Speaker 1: viral coughing video, Plus sports gambling guru Chad Millman Sharper Square.

18
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: I was almost flammable. I was so hot last week.

19
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 1: Check it out. Let's start with Cliff Kingsbury and Kyler Murray.

20
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: They blow up in the sideline, so it appeared that

21
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, I'm not a lip reader, but I could

22
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: tell calm the f down, he yelled at Cliff Kingsbury.

23
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: So I think something that we know to be true.

24
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: People have a lot of courage on social media. But

25
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: I've been doing what I've been doing for thirty years.

26
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: I am considered polarizing. I don't think I've had three

27
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: people ever come up and be rude to me. People

28
00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: are overwhelmingly kind and gracious and thoughtful. People don't like confrontation.

29
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: That's not who normal people, that's not what normal people

30
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: act like. And the reason I bring this up, Bill

31
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: Maher once said the same thing. He was interviewed on

32
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: some show, and he said, you know, he goes. In

33
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: twenty five years of being politically polarizing, I've probably had

34
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: one person come up and be rude. People don't like confrontation,

35
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: mostly because people are normal, but in sports, because of that,

36
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: people don't like confrontation, so they're uncomfortable seeing confrontation. Folks,

37
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: sports is all about collisions, confrontation, arguments, yelling volume it's

38
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: not your job. And when Kyler and Cliff have a moment.

39
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,399
Speaker 1: That happens constantly. We just see more things than we've

40
00:02:54,440 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: ever seen. That's football. Hell, my high school coach yelled

41
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: at me one time, you are effing uncoachable with seventeen.

42
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: He's screaming at me. You know, a minute later, I'm

43
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: throwing a game winning touchdown. I don't remember that, but

44
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: the point being, that's what sports is about. It's live.

45
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: You don't get duovers. You're not an actor with thirty

46
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: eight takes. It's live. Careers are on the line, million

47
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: dollars at stake. Shit happens, people yell. I don't have

48
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: a problem with it. This stuff's been happening forever. We

49
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: didn't have forty five cameras in stadiums. You see everything now.

50
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: So that's the first thing. Secondly, outside of maybe the

51
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills, maybe the Ravens, Chargers, Bengals,

52
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: minimum twenty four twenty five teams in this league are

53
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: better tomorrow. With Kyler Murray as quarterback. His mobility is insane.

54
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: He throws a beautiful Ball's accurate, he's got touch. I

55
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: wish he was taller, but you know what, I wish

56
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: Tom Brady moved better. You don't have to love everything

57
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: about Kyler, but people have been defending prickly illloof Aaron

58
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: Rodgers for fifteen years. Okay, Kyler is a star. Arizona

59
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: just won't treat him like one, putting Addendams in contracts,

60
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: making it public, calling him out. Twenty five teams in

61
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: this league are better tomorrow with Kyler Murray. Look around

62
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: the league right now. You know, maybe maybe Philadelphia would say,

63
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: now we're gon, We're gonna let this Jalen Hurts thing

64
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: play out in Kansas City with Mahomes, in Baltimore with

65
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, and the Chargers with Justin Herbert, Cincinnati, Joe Burrow,

66
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes, come on man, twenty four. Twenty

67
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: five teams, if there was an opportunity, would make a

68
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 1: run at him. Stop stop the mobility, the accuracy, the

69
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: back shoulder throws. We don't know if his coach can coach.

70
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: His coach had a losing record in college with Patrick

71
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: Mahomes's quarterback. There's things I know about Arizona. Roster's got

72
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: ballers everywhere, speed everywhere, playmakers everywhere. Kid's super talented. The

73
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: thing I don't know. Is Cliff Kingsbury a good coach

74
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: and after three years and his college career, my answer

75
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: is he's certainly not. Upper crust is the middle of

76
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: the pack. I think we'd all say, maybe you can

77
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: keep barking about Kyler Murray, but if you've been defending

78
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers for ten years and the passive aggressive nonsense,

79
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: you've got to understand stars act differently. They should probably

80
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: be treated differently. And most teams in this league, if

81
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: Aaron and Kyler were available, would take it today, all right.

