Well, well, 36 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: the Rams just lost the Lions in overtime. Fantastic senter 37 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: that game. It was look for a second like are 38 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: the Allions is kind of gonna work them? Then the 39 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: Rams come storming back. Then they take the lead, Lions 40 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: kick a field goal, get it to overtime. Stafford almost 41 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: for a pick which might have lost him the game, 42 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 1: Buddy dropped it. Then they go to ot run it 43 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: right down their throat. Big win for the Lions. Impressive though, 44 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: given the circumstances with the injuries. I'm gonna give Sean 45 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: McVay and the organizations and props. So we'll talk about 46 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: the Lions the Rams. I do want to piggyback on 47 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: me and me and Colin hit on a little bit 48 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: on Tom and the performance Deshaun Watson trade. I'm a 49 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: sucker for just a just an awful trade. You know, 50 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 1: in football, if you think about it, like in basketball 51 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: and baseball, you get a lot of in season sweet trades. 52 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: You know, Kevin Durantz trade in the middle of the 53 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: season in baseball forever or back in the day when 54 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: it mattered, great players would be traded at the trade deadline. 55 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: In football, most of those happen around the draft, and 56 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: then a couple of years later we know it's just 57 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,839 Speaker 1: like the Stafford trade that was one of the great 58 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: win win trades of all time. The Lions get Golf 59 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: and they get a bunch of draft picks. Rams get 60 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: Stafford and that has not really been the John Watson 61 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: trade at all. I'm also gonna do something starting on Sundays. 62 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: I think a little overrated, underrated, and just things that 63 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: I saw from the weekend. Watch a lot of college football, 64 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: watch a lot of NFL. So we will do a 65 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: little overrated, underrated and then get you out of here. 66 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: But I went on with Colin as I do every Sunday. 67 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: We will have this podcast out every Sunday. We'll record 68 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: it after the Sunday night game, and then we'll obviously 69 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: have podcasts throughout the week. I'll do a big podcast tomorrow, 70 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: probably with some definitely with some male bag question so 71 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: fire in those dms at John Middlecoff. I will bang 72 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: out a bunch of stuff. I gotta go back. I 73 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: didn't lock into the Houston Indie game. I'll probably watch 74 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: that in the morning at the gym and have some 75 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: thoughts about that, and then obviously react to the Niners Jets, 76 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: which pretty good Monday night football game.

I mean, 102 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: that was the second half of that game. Stafford turned 103 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: on Hall of Fame mode, played out standing. Could have 104 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: thrown a pick there at the end of regulation. The 105 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: Lions had guys making plays left and right. The physicality 106 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: of that game, the overtime drive, and it kind of 107 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: hit me. In most sports, you just ride your big 108 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 1: brands no matter what, because the little brands just don't resonate. 109 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: It is hard for the NBA to force okay on people, 110 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: regardless of how good they are. They were just the 111 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 1: number one seed. Major League Baseball is praying to the 112 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: baseball gods that somehow they could get Yankees and Dodgers 113 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: win every round and meet in the World Series. In 114 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 1: the NFL, the Lions, the overwhelming majority of my life 115 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: thirty nine years old, have been terrible. They have had 116 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 1: two good seasons, really just one because two years ago 117 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: they didn't make the playoffs and they can immediately use 118 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 1: them and it immediately works. Last year they were on 119 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: the opening game against the Chiefs on Thursday night, and 120 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: tonight they were in a spot that was held for 121 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: a long long time by the Giants and the Cowboys. 122 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: It was just like Giants, Cowboys Sunday Night played in 123 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: New York or play in Dallas. I felt like it 124 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: was that game eight out of ten years for a stretch. 125 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: And the thing with the NFL, no matter how bad 126 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,559 Speaker 1: you've been, the moment you become good, the moment you matter, 127 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: and the moment America will watch you. And the Lions 128 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: are just immediately watchable. Their coach is cool, their team 129 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: is fun. One thing they really have going for him, 130 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: and we'll see. Like their back end of their defense 131 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: is gonna be a question until they answer it. Obviously, 132 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: they drafted a couple guys. They added Davis from Tampa Bay. 133 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: They have definitely put resources in there. But the strength 134 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: of their team, the offense is just complete. If Jared 135 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: Goff just plays solid, their offensive line is awesome. They 136 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: have multiple sweet running backs. One guy a physical player 137 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: that overtime drive. You can just hand him the ball 138 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: every play right up the gut and he will drag players. 139 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: The other running back is like the new young Alvin Kamara. 140 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: They have one of the best, if not the best, 141 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: current possession wide receiver Sat Brown, who can work the 142 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: middle of the field. The play he made to night 143 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: when he slipped hit the ball down was incredible. They 144 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: have one of the best young tie in the NFL. 145 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: And now they have Jamison Williams who has a little 146 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: basketball player to him. Every time he goes down, you're like, 147 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: is he injured? And then he kind of limps off. 148 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: Then he comes right back and he's fine. But he 149 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: has elite speed, so they can stretch the field. They 150 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: can work the middle of the field, they can get 151 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: to the edges runner on runs with their quick running back. 152 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: They can shove it up the gut with their physical 153 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: running back. And their offensive line is just gonna shove 154 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: your defensive line back. So their offense is as complete 155 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: as there is in the NFL. You could argue player 156 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: for player. Quarterback