1
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: What is going on? Everybody? Middle cob breading out podcast

2
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: on My guy, Colin Coward's podcast network. Just wrapping up,

3
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 1: We'll not wrapping up. There's nine minutes left in this

4
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: Monday night football game. It's forty two to six Ravens.

5
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: I would imagine many of you watched. We will dive

6
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: into the game. What a you know to me? What's

7
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: the story of the game. Is it the embarrassment that

8
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: is McVeigh in the Rams or is it Lamar Jackson.

9
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: I might lean that it's McVeigh and the Rams, just

10
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: given we talked about it last week, how much the

11
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: league has invested in l A, how much Cronky's paying

12
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: six billion potentially for the stadium. Like we knew Lamar

13
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: was great, He's proven this year now he was excellent tonight.

14
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: Uh and it was, you know, Monday night football game.

15
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: So I'm and nothing away from him. They looked, I mean,

16
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: Cowart tweeted to get ready, they're going to the super Bowl.

17
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: I wouldn't go that far, just quite yet. But I

18
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't dispute the Ravens and Lamar Jackson or ask kickers.

19
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: But McVeigh AND's mcveigh's team quit I mean I thought

20
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: the Packers quit last night, that this was a wave

21
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: the white flag and quit. We'll dive into the Niners

22
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: and Packers game. Cowboys Pats of course, got gotta hit

23
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: on that. Carson Wentz and Sam Donald have a couple

24
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: of thoughts there. And then some college something with college

25
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: football that's really bothering me. And you saw it this

26
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: weekend with Auburn Alabama, you know, playing the Sisters of

27
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: the Poor and the School of the Minds. You know,

28
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: it's they need to get some uniformity there to make

29
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: these playoffs a little more, some more equality in college football,

30
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: because in college basketball they have it, they have more

31
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: of it, at least when you're kind of putting resumes

32
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: together and football it's a little more difficult. And that

33
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: I was having that argument actually before Oregon lost. Now

34
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: Oregon lost, so it changes it a little bit. But still,

35
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: I mean, they gotta figure this out. And then a

36
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: couple more. Uh. Middlecoff mail bag at John Middlecoff is

37
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: my Instagram handle, same as my Twitter handle. You slide

38
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: right into those Instagram d m s and I will

39
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: answer your question. Uh, any question you have is how

40
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: we interact here in the podcast. But let's start with

41
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: the Ramps. They were the defending NFC champs. Let me repeat,

42
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: the defending NFC champs. Now, it took a crazy call

43
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: in a Saints game to get him the Super Bowl,

44
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: but they were thirteen and three that they were awesome.

45
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: You know, goth was awesome last year. Todd Gurley was

46
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: a star until his knee arth ride has kicked up.

47
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh was the apple of everyone's eye. If you

48
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: knew Sean McVeigh, you got a job. Matt Lafleur, Cliff

49
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: Kingsbury literally had met him once. They wrote in his

50
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: bio he knows Sean McVeigh or friends with Sean McVeigh.

51
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: We saw it happen all over the league. And it's

52
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: the great part about pro sports is and it's I'd say,

53
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: it's no different life. You can go from the outhouse

54
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: to the penthouse and then back to the outhouse before

55
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: you even blank. And it's like all pro sports, but

56
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: especially in football, it'll humble you so fast. Clearly, Sean

57
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: McVeigh didn't become an idiot overnight, but I do think

58
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: his inexperience is coming into play. He only knows one

59
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: thing and those are the plays that the Shanahan family

60
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: has taught him. Uh, he knows nothing about defense. Wade

61
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: Phillips whose defense is falling apart, he can't help him.

62
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: And obviously the special teams coach, which is one of

63
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: the better ones in the league, Bones Fossil, Uh John

64
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: Fossil's or Jim Fossil whatever, the former New York Giants

65
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: coaches sons. Who's John bones Fossil? I think his name

66
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,839
Speaker 1: is especial teams coach. I mean mcveigh's had a really

67
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: good staff, but like he's not we we put him

68
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: on this pedestal like he was Bill Walsh. People forget

69
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: when Bill Walsh got the job. I'm pretty sure he

70
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: was like sixty years old when fine, when he finally

71
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: became a head coach, was in his sixties, not some

72
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: thirty five year old whiz kids in the sixties. So

73
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: my biggest takeaway from this game was not outcoached, out schemed,

74
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: like yeah, it's been happening to Sean kind of all season.

75
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: To me, his team quit like they tapped out. And

76
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about tap like the Packers last night,

77
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: quit with like five minutes left in the game. Well,

78
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: when you're down thirty points. Listen to our parents teach

79
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,119
Speaker 1: us to never quit. Right. There gets to a point

80
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: in certain situations in life and sports tends to be

81
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: won where late in game your way down, like whether

82
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: you quit or just stop trying a little bit, you're

83
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: not gonna win, so you just kind of concede. I

84
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: get it. The Rams quit and felt like in the

85
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: first half, I mean I looked up, it was twenty eight,

86
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: nothing like what is going on? Maybe it was, but

87
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: then as the game goes on, it just touchdown, touchdown,

88
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: touch They're not even trying. Are they not listening to

89
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: what this young hotshots saying anymore? And I'm I'm not

90
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: trying to shoot on him just because he's lost a

91
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: couple of games. I'm a fan. I wouldn't just write

92
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: them off. But they have major, major problems, and they're

93
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: huge economic ramifications of them sucking. I talked about it

94
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: the last podcast, Boring does not sell in California, and

95
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: that's what teams like the San Fransco Giants, one of

96
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: the biggest brands in all of professional baseball. We're getting

97
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: like fifteen thousand people to show up at different times

98
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: this year. Now they've announced thousand. That's bullshit. Half as

99
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: many people were actually in the or what I'd say

100
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: is the greatest new stadium in all of baseball. Because

101
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: they're born, they were unwatchable. They're my favorite team in

102
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: the world. I couldn't watch them, let alone. If you're

103
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: the Rams, where you know, do you have this kind

104
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: of history and people that will go to the gnat

105
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: for you. You left for twenty five years. Now you

106
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,799
Speaker 1: were cool the first couple of years. But it's fickle

107
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: society out here. People have already forgot about you. In

108
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: a town where Lebron and Anthony Davis are taking the

109
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: world by storm, they're like fifteen and two, and the

110
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: Lakers are on the Lakers worst a are bigger than

111
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: the Rams on their best day, and the Dodgers are

112
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: big like they're just fighting for real estate and the

113
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: price points. Whis cronky is is charging people unless you

114
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: were a major, major corporation and money meant nothing to you.

115
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: Like I talked to someone when I was in the

116
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: Niner game a couple of weeks ago, and they said,

117
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: the irony of a lot of our sweet sales were

118
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: not two companies or corporations. Some of them were, but

119
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,799
Speaker 1: a lot of them were to individuals because the household

120
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: income of the fan base in the area was so high. Well,

121
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: it would be the same thing in in uh in

122
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: l A. The difference was when the Niners moved into

123
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: Levi's and we're charging astronomical prices for sweets. They were

124
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: coming off three straight NFC championships and Jim Harbaugh and

125
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: their brand in this area is tenfold. Whatever the hell

126
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,799
Speaker 1: the Rams is in l A. And now the Rams

127
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: are losing, but worse than just losing their boring it's

128
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: forty two to six, was seven minutes left, and r

129
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: G three's at like the ten yard line as I'm speaking.

130
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: They put r G three in the game, so they're

131
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: just clowning and punking the ramps. Rams are just quit.

132
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: So I don't know what Crocky does. I'm not saying

133
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: I would fire anyone, but they're in a situation where

134
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: they don't have any first round picks for the foreseeable future.

135
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: They have a ton of a ton of money lined

136
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: up into a quarterback that's not playing very well. Of course,

137
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters picked him off tonight. Who stands no chance

138
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: with a bad offensive line simply put the Rams are

139
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: in shambles, and now the Ravens are kind of the

140
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: apple of everyone's eye, and rightfully so. Lamar Jackson. I

141
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: was wrong on him. He's a much better passer than

142
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: I ever believed he could be. But I got no

143
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: problem pivoting. Yeah, he's sweet. He's not only sweet, he's

144
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: box office Like. I wasn't gonna miss this game for anything,

145
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: and he delivered so to me, He's the guy you'd

146
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: want in l A that would sell some tickets. I'd

147
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: buy a ticket to go watch Lamar Jackson. I always said,

148
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: if you could buy one ticket to watch one player,

149
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: it'd be Russell Wilson, because even when he's average, he's

150
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: still entertaining. I'd put Lamar Jackson there too. He just

151
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: every time I watched him. He's worth the price of admission.

152
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: He's worth my time and my time like your time

153
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: is valuable. I say it all the time, Like the

154
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: NFL into professional sports leagues make all their money off

155
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: our time. So if you're willing to give them your

156
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: time in times the most valuable you know, arguably property

157
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: you know in the world. Right your time, you can

158
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: do anything with it. You could not watch it and

159
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: if if we all start watching football, they'd be in trouble.

160
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,479
Speaker 1: But when guys like Lamar Jackson are on the television,

161
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: you're getting we're gonna give their time. We just are.

