Speaker 1: the AFC and NFC Championship games? Right around the corner?

22
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: Quick reaction to something I saw Lamar said today. The

23
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: pressure rankings from last week carry right over Kyle and

24
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: Purdy against the Motor City Kitties and the Detroit Lions.

25
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: I don't think that anything changes there. So we'll dive

26
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: into the pressure on old Shanahan and Purty against the

27
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: Lions at home, and then something to that happened with

28
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: Vic Fangio and just doesn't that up. We will dive

29
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: into that he's no longer the Miami defensive coordinator and

30
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 1: all science point to him being an eagle. We've had

31

63
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: breaking news Jim Harbaugh leaving the University of Michigan a

64
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: champion and heading to the Los Angeles Chargers. Let's start

65
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: with the Chargers angle of all this. It is never

66
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: too late, It is never the wrong time to do

67
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: the right thing. And while they have consistently got it

68
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: wrong for years now with coaching, they had no other option.

69
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: They had to put all their chips in the middle

70
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: of the table. What they just went through the last

71
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: couple of years with Brandon Staley. They were the worst

72
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: combination of everything. They were relevant, they weren't winning games.

73
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: They were a laughingstock. They're the second team in a city.

74
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: Yet they have this quarterback with all this talent, who

75
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: they had just paid all this money to, and for

76
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: the first time in a long time, they swam in

77
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: the deep end when it came to talking to the

78
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: important people, and they circled the right guy because this

79
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: guy now had one thing. Jim Harbaugh's good at is

80
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: when he took over the forty nine er job, one

81
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: he took over the Stanford job. They were one and

82
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: eleven laughing stock. He takes over the forty nine er

83
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: job Mike Singletary, who's one of the worst all time coaches.

84
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: Then he goes to Michigan after the Brady Hoage debacle,

85
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: and now he comes with the Chargers after Brandon Saley.

86
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: So what he's proven he can win. But he also

87
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: does not like follow Nick Saban or Bill Belichick. He

88
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: follows the guy that no one's ever going to hire

89
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: again for that job at that level program or in

90
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: the NFL. So Jim, don't sleep on Jim that way.

91
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: But the Spanos family is never going to be the

92
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: most important thing in Los Angeles. That's impossible. The Lakers

93
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: and the Dodgers will always be bigger than them. Even

94
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: the Rams had been in LA for a long time

95
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: before Saint Louis stole them. But here's the thing. When

96
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: you have Jim Harbaugh as your head coach and you

97
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: have a quarterback who has the chance. He kind of

98
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: fell off a little bit this year, but I think

99
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: all eyes will be on him moving forward to be

100
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: a guy who's consistently he talked about and plays like

101
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: and in the games verse in the biggest moments now,

102
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: because Jim's history is he wins, he goes to the playoffs, NFL,

103
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: college doesn't matter. He's winning double digit games and he's

104
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: in the games that matter. So Herbert is gonna be

105
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: playing against Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen.

106
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: See the television ratings last couple of weeks, talking thirty

107
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: five to forty fifty million people watching these games. So

108
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: he can take your franchise to a level that you

109
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: guys have just fallen into relevancy. And let's face it,

110
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: you're in a division with the best coach in football,

111
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, the best quarterback in football, Patrick Mahomes another guy.

112
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: While polarizing, we can't argue that Sean Payton is not

113
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: good at his job. You got ninety million dollars to

114
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: coach Denver, like I think Denver is gonna be much better,

115
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: and in a conference that is just loaded with star quarterbacks.

116
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: So you couldn't afford to go the route in which

117
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: you've been going. And in fairness, they knew that and

118
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: from talking to people and clearly just based on their actions,

119
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: this was their number one guy all along. And this

120
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: is the type guy who can change the course of

121
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: your franchise. I saw it with the forty nine ers.

122
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: They were so shitty before he got there. It didn't

123
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: matter how many talented guys, how many Pro Bowlers and

124
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: All pros they had potential on their team. They didn't

125
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: play like that with a bad coach, because when you

126
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: have a bad coach, I don't care the talent you

127
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: have on your team, You're always gonna underachieve. And the

128
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers were in a situation where they were

129
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: playing this dilapidate, dilapidated stadium, their ownership relative the rest

130
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: of the league didn't have as much money, and then

131
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: within a couple of years during the Super Bowl, they

132
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: get funding, you know, for a new stadium and change

133
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: their franchise. Now, it ended poorly, but I would say this,

134
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh feels like a different guy now at sixty

135
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: years old than he did at forty five. We saw

136
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: at Stanford and with the forty nine Ers. He's still

137
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: a little quirky, little out there, but he does feel

138
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: like he just matured a little bit as the head

139
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: haunt Jo And clearly once he won at Michigan, he

140
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: had his eyes set on the Chargers, not because he

141
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: used to play there, not because I think that his

142
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: coaching career started as a head coach in San Diego,

143
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: but because they have a legit quarterback. And I think

144
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 1: his brother serves as a great example. John Harball was

145
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: on the hot seat the year Lamar Jackson was drafted.

146
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: They had not been good, and then even that season

147
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: it was not going well with Joe Flacco. Lamar Jackson

148
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 1: changed the course and the trajectory of John Harbaugh's career changed.

149
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: It put him in a stratosphere of like, he just

150
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: should have a good team moving forward as long as

151
00:08:55,400 --> 00:09:01,599
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson has two feet. So Jim Harbaugh like he

152
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: got lucky. Like clearly he wanted the Minnesota job a

153
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, and listen, he would have competed

154
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 1: with Kirk Cousins. But this is a better opportunity. It

155
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: really is. Now it's tough AFC coaching division. But Jim

156
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: Harbaugh proved he could win the big one, which was

157
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: kind of the elephant in the room with him. Now

158
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 1: could he join the elite company of obviously, if you

159
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: were to win a Super Bowl, he'd be a rare

160
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: era of guys that have done both college and the pros.

161
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: But the other thing is, like you win with the Chargers,

162
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 1: you get the Chargers to be really good. Talk about

163
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: a notch on your belt, Like you could argue that'd

164
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: be the most impressive thing he's done since Stanford, Like

165
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: the forty nine approven like they should be good. Michigan,

166
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: like they should be good the Terrero's in San Diego.

167
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: That was impressive. But no one even can contextualize that

168
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: Stanford likes. That's a difficult job. This is a difficult

169
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: job because they consistently do not win. They consistently let

170
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: you down, they consistently blow games, and from an ownership standpoint,

171
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: they consistently go cheap on coaches. So Jim's not cheap,

172
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: and Jim guarantees you to me like relevancy sometimes that's

173
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 1: like a marketing term. This is like sub substantial tangible

174
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: relevancy because you're gonna win, because that's all the guy

175
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 1: has ever done. He guarantees you winning. Even Bill Belichick,

176
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: who I think it's crazy that the Falcons already haven't

177
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: offered him the job and made him their head coach,

178
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: But I could see it's like, well, if you remove

179
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, it doesn't matter. With Jim Harbaugh. He had

180
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,599
Speaker 1: a ton of different quarterbacks in Michigan, won nine to

181
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: eleven games all the time, got his best quarterback, won

182
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: the Natty, and went to the playoffs NonStop. One with

183
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: Alex Smith, one with Kaepernick, one with Andrew Luck, one

184
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: with the dude before Andrew Luck. So this guy's proven

185
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 1: he can win with any type quarterback. So when you

186
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: give him a talented quarterback. The other thing the Harball

187
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: family like one of their best talents, like neither of

188
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: them call offense or defense. They're CEO head coaches. They

189
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 1: are elite at hiring assistant coaches. It is a It's

190
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: something that we don't talk about enough. We really don't

191
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: because it's no different than like talking about GMS. We

192
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: talk about GMS a lot, like how does he draft?

193
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: You do know there's more to being a GM than

194
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: just draft picks. Who you know around? Who do you

195
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: sign and trade and cut and stuff during the season?

196
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: How are you in free agency? How is your ability

197
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,719
Speaker 1: to work with coaches? You bring other stuff to the

198
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: table with your coaching staff. It's more than just like well,

199
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 1: who does he draft in the third round? As a

200
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: head coach, building your staff is something that is essential

201
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: for success, especially like John and Jim don't call plays.

202
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 1: They always have excellent coordinators, especially for Jim, who you

203
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: know former quarterback Lean's offense. We know what his offense

204
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: gonna look like. He's gonna love running the ball. He's

205
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: gonna have a tight end. He's gonna want to be very,

206
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 1: very physical. But defensively, two reasons they dominate. One he

207
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: hires premium guys on that side of the ball, and

208
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 1: two because of his style on offense, it creates a

209
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 1: more physical team. It's why a lot of spread offenses

210
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 1: aren't physical on defense. You are who you practice against.

