1
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: What is going on? Everybody? John mentalcop three and out podcast.

2
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: That's me, that's the show back again. Just got done

3
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: watching Mexico City hosts a game, hopefully for the last

4
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 1: time until they get their field fixed. Uh. Pretty entertaining game.

5
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: Classic Charger game in the red zone, down to score,

6
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: Rinse wash, repeat, same thing every week. We'll dive into

7
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: the game, the field conditions in Philip Rivers. Whoa is

8
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: he washed? Uh? John Harbaugh following Jim Harbaugh's blueprint. Tom Brady,

9
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: something I noticed in the game against the Eagles that

10
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: is not good to a tongavaloa. What what does his

11
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: hip injury mean for his draft status? I ranked just

12
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: the top five teams in the NFC. Uh, And really

13
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: we got five teams that if you wanted to rank

14
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: in any order right here you it's the NFC is

15
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: traumatically better in the f C. If you if you

16
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: win the NFC this year and you represent the NFC

17
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, you beat some damn good teams. Uh.

18
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: And then I'll just do some headlines things that I

19
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,839
Speaker 1: saw over the weekend that jumped out to me also Saturday.

20
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: It's a couple of the quarterbacks that are pretty intriguing

21
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: in the Middlecoff mailbag like always at John Middlecoff is

22
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: my Instagram handle. Slide right into those d m s

23
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: and you get your ask any question you want football preferably,

24
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: but if you've got a life question about any sport,

25
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: I don't care. You just slide up into those d

26
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: m ask away and I will answer your questions here

27
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: on the podcast. But let's start with Mexico City first

28
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: and foremost. I get why the league in theory plays

29
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: international games. Every business book I've ever read, every person

30
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: that I know that works in business always says you're

31
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: either growing or you're dying. When I work for the Eagles,

32
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: they had a sign in the player's locker room, and

33
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: I think most teams have this sign. You're either getting

34
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: better or you're getting worse. Nobody stays the same same concept,

35
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: either going up or you're going down. You have to grow.

36
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 1: And while the ratings for football have grown these last

37
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: couple of years, clearly the NFL in football in general,

38
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 1: is a really big deal in this country. It can't

39
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: grow forever. Eventually, it's gonna be capped. Now if you

40
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: get million, if you just cap at million people watching,

41
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: your big games. You're in good shape, You're gonna be

42
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: able to make billions of dollars. But like, that's not

43
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: the way business people think. So I get going to London, right,

44
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: they have as many people in London at least. This

45
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: is I've never even googled this, but someone tweeted at

46
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: me as l A. So let's just give or take.

47
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: They got fifteen to twenty million people. I understand that

48
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: their field hasn't really felt like at least when I've

49
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: watched the games. Now, I'll be completely honest, haven't been

50
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: super locked in, but it feels like the field has

51
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: been okay, not a disaster. Maybe I'm wrong. The Mexico

52
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: field bell has been a problem last year they had

53
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: to cancel the game tonight. It looked like for those

54
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: of you that play golf, you know, if you go

55
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: play golf on either a bad Muni course or a

56
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: course after it rains and the grass is just really soft,

57
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: in the moment you hit the ball takes a huge divot.

58
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: That's what it felt like tonight. The differences in golf,

59
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: like you just chunk the ball, who cares? In football,

60
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:19,399
Speaker 1: you could tear your knee, break your ankle cause injuries

61
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: that game tonight, from Mahomes to Hill, to Kelsey to

62
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: Frank Clark to Ingram to Bosa to Keenan Allen to

63
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: Melvin Go. I mean we got Hunter Hand, we got

64
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: star players everywhere for the league. It's pretty clear the

65
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: League office doesn't give a ship about players or even teams.

66
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: They only care about making money. The League office views

67
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: football because most of the people are lifetime just business

68
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: people that work out The League office no different. I

69
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: got an iPad look in front of me, like the

70
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: people at Apple. You think they're worried about like the

71
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: the the iPad. No, they it's just a widget. To them,

72
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: it's just a It's just a mode to make them money.

73
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: That's how the League office have used teams and coaches

74
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: and players. They don't care about them. They don't care

75
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: that they sent him to a field where on any

76
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: given play, half the half the field could tear their

77
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: a c L. That was embarrassing tonight, that that's a

78
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: joke to play on that field. I I can't believe

79
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: the league. I get London kinda, but I don't get

80
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: Mexico City. When their field is an abomination, it's not

81
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: safe to play on that field. You're gonna send you know,

82
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: a top five star in mahomes on a field like

83
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: that when clearly these guys are slipping and sliding all

84
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: over the place. It's clear the grass. I'm not. I

85
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: went to cal Poly and started off as at business major,

86
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: but I don't pretend to know a lot about grass,

87
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: at least not the type on the ground. But I

88
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,799
Speaker 1: know when you see the grass come up that easily

89
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: off every cut, we have a problem. And people are

90
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: tweeting at me. I said, why don't they just build,

91
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: you know, pay for a turf field there? And I

92
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: guess with soccer, they're not gonna play on the surf field. Fine,

93
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: then the answer simple, by by Mexico, by by Mexico.

94
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: Until you get a field that is suitable for the

95
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: NFL athlete to play on, we don't need to go

96
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: to Mexico now. If they get one, I got no

97
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: problem going there every year. It's kind of fun to watch.

98
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: I was fascinated the food in the in the for

99
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: the lines for the fans looks fantastic. I saw my

100
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: guy Jimmy Durkin, who works the athletic covers the Raiders

101
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: and just editor just just a baller tweeted because he

102
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: went with the Raiders a couple of years ago or

103
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: to watch the Raider game there, and he's like, you

104
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: could get these incredible meals for like a dollar. I

105
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: would imagine the food in the stadium is just pristine.

106
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: I mean I would, I'd go there just to eat.

107
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: But the safety on the field was borderline embarrassing. I

108
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: mean there was a play when Melvin Gordon leaped and

109
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: he hit the ground in his knee, took out a

110
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 1: chunk of grass like he was Tiger Wood swinging a sandwich.

111
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: That should not happen. That that it not only should

112
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: not that can't happen. This is the National Football League.

113
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: This isn't peewee football. Hell, this isn't like D two college.

114
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: This is the NFL sending them to Mexico City. But

115
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: you could have just had this game in Kansas City.

116
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: It would have been fine. You know. Again, I am

117
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: pro the international games, and I understand the concept of

118
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: doing it, but not at the the risk factor when

119
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: the fields like that that that that can't happen. My

120
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: other big takeaway from this game is I'm not gonna

121
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: go as far. I know. I said the word a

122
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: little earlier and say he's washed, because he's not washed,

123
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: but he's a shell of what he was. And he

124
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: was always kind of a hit or miss player. But

125
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,799
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers has not been good this year. Philip Rivers

126
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: is going in this yolo mode. He's never been a

127
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: guy that, like you watch my homes he can throw

128
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: a frozen rope of forty yards right, so he can

129
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: he can throw it into an area, a tightly contested area,

130
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: from far distance, pinpoint accuracy, even when there's not much

131
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: you know, uh not not a big window. Rivers can't

132
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: do that. Everything with with Rivers is anticipate Pitian timing,

133
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: and he hangs his hat historically on accuracy when he's

134
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: been really good. Well to me, his anticipation. I think

135
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: he obviously still sees it like he still has the mind,

136
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: but his touch slash accuracy is nowhere near what it

137
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: once was. He threw four picks a night. I'm pretty

138
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: sure he threw two or three against the Raiders last

139
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: Thursday night. So he has like six or seven picks

140
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: the last two weeks a pick six tonight. His picks

141
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: were he easily could have thrown another one because the

142
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: honey Badger dropped one that hit him in the bread basket.

143
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: But I just don't see, like the last pass of

144
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: the game is a classic timing pass that if you

145
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: are gonna miss, you miss on the far side of

146
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: the of the end zone, so you're either gonna throw

147
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: it over your man or throw it out of bounds.

148
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: The one place you don't need to be Bill Walsh

149
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: to understand if you're gonna throw the fade slash that

150
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: little wheel route whatever they were running and the defender

151
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: is trailing. I think it was a running back. You

152
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: cannot underthrow that ball, and that's a play that Rivers

153
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: has probably made a million times in his career. They've

154
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: probably practiced that two million times. For him to under

155
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: throw that ball, to me was the biggest red flag

156
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: of the night. I think he's lost it now. It

157
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: might have been. You could tell he was huffing and puffing.

158
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: That's part of being thirty seven, thirty eight years old.

159
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: I'll never forget Carson Palmer talking when he was on

160
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: the podcast a month ago about Ben Roethlisberger is really

161
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: going to realize in this rehab how difficult it is

162
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: you're when you're thirty seven, thirty year, eight years old. Hell,

163
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: I see it now on thirty five aches and pains

164
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: I get. I get a little sore after I play golf,

165
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: or if I get a hard lift, if I eat

166
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: the wrong food, it takes my body a day to metabolize.

167
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: A hangover now doesn't last twelve hours, It could last

168
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: thirty six hours. I can't imagine what I'm gonna feel

169
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: like when I'm forty five, when I'm fifty five, Philip

170
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: rivers his body and he's never been obviously a great athlete,

171
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: and he's never had a huge arm. It's just kind

172
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: of going on him. This is what I I think

173
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: we and I include myself, have got accustomed to all

174
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: these athletes playing into their late thirties, even their early forties,

175
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: especially quarterbacks. It's not normal. And I don't care how

176
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: much diet changes and how much training regiment changes. I

177
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna become typical. The guys are just

178
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: gonna consistently dominate att years old. I really don't. You're

179
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: seeing banned boom his arm blue. You're seeing Rivers. His

180
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 1: body has just kind of given out on Eli was

181
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: shot three years ago. Like to me, this is normal.

182
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 1: Pro sports you should start to lose it when you're

183
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: thirty six, thirty seven, thirty eight years old. You shouldn't

184
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: just kick the ship out of everyone till you're forty five.

185
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: There's a reason we quote unquote it's a young man's game.

186
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: There's a reason when you watch Patrick Mahomes, you go

187
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: he's playing a different sport than Philip Rivers. Now, clearly

188
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: he's more physically gifted, but Mahomes dislocates his knee, dislocates

189
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: his kneecap in like three weeks back, just throwing ropes

190
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: on Monday Night football, like it's no big deal run around.

191
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: He wouldn't have been able to do that if he

192
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 1: was Rivers age. I I just think we're watching Rivers

193
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: body kind of go out on him. And what do

194
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: the Chargers do? They're gonna he's a free agent. The

195
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: Charger is so cheap they won't want to let him

196
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: just walk for anything. But who's trading them anything of value?

197
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: Like you're not probably gonna be able to franchise and

198
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: then trade him. I get the Chargers a lot of ship,

199
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: but I will give them credit of not extending him,

200
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: because I wouldn't want him extended for a couple more years.