162
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: It's just the commodity of the NFL knows. That's why

163
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: they love guys like Lamar Jackson and Deshaun Watson and

164
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: you know, and Nick Bosa stars. Why I thought Jared

165
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: goffin I was a fan, but god he You watched

166
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and Jared goff on the same field tonight

167
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: talking about j V and varsity and they gave him

168
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: a hundred and ten million dollars. Now out is this sustainable?

169
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: Can Lamar Jackson do it forever? Who cares? You know,

170
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 1: who cares? I'm not even gonna view him under that lens.

171
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna view him on just this guy's box office entertainment.

172
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: And you know, for a long time, Michael Vick was

173
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: and Florio tweeted a night stop comparing Lamar Jackson to

174
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: Michael Vick. Well, who the hell should we compare him to?

175
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: Florio rivers Eli? His cop is Michael Vick. Yeah, he

176
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: could be a better version of Michael Vick. People forget

177
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,719
Speaker 1: Michael Vick when he was drafting two thousand and one,

178
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: then a second year went to three straight Pro Bowls.

179
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: He's one of the most electrifying players we've ever seen.

180
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: Definitely in my thirty five years of life, I've ever

181
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: seen this guy is like a more button down version,

182
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: but he just has this innate instinct in the open

183
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: field to make ship happen. And he's running faster and

184
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: everyone doing spin moves in three sixties and hurdling guys

185
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: and then just throwing dimes. I know this when I

186
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 1: was young and like high school, do you know what

187
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: team I'd be for on Madden two thousand two. I

188
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: picked the Falcons and then I just run around with Vic.

189
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: If I still played video games, I would be the

190
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: Ravens and I would just run around with Lamar Jackson

191
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: and I would kick your ass and it would be

192
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: really really fun and hardball. I got a saft spot

193
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: for the hardball family. I root for him. It's cool

194
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: to see him with a with a fun quarterback. You know,

195
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: this guy went from starting, you know, with the Ravens

196
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: when their defense is really good with Ray and Ed

197
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: and Suggs and Heloti to now transitioning to what is

198
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: just this sweet offense, this unique offense and a team

199
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: I know. Colin tweeted like they're going to the super Bowl. Hell,

200
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 1: maybe they are now. Is Lamar gonna beat Belichick twice?

201
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: That would be an incredible accomplishment, especially if they had

202
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: to go on the road and Fox Bro. But I'll

203
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: be the first to say I wasn't just wrong on

204
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. I couldn't be more of a fan now,

205
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: especially when you read about the human. I say it

206
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: all the time. If I if I didn't like you

207
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: coming out, but then I read stories and here like

208
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: how good of a guy you are, I'll flip immediately.

209
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: Now where I will hold firm is when I don't

210
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: like you coming out and then I hear your slap

211
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: dick or think you're immature and don't really like you.

212
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: Like Baker, you know something about him. This year's kind

213
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: of rubbed me the wrong way. And I was a

214
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: Baker fan coming out, But even Josh Allen. Don't love

215
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen the player, but I root for the guy,

216
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: big fan of the person. You know, if you do

217
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: things the right way and represent the league the right way,

218
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: you get a fan out of me. Probably like most people.

219
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: We're all we're all relatively the same. Were like rooting

220
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: for good people. Now I can't live I've rooted for

221
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: bad people too. You know, this is pro sports. Some

222
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 1: bad people are sweet players and are fun to watch.

223
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: But Lamar Jackson seems to be one of the rare

224
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,599
Speaker 1: special players. Great kid, kind of the total package in

225
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: the in the Ravens franchise, quarterback at pick thirty two,

226
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 1: looking like a steel right now, Okay, let's dive into something.

227
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: We saw Sunday night. Packers at Levi Stadium playing the

228
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: forty Niners, and my one major takeaway not much change

229
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: on Green Bay. They laid an egg. You know, they

230
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: lost their right tackle do an injury. It's like they're

231
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: gonna win their schedule. They got the Redskins the Giants

232
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 1: coming up, that they're gonna end up with eleven or

233
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: twelve wins. Now, I don't know if they're gonna win

234
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: the division. I think Minnesota is really good. Huge Monday

235
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: night game a week from the way it where I'm

236
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: recording this a week from today, Seattle hosting Minnesota. That

237
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: game is huge. I mean it has massive, massive ramifications

238
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: on the playoffs. But my main takeaway with the forty

239
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: Niners are real and I wrote an article on the

240
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: Athletic today. You know it hit me for the first

241
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 1: time watching the game against the Packers, this team can

242
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. I never fully thought that. I mean,

243
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: I thought they were good before. When you're six and

244
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: oh seven and oh eight, no even being there live

245
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: to watch the game against Seattle, not like I I

246
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: still not much change. George Kittle was missing that game.

247
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 1: Is the real deal because they have a couple of things,

248
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 1: and these things always translate. One. They have an elite coach.

249
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 1: And when I say an elite coach, he's an elite

250
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: play caller. Kyle Shanahan is as good as it gets

251
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 1: when it comes to calling plays. He's an offensive quarterback guru.

252
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 1: He's the young version of Sean Payton, of Andy Reid.

253
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: He really is. He's special. I've been watching. I've had

254
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: a front row seat now for three and a half years.

255
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: And even in the years where they didn't win because

256
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer was their coach or quarterback the year Jimmy

257
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: got heard it was beethe heard and Nick mullins, it

258
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: was still impressive. Now, this first full year with Jimmy

259
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: starting every game. I think Jimmy's seventeen and three when

260
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: he started for Kyle Shanahan. So when Jimmy Garoblo starts

261
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: for Kyle Shanahan, they're gonna win a lot. And the

262
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: other thing this team has, which I really didn't expect,

263
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: because if you told me Jimmy was healthy Kyle Shanahan,

264
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: I'd be like, Yeah, the offense could be really good,

265
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: and it's been more than good enough. But it's the

266
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: toughness of this team. And I've been saying it forever

267
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: about the forty Niners in the history of this franchise.

268
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: Once they flipped a switch with Bill Walsh and they

269
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: started winning for twenty years, it's known as this haven

270
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: of offensive innovation. Walsh, Sefer Young. Now I know Seaffer

271
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: was a defensive guy, but Mike Shanahan was an assistant

272
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: coach to Young, to then Mary u Cheat and Garcia,

273
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: then Hardball Saves Alex Smith's career, Kaepernick, all those teams

274
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: in my lifetime. I was born in eighty four, so

275
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: I don't really remember Pete Joe. I'm a Steve guy.

276
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: My favorite team ever is the Niners and that offense

277
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: was unreal. Steve Young was the MVP the league, Jerry Rice,

278
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: went Nuts, Ricky Waters, Brent Jones. They had a ton

279
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: of all pros on offense. The team's defense was incredible.

280
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: They had Bryant Young, Workie of the Year, Dana stubble Field,

281
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: badass defensive tackle, Merton Hanks and Tim McDonald would destroy

282
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: you across the middle. They had this one guy named

283
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: Dion Sanders, greatest corner of all time. The other cornerback

284
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: Eric Davis, not a slug at all. Their defense was

285
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: loaded the hardball years, the first thing you think about

286
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: is defense, defense and running the ball. Toughness something the

287
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: forty nine have always hung your hat on when they

288
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: were good. Just asked running a lot, cut off his

289
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: pinky to keep playing. Still a fixture in the community

290
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: where I live. You feel them all over the Bay

291
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: Area's always the stuff. One of the toughest s obs

292
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: to ever walk this earth. Literally, I mean his dad,

293
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: I think was a marine. If running lasts not playing football,

294
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: he's in the military that There's no doubt in my mind.

295
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: He is a military man who just happened to be

296
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: one of the greatest defensive players in the history of football.

297
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: Do you think of the hardball years, Those teams would

298
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: destroy you you. I felt uncomfortable sometimes watching teams play

299
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: them because they would kill people. They would leave people

300
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: in figuratively saying body bags, like cracking skulls. This defense

301
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: right now is a little bit different, but their physicality

302
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: and team speed and toughness. Every single game they are

303
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: hitting as hard as any team in the league. And

304
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: it's not just one guy because all their guys can run.

305
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: They're crushing people. Obviously, their defensive line is elite. Nick

306
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: Bosa is a star. I was too harsh on him

307
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: as a prospect. I would have been wrong. He's far

308
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: superior than Quinn Williams. The two Oregon guys, Buckner and Armstead,

309
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: have been dominant. D Ford is a part time player

310
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: and he's an ass kicker. Fred Warner, this third rounder

311
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: from b y U, just gets ten to fifteen tackles

312
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: a game. But to me, where they separate, and this

313
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: is always worth Seattle separated and the forty nine is

314
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: a little bit in the hardbor era. But their corners

315
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: weren't great. It was just they had Golson and Wittner

316
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: and then they got Eric Reed. They had big hitting safeties, well,

317
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: the forty Niners all the or defensive backs. Tackle Richard

318
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: Truman is the greatest tackling corner in the history of

319
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: the league. He hits like he's a linebacker, so if

320
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna play in that unit, he sets the standard.

321
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: Everyone else just crushes people. Quas gu Tart, who they've

322
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: had on the team for a while, crushes Jimmy Ward.

323
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: No issue with hitting people. Then the corners they rotate

324
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: on the other side also hitters, So toughness always travels.

325
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: So you got an elite coach who can scheme with

326
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: any coach in the league. You have a defense and toughness,

327
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: and they're one of the best rushing teams in the league.