82
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: Second story, Christian McCaffrey, this broke just a couple of

83
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: minutes ago, has been traded to the San Francisco forty

84
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: nine Ers. Details later. I think this is a another sign,

85
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: and I think the Niners and Philadelphia are the two

86
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: most talented teams in the NFC. I think this is

87
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: another sign that the forty nine ers believe with Jimmy

88
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: Garoppolo upright, they're a super Bowl team. You don't. They've

89
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: already given up three first round picks for Trey Lance. Okay,

90
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: they're giving up more picks for Christian McCaffrey. You do that,

91
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: you're putting your chips all in meaning this GM and

92
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: this coach believe this is a super Bowl team. I

93
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: think it's the right move. Listen, Buffalo and Kansas City

94
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: in the AFC are absolutely the two best teams this

95
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: morning tonight. In the next twenty four hours, Philadelphia appears

96
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: to be the best team. San Francisco is the most talented.

97
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: They just had eleven starters out last week. McCaffrey added

98
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: to this roster. They're telling you we're not worried about

99
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: the future. This is a super Bowl winning team with

100
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo playing quarterback. You don't give up draft capital

101
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: more draft capital because you think you could make the playoffs.

102
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: They're looking around and going Elijah Mitchell's coming back, Trent

103
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: Williams coming back, all these weapons, let's add another one.

104
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: Go all in. I think it's the right move. I've

105
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: said this. The Rams push their chips all in. They

106
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: want a super Bowl. Now, what happens when you do that?

107
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: You get cluster injuries. They're thin on the offensive line,

108
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: Andrew retires Brian Allen, the center gets hurt, and all

109
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: of a sudden it looks really, really ugly. I thought

110
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: the Rams may go in on Christian McCaffrey, but like

111
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: the Niners, they don't have a lot of first round picks.

112
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: But I've said this before. Aggressive wins in sports. You

113
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: can sit back, you can wait, but you win a

114
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: Super Bowl like less Need and Matt Stafford and Sean

115
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: McVay did, it gives you like a three year safety net,

116
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. There's a lot of pressure.

117
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: There's billions of dollars at stake. Kyle Shanahan's a good coach.

118
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: But you start looking at that Trey Lanz situation. You

119
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: don't know what the future is in San Francisco, but

120
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: with Garoppolo healthy, you know what the present is. It's

121
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: Philadelphia and you probably vying for the NFC championship. You

122
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: have no idea what Trey Lanz is could be great,

123
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: don't know you know what Garoppolo is like the move.

124
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: So people, especially sports fans, love to be right. I

125
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,719
Speaker 1: don't get paralyzed by it. I'd rather be interesting. And

126
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: so I've had some good predictions this year in the NFL.

127
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: The one that's a stinker is Russell Wilson, and people

128
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: think Colin just admit he's terrible. Well, in my life,

129
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: I've never seen an athlete go from an A to

130
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: an A minus athlete to a D athlete. Was he hurt?

131
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: Is he going through a personal crisis. That's why I

132
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: don't believe Russell Wilson, who was either an AS or

133
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: a B plus quarterback, is now a D minus to

134
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: an F quarterback. There's no injury history, he's still young.

135
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: He didn't go through a divorce. I would blame the coach. Now,

136
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: it's possible to go from an A minus athlete to

137
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: a B minus athlete. As you age quickly, you take

138
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: some shots, you take some hits. But Russell Wilson's had

139
00:09:55,240 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: no major surgeries, none, and his numbers the last four

140
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: years in Seattle with a bad offensive line and his

141
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: seventy year old defensive coach was one oh six point

142
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 1: five Albuquerque's best rock. Just kidding, the point being that

143
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: there's got to be something behind it. Is mister optimistic

144
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson playing through injuries. Now we hear he's day

145
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 1: to day and may not play this week. Don't forget

146
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: about coaching. I want you to google something Matt Ryan's

147
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 1: MVP year and then google the following year. He lost

148
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: thirty five percent of his stats going from Kyle Shanahan

149
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: to Steve Sarkisian and we think sark is at least capable.

150
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: What if Nathaniel Hackett is Steve Wilkes offensively? What if

151
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: he's just a whiff. What if he just has Ben McAdoo.

152
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 1: What if he is Freddie Kitchens? Is it possible? We

153
00:10:55,080 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: all know coaching effects players. You can't get me to

154
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: buy into a B plus A minus quarterback becomes a

155
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 1: D minus quarterback. It doesn't happen for thirty three year olds.