clearly, like the Chiefs now have a 157 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: more complete offense, and you would take theirs because they 158 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: have no Mahomes. But if all quarterbacks are equal and 159 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: we're just judging the other ten guys, I think you 160 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: would put the Lions near the top. And the other 161 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: thing is the question with Dan Campbell always gonna be 162 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: was like, what's he doing, just like with any CEO 163 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: head coach. Well, we saw Tomlin today. It's pretty clear 164 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: his teams are just ready for a fistfight. They live 165 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 1: for that shit. And that's kind of Dan Campbell like 166 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: his team has taken on his personality. That is a 167 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: physical team, and that is a team. When you play 168 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: like that, that translates to the biggest games. Now, Jared 169 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 1: Goff got a little iffy with a couple passes. He's 170 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: gonna be their question mark. But I think I forget 171 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: the stat off the top of my head that they 172 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: play a ton of indoor games this year outside of Detroit. 173 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: Obviously they play indoors at home, and if they could 174 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: get the number one seed. Nickveigh called it last year, 175 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: that playoff game the loudest environment he's ever been in. 176 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: It's a huge advantage. The other thing is when you 177 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: get a really high pick and you hit on that guy, 178 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,199 Speaker 1: he usually is an exceptional player, right, it sucks when 179 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,959 Speaker 1: you miss on him because of the draft capital. When 180 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: you take a guy like Trey Lance, you'd make a 181 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 1: huge trade or you know whoever. I mean, there have 182 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: been a million swing and misses over the years in 183 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: the top five. But when you hit a home run 184 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 1: and you're like, we got Miles Garrett, we got Nick Bosa, 185 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: we got Aiden Hutchinson, and it was clear last year 186 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: that this guy was ready to take a step into 187 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: the next tier to become one of the better pass rushers. 188 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 1: And the thing in the NFL, it's such a pass 189 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: happy league and the attrition of just offensive lineman. You 190 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: saw it tonight. The Rams felt like they were missing 191 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: their entire offensive line. They're moving guys left and right. 192 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: That the majority of guys, even when they're starters, are 193 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: not Pinay Seul or Trent Williams. They're gonna be relatively 194 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: you know, close to replaceable or a team would be 195 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: open to replacing. And then when you get backups in 196 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: there are just major question marks. And he was eating 197 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: those guys alive. And I'll never forget. I was in 198 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: an office one time and the late Howard mudd Rip, 199 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: who many consider one of the greatest offensive line coaches 200 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: of all time, me and another scouting buddy, we would 201 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: just go into some of the old assistant coaches, especially 202 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: like free agency or the draft and kind of pick 203 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 1: their brain. And I remember dropping like either me or 204 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 1: my buddy was like, yes, he doesn't have the feet 205 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 1: to play left tackle. Think he's more of a right tackle. 206 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 1: And he stopped He's like, what did you just say. 207 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. He's like, when 208 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: I was with Peyton Manning in Indianapolis, we had Robert 209 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,839 Speaker 1: Mathis on one side and Dwight Freedi on the other side, 210 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: and any good pass rusher worth their salt can play 211 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: on either side. And when you watch the NFL now, 212 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: even teams that don't have two good pass rushers, the 213 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: moment they find your weakness, they'll move the guy over there. 214 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: We saw it on Thursday night with Chris Jones. He 215 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: was just finding the weak link and he would just 216 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: move over the guy. Whether it was a guard, whether 217 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: it was right or left tackle, it didn't matter. And 218 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: you saw Aton Hutchinson at night moving around. You see 219 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons do it all the time. And greatness when 220 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: you're able to move all around the line of scrimmage 221 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: and you have elite talent, his motor is awesome. Like 222 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 1: he's a guy headed towards stardom. Now, if Jared Goff 223 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 1: turns the ball over, anything's possible. And tonight he puts 224 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 1: some balls in if he spots But to me, the 225 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: completion of their offense and they've had the same offensive 226 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: coordinator now for going on three years. He seems to 227 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: not want a head coaching job. He kind of just 228 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: looks like an offensive coordinator. When I saw Ben Johnson, like, 229 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 1: you should just stay as the Lions offensive coordinator, make 230 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: like five million dollars a year and just run this 231 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,199 Speaker 1: out for a little bit. But that offense is unreal 232 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: and if their defense is solid, they're gonna be a problem. 233 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: The thing I respect most about the Rams and any 234 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: good team, now that I do this, like I don't 235 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: have the two deeps memorized, especially practice squad guys. So 236 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: as the course of an NFL season will go, like 237 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: any fan, you'll be like, who the hell is that guy? 238 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: Where'd that guy come from? Who's that? Obviously I know 239 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 1: a majority of guys in the NFL. But the thing 240 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: about football, unlike basketball, there are a lot of guys 241 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 1: on these teams that played for random colleges that you've 242 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: never heard of, that were an undrafted free agent that's 243 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: been two years on the practice squad, and to play 244 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: on a good team, to play for the Ravens, to 245 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: play for Andy Reid, to play for Kyle Shanahan, to 246 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: play for these good teams, Obviously, as a starter, you 247 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: have to be good. But to stick around and to 248 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: handle training camp, handle the offseason, to handle the intensity 249 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: of practice during the year, you gotta be a serious cat. 250 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: You gotta be kind of all in you. You gotta conform, 251 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: and you gotta be one of their type guys. It's 252 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 1: why when you see