going to win with shootouts with Garoppolo. That's 169 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: not really the way Kyle Shanahan coaches. So this game, 170 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: for a lot of reasons, played into the Niners style, 171 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: lower scoring. That's how they've been able to beat the Rams. 172 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: But it was just situational football. Matt Stafford, a couple 173 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: of big throws, ob J Cooper cup huge catches, and 174 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: they hit the field goal to win it. So it's 175 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: Rams and the Bengals and the Super Bowl. I would 176 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: guess the Rams will be about a field goal favorite 177 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: in that game. Something that I underestimated is the power 178 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: of coaching and the power of culture. You know, I 179 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: know both are important, but not only has OBJ been 180 00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: a crucial especially on third down, on big down for 181 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: the Rams. But it's been a seamless transition. He is 182 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: not a decoy. They are using him in big third downs, 183 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: red zone plays. There's a physicality to him. It looks 184 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: like he's actually gained a little weight. He's got his 185 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: hands back, he got a little bit of what golfers 186 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: called the yips. He started dropping passes in Cleveland, and 187 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: it just wasn't a good fit from day one. It 188 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: wasn't you knew it. I know it. Browns fans privately 189 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: knew it, didn't want to admit it. But he has 190 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: worked so well and so quickly and so seamlessly with 191 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: the Rams. And I think a lot of this is 192 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: he worked well with Eli Manning, a veteran. He works 193 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: well with Matt Stafford, a veteran. OBJ is too big 194 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: of a presence to put him with a very young quarterback. 195 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: Young quarterbacks often feel forced to get the ball to 196 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: a star marquee receiver. Dak Prescott with Dez Bryant felt forced, 197 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: and it was a better quarterback when he spreads it around. 198 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: I think Baker Mayfield's a better quarterback and he spreads 199 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 1: it around, so OBJ has really worked in Los Angeles. 200 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: Von Miller has been better than I suspected. And again, 201 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: when you play around really good players and other stars, 202 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: there's no pressure. There's kind of a let it rip attitude. 203 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: With the Rams, nobody's bigger than the franchise. You know, 204 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald is like the Tim Duncan of the NBA, 205 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: the hardest working guy, the greatest player, with virtually no ego, 206 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: so he keeps everybody else in line. And when you're 207 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: best player, you know that that was a New England 208 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: Patriots Tom Brady feel your best player was your hardest 209 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: working and had really no outwardly obvious ego. So if 210 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: you're a number two receiver, you don't get one either, 211 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 1: And I feel that with Aaron Donald that's kind of 212 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: the culture. Like McVay didn't have a big ego, Aaron 213 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: Donald doesn't have a big ego. Cooper Cup doesn't have 214 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: a big ego. So it would be ill fitting an 215 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: odd if Von Miller ob j came into the Rams 216 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: and you know, made demands. Not that they would, but 217 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: that's the benefit of your best player being chill, of 218 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: your best player like Aaron Donald being a complete and 219 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: utter professional that everybody falls in line. All right, let's 220 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: bring in Robert Griffin, the third, the former offensive rookie 221 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: of the Year for the Washington football team. He has 222 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: played backup to Lamar Jackson. Now he's into broadcasting for ESPN. 223 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: He's kind enough to join us and give us his 224 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: thoughts on this weekend. Two more great football games. By 225 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: the way, the last six NFL games play gut wrenching. 226 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about any other leagues in America. 227 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: The NFL has so pulled away from every other sport 228 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: in America. When's the last bad football game? You saw? 229 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: What's got? Like three weeks ago. When's the last game 230 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: that wasn't hurt stopping in the NFL? It's like three 231 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: weeks ago, Robert, I want to start. I'm gonna defended 232 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 1: Sean McVay burning timeouts on the challenge. I'm gonna throw 233 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: you my theory on it, and you tell me if 234 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: I'm wrong. Is that when you're facing the Niners, you 235 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: face him twice a year, their defensive line, you're not 236 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: driving the field eighty yards on that defensive front. And 237 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: Sean knows it, and he's thinking to himself, I trust Stafford. 238 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: I trust I have good wide receiver matchups against their corners. 