156
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: There's got to be a component in here we do

157
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: not see. Mark Schlareth came on The Herd on Fox

158
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: and said Denver's receivers are overrated, They're not as good

159
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: as everybody thinks. They're young, and they're incredibly immature. That

160
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: could be part of it, but I don't believe in

161
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: my life, just like you, if you were great at

162
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: something and then you were suddenly awful at it, my

163
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: guess is you got a health issue, a marriage issue,

164
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: or a boss issue. It's got to be one of those.

165
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: Nobody goes from really good to awful without an explanation.

166
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: My guess is it's the coach tip off the NBA

198
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 1: Is there? Seriously? I'm watching that game. That game because

199
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: there was other big games on didn't get the publicity

200
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: it should have outside of Ohio and in the South.

201
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: It was a great come from behind win. Did it

202
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: feel different at all being in Louisiana, different than any

203
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: other road game? Yeah, it was definitely louder. It was.

204
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: It was interesting to be on the other side of

205
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: playing against those fans, you really realize how loud it

206
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: can actually get in that stadium. It was a it

207
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: was a really great atmosphere. You know, it was funny

208
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: um And I've said this, it's almost like your your

209
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: heartbeat comes down in crisis. Like when they put trips

210
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: to one side and there's a single receiver Jamar to

211
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: the other side and you see them bringing pressure, the

212
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: automatic is go to the single side, right like, So

213
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: to me, when when did you realize they were bringing pressure?

214
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: Because people decoy that that's the read for you always

215
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: is here they come, okay, the safety's movement, I'm going

216
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: right to Jamar. When did you did you think it

217
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: was a decoy because you could clearly tell they thought,

218
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: we want to get this guy at a field goal range.

219
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: We're going to create a minus player. When did you

220
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: know for sure here they come? Well, it's always I

221
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: had a feeling pre snap that they were going to

222
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: but you always got to make sure because you know,

223
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: teams like to show that and then end up being

224
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: out uh to double Jamar, And so I didn't. I

225
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: didn't expect it, but I kind of had a feeling

226
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: that they would do it pre snappened, so I knew

227
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: exactly where I was going when I saw a safety

228
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: rotate down one on one, gotta go to that and

229
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: Jamar knows it's coming. He's looking at you. It's a

230
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: I mean he that's the that's the hot read, right,

231
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: always trips to the one side, single to the other.

232
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: Pressure comes, you're going there. And for the record, when

233
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: that happens, do you always run the same route? How

234
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: do you know what route he's running? That was just

235
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: a called route, one of our called plays. He didn't

236
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: He didn't have to adjust his route for for any reason.

237
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: Because of the blitz. We had a protected up front. Oh,

238
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: I did a great job and then Jamar did, Whichmar does.

239
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: It's funny. Of all the cities I've been doing the country,

240
00:15:55,760 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: New Orleans is the loosest. It's a it's a different city.

241
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: Like when you go there, you drink more, you eat more,

242
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: you stay up later. It's just a different vibe than

243
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: the rest of the country. And you can go back

244
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: to your college days or Sunday there's a certain viby,

245
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: swaggy thing to New Orleans. Did you feel different in

246
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: your college career or Sunday that you just feel there's

247
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: there's just a little vibe to you playing in that state. Yeah,

248
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: it's just you know, I set out on the balcony

249
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: for about thirty minutes just hearing the sounds of the city.

250
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: There's always music playing, there's always people having a good time.

251
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: The energy of that city just kind of makes you upbeat,

252
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: makes you happy, gives you confidence. So it's always fun

253
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: to be there. So it was a really important win

254
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: for you guys. You guys are also getting into a

255
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: terrible habit of falling behind. It's like just your thing.

256
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: You're the opposite of the Ravens who lead every game

257
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: by ten points. You trail when you get into that.

258
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: Could I argue there's an advantage to repetitively falling behind.

259
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: You're very comfortable at it. You did it in the playoffs.

260
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: It's not ideal, but I mean, you go to your

261
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: rookie year into today, do you feel different trailing than

262
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: you did your first game as a pro? For sure?