the Rams have a million injuries, 253 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 1: You're like, are they gonna get blown out? It's seventeen 254 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: to three. All of a sudden, you know, three or 255 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: four guys are going to the tent, going to the back. 256 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:55,559 Speaker 1: Pooka's hurt, Like, how are they gonna overcome this? Obviously, Stafford, 257 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: you know, turned into a Hall of Fame version of 258 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 1: himself and was awesome, and Cooper Cup looked like Chris 259 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: Carter on the sideline. But to me, that's culture is 260 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: you can implementt you can implement and put in guys 261 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,719 Speaker 1: in an enormous spot on the road against one of 262 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: the best teams in the league and go to toe 263 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: to toe with them. Now, eventually they ran out of gas. 264 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: I mean, that defense was just was shot. If it 265 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: was a video game one to one hundred, you know, 266 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: they would have been like close to zero. I mean 267 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: they were running on fume, so I don't blame him 268 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: for getting smoked on that last drive. But the second half, 269 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: playing with a bunch of random guys. They came to 270 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: play because they're ready to play. Because the only way 271 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: you play in that operation is be a ready to 272 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: play type. Guy, take your shit seriously Monday through Saturday, 273 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: when no one's watching, when the majority of your snaps 274 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: for portions of your career are on scout team and 275 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: the only reps you might get are in like individual 276 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: situations with the starters. Once you split up in practice, 277 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: you go to the the other side and you service 278 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: the other team. But do you take that really seriously? 279 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: The reason the forty nine ers loved Purty before he 280 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: even started because the defenders were all, like, God, this's 281 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: this guy's awesome on the scout team. How serious he 282 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: takes it, how good he is against us, how hard 283 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: he is to defend. Like they really respected him, And 284 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: that happens on good teams. You earn the respect that way, 285 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: and that's how you improve. So when your number is called, 286 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: when this guy gets hurt or that guy gets hurt, one, 287 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: you know what you're doing. Right. It's not easy to 288 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: play in the NFL Schematically, especially for guys like Sean McVay, 289 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,479 Speaker 1: it's very complex, so you got to know the playbook. 290 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: But two, like it's not too big of a moment, 291 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: like you have prepared. And I saw the rams full 292 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: of dudes that like, that's a really really impressive thing 293 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: they got going. And I'm really glad that Sean McVay 294 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago turned down whatever it was, 295 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: fifteen plus million dollars a year to go work at 296 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: Amazon when he was kind of quote unquote burned out, 297 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: because he's a big addition of the league. Like that's 298 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: just he's a good coach. And obviously, and I think 299 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: we compare him, and I'm guilty of this, is like 300 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: he's synonymous with Kyle Shanahan. It's like, well, he's a 301 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: Shanahan guy because he works for the Shanahans, right, He 302 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: worked for Mike and Kyle, and then they all have 303 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: the same guys that work under him, the floor brothers, 304 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: Like they're all kind of interconnected. He's actually much more 305 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: like Andy Reid. Kyle in that situation with all the 306 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: injuries to the offensive line, even with Stafford would have 307 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: ran it at a much higher clip because at Kyle's core, 308 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: he wants to run the ball because that's what he's 309 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: learned from his dad. Run, run, run, and then set 310 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: up the pass off that that's not really who Sean is. Sean, 311 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: like Andy, wants to pass no matter what. And there 312 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: are points in the game when they were down it's like, God, Sean, 313 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,360 Speaker 1: run the ball a little bit more, but he can't 314 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 1: help it. Now, he'd go, I got Matt Stafford, who's 315 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: probably gonna be the best quarterback that I ever coach, 316 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: and Cooper cups healthy and Stafford will just figure it 317 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: out even if he has to scramble and move around 318 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 1: to save his life, because he did several times. But 319 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh at his core is kind of proven and 320 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: he proved this last year. He wants to pass, and 321 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: where he has in common with both guys because whether 322 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: you're a run first guy or a pass first guy, 323 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 1: do you put a premium on physical practices and physical defenses, 324 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: Because the only way you get better and more physical 325 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: on defense is by practicing hard. And clearly, the Rams 326 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: now we have a sample size whether Aaron Donald is 327 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: there or not, and they showed him last night at 328 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: the USC game. The fucking guy looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger. 329 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: It's like, I get he'd made enough money to accomplish 330 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: a lot, but there's no doubt in my mind that 331 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: if he just showed up to practice Monday or Tuesday 332 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: and played this Sunday, he would get a sack. He 333 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: looks fantastic, but you remove him and like their physicality 334 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 1: didn't skip a beat. Ernest Jones wants more money. See 335 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 1: you later. We'll go with we got some undrafted free 336 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,719 Speaker 1: agents that are coming up on the squad. We'll just 337 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: move on. But Pooka Nakua, like, we'll see what his 338 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 1: injury is. He had four catches before he got ruled out. Like, 339 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: if he can't go for a while, that's a pretty 340 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: big blow. He wasn't just like a revelation last year, like, 341 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: oh look at this rookiers. He got one hundred and 342 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 1: five balls. He was one of the better wide receivers 343 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Now part of doing that. Cooper Cup 344 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: was banged up in a shell of himself, and he 345 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 1: looked fantastic tonight. But if I gave you healthy Pooka 346 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: and healthy Cooper, even with this banged up offensive line 347 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: and the way Stafford's playing, you got major problems as 348 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 1: his defense. I don't care who you are, And Stafford 349 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 1: was kicking himself. He had a chance to get a 350 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 1: big third down there late in the game, and he 351 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 1: kind of overthrew them. As he's in a lot of 352 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: pressure because when you're gonna pass it all the time, 353 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: and you got a bunch of backups in against Aiden Hutchinson, 354 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 1: who's gonna be easily one hundred million dollar guaranteed pass thresher, 355 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: it's hard, but I think at his core it's pretty 356 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: clear like he wants to pass. He wants to pass, 357 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 1: he wants to pass. Maybe Ben Johnson wanted to run 358 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: in that final drive in overtime, but I will guarantee 359 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: you this, Dan Campbell was in the headset, run the ball, 360 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 1: run it down their throat, and then the moment it 361 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: works for a couple runs, run it again again again. 