211
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: So to me, I would expect Jim to bring his

212
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, who comes from the Ravens mentor with him

213
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: to the Chargers, who proved that he's big time guy's

214
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: a star. It's like Mike McDonald, who's hardboss, right and

215
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. I don't know, Uh, we'll have to see.

216
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: I would imagine Sharon More, a buddy of mine in

217
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: the NFL, just texts me, do you know it would

218
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: be a boss move. If the University of Michigan hired

219
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: Mike vrabel I was like, you think he'd go to Michigan?

220
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: Being Ohio state guy. He's like put eighteen million dollars

221
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: a year in front of him. See if he says no,

222
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: And once you get old enough like cares, that'd be

223
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: kind of crazy. But this it's way less devastating from

224
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 1: Michigan once he won that title, Like, it's like whatever, listen,

225
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: if we wanted to argue all day about the science stealing,

226
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: I think it's just the cost of doing business. Did

227
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: he cross the line a little bit? Yes, everyone in

228
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: business is going up against the line. A lot of

229
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: successful companies cross that line. If you don't, you're not

230
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: going to be successful. Successful people don't avoid that line.

231
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 1: Some yes, jump it and get in trouble. Welcome to

232
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: fucking capitalism, Welcome to high pressure, competitive industries. It's part

233
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 1: of the deal. It doesn't bother me as much. Just

234
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,599
Speaker 1: like the stuff with Belichick taping the science, everyone was

235
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,599
Speaker 1: doing it. He just got the most extreme. Now, I

236
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 1: do understand it's easier to be a head coach in

237
00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: the NFL than in college with nil the transfer portal

238
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: like that can't be that fun where literally every guy

239
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: on your roster is a free agent every single year,

240
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: which you'd be like, well, it's always happening with the coaches. Yeah,

241
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: it's true, but now it's the players too. So if

242
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 1: I had a choice between the NFL where I have

243
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: players under contract, or college where I also have to

244
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: pay them through the NIL but then also they can

245
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: leave if they don't like their status like that has

246
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: to be exhausting. And clearly they're gonna come after the

247
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: NC DOUBLEA, which again I can't wrap my head around

248
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: how these universities still deal with the NC DOUBLEA. This

249
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: isn't like the United States government where you have no choice,

250
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: you gotta pay taxes, Like, couldn't you just break off?

251
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: What does the NC DOUBLEA bring to the Big ten

252
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: or do any of the major conferences? Now? They don't

253
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: own the playoffs, they have nothing to do with the

254
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: television network contracts. So I would imagine he doesn't want

255
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: to get in trouble and get suspended again. So he's like,

256
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: I'm out and I want to try to win that

257
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, and this is, in my opinion, the best

258
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: opportunity for me to win the Super Bowl. I've said

259
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: all along, I hope he stayed on Saturdays because the

260
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: NFL didn't necessarily need him, though he is an addition,

261
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: wherever he goes, you hire Jim Harbaugh. It's an addition

262
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: to your team, to your division, to your league. He's

263
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: an important character in the number one television show that

264
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: is now football. The number one show is the NFL,

265
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: the number one b show is college football. So as

266
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: long as he stays in the mix, like, we're better

267
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: off with him coaching, Like Sean McVay, like, yeah, he

268
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: go to Amazon and make twenty million, football is better

269
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: with him on the sideline. And I think Jim Harbaugh

270
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: is one truly of the great cash cows we've ever

271
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: seen in the sport. Every single place that has made

272
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh as their coach has benefited greatly. The Michigan

273
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: thing was a little rocky at first, and by the

274
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: end he was kicking the shit out of Ryan Day.

275
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: You knew had a great day to day Ryan Day.

276
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: What a moment for Ryan Day. Now he has the

277
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: highest payroll with Texas in the country and he does

278
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: not have to face Jim Harbaugh ever again. You'd be like, well, JOHNA,

279
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: he didn't face Jim Harball this year. Well, Jim got

280
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: to coach the team during the week. Jim's just gone.

281
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: And now if you can't beat Sharon Moore, assuming he'll

282
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: be the next head coach at Michigan, I would imagine

283
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: Ryan Day will be fired at the end of next season.

284
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: I guess you could still make the playoffs, and who knows,

285
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: win a national championship. So I got to look at

286
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: college football a little bit differently. But like, you can't

287
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: go on Forida Michigan and keep your job. That's just

288
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: not the way it works there. I don't care how

289
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: many times you beat Rutgers or Wisconsin, but big moment

290
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: for Ohio State. Sucks for Michigan, but at least you

291
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: got that national title, and it was an impressive national title.

292
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: You beat Nick Saban the last game he ever coached.

293
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: I know the score was relatively close, but as someone

294
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: that had Washington money on them, you took it to him.

295
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: And Harbab brought you back to glory. That's what he

296
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: does everywhere. He brings you glorious moments because you win.

297
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: No franchise was in more desperation for some glory and

298
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: some just important games and thinking like, oh, the Chargers

299
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: are good. The Chargers are gonna win than the Spanos family,

300
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: and I know that they've pushed back. I know a

301
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: lot of people that know them. They're like, they get

302
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: so insecure about being called cheap. We pay our players.

303
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,719
Speaker 1: Every team pays their players. Mike Brown's handing out two

304
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars to quarterbacks. Everyone has money. Now, this

305
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: is the type move, like, this is your money. Everyone

306
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: has the media money, the salary cap. You gotta pay

307
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: the players no matter what. What about this type move

308
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: because historically you've gone cheap on this. Well, Jim's not

309
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: cheap and Jim, Jim is expensive and he gives you

310
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: a chance to win, and he almost guarantees you just success,

311
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: whether that's ten and seven or eleven and six, like

312
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: you'll be in the playoff mix. Something that Brandon Staley

313
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: was taking you clearly in the wrong direction. But what

314
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: to day Jim harbuzz back in the National Football League,

315
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson, when talking earlier today on Wednesday, mentioned

316
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: that he viewed playing Patrick Mahomes as like, you know,

317
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: a heavyweight fight, and I started thinking, one thing is

318
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: not debatable. It's much more difficult these last several years

319
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 1: in the AFC than it is in the NFC in

320
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: terms of quarterbacks. I mean last year Daniel Jones was

321
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: in the second round this year. Last year, you're talking

322
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, and now CJ.

323
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: Stroud has thrown his hat in the ring. It's not

324
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: even close. Last year Herbert Trevor Lawrence when he was

325
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: capable the premium quarterbacks that are in the AFC. It's

326
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: why we talked about coming into this season how difficult

327
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: that conference would be. And I think what's cool about

328
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 1: this matchup is, like, let's face it, We've seen Josh

329
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: Allen and Patrick Mahomes happen three times and it hasn't

330
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: worked out for Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. That

331
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: sucks now, I like most people. I saw fifty million

332
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: people watch that on Sunday. I don't think it gets

333
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: much better in that you could argue Buffalo is the

334
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: best home field advantage at night in the cold in

335
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,719
Speaker 1: terms of a viewer on their couch. It just pops,

336
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: It just works. Lambeau's pretty special. I'm talking these old

337
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: school stadiums that just have a purity to it. When

338
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: I used to go to a lot of games, when

339
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: I first got into this business and started doing radio,

340
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: Candlestick was still around, and then I used to go

341
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: to a lot of games at the Oakland Coliseum and listen,

342
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: those places were complete shitholes. Candlestick they literally blew it up,

343
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: and the Coliseum they should blow up that entire area.

344
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: I dynamite it all. Oracle as well, But there was

345
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: if you were at a football game and the game

346
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: was good, there was something special about it. Weren't many suites,

347
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: wasn't really some elitist crowd. Listen. I've been to a

348
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: lot of games at Levi's. It's a high end consumer

349
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: because it costs a lot to get in there. The

350
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: sweet prices are absurd, right, That's what most of these

351
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: new stadiums are. When you go to these old, dilapidated places,

352
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: it's just about the sport. And listen, as if I

353
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: ran a business, if I was one of these owners,

354
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 1: I'd want to get rid of that too. The best

355
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: thing that ever happened to the forty nine ers ownership

356
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: in terms of wealth was getting a new stadium, getting

357
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: out of Candlestick. So I get it, and the Buffalo

358
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: Bills are been trying hard to get a new stadium.

359
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: But that's pretty special. That is that's an awesome place

360
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: to watch, but ultimately was Josh Allen versus Patrick Mahomes.