201
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: I think you have to just move on now. It's

202
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: not easy. It's never easy to find a quarterback. They're

203
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: gonna win six seven games. I know they're where they

204
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: four and seven, so they'll probably end up, you know,

205
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: six and ten, maybe seven and nine. So they're not

206
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: gonna be drafting super high. Maybe two of falls in

207
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: the hip checks out and they draft a guy like TWA.

208
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: But it's it's over for Rivers. He's just this new

209
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: you know, stand Cronky's Stadiums stands already tired of Dean.

210
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: I don't blame him. He's just a leech. But I

211
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: don't think we'll ever see Rivers play a game in

212
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: that stadium. I don't know where Rivers is gonna play.

213
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: I think the Bears, even this version of Rivers, would

214
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: take him to a heartbeat. I think the Titans would

215
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: be interested, though. Ryan Tannehill is currently playing better. You know,

216
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: I don't think he's really Bruce arians type quarterback, but

217
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: he's just he's killing him right now. You can't turn

218
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: the ball over that much in a game that wasn't

219
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: even that high scoring, Like if Rivers just throws two

220
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: picks instead of four, who knows Chargers might win. He's

221
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: just a turnover machine and he gets in these ruts

222
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: where he's just throwing the ball to the other team.

223
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: And there's one thing I always said this about Kaepernick,

224
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: and I'm not this is not a Kaepernick current topic,

225
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: but back in the day, he'd have a lot of

226
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: interceptible balls, but he was throwing the ball so freaking hard.

227
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: If we use a baseball analogy, it was like got

228
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: ud ten mile in our fastball. I think the heart

229
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: it is to pick that ball off. So we had

230
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: a lot of balls go off their hands. We see

231
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: it sometimes like with Roger for every pick far through,

232
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: they're a bunch of probably got dropped. Rivers throws the

233
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: most interceptible ball in the league because it just floats

234
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: up there. It's just you and I could catch it.

235
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: And when his accuracy is gone, which in his touch,

236
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: and that's man Manning. That last year was way worse

237
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: because his body really left him, but his touch and accuracy,

238
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: like you're you're anticipation to me, never leaves like Manning was.

239
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: I went to the games when Charles Woodson picked him

240
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: off twice. He could anticipate, he could see it but

241
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: he couldn't execute it. Like I think Rivers sees it.

242
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: He knows what he wants, he just can't do it.

243
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 1: And for whatever reason, he's also throwing these yolo balls

244
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: up NonStop that like Mahomes isn't doing that. Like, why

245
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: are you doing this, Philip? I get like the last

246
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: drive when you have nothing to play for, But in

247
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: like the middle of the third quarter, why are you

248
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: just throwing the ball up? I don't get it. The

249
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: Chargers are a disaster franchise right now. They're moving to

250
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: l A. No one cares about him. Their own are

251
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: so cheap, their quarterback situations up in flux. Their head

252
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: coach is surely to get fired. I mean, think about

253
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Their coach and GM and quarterback are going nowhere.

254
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: Even the Raiders there, their head coach and general manager

255
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: are going nowhere. Cars earned his spot next year. Uh.

256
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 1: The Denver Broncos are kind of in shambles, and the

257
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: Charges are in shambles, But the Chargers were in the

258
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: most shambles because at least the Denver Broncos have a

259
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: big fan base in Denver. Not a soul cares about

260
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 1: the Chargers in l A. I went to school with

261
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: a lot of San Diego people when I went to Calipoly,

262
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: and I get it's like some southern California surftown. They

263
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: loved the Chargers. That they really did. People I knew

264
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: were very very passionate about the Chargers. And Dean Spanners

265
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: flipped the middle finger, though, uh and it's kind of sad,

266
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: and he didn't quite handle the move as smooth like

267
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: even Mark Davis, who flipped the middle finger to Oakland

268
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: and the fans, has handled a little bit better because

269
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: I do think he kind of kind of likes them

270
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: and appreciates them. I think Dean is just so petty

271
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: that he's he's burned any equity he had with the

272
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 1: people down in southern California, and now his quarterback, like

273
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: his best asset, is diminishing by the game. They're screwed.

274
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: You're watching the franchise that I was thinking today, like

275
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: do they think about maybe just getting rid of Rivers

276
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: and maybe trading like Melvin Melvin Ingram try to get

277
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: like a first round pick and just really start over,

278
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: just hit the reset button, or Keenan Allen maybe get

279
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: two first round picks for both of them and and

280
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: legitimately start over. The problem is you can't go into

281
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: l A and hit the reset button. You think I'll

282
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: talk about it later. That no one cares about the

283
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: Rams right now, and there's six and four. You think

284
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna care about the five and eleven. Rebuilding Chargers

285
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: doesn't work. That's why they screwed up. They never should

286
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: have moved. You could have pulled it off in San Diego.

287
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: You can't pull it off in l A. The Chargers man,

288
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: the story of the night was just Philip Rivers and

289
00:14:55,440 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: the Chargers franchise implosion. Okay, let's get into the UH.

290
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: The re establishment of John Harbaugh as an elite coach.

291
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: And I think that John and Jim share a similarity

292
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: in this respect. I think they're like a lot of people.

293
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: You know, Belichick is an all time outlier. There's nothing

294
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: he can do in his field. He can coach, he

295
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: can pick players, he can negotiate contracts. He's like a

296
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: He's like a gym teacher meets an economic major, meets

297
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: UH scouting director all in one. That's unique. But most

298
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: guys aren't that skilled. And he's not just in football.

299
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: I'm talking in golden sacks. Some guys are better at

300
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: creating algorithms that will pump out the cash, while others

301
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: are better at going to a meeting and shutting and

302
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: locking down a deal. Right, We're all good at certain

303
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: things and bad at others. And anytime you read you

304
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: know about successful people, they always tell you stop doing

305
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: the things you're shitty at, just focus on what you're

306
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: really good at. And the hard balls have consistently shown

307
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: their really good motivators. They are raw, raw guys. It's

308
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: kind of their stick. And when I say stick, I

309
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: mean it's a good thing. That's what they hang their

310
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: hat on. Leading the troops into battle toughness. I mean.

311
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh has been popped countless times in Baltimore for

312
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: practicing too hard in O t A s. Remember he

313
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: got in trouble for wearing pads at ot as something

314
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: that you obviously can't do. He did it anyway. They're crazy,

315
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: they're nuts, but they're good at it. And when they

316
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: have talented teams and talented coaching staffs, they dominate. Look

317
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: at what John Harbaugh has done with his coaching staff

318
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: when he drafted Lamar Jackson, who did he ultimately end

319
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: up with his as as his offensive coordinator. The guy

320
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: that had the most success probably ever for a running quarterback,

321
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: Greg Roman. Coach Colin Kaepernick was there with Jim Harbaugh.

322
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: Also sneaky coach Alex Smith to you know, resurrected his

323
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: career in two thousand eleven and then changed the game

324
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: with Kaepernick winning playoff games with a guy that was

325
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,959
Speaker 1: running all over teams used to just gash Green Bay

326
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: in the playoffs on the ground. Uh. No other coordinator

327
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 1: has really that on his resume of actually winning games,

328
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: big games on the road or at home. In January

329
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 1: with the running quarterback great Roman did. He has Wink Martindale,

330
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 1: who is clearly one of the best defensive coordinators in

331
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: the sport. I thought Wink took Deshaun Watt, what a

332
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,239
Speaker 1: great nickname to Deshaun Watson. Bill O'Brien took him out

333
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: behind the wood shed and kicked their ass. I watched

334
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: that game start to finish, and it was a full

335
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: blown ass whooping. They killed him. They demolished Deshaun Watson.

336
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: They had him spinning, they had him holding onto the

337
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: ball too long. They destroyed him Hardbuz assembled a really,

338
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: really good coaching staff when it comes to his two coordinators,

339
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: because those guys are dominating right now. And that's the

340
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: one thing with Jim and John, and definitely John, they

341
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 1: don't call the offense and they don't call the defense.

342
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: They are just leaders now when they lead, and they

343
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: have the right coaching staff kind of you know, because

344
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: they're not micro, they can't do anything they do. You

345
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: think John Harbon knows the offense, maybe he knows some

346
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: of the defensive calls. It's it's winks, baby, just like

347
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: with Jim Harbaugh it was Fangio and Greg Romans. Baby.

348
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: Now he liked coaching the quarterbacks and playing catch. He

349
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: was not calling the place. Never has been back to Stanford.

350
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: That's not his deal. Now at Michigan with the dude

351
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: gaddess from Alabama, you ain't calling the planes anymore either,

352
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: never called the police. That's not the hard boss deals

353
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: they lead. John's note for like samurai swords in the middle.

354
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: You know of the locker room, and he's great at it.

355
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: I'd like to play for John Harball. He's a high

356
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: level guy. But what he's doing right now with his

357
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: two coordinators is what the hard boss do best at.

358
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: When they get the right people surrounded around them, and

359
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: then they've picked the right players and Lamar Jackson's becoming

360
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: a superstar. But look at the move they go to

361
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: get Peters, Uh, they get mark Ingram who's having a

362
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 1: good season. They draft well Mark Andrews, they got Marquis

363
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown, who's going to continue to play a bigger factor.

364
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: Their defensive line has some no name guys that are

365
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 1: making some place. I've been really impressed. But they hang

366
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: their hat on on not being afraid to hire coaches

367
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: that are gonna interview potentially every year for head jobs.

368
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: You know that they have no problem. Jim used to

369
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: fight in San Francisco to make his coaching staff the

370
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 1: highest paid coaching staff in the NFL. And he did

371
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: it for a reason. He knew he needed him. He

372
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: couldn't afford to lose Vic Fangio. He couldn't, just like

373
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: he can't afford to lose Don Brown in Michigan. He

374
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: he needs those guys. John Arbon knows how critical his

375
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: coaching staff is to his success because he's seen the

376
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:50,719
Speaker 1: last couple of years when he's kind of run through

377
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: some offensive coordinators and the Flacco and it just didn't work.

378
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: And now he's got the perfect guy, and you hope

379
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: for his sake because it's so much fun to watch.

380
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: The Roman doesn't get a head coaching job, now we'll see.

381
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be cyclical where some defensive coaches get

382
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: head jobs. I'm still a little leery of that. Like

383
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 1: I have a hard time seeing that thinking that did

384
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: a bunch of defensive coaches are gonna get jobs. I

385
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: still think that offensive coaches, I mean the way the

386
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: league is refereed and slash I mean officiated, and the

387
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: way the teams put such a premium on offense, it's

388
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: just easier to coach offense. Now. You can't touch the quarterbacks.

389
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: You can't touch wide receivers over the middle. Uh In,

390
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: Your quarterback is your most important guy in the franchise.