239 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,959 Speaker 1: What I can't do is drive eighty five yards down 240 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: the field and score on this defense. I faced him 241 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: six times. Now I'm oh and six. So he sees 242 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: an opportunity for a challenge because a ref in Mayhem 243 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 1: may have missed it, and he's like, if I got 244 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: a short field, I'm gonna roll the dice. Everybody killed 245 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: him on social media and I'm like, no, I saw 246 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: what he was trying to do. So that's my theory 247 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: on him thinking, hey, I'm going to roll the dice 248 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,719 Speaker 1: on this challenge. I trust Stafford with two minutes a 249 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: note time out. He's a grown up, right. Your thoughts, well, 250 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: I mean, they gave up so many first round picks 251 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: for Stafford right for him to trust him in that situation. 252 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: But I do think that McVay if you watch him 253 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: after the forty nine ers went up seventeen to seven, 254 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: he kind of had a look on his face that 255 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: was a little concerning, like like, oh my goodness, here 256 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: we go again. So yeah, so when I saw him, 257 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: you know that look on his face in those moments 258 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: when he's burning through the challenges and he's burning, burning 259 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: through his timeouts. I really think he's just throwing everything 260 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: at the wall, trying to figure out something to get 261 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: the momentum back on his team's side. And believe it 262 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: or not, as that everybody was killing him on social 263 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: media during that challenge, it also gave his team a 264 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: time to regroup right, think about what they're going to 265 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: do next, calm themselves down. And I think I listened 266 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: to him when he was talking in the post game 267 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: and he said, you know, shout out to the players, 268 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: because he's a coach that knows it's a he's a 269 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: boy genius. We all know this. He's a very talented 270 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: play caller, very season game very well, but he can't 271 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: do without as players. That's why they gave up so 272 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: many draft picks since twenty eighteen, right six first round 273 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: picks since two eighteen, because he wants to go get 274 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: guys that he know can make plays for him. So 275 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: he does trust the quarterback that they took from Detroit 276 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: Stafford to go out there with no time outs and 277 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: lead them down the field to a victory. So he's 278 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: not really as worried about it. But if they didn't 279 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: get the victory, he undoubtedly would have been questioned by everybody. 280 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting. They've got a lot of there's 281 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: It's obviously I underestimated the culture. M obj's a veteran, 282 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald's a veteran. Von Miller's a veteran. UM. I 283 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: think he likes older players now that the fourteen to 284 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: their twenty two starters are drafted, so it's not it's 285 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: not all old guys, but Robert he's a really smart 286 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: guy and that system. Andrew Whitworth is the oldest tackle. 287 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: I think I think he like I think he goes 288 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: to less sneed and he's like, listen, man, this system 289 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: it's it's not for kids, right, Like that's how I 290 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: feel like he's getting in less sneeds ere and like, 291 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: I'll take von Miller. You could have the draft picks, 292 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: all right. No, No, I think you're you're dead on there. 293 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: And I really wanted to hit that day because you know, 294 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: I was coached by Sean McBay. He was tied in 295 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: coach when it was in Washington, initially in twenty twelve 296 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: and then became the OC. Yeah, I feel like Sean 297 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: McBay is a guy that leans on the coaching or 298 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: the things he's learned from his mentor. And I'm not 299 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: talking about Mike Shanahan or Kyle Shanahan or Jay Gruden. 300 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: I'm talking about John grud And I know he's a 301 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: little a little taboo to mention him, you know, right 302 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: about now. But John was a guy that also didn't 303 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: truly develop talent, right. He liked older guys, guys that 304 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: knew how to play. And he would take established guys 305 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: that maybe a little older, like a Derek Brooks or 306 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: guys like Stafford who still have some time on their 307 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: career to play, and he would work with those guys 308 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: because he knew they knew how to win. Now, in 309 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: Stafford situation, he wasn't winning a lot, but he was 310 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: very talented. So I feel like they bring in von 311 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: Miller on the trade, that they bring in OBJ on 312 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: a trade, and he's going to Snead and telling him, 313 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: I know, we have to develop talent because that's going 314 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: to help our program for the long term. But in 315 