361
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: Doesn't get much better than that. The last two years

362
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: in the conference championship, it was Joe Burrow versus Patrick Mahomes,

363
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: and now we're getting Lamar Jackson versus Patrick Mahomes. I

364
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: mean those three players alone are excuse me, four players, Mahomes,

365
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Joe Burrow. I mean we're

366
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: talking well over a billion dollars worth a quarterback. I

367
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: mean those are the four best when healthy, easily the

368
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: four best quarterbacks in the NFL. I obviously, Mahomes has

369
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: set an stone the number one spot, what he's earned

370
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: and his resume over the six years, and then it

371
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: kind of ebbs and flows between the other three, right,

372
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: so it doesn't get any better, and the NFC has

373
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: Jared Goff was the number one overall pick, but no

374
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: one's putting Jared Goff in those conversations. Part of the

375
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: reason we never shut up about Brock Purdy, which is exhausting.

376
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: He was the last pick in the draft. Before that,

377
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: it was Baker Mayfield, who was on his third team.

378
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 1: I mean, the quarterback situation. Jordan Love had never had

379
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: played one game as the like one of the last

380
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,360
Speaker 1: picks in the first round from like four years ago

381
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: up until this season, and up until about two months ago,

382
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: he wasn't very good. His own team was like, I

383
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: don't know, We'll see how these last ten games go.

384
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: So the cream of the crop is in the AFC.

385
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: And where I come around on this game initially is

386
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm not As of right now, I don't have any

387
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 1: money on the Ravens. I took the Ravens last week

388
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: minus nine and a half. Their roster is just anyone

389
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: that's watched them start to finish is just superior to

390
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: basically every other team. And we saw them play what

391
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: we view as the best roster in the NFL and

392
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 1: they destroyed them in the Niners. Now you'd be like, well,

393
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 1: they got some lucky tips or whatever, like they kick

394
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: their ass and the Ravens are a complete team, right.

395
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: Part of Buffalo's problem is defensively, they couldn't get a

396
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: stop to save their life. If Hardeman doesn't fumble out

397
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: of the corner of the end zone, I mean they

398
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: probably lose that game by double digits. That's not the

399
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: problem here. The other thing the Ravens have going for them,

400
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: beside an offense which statistically is not as good, just

401
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: in terms of his rush touchdowns as past touchdowns as

402
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: some of his previous years. He's better than he's ever

403
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: been right now. Lamar Jackson to me, has taken a

404
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: step this season into superstardom. I know he was really

405
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: famous and he had won an MVP. He's dramatically better

406
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: as a player in my opinion just from watching football

407
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: then he has been. You know, especially early on in

408
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: his career. He's not as the on as a runner,

409
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: yet he is still an elite runner, and he is

410
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: much more calm and collected when he's scrambling around to

411
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: ultimately pass, and you just fear him in every element

412
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: of the game. But their defense is dominant. I mean

413
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: they're front four. They don't have famous guys in the

414
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: front beside Clowney. They're a dominant group. They're two linebackers

415
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: you could argue are the best in the business right

416
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: there with Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw. But Kyle Hamilton,

417
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: like one of the reasons I think the Chiefs could

418
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 1: be in a little trouble is obviously they're very dependent

419
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: on Kelsey. They need him to play well, right that

420
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: they don't have many other good wide receivers, and he

421
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: did last week, had a couple of touchdowns, makes big plays,

422
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: and he's a prime time as Dicky V would say,

423
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: a pt peer. Right. Well, they have the ability to

424
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,959
Speaker 1: somewhat neutralize him with two good linebackers and a safety

425
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: that was born to cover tight ends. So if he

426
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: can't really get going, and Pachaco is currently on the

427
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: injury report, though I would imagine he plays, it's gonna

428
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: be tough to run for eighty plus yards against these guys.

429
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: I looked his over under on DraftKings was like sixty

430
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: or low sixties. So and I like everybody loves Pachaco,

431
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: but this is a matchup that really favors the Ravens

432
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: in terms of like a conference championship against the defending

433
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: champs and the number one seed. I mean, I'm not

434
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: acting like this is some elite team against the middle

435
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: of the road team. I'm talking about You're playing the

436
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: two point zero version of Brady and Belichick in Mahomes

437
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 1: andany Reid, which is why I'm hesitant to bet against them,

438
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: because I didn't have money on the Sunday Night game.

439
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: I would have taken the Bills and I would have

440
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: been kicking myself. You just bet against Andy Reid and

441
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. Are you a fucking idiot that that would

442
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 1: have been my mindset? And obviously the Chiefs have the

443
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: coaching advantage here, but John Harbaugh's pretty damn good. And

444
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: I think what separates this team is their coordinators. I mean,

445
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: to me, Mike McDonald is the currently the best defensive

446
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: coordinator in the NFL that can ebb and flow on

447
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: a given year. I would if I could have any

448
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 1: guy as my defensive coordinator next year, I would pick him.

449
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: Now he might end up being a head coach. It's

450
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 1: hard to tell how all these dominoes are gonna fall.

451
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: Like it's a well the Lions could lose both coordinators.

452
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 1: Are we sure? Like to where what job openings? Chargers higher,

453
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: Harbaugh Raiders' jobs already filled? Are these guys going to

454
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 1: the Panthers? What if the Falcons end up with Belichick? Like,

455
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: where are the openings here? The Patriots are already filled?

456
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 1: You know, I think we'd see I think all these

457
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: guys are going places. And then you start doing the

458
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: musical chairs You're like a lot of chairs have people

459
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: sitting in them right now. So my early reaction is

460
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: I'm like the Ravens now I would probably if this

461
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: number gets to it's keep moving up like the Chiefs.

462
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: But I think the ability to just slow down Travis

463
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: Kelce is something that would be a major problem for

464
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: Kansas City. But like Lamar says, this is a heavyweight matchup.

465
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 1: It doesn't get any better than this. I saw a

466
00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: headline that the Ravens are pulling out all this stuff.

467
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: Ray Lewis, Jonathan Ogden like leading out the team, you know,

468
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: hitting the drum, It's gonna be badass. And to me,

469
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: the AFC, when you factor in the pageantry of the

470
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: cold it's something dependent on who's hosting the NFC games,

471
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: isn't a factor, and it's a huge factor in football.

472
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: Like I'm a sucker for that, right. I'm not acting

473
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 1: like I'm not rooting for the Niners this week, but

474
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: just in terms of if I was indifferent and was

475
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: on my couch, I would rather watch a cold weather game.

476
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: I would in January. That's why the AFC we're talking

477
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: heavyweight fighters. Speaking of the NFC, I said last week

478
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 1: in terms of the pressure rankings. I didn't even think

479
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: it was close. John Harbaugh already has a ring. Lamar

480
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: Jackson's in like the prime of his career, under contract

481
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: for the foreseeable future. Yes, if they were to lose

482
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 1: on Sunday at home, that would suck. Or they make

483
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: the super Bowl and they don't win, that would suck.

484
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 1: But those guys are so ingrained and in trench in

485
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 1: the organization, Like, let's face it, you can't ask, well,

486
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: can John Harbaugh ever win the big one? It's like, yeah,

487
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 1: he did twenty twelve, one of the things with Kyle Shanahan,

488
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: and you could feel it watching that game on Saturday night,

489
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: You're like, he's really gonna blow it at home as

490
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: an enormous favorite against a team who's about to fire

491
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: their defensive coordinator. He's playing Joe Berry in a chess match.

492
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: That guy is gonna be relieved of his duties Monday,

493
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 1: Tuesday or Wednesday. Turns out it was Wednesday. But he's

494
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 1: holding on for dear life for his job, and he's

495
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: coming down the home stretch. And the party thing is

496
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: I've defended him and I will continue to defend him.

497
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: He's a really good player. But that was an alarming experience. Now,

498
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: if it doesn't rain, we should get a better version

499
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: of him. And he's playing the Lions, who, let's face it,

500
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: their past defense sucks. Their corners are not good. So

501
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: if Aiden Hutchinson, if you just block him like something

502
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: some of these teams have, they just like leave him unblocked.

503
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what you think. The number two pick

504
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: in the draft, six seven and an elite pass rusher,

505
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 1: I'd probably want to get a hat on a hat there.

506
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 1: To me, the forty nine er should win this game. Now,

507
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: I would bet the farm if you told me Debo

508
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: was one hundred healthy, I'd be like, I think the

509
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: forty nine ers scoring forty plus in this game with

510
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: Debo being very much up in the air, and it's

511
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 1: hard to tell they're being mum about it. If he

512
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: broke his shoulder again and they're trying to shoot it

513
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: up and play through the pain. You know, who knows.

514
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: Maybe he plays a play and gets tackled and then

515
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: he's out. So I think he is a big swing guy.

516
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: Clearly when he's on the field and it's not raining,

517
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: this offense is dominant. It's elite. The only time they

518
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: struggled with him on the field this season. Was against

519
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens, who, like we said, I think it's

520
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: the best defense in the league with the best defensive coordinator,

521
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: but the pressure on Kyle Shanahan and Brock Purty. Like

522
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: I am not some Brock Purty hater. I've said all along,

523
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: he was excellent this season. You can't watch him and

524
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: go that's a big time quarterback. The way he played

525
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: throughout the regulars. If you've watched the forty nine Ers

526
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: during their their run of all these teams making runs

527
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: to the championship game, he is easily the best version

528
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: of any quarterback they've had, and it's not even close.