263
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: You know the last two years. I mean, really, we

264
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 1: had the same problem last year. The second We were

265
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 1: a second half team all last year and you know,

266
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: find it. We were down twenty four nothing to the Chargers,

267
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: ended up coming back and tying the game, had a

268
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: chance to take the lead. I mean every game felt

269
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: like we were coming back. So we're very comfortable in

270
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: these spots. And you know, we've been able to come

271
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 1: back in every single game that we got down. We

272
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: haven't been able to win all of them. Make that

273
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: final play. It was different about Sunday was we were

274
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: able to come back and we made that final play,

275
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: the final two three plays that it comes down to

276
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. In those kind of games. Is

277
00:17:55,080 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: your home and away prep different? Never always got you

278
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 1: every game the same. You know, maybe you talk a

279
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: little bit more about communication and hand signals, you know,

280
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: throughout the week when you're playing a road game, but

281
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: not as far as film or practice or the routine. Okay,

282
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:23,959
Speaker 1: explain to the audience here silent count so you hear

283
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: this all the time by announcers. See, I grew up

284
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: in a small rural village. We didn't have silent count

285
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: because you couldn't hear the crowd. Right, It's like eighty

286
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: people at my football games. When you go on the road,

287
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: you see teams get discombobulated, But you practice all week

288
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: in silent count. So I'm your center, you come to

289
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: the line, explain to my audience what it means. Well,

290
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: the you know, a lot of teams do it differently.

291
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: They either have their center look between the legs or

292
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 1: the guard will look back at the quarterback. And whenever

293
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: you give whatever signal you have hand foot, then the

294
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: center will snap. But if he's looking between his legs

295
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: or the guard will see it and then tap the center.

296
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 1: It's just adds one more layer of communication when you're

297
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: on the road. So it makes you know, you get

298
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: a little further down on the game on the play clocks,

299
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: so you've got to be in and out of the

300
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 1: huddle faster. You know, if you're in the huddle, it

301
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: might be harder to hear the play, so you have

302
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: to repeat it a couple of times. So it just

303
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: usually takes an extra three or four seconds on average,

304
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: I would say, on the road to just operate. So

305
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: when I watch you in these late game situations, I'm

306
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 1: watching you, but I'm really watching the clock, And I

307
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 1: always think to myself, people just fans don't understand this.

308
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: So you've got the play, you've got an audible, you're

309
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: watching the defense, you're watching the play clock, you're listening

310
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: to a coach, go to your first game as a pro,

311
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: and today, like I always say, whenever you move to

312
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: a new city, it takes you about six months to

313
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: where you drive to work. You don't even think about it.

314
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: It's like the car turns automatically. I don't have to

315
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: think about how to get to work, but it takes

316
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: you a while. Is this Is it easier for you

317
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: today to process all that stuff? Were you a little

318
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: lost as a rookie, that's definitely easier now, I mean

319
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: your rookie year. And the same thing happens when you're

320
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: learning a new offense. You see, you know, coordinators changing

321
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: around the league. You come in, you have to learn

322
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: all this new verbiage, a new language basically about how

323
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: to call plays. You know, everybody has the same plays,

324
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: they just call them differently, and so you got to

325
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,239
Speaker 1: learn this new language. You gotta translate it to your

326
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: old language at the beginning. And then if you're in

327
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: the huddle your first year, it's gonna be a lot

328
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: harder than your huddle now because now you can you

329
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 1: called these plays so many times over three years. If

330
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 1: you hear the first part of the play, you can

331
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: kind of tune out and you know the rest of it.

332
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: It's not like that you're rookie year. So your rookie

333
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 1: year definitely takes a lot longer and a lot more

334
00:20:55,119 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: prep throughout the week. So there's been a lot made

335
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: of roughing the passer. And I remember Andrew Luck saying

336
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: this to me, and I was kind of surprised. He

337
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: was on with me live years ago and he said, ah,

338
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: he goes, I love getting popped in the first quarter,

339
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: he says, and I'm like, dude, that's a no, not great.

340
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: And he said, you can do all you want in warmups,

341
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 1: but when you get popped in the NFL, he goes,

342
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 1: it's like espresso. And I think, I look at you

343
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: and I think you're a better late game quarterback than

344
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: early and some stuff. I'm better in the middle of

345
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: my show than I am at the start of it.