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: the short term, we need to win so that we 316 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: can get these contract extensions and get the excitement going 317 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: in LA. And what better way to do that than 318 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 1: to bring in these big time players who are already 319 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 1: proven now, I tweeted out during the game, OBJ nine 320 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: catches one hundred and thirteen yards on eleven targets, but 321 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 1: everybody before was saying he was washed. But that's not 322 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: the point. The fact that OBJ is doing so well 323 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 1: is a testament to McVeigh and his staff. But it's 324 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: also a testament that if you get talented players in 325 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: his system, they will excel, especially when you have guys 326 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,360 Speaker 1: like OBJ, who's a generational type talent in my opinion. 327 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: FanDuel Sports Book is an official sports betting partner of 328 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty six, so to celebrate new customers can 329 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 1: bet five dollars to win two hundred and eighty dollars 330 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: in cash on either team to win.

Obviously, you don't move 354 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: up for Trey Lance unless you want to play him, 355 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: and he and Jimmy are really two different players. I mean, 356 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 1: Trey is a bigger stronger, more athletic kid. I don't 357 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: think he has a very refined release, yet they have 358 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 1: to work on him. And my takeaway is one of 359 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 1: the hardest things to do in the NFL for a coach, 360 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: ask Matt Naggie is balance veteran and young guy. And 361 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: I have always been one of these. I like what 362 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: the Chiefs did with Mahomes, I like, I like the veteran. 363 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 1: I mean, what you did is rare. You had a 364 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: veteran coach, you had a running game. It's and you 365 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,719 Speaker 1: know that roster was offensively was okay. Most of the 366 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: times you rookie quarterbacks get that you know what kicked 367 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: out of you. And so I mean so so with 368 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: Trey Lance. With Garoppolo, I think I think you have 369 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: to kind of move him out of town because I 370 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: want I want Tray to get every snap in camp, 371 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: every snap, because I think his delivery Robert, it's not refined. 372 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: It's not easy. He doesn't throw the ball like a burrow, 373 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: and they need to work on it. So I think 374 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 1: I would move Garoppolo despite his success. Your thoughts, yeah 375 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: I said it during the game, or say at the 376 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,919 Speaker 1: end of the game. You know the game ended on 377 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 1: a Jimmy garoppolo interception. However you want to look at that, right, 378 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: it was tipped up by the wide out into the 379 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: dv's hands, But it's a Jimmy garoppolo interception on the 380 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: stat sheet, and likely his career most likely is going 381 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: to end on that interception with the forty nine ers, 382 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: and it should. I think Jimmy G and Trey Lance 383 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 1: woul Jimmy G you know what you're gonna get, right, 384 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,199 Speaker 1: Kyle trust his trust him in those situations at the 385 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: end of the game to maybe lead you down the 386 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: field or help you win a game twenty to seventeen. 387 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 1: But with Trey Lance, the things that Jimmy couldn't do 388 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: there at the end of that game, when the packet 389 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: the pocket collapsed right and the off schedule plays, that's 390 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 1: what Trey Lance can do simply because he's talented in 391 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: that way. Jimmy's been through a couple of injuries, and 392 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: as you've noticed over the course of his career, he 393 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: doesn't run quite as much. He's not as confident while 394 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: he's running. But when he was in college, he wasn't 395 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, right, but he was He could run and 396 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: he could do some things. So when you talk about 397 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: Trey Lance and Jimmy g in my opinion, we don't 398 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: know how Trey Lance throws the ball in game situations 399 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: for an extented period of time. But you're right he 400 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: does need to get all the reps because every single 401 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: rep that he's gonna get in the off seae is 402 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 1: gonna help him get much much better. And you're also 403 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: right that when you talk about rookie quarterbacks, I mean, 404 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 1: look at our guy over there with the Jets, Zach Wilson. 