391
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: So why wouldn't you want to hire a coach that

392
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: can handle running quarterbacks? Now? The thing with Greg Roman,

393
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: you would want Greg Roman with the mobile quarterback where

394
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: you go? He has one right now? Who are the

395
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: other mobile quarterbacks in the league? Would the Cowboys take

396
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: a swing on him? Dax a little bit like that,

397
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: But I say DA's become much more of a true passer.

398
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: Kyler's coach is not going anywhere. So maybe there's a

399
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: chance of Greg Roman doesn't get another job at least

400
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: this year. Maybe it's another year. But Harba really needs

401
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: to take advantage of because his brother Jim, when he

402
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: had one of the great coaching staffs of the last

403
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: decade in San Francisco, was not able to win the

404
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: big one. They got close. They went to three straight

405
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: champions or you know, conference championship games. They went to

406
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: the one super Bowl. But you can't keep your coaches forever,

407
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: even if you're willing to pay them a premium. He

408
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,959
Speaker 1: has the perfect staff going right now for his players.

409
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: They got to capitalize this year and and maybe next

410
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: because if they have back to back, you know, twelve

411
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: win seasons and maybe they make a super Bowl, Greg

412
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: Roman's getting ahead job like that, that's inevitable if they

413
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: continue to have this success and it he will not

414
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: be easy to replace because you could argue he's not

415
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 1: really replaceable. Who who else has coached at his level

416
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: with the running quarterback And maybe you'll be able to

417
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: keep Wink Martindale just because, like I said, defensive coaches

418
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: aren't really invoked when it comes to owners. But John

419
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: Harbaugh deserves a lot of credit for surrounding his weakness,

420
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: which is not being able to coach really either side

421
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 1: of the ball. Definitely offense with with the perfect coaches

422
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: for these situations. And he's kind of taking the league

423
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: by storm this year. And the dudes are winner, the

424
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: Hardbaugh family are winners, and he's kind of having a

425
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: muscle flex season this year. You know, I'm probably one

426
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: of the rare guys in media that literally, you know,

427
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 1: talks about football for a living. I don't have the package,

428
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: so I only watched the games at least live what

429
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: television gives me. But now the way the set up

430
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL, I get obviously Thursday Monday, I get

431
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: multiple because I get a radar in the forty niner

432
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 1: game locally, and usually I get one to two other

433
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: games during the day Sunday, and then I get Sunday

434
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: Night football. So if there's one or two big matchups

435
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: like Philly New England, I'll just go back and watch

436
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: it in the on my iPad on a condensed version.

437
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: I can watch it in thirty minutes. So last night,

438
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: get in bed, you know, early, because I want to

439
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: start fast on Monday about and I watched the game

440
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: and you know. I saw a lot about it on Twitter,

441
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: a little bit on the red Zone, but I didn't

442
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: really have the red Zone on because the Raider game

443
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: was on and the Niner game was on, so I

444
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: was pretty locked into those. And then I watched the

445
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: Eagles and the Patriots and I was like, WHOA, Brady

446
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: looked pretty miserable. And he didn't just look miserable. He

447
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: didn't like getting hit. And I thought about it a

448
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: lot today. He's never like it, and no one likes

449
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: getting hit. But the couple of times that he's been

450
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: beat right in the big games, definitely the two to

451
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,959
Speaker 1: the Giants, he got molly wapped. They peppered him all

452
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: game long, and they really threw him off. Well, yesterday

453
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: he threw He had forty seven passing attempts, which is

454
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: not ideal for the Patriots. That's that's a tad bit

455
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: too many. They couldn't really run the ball. But the

456
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: Eagles defensive line was kicking his ass and he looked

457
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: kind of over it. And how could you blame him?

458
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: If I was forty two years old. The older you

459
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: get in life, the less you want to do things

460
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: that you know longer have to do, like I don't

461
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: do manual labor anymore. I mean, unless I absolutely have

462
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: to write. I don't even like I ain't cleaning my

463
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: a condo. I pay someone to do that. I'm not.

464
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: There's a reason I work to just pay for things

465
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: that I do not want to do. I refuse to

466
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: do him. I'm wait, you know, Brady's got seven years

467
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: on me, much more accomplished. I can't even imagine now,

468
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: part of doing stuff and a job, whatever job you

469
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 1: may have, you might eventually have to do some things

470
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: you don't want to do now. Getting hit for Tom

471
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: is a little bit out of his control. But there

472
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 1: is a reason they have always game planned with Brady,

473
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: and I think he's the goat. He gets rid of

474
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: the ball pretty fast. He's not really sackable because he's

475
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: not holding out of the football. But when you're down,

476
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 1: which they were, I think, tend nothing. Uh and then

477
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: they only got you know, at one point in time

478
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 1: it was ten to nine because all they could get

479
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: was field goals. They couldn't even score. Is you have

480
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: to be aggressive offensively, so you can't just go three

481
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: step drops get rid of the football. You got it

482
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: would t up to push the ball a little bit

483
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: down the field, and when they did that, he looked

484
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: freaking miserable because he kept getting pepper and he kept

485
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: getting hit. And if someone dm me after the game, like,

486
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 1: do you notice that Brady was miserable in the press

487
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: conference and Belichick was really happy? I say this over

488
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: and over. I don't think Belichick minds Tom being a

489
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: little miserable. And there were points in times in that

490
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: game where you don't think Tom's washed. But you just

491
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: put two and two together, you go, you know, he's

492
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 1: forty three years old. What's he doing this for? What

493
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: his legacy is entrenched in stone? Six super Bowls? No

494
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: one is ever winning six super Bowls, no quarterback. That

495
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: that's not happening. Just do the math, right now, who's

496
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 1: who's even capable of doing that? Like Mahomes, Well, he

497
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 1: hasn't even won one yet, so he's gonna win six. Russell, well,

498
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: he's only got one. He's gonna win five more super Bowls.

499
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: He's already thirty years old. It's not happening that that

500
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: record is, that record is set. He's made you know,

501
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: actually hasn't made that much money, but he's made much endorsements,

502
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: and he's still made a ton of cash. What what's

503
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: he doing this for his offensive line? And the one

504
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: thing that they've always had to benefit of having is

505
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: the greatest offensive line coach in the history of the NFL,

506
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: Dante's Skarnikia. They've done a very good job of getting

507
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: the right personnel for tom pass catching running backs. They've

508
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: had Gronk forever. They even had Hernandez for a while.

509
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: They've always said Welker or Julian Edelman. They've built to

510
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: his shranks. The problem is, right now, Edelman is still

511
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 1: a stud. They you know, they're depending on Ben Watson.

512
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: They're running backs beside James White are pretty hit or

513
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: mess and if Edelman is not catching the ball, they're

514
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: depending on now Nikkill Harry's back, a guy they just

515
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: traded for, Mohammed Sanu and Jacobe Meyers. Like, it's not

516
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: exactly Troy Brown, Randy Moss, you know on the outside.

517
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: So you see a guy that looks pretty miserable, Well,

518
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna get tougher because think about his playoff run.

519
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to play Baltimore, who has right now,

520
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: they just peppered Deshaun Watson and then whoever he plays

521
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, whether it's the forty Niners whose

522
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: fronts awesome, the Saints fronts pretty damn good, Green bas

523
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 1: fronts not bad at all this year, Like he could

524
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: get legitimately Minnesota they got two stud ends. This could

525
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: be the year where it hit me for the first time,

526
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: does Tom still want to do this? Because what's he

527
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: doing this? Like it's all it's all house money. I

528
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: made a bet two weeks ago for the first time

529
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: in weeks, and I won turn a hundred fifty dollars

530
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: into about eight hundred fifty dollars. And I think a

531
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: lot of times, people including myself, think, well, that's just

532
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: that's just house money. Now you know that one is

533
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: now eight fifty. I'm just playing with house money. No,

534
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: I'm playing that's my money. If I want to deposit

535
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 1: that money into my bank account, I could have pressed

536
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: one button. But what did I do Over the next

537
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 1: ten days? I gambled it all. And as I sit

538
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: here recording this on Monday, it's all gone. Like if

539
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 1: you're Tom, win or lose the Super Bowl this year,

540
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 1: if you can make it out healthy, and let's say

541
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 1: you make it to then FC Championship and Baltimore Beach,

542
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: you or Kansas. Let's say you making the super Bowl

543
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,360
Speaker 1: and you're losing the Super Bowl. Let's even say, worst case,

544
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 1: he does not win a super Bowl but they win

545
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: a playoff game. Maybe you win two playoff games but

546
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: he doesn't win the super Bowl. What are you doing

547
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: this for? Why do you still want to get hit?

548
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: Because you're just your pride. It's all you've ever known

549
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: being a football player. You're Tom freaking Brady. You got

550
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: the world by the balls. Fortune companies will pay you

551
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: to speak. You could probably buy into an NFL team,

552
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: you could become a general manager, you can run a

553
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: media Cup, you can do whatever the hell you want.

554
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: I don't get what he's fighting for. Like I understand

555
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, because Drew's thinking, I want to got to

556
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: go down as one of the great players ever, and

557
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: I only got one super Bowl, Like I I think

558
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: I could win another one. So I get what he's fighting.

559
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: But what does Tom justify at night when he got

560
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: home last night from Philly and even though they won, God,

561
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: that sucked. I got hit over and over and over again.

562
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: And it's just not all we is gonna be that

563
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: easy of just getting rid of the football really fast,

564
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: and sometimes they may fall down, so you're gonna be

565
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: forced to throw the ball. I like Sony Michelle coming

566
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: out of college, but he hasn't exactly been Walter Payton

567
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: since coming in the league. It's it's now the Grons gone.

568
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: It's a little more difficult. Edelman is always gonna get

569
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: open for him. But the first time that it hit

570
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: me is I'm not so certain he's coming back next season. Okay,

571
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: let's let's dive into a devastating injury that happened on Saturday,

572
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: and that was to a Tonga by loa dislocated as hip,

573
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: the same injury I guess that Bo Jackson had, though

574
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: after reading about it today, it turns out one major

575
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: difference is Bo did it and kept playing through, so

576
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: he made it way worse. We're too, uh, just from

577
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: what I've read, who had successful surgery today? The differences.

578
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: It happens and he immediately had surgery on it. So

579
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: the doctor, I don't just a couple of state school

580
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: degrees here, BI this in sports management, so I don't

581
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: even pretend to know or comprehend the the impact of

582
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: the injury. How seamless to rehab I don't know, but

583
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: the doctors at least have made it sound like you

584
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: can come back full strength from it. And luckily, you know,

585
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: he's twenty one years old. If you're ever going to

586
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: have an injury like this, you'd rather do it when

587
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: you're twenty one than thirty five or whatever. I mean.