362 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: Was it herb Brooks line in Miracle Again? I mean, 363 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: that's kind of what he was doing. And I don't 364 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: know if McVeigh would have done that, you know, not 365 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: because he's anti successful plays. But you have a core 366 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 1: philosophical belief as a coach, and it's kind of clear 367 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: when you lots of these two guys, both of them 368 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,880 Speaker 1: like physical plays. It's why I gravitate towards certain type 369 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: of coaches, why I like the Harbob Brothers. Tomin's got 370 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: his flaws, but I love the way that he thinks 371 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: about football. Like Cliff Kingsbury's never really been my style. 372 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: I'm not into that type shit. That style of football 373 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: isn't for me. I like more old school football. Now 374 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 1: you can have a new school flavor on it. And 375 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 1: like Andy would throw at every single play, but you 376 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: better believe that his defense that he is gonna build 377 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,439 Speaker 1: in Draft four is gonna be to inflict pain on you, 378 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: on a personnat basis, and I thought the Rams brought 379 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: it today. It was really impressive. What a fantastic game, 380 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: fantastic night for the NFL. Kind of a weird day. 381 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,919 Speaker 1: Not some group. I wouldn't say great matchups today, but 382 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: the primetime games the NFL has come through. Obviously the 383 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: Thursday and Friday night games, those two brands, I guess 384 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: those four brands. Those games games were really entertaining. And 385 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 1: then tonight was awesome. And hopefully Monday Night lives up 386 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: to the hype. Colin and I talked about Brady and 387 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: he gave his thoughts. I said, I thought he was 388 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 1: pretty bad. Wasn't trying to over one game. It's not 389 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: the end of the world, but the one thing. And 390 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: I've been texting with a lot of friends watching Sunday 391 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: Night football. I do wonder what Tom's pitch is gonna 392 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 1: be because I thought about it, like, who are the 393 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 1: greatest announcers of my life? Well, John Madden by a 394 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: country mile is the most popular, the most famous, and 395 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,239 Speaker 1: easily the best. And then I think, in terms of 396 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 1: recent memory, the highest compensated, and just the most entertaining. 397 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 1: People nitpick them all the time, but we're gruding it 398 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: in Berkley, I think. And I was really hard when 399 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: they hired Drew Brees. I'm like, this is boring. I 400 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 1: remember Matt Ryan doing games last year. I'm like, this 401 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: doesn't work. These guys were great football players. Matt Ryan 402 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 1: won an MVP. Drew Brees is a first ballot Hall 403 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: of Famer, shattered some records, was awesome for like fifteen years. 404 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 1: But being good at that does not make you entertaining. 405 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 1: And the one thing I hoped, because Tom was such 406 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 1: a good teammate, such a guy's guy. I do think 407 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: it's difficult for that to come out when you're not 408 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: used to it. Like talking on a mic and being entertaining, 409 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: whether you're calling a game, whether you're a radio host, 410 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: whether you're a talk show host, whether you're a podcaster, 411 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: is not easy. It's why a tiny percent of people 412 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: that do it are successful in terms of make money 413 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: and get people to watch. It's hard. I can count 414 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 1: on like two hands the people that I think are 415 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: really entertaining either on TV or radio, slash podcast. It's 416 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: difficult to do. So. The more I thought about Tom Brady, 417 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 1: of course he was kind of bad today, Like it's 418 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 1: just he's I've never done this. He has done these 419 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: trial runs when no one is watching and the game 420 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 1: has already been played. Who cares. That's impossible. The only 421 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: way to get better at anything. That's why I've always 422 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: been a huge believer of playing young players is through experience. Now, 423 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: the hard part is as a player or like a 424 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: manual worker or something like, you could just kind of 425 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: just keep doing it and physically go at it. This 426 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 1: is not one of those things like Tom. The overall 427 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 1: percentage of people that watch football is large, right relative 428 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: to all other television shows. It's millions upon millions of people. 429 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 1: I saw like thirty million people watch Thursday night football. 430 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 1: I'd imagine to night the number is very similar. You 431 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: have a lot of people watching, and you watch Collinsworth 432 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: and I bet if I got on Twitter or Reddit 433 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 1: or something, you'd see opinions all over the place. He's 434 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,640 Speaker 1: just loose and he's fun, and he talks a little 435 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 1: bit in football LNGO. But there's a reason that the 436 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: x's and O shows have never had any success on television, 437 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: in podcasts, even on the blogs, because that stuffs boring 438 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: for anyone who is not a die die, die hard 439 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 1: football guy. Unless you're truly doing it for a living. 