405 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: Look at the Jags with Trevor Lawrence. They just got 406 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,439 Speaker 1: beat up a lot. And when we're in Washington, you know, 407 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: we kind of took a system and used the parts 408 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,360 Speaker 1: that we had to make it work. I look at 409 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: Pierre Garson, right, he was my number one guy. We 410 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: missed him for much of that my rookie year, but 411 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: he was kind of like Deebo Samuel. We just didn't 412 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: use him in the running game the way that Kyle 413 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 1: is using Debo. But Pierre, I mean, if he caught 414 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: the ball, he was a load to handle. And we 415 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: had other pieces. You know, we had Leonard Hankerson who 416 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: was a big slot receiver. We had an older Santana 417 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 1: Moss who can make plays for us. And I just 418 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: feel like with Kyle, he's gonna find a way schematically 419 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 1: to get his guys in the best position to be successful. 420 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 1: But when you have Jimmy G there and he's already 421 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: led you to a super Bowl, you're not going to 422 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 1: replace him with Trey Lance. So I agree with you, 423 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: Trey Lance should be the guy that draped him in 424 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: the first round. You got to get Jimmy g out 425 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 1: of there because one the team loves the guy, right, 426 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 1: they just absolutely play their hearts out for him, and too, 427 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 1: Trey Lance is your future. So you gotta go ahead. 428 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: You've already put all your books on that shelf. You 429 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 1: gotta start reading, Okay, So let's pivot to the first game. 430 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: So you know, I talked about this when Patrick Mahomes 431 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 1: came out of college. The knock on him was mechanically. 432 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,360 Speaker 1: He was a lot of work and he didn't have 433 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:07,880 Speaker 1: a he didn't have a repetitive nature. Every throw looked different, 434 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: the ankles, his feet, and I can remember reading scouting 435 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: reports saying, you know, he's great, but man, you're gonna 436 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 1: have to stay on him. And we've seen a couple 437 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: of times Robert in his career, he goes into these 438 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:24,120 Speaker 1: five and six game, I would say mechanical slumps where 439 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 1: he gets he gets I don't. It's not a criticism. 440 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: It's a golfer who needs a weekend with his coach. 441 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: And I felt like, for whatever reasons, in the second 442 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: half Robert, I felt he got the yips. He just 443 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: did not throw with confidence. Did you see it? Yeah, 444 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 1: I mean, let's talk about the first self, right, he 445 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: goes twelve or thirteen versus two high safeties. Everyone's talking 446 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 1: about it. You know how they struggled earlier in the 447 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,479 Speaker 1: year with being patient, and I mean he was beyond 448 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,120 Speaker 1: patient in the first half right going through his progression. 449 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: It's going checkdowns. They got Tyree keel involved, They got 450 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey involved early. Jerry McKinnon looked like an all 451 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: star there in the first half as well. So I 452 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: think in the second half it was a number of things. 453 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: Third down, they weren't playing very well on third downs 454 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 1: Throughout the whole year. They've been the best team in football. 455 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,120 Speaker 1: So when you get to third and six, third and five, 456 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: third and seven, and now you're not converting, well, now 457 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: you're kicking the ball, you're punting the ball, and you're 458 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 1: putting your defense on the field for exuberant amounts of time. 459 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: And you're giving Joe Burrow, a guy that I mean, 460 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: I know you and other people have said is the 461 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: next or better than Tom Brady at least at this 462 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: point in his career. You're giving him more opportunities to 463 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: get going. So what you see from Burrow, Burrow starts 464 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: running the ball, he starts being Houdini in the pocket. 465 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 1: And I think that put a lot of pressure on 466 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. And Uncle Moe, as you know, is very fickle, right, 467 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: Uncle Mo's very fickle. He's not loyal to anybody. And 468 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 1: that momentum got on the Bengal side and I just 469 00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,679 Speaker 1: felt like the Chiefs could never get it back. It 470 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: was interception here, a penalty there, sacks they had to think. 471 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 1: The Bengals had four sacks in the game, but they 472 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: were all at crucial times in the game. So I 473 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: don't know if Mahomes necessarily got the yips. I just 474 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:17,439 Speaker 1: feel like they relaxed just a little bit, just a 475 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: little bit, they relaxed, and they were trying to hit 476 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: that home run take him out the game. Type play, 477 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 1: and because of that they allowed the Bengals to creep 478 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,679 Speaker 1: back into it. Burrow is such what I would call 479 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: an easy thrower. It's just it looks when he came 480 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: out and people compared it to Brady, I said, he 481 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: reminds me of Tony Romo. Actually is that they were 482 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: the same number. They move around, they're kind of elusive. 