588
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: Look at Roethlisberger has Tommy John It looks like he's

589
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: added forty pounds in a month. And as Carson Palmer said,

590
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: you know, it's much different tearing your a c L

591
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: when you're twenty five than when you're thirty six. It

592
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: it wears on you because your body doesn't return. So

593
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: if you're ever gonna have a major injury, it's good

594
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: to have it, you know, at this stage of his career,

595
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: because he can battle back from it. Hell, remember Nick Chubb,

596
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: who's one of the best running backs in the league,

597
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: had a pretty major injury a couple of years ago,

598
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: and he's he's okay, you know you can your your

599
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: body recovers faster. But it's pretty clear this is a massive,

600
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: massive injury. For the ramifications of the draft, I do

601
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: think to Uh somewhat was getting unfairly crushed for his

602
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: play like he's the best eat ball thrower in the country.

603
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: He is really really accurate, and you know, it's just

604
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: it looks a little different when you're left handed, but

605
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: he gets rid of the football really quick. He has

606
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: a lot of positives now. His negative before Saturday was

607
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: his ankles. And people forget this, but early on in

608
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: Steph Curry's career he had like chronic ankle injuries and

609
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: eventually they overcame it with surgery and special shoes, and

610
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: he's never really had a problem since. Like he's rolled

611
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: his ankle, but he's never had ankle injuries that just

612
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: ruined his season once they kind of honed in on,

613
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: but that was gonna be a major red flag, like

614
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: the number one thing you talk about with a super

615
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: elite player, and you would nit pick his game for sure.

616
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: But the injury factor and the hardest thing for a

617
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: general manager to do is gauged, like you're just trying

618
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: to at a percentage. I have been in these meetings

619
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: and you're talking back when I was there. Concussions, we

620
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: knew a lot less about it, but they were bad.

621
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: Like if you had a concussion history, teams wouldn't mess

622
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: with you if But sometimes doctors would red flag and

623
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: knee at the combine for for the team I was with,

624
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: and then the team the next team would give them

625
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: the okay, the bill of health, so that there is

626
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: a lot that is out of the hands of general managers.

627
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: Like if your team doctor, let's just use an example

628
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: of forty their team doctors are Stanford Med so in theory,

629
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: the best in the country. If the if the doctor

630
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: looks at Trent Balky used to take a c L

631
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: guys all the time. I'm going to imagine that the

632
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: doctor says, this guy is going to make a full recovery,

633
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: so Trent would draft him, and then it turns out

634
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: a lot of them did not. But I guess nowadays

635
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: there is a risk verse reward. You have to put

636
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: somewhat of a probability go well, we think to uh,

637
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: and you're just using the doctor's information, is sent likely

638
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: to be full health or seventy? Like if if he's like,

639
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: you know, I think he's gonna be full health, but

640
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: I wouldn't get anywhere near close to a percent. It

641
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: would be really hard to draft number one overall. But

642
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: let's assume that pretty confident over he's gonna be a

643
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: full bill of health. I think this injury factored in

644
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 1: with his ankles immediately pushes him below Joe Burrow, who's

645
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: likely going to be the number one pick and go

646
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: to Cleveland, which, excuse me, not Cleveland, Sorry, Brown's fancier

647
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: four and six Cincinnati, Ohio kids. Cincinnati drafts him, it

648
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: would be fascinating. And Carson Palmer talked about this too,

649
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: like it might be worth taking a stand and saying

650
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: I refused to go to Cincinnati, I would not blame him.

651
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: And then Justin Herbert who has kind of flexed his

652
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: muscles and had a massive comeback though now with two

653
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: of being out and more than likely if Oregon beat Utah,

654
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: they will be the four seed that l s U

655
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: Oregon one verse four potential first playoff game would be

656
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: like an NFL GM that needs a quarterback wet dream.

657
00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's a big time. You get both

658
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: quarterback that might go one two on the same field.

659
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: But when you look at to Uh, he is going

660
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: to be a very very tough evaluation because, like I said,

661
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: he was already red flagged for the ankle stuff before this,

662
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: and this is a major injury. You know, even if

663
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: he is coming back from full health. You go, when

664
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: you look at the play, I wouldn't call it an

665
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,720
Speaker 1: innocuous tackle. It was a pretty big, pretty physical tackle

666
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: watching the replay where multiple guys fell on him. So

667
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: it's just sometimes when multiple guys fall on you, there

668
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 1: are three plus pounds, clavicles break like folds, and romo

669
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: guys get hurt. It's not the first time, and it

670
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: definitely won't be the last time. But I would struggle

671
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: as a GM if I was in the quarterback you know,

672
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: uh market, and I needed to acquire a guy, how

673
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: confident I would be that this player could just maintain

674
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: his health. And it's the great unknown with drafting. It's

675
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: why I actually think that this injury, if he does

676
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: return from health, can really benefit to us because he

677
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: might end up with a team. And I was reading

678
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 1: Outbert Rear today and he talked with a couple like

679
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: scouting directors who basically said that Herbert and Burrow definitely

680
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: jumped him, but if all goes well, he should still

681
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: be a lock first round pick. Well, to me, a

682
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: lock first round pick. Does that mean the Chargers get

683
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: him at pick sixteen, the Colts get him at pick

684
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: twenty two, he somehow false to like the Patriots at

685
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: pick thirty, like this could be the best thing that

686
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 1: ever happened to us. Now, And I know Coward talked

687
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: about this on money. It might cost him a little

688
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: more money off the jump. And that first contract as

689
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: a number one or number two overall pick is really lucrative.

690
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 1: I think people always talk about all the the the

691
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 1: new CB a hurt the the top draft picks. Now

692
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: you get a four year guaranteed deal if you're you know,

693
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: a first round pick, and if you're a really high pick.

694
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: I think Lamar or not Lamar Jackson, but uh, Lamar

695
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 1: Jackson a couple of years ago as the thirty second pick,

696
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 1: made as much money on his rookie deal as Kyler

697
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,439
Speaker 1: Murray made as the ninth pick in the Major League

698
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 1: Baseball draft. I think Kyler almost quadrupled his baseball signing bonus,

699
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 1: which was around nine million, to what he got last

700
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: years the number one overall pick, which I think was

701
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 1: like million dollars. So yeah, the difference of going pick

702
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: twenty and number two are have big financial you know, ramifications.

703
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 1: But if you go to a healthy organization, and I'm

704
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: gonna give Colin credit again on this one. Think how

705
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 1: much Lamar benefited from ending up in Baltimore. So yeah,

706
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 1: the Ravens cost. You know, he fell in the draft

707
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 1: and went the last pick of the first round and

708
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: made nine million instead of going where Josh Rosen you know,

709
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: went at like pick ten and probably making twenty million,

710
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: so that there was a big financial swing. Think how

711
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 1: much better his careers off. Hell, you could look at

712
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, who went three overall has been with the

713
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: freaking Jets. Like talking about quarter a place a quarterback

714
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,720
Speaker 1: this I want to go. That's not exactly an ideal

715
00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:00,320
Speaker 1: landing spot. You could say by far, La rs in

716
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: the best situation to get the most out of his

717
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: talents and to win. Because you could say Kyler is

718
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: in a really good situation with Cliff Kingsbury and I'll

719
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: get to Kylie a little bit later. He looks awesome,

720
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: But when does that team ever gonna be good? Their

721
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 1: defense stinks, They're depending on vance Joseph Cliff. While he's

722
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: a dynamic kind of offensive play caller, he never went

723
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 1: in college, so what's to ever think that he's gonna

724
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: be able to win in the pros? Like Lamar's got

725
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: John freaking Harbaugh, who's a super Bowl champion and for

726
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: a long period of time before the last couple of

727
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: years of you do just like a top three or

728
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 1: four coach. So what if you're too a tongue Valoa

729
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: and you end up charges would be a bad po

730
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: spot because they probably have a new coach and you

731
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to play for Dean Spanos. I would pull

732
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: a you know, a Eli Manning and refused to go there.

733
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 1: But what if you go to Indie? What if you

734
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: go to New England? What if you go to you know,

735
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: some of these places that maybe have a Pittsburgh that's

736
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: gonna need a quarterback. I guess Pittsburgh doesn't have a

737
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: first round pick. But how what if Miami actually, what

738
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 1: if they can get him with the second pick? You know,

739
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 1: they use their first round pick on Chase Young, draft

740
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: him number three, and then use him pick sixteen. Now

741
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: that's is Miami a well run organization? I think you

742
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: have to give Brian Flores some credit. Their team plays

743
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 1: their ass off and they might have made the wrong

744
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: the right move big picture selling Now we'll see if

745
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 1: they can draft the right players. But you know, if

746
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 1: two is gonna be okay, and that's no one will

747
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 1: know this. I mean, not not the doctors, not to

748
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: not anybody. It's a it's a guessing game. The draft

749
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: in general is is a massive guest. Like, if you

750
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: take Joe Burrow, you pray to God he's gonna be

751
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: what we saw at L s U. But what if

752
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: he's the guy that couldn't beat out Dwayne Haskins, who

753
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: his teammates in Washington clearly don't like. What if he's

754
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:40,800
Speaker 1: the guy that wasn't that good two years ago for

755
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 1: L s U. What if it was just the perfect marriage.

756
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 1: And that's the thing with coaching, Sometimes you just get

757
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: a perfect marriage of coach meets player and some of

758
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 1: your surrounding teammates. So, you know, I think all of

759
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 1: our heart dropped because Tah is easily the best quarterback

760
00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: of the saving era. It's not even there's not even

761
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: a close second. I mean, he's on a different tier

762
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: than every single one of those guys. If you combine

763
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: them all, they don't they don't hold it to his jock.

764
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: So anytime you see a guy being basically carried off

765
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: the field. But the one thing you see some of

766
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: these videos going viral the day of him playing the

767
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: little guitar and his hospital bed. He's in good spirits

768
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: and luckily being young, you know, we keep her fingers crossed.

769
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: He'll bounce back, and I think he if he goes

770
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: to the right spot, and clearly he probably gonna fall

771
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: a little bit in the draft, he may end up

772
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: even better off. Big picture that this happened. Okay, let's

773
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 1: dive into I wanted to rank my top five NFC

774
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 1: teams because right now the NFC is far superior than

775
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: the a f C. It's not even close. I mean,

776
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 1: there is a chance that at eight and eight team

777
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,399
Speaker 1: wins the sixth seed. More than likely, it'll probably nine

778
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: and seven, but it wouldn't shock me. Of eight and

779
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: eight wins, there's a decent chance that the six seed

780
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: in the NFC could be twelve wins. So every team

781
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: in the NFC, beside the NFC East, which is gonna

782
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 1: win the division and be the four seed, could be

783
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: like a twelve win Minnesota team and a twelve win

784
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 1: Seattle team in some order. They actually played each other,

785
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 1: I think in a couple of weeks. Now, the great

786
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 1: part about all these teams the Saints in no particular,

787
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: Minnesota Seattle, Green Bay, San Francisco. Is they all play

788
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 1: each other. The Saints and the Niners played each other

789
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks. UH. The Niners play the

790
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: Packers this week, and then they play Seattle the end

791
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 1: the season. Minnesota still plays Green Bay and Seattle, UH

792
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 1: and the Rams, which is no pushover, and green Bay

793
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: still plays the Niners obviously in Minnesota. So it's all

794
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: gonna play itself out. But here's how I would rank it.