440 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: It's like it's not gonna resonate. So what resonates with 441 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 1: people is much more surface level with entertainment value mixed in. 442 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 1: And I think the hard part for Tom over this 443 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 1: next season is like, how can you just loosen up? 444 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 1: How can you just kind of be a little bit 445 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: more relatable? And then it kind of hit me. I 446 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: do think it's gonna be difficult for a guy who 447 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 1: is as rich and famous as Tom Brady to be 448 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: relatable in that setting, even if he could have a 449 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: beer with me or you and be relatable, because I 450 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: bet he could. I bet Tom Brady could come over 451 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 1: to my house, sit in the backyard, have a beer 452 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: and we could have a pretty easy conversation. But I 453 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,439 Speaker 1: think that spot when he's feeling the pressure and he 454 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: hasn't had a job like this with this many people watching, 455 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 1: besides being a player, when he's been less prepared. I 456 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: mean when he was playing for the Tampa Bucks, he 457 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 1: had twenty plus years of playing, being coached by Belichick, 458 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: being coached by guys like Charlie Weis, Josh McDaniels, Bill O'Brien, 459 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 1: playing in the biggest games. He's seen it all. And 460 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 1: now like Kevin Burkhardt, who's the ultimate pro's been doing 461 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:31,360 Speaker 1: it forever, is like really smooth, He's fantastic at his job. 462 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: Tom Rinaldi, I mean, nobody is better at his job 463 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 1: than Tom. But that's all these guys have done. And 464 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: then you put Tom in there, and all he has 465 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: going for him right now is he's Tom Brady. He's 466 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 1: really famous. But you're watching him, You're like, where, what's this? 467 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: What's going on? And I do defend him like it 468 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: would be a tough situation to be thrown into. And nobody, 469 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 1: I don't care how rich you are, unless you're like 470 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos is turning down almost four hundred million dollars 471 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: to call football games. But I don't know what his pitches, 472 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 1: whether you like Tony Romo or not. And listen, I've 473 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: been up in you know, warm and cold on the guy. 474 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 1: He has a pitch. He's really fun, he's really energetic. 475 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: Chris Collinsworth somewhat similar. He's kind of the old uncle 476 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: who's just like God, this guy's just having a good 477 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: time watching ball. Aikman kind of like an old school 478 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: red ass. He will light people up. Tom was lighting 479 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: nobody up today. I mean, Deshaun Watson is an embarrassment, 480 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: an absolute embarrassment for the NFL. Think about it. He 481 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: got one of the most historic trades we've ever seen 482 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: in terms of draft compensation. He got the biggest contract 483 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,719 Speaker 1: in the history of the league, and he's a bottom 484 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: five starter in the NFL. Like it's a joke. And 485 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: everyone there is not a football fan today who was 486 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 1: watching that game that wasn't texted with someone being like, 487 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: what is this? And Tom was like, Eh, he just 488 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: needs to work a little bit more. He just needs 489 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,199 Speaker 1: to get a feel as a group, Like, no, Tom, 490 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 1: this guy blows thirty million people on their couches are 491 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: literally all saying it. Maybe there's a few. It's like, 492 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 1: well he's got some backup offensive lineman. He's being paid 493 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,360 Speaker 1: sixty million dollars a year to run around if he's 494 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: getting chased. He can't even do that anymore. And it's like, 495 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: you gotta be able to say something if you're not 496 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,159 Speaker 1: gonna be the fun guy, right, you're not gonna be 497 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: collins Worth, Like, oh, Mike, you know, jee Gibbs, you 498 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,199 Speaker 1: gotta be ake Aikman would have taken a blow torch 499 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: right there. So you gotta be one or the other. 500 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 1: And it feels like I don't know if Tom well, 501 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: I know he doesn't know because he doesn't have a 502 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: style yet. But he was just styleless that there was nothing. 503 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 1: It'd be like a pitcher, who just what do you 504 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: want to throw? It's like I don't know, Well, if 505 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: you got a fastball, you gotta change up. You gott 506 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: a curveball, Like what's your We got two strike count here, 507 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 1: we need to get an out. What's your go to pitch? 508 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: I don't really have one. I just kind of I 509 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: don't know. It's a problem, and it's it's gonna be 510 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: a little bumpy than even I thought, like I like Tom. 511 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 1: I told Colin that I admire the guy, his just 512 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: his life story, the late round pick, how hard he works, 513 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: how much people like him. But now he's like he's 514 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: an entertainer for me. He's calling one of the biggest 515 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 1: games of the week every single Sunday. And it was 516 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: atrocious and it really was. And he couldn't have a 517 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: better crew. Like it's like, could there be easier people 518 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: to work with than Tom Rinaldi and Kevin Burkhart. It 519 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: doesn't get any easier. And he was bad. And I 520 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 1: think sometimes I hate it when like everyone's saying something, 521 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: but I think this is gonna be one of those 522 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 1: where universally, like everyone's in agreement, Like that was a 523 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: rough watch. One thing that was not a rough watch 524 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 1: is the Steelers defense, and that unit today was gave 525 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons a physical beat down. And this was 526 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 1: the same team they told Bill Belichick they weren't interested 527 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: they drafted a quarterback with the number eighth overall pick 528 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: when they had just give him Cousins one hundred million dollars, 529 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: and I said, at the moment they did this, and 530 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: I like Mike Pennock or Michael Pennocks more than most. 531 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: I think he's a pro, ready, plug and play guy. 532 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: Is I think we looked at the Cousins as like 533 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: you were signing Peyton Manning or Tom Brady, like when 534 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: Denver and Tampa signed those two guys. It's like this 535 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: guy who had turned into a good player two years 536 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: ago and probably for like a five game stretch last 537 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: year before he tore his achilles, but for most of 538 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: his career, I would say No. One was just more 539 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: polarizing because he was making a lot of money and 540 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: people just like, is he any good? We know he's 541 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: not bad, but like, is this guy top ten guy? 542 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: And he'd have moments where he clearly was, but his 543 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: equity was always floating somewhere like twelve to sixteen. And 544 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: then he goes to this brand new team, it's like 545 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: this guy's the savior. And then the Steelers and TJ. 546 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: Watt today were working him, destroying and then he's throwing interceptions. 