328
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: With their offensive line is just okay, but they have

329
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: a dominant fullback in Kyle Uschecker goes the Pro Bowl

330
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: every year. They argument the best tight end in the league,

331
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,239
Speaker 1: and George Kittle, who's not just a pass catching guy,

332
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: who's the best blocker in the league. So they go,

333
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: you want to run it, We're gotta we got five

334
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: offensive lineman and basically two other guys because our fullback

335
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: will crush your linebacker and Kittle will destroy your other linebacker,

336
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 1: and then Coleman, Breda, Wilson and Mozart will just run

337
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: it down your throat and Hyle, which is a unique

338
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: kind of characteristic for a young coach, will dial up

339
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: runs all day long, and then his favorite play call

340
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: is a play action. So they're one of the best

341
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: running teams in the league. Their whole scheme is dedicated

342
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 1: off the run, and the coach loves play action. That's

343
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: why they gash people. And then they hit these huge bombs.

344
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 1: Because Jerry Rice and Julio Jones do not play on

345
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: this team. You know, Emmanuel Sanders has like broken ribs.

346
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: He's their best wide receiver. Actually, Debo's not bad, but

347
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: he's banged up too. Dante Pettison, they draft in the

348
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,719
Speaker 1: second round, can't even sniff the field mark he's Goodwin,

349
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: the guy that's the fastest guy in the league, one

350
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: of the worst players in the league, was finally a

351
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: healthy scratch. He stinks. Kendrick Board, who actually sneaky kind

352
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: of like, is still Kendrick Board. That's the guy they

353
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 1: depend on. This team is really really good, and I

354
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: don't even think they fulfilled all this. Like what happens

355
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 1: in a year when they get good receivers. This team

356
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: is like a year ahead of time. Remember when the

357
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: Warriors that first year when Steve Kerr showed up, and

358
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: it's like they got Steph Clay, this guy Draymond. They

359
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: you know, Mark Jackson's underachieving well in the Bay Area.

360
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: When they fired Mark Jackson, people like me like, what

361
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: is Joe Lake of doing? This is nuts. The next year,

362
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: sixty seven wins in a championship and you know what,

363
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: it turns out the following year they won seventy three

364
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: games and the team was way better. Like this forts team.

365
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 1: Everyone's coming back next year and they got a first

366
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: round pick, like they're and some money. They're gonna be

367
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: better in two thousand twenty talent wise. Now are they

368
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: gonna have as good a record? All that stuff? I

369
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: don't know, but this team shouldn't have been as good

370
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: this fast, and they are. So it hit me for

371
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: the first time Sunday night. They have the talent to

372
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. And as a guy in the

373
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 1: league told me today and I wrote in the article,

374
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna come down to how well Jimmy plays in

375
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: big games. And for me, I no longer question Jimmy's

376
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: ability like he has. He can make every throw. He

377
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: has the pocket awareness, He clearly knows the offense. His

378
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: toughness to me is an A plus trade. You can

379
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: hit him directly in the chin, He'll get right back

380
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: up and be ready for the next play. The only

381
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: question mark I have, and it's a big one, is

382
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: he is inclined to throw some interceptions. So when you're

383
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 1: playing good teams like the Saints, the Vikings, Seattle and

384
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: they still play the Saints in Seattle down the stretch,

385
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: you can't afford to throw, especially those two teams on

386
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 1: the road, you can't throw a pick. So if he

387
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 1: throws a pick in one of those games, it'll cost

388
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: him the one seed. If he throws some big picks

389
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, it'll cost him, you know, potentially a victory.

390
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: But he clearly is talented enough, and you're gonna Jimmy's

391
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: gonna throw some picks in the next five years because

392
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: he's a playmaker and he pushes the envelope. That's why

393
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: sometimes you look up they can have forty five points.

394
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: But it's also he's gonna have to balance it. But

395
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: if he can learn how to balance it and he

396
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: flashed out against the Packers. Just be in control, just

397
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: kind of manage the game. They can win the Super Bowl,

398
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: and uh, I feel pretty confident about that. Okay, let's

399
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: get into the Patriot and Cowboy game is on on Monday.

400
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: That was leading all the shows, of course it was.

401
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: It was two biggest brands in the NFL in a

402
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: game that looked absolutely miserable. We'll start with the Patriots.

403
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: It hit me watching that game. Obviously, they have the

404
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: best coach ever, they have the best quarterback ever. They have,

405
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: you know, one of the great special teams cover guys ever.

406
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: I love Matthew Slater. Obviously, their defensive backs Gilmore is

407
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: becoming a star. He is a star that they're They

408
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: just figured out. They win for a reason. They're well coached,

409
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: they are finally buttoned up, highly tuned operation. But they

410
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: have this enormous advantage because they're always the one or

411
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: to see. They're always hosting these games Foxboro. It seems

412
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 1: like in the last twenty years, the games they've played

413
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 1: there late in the season, it's miserable. It's cold, snowing,

414
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: it's freezing, and every team they play, every single team

415
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 1: they play, the Mannings the Houston Texans. When I say

416
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 1: the Manning, I mean Peyton Manning when he was with

417
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: the Colts. Uh. The Chiefs avoided him last year and

418
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: they got him in Kansas City, and there they would

419
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: be the one team that's kind of equipped to playing

420
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: in terrible, terrible weather. But the Steelers always look uncomfortable there.

421
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: The Cowboys clearly did. How big of an advantage Foxboro

422
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: is for the Patriots for anyone that plays golf, you

423
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: know that, Like you can get a guy at his

424
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 1: home course and he's really, really comfortable, and let's say

425
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: he's a decent golfer and he can break eighty or whatever.

426
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: But then you take him to like some random course,

427
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 1: especially tough courses, and the dude just blows up, can't

428
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 1: sniff break in ninety because he gets out of his

429
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: comfortable environment. That's the thing that makes the Patriots great.

430
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: If they were a golfer, they shoot par in their

431
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 1: own home course. You can take them to Pebble Beach

432
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: and they're shooting seventy four. You take them to the

433
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: best course in Florida, they're shooting even. Take him to

434
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: Arono McK and Philly shoot one under. You know, take

435
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 1: him to Austin country club. They shoot one over. They're

436
00:22:55,160 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: good everywhere. The Cowboys look miserable in that environment. Belichick,

437
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: they practice outside, they look comfortable outside. Even Brady when

438
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: he's not playing that well, the weather doesn't FaZe him.

439
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: The weather doesn't phase their players because they're just immersed

440
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: in it. It just becomes part of their culture. You

441
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: just know when you play for New England, that's gonna

442
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: be where You're gonna play in shitty weather November December,

443
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: in January. Don't even think about complaining. We're just gonna

444
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: be cold, miserable and win. The Cowboys. Amari looked freezing.

445
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: Dad couldn't figure out his gloves. Jason Garrett has seventeen

446
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,719
Speaker 1: layers on, had no clue what was going on with

447
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: special teams or the kickers or the punters or when

448
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: to kick or what to do. And Bill was just like, yeah,

449
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 1: run another plate, Yeah, call another cover to yeah, get

450
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: another stop. It's just Foxborough is one of their It's

451
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: something we never talk about how big of an advantage

452
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: it is playing at Foxborough for them, because just how

453
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 1: unfazed they are by the cold. I was freezing cold

454
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: in a condo with the heat on. Just watching that game,

455
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 1: you all would have to agree that looked miserable. Now,

456
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 1: I don't pretend to be anything but a puss when

457
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: it comes to weather. Anything under sixty is freezing cold

458
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: to me. I hate the cold. I love the heat.

459
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: I could. I could be in a hundred five all

460
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: year long, no problem with it. Hate the despised the cold. Now.

461
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: I like skiing or whatever, but I drive the snow

462
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 1: and then I come home. I don't. When I lived

463
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 1: in Philly hated living in the cold. I like the heat.

464
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: So I have nothing but respect for the paths. And

465
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 1: they're built in home field advantage at Foxboro to go

466
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: along with all their other advantage about being smarter and

467
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: being better than you the Cowboys. By the time you

468
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 1: hear this, everything's been said, and I've said over and over.

469
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett, who's an Ivy League guy who people like

470
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: me intellectually, clearly way smarter. The degrees he has on

471
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,719
Speaker 1: his wall are much more impressive than mine. But if

472
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: you're really that smart and you have no balls and

473
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 1: are so conservative in every tight spot, does that really

474
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: make you that smart or does that make you just

475
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: kind of terrified? You're not even really using your intellectual advantages,

476
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 1: like how come every time he's in a tight spot

477
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: when it comes to like, God, Jason, you should probably

478
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: not kick a field goal here because the field goal

479
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: does nothing for you. The Patriots have done nothing on offense.

480
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: You're as close to the end zone is you're gonna get.

481
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: Maybe roll the dice on this one. Of course he doesn't.

482
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: He kicks the field goal and they end up losing

483
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: by four. Cool, you know if you had the if

484
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,479
Speaker 1: you had the Cowboys plus six, not cool if you're

485
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: trying to win the game. But whatever that's it was,

486
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: it wouldn't even have mattered because they probably wouldn't have

487
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: got the fourth and seven. They weren't gonna win that

488
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: game anyway. To me, the thing that defined that game

489
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 1: is the kicking game. And when you talk about coaching,

490
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: and obviously Jerry did, Belichick's pooching the kickoff into the wind,

491
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: and multiple times it felt like the Patriots were gonna

492
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: recover a kickoff that they kick like forty yards down

493
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: the field because the Cowboys didn't know where it was

494
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 1: gonna land and they were not putting a punt returner

495
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: back and Slater blocked a punt created a delay a game.