795
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 1: Right now. Obviously the Niners are the one, The Packers, Saints, technically,

796
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: the Tube and the Seattle all eight and two. UH, Minnesota,

797
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 1: and then the Dallas would be there too. Here's how

798
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: I would go. I would rank number one. I know

799
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 1: that they have two losses and the Niners have one,

800
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: but I would put New Orleans number one. They have

801
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl winning coach, They have the most complete

802
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: team when you factor in they got Drew Brees, and

803
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:24,720
Speaker 1: to me, that's the difference between the Niners and the Saints.

804
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: Now that might I might change my opinion if the

805
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: Niners going to New Orleans obviously beat him, but on paper,

806
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:34,399
Speaker 1: when I factor in their resume, their coach, they were

807
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 1: just in the NFC Championship game last year. They've won playoffs,

808
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: several playoff games the last couple of years, and Drew

809
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 1: Brees clearly, I mean, just this isn't breaking news. More

810
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: accomplished than Jimmy Garoppolo. The other thing that the problem

811
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: for the Niners, which is also it's not that big

812
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 1: a deal to me. I can live with interceptions if

813
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,760
Speaker 1: you do two things. If you make plays and every

814
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,359
Speaker 1: time you get this royd you just keep popping up.

815
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: And those are the two things Jimmy Garoppolo does. His

816
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 1: toughness is off the charts. You can hit him as

817
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: hard as you want and he gets up. Unless you

818
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: break a shoulder or tears e c L. He you can't.

819
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 1: He just hops right. He is not afraid of contact,

820
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 1: as Herm Edwards uses the term contact courage. Now he's

821
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: not a defender, so someone's coming at him, but he

822
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: is not afraid to sit in the pocket and deliver balls.

823
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 1: He will also make big time plays. He will give

824
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: it away though, as someone tweeted at me yesterday, Jimmy

825
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: is not throwing interceptions. He is throwing completions to the

826
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,280
Speaker 1: opposition because he's hitting the guys in stride. So anytime

827
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: you're just inclined to throw picks, you will lose yourself

828
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: a playoff game. He threw two second half picks yesterday. Now,

829
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: luckily they were playing the Cardinals and they were at

830
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: home and they were able to overcome it. But if

831
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: you're playing the Packers, you're playing the Saints in a

832
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: playoff game, you're not gonna be able to overcome that.

833
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: And every game just two weeks ago, when he was

834
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: playing Seattle, I guess it was basically a week ago. Yesterday,

835
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 1: he could have thrown multiple picks on the game tying

836
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,439
Speaker 1: drive to the end of regulation. So he he will

837
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 1: throw the ball, turn the ball over. But the Niners

838
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: defense is awesome. Kyle Shanahan is an elite play collar.

839
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: When they get Kittle back, If Emmanuel Sanders can overcome

840
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,320
Speaker 1: this rib injury or whatever, they're they're legit. The Niners

841
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,800
Speaker 1: are no joke. But I would put them behind the

842
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: Saints just based on resume and based off just an

843
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,240
Speaker 1: unknown with Jimmy Garoppolo, he has made as many starts

844
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: to Sam Donald, So I I give the Saints the

845
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: slight edge, then I would have the Packers. Now you

846
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: could say how do you even rank the Packers and

847
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 1: the Niners. If you're a Packer fan and you said

848
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: I would put them if they beat the Niners, they're

849
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,280
Speaker 1: clearly going above them. I would say, yes, I would agree,

850
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,760
Speaker 1: but given that they got one loss and the Packers

851
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: got to I'm putting them ahead of the Packers. Now.

852
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,479
Speaker 1: The great thing is, it's all right here, this team

853
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 1: that's Sunday Night football. All the chips are in the

854
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: middle of the table. Let's see what you got. It's

855
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 1: really expensive to get in, as you know the game.

856
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,879
Speaker 1: I went to a week ago with a season ticket

857
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:04,839
Speaker 1: holder who has four tickets. He told me he sold

858
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,240
Speaker 1: this game in the off season for a big profit

859
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: because they're gonna be a lot of Packer fans there.

860
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 1: It's not just gonna be read everywhere. There will be

861
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: a lot of green This game is a big time

862
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 1: But they scared me because anytime you got Aaron Rodgers

863
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: like to me the Niners. If you told me the

864
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 1: Niners are going to win the NFC, and probably the

865
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 1: same thing with the Saints, I would say they need

866
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:28,320
Speaker 1: home field advantage. You could argue that the Packers, like

867
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: if Green Bay had to play San Francisco in the

868
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:34,280
Speaker 1: second round of the playoffs at Levi Stadium, Like, Rogers

869
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: would be fine in seventy degrees. He would actually probably

870
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: thrive in that environment. Or Rogers in the dome, Like

871
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 1: that's pretty conducive to him. You could argue that if

872
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: they got home field advantage, that the weather, how cold

873
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 1: it gets in in Green Bay, you know, in January

874
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 1: negative whatever, kind of neutralizes his strength, which is incredible playmaking.

875
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 1: Now for the first time in a long time, they

876
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,839
Speaker 1: have an excellent running game. Uh, you know, they're running

877
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: back in eleven rushing touch downs. Their defensive solid so

878
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 1: that they are built to play in the cold, but

879
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 1: they're they're really built to play in the dome or

880
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,919
Speaker 1: in just a warm weather environment. Number four, I would

881
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 1: have Seattle. Uh, they would be another team I would

882
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 1: want no part of it in a big game. Now,

883
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,839
Speaker 1: the Saints, the San Francisco forty Niners, and the Green

884
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,839
Speaker 1: Bay Packers, their rosters top to bottom are much better

885
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 1: than Seattle. But Russell Wilson's a magician and Pete co

886
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,919
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll has won countless big games the last twenty years,

887
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: all those years at USC than all these years at Seattle.

888
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: I think the New England Patriots have nineteen straight seasons

889
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: of winning football. The number the second team with the

890
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: most consecutive winning seasons in Seattle was seven and this

891
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 1: year will be eight. So all they do is win.

892
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: And Pete Carroll's won a Super Bowl, He's coached in

893
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: countless big games over the last decade in the in

894
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,399
Speaker 1: the NFL, I'm not even counting sc that they would

895
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: scare me. And you know if they don't win the division,

896
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: they will have to go on the road. Can you

897
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 1: imagine getting them as like if your Dallas or Green

898
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,320
Speaker 1: Bay and you gotta you gotta play Russell Wilson in

899
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 1: round one. That's tough, that is. And then Minnesota, who

900
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: actually I have You could argue that Minnesota and Seattle

901
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: are interchangeable because Minnesota's roster is better than Seattle. To me,

902
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: that the difference is just their coach is much more

903
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 1: accomplished and their quarterback is in a different world. But

904
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 1: Becausin's playing well. And I was shocked when Denver with

905
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: feeling out. You have to double team Dicks. Digs changed

906
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,800
Speaker 1: that game for him. You can't let him hit big plays.

907
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 1: He's their only go to guy in a situation where

908
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:35,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna throw bombs and then let it happen multiple

909
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,439
Speaker 1: times in that game in the game flipped, but their

910
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 1: two defensive ends can change the game. Zimmer, you give

911
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 1: him a week to game plan is a mother. Uh,

912
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 1: Minnesota is good. If you told me right now Minnesota

913
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,839
Speaker 1: wins the NFC, I would not be shocked. Now from

914
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 1: the five seed to win the NFC would be really hard, right,

915
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,320
Speaker 1: you have to beat Dallas, then you probably have to

916
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:00,040
Speaker 1: beat San Francisco or the Saints, and then you'd have

917
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: to beat the Saints. Just go again like that, all

918
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 1: on the road. That would be I mean, it's good

919
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: of an accomplishment since like Eli did it years ago

920
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 1: to win three straight road games to get making the

921
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: super Bowl in a division which is clearly top heavy.

922
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,240
Speaker 1: But when you just factor in your top five teams

923
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: because the a f C doesn't have this the Patriots,

924
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,879
Speaker 1: this is the most flawed good Patriot team I think

925
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 1: we've seen of this like twenty years of a team

926
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 1: that could legitimately win the Super Bowl. You're like, well,

927
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: they have no explosive passing game and their offensive lines

928
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 1: kind of been shambles. The Ravens. You go, well, is Lamar,

929
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 1: can you really light people up in the playoff games? Now?

930
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 1: Maybe you can. The Chiefs defensively there in shambles. As

931
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 1: of recording at the Monday night football hasn't happened yet.

932
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 1: Uh the a f C South, I mean that game.

933
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 1: The Texans play the Colts this week, but both those

934
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:52,840
Speaker 1: two teams are really really flawed. The the NFC is

935
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 1: rolling out five teams, and you could throw Dallas in

936
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 1: there too. Dallas is rosters big time since their coach sucks.

937
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 1: But the Saints, the Niners, Green Bay, Seattle, Minnesota, and

938
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, this list, I mean,

939
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,839
Speaker 1: it's could dramatically look different in three weeks all these

940
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 1: teams play each other. So if you're an NFC fan,

941
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:12,919
Speaker 1: and that's I'm an NFC fan before I'm an ANFC fan,

942
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:17,240
Speaker 1: I I can't wait because this whoever's gonna win the NFC,

943
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:22,240
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be the Super Bowl favorite. Okay,

944
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,760
Speaker 1: let's just jump around things I saw around the weekend.

945
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 1: Start with Kyler Murray. He's good, Uh, he's really good.

946
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: He throws frozen ropes, he's accurate, he's really explosive for

947
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 1: a little midget. He's pretty dynamic in the pocket. He's

948
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 1: excellent throwing on the run. He's played really well at

949
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 1: two games I've seen him play against the Niners and

950
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 1: just other games i've watched him. He's good. That there's

951
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: just he's just good. I think I if you said

952
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:51,839
Speaker 1: who would you take for the next ten years, Kyler

953
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: Murray or Baker Mayfield, I wouldn't even hesitate. I'd take

954
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and I like Baker. I think Kyler has

955
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 1: a chance. If you told me is he gonna make

956
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 1: over under two and a half Pro Bowls, I'd probably

957
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 1: take the over. I'm telling you, I am very bullish

958
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:09,320
Speaker 1: on this player. He he is good. The Houston Texans,

959
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:12,799
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to overreact to just one game because

960
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 1: they got their butts kicked by a good Ravens team.