346
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: I've been doing this twenty five years. Do you feel

347
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: like there is a looseness, like, explain your ability? I

348
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 1: felt justin Herbert by the way Monday and now he

349
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: had an injury. They could have shot him up with something,

350
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: and he wasn't right for the first quarter. He was

351
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: just out of rhythm. I know, he spent two hours

352
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: warming up, and then by the third and fourth quarter

353
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: he's in a complete rhythm. Take me to that process. Well,

354
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: by the end of the game, you understand how the

355
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 1: defenses are trying to play you, so you have more

356
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: reps invested against this certain look that you're seeing from

357
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: the defense throughout that they were planning on all week,

358
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: and so now you know how they're going to play

359
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: you against certain formations. Two by two, three by one,

360
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 1: they know how you know, you know, they're blitz plattern

361
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 1: for the game. They've blitzing on second down, third down,

362
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: they're like the blitz first and tens. You know, understand

363
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: leverages of the corners and nickels. You just have more

364
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: reps seeing it. And so by the end of the game,

365
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,479
Speaker 1: I feel like that's when you should be playing your

366
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: best ball because you've you've seen how the defenses is

367
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: playing you, and you've made your adjustments since so now

368
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 1: you're just out out there playing. So as far as

369
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: getting hit, um, do you feel anybody's ever hit you cheaply? Um? Not?

370
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: In the NFL. No. I feel like, for the most part,

371
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 1: guys are pretty scared of getting that fifteen yard penalty.

372
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: They for the most part, are pretty respectful. I think

373
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: guys look out for each other on the field for

374
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: the most part, and they don't want to see injuries.

375
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: You know, some guys are more intense than others, but

376
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: I've never had a case where guy's out there trying

377
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: to trying to hurt somebody. Everybody wants to be healthy, right,

378
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: everybody plays new injuries. So Russell Wilson banged up. Herbert

379
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: was not one hundred percent last night. Dak Aaron Rodgers

380
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: this week. You could see him on the camera shots.

381
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: He kept doing his thumb. Have you ever started a

382
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: season and ended it without at least one week feeling terrible? No, No,

383
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: that's part of the game. That's part of our jobs

384
00:23:54,520 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: as quarterbacks is being reliable and accountable to go out

385
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: there and play. You know, all these guys, the offensive

386
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 1: defensive lines are getting in carbacks every single play. The

387
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: running backs and linebackers are running twenty miles an hour

388
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: head on, They're doing all these physical things. I think

389
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,479
Speaker 1: it's our job as quarterbacks to show our toughness and

390
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: bring that side out, go out there and play. Everyone's

391
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: playing injured at this point in the season, everybody's got something.

392
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: I think that's part of the job at quarterback. You

393
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 1: gotta find some through some stuff that other people might not.

394
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,199
Speaker 1: Because you're not going out and running twenty miles an

395
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 1: hour on a route. It's your ankles rolled, you know,

396
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: you could probably go out there and play with it.

397
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,959
Speaker 1: So I thought it was the best college football weekend

398
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: of the year. I'm not anti Alabama. I'm fatigued from Alabama,

399
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: so when they lost, I'm not gonna lie. I was

400
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: rooting for Tennessee completely and really completely. So I mean

401
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: you take me to that. I mean that was your

402
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,479
Speaker 1: biggest rival. I was. I was sort of tickled by it,

403
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 1: Like I didn't I didn't even know who this Tennessee

404
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: quarterback was six months ago, and I'm like, he's like

405
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: twenty five years old. Accurate, I mean really strong and accurate. Yeah,

406
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: it looks good. He was good. So I mean what

407
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 1: I mean, I I like seeing Alabama get beat. What

408
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: was your takeaway? Oh, I think that was a lot

409
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: of people's takeaway because they just don't lose very often, right,

410
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: they have been so good for so long. You said

411
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: you're getting tired of it. That's because you know they

412
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 1: have this process, in this culture that they've built, that

413
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: they're going to be good year in a year out,

414
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: and they're going to be in contention. So I think

415
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: that's a that's a credit to them. I can't say

416
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: I would ever root for Alabama. It was a fun

417
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: scene to watch on TV um Knoxville getting that win

418
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: and all those fans celebrating. So did Saban recruit you? No,

419
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 1: I wasn't exactly the highest recruited guy out of high school.

420
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: I did not have Anabama Okay, So was it Joe

421
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: Brady that found you at LSU? So when I was

422
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 1: at Ohio State, we had a special team's assistant named

423
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: Bill Bush, and Bill Bush became the safety's coach at

424
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: LSU and told Coacho about me when I was transferring,

425
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: and so that's how the whole process got started. Joe

426
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: Brady came in before, So my junior year we didn't

427
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 1: have Joe, and then Joe came in before my senior year,

428
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: and did you know instantly? I mean, Ed's totally different human.