496
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: Again in another situation, Belichick's the former special teams coach.

497
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: He works on this ship all week long. This is

498
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 1: when he's quote unquote game planning. This is what he's

499
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: dealing with. Where Jason, you know, he's this quote unquote

500
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: the CEO. Well, how are you a CEO if you

501
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: don't know what the CFO does. If you don't know

502
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 1: what the CMO does, and you don't know what the

503
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: CEO does, Belichick's quote unquote the CEO. But he knows

504
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: what every position under him, their job title is, should

505
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: be doing and how to do it. Jason Garrett looks clueless.

506
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: You think Jason Garrett knows anything about the kicking game,

507
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: No chance. So if you're gonna know nothing about the

508
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: kicking game, nothing about defense, and now no longer even

509
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: call offensive place, how can you be a coach with

510
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: no balls and never pushed the envelope in any situation?

511
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: What are you bringing to the table beside a solid

512
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 1: waste line. You know, pretty chiseled jaw and an IVY

513
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: league education and he played in the league for a

514
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: little while, so you made some money. But I've always

515
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 1: defended Jason Garrett but this year has been a complete

516
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 1: abomination because you can't tell me, player for player that

517
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 1: the Cowboys aren't as good as the Patriots. Now, obviously

518
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: DAC is not comfortable in that environment. I'm not even

519
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 1: saying the Cowboys should have won, but it shouldn't have

520
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: looked like that, because one thing I've learned this year

521
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: more than ever, maybe I'm just watching the game a

522
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: little differently, is there is nothing less indicative of the

523
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: way a game goes, typically in the NFL than a

524
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: final score for every tight game. Like there are a

525
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: lot of tight games that end up ten point scores, right,

526
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 1: just like there are a lot of blowouts in the

527
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: NFL that are single digits. That was a four point game.

528
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: Four point game, my ass. That was a dominant Patriots win.

529
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: The Patriots, I felt watching that game ran circles around

530
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Yet if you just woke up and didn't

531
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 1: watch one staff of the game and he just clicked

532
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: open the box score like, oh, Cowboys almost won. No,

533
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: they did not almost win. Never once in my mind

534
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: that I think Cowboys are winning this game. Not once.

535
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 1: And I was rooting for the Cowboys, had a little

536
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: cash on the Cowboys, plus so I applauded Jason kicking

537
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: the field goal. But don't let anyone fool you. And

538
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: anyone that's listening to this probably watched the game. Y'all

539
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: know that was not a close game. Okay, let's get

540
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:43,719
Speaker 1: into a couple of quarterbacks here, Carson Wentz and Sam Donald.

541
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: We'll start with my man in Philadelphia, Carson Wentz one.

542
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: I'm a Carson Wentz fan. I think he is just

543
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: uber talented physically, He's everything you look for and I'm

544
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: rooting for. But it does and take You know, the

545
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: man on the moon can tell he's not playing well

546
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: right now. Now there are variables. His half, his team's injured.

547
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: Skill guys are injured. But watching that game against Seattle,

548
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: he's all over the place and talking to a buddy

549
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: in the league, one thing came up and I noticed

550
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: it as well. He has no touch on any pass

551
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: right now. Everything is a fastball. Everything is a fastball.

552
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: A little bit again, non political Kaepernick. When Kaepernick fell

553
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: off a map, people forget about it because all you

554
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: see are kind of woke tweets about Kaepernick. But there

555
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: was a period after hardball left in tom Seula came

556
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: in Google this if you want. The Arizona Cardinals openly

557
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: mocked Kaepernick, said he was terrible, but that that would

558
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: never come up in today's society. But in two has

559
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: of fifteen, I think it was Honey Badger and Tony

560
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: Jefferson called him a one read quarterback. And the offense

561
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: I think a high school level offense. Now, granted that

562
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: was Jeep Chris and Tom Seula, but still Carson Wentz right. Now,

563
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: like Kaepernick, he can't take anything off the ball. So

564
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: everything he throws is a hundred mile in our fastball,

565
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: and he has I mean an absolute host, so everything

566
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: is a frozen rope and it's really hard to catch

567
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: when a guy standing ten feet away from you. How

568
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: when a guy standing fifteen feet away from you, you

569
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: have to get touch on your passes. I don't blame

570
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: how he forgiven him the contract because they're always forward thinkers,

571
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: and whenever you talk to contractual people in the league,

572
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: they always say that you sign a contract now, in

573
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: like three years, it's under market value. This is not

574
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: the NBA. A contract like Chris Paul's doesn't look bad.

575
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: In a couple of years. The salary caps keeps rising

576
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: at you know, ten percent a year, you know, give

577
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: or take nine to twelve million dollars a year, and

578
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: the NFL contracts, unlike baseball and basketball, are never fully guaranteed.

579
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: So what most are stuck with a guy for like

580
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: three years. Now, when you pay a guy that's never

581
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: really accomplished anything. Sometimes I've never been in that position

582
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: where you get ten million dollars just kind of based

583
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: off what we think you should do. And I thought

584
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: he would do it too, Like I understood why you

585
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: pay him less of what you have done, because at

586
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: the end of the day, when Carson got paid this offseason,

587
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: he hadn't done ship. He got injured two years ago.

588
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: Nick Foles has a statue outside the stadium last year

589
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: was playing terrible. Now coming back off of a c L.

590
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: He goes down, team picks it up, make the playoffs again,

591
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: Nick Foles win another game. There's an elephant in the

592
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: room with the Eagles that just can't be argued. There

593
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: is a statue of Carson Lentz's backup quarterback and his

594
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: head coach in the front of the stadium from when

595
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: they called the Philly Special and one the Super Bowl.

596
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,959
Speaker 1: So that's that's hard to get over. And then you're

597
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: paid all this money. You know, we're all humans. Maybe

598
00:31:55,720 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: you're not as introspective and you know is self critical

599
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: is maybe you would be if you're driven to try

600
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: to get that contract or try to prove yourself. Because

601
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: he's paid, like he's already proved himself and he hasn't.

602
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: That being said, I I would take him over like

603
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: six five or six quarterbacks in the NFL. Of all

604
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: the young guys, he'd be one of my first picks

605
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: because there's clearly a lot to work with there right now.

606
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: But he's clearly in his own head. Slash Carson. You

607
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: can't just play hero ball every single snap. You gotta

608
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: plan under control. You have to just throw some lay

609
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: up passes as in some changeups. If everything you throw

610
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: is a Brett Farve howitz Er, you're not playing with

611
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: very good wide receivers right now, it's gonna fly off

612
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: their hand. So the the Eagles are probably screwed this season.

613
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: I don't see any chance they make the playoffs. The

614
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: quarterbacks is playing too bad, and they're already a game

615
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: behind Dallas. I just think it's over before it's even

616
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: started for these guys. I know, mathematically they're still in it.

617
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: I just don't see it. I do think this offseason

618
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to figure out a way just work

619
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: on touch balls. I remember Kaepernick in the peak of

620
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: his powers, like could not throw the wheel route, struggled

621
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: to throw screen passes and in the game against Seattle,

622
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: and I get it. I've been into some of those

623
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: Eagles games when the wind picks up, it's freezing cold.

624
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: I understand it. Carson's airmailing screen passes. So he's just

625
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: gonna have to take a deep breath, look in the mirror,

626
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: and just go in the lab. And that happens. This

627
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: is pro sports, is the highest level. Guys go through

628
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: rough times. He's not the first. He surely won't be

629
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: the last. It happens. To hell, Lebron James was embarrassed

630
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: at times in the National Stage and finals games for

631
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: the Calves. For the heat, go in the lab, get better.

632
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: It's on you and everything I've always heard about the guy.

633
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 1: He's driven, he's clearly smart, but on the know. The

634
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: broadcast mentioned they're showing him plays where the ball should go.

635
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: He has a lot of improvement to make, and for

636
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: the first time in two years, his offseason. At least,

637
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: knock on wood, he's gonna be healthy. So it's not

638
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: gonna be the rehab sitting in the trainer's room and

639
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: the weight room trying to get his body right. It's

640
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 1: gonna be all mastering the craft of quarterback. Because Drew

641
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,439
Speaker 1: Brees always says this, and I think he's a great

642
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: example of to think that quarterback is the ratio. It's

643
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: like eighty twenty mental physical Carson, you have any every

644
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: physical gift a human could possibly desire. To play in

645
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: the NFL, it's now about upstairs. If you're ever going

646
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: to be a consistent player in this league and be

647
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: a pro bowler, not a flash in the pan, pro bowler,

648
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,280
Speaker 1: and potential m VP candidate, a dominant, elite Hall of Famer,

649
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: because that's the talent that God has given you. You

650
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: have to master the craft of touch, passes, of knowing

651
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: the offense, of where every guy's breaking, of every look

652
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna see on defense. This is football's chest. It's

653
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: not checkers. And he got away with plant checkers those

654
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: first couple of years. Because again I'm watching the Monday

655
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: night football games on the back ground right now, the

656
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: end of it, and they showed a clip of Michael Vick.

657
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: I think he lives in l A's at the game.