483 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,880 Speaker 1: They often duck under pressure. Not a huge arm, good 484 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: enough mobile. Not Josh Allen. He's obviously he's I think 485 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 1: he's a more consistently accurate thrower than Romo. But when 486 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 1: you watch him, you know what's so hard about this 487 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:02,880 Speaker 1: game is Robert there is an it thing. Yeah, I mean, 488 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: you know it's and there's something about Joe. He just 489 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 1: it's almost like he plays with urgency at certain times. 490 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: His body language is really he's upright, Um, I don't 491 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: know when when I watch him, I'm like, I can't 492 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 1: describe it, but there's a there's a there's a sense 493 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,679 Speaker 1: of there's an urgency to him where he gets really 494 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,919 Speaker 1: smart and really accurate at the right times, like he 495 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 1: knows he's a letter rip guy. He will throw interceptions 496 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, there's three minutes left, 497 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: and he doesn't throw interceptions like right, It's like the 498 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 1: temperature room changes. Now. I'm which I like Joey b 499 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: Joey Burr, whatever you want to call him, Joe Cool, 500 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: I don't care. The kid's story is incredible resilience, right, 501 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: transferred from a house stag going to LSU doing all that. 502 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,239 Speaker 1: I just look at Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase, right, 503 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: just those two guys, because I feel like that's a 504 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: key cog for them. You know, you got T Higgins 505 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: and Tyler Boyd and mixing and Uzamba being out. I 506 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 1: don't know how long it will be out, but that'll 507 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 1: be that'll hurt them at at the tight end position. 508 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 1: But I look at those two guys and they're just young. 509 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: They're young and dumb. They don't know what they don't know. 510 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,479 Speaker 1: So I watched Jill Burrow, not on the Houdini scramble 511 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: where he put the ball out for the first down, 512 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,120 Speaker 1: on the next one where when he ran for fourteen 513 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 1: yards down the middle of field kind of had like 514 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 1: the little awkward slide. And we both know I know 515 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 1: a little bit about awkward slides. Right, So Joe Burrow 516 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: in that moment like he got up and he kind 517 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: of like shrugged his shoulders off, and I'm like, man, 518 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 1: like this guy in these moments, you don't want him 519 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: to be driving down the field with a chance to 520 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: win the game if you're the opposing team, because he 521 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 1: does have ice in his veins. And you hear all 522 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 1: these cliches, but what you said before that it factor, right, 523 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: he just has it in those moments. He knows he 524 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: can get the job done, and he's blessed with the 525 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 1: skill set that is different than tom Brady's. Right. Everyone 526 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,679 Speaker 1: wants to talk about the cerebral side and the killer 527 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 1: instinct of Tom Brady, but Tom Rady doesn't run and 528 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: can't run like Joe Burrow can. And I've always felt 529 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,880 Speaker 1: like Burrows an underrated runner. When it comes to those situations. 530 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 1: You can't just play two man against the guy because 531 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: he can pull it down and he can go get 532 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 1: you fourteen fifteen yards on a scramble. So in those moments, 533 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: I just look at Burrow and I'm like, there's probably 534 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: nobody I'd rather have at this point, even over Stafford, 535 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 1: who's going to be he'll be playing against in the 536 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. The Rams have to blow the Bengals out. 537 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: If they don't blow them out, I think the Bengals 538 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: go in the Super Bowl. Yeah, it's my gut feeling. 539 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: I haven't seen the line. It'll be a field goal game. 540 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: The Rams make enough mistakes to keep a young team 541 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: in it. You know, I said something when the playoffs started. 542 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: I said, it's hard to win a World Series with 543 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: a bad bullpen. It's almost impossible to find it. It's 544 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: hard to win a Super Bowl with a suboptimal old line. 545 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,719 Speaker 1: It's the Bengals old line is just not It leaks, 546 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 1: it's not great. And I do think Von Millner, Aaron Donald, 547 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:05,959 Speaker 1: that group is going to be a handful for So 548 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: I feel like Los Angeles will have an opportunity to 549 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: control the line of scrimmage. That doesn't again, so did Tennessee. Yeah, 550 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: it didn't matter. But there's a difference between Tannehill and 551 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: Stafford and just the ceiling of it. So I like 552 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: the Rams, but you know, they make one of the 553 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 1: you know, they make enough mistakes, Robert, they keep you 554 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: in it. Again, I'm with you. Yeah, And like early 555 