529
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: Like he is dramatically better than the best version of Jimmy,

530
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: which wasn't bad. But like, you don't play well in

531
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: this environment when all these people are watching, the overreaction

532
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: is gonna lean negative. And this notion that like it's

533
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: just it's just a narrative that's out there. We've seen

534
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: Kyle replace quarterbacks. We've seen him do it constantly, even

535
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: with the forty nine Ers. We've been talking about this

536
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: all week. Got rid of Jimmy, they got rid of

537
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: Trey even told brock Purty last year, like, hey man, Mike,

538
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: get Tom Brady. If he can come out of retirement,

539
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: You'll be his backup. He's ruthless, He's got thrown. This

540
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: is a National Football League at Walsh parcelves Belichick, these

541
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: guys are kind of ruthless, hell sneaky, And he's pretty

542
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: good of that too. He just kind has a smile

543
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: on his face. He's gotten rid of a lot of

544
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: guys over the years, and like this notion that, like

545
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: this guy is a lock to be the quarterback for

546
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: the next ten years. How could you say that? Now?

547
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: If he plays well in this game and then they

548
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl, Like, it's not like they're giving

549
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: him a contract extension after the second year. They're not

550
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: even allowed to do that. So you could feel I'm

551
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: telling you, I've been watching this team for so long.

552
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: It wasn't even just I couldn't believe they were gonna lose.

553
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: It was you could feel this pressure on the offense

554
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: and the quarterback every single snap of that game on Saturday. Now,

555
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: one of his defining characteristics, like, think about the other

556
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that are currently playing. The other three guys Jared

557
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: Goff was the number one pick in the fucking draft,

558
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: the number one pick in the draft. He's one of

559
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: like five quarterbacks to ever take multiple franchises to the

560
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: conference championship. That includes like Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Joe Montana,

561
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: Brett Farv. I mean, it's a pretty good list, Kurt Warner,

562
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: a lot of guys wearing gold jackets in that list.

563
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: So Jared Goff has had some low moments, but he's

564
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: had a pretty freaking good career. Patrick mahomes one of

565
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: the greatest athletes any sport we've ever seen, any position,

566
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson has proven like, yeah, I am an

567
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: all time great and definitely has the opportunity to kind

568
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: of solidify that these next couple of games. Then you

569
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: got picked two sixty two that like physically isn't anywhere

570
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: near these guys, right, has the weakest arm of the bunch. Now,

571
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: he's a better athlete than Jared Goff, but he really

572
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: hangs his hat on intangibles, anticipation, stuff that matters at quarterback.

573
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: There was a play Baldinger tweeted out, I saw in

574
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: my timeline how he checked to a run on the

575
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: long Christian McCaffrey flipped the play the Christian McCaffrey touchdown

576
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: like pretty brings a lot to the table, right, and

577
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: he made some big throws on that final drive, which

578
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: they ultimately won. And the point of the game is

579
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: to win, right, survive in advance. But there was a

580
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: reason there was so much negativity after that game, Right,

581
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: There wasn't negativity around the Ravens after they scored twenty

582
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: four an answer in the second half and beat the

583
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: shit out of the Texans. Right, there was around forty

584
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: nine ers because it felt like they were gonna lose

585
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: that game ninety five percent of it Now moving forward,

586
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: like you beat the Lions by a couple of touchdowns,

587
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: it all gets forgotten. You're going to the Super Bowl,

588
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: and then it becomes can you get revenge on the

589
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: Ravens or can you take down the champs who took

590
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: you down five six years ago in the last Super

591
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: Bowl that you guys played each other. So the pressure

592
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: on this team, like if you just did the pressure

593
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: rankings and listen, it's a conference championship game. You're never

594
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: guaranteed to come back unless you're the Chiefs. You go

595
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: every year. But the Ravens, the Niners and the Lions,

596
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: who freaking knows you got there's pressure on you. But

597
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: I think Kyle and Brock Purdy are in their own

598
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: category and rightfully so, Like I don't even think that's

599
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: really debatable. Then to me, next would be Harbaugh and Lamar.

600
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: But like I said, you know, it's what's gonna happen,

601
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: Like it would be disappointing, but I think you feel

602
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: pretty good about your chances next year. You could argue

603
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: the Lions have more pressure than the Chiefs. It's like, well,

604
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: where are they going until it's verified that Andy Reid

605
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: is retiring. I am not banking on him leaving. And

606
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: as long as you got Andy and Patrick Mahomes, and

607
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: I'll promise you this, their offense is gonna be better

608
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: next year, like they'll be back the Lions, like, let's

609
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: face it, last time they got to a championships, like,

610
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna got a really good team, we're gonna be around.

611
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: I remember watching the Barry Sanders documentary even said it,

612
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: He's like, we're gonna be good. Then they weren't and

613
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: they sucked and they fell apart and coaches got fired

614
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: and they didn't make it back to this game for

615
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: thirty plus years. The Cowboys are like, God, are we

616
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,239
Speaker 1: are we the longest streak since at you know, two

617
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: and a half decades. So I would probably have the

618
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: Lions third. But it's weird because they could lose this

619
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: game forty to nothing and it would suck. I'm acknowledging

620
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: that if you're a Lions fan, it's still been probably

621
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: the most incredible season of the majority of people listening's life, right,

622
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: So I think that the tangible pressure on this Niner

623
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: team to take care of business, especially if it's not

624
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: raining whether Deebo plays or not. You know, you got

625
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: a lot invested in that defensive line. And the one

626
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: reason the forty nine Ers used to beat Sean McVeigh

627
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: every single time they played, when they were good and

628
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: when they were bad up until the conference championship game,

629
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: which I think they would trade all those wins for

630
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 1: that win, but regardless, was because now the Rams beside Whitworth,

631
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 1: their offensive line was always kind of questionable and the

632
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: Niners used to eat it alive. And Jared Goff can't

633
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 1: run right. He's very old school, he's Eli Philip Rivers.

634
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: He's of that mold, which I still have a soft

635
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: spot for though that type player is is kind of

636
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: disappearing throughout football, like you watch college football. Hell, you

637
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: just watch Google like rival, watch some top ten quarterbacks

638
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: on rivals. They don't really play like that anymore. But

639
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: if Jared Goff's untouched, like, he can really make you pay,

640
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: especially the weapons they have, assuming Laporte is gonna playport

641
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 1: both the running backs can catch. Saint Brown is a

642
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: fucking baller. Jameson Williams can just stretch your defense, so

643
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 1: you gotta hit him. And when you hit them historically

644
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: and I saw sure and said this, he's like I've

645
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: seen the guy fold now. I think Jared Goff is

646
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: mentally tougher now than he was five or six years ago,

647
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,399
Speaker 1: three or four years ago. I also think he's playing

648
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: in front of a much better offensive line, so it's

649
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: harder to hit him. And if Nick Bose is not

650
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: dominating the game, like Chase Young, where are you do you? Exist? Like,

651
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,879
Speaker 1: who's gonna pay that guy? Eric Armstead like need something?

652
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: Paying fifteen million dollars a year. I know you're banged

653
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: up Hardgrave, you're making twenty million dollars a year. A

654
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: lot of cash invested into those cats up front and

655
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 1: they need plays, and if they hit Jared Goff, the

656
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: Lions have no chance. If they're not touching him and

657
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 1: Debo's not playing, game get weird, and the game get

658
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: weird fast because the Lion's got a bunch of good players. Obviously,

659
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,919
Speaker 1: you don't make it this far without having high end talent.

660
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: And I think the scary thing is big picture is

661
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 1: like they got a lot of you high in talent,

662
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: Like I don't think the Lions are going anywhere. That's

663
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 1: just some initial thoughts on the on the games. It

664
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: makes me sad sometimes when I think, like, God, football

665
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 1: is going away forever obviously just for you know, like

666
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: eight months till it comes back, and really not totally

667
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: because we get free agency, then we get the draft.

668
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: But I like the games. One thing I saw today

669
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: a story that was just kind of like something's weird here.

670
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: Last year when Vic Fangio went to the Dolphins. Everyone

671
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: knew that he was going to go to the Eagles.

672
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: But then when Jonathan Gannon and they make the Super Bowl,

673
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: they couldn't fire the guy that was their coordinator in

674
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, like Joe Barry. If the Packers had

675
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: beat the Niners, and then beat the Lions and go

676
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl, Like Joe Barry's keeping this job

677
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: just a reality of the business, right. But once they

678
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: got that for because they probably thought about firing if

679
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 1: they had lost the Giants or even the forty nine ers.