658
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: Like God has given a lot of people free gifts

659
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 1: over the years and they haven't uh taken full advantage

660
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: of it because they've left stuff on the table mentally

661
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: to be desired. And I think Carson has the capability

662
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: mentally to handle it. It's just on him to really

663
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: attack it. And he's gonna have a long off season.

664
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: You know. The great part about Philly, You know, I

665
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: personally would love it as a player. Yeah, it's critical,

666
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: but fuck that that makes you raise your game. Why

667
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: would you want to be in a soft market when

668
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 1: you want to be in the biggest, best market, When

669
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: you want to be in a Boston, a Philly, A

670
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: New York brings out the best in people, Like some

671
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 1: of the best players in the history of sports have

672
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: played in those markets, Brady, you know, Derek Jeter, hopefully

673
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. Like that's those markets. It's it's guns blazing

674
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: every day, full tilt, all the chips in the middle

675
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 1: of the table. Some guys crumble. A lot of the

676
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 1: best players in the history of the world, in this

677
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: or at least history of America have played in like

678
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: some of those markets, it's intense. That's a good thing.

679
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: The NFL's intense helped the Forts is intense, the Bears

680
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: is intense, the Vikings is intense, let alone playing in Philly.

681
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: So he's just he's got to raise his game. And

682
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: talking about a young player watching him against the Jets

683
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: or watching the Jets play the Raiders. And I saw

684
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: it last week when I watched him play the Redskins

685
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: and when he came back from Mono against the against

686
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. If you want to sell Sam Donald

687
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:35,879
Speaker 1: stock because he was drafted by the Jets and he's

688
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: had two coaches in two years, one of the most

689
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: you know, just kind of clown show franchises in recent memory.

690
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: That now you know, with Joe Douglas and some of

691
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: the people around him have some things going for him.

692
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: And we'll see on Adam Gates. That's still you know

693
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: who knows. But Carson Wentz or excuse me, Sam Donald

694
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 1: to me is like an NBA young player. He's not

695
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,280
Speaker 1: seven years old. He's twenty two. He just turned twenty

696
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: two this summer. He hasn't even scratched the surface of

697
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: what he one day is gonna be if you watch

698
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: him when he plays well and don't just see the

699
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,439
Speaker 1: physical characteristics. I don't know what to tell you. Can

700
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: he improve a boatload? Of course he can. Is there

701
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: you know, a grand canyon wide gap of him to

702
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: grow mentally? Yes, it's the NFL. We just talked about

703
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. He has been the league a lot longer

704
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,879
Speaker 1: and hasn't even scratched the surface. So you're talking about

705
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: a guy in a second year in the NFL who

706
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: you know, got motto. You know we've argued before how

707
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: he got it. It's irrelevant. He's back. Now it's on

708
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: him to master the craft. Another guy who's gonna have

709
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 1: a long off season and as it as it looks

710
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: right now, is gonna be healthy. This offseason should be

711
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: about mastering the mental game. Because I watched Donald He's

712
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: got the touch. If they get a more weapons, he

713
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: clearly can throw the deep ball. Like Carson, he can

714
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: make plays out of nothing because he's a big time athlete.

715
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: He can scramble it, keey his eyes down the field.

716
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: He makes plays on the move. Now it's a lot

717
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 1: Now is on the organization, keep stability with the coaching staff,

718
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: Adam Gates is gonna need to be self critical and grow.

719
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas is gonna have to do a good job

720
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: of getting him offensive lineman, getting him skilled guys outside. Uh,

721
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: they have Levian Bell improving a defense, building a team

722
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: around the guy. But if if you can't see the

723
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: talent with Sam Donald, I don't know what to tell you,

724
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: because I remember texting with Daniel Jeremiah and when he

725
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 1: was at USC and he's like, I'm telling you, this

726
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:37,280
Speaker 1: guy's like a bigger version of Russell Wilson. Now obviously

727
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, who might be the m v P of

728
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: this league and it's a future Hall of Famer. He's

729
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 1: just talking about the talent, the ability to keep plays alive,

730
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: the ability to keep his legs down field while he's scrambling,

731
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: the ability to make off platform form throws, the ability

732
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: to make long throws on the move, to do special

733
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 1: things now part of doing special things. Eventually, teams like

734
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: doing special things kind of outliers. You have to do

735
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: the basic things consistently well to be a really good player.

736
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,399
Speaker 1: You know why Peyton Manning and Tom Brady and Aaron

737
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: Rodgers are like all headed for the Hall of Fame. Yeah,

738
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,479
Speaker 1: the spectacular stuff. Sure they don't miss like eight yard

739
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 1: out routes they come through on third night. They don't

740
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: get fooled with third down pressures or rolling coverages or

741
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: what the coordinator pulling something out of his back pocket

742
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: from three years ago, because they know it, they've studied it.

743
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: So when we talk about wins and we talk about Donald,

744
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,919
Speaker 1: it's now from the neck up. It's about every time

745
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 1: they play next year and moving forward, having a grasp

746
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: of every defensive player strengths and weaknesses, what the coordinator

747
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 1: likes to do, what coverage he's likes to call on

748
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: certain down to distances, what his history is in the

749
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:50,919
Speaker 1: red zone, what certain players tendencies are in certain situations.

750
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,240
Speaker 1: You gotta be a genius to do this, Like there's

751
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: only been kind of one and I mean self proclaimed

752
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: lower like you guys, that's far and even he tells

753
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: you how much he learned just from from home Gren

754
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: to Gruden to Andy to Marry who think of the guys,

755
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: the coaches he was around. He didn't stay done for long.

756
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: So these guys, the pressures on these guys in Philly

757
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,359
Speaker 1: and New York, and you can become a legend plan

758
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: in those cities. But you gotta come through in terms

759
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: of your work ethic about the stuff that's not fun,

760
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: not sexy, studying a dark film room. That's what Manning does,

761
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: That's what Brady does, That's what Breeze does. Hell, Carson

762
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,879
Speaker 1: Palmer talked about that's what he did. So all these

763
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: good players in this league are doing. And the quicker

764
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 1: you learned to do it when you're young, the easy,

765
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 1: the easier the sport will come as you age. Okay,

766
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: let's dive into the playoffs. And I guess you know

767
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: what the potential playoffs in college football. And something jumped

768
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: out to me this weekend. Alabama played a D seven

769
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: school and Auburn played the Sisters of the Poor. I

770
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: mean it was a joke, of course, it is. They

771
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: play eight conference games, the PAC twelve, for example, and

772
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure the Big twelve and the Big ten,

773
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: maybe the A c C is different. I'm pretty sure

774
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: they're the only conference that plays eight conference games instead

775
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: of nine. And I I Guy Haberman, who I do

776
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: the other podcast with my barrier one, but we talk,

777
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 1: you know, everything, but talk a lot of niners. He

778
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: works for the PAC twelve and he does college basketball games.

779
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: And I texted him the other day, I said, in

780
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 1: college basketball, does every conference play the same amount of games?

781
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: In his response was all the conferences play eight team

782
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,439
Speaker 1: so you play, you know, uniformity. And I think there's

783
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: one conference either the A. I think it's the A

784
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: C C maybe because they have a bunch more teams

785
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 1: played twenty but they all play now. Your non conference

786
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: is a little more up in the air and basketball,

787
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 1: but when the tournament comes, if you don't play you know,

788
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 1: tough non conference games, you get dinged now. But it's

789
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: easy to judge in the Power five on your conference games. Well,

790
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:10,840
Speaker 1: in college football, one game is pretty important and the

791
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: the SEC only plays eight conference games. Yet they got

792
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 1: fourteen teams in their conference. So before Alabama and Auburn

793
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: played each other every year they have a cupcake game.

794
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: And there's a major difference in the pack twelve because

795
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: you only get three non conference games. And for example,

796
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: this year Oregon played two of their three they obviously

797
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: played a Division one or cupcake. You know, I got

798
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: no problem playing a D one double A team, But

799
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: of the other two games, they played a Mountain West

800
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: school Nevada who they killed. But Nevada's consistently goes to

801
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: Bowl games like every other year and they played Auburn.

802
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: To me, it's pretty simple. The n C Double A

803
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: should mandate that the SEC plays nine conference games because

804
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 1: if they're not going to there is no point for

805
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: the other conferences to keep nine conference games, because its

806
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: hugely beneficial for the SEC to only play eight and

807
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: then basically schedule one hard opponent and then three cupcakes

808
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: and a lot of times to D one Double A

809
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: programs or a D one Double A program and another

810
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: D one program that's a complete embarrassment. Alabama playing Western

811
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: Carolina and New Mexico State is a joke. But I

812
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: don't necessarily blame them. They're just following the rules and

813
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: making it as easy as possible. And they love to claim, well,

814
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 1: our division is really hard in theory. Yes, l s

815
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: US really good. Mississippi States sucks now all Mrs Terrible

816
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:42,839
Speaker 1: Arkansas couldn't be any worse. Yeah, l s US good

817
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: Texas and m solid Auburn's you know, Okay, let's not

818
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: act like a lot of your I mean, they're a

819
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: ton of schools in the SEC stink. Vanderbilt's a joke.