547 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: His last pick toward the end of the game was 548 00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: just low level bad. I mean bad quarterback play, and 549 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 1: you wonder when a guy has no equity and is 550 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: getting worked by a team that listen, I was guilty of. 551 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna stink, And maybe they don't 552 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: because the culture of Mike Tom was like, yeah, we'll 553 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 1: just win every game eighteen to fifteen, eighteen to ten, 554 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: seventeen to thirteen. We have no problem playing like that, 555 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: and if they stay healthy on defense, they probably can't. 556 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: And they worked Atlanta in the second half with Justin Fields, 557 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 1: who is like much more of a runner than a pastor, 558 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 1: though he made some good passes today. And I do 559 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: wonder Atlanta who carried themselves like we know what we're doing. 560 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: Rare Heie Morris said, Like they asked him why is 561 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: your staff so big, because they have one of the biggest, 562 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: if not the biggest staff in the league. He said, 563 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: because we plan on winning, and when we lose coaches, 564 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 1: we will have reinforcements already here, so we don't need 565 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: to onboard on board new guys. I like guys that 566 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: believe in themselves. That seems like a pretty crazy thing 567 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: to say. That seems like taking over the Mahomes chiefs here, 568 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: You're taking over a team that's won twenty one games 569 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: in the last three years, and all we've heard about 570 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 1: was how great their skill guys are. And then you're like, well, 571 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 1: is Bjohn some moll star. Kyle Pitts has already banged up? 572 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: Is he maybe one of the most overrated draft picks 573 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: of all time? And we just got that one wrong. 574 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: So maybe their talent is a tad bit overrated. And 575 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: the other thing is Raheem Well, he was an excellent 576 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator for the Rams. I would say for Sean 577 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: mcvay's tenure, all their defensive coordinator's been good. Brandon Taley 578 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: was good for them. Shula mcveigh's buddy from college looks 579 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: sweet Wade Phillips was awesome. Maybe they just draft and 580 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 1: developed good defensive players under McVeigh. So to just assume 581 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: this guy's gonna be a good head coach, How can 582 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: we do that? And now they're already kind of backs 583 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 1: up against the wall some negativity on Cousins. It just 584 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: gets weird fast. And on the Steelers side, obviously, Russell's 585 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: calf is banged up. I guess I saw someone on 586 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: the internet say that he actually heard it a couple 587 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: of days before training camp, pushing the sled or something. 588 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: Just Russell working out twenty four to seven, three sixty five. 589 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 1: If he does get healthy this week, under no circumstances, 590 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: can you not just keep rolling out justin fields. Does 591 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: he have some flaws, yes, but the talent in there 592 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 1: and his ability to run for a team that just 593 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 1: is gonna be offensively limited sometimes on the outside beside, 594 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 1: George Pickens to me, he asked to play, and if 595 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: I was a Steeler fan, until he either gets injured 596 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 1: or has like multiple three or four pick games and 597 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: we lose, I'm rolling with this guy. I'm rolling with 598 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: the young guy. I do not want to see Russell 599 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: Wilson dinkin duck funny. I was at the gym early 600 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: this morning, and when I got back right at like 601 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 1: ten o'clock as the games were kicking off, I didn't 602 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 1: see that, like and I tried to look it up 603 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 1: on the internet. I couldn't quite find it. If Russell 604 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,959 Speaker 1: was the third quarterback because he technically wasn't active, so 605 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if he technically could have played or 606 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 1: they it basically ruled him out. He was in shoulder pads, 607 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 1: so if he was truly inactive and couldn't play in 608 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: Warre's shoulder pads. Kind of a geeky, dorky move. That 609 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: is the reason no one takes them seriously. Want to 610 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 1: do a little overrated, underrated obviously Atlanto. I mean we 611 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: just hit on. I never bought into it. I just 612 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: refuse to buy into it, and I feel more validated today. 613 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: The hype on this team, talking about like they were 614 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: just gonna win twelve games was crazy. Talk to me 615 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: like Cousins and Raheem Morris were Bill Walsh and Joe Montana. 616 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: I've been saying this for a while. I understand they 617 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 1: played the Panthers, but I thought the Saints were underrated. 618 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 1: Their defense is good. They have a really good defense, 619 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 1: a huge part why they went nine to eight last year. 620 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 1: If you have a good defense in college or the NFL, 621 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 1: you are going to be competitive. But Derek Carr gets 622 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 1: to play in the Shanahan system now. It is a 623 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:11,839 Speaker 1: very quarterback friendly offense. It makes four easy throws when 624 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,439 Speaker 1: you're running the ball well, which the Saints are going 625 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 1: to be able to do. No team has more money 626 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: invested into their running back room than the Saints. It's 627 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:25,320 Speaker 1: really easy to pass the ball and Kubiak, whose dad 628 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 1: played and coached for Mike Shanahan and then started Kyle's career. 629 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 1: I would say, might as Well's last name be Shanahan 630 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:38,240 Speaker 1: knows this offense as well as anybody not named Gary Kubiak, 631 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 1: Mike Shanahan or Kyle Shanahan. This is gonna work. They're 632 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,920 Speaker 1: going to be dramatically better on offense. Everyone thought they 633 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,839 Speaker 1: were gonna suck, like I just did not get it. 634 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: Like Derek Carr has proven if you just give him 635 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 1: solid coaching in a solid team like he can be competitive. 