680
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if Jonathan Gannon was sett in Stone.

681
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: They we fired him Golfic Fangio once they made the

682
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: run and it didn't look like he was going to

683
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: become a head coach. Vic Fangiel's like, guys, I love Philadelphia,

684
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,320
Speaker 1: I'm from this region, but I got to take a

685
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 1: job and they're offering me a ton of money. So

686
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 1: he goes to the Dolphins. Obviously, then that's why Howie

687
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,760
Speaker 1: and the Eagles went after the Arizona Cardinals for tampering.

688
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: But then today when and news breaks that Fangio has

689
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 1: mutually departed with the Dolphins, and listen, I don't have

690
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: much information beside the Pelasaro Adam Schefter tweet, and all

691
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 1: signs point to him going back to the Eagles. This

692
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: is a cutthroat business, like this is no different than

693
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: most people listening. The industries you're in, whether you're in

694
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: the restaurant business, the alcohol business, the fucking software business,

695
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: the medical sales business. We're all in businesses that you

696
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: got to be pretty aggressive and at times pretty cutthroat

697
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: and draw a line in the stand and say there's

698
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 1: a we have a contract for a reason. And the

699
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: difference between college football and the National Football League is

700
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: like a player can leave wherever in college football, a

701
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 1: coach can leave wherever. Do you notice in football like,

702
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: I just can't. I just want Sean McVay to be

703
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 1: my coach. I'm the Dallas Cowboys, and I can't just

704
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,760
Speaker 1: take Sean McVay. If this was college football, Sean McVay

705
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: would be getting enormous offers from people like the Cowboys.

706
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: The Eagles'd be like, hey, we'll pay it forty million

707
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: dollars a year. But that not possible. Doesn't have no

708
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:04,320
Speaker 1: different with coordinators, I can't just take someone else's awesome

709
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, right, you can't. The Eagles can't just like hey,

710
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson, if you don't get a job, we'll pay

711
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: you ten million dollars to be our offensive coordinator. College

712
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: it happens all the time because in football, like I

713
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: signed you to a two or three you know, year contract, wink,

714
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 1: Martindale had signed a three year basically like ten million

715
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: dollar contract. So one of the things when he's like,

716
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: f it, I'm out, he had to hand back that money, right,

717
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 1: he said, I'm not working for this guy anymore. Why

718
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: would the Dolphins not want Fangio to stay? Clearly they

719
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: weren't mad at him or anything, because it's not like

720
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: they had fired him. Obviously if you watch them play,

721
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 1: they had a million injuries. What was he supposed to do?

722
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 1: And I think we all acknowledge he's one of the

723
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 1: better defensive coordinators in the NFL, like the Eagle. If

724
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: if the roles were reversed and the Dolphins wanted the

725
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 1: Eagles coordinator who the Eagles did not want to give

726
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 1: up over hell or high water, would they allow this

727
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: to happen? Now? The Eagles are cutthroat, they do not

728
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: mess around, and clearly look how this played out, like

729
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: they were aggressive forcing this to happen. How can the

730
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:14,280
Speaker 1: Dolphins allow this? If anything is like okay, we're semi okay,

731
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: like maybe we want a different scheme or whatever. You

732
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: gotta trade us like a third round pick for the guy.

733
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 1: We're just gonna hey, we'll just give your money back whatever,

734
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: you just will just rip up the contract. We don't

735
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: know you any money. You can do whatever you want,

736
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: Like Vic Fangil is not gonna struggle to get a job.

737
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 1: So hell, we saw it last year Sean Payton wanted

738
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: Vic Fangil, but Vic Fangil wouldn't go back to the

739
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos because he had just been fired. So I

740
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: just I can't fathom there's a fine line between like

741
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: treating someone right and doing classy things in business and

742
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 1: like doing business and sometimes doing business. It's listen, it's

743
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: if you go on the X channel, as my mom

744
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: calls it, and see the way the media reacts to

745
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 1: a lot of stories, like they don't really understand. They're

746
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: all all emotion. Like sometimes in business you gotta remove

747
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: the emotion. It's pretty black and white. Like I'm not

748
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: just allowing you to go to the fucking Eagles. I

749
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: don't care they're not in our division. I don't care

750
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: that we don't play them. It does not matter. This

751
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: is not the way. This is not some industry standard

752
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,399
Speaker 1: that we just have to let you walk. We paid

753
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:17,879
Speaker 1: you a lot of money and hired you for a reason.

754
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 1: We want you here. You're good. You came here for

755
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: a reason. Now you just change your mind. Like and

756
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: I'm all for like contracts are meant to be broken,

757
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 1: totally agree. But if this is just because, like yeah,

758
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: just rather be in Philly seems a little crazy to me.

759
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:35,919
Speaker 1: And it seems like the Eagles are kind of working

760
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 1: the Dolphins here. Maybe the Dolphins just they've been through

761
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: enough shady things over the years they don't really want

762
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: to get into the weeds. But I don't know. Something

763
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 1: doesn't that up. Okay, let's dive into the mailbag at

764
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: John middle cooffs the instagram at John middle Cooffe is

765
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: the Instagram. Fire in those dms and get your question

766
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:03,959
Speaker 1: answer here on the show, like Brian love the show,

767
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: appreciate you. Obviously, football is brutal and exhausting and players

768
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: can get gassed, especially at the end of games. Is

769
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: it regular practice for teams to pound caffeine or energy

770
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 1: drinks during games? I think the short answer there is no.

771
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 1: This is not baseball where you see guys drinking red

772
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 1: bulls all the time because of the sweat that I mean,

773
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: maybe sweat a little less I guess than freezing cold temperatures.

774
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 1: But you can't have a I think a diuretic. I'm

775
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: out no trainer here, medical professional, but you don't as

776
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: someone who I'm addicted to caffeine, but you couldn't drink

777
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: caffeine drinks and afford to get a cramp during the thing,

778
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: So I would say no. I mean, you're talking about

779
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 1: some of the greatest athletes in the world, and I

780
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: think that's why nutrition and hydration are so big for

781
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: these guys, eating the right foods and drinking the proper fluids,

782
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: which typically is like water and electric lights, and the

783
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,800
Speaker 1: right type of intake on game day. I would imagine

784
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 1: young guys, you know, rookies, whatever, but any veteran player

785
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: very very strict on what these guys are eating right

786
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: and putting into their body in general, in caffeine mid

787
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: game like a red Bull, even if it was sugar free.

788
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: Just that's not no, not happening. Good question, though, I

789
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 1: mean you and I wouldn't need them. Isn't irrational to

790
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 1: think that the NFC winner needs to blow out their

791
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: opponent in order to prove that they won't get smoked

792
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: by whoever's coming out of the AFC. Well, I think

793
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: the Lions or that, and obviously the Niners can play

794
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs like this version of the Chiefs given

795
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,959
Speaker 1: the you know, they just struggle to score, like they're

796
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: not exactly explosive offense. But I do think the Ravens.

797
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: I'm talking to Stucky. We usually record on Thursday, that'll

798
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 1: come out on Friday. Last week we kind of did

799
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 1: some potential matchups, and the four nine ers would have

800
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,320
Speaker 1: been favored before the second round against the Ravens. I

801
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: think that's crazy to me. Right now, we've already seen

802
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: them play what we just went into the forty nine ers.

803
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: Regardless of how they look, if the Ravens win on Sunday,

804
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,399
Speaker 1: they have to be the favorite in the Super Bowl.

805
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: They could not be getting points. So I think it

806
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: would be like, yeah, I mean, I think the Niners

807
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: are Lions, could be the Chiefs. You know. I think

808
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: the Ravens, if they play their A game, are going

809
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: to be very, very tough to beat because how good

810
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,800
Speaker 1: their defense is and their offense is explosive. Now doesn't

811
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 1: mean like the Niners can win that game. The Niners

812
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: are actually suited if Deebo's healthy for a dome. Their

813
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: explosive offense, how just their quarterbacks comfortable in a dome.

814
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: Not like I would count them out. The Lions, their

815
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 1: past defense is so terrible, would be a lot more

816
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 1: difficult against the Ravens that they would be probably a

817
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:58,839
Speaker 1: touchdown underdog, maybe more, maybe less six and a half

818
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: seven points. Don't get me wrong, I think Burrow is

819
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: a great NFL quarterback. However, I do think he's a

820
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 1: tat overrated. I would take Lamar Allen Love and Caleb Williams,

821
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams over him. I think he's two injury prone,

822
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: and then Jake Browning stepped in and had better stats.

823
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 1: I would love to know your top five quarterbacks in order.