961
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:17,360
Speaker 1: But they are a flawed good team. I mean that

962
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 1: they'll more than likely win the division, though they play

963
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 1: the Colts this weekend and the Colts have already beat him.

964
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,400
Speaker 1: But they'll more than likely make the playoffs. But they

965
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,840
Speaker 1: got issues. They can't really cover anybody. Uh. They have

966
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: one really dynamic offensive player in Hopkins. They're running back stink.

967
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:35,919
Speaker 1: Their second and third wide receivers are just average. Their

968
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,840
Speaker 1: team speed on defense is not great with J. J.

969
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:43,359
Speaker 1: Watton and injured and Clowney traded. Their their defensive pass

970
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: rush isn't kind of non existent. They got issues man

971
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 1: that they are Bill O'Brien mortgage the future to get

972
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:53,720
Speaker 1: Laramie Tunzill who's been banged up. I know he played

973
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 1: against the Ravens. But they got problems. And on the

974
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 1: flip side is Indie. They just find a way after

975
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: lose or play a bad game to win. They have

976
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 1: a lot of heart. Uh, they're well coached. They've got

977
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 1: a lot of tough guys on their team. Big game

978
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 1: this weekend against Houston. It's at Houston Thursday night. That's

979
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 1: a I'm not a big a f C South guy.

980
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,280
Speaker 1: It kind of bores me, but just because the matchups,

981
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,400
Speaker 1: it always feels a little blow at least since like

982
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 1: Peyton left. Uh, this game, I'm pretty excited for the

983
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: Colts and the Texans. This is a big boy game.

984
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:29,800
Speaker 1: Whoever wins. If Houston wins, there in the kind of

985
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 1: the driver's seat. If Indie wins, Houston might be screwed.

986
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:34,880
Speaker 1: They could still make the playoffs because if they get

987
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 1: to eight or nine wins, they'll have the tiebreaker over

988
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 1: the Raiders. But yeah, it's it's a big game. And

989
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 1: I gotta give props to Indie. Whenever they lose a game,

990
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 1: they always come back swinging that they really they have

991
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 1: a lot of resolve with the guys they have the Bengals,

992
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,280
Speaker 1: they might go on sixteen. Uh, they played hard against

993
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Joe Mixon made some plays, Geno Atkins was active.

994
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: Uh that they do have some decent dvs Wlliam Jackson

995
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:02,360
Speaker 1: guy is actually not terrible to do. They draft in

996
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 1: the first round from Houston a couple of years ago,

997
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 1: but ever since benching Andy Dalton. I just I don't

998
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 1: see them winning a game that they're gonna be the

999
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 1: first L and six team team since the since the

1000
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions and the Raiders are six and four now.

1001
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 1: They got a big game this weekend at New York,

1002
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 1: just in the sense that they got to go on

1003
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,399
Speaker 1: the road. It's a long road trip. It's gonna be cold,

1004
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 1: Derek has not played historically well. And inclement weather even

1005
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 1: and when I say inclement weather, I'm not talking snow

1006
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 1: and sleet. I'm just talking thirty degrees. It's it's seventy

1007
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:33,840
Speaker 1: degrees outside my window right now in the Raiders practice,

1008
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 1: twenty minutes away from where I'm sitting, So there's just

1009
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 1: no way to get ready for it. Derek played at Fresno,

1010
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 1: He's from Bakersfield. You know, there's a reason goth and

1011
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 1: Derek don't play well in the weather that they've never

1012
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 1: been around it. They they they're not weather quarterbacks. Tom

1013
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: Brady's just used to Aaron Rodgers guys are used to

1014
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 1: playing in it. These guys in California just aren't. But

1015
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 1: I gotta give Gruden a lot of credit to be six.

1016
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 1: And if you would have told me they'd be six

1017
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 1: and four when they got rid of Antonio Brown, I

1018
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:00,120
Speaker 1: would have bet you a thousand dollars. No chance. I

1019
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,800
Speaker 1: couldn't have been any more wrong on this team. In

1020
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 1: their their office is just good. Josh Jacob is a star.

1021
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:09,400
Speaker 1: Another hundred yard rushing game. Darren Waller is you know,

1022
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 1: can you be the comeback player of the year if

1023
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 1: you never really arrived. He's been a pro bowler, He's

1024
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 1: been great. And Derek Carr is gonna lead this season

1025
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: in completion percentage when it's all said and done. The

1026
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 1: past interference replay is is just listen, I say it

1027
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,280
Speaker 1: over and over. I don't get bothered by it because

1028
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: it's clear they're not overturning pass interference. It's not happening.

1029
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 1: But I do understand why people are mad. You're like, well,

1030
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 1: we can finally challenge it. Why aren't you overturning blatant

1031
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 1: pass interference? And because the letter of the law, it's not.

1032
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 1: It's egregious. It's like the NFC Championship game when the

1033
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 1: dude got taken out. It's not just I bump you,

1034
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 1: uh split second before the ball gets there, and they're

1035
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:52,760
Speaker 1: not overturning it. So as long as coaches keep throwing

1036
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:55,239
Speaker 1: the flag in that situation, they're not gonna get it

1037
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 1: because the referees and the League of have shown their

1038
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:02,239
Speaker 1: true colors that they're just not going to uh to

1039
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 1: overturn pastor and parents that they I think I heard

1040
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:07,760
Speaker 1: someone say yesterday. I think it was like six for forty.

1041
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: So the odds are heavily against you. Do not waste

1042
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 1: a challenge, especially in the second half of the game.

1043
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 1: I gotta tip my hat to Jalen Hurts at Oklahoma.

1044
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:19,439
Speaker 1: He was in Oklahoma was horrendous in the first half,

1045
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:21,719
Speaker 1: was turning the ball over, had a fumble, had to pick.

1046
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 1: It looked like Baylor was gonna blow them out. National television,

1047
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:31,839
Speaker 1: Herb Street, ABC, Everyone's watching Oklahoma was getting their ass kicked.

1048
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 1: The biggest compliment I will pay Jalen Hurts and I

1049
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 1: said this about Jimmy Garoppolo earlier. He is a very,

1050
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:43,800
Speaker 1: very resilient player, unfazed by mistakes. And we talked about

1051
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:45,320
Speaker 1: this a lot in football. I think it works a

1052
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 1: lot for humans. The faster you can get over failures,

1053
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:53,720
Speaker 1: mistakes and just focus on the next, next task, task

1054
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 1: at hand, the easier it is to operate. And no position,

1055
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 1: probably in sports, is it more important than that quarterback.

1056
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 1: He can have a fumble or pick and the next

1057
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 1: drive just lead him right down the field for a touchdown.

1058
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: It's really impressive. They found a way to win that game.

1059
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 1: It was it was cool, it was fun to watch.

1060
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:14,719
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley is a badass. Justin Herbert has really kind

1061
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 1: of solidified himself as a top quarterback these last you

1062
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 1: know month, uh and he has a huge, huge opportunity

1063
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: down the stretch of of playing a couple of Pact

1064
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 1: twelve games, but getting the Pact twelve championship against Utah,

1065
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 1: the best defense in the conference beside Oregon, and then

1066
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:34,240
Speaker 1: playing l s U potentially in the in the playoffs,

1067
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:37,839
Speaker 1: he can make himself he could pass Burrow. I mean

1068
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 1: if he outplays Burrow in that playoff game, assuming they

1069
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 1: play each other. And again he's gotta beat Utah, which

1070
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 1: is gonna be no easy task because Utah is really good.

1071
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,399
Speaker 1: But he's got a huge opportunity in front of him

1072
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 1: because I said about a month ago, I'm like, I

1073
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:53,359
Speaker 1: don't know if he's gonna fall out of the first round,

1074
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 1: but this guy is not a top ten player. Once

1075
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:58,240
Speaker 1: he kind of gets humming and gets into a rhythm,

1076
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 1: he is really really talented, and I think he's re

1077
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 1: established himself as you know, clearly one of the best

1078
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:06,359
Speaker 1: players in the country. But you know, at the top

1079
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 1: of the heat. When it comes to the quarterbacks, the Rams, man,

1080
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 1: I know they won yesterday, but Jared Goff and that

1081
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:14,799
Speaker 1: offensive line kind of a shell of themselves. They're passing games.

1082
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:18,320
Speaker 1: Stinks that they just look kind of blah and in

1083
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 1: l A like the Lakers, they're star driven town and

1084
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 1: football has not been on the forefront of their mind

1085
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:30,320
Speaker 1: for twenty five years. SC football has, but NFL football

1086
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:33,440
Speaker 1: it's different down there, and you could feel it yesterday

1087
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 1: when you turned on the game and the Colisseum it

1088
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:37,799
Speaker 1: felt like they were more Bears fans there than Rams fans.

1089
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:40,919
Speaker 1: The moment you don't win and the moment you're not fun.

1090
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 1: Think about the most famous team in l A history,

1091
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 1: the Showtime Lakers. How much fun the show that was

1092
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: their nickname, the Showtime Lakers. Then Kobe and Shock. You

1093
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 1: can't struggle to score twenty points, even if you got

1094
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 1: a good looking head coach. And I like Sean McVeigh

1095
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 1: and I'm rooting for Jared Goff, but they're gonna put

1096
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:02,279
Speaker 1: people in southern California to sleep. You have to be

1097
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 1: over aggressive to get their attention, to make them want

1098
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 1: to come. Think of what Pete Carroll did in the

1099
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 1: mid two thousands to get people there. It wasn't just

1100
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 1: that it was fun and cool. You were kicking the

1101
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:15,239
Speaker 1: ship out of everybody. Reggie Bush and Lyoner, they were

1102
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 1: scoring forty points with their eyes closed, and then on

1103
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 1: defense they were killing people. They felt they were better

1104
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 1: than some NFL teams. Remember that was when the argument

1105
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 1: first started. Could Alabama or could USC in like oh five,

1106
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:29,279
Speaker 1: Remember the conference beat the Niners, who ended up getting

1107
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:31,719
Speaker 1: the number one pick and they drafted Alex Smith. That

1108
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,399
Speaker 1: is the conversation. I'm watching the Rams and going, ah,

1109
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 1: this is this is boring football. You need to resurrect

1110
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 1: this brand, uh Sean McVeigh. And when I say resurrection,

1111
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:44,760
Speaker 1: I just mean I feel they've lost some brand equity

1112
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 1: this year in their in their area and in California.

1113
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,759
Speaker 1: We're fickle, man. Part of the reason the Forts are

1114
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: so big in they dominate football wives in the state.