820
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 1: Kentucky had one good year, Tennessee has been pretty average,

821
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: so South Carolina is awful. This notion that like the SEC,

822
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: and again I'm an SEC homer. I think that l

823
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,839
Speaker 1: s US elite. I think that George's damn good if

824
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: two hadn't got hurt. I think Alabama could beat any

825
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 1: one in any given week. So I'm not anti SEC,

826
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: but it doesn't make any sense to me. There's an

827
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: easy solution. You got the five Power conferences. If you're

828
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 1: in one of those five power conferences, whether you're SC

829
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: whether you're Texas, whether you're Iowa State, whether you're Clemson,

830
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,359
Speaker 1: what any any school in those Power five. Here would

831
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 1: be my rules. One, you have to play another Power

832
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: five team, which in fairness most teams do. They play

833
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:44,879
Speaker 1: one tough non conference game a year. And SAVING would

834
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 1: tell you don't even do a home at home. We

835
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 1: do neutral site games. I would mandate you do home

836
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:53,359
Speaker 1: at homes. I would then mandate you do you don't

837
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 1: have to do home at homes with these teams, but

838
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:59,320
Speaker 1: you play a Nonpower five, but a Division one program

839
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: from for USA Mountain West, you know the UCFS, the

840
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:07,879
Speaker 1: Fresno States, those type schools, and then you can play

841
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: one D one Double A school. But at the end

842
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: of the year, you've played nine conference games, one other

843
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: non conference Power five team, one other Division one team,

844
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: and then a D one Double A team. So we

845
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:24,919
Speaker 1: can go, well, how good is Alabama without two of well,

846
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: and there are three games that they missed them. They

847
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 1: played Arkansas, who sucks they beat Let's just assume they've

848
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: beat Auburn. Oh yeah, and they played uh Fresno State,

849
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: like and they killed them all, Like, oh, they're pretty good.

850
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 1: But what am I supposed to think when they play

851
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 1: Western Carolina? What am I? I look at some of

852
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: the schools that l s U and Florida. It's a joke.

853
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 1: And again I am pro sec and I completely understand

854
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 1: why they're doing it. They're just following the rules, the

855
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: n C Double A, the bc S. Who's ever in

856
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,919
Speaker 1: charge needs to get everyone on the same page because

857
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 1: right now it's not a fair fight. Now, Oregon screwed

858
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 1: themselves losing on the road the Arizona State, but that

859
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,879
Speaker 1: game wouldn't even have been on the docket if they

860
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: had played in the SEC. They would have just played

861
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 1: cal Poly you see Davis, and they would have beat

862
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 1: him by forty They would have been better off playing

863
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 1: cal Poly or you see Davis at home kicking the

864
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,399
Speaker 1: crap out of him in mid November in a game

865
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 1: no one wants to watch, favored by sixty points, then

866
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: going on the road for their ninth conference game and

867
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: losing to a team with a bunch of pros who's

868
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: gonna go seven and five with an NFL operation because

869
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: Alabama doesn't play that game. And I'm not arguing Oregan's

870
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 1: better in Alabama. I don't even think that. I think

871
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 1: that Oregon would have got killed in the playoffs. But

872
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: my point is it's not even fair. And in the

873
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 1: other differences. In basketball, the tournament's big, So there are

874
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 1: a ton of spots. In football, you know, you got

875
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: the power of five teams and let's let's be honest,

876
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 1: a nonpower five teams never getting in the final four

877
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: and they shouldn't. So you know there's four team twelve.

878
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 1: You know, you do the math, there's sixty plus whatever

879
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 1: teams like, right, five fifty five, don't you know you

880
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: have to add it up, but sixty plus power five

881
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 1: teams and they're not all doing the same thing. When

882
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,319
Speaker 1: it's pretty simple. Just make them do the same thing

883
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: so we don't get these situations where is Alabama that good?

884
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 1: And again, I don't even know if we're gonna learn

885
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 1: that much more if they had played Fresno State instead

886
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 1: of Western Carolina or Western e whoever they play, it

887
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,760
Speaker 1: was a joke. It was a fifty six point spread. Meanwhile,

888
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 1: Auburn's playing a team never even heard of and they're

889
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 1: favored by sixty. It's like, come on, guys. And again,

890
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: I'm a West Coast guy who loves the SEC. Why

891
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: because I believe it has the best players in under Sabing,

892
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 1: best coach when Urban was their best coach, best program.

893
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:57,280
Speaker 1: Now that ls us humming NFL squad. But this notion

894
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:01,799
Speaker 1: that they the way they operate is embarrassing for competition.

895
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: Is that the point of this whole thing to compete.

896
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: Let's call what it is. They're kind of avoiding it

897
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 1: a little bit. Okay, let's get to the middlecoff mail

898
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: bag where I answer y'all's questions here upon the podcast,

899
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 1: And if you're looking for me over the next week,

900
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 1: I'm maybe in the islands of Hawaii celebrating Thanksgiving. But

901
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: you know, the sources say my microphones going in my

902
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 1: golf bag. So you know, I'll probably do a podcast.

903
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 1: Still nothing will really change, uh, but yeah, I'll be

904
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 1: in Uh. I'll be in the Islands, Maui, Waia. I've

905
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 1: been to Hawaiian a long time, but so happy Thanksgiving

906
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 1: and uh enjoy it. So first I'll answer a couple

907
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 1: of questions. I'm a long time Charger fan and wanted

908
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: to know your thoughts on it. The Charges to try

909
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:51,919
Speaker 1: to tank for the rest of the season and sit

910
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 1: rivers in order to have a better chance to draft

911
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 1: to Ah and if so, fire coach Lynn and make

912
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 1: a run at Greg Roman. I hate going to games

913
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 1: and always seeing the away fans fill up the stadium.

914
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 1: I feel like we need some excitement to bring new

915
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 1: Charger fans. Not a bad idea at all. I mean,

916
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 1: the Chargers are a lifeless brand, a lifeless team with

917
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 1: a lot of talent. I mean Mike Williams, keenan all,

918
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. One to punch Hunter. Henry's not bad.

919
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 1: Gordon's a free agent, he'll be gone, but Ekela is

920
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 1: still around. It's easy to draft and running back. They

921
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:25,360
Speaker 1: need to draft some offensive lineman. You got boasted you

922
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 1: got Ingram, you got Derwin James coming back, still got

923
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 1: Casey Hayward. They got good players. Just need you know,

924
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 1: move on from Rivers. Hell. I just let him walk.

925
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,760
Speaker 1: It's over for Rivers. Let him go and go sign

926
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 1: or go go draft a guy. I like that idea

927
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 1: to uh, probably not Herbert's. Uh yeah, just draft to uh.

928
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 1: I I like that idea a lot. This is a

929
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:53,799
Speaker 1: fantasy question. Should I start a Marie Cooper Cooper Cup? Now?

930
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:56,720
Speaker 1: Hear me out Taylor Gabriel against the Giants? My flex,

931
00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:59,359
Speaker 1: it's already too late to answer this question. My bad,

932
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:04,320
Speaker 1: not a Mari because I'm pretty sure Mari went catchless,

933
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: but I wasn't super locked in the Rams game. Towards

934
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: the end, it didn't feel like Cooper Cup did much either.

935
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 1: After listening about the l A team debacle, where do

936
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: you think the Chargers should go? Considering San Diego is

937
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: out any deserving cities. I'm an Eagles fan, but would

938
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 1: still love a team here in Salt Lake City, but

939
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 1: might be a stretch. Yeah, I mean I I think

940
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,800
Speaker 1: the whole part of that kind of l A debacle

941
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 1: is these they're signing all these season tickets, like they've

942
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:35,799
Speaker 1: signed these sponsorship deals. They're in bed with l A.

943
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 1: It's not there is not like some solution where else

944
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 1: can get the go that they're not going anywhere, they're

945
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 1: stuck in l A, that they have too many financial commitments.

946
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 1: That's the shitty part is there's no there's no options,

947
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:53,320
Speaker 1: like they should go back to San Diego, Salt Lake City.

948
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: I don't know enough about it. You know, I've been

949
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 1: to Salt Lake City multiple times. You have skied there.

950
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:05,799
Speaker 1: I've been there for work, you know, scouting Utah. I'd

951
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: have to I'd have to google, like the demo. I

952
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 1: don't know if there's enough people there. I mean, clearly

953
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 1: works for the university, but could it you know, is

954
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 1: there enough corporate dollars there for an NFL team? Probably not? Uh.

955
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 1: Trying to think of a major NFL city or a

956
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 1: major city that doesn't have an NFL team. I don't

957
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 1: think there really is one right now. So yeah, I

958
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 1: just I think they're stuck. Die hard Bears fan living

959
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 1: in Milwaukee. Needless to say, sports life sucks right now.

960
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: I feel you at least you have the Brewers, unless

961
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,360
Speaker 1: you're a Cubs fan too, which doesn't suck. Either crazy

962
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:39,400
Speaker 1: thought with no draft capital and the Bears needing a

963
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 1: quarterback offseason, trade Mac for a king's ransom of picks.

964
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: Love Mac, but love the thought of getting a franchise

965
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 1: quarterback more. Uh yeah, I mean I I would never

966
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 1: beside my quarterback. I would always be open to trade everyone. So,

967
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 1: I mean, what would I trade Khalil Mac for? Would

968
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,839
Speaker 1: someone give me to two first round picks? I don't

969
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 1: know if you get that. After the season Khalil has had.

970
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 1: I think he's still Someone would give you a first

971
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 1: round pick, for sure, but could you get two first

972
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:10,240
Speaker 1: round picks? I don't think that would be an option.