824
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 1: I can't one injury. I know he got injured his

825
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: rookie season, but the back to back seasons of I

826
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 1: guess was that his third season of going to the

827
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and last year going toe to toe with

828
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: Mahomes in Kansas City who ended up winning the Super Bowl.

829
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 1: I can't just write him off. Caleb Williams, I don't know.

830
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: I can't go that far. I can't Jordan Love, Jordan

831
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 1: Love over Joe Burrow. I saw Joe Burrow guy was

832
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 1: winning the Super Bowl in the fourth quarter and playing well,

833
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: so I would have Mahomes number one, and then depending

834
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: on how they're playing, some order of Josh Allen, Lamar

835
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: Jackson and Joe Burrow again, Joe Burrow's gotta be healthy.

836
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: If you tell me Joe Burrow's misses the next season

837
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 1: with another injury, okay, then I would hear it. Let's

838
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,800
Speaker 1: just see how you know. I saw Joe Burrow this

839
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 1: year healthy. He put up like thirty five points on

840
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,919
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers with his eyes closed. He's fucking good.

841
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: So I'd pump the brakes there a little bit. But

842
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: you know, given right now that he's injured, it would

843
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: have to be Mahomes, Lamar and Allen. You know, listen,

844
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: I would take Josh Allen over Lamar. But if you

845
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: took Lamar over Josh Allen, I'm not gonna argue with you.

846
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 1: I still think Josh Allen, how good he was the

847
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: other night, and you can be like, well, his stats,

848
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what I witnessed. I've been watching sports

849
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: for thirty plus years. That's as good as it gets.

850
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: I mean, that's it doesn't get much better than the

851
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 1: way I thought he was playing. I'm not saying he's perfect.

852
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: He's gonna miss some plays. I think he's a pretty

853
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:56,359
Speaker 1: special player. Lamar wins this game. It's gonna be hard,

854
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 1: you know, be hard not to pick him. But I

855
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: think those as have separated from the class their physicality,

856
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 1: their toughness, their mental toughness, their ability to play in

857
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 1: cold weather. My wonderful wife is sending this message on

858
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 1: my behalf heading to San Francisco for the game this weekend.

859
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: How fun first ever Niners game. What's a good spot

860
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: near the stadium to try and catch the AFC championship

861
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: prior to the game the shitty part about where the

862
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 1: Niners and listen. I'm not a big South Bay guy.

863
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 1: I've always been. I live on the other side of

864
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 1: the Bay Bridge from the Sacramento area, lived in Walnut Creek,

865
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 1: lived in Emoryville. Like, I don't really do the South Bay,

866
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: though I like Palo Alto and Stanford. That area is

867
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: kind of an industrial There are some hotels. There's like

868
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: a big Hilton. I would guess go to one of

869
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 1: the hotels, but there's not like. This isn't like Philadelphia

870
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: where there's a bunch of sports bars around it. It's

871
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: not really the setup. So I've never whenever I've gone

872
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 1: to a game I have, I guess a lot of times.

873
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 1: I mean, back in the way a long time ago,

874
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:58,360
Speaker 1: I used to have a media pass. I would just

875
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:02,439
Speaker 1: go watch the game upstairs. But I would, I guess,

876
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: try to go to one of the hotels. But depending

877
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 1: on where you're parking, it can be a little complicated.

878
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 1: It's not a great setup for that, to be honest

879
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 1: with you, So I don't really have a great answer,

880
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: because it's not like there are a bunch of bars

881
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 1: there on the strip. It's not really just not how

882
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: it works. And you can't kind of go around the

883
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: corner to a bar because parking is such a shit show.

884
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 1: So I guess what I would try. If you really

885
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: want to watch the AFHC Championship, get the game, you know,

886
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: get there what times the game kickoff three thirty Pacific

887
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 1: Standard time. Maybe try to get there like eleven ish

888
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: and try to weasel your way into one of the

889
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 1: hotel bars. Honestly, I've never even been to the hotel,

890
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 1: so I don't know how great the hotel bar is.

891
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: But I would google and look into that question. For you.

892
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,320
Speaker 1: As a Commanders fan and not having much to be

893
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,439
Speaker 1: cited about in the last thirty years, if Adam Peters

894
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: end up hiring a defensive minded head coach, should the

895
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:57,240
Speaker 1: fans trust Peters with the decision and still be excited

896
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 1: about a fresh start. Adam Peters now has had a

897
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 1: front row seat with Bill Belichick. He worked in the

898
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 1: office for a long period of time, and then he

899
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: went with John Elway and was around John Fox, and

900
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: then Kubiak who won the Super Bowl with Peyton, and

901
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:18,359
Speaker 1: then for the last whatever six seven years, every day

902
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 1: of practice that I've ever went to, Adam's right there

903
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: with John Lynch and Kyle in the middle of the field.

904
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: And obviously he goes hand in hand with John Lynch,

905
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 1: so he's a front row seat with Kyle Shanahan. But

906
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: he also got to be around Demico and Robert Sala

907
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 1: and Bobby Slowick and Mike McDaniel. So, like, I think

908
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 1: he's got a pretty good idea what to look for

909
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 1: in a head coach. From Belichick to Lway to now

910
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 1: Lynch and Kyle and all the guys coming out under

911
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, I would give him the benefit

912
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 1: of the doubt. I really would. I listen, I'm biased.

913
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 1: I think consider Adam a friend, I think he's a stud.

914
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 1: I think you should be fucking thrilled that he accepted

915
00:48:56,480 --> 00:49:00,720
Speaker 1: your job. Initially, I was irritated by all the shows

916
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,879
Speaker 1: and Collins feed was sending me. But once I found

917
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 1: your show, I realized it was worth it. Sounding my girlfriend,

918
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 1: do you think Kyle is obligated to bring back Wilkes

919
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: if they make or win the Super Bowl? I don't

920
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:14,760
Speaker 1: think he's terrible, but it's hard to watch the Niners

921
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: get run all over and not register any sacks. I

922
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 1: got news for you, Like, I'm not a huge Steve

923
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: Wilkes guy relative. Now I can like I've seen Demiko

924
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,320
Speaker 1: the last two years, and I think Demiko is a superstar.

925
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 1: He's not getting fired one And to this kind of

926
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:33,360
Speaker 1: a personnel problem. You know, Armstead's old and he's banged up.

927
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 1: Chase Young like seems like a good guy, kind of

928
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 1: is not very good at football, like not anywhere near

929
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: the number two overall pick. Javon Kinlaw is an all

930
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 1: time bust. Might be injuries or whatever, but he's not

931
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 1: any good. So you have a lot of play and

932
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 1: Hargrave is is like an elite role player. Like if

933
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 1: you put if Armstead was healthy, and they had another

934
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 1: good defensive end beside Nick Bosa, Hargrave would dominate and

935
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 1: actually he's a Pro Bowl level player, but he can't

936
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 1: just like he won't just turn into some I don't

937
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: even know, like Dandamikan Sue like he can just stop

938
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: the run or I'm trying to think of like a

939
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 1: big defensive tackle there the Ravens guys like just big lumbering.

940
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 1: He's small, he's a pass rusher, so the run not

941
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 1: stopping the run is more of an indictment in my

942
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 1: opinion on the defensive lineman like Bosa is good against

943
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 1: the run, and Fred Warner while he's an elite chase

944
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: guy inside to side like he can't if you get

945
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 1: a body on him, he's not. You know, this isn't

946
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 1: like a Levon Kirklin coming downhill old school reference for

947
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 1: my younger folk. Hi John, this is German from Lima, Peru.

948
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 1: Fan of three and out since last year. I like

949
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,800
Speaker 1: this guy very international here. Do you think Jalen hurts

950
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 1: great season might just be an outlier because without the

951
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two season, all his college in pro has

952
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 1: just been okay. I would say I'd be a little

953
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 1: nervous about that. If I was the Eagles, I would

954
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 1: now I'm I'm one of those people that was not

955
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:11,800
Speaker 1: very high on him coming out of college. I just

956
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: didn't think he could throw the ball well enough. I

957
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 1: thought he was much more inclined to be a running

958
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 1: back in the NFL. And then I watched last season

959
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 1: and he shut me up. I was like, got it

960
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 1: kind of. And then obviously the character, the work ethic,

961
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 1: the toughness, I'm like, I like those type guys. I

962
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 1: have never had an issue coming around on a player once.

963
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 1: As you get to know him all the character stuff,

964
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 1: You're like, this guy stands for everything I want in

965
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 1: a player, toughness, work ethic, desire, coachability. So I will

966
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 1: gravitate toward those guys. But there it does seem like

967
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 1: he's just sitting in the pocket throwing the ball, like

968
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 1: because it can be a little hit or miss, which

969
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 1: was one of the knocks on him in college, Like

970
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 1: he's not a true pocket quarterback. He's more of a playmaker.