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: in the game, the first game early in the day, 556 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: which I thought was a much more exciting game, bigger comeback, 557 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: more players were that were going on. It was it 558 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: was a more exciting game. But in that game, you 559 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 1: had to feeling like, man, the Chiefs are about to 560 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: blow them out, Like it's going to be forty five 561 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: to twenty when this thing is all said and done. 562 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: And then the Bengals defense did what they did the 563 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 1: first time they played against the Chiefs and they shut 564 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: them down in the second half. Right, we can talk 565 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: about Mahomes and maybe some of the decision making, and 566 00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 1: we can talk about the time out that they gave 567 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: up before they challenge the play. Even though they won 568 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: the challenge, they still lost the time out, which then 569 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: hurt them before the half, getting at least three points 570 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: when my Homes threw the ball outside the end zone 571 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 1: to Tyreek Hill. But when you look at that game, 572 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: and it just makes me think, like the Bengals are 573 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: a resilient group. I think they are outnumbered and outmanned 574 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 1: at certain positions, especially along the offensive line. And now 575 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 1: you got them going against Von Miller, Aaron Donald, Floyd, 576 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: you know, all these different guys while Eric Weddle tries 577 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: to win a Super Bowl, which is just incredible to me, Right, 578 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: just sits out the whole year. Now he's a starting 579 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: safety in the Super Bowl. But I think that you're 580 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: right from the standpoint that the Rams do make a 581 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: lot of mistakes that keep teams in the game, and 582 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: I do feel like they have to go the Bengals 583 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 1: out otherwise it'll go away. They don't want it to 584 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: go because a Bengals defense and the defensive coordinator they're 585 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: doing a great job in these second halves of shutting 586 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: teams down and really creating turnovers. Jesse Bates getting that 587 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 1: tip on Tyreek. Yes, for Von Bell to catch that 588 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 1: interception was textbook right. You can't catch the pick there. 589 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: Get your hand on the ball. Bond Bill makes a 590 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: big play in a big moment. I said, it was 591 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: basically a punt and then they just needed twenty or 592 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 1: so odd yards to get to get in you know 593 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: range to win the game. So I think this Bengals team, 594 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: you know, don't don't count them out. But if the 595 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 1: Rams go out there and make a bunch of mistakes, 596 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: I'd rather have Joe Burrow than Max Stafford at the 597 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: end of the game. Wow. Yeah, I want to ask 598 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: you one question not aligned with the championship Weekend is Um. 599 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 1: I joked about it the other day on the air. 600 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: I called it the green Bay Packer quarterback syndrome. So 601 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: Farve and Aaron Rodgers are totally different guys. One's the 602 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: small town Southerner, one's the hipster from California, and yet 603 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 1: they become the same guy retirement threatening, like really like 604 00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: like high maintenance, um kind of play the victim. And 605 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 1: I said last week, I'm going to call it the 606 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 1: Packer quarterback syndrome. That it's not a very good division. 607 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: You tend to be the most high profile player in 608 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: that division, obviously the town of green Bay. The expectations 609 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: are high. It's a formidable brand. It's an easy sort 610 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: of Middle America brand or route for people that don't 611 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: live in Wisconsin. You know, the Packers are little engine 612 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: that could. And when you have playoff disappointments Farban Rogers, 613 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 1: you do feel like you don't get a full deck 614 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: of cards. Everybody else gets fifty two. You don't have 615 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: your kings and your jacks and your Queen's right. You 616 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: don't have an owner. You can't go bang on your 617 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 1: owner like Less Snead and Sean mcvad did to get Stafford. 