973
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,279
Speaker 1: I would just keep the first round pick. I mean,

974
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: I would just keep Khalil back, and I would sign

975
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 1: try to sign Philip Rivers or Cam Newton or someone

976
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 1: like that. Because Mitch is terrible. We all know that

977
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 1: the Bears need to admit it, cut miss this offseason

978
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:28,839
Speaker 1: and go sign a real quarterback. Hi, John, my name

979
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: is Darren. This is my girlfriend's account. I have been

980
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: a lifelong Cowboys fan, and after today, irregardless of how

981
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:38,840
Speaker 1: the season ends, who is a realistic coach the Cowboys

982
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 1: gul target this offseason? I think it's clear they are

983
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:44,880
Speaker 1: constantly out coaching. Jason Garrett has no balls. True. Also,

984
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 1: other than Dak becoming more of a franchise quarterback, I'm

985
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 1: not sold on Kellen Moore as a great offensive coordinator.

986
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 1: Your thoughts. I don't have insight information on this. I

987
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 1: have a close buddy that works for Lincoln Riley, and

988
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 1: I just know enough about Oklahoma. I'm telling you I

989
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 1: will be shocked if he leaves. So I do not

990
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 1: think he's gonna leave Oklahoma, even if Jerry Jones offers

991
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:08,400
Speaker 1: some hundred million dollars, because I don't think he's coaching

992
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 1: for the money, and he already makes a lot, and

993
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: he's at Oklahoma. You know, he's only thirty six, thirty

994
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: seven years old. He could leave whenever he wants. I

995
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 1: just don't think he's in a bit. I think he's

996
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 1: a unique character, and Oklahoma is a unique job. It's

997
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 1: top five college job. Like, oh, he's killing it, and

998
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 1: they got the stud young quarterback on their roster, like

999
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 1: Oklahoma's gonna be loaded forever. So who else are your

1000
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,880
Speaker 1: other options? Well? Who are the who are like the

1001
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:36,319
Speaker 1: retreads he can get? There aren't any, right, There are

1002
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: no like Andy Reid's out there that are gonna get fired.

1003
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:42,279
Speaker 1: Those aren't the That's not an option. So he's not

1004
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 1: gonna hire any of those guys. Are there any college guys? Well,

1005
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 1: Matt Rule, who has NFL experience and has done a

1006
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 1: really good job, I mean took it right down to

1007
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:54,359
Speaker 1: the wire against Lincoln Riley. I actually think that will

1008
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:56,840
Speaker 1: probably end up being the coach. I think Matt Rule,

1009
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 1: if I had to guess, would be the next coach

1010
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,319
Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys, because just like who are the

1011
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:04,360
Speaker 1: hot offensive coordinators around the league? Think of all the

1012
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:07,359
Speaker 1: offensive coordinators around the NFL, like the good ones, Andy Reid,

1013
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 1: Sean Payton, Kyle Shanahan. What are they all have in common?

1014
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 1: Their head coaches Josh McDaniels. Now, with Jerry hired Josh McDaniels,

1015
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 1: maybe it would would Josh take that job. He'd be

1016
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: high on meth if he turned them down. If Josh,

1017
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:27,319
Speaker 1: if John mc daniels was turned down this Cowboys roster,

1018
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 1: maybe he just doesn't want a job, Maybe he just

1019
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,760
Speaker 1: wants to be the second in command in New England.

1020
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 1: But that's maybe his best options will be Josh McDaniels,

1021
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: assuming he'd leave and who knows. I mean the last

1022
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 1: time he we thought he was gonna leave left Chris

1023
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 1: Ballard at the at the at the dais right. I

1024
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:46,319
Speaker 1: mean he's like he's coming and then he backed out.

1025
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: Now positive out of that, he left them. Matt Uberflus

1026
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:53,760
Speaker 1: who was the Cowboys linebacker coach, who's now the defensive coordinator.

1027
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,400
Speaker 1: And Indy who's doing a good job. But yeah, I

1028
00:54:56,480 --> 00:55:01,439
Speaker 1: think Matt rule, Josh McDaniels most realistic guy, and I'd

1029
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:05,320
Speaker 1: say both would be in an upgrade over Jason. Again, Josh,

1030
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 1: last time he was a head coach, it was a disaster.

1031
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 1: It feels like he's gotten a lot, you know, there's

1032
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:13,719
Speaker 1: been articles written, He's done a lot of introspection, He's

1033
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 1: done a lot of soul searching over that time. He

1034
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:18,839
Speaker 1: clearly is a good schematic coach. But can you lead men?

1035
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 1: But as Jason really leading men? Because I watched their team,

1036
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,360
Speaker 1: they look kind of lifeless. Big fan of the show.

1037
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on Seattle? Do you think they

1038
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:29,440
Speaker 1: are real like Super Bowl contenders Vikings, Cardinals, Rams, Panthers

1039
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 1: and Niners not in easy games? Well, I think they're

1040
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:37,840
Speaker 1: the least talented. After the Rams debacle. We unofficially have

1041
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 1: the NFC playoff picture, except we don't know the seating.

1042
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:46,120
Speaker 1: The Niners, Seattle, Green Bay, Minnesota, the Saints, that's five

1043
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:48,920
Speaker 1: in some order. Those will be the one to three,

1044
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 1: five and six seeds. That's what's crazy about the NFC.

1045
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:55,280
Speaker 1: Your sixth seed could be twelve and four. It's actually

1046
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 1: kind of realistic. You might need to go fourteen and

1047
00:55:58,000 --> 00:55:59,799
Speaker 1: two to get the one seed in the thirteen and

1048
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:02,279
Speaker 1: three seed might get the two seed in a tiebreaker,

1049
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:05,239
Speaker 1: and then the three seed could easily be twelve and four.

1050
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:09,319
Speaker 1: And yeah, then the six seeds, yeah, the six the

1051
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 1: five and six seed could be twelve and four, and

1052
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 1: then Dallas. I think the Eagles are in shamble, so

1053
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 1: Dallas probably wins. The NFC East is gonna be the

1054
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:20,880
Speaker 1: four seed. I think Seattle of Green Bay, Minnesota, San Francisco,

1055
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 1: and New Orleans roster wise least talented top to bottom,

1056
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 1: though I would say Russ is playing the best of

1057
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:32,400
Speaker 1: that even including Rogers and Pete Carroll is one of

1058
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:35,839
Speaker 1: the more accomplished of that group beside Sean Payton. So yeah,

1059
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 1: I just anytime you got Russ in big games, and

1060
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 1: if somehow that they keep winning games and beat San

1061
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 1: Francisco in that final game. At home games in Seattle,

1062
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: they could be the one or two seed. And if

1063
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 1: you got to go to Seattle to win playoff games,

1064
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:52,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna win playoff games. Like when Seattle loses playoff games,

1065
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna lose on the road. Seattn't get a home

1066
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: field by If they could be the one seed, I

1067
00:56:57,120 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 1: would pick them to win the nfceed, but I don't

1068
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 1: think the roster, you know, Chris Carson solid. They're depending

1069
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 1: on DK Metcalf, dis Lee's hurt, Clowne's banged up. Their

1070
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:12,440
Speaker 1: defense beside Bobby Wagner is not great. But again, Russell

1071
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 1: Wilson is a freaking magic magician and Pete Carroll's a legend.

1072
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:21,240
Speaker 1: So I would never discount Seattle. You're talking about a

1073
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 1: guy that has nothing but respect for the Seattle Seahawks,

1074
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 1: even on teams where I don't think they're as talented

1075
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 1: as years past. I have a hard time seeing to

1076
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:32,440
Speaker 1: a slip in the draft past Miami, even after his injury.

1077
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 1: I keep going back to them passing on Breeze due

1078
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 1: to his injury and not wanting to repeat this mistake

1079
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 1: with another potentially franchise changing player, our previous mistakes like this,

1080
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 1: something front office has taken in consideration. Someone DM me

1081
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 1: and I don't have I don't know this officially that

1082
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 1: Danny Canell his dad was the doctor for the Miami Dolphins.

1083
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if he still is and he was

1084
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 1: the guy that failed Drew Brees. I would say things

1085
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 1: get taken into consideration when that administration has experience with it.

1086
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 1: But if something happened in like fifteen years ago and

1087
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 1: they've been three coaches and two GM since, I don't

1088
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 1: know if much gets put into consideration. I think each

1089
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 1: player is his own individual entity and it's kind of

1090
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 1: judged that way. So I would say no on does

1091
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 1: the brief situation get taken into account? Because the hip

1092
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 1: injury is really serious? And if your doctor says I

1093
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 1: think he's never gonna be the same, what what's the

1094
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 1: GM supposed to say? I don't believe you. I mean

1095
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 1: the GM like played college football at Iowa State or

1096
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 1: I don't even know where their guy what his background is,

1097
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 1: but he's not a doctor. So when the doctor looks

1098
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 1: at you from Miami met or where the hell the

1099
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 1: guy got his you know, medical degree. He says, I'm

1100
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 1: telling you and I'm I don't know anything, but I'm

1101
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 1: just saying like, I don't think the hip is gonna

1102
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 1: be okay. Or he goes to combine, he fails the physical.

1103
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 1: But some teams don't fail the physical. What do you do?