971
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 1: And then what happened this year as the season went on,

972
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:01,399
Speaker 1: they were like running him less, like I watched Lamar

973
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: at any moment, like they still run him like part

974
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 1: of one of Jalen's best attributes is running for the

975
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 1: middlecoff Mailbag, Should the Chiefs fire Matt Naggy after the

976
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,399
Speaker 1: struggles on offense this season? If they do not win

977
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 1: this weekend? I got news for you. If Andy Reid

978
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,919
Speaker 1: were to retire, I think they would hire Mat Naggy

979
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: to be their next head coach. College teammates with Bretviach,

980
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 1: the quarterback swears by him. Matt Naggi would be the

981
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,320
Speaker 1: next coach of the Chiefs. I'm pretty confident on that.

982
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 1: So not only were they not going to fire him,

983
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 1: they love Matt Naggy in Kansas City. I was thinking

984
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 1: about this the other day. Now biased on this one

985
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:44,439
Speaker 1: as well. Matt Naggy's a friend, love a guy, bald

986
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 1: brother he did. I mean, I guess he inherited him.

987
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 1: He got there. Mister Whiskey was his quarterback. I'm not

988
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 1: saying Naggy's ten year was perfect. I'm not defending. We

989
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:58,480
Speaker 1: all watched the games they were mister Whiskey, We saw

990
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:02,880
Speaker 1: mister Bisky this year almost got Mike Tomlin fired. Mailbag

991
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: love the show. Question for the bag, would it be

992
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 1: worth it for a team like the Vikings to pick

993
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 1: up Dereck Henry's contract after ten years? Is he worth

994
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 1: what he now costs? Also, is there somehow for me

995
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: to get be able to get NFL film. I'm pretty

996
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,760
Speaker 1: sure that Derek Henry is just an unrestricted free agent.

997
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:30,359
Speaker 1: I don't think Derrick Henry is under contract, so I'm

998
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 1: pretty sure anyone can sign him. Let me just double

999
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 1: check this Derrick Henry because part of trading for him.

1000
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 1: He's an unrestricted free agent, so you do not need

1001
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 1: to trade for him or anything. I think the question

1002
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 1: is what's he gonna cost? Like Derrick Henry these last

1003
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:49,319
Speaker 1: couple of years, I mean since twenty twenty, now he's

1004
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:52,280
Speaker 1: earned this. He was obviously one of the great running backs.

1005
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:55,720
Speaker 1: I mean, hell I've ever seen, but truly of his generation.

1006
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,799
Speaker 1: Fifteen million dollars, thirteen million dollars, thirteen million dollars, twelve

1007
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 1: one seven million dollars like he's used to making a

1008
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 1: lot of coin. Is he just gonna be available for

1009
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 1: four five million dollars or is he still in his

1010
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 1: mind when we saw that last game of the season

1011
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 1: he ran for I forget the exact total, like a

1012
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: buck fifty five, a buck sixty against the Jags to

1013
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 1: end their season. Dude can still play, clearly takes care

1014
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: of his body, very serious about football, high character guy.

1015
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: So I would guess someone gives him like two years

1016
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:27,719
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars, you know, like ten a year and

1017
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 1: guarantees maybe ten something like that would be my guess

1018
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 1: on the contract for him. The NFL film. If you

1019
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 1: want to watch the All twenty two I think you

1020
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 1: got to. You gotta get the NFL. I forget what

1021
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:41,719
Speaker 1: it's called. I have it to watch all the games

1022
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 1: NFL package or not the YouTube TV thing, but the

1023
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 1: NFL has like a NFL rewind you can watch all

1024
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:52,400
Speaker 1: the games back and they have after usually like by Tuesday,

1025
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: they have the All twenty two film. It actually like

1026
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:57,479
Speaker 1: a lot of people in the media that talk about

1027
00:54:57,520 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 1: it make it sound like it's a lot cooler than

1028
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 1: it is. I don't think you'd watch probably as much

1029
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 1: as you'd think you would. I guess this is what

1030
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm not a forty Niner fan, but due

1031
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:09,879
Speaker 1: to serving in Hawaii, I only get the California teams

1032
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:12,400
Speaker 1: without paying extra, so I typically watch and root for

1033
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: the Niners. You and Coward often say how you would

1034
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:18,720
Speaker 1: rather prefer a young head coach to be your offensive

1035
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:22,280
Speaker 1: play caller. However, I think last Saturday in the Packer

1036
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,279
Speaker 1: versus Niner game proved there's two sides to this. Since

1037
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: Kyle is the offensive play caller and the head coach,

1038
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,359
Speaker 1: there's no one to radio into the headset and tell him, Hey,

1039
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,760
Speaker 1: it's raining, party, can't grit the ball. We have Christian

1040
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:38,799
Speaker 1: McCaffrey run the damn thing. I think Kyle should really

1041
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 1: have someone in that organization that can tell him if

1042
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 1: something isn't working and get him away from his plan,

1043
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: because oftentimes you're in the fog of war and it

1044
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 1: can cloud your judgment. I would tend to agree, like,

1045
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 1: if you're in the battle and the fog of war,

1046
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 1: whether it be legitimate war or comparing this to football,

1047
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:00,840
Speaker 1: if it's a super tight game, could be the difference.

1048
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 1: That's pretty obvious, Like I can't give him the fog

1049
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:08,439
Speaker 1: of war, like his quarterback couldn't grip the ball. He's

1050
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 1: standing right there and calling all the place. He's forty

1051
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 1: four years old, he's been an offensive coordinator for like

1052
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:16,880
Speaker 1: fifteen years in the NFL, So I think there's a

1053
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 1: fine line of like, hey, you need someone to tell

1054
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 1: you when to challenge when to do certain things. Totally

1055
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 1: agree if you can't see as one of we all

1056
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:29,480
Speaker 1: acknowledged one of the best play callers in the league

1057
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 1: and one of the best offensive minds. Like, hey, Deebo's injured,

1058
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 1: your quarterback's fucking skipping balls and airmailing them. Let's I

1059
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 1: don't know, handed off to this dude from Stanford who's

1060
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 1: pretty good that you hand it to all the time.

1061
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 1: It'd be one thing. It's like, well, he just never

1062
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:45,759
Speaker 1: gives it to Christian for whatever reason. He literally rides

1063
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:48,759
Speaker 1: him like he's in the Kentucky Derby's. That was the

1064
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:52,439
Speaker 1: craziest part about that game. Question for the show, what's

1065
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:56,279
Speaker 1: the bigger issue Purty's physical limitations going forward as a

1066
00:56:56,320 --> 00:57:00,120
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback or the immediate concerns on both the O

1067
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: and D lines not winning the line of scrimmage? I

1068
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 1: asked in a light of the pressure on Shannan to

1069
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 1: deliver a Super Bowl. Well, they don't have to make

1070
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,399
Speaker 1: a decision on pretty for years, Like you don't even

1071
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:13,839
Speaker 1: have to extend the guy like they extended the guy

1072
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 1: for Jalen Hurts after the third year because they thought

1073
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 1: he was going to be a superstar. Right, if they

1074
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 1: knew he would have been had this year that he

1075
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: just had, they wouldn't have done it because they would

1076
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 1: have got him at cheaper price this season. Like to me,

1077
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:27,439
Speaker 1: they don't even need to pay party for a couple

1078
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 1: of years. So, like, his physical limitations kind of are

1079
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 1: what they are, Like we know, we see him. His

1080
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 1: arm strength is like, he's not going to change. His

1081
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:42,400
Speaker 1: ability to grip in the rain so far has been

1082
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 1: pretty consistent. They've invested so much in the defensive line,

1083
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: their defensive line coach, there's a decent chance Stoutlin with

1084
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:52,880
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Wouldn't shock me if he makes like three

1085
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:55,360
Speaker 1: or four million dollars as the O line coach. I

1086
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:58,000
Speaker 1: would imagine their defensive line coach Chris Caseric and the

1087
00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 1: San Francisco is a top five position coach makes millions

1088
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 1: of dollars a year because he's good. But his unit

1089
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 1: right now is underachieving. Maybe they are what they are

1090
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:11,120
Speaker 1: now because of their age and their injuries. I don't know.

1091
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: So I would say the biggest concern coming up these

1092
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 1: next two weeks would be the lines. Right, you gotta

1093
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 1: handle if you play the Ravens or the Chiefs their

1094
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 1: defensive line. Chris Jones, Karlovskis all the dudes on the

1095
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 1: Ravens in defensive line, Like, can you get pressure on

1096
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 1: either Mahomes or Lamar Jackson? Hell to beat the Lions,

1097
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 1: you gotta get pressure on Jared Goff? Will you please

1098
00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:34,800
Speaker 1: talk about this one? No one is talking about it.