618 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: You don't have that. You don't have free agents. Most 619 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: dudes don't want to play in Green Bay, and so 620 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: what happens is in the NFL, unfortunately you can be 621 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 1: franchise tagged. You're trapped, and so Farban Rodgers get into 622 00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: this sort of like, man, I'm getting beat up here. 623 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 1: I know I'm good and I just want an owner 624 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 1: and I want a free agent market now, right. But 625 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: they have they share some similarities, and I feel like 626 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: for Aaron, green Bay's it's a wonderful thing. But I 627 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: do feel like the stories played out, I do feel 628 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: like Aaron needs an owner. Aaron needs Denver, like I 629 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 1: really do. Like I have sympathy for Aaron, I think, 630 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 1: and I had it for far like green Bay looks 631 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: like a kind of in the modern day football, it 632 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: kind of wears a star quarterback out a little, right, 633 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 1: do you sense that? I see where you're going with it. 634 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna I'm gonna tie it back into the 635 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 1: games that we just watched. Okay, So Aaron Rodgers has 636 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: Davante Adams arguably best receiver and all the football. I mean, 637 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 1: you could you could throw some other guys out there. 638 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 1: One guy you could throw out. There is Jamar Chase, 639 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 1: who didn't have the greatest game today. Te Higgins obviously 640 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 1: had a hundred yards receiven played great for the Bengals. 641 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: But a guy like Davanta Adams and a guy like 642 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, they're what I call HBO type players, right, 643 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: they help a brother out. So when Joe Burrow throws 644 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 1: the touchdown to Jamar Chase, the previous play he threw 645 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,719 Speaker 1: a similar pass. It was terrible, right the touchdown that 646 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 1: he had, the back shoulder slash jump ball that really 647 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 1: wasn't a great throw either. Jamar Chase made it work right, 648 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,239 Speaker 1: And I think Aaron needs more of those guys. He 649 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 1: stood on the table to get Randall Cobb back to 650 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 1: Green Bay, right. Everyone talked about it how he demanded 651 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: a certain amount of things in order to come back 652 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: and play and not go host Jeopardy. So you're talking 653 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: about the difference between our Randall Cobb, who in his 654 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: prime unbelievable player, and the Jamar Chase right now, who 655 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 1: is also arguably the best receiver in all of the NFL. 656 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 1: I think when you look at Green Bay, if Rogers 657 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: gets the say to say, look, I want that guy 658 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 1: I want that guy. I want you to draft that guy. 659 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 1: And they don't draft another dB for the fourth straight 660 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 1: year in the first round. I think he I may 661 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 1: be a little happier. You know, Joe Burrow won a 662 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 1: national championship with Jamar Chase. You're telling me they didn't 663 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 1: go to him and say, hey, do you want this guy? 664 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: Can you win with this guy? One thousand percent they did, 665 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 1: but they didn't present it that way. You know, they 666 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 1: didn't say Joe Burrow drafted Jamar Chase, But I'm more 667 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: than sure they got him on the phone and said, listen, 668 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna get your guy. We're gonna bring him in here. 669 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 1: Because at the end of the day, at the end 670 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 1: of games, who is who is Joe Burrow looking for? 671 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 1: He's looking for Jamar Chase. That's why he threw that 672 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 1: interception to what is Lagaris need? Laris need when he 673 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 1: undercut the bench route. But over the course of the season, 674 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase puts up all these crazy numbers. He makes 675 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow's life easier, and Aaron doesn't have enough of 676 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,319 Speaker 1: those guys. And I think it's also a little bit 677 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,320 Speaker 1: about the floor. Who is my quarterback coach? In Washington 678 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 1: and the system that he runs, it's more similar to 679 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 1: Kyle's than it is to mcvays. And because of that, 680 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,439 Speaker 1: you get in these games where you throw the ball 681 00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:01,120 Speaker 1: twenty four times and if everything's going and great, you 682 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,799 Speaker 1: kill it right, you throw four touchdowns the games over, 683 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,760 Speaker 1: you win by fourteen. But if everything is not great, 684 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 1: then at the end of the game, now you're having 685 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,280 Speaker 1: to come back from behind when you really haven't gotten 686 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 1: a chance to get in that much of a rhythm 687 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:15,839 Speaker 1: throughout the game. So I think there's a lot of 688 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 1: things to weigh there. I know la Floor, and I 689 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,280 Speaker 1: know he loves Aaron and wants him to come back. 690 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 1: I just think they got to get him more help, 691 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 1: you know, get him another another star receiver, get him 692 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 1: to go out and recruit some guys that to come 693 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 1: to Green Bay, because you're right, no one wants to 694 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: play in Green Bay, but they do want to play 695 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers. And I think that's the selling point. 696 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,280 Speaker 1: And he just hasn't gotten enough say in those matters 697 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,959 Speaker 1: for him to feel like, yeah, I should just stay 698 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,240 Speaker 1: here because he wants a Super Bowl and that team 699 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 1: is ready to win a super Bowl.