1104
00:58:57,880 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 1: You know, if you're you're GM, like Trent balll Ky,

1105
00:58:59,880 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 1: for everyone was like he's gonna be fine, and then

1106
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 1: this guy's never ended up being fine and kept wasting picks.

1107
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 1: I think it puts general managers in a very difficult

1108
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:11,160
Speaker 1: position because when when all you're doing is evaluating the player,

1109
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 1: that's easy in the sense like is he good enough

1110
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 1: or is he not good enough? To me? When the

1111
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 1: medical comes in, that's where it gets really complicated, because

1112
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 1: a scout, a general manager, a president, they have they

1113
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 1: know nothing. You notice, when you go into the doctor,

1114
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 1: you're like, my foot hurts, or I got this weird

1115
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 1: thing on my ear, or something's in my throat. You know,

1116
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 1: we don't know anything. We're like, just save me. You know.

1117
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 1: It's like it's like the I T guy at work

1118
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 1: when your computer goes down, when your services go down,

1119
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 1: and you're just like bro, I don't know what's going on,

1120
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 1: and then he just works as magic and fix you

1121
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: no different like as a GM with your doctor. You

1122
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 1: just he's like, hey man, he's got a degenerate knee.

1123
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 1: You're like, cool, we won't we won't mess with him.

1124
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:55,440
Speaker 1: Or he's like hey, his and he's good. Like cool,

1125
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 1: we like him, We'll take him. I think these situations

1126
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 1: are very complicated. Huge fan Cowboys fan, I can't help

1127
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 1: but think we're stuck in a constant state of mediocrity.

1128
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 1: Trying not to sound biased, I believe the Cowboys of

1129
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 1: a top five roster talent wise, I would tend to

1130
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 1: agree with that, but coaching has been a killer on

1131
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 1: this team. If Garrett is gone following the season, how

1132
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:18,640
Speaker 1: long super Bowl window do you give this team? I mean,

1133
01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 1: I think they compete for Super Bowl next year if

1134
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:23,959
Speaker 1: you told me that, like Pete Carroll, Sean Payton, Andy Reid,

1135
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, I'm not even saying Belichick just a solid coach,

1136
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:30,960
Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer, you know, just John Harbaugh was a coach

1137
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:32,439
Speaker 1: of this team. I think they would be a lock

1138
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 1: playoff team. Lock lock playoff team. Do you know the

1139
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 1: crazy part about the Cowboys if they wouldn't make the

1140
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 1: playoffs this year? Is it even that cool making the

1141
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 1: playoffs when you go nine and seven? Like to me,

1142
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:46,200
Speaker 1: if you win the NFC West this year, it's like

1143
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 1: we won the NFC West, we had to go thirteen

1144
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 1: and three. We won the NFC North, we had to

1145
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:56,600
Speaker 1: go thirteen and three or twelve and four. We limped

1146
01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, were barely getting above eight and eight

1147
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:02,360
Speaker 1: if you're the Cowboys, and then you lose in like

1148
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 1: Round one at home, which is even worse. Could they

1149
01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 1: won't feel like a bigger failure this season? Beside the

1150
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:14,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys big fan of the podcast. One question I have,

1151
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 1: what does the offensive and defensive quality control do? I

1152
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:21,080
Speaker 1: think it's funny when you hear analytics like analytics are

1153
01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 1: just now coming into football quality control. Guys are litterally

1154
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 1: literally in charge of analytics. Their main job is to

1155
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 1: break down film. So when you're playing an opponent, that

1156
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 1: guy is breaking down film late in the week and

1157
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 1: then early on in the week for your coordinators and

1158
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 1: head coach. He's breaking down down and distances. He's breaking

1159
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:46,400
Speaker 1: down plays that they can put in their verbiage. So

1160
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 1: the coaches now he breaks down tendencies. So when it's

1161
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 1: every snap of second and seven, what places do they

1162
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 1: run every snap in third down? What places they run

1163
01:01:57,240 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 1: every snap in the red zone? What places they run?

1164
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:04,080
Speaker 1: They are just they are grinders. They're working eighteen to

1165
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 1: twenty hours, three or four days a week, you know,

1166
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 1: Monday through Thursday, just breaking down film until the cows

1167
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:15,760
Speaker 1: come home. On opponents. It's basically the equivalent of like, uh,

1168
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 1: you know, a highly paid intern that's kind of like

1169
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 1: the coaches, either the offensive or defensive coordinator's main assistant.

1170
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:28,960
Speaker 1: They do everything those guys need, from film breakdowns to

1171
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:34,919
Speaker 1: special projects to just specific isolating plays four opponents. That's

1172
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 1: that's really what it's about. And uh, it's a it's

1173
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 1: a tough, long, shitty job. I'll say that much. It's

1174
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:46,040
Speaker 1: it's hard, it really is. Now maybe it's gotten a

1175
01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:50,120
Speaker 1: little easier with technology their ability to bunch plays, put

1176
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:54,240
Speaker 1: plays together, but I still think just talking to people

1177
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:59,200
Speaker 1: around the league, they work just insane hours. Insanity. What

1178
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 1: do you think this wind says about the Niners? What

1179
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:04,160
Speaker 1: is it the Niners beat down? Was it a Niners

1180
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:05,920
Speaker 1: beat down or a Packers flop? I think it was

1181
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:08,520
Speaker 1: a Niners beat down talked about it earlier. I think

1182
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 1: the Niners are a legit Super Bowl contender, and I

1183
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:14,840
Speaker 1: hadn't thought that until that game Sunday night, but I

1184
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:17,480
Speaker 1: I do believe it now. I do believe it now.

1185
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:20,360
Speaker 1: Fan of the big fan of the pod, keep of

1186
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 1: the great work. Uh. I just wanted to read the compliments.

1187
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:26,000
Speaker 1: Can you take a second and talk about the Jets?

1188
01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about Donald Is Adam Gates? The answer.

1189
01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:30,520
Speaker 1: They're on a three game winning streak and they look

1190
01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:33,280
Speaker 1: amazing out there on offense this month, considering the old

1191
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:35,600
Speaker 1: line is a joke. They have the number one rush

1192
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:38,120
Speaker 1: defense in the NFL, which is going unnoticed. Do you

1193
01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 1: think the Jets fans should be optimistic about the future

1194
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:43,320
Speaker 1: or do you think the excitement is premature? Well, I

1195
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 1: talked to a bunch about Donald's earlier. I'm still on

1196
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 1: Sharon Gates, but I do think it's fair to say

1197
01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 1: that Gates knows what he's doing offensively. And the biggest

1198
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:54,040
Speaker 1: reason why I love the Jets this weekend against the

1199
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 1: Raiders is the Raiders, if they can't run the ball,

1200
01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 1: they have no chance to win. And I saw Baldinger

1201
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 1: post one of his videos on the Baldy breakdowns on

1202
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 1: Twitter that the Jets were the number one rushing defense.

1203
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:06,800
Speaker 1: I had no clue, just because a casual fan, if

1204
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:08,680
Speaker 1: you're not following the Jets, you just assume they suck

1205
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 1: at everything. So like, well, they can stop the run

1206
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:13,640
Speaker 1: and then they can pass a little bit. Why couldn't

1207
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:16,800
Speaker 1: they finished with like six wins? They could win a

1208
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:18,920
Speaker 1: couple of games down the stretch, wins six or seven games.

1209
01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, Donald's twenty two years old. I've been

1210
01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:25,760
Speaker 1: a huge fan. He carried Clay Helt into the Rose Bowl.

1211
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:28,680
Speaker 1: Just close your eyes. Say that out loud. You got

1212
01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:32,080
Speaker 1: a chance with the guy. Now the organization has to

1213
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:35,080
Speaker 1: do a good job around him. The division's gonna get

1214
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:37,360
Speaker 1: a little more difficult, right because the Patriots are always

1215
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 1: gonna be good and the Bills are just gonna be tough.

1216
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 1: Like even you know this year, it feels like they're

1217
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:45,800
Speaker 1: gonna go ten or eleven wins. But when you're that

1218
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:47,760
Speaker 1: good at defense, you're just gonna be in the mix.

1219
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:51,480
Speaker 1: So the Jets have to build their team. The Bills

1220
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:55,400
Speaker 1: and the Patriots are leade on defense, so they gotta

1221
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:58,360
Speaker 1: be better up front. You need more skilled guys. And

1222
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:00,040
Speaker 1: like I said about Sam, he needs to take a

1223
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 1: big step mentally and stay focused. You know in the

1224
01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:05,520
Speaker 1: off season. Now, there was a story about him going

1225
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:08,080
Speaker 1: out and getting wasted, like have fun if you deserve

1226
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 1: to get wasted after you get a big win like

1227
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:12,560
Speaker 1: that against Raiders. But I mean, stay focused in the

1228
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:15,880
Speaker 1: off season Monday through Friday, learning your craft, honing your craft,

1229
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 1: becoming a master upstairs so you don't see ghosts because

1230
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I knew Belichick was gonna do that,

1231
01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:23,640
Speaker 1: or even when you get fooled, like okay, I'll learn

1232
01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 1: from that mistake. And I think that's the next step

1233
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:29,720
Speaker 1: in his kind of maturation. Again, I'm as long as

1234
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 1: Sam Donalds the quarterback of the Jets. I'm a Jets fan.

1235

Speaker 1: Appreciate everyone listening. Have a great Thanksgiving week, the best

1236