636 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,959 Speaker 1: He can be Kirk Cousins. But everyone acts like Derek 637 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,799 Speaker 1: Carr is like Deshaun Watson or something. And today I 638 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 1: know we had a really good game, But I just 639 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,319 Speaker 1: mean over the course of the season, even if they 640 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 1: win similar game nine to ten, like they can win 641 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: the division. The most overrated football team of the last 642 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: twenty five years consistently is Notre Dame Football. One of 643 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 1: the best things on the Internet yesterday was Thomas Hammock, 644 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: the coach at NIU. Turns out he actually coached for 645 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: the Ravens for a while. Former running back at Niu 646 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 1: had bounced around a little bit and has been their 647 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 1: head coach now for several years. They got paid one 648 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,359 Speaker 1: point four million dollars. Like a lot of these games, right, 649 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 1: you get paid between one point two to one point 650 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 1: eight million dollars to go play one of the big 651 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 1: boys because the Big Boys viewed as a lock win, 652 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,200 Speaker 1: we get an easy ten twenty point win. Give you 653 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 1: a check win win. He went in there and he 654 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 1: won as a thirty point underdog. And listen, Notre Dame 655 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: last week beat TEXA and m who had a quarterback 656 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 1: who could throw it about as well as me, and 657 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 1: then to lose this game. Riley Leonard, I read a 658 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 1: great article on an athletic. Seems like a fantastic human being. 659 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 1: And he's obviously a good runner. He couldn't throw, he 660 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 1: couldn't hit water if he was in a boat in 661 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,400 Speaker 1: the middle of the lake. He's an awful thrower. And 662 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 1: Notre Dame is just always so overrated. I mean that 663 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 1: program the moment the Oregon game was on last night 664 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,759 Speaker 1: on Peacock, they're literally doing live hard knocks of Notre Dame. 665 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 1: People want to anoint them, like I'll give the Cowboys credit, 666 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: like at least they win their division and beat good 667 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:41,399 Speaker 1: teams throughout the regular season. Notre Dame last year lost 668 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,719 Speaker 1: a fucking Marshall and now or two years ago and 669 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 1: this year lose to NIU, it's gotta be one of 670 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 1: the worst losses in the history of the program. Absolute 671 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 1: embarrassment and no program. They gotta just be the most overrated. 672 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 1: They're still talked about like it's Lou Holtz nineteen eighty seven, 673 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 1: it's twenty twenty four. Your skill guys are never good enough. 674 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 1: And maybe it's because of the academic requirements they can't 675 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:08,840 Speaker 1: get in. The guys to school like Ohio State or 676 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 1: LSU or Alabama or whatever. Regardless, you don't have them 677 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,879 Speaker 1: and they do. And to play ANIU, who I guarantee 678 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 1: if you had to do one through fifty an NFL 679 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:25,280 Speaker 1: GM on the rosters, there wouldn't be many ANIU players picked. 680 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:29,239 Speaker 1: So just a horrendous loss. This guy was rated the 681 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:33,359 Speaker 1: most overrated player in the NFL by players. Might be 682 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 1: one of the most egregious things in the history of 683 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 1: the league. Tyreek Hill being number one overall in the 684 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:43,400 Speaker 1: players vote a little crazy just because like Holis Patrick Mahomes, 685 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 1: But I think all of us would agree Tyreek got 686 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 1: a little Scottis Scheffler treatment today. I didn't know. Tyreek, 687 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 1: who I think I've seen on a podcast, said that 688 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 1: he wanted to be a porn star when he was 689 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,719 Speaker 1: done playing. I think he has like twelve kids. He 690 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,919 Speaker 1: literally said that he also wants to be a cop, 691 00:37:58,080 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 1: and I think he said when he was getting arrested 692 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 1: he was on the cops, I want to be a cop. 693 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,840 Speaker 1: Which can you imagine Tyreek Hill when he becomes a 694 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 1: cop and someone tries to run away, He's like, Hey, 695 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 1: I'll give you like a ten minute head start. Just 696 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,439 Speaker 1: just take off down the road. You're screwed. I'm gonna 697 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 1: get to pretty quick. He'd be a fast cop, but 698 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,400 Speaker 1: I get it. Tyreek to me is one of the 699 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 1: best players of his generation, one of the greatest players 700 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 1: I've ever seen. But people saying Josh Allen is overrated? 701 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 1: Are you guys on drugs? Are we watching the same stuff? Like? 702 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,439 Speaker 1: Or Josh Allen on the Bills? Is there another Josh Allen, 703 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 1: another team? Josh Allen the guy play? Does he play 704 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 1: for the Panthers or something? Because the dude on the 705 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,520 Speaker 1: Bills is one of the best players I've ever seen, 706 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,400 Speaker 1: easily He's definitely one of the more physically talented players 707 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:51,239 Speaker 1: I've ever seen, and he wins and he produces every 708 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:55,759 Speaker 1: single year. Today they're getting their ass kicked by the Cardinals, 709 00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 1: who were just a tough team to play week one 710 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,439 Speaker 1: because of Kyler. It was like, yeah, I'll just figure 711 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 1: out a way. I'll score four touchdowns. Break my hand, 712 00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 1: tweak my hand, whatever, wrap that shit up. I'm ready 713 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:10,760 Speaker 1: to roll. Like, what are we talking about? Lamar Jackson 714 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:16,440 Speaker 1: has so many defenders. Every corner of the internet, every podcast, 715 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 1: everyone's defending Lamar, which I get. I root for the 716 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,239 Speaker 1: guy too. I want him to get better, but he's 717 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 1: a very flawed player. For being a great player a 718 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 1: huge reason for his greatness. He's arguably the greatest runner 719 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 1: we've ever seen at the position, but as a thrower, 720 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:37,200 Speaker 1: he's very hit or miss. Josh is an infinitely better thrower, 721 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:41,479 Speaker 1: and while he's not as fast as Lamar, he's got 722 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 1: some Cam Newton to his running game. Running guys, over 723 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:48,480 Speaker 1: running over guys, an incredible red zone runner in terms 724 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:55,200 Speaker 1: of quarterback sweeps. Overrated, it's fucking laughable. Overrated. I had 725 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:56,799 Speaker 1: a little money on this game, and it was tough. 