1099
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 1: With one thirty three left and only one time out

1100
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 1: for the Bucks on pay per three, knee should pretty

1101
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 1: much end the game. The first big mistake is by

1102
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,920
Speaker 1: Goff when he takes a knee on second down with

1103
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 1: sixteen on the playcock and one zero six in the game.

1104
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 1: The Buccaneers could have used their time out here and

1105
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:54,400
Speaker 1: they would have got the ball back with twenty seconds left.

1106
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:57,680
Speaker 1: You can actually see Dan Campbell realize their mistake at

1107
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:00,960
Speaker 1: this point as he puts his headset back on, trying

1108
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:05,000
Speaker 1: to act nonchalant as to not make Tampa where Goff

1109
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 1: then inexplicably makes an even bigger mistake by snapping the

1110
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 1: ball with fourteen seconds left on the play clock on

1111
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:15,200
Speaker 1: third down and taking a knee at thirty seven seconds.

1112
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 1: He must have thought they were out of timeouts. Bucks

1113
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:20,240
Speaker 1: could have called the timeout and got the ball back

1114
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 1: with roughly thirty seconds. Yeah, I saw Florio writing about

1115
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 1: this h today. You just stupid nowhere around it. When

1116
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 1: you get into a position at the end of the

1117
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 1: game under two minutes and you have the ball and

1118
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 1: the other team has a limited amount of timeouts, under

1119
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 1: no circumstances can you ever snap the ball with anything

1120
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:49,400
Speaker 1: more than four or five seconds on the clock. To

1121
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:52,480
Speaker 1: snap the ball in the teams when you're a player

1122
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:56,560
Speaker 1: of a quarterback of Goff's experience and have Ben Johnson

1123
00:59:57,320 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 1: is inexcusable. Maybe I was in a fog during that.

1124
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Maybe once they won, I walked into my you know,

1125
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:04,200
Speaker 1: once Baker through the pick, I walked into my office.

1126
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:09,000
Speaker 1: I don't totally remember, but watching it live, I didn't

1127
01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 1: feel like having read about it today and seeing yours.

1128
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 1: But yet it can't happen. You cannot snap the ball

1129
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 1: if you're just gonna kneel the ball with anything. I

1130
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:20,440
Speaker 1: mean ideally like two seconds, right, you give yourself a

1131
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:22,760
Speaker 1: little leeway, you don't want to get delayed games, but

1132
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 1: three two seconds. Anytime that you're snapping the ball and

1133
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 1: there's double digits on the playclock, it's just like what

1134
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 1: are we doing? Guys? As a Dolphins fan, I was

1135
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:33,960
Speaker 1: all in tanking for Tuoa, but I have finally seen

1136
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 1: the light. By no means do I think he's bad,

1137
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 1: But we're just not being the elite in the AFC

1138
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 1: with him with cap issues? Should the Fins start a

1139
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:48,480
Speaker 1: hard reset? Tired of being mediocre? Just what teams do that?

1140
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 1: What teams have made the playoffs and back to back

1141
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:53,640
Speaker 1: seasons and go, Yeah, it's time for a hard reset.

1142
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:58,400
Speaker 1: That's what the media loves teams to do in the NBA, Like,

1143
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 1: why don't you just blow it up? Yeah, it's easy

1144
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 1: for you to say, we run a business, we need

1145
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 1: fans to watch our games. We don't want to suck. Plus,

1146
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 1: there is no like, there is no guarantee Like I

1147
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:13,960
Speaker 1: believe that Bears should and will draft Kleb Williams. I

1148
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:16,760
Speaker 1: think it's the right decision. There's no guarantee that he's

1149
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 1: just gonna become Mames or Josh Allen or that's Jalen Hurts.

1150
01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:24,919
Speaker 1: Even hell, is he gonna have Jared Gofsker who knows

1151
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:28,160
Speaker 1: We've seen over and over these We thought Trevor Lawrence

1152
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 1: was the next Andrew luck By year three, It's like,

1153
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 1: what's up with this guy? He's terrible? So I I

1154
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 1: don't know, man, I think you just you roll it

1155
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 1: back in next year he plays on a fifth year option,

1156
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:41,440
Speaker 1: and you just see where it goes. It's almost on

1157
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 1: that year by year situation. That's better than sucking it

1158
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:47,960
Speaker 1: really is. Because the other thing is your coach is

1159
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:51,200
Speaker 1: pretty good offensive mine that even if you traded him

1160
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:54,640
Speaker 1: and played with Mike White and Skyler Thompson, I don't

1161
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 1: think he would be like the number one picking team

1162
01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 1: in the draft. Wouldn't shock me if you drafted like ninth.

1163
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:02,480
Speaker 1: So it's like, what was all this for? We're winning

1164
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:06,960
Speaker 1: six games instead of nine or ten. I think you

1165
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:09,720
Speaker 1: would just always rather win nine or ten. Yeah, you go,

1166
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 1: We're never gonna win the Super Bowl? Who's really winning

1167
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? Fucking Mahomes is going every year and

1168
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 1: the only guys that have a chance to beat him

1169
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 1: are like Lamar Burrow and Josh Allen. How are you

1170
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 1: gonna acquire that? Where are you gonna find it? Try

1171
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 1: to draft a guy? Well, yeah you could, but what

1172
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:28,200
Speaker 1: if he's not that and you find a guy that's

1173
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 1: actually worse than Tuoa. Now it does get complicated once

1174
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:34,320
Speaker 1: you have to pay to up. I have questions for

1175
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:37,480
Speaker 1: the pod. What does Purty actually have to do to escape?

1176
01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 1: To escape the negative narratives? For months, the narrative has

1177
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:44,440
Speaker 1: been that we need to see him play from behind.

1178
01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 1: Playing from behind inherently implies that you do not have

1179
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:50,640
Speaker 1: a great start to a game, since otherwise you wouldn't

1180
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 1: be in a play from behind situation. I don't know

1181
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 1: if that necessarily, Like Josh Allen had to play from

1182
01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 1: behind in that game and he was playing well, So

1183
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:02,120
Speaker 1: I don't think it inherently means that you're not playing well.

1184
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 1: It just means that you don't have the lead in

1185
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:06,320
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. That does not mean you're playing bad.

1186
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:09,320
Speaker 1: On Sunday against the Backers, we saw Purdy play from

1187
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:11,920
Speaker 1: behind and bring his team back for the win. The

1188
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 1: narrative is now shifted to no one talking about how

1189
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:16,000
Speaker 1: he did not play well in the first part of

1190
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 1: the game, to how he didn't play well in the

1191
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:20,960
Speaker 1: first part. Had he played well the whole game, the

1192
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:23,120
Speaker 1: narrative would still be that we haven't seen him play

1193
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 1: from behind. I just think he's a very polarizing player

1194
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:30,920
Speaker 1: because we've talked about this over and over. He's the

1195
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 1: last pick in the draft. People want to say he sucks.

1196
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:37,240
Speaker 1: They just do. People do not want to acknowledge that

1197
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:39,640
Speaker 1: the kid can play. So like that is a huge

1198
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:42,480
Speaker 1: elephant in the room here. No one wants to admit, yeah,

1199
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:46,280
Speaker 1: he's pretty good because most people everyone changing the goalpost

1200
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 1: or whatever. Like you said, I get exhausted by it.

1201
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:53,040
Speaker 1: But like I think on the most basic premise, they

1202
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:54,640
Speaker 1: can't go I think the kid's a really good player.

1203
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 1: It's like, well, he's not Mahomes, he's not John Elway,

1204
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 1: so yeah, we got it. No shit, those guys were

1205
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:06,280
Speaker 1: drafted high and made hundreds of millions of dollars, super

1206
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:09,080
Speaker 1: Bowl champs, going to Super Bowls carrying their team. This

1207
01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:11,360
Speaker 1: guy's really good. He's on a really good team. Like, yeah,

1208
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 1: he's a good player. But part of and this is

1209
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:17,840
Speaker 1: why the NFL's king, because once you're a quarterback on

1210
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 1: a really really good team, whether you're a superstar or

1211
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:24,160
Speaker 1: whether you're the seventh pick, the last pick in the

1212
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 1: seventh round, we're gonna have opinions left and right about you.

1213
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 1: So I just think it's part of the territory. Ultimately,

1214
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:34,040
Speaker 1: it's irrelevant. They're in back to back NFC Championship games

1215
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 1: with him as a starter, and if they win this game,

1216
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 1: they will be in the Super Bowl. So I think

Speaker 1: famously say, they don't boo nobody's like we usually talk

1223
01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:09,120
Speaker 1: about people that matter, you know. I would say it's

1224
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 1: better than no one have an opinion on the guy.

1225
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:14,920
Speaker 1: The volume