1115
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:56,319
Speaker 1: They never left like the Raiders, kept moving and then

1116
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:59,319
Speaker 1: they sucked like the forty Niners have sucked. But they've

1117
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 1: been a staple. They've been consistent, they've never moved, and

1118
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 1: they're the biggest football brand here by a mile. But

1119
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 1: they're also in northern California. We just care more about

1120
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:12,359
Speaker 1: pro football because we've consistently had it for fifty plus

1121
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:15,520
Speaker 1: years and for the most part, had two teams. We're

1122
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 1: in l A. They went twenty five years without a team,

1123
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 1: and you feel it immediately when they're not not just

1124
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 1: because they're not bad, I mean They'll probably have a

1125
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 1: down year this year and be nine and seven, but

1126
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 1: nine and seven in Los Angeles could be crippling because

1127
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:31,479
Speaker 1: people just won't pay attention. This is starting to bother

1128
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 1: me a little bit. I know the analytic analytical movement,

1129
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 1: and people are hammering you gotta go for two down

1130
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 1: fourteen in the fourth quarter. Well, I would agree that

1131
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 1: if you're trying to play to win and you have

1132
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 1: nothing to play for, and you're like, you know, a

1133
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 1: one in eight team, But should you always go for

1134
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:51,440
Speaker 1: two down fourteen in the fourth quarter? If why not

1135
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 1: just play for overtime Because I was just had an

1136
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 1: overtime two weeks ago, and anything could have happened in

1137
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 1: that overtime game, especially your defense is good. Not every

1138
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 1: two point conversion is in a vacuum of fifty opportunity.

1139
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:06,919
Speaker 1: If I have Russell Wilson running a two point play

1140
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,640
Speaker 1: and I have Jeff driscoll running a two point play,

1141
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 1: they're not the fucking same. I am so tired of

1142
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:16,760
Speaker 1: this movement on social media. You gotta go for two,

1143
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 1: and clearly all these teams are doing it. If I

1144
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 1: got Carson Lanser, I got Tom Brady, Yeah, I got

1145
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 1: no problem going for two if I got Jeff Driscoll

1146
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 1: or Jamis Winston. I'm just planning to try to get

1147
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 1: to overtime and give myself a chance, because yesterday the

1148
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 1: Lions did it, they ended up losing my eight. But

1149
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 1: here's the thing. So even if you don't get it

1150
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 1: and then you're down eight and you gotta score the

1151
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 1: other touchdown, then you have to get that two point convertie,

1152
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 1: so you'll lose the game. So yeah, you may win,

1153
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:43,919
Speaker 1: but there's a probably a better chance you're gonna lose.

1154
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:48,200
Speaker 1: I just I don't get it when there's a lot

1155
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:51,440
Speaker 1: of time left, like twelve to ten minutes. I get

1156
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 1: it if there's three or four minutes and you're like,

1157
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to win, But when there's twelve minutes

1158
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 1: to go and you're going for two in the fourth quarter,

1159
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:02,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, man. I just I don't get behind it.

1160
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:05,280
Speaker 1: I get the numbers. Guys love it, and it gives

1161
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 1: them a little uh a little football chub, but it's

1162
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: it drives me nuts. Okay, let's get to this thing

1163
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 1: we like to call the Middle Cough mail bag, and

1164
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 1: it's where I answer your questions. Add John Middlecoff on Instagram,

1165
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:23,640
Speaker 1: slide up in those d m s and then I

1166
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 1: will I'll speak to you here. Uh Eli, I think

1167
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 1: any chance the Titans have a chance of getting to

1168
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 1: a now they're five and five right now, Let's say

1169
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:39,880
Speaker 1: they go eight and eight or nine and seven, either

1170
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:42,440
Speaker 1: make the playoffs or Miss Mariotta is not going to

1171
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 1: be on the team next year. I'd imagine I'd have

1172
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 1: to look at what Tanny hills contract is, but I

1173
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:52,240
Speaker 1: guess that he'll be back and you could have Tanny

1174
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:55,320
Speaker 1: Hill and as twa rehaps So. Yeah, they did it

1175
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 1: this year with the kid from Mississippi State that towards

1176
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 1: knee was he did terrors working out, uh Simmons. I

1177
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 1: think his name is the defensive lineman. It probably would

1178
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 1: have gotten the top five. So they've done it before.

1179
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:09,560
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't they do it again? The Cowboys consistently get

1180
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 1: off to slow starts. I'm trying to figure out this

1181
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:15,960
Speaker 1: because this is on Garrett for not having players motivated,

1182
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 1: or players for not being ready to play, or is

1183
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 1: this the coaching staff constantly putting together terrible game plans

1184
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:24,360
Speaker 1: and they have to scratch it right away. I would

1185
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 1: love to hear your thoughts. Well, let's think about this

1186
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 1: last game with the Lions. You know, I think Zeke

1187
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 1: had an early fumble. I think every game is its

1188
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 1: own entity. Like a game against the Lions, I do understand,

1189
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:41,440
Speaker 1: or the Dolphins the Cowboys kind of overlooking them. You're

1190
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:43,920
Speaker 1: not gonna get every team's best shot. But I do

1191
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 1: think the Vikings game is a good example. You know,

1192
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 1: I was recording something and then I look up and

1193
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 1: in the first courts fourteen to nothing. So yeah, I

1194
01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 1: mean it always falls on the head coach. They're way

1195
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:59,440
Speaker 1: too talented, they're way too explosive on offense. I've actually

1196
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:03,040
Speaker 1: kind of earned this new philosophy. Did I put less

1197
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:06,800
Speaker 1: and less stock into your first drive when you score touchdowns?

1198
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 1: Because if you watch the NFL or even field goals,

1199
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 1: most good coaches can drive right down the field on

1200
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 1: the first drive. They've mapped out the drive all week,

1201
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:18,440
Speaker 1: they've game planned it, they know exactly what you want

1202
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:22,160
Speaker 1: to run against those looks, and they pretty consistently good

1203
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 1: coaches move right down the field. I really judge you

1204
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:27,720
Speaker 1: more in the second half. How you adapt. Now that

1205
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:30,400
Speaker 1: would counter my argument of going well, Jason Garrett actually

1206
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:32,200
Speaker 1: might be a good coach. I think they just kind

1207
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 1: of let become looser. Jason Garrett's just so tight. Everything

1208
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 1: about Jason Garrett is tight. You know, ivy leaguer, never

1209
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:43,000
Speaker 1: missed study hall, still super skinny. You know, he's a

1210
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 1: type guy that only eats chicken salads. I bet his

1211
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:49,920
Speaker 1: diet is exactly the same Monday through Sunday, never deviates

1212
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 1: from it. He kind of reminds me of Joe Girardi

1213
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 1: in baseball. No sugars, you know, perfect chicken salad, salmon

1214
01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:00,920
Speaker 1: for dinner. Very regimented. There's nothing wrong with being regimented.

1215
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:03,200
Speaker 1: I mean I'm regimented. I bet a lot of people

1216
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 1: listening are pretty regimented. But you've gotta be able to

1217
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:08,840
Speaker 1: go get outside your comfort zone every once in a while,

1218
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:12,880
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to motivating your team, being super aggressive,

1219
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:16,480
Speaker 1: taking some swings, like why do they never run trick place?

1220
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:19,680
Speaker 1: Well that that is a staple of the New England Patriots.

1221
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:21,840
Speaker 1: Look at last weekend, they're kind of in a tight

1222
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 1: spot with the Eagles and they bust out a double

1223
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:27,520
Speaker 1: pass and Julian Edelman throws a dime. You know, why,

1224
01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 1: why don't the Cowboys ever do ship like that, just

1225
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 1: to mix it up, just to have a little fun.

1226
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:34,240
Speaker 1: It just feels like they're on the treadmill of just boring,

1227
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 1: which is Jason Garrett. I think that's one of his

1228
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:39,440
Speaker 1: biggest issues. He's just and I respect him because I

1229
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 1: think he's an ivy leaguer played in the league. I

1230
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:44,880
Speaker 1: think he's a high character guy. I think he's a

1231
01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:48,760
Speaker 1: solid coach. But this team just needs a dynamic winner

1232
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:51,920
Speaker 1: and that's just not really him. Do you think that

1233
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissett is a quarterback to build around to make

1234
01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl run? I would have leaned to know

1235
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:01,280
Speaker 1: the majority of the year. Now he's had some moments.

1236
01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:04,280
Speaker 1: I think it's a to be determined. I think we

1237
01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 1: have to use these two years. This season, as you know,

1238
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:10,640
Speaker 1: do they win the division, do they win a playoff game?

1239
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 1: And then next year as they're even gonna be more

1240
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:16,080
Speaker 1: talented with more draft picks, more free agent money, and

1241
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:18,520
Speaker 1: kind of get a fuel. I listen, I'm not a

1242
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 1: fence sitter, but I'm gonna take a pass. I'm gonna

1243
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:24,439
Speaker 1: give him somewhat of a past this year. This year

1244
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:27,440
Speaker 1: was kind of nuts, and he's been pretty damn good.

1245
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 1: I mean if they win nine or ten games, win

1246
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:32,920
Speaker 1: the division. That's an incredible accomplishment given that his his

1247
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 1: best friend and at the starting quarterback quit right before

1248
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:38,800
Speaker 1: the season. Now, I've talked over and over Jacoby was

1249
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 1: gonna start the beginning of the season anyway because lux

1250
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:43,960
Speaker 1: ankle or what was that his injury, calf, whatever it

1251
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 1: was was. I mean, he hadn't practice all training camp.

1252
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 1: But if they go nine or ten wins, they've missed

1253
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 1: t Y in some games now Marlon Max hurt, it'd

1254
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:59,720
Speaker 1: be pretty pretty impressive. It really would that they were

1255
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:05,040
Speaker 1: able to overcome that. And you know, he's somewhat of

1256
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 1: a slow processor. He's not exactly mr You know, sometimes

1257
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:12,120
Speaker 1: when you watch him, it's like to get rid of

1258
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,600
Speaker 1: the ball. But sometimes when he's in rhythm, you're like, damn,

1259
01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 1: this guy is pretty good. I think his ceiling is

1260
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:20,240
Speaker 1: somewhat cap I mean, clearly he's not as talented and

1261
01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:23,360
Speaker 1: not many hars like Andrew Luck. But do you ever

1262
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 1: see him being like a top five or six quarterback

1263
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 1: in the league. Probably not, But could he be like

1264
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:31,240
Speaker 1: a better version of what Cousins is in Minnesota? You know,

1265
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 1: like quarterbacks seven through ten now Cousins is a kind

1266
01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 1: of playing like that right now. But if he's that

1267
01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 1: and then you do a good job drafting and you're

1268
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:40,919
Speaker 1: a well coached team, yeah, you can compete for Super Bowls.