726 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie when Tyreek got a rest. I 727 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 1: don't root for any of this stuff. But when you 728 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 1: do have money on a team, like I did with 729 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 1: the Jacks, and you see the best player of the 730 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:13,319 Speaker 1: other team get arrested, my first thought was, God, they're 731 00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,280 Speaker 1: gonna win. He's not gonna play today, and then obviously 732 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,480 Speaker 1: cuffs off. He's playing, and by the middle of the 733 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,200 Speaker 1: game he's hitting like a seventy yard bomb over the middle. 734 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:24,959 Speaker 1: I'm like, fuck Doug Peterson today, and I still quite 735 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,760 Speaker 1: is Doug Peterson calling the plays, Press Taylor calling the plays. 736 00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,960 Speaker 1: They were dominating that game, and in the second half 737 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:36,440 Speaker 1: from their own thirty he went forward on fourth down. Now, 738 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,720 Speaker 1: Miami ended up missing the field goal, but the play 739 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:43,239 Speaker 1: call to do that. I'm all for being aggressive. I'm 740 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,960 Speaker 1: a pro aggressive guy, not Brandon Staley aggressive. But there 741 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,839 Speaker 1: are points in time go for it. Totally get it. 742 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,480 Speaker 1: I can't get behind and understand the logic. I don't 743 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 1: give a shit how many Harvard and Mit graduates that 744 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 1: are handing you Excel spreadsheets that tell you to do 745 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,239 Speaker 1: stuff like that. If you don't get it. They have 746 00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:08,800 Speaker 1: two incredible offensive weapons in Waddle and Hill. You're giving 747 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,360 Speaker 1: them the ball with thirty yards to score a touchdown 748 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:18,560 Speaker 1: thirty yards that's insanity. He missed the field goal. Ultimately whatever, 749 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 1: it didn't cost him points. They ended up losing the game. 750 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,040 Speaker 1: But that's a game that I don't know how Doug 751 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,480 Speaker 1: sleeps well at night. You cannot lose that game. You're 752 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:32,759 Speaker 1: killing them and they got their offense just became futriative 753 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,319 Speaker 1: in the second. They couldn't move the ball. They have 754 00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,879 Speaker 1: too many offensive weapons. You're paying your quarterback two hundred 755 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:41,239 Speaker 1: million dollars guaranteed. How can you not throw for two 756 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:45,800 Speaker 1: hundred yards on the Miami Dolphins and last underrated? Honestly 757 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 1: didn't know much about this guy until last week when 758 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:53,920 Speaker 1: he scored six touchdowns. Well, last night Oregon Boise State 759 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,440 Speaker 1: was an incredible night game. It was on Peacock. They 760 00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,480 Speaker 1: had like their C team there. It kept blacking out. 761 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,400 Speaker 1: Not an easy watch by any means. And I'm not 762 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:07,160 Speaker 1: anti Peacock. I pay for it. But the Peacock game 763 00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 1: Thursday night or Friday night Eagles Eagle who they play 764 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,880 Speaker 1: Eagles Packers. I was wrong on Jordan Love thought he 765 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,759 Speaker 1: rolled his ankle towards mcl or mcl sprain or whatever. 766 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:18,960 Speaker 1: He's out three to six. So take the l on that. 767 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:23,160 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm not a good television doctor. But the Peacock 768 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,759 Speaker 1: broadcast Oregon Boise State. Who I had a little money 769 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,399 Speaker 1: on Oregon because I thought they would Oh, Boise State, 770 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,760 Speaker 1: great program, has never lost to Oregon, but like Oregon 771 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:33,600 Speaker 1: just got embarrassed against Idaho. I thought they would kill 772 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:37,760 Speaker 1: him all of a sudden, Oregon's losing and Boise State's 773 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:42,399 Speaker 1: running back last year his name is Ashton Genty, ran 774 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:46,439 Speaker 1: for about thirteen hundred and fifty yards six yards per carry, 775 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,480 Speaker 1: fourteen touchdowns, caught another forty three balls in five touchdowns. 776 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,279 Speaker 1: Some scouting buddies like, I really liked the guy. Last 777 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,759 Speaker 1: week he almost ran for three hundred yards and six touchdowns, 778 00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:59,400 Speaker 1: but it was against Georgia's Southern Against Oregon, he had 779 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,400 Speaker 1: twenty five carries, one hundred and ninety two yards and 780 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,560 Speaker 1: three touchdowns. I'm texting around, I'm like, is this guy 781 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 1: going in the first round? And I had a buddy say, well, 782 00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,520 Speaker 1: he's probably closer to five to six than five to eight. 783 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,279 Speaker 1: He's really small, so he's not a first rounder, but 784 00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,040 Speaker 1: he is easily one of the best players in the country. 785 00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,719 Speaker 1: So I googled Darren Sprolls, who when he played for 786 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:24,840 Speaker 1: Kansas State was also one of the best players in 787 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,920 Speaker 1: the country, but he was tiny. He went in the 788 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,960 Speaker 1: in This guy is physical runner, he's fast, he can 789 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,399 Speaker 1: go outside, and he obviously can catch the ball. I'm 790 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,680 Speaker 1: not saying he's exactly Darren Sproles, but I think there 791 00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,200 Speaker 1: are some parallels. Really small guy, Darren Sproles went in 792 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 1: the fourth round. I looked yesterday, Darren Sproles played fourteen 793 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,560 Speaker 1: years in the NFL. Not saying Darren Sprowl should have 794 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,160 Speaker 1: gone in the top ten, but I promise you this, 795 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,160 Speaker 1: he probably should have been drafted in the second round. 796 00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,400 Speaker 1: And that's where this guy's gonna go. So if you 797 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,120 Speaker 1: get a chance, Boys State's on watch their running back 798 00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,560 Speaker 1: because Ashton genty and I've watched a lot of college 799 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:02,839 Speaker 1: football these first couple weeks. I'm not saying he's gonna 800 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 1: get drafted the highest, but there can't be ten better 801 00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 1: college players right now did play on Saturdays and that guy, 802 00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,719 Speaker 1: so props to him. He's got nine touchdowns. He has 803 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,400 Speaker 1: nine touchdown he played eight quarters of football. He has 804 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:21,080 Speaker 1: nine touchdowns, just an incredible effort so far. It's September. 805 00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,040 Speaker 1: It was September seventh. It was September seventh, and he 806 00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:28,640 Speaker 1: finished with nine touchdowns, so maybe he can get to thirty. 807 00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 1: The volume