1269
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:43,960
Speaker 1: I mean, Brady's forty two, and as I talked about earlier, hell,

1270
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:47,160
Speaker 1: he could retire after this season. The Ravens are unique,

1271
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:49,200
Speaker 1: but the Texans don't have any first round picks. The

1272
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:52,280
Speaker 1: roster kind of is what it is. Uh, the Jaguars,

1273
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:54,800
Speaker 1: what are they gonna do this offseason with Foals and

1274
01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:58,440
Speaker 1: with Minshew because Foles wasn't that great when now, granted

1275
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:00,080
Speaker 1: he came back from missing all those games with the

1276
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:03,720
Speaker 1: clavical Then you have the Tennessee Titans, whose quarterback situations

1277
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:05,840
Speaker 1: up in the air. So I think it's less about

1278
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:07,920
Speaker 1: is your super Bowl quarterback? Is this a guy that

1279
01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 1: you can consistently win the division with? And if you

1280
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:12,479
Speaker 1: consistently win the division, you're gonna give yourself a shot

1281
01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:15,240
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. You know, No, ideally you'd rather have

1282
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 1: him be a better version, Like the Texans did that

1283
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 1: for a while with Matt Shop and they could never

1284
01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:22,080
Speaker 1: win a damn thing. I mean, the goal of this

1285
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:25,200
Speaker 1: is to win Super Bowls. But I do think you

1286
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:27,040
Speaker 1: have to be realistic. If this guy can take you

1287
01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs like four the next five years, it's hard

1288
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 1: to do that much better. Like how do you upgrade now?

1289
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:35,160
Speaker 1: You know, as the guy just asked me with the Titans,

1290
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:37,440
Speaker 1: what if two of false you would you take him

1291
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:39,840
Speaker 1: in the first round. That that's where you have tough

1292
01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:42,800
Speaker 1: conversations and that's why Chris Ballard gets paid the big bucks.

1293
01:05:43,160 --> 01:05:45,480
Speaker 1: I think as of right now, in the middle of November,

1294
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:48,439
Speaker 1: it's a wait and see process. He's got a huge

1295
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:50,640
Speaker 1: game this Thursday. He's got big games coming up as

1296
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 1: the season goes on. So I'm excited to watch. Big

1297
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:55,480
Speaker 1: fan of the show. I'm a diehard Dolphins fan. And

1298
01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:57,640
Speaker 1: with the recent to injury, what do you think we

1299
01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:00,280
Speaker 1: should do? Is it possible that we get young and

1300
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 1: then snag Tool with our second pick, or do we

1301
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:07,440
Speaker 1: make Burrow a lock for going number one? Well, the

1302
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 1: Dolphins are probably not gonna end up with the number

1303
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 1: one pick. I think that you would take Let's say

1304
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:14,320
Speaker 1: the Bengals get the number one pick and the Dolphins

1305
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:18,080
Speaker 1: have the third pick, and let's say that the problem

1306
01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:22,160
Speaker 1: is gonna be is the Bengals take quarterback the Washington

1307
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 1: Redskins if they're above you, and they would be because

1308
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:28,440
Speaker 1: actually they beat you, so you would probably be above them.

1309
01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:30,680
Speaker 1: But I think there is actually that's not a tiebreaker.

1310
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:33,840
Speaker 1: But let's just assume the Redskins are above you. So

1311
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 1: it Bengals, Redskins, Dolphins. There are the Redskins gonna take

1312
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:43,520
Speaker 1: a quarterback? They just took Dwayne Haskins. Now Dwayne Haskins

1313
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:47,360
Speaker 1: is in shambles right now, but I'd imagine they'd take

1314
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:50,080
Speaker 1: Chase Young. So these next games coming down the home

1315
01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 1: stretch of losing is uh is pretty important for for

1316
01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:57,640
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, So I guess a long way to say it,

1317
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:00,240
Speaker 1: I guess they could take them with their say can't

1318
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:03,439
Speaker 1: second round or second first round pick. They could also

1319
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:05,680
Speaker 1: just maybe roll it back with Ryan Fitzpatrick and just

1320
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:07,760
Speaker 1: kind of build it and maybe go for Trevor Lawrence

1321
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:11,320
Speaker 1: next year. Huge Eagles fan living in Colorado would have

1322
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:14,560
Speaker 1: a couple of questions for you. First, when does Philly

1323
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:16,600
Speaker 1: bring in wide receivers off the street to see if

1324
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:18,720
Speaker 1: they can produce more than the current crop. One's ability

1325
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,000
Speaker 1: to make game winning throws has been there the opportunities

1326
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:24,280
Speaker 1: have literally been dropped by receivers multiple times. Second part

1327
01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:26,280
Speaker 1: is do you think how he will try to bring

1328
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 1: in a star wide out in the off season. Drafting

1329
01:07:28,320 --> 01:07:31,240
Speaker 1: one is great, but we need production now and maybe

1330
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:33,480
Speaker 1: bringing in Odell Beckham Jr. With a trade or trading

1331
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 1: for a Keenan Allen or something like that. I love

1332
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 1: to hear your thoughts. Yeah, I mean I look at

1333
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:43,000
Speaker 1: who's on the street, Des Bryant, you know, Uh, Antonio Brown,

1334
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:46,520
Speaker 1: They're not doing that. I I think I know how

1335
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:50,160
Speaker 1: he's getting a lot of ship, but when al Sean

1336
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:53,400
Speaker 1: goes down, there's just you're just kind of screwed. And

1337
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:56,400
Speaker 1: Deshan Jackson has one game where he has two touchdowns

1338
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 1: on a hundred fifty yards and he never plays again.

1339
01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:02,160
Speaker 1: Just kind of luck. I mean, you have those two guys,

1340
01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:05,080
Speaker 1: you'd be in pretty good shape. Because I watched the

1341
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:08,440
Speaker 1: game again, you know, the Eagle game, and I just

1342
01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:10,840
Speaker 1: look at kind of the narrative on Twitter. I thought

1343
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:14,640
Speaker 1: Wentz looked pretty good. You know, it's just Nelson drops

1344
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:18,439
Speaker 1: every other pass. Uh. They're playing with Jordan Matthews. Now

1345
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:20,599
Speaker 1: they're tight ends are good, but those are the two

1346
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:23,000
Speaker 1: guys who are gonna go double team and Urds and Goddard.

1347
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:27,360
Speaker 1: They can't really run the ball just and also it's

1348
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:29,400
Speaker 1: not easy to play the Patriots, So if your receivers

1349
01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:31,080
Speaker 1: aren't great, you're gonna be in a little bit of

1350
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:35,320
Speaker 1: a pinch. I don't know if I can't imagine the

1351
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:37,760
Speaker 1: Browns gonna trade Odell Beckham this offseason, so I don't

1352
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:40,400
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be available now. Maybe the Chargers trade

1353
01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:42,559
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen and that if, if how we could get

1354
01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen for like pick twenty, I do that in

1355
01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:46,760
Speaker 1: a heartbeat. I just don't know if that's gonna be

1356
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 1: an option. I don't know if the Chargers might ask

1357
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:51,760
Speaker 1: for more. I mean, beside the two pass rushers, he's

1358
01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:54,439
Speaker 1: the best player on the team. So yeah, I trade

1359
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:57,560
Speaker 1: for Keenan Allen and heartbeat, I just I don't know

1360
01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:06,320
Speaker 1: if that's ever gonna happen. Uh, you need to save

1361
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:09,400
Speaker 1: all these stories. Okay, I do a lot of videos.

1362
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:12,400
Speaker 1: Uh I do. I get bored, so I I do

1363
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:15,040
Speaker 1: instant stories and I just add music to them. It's

1364
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:17,160
Speaker 1: actually like one of the things in life I'm great at.

1365
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:19,320
Speaker 1: It's kind of sad, I mean, it shows you my talents.

1366
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:21,839
Speaker 1: What do you think could be done to speed baseball

1367
01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:25,240
Speaker 1: up to make it more appealing to the masses. You know,

1368
01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:27,200
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything you can do. I just

1369
01:09:27,280 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 1: think the sport is the sport. I say it all

1370
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:37,320
Speaker 1: the time about the NFL. Is that is that urgency

1371
01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:39,599
Speaker 1: plays a huge part in success in the regular season,

1372
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:41,760
Speaker 1: because people either watch or they don't watch, you know,

1373
01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:45,000
Speaker 1: And in baseball, you play a hundred sixty two games.

1374
01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 1: It's so boring. Most teams suck. The sport is just

1375
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:51,280
Speaker 1: really slow. I watch it, but most of my friends

1376
01:09:51,360 --> 01:09:54,519
Speaker 1: don't really anymore. It's just it is very boring. It's

1377
01:09:54,640 --> 01:09:56,160
Speaker 1: very slow. It's still it's cool to go to a

1378
01:09:56,240 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 1: game in the summer when it's hot outside and sunny.

1379
01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:00,599
Speaker 1: But you go to a football game, and I've been

1380
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:02,320
Speaker 1: to a couple of Monday night games this year. I've

1381
01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:04,960
Speaker 1: been to countless football games over the last ten years.

1382
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:09,280
Speaker 1: A big game feels like an enormous event, but even

1383
01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:11,599
Speaker 1: I've been to a lot of like shitty Raider games

1384
01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:13,840
Speaker 1: and shitty Niner games over the last four or five years,

1385
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 1: Like when their teams were gonna draft in the top ten.

1386
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:18,760
Speaker 1: On game day it still feels pretty cool. You know,

1387
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:20,559
Speaker 1: it's like you're going to an NFL game. It's only

1388
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:23,320
Speaker 1: once a week. That's just not really the case in

1389
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:25,720
Speaker 1: the other two sports. You know, people like I don't

1390
01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:27,439
Speaker 1: want to go to a bad basketball game because there's

1391
01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:28,920
Speaker 1: a million of them, and definitely the same thing with

1392
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:32,640
Speaker 1: baseball or I mean basketball, I just I don't know.

1393
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 1: I don't think there's much to do. The sport is

1394
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:37,439
Speaker 1: kind of the sport. It's just slow, you know, it's

1395
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:41,040
Speaker 1: there's there's the fundamental aspects of the way the game

1396
01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:44,439
Speaker 1: is played is not going to change. Where football you

1397
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:47,840
Speaker 1: could argue, there's really not as much action as you think. Uh,

1398
01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:51,400
Speaker 1: but there's only one game a week, and that is crazy.

1399
01:10:51,439 --> 01:10:54,519
Speaker 1: It sounds that to me is football's greatest asset. Just

1400
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:59,200
Speaker 1: one game a week. I appreciate everyone listening. Enjoy the

1401
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:01,519
Speaker 1: weekend or join the week. I'll see you a little

1402
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:05,160
Speaker 1: later this week on Friday, Big Thursday night game, Colts

1403
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:09,599
Speaker 1: Texans Fired up. UM. Have a good day or night

1404
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:11,320
Speaker 1: or whenever you listen to this Adios