429
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: I've never met anybody like Ed oars Ron like in

430
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: football or out of football. He's just the most unique

431
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: human I've ever met. Did you think in the first

432
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: discussion with Ed. I remember my first discussion. I remember

433
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: driving away from USC practice. I'm like, I've never had

434
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: a discussion like that with a person. What did you

435
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 1: make of Oregron? It was I could tell how intense

436
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: he was, how much he cared about winning, and how

437
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: much he cared about the state of Louisiana. Really, I mean,

438
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 1: that's that's why I went there, is because he sold

439
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: me this vision of doing exactly what we ended up doing.

440
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: Everything that he told me ended up turning out to

441
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: be true and pulled it off. But he's a he's

442
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: a special person that you know. I wouldn't be here

443
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: talking to you every Tuesday without Coacho, because I would

444
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: probably be work in finance or something. But he gave

445
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: me the opportunity and I ran with it. Do you

446
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: really and I wouldn't. This wouldn't bother me at all

447
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: if a company didn't give me a shot, Like do

448
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: you hold anything against Ohio State? A little bit of

449
00:27:55,359 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 1: I proved you wrong? Like I would have that in me. Yeah,

450
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 1: I mean I have some of that, but I also

451
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: still have great relationships there to this day. You know,

452
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: I'm really close. A lot of the coaches are still

453
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 1: there that I'm really close with Strength Staff. I'm really

454
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: close with you know. When I'm in Columbus, I try

455
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 1: to go see him because we're still close. But obviously

456
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 1: there's some of that emmy. I think every guy that

457
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: has played at a high level and gets to this

458
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: point has a little little bit of that in them. Yeah.

459
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: I wouldn't call it a grudge or anything. I still

460
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: love all those people, but I'm glad I ended up

461
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: doing what I did for sure. Yeah. My wife's funny,

462
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: she says, she said at one time was talking about

463
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: balance in my life, and she says, honey, you're balance.

464
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: You have a chip on both shoulders. I was like,

465
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: it's not the greatest quality I've got kids, but I

466
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: there is something, And I think I manufactured this in

467
00:28:55,880 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: my head. I do, like in a weird way. I

468
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: like people doubting me, Like what do you get in

469
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: your head? Like, you're in the NFL. Now you make

470
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: a lot of money. Now life's better. Now you got

471
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: your own place, now you made it. What gets you going?

472
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: What pisses you off? Yeah? I mean I think everybody

473
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: has that little dialogue in their head every day about

474
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: you know, what they're working for I'm just you can

475
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: feel it week in and week out, how much your

476
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: mood changes based off of winning and losing. And I'm

477
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: chasing that winning feeling every week, not just during the season,

478
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: but starting from the week after we stopped playing in

479
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: hopefully February. And that's why you're chasing. They're chasing that

480
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: winning feeling. They feeling in the locker room after a

481
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: big win. Everyone's excited, everyone's proud of the hard work

482
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: that they put in up to that point, and you

483
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: went out and got an opportunity and you made it happen.

484
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: There's nothing better than that accomplishing something. And that's that's

485
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: what gets me going every day. So I always think

486
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: about this when you fly home after winning in the NFL.

487
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: I mean, seriously, it's such a I mean, if you

488
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: flew to the West Coast and lost, that is a terrible, horrible,

489
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: unbelievably horrible. I mean, that'd be like going on vacation

490
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: with my kids and losing one of them and having

491
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: to fly home. It'd be like, like, what's the worst

492
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: flight you've ever been on? That one last weekend after

493
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: we lost to the Ravens Sunday night was tough. I mean,

494
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: you end up getting back at five in the morning

495
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: and you just lost a big game. There's nothing there's

496
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: nothing worse than that. But then on the other hand,

497
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: you go to New Orleans in a hostile environment and

498
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: you get a big come from behind victory. That flight

499
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: home is why you play the game. God, that'd be

500
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: great night. Team players in your pro career have caught

501
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: a pass from you. We all know Tyler and t

502
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: and Jamar and c J and AJ. I'm going to

503
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: ask you, the guys at the bottom of the list

504
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: with one or two. I want to see what your

505
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: memory is. I want to see what your memory is.

506
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: All right, Trenton Irwin, do you remember it? Yeah? We

507
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: still have. I threw him a back shoulder omahawk takeoff

508
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: on the left side line against Jacksonville last year on

509
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: Thursday Night. It's a big play for him. Stanley Morgan, Yeah,

510
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: I mean he's a great special teams player for us.

511
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: I probably hit him with a hitch, I assume, or

512
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: maybe a quick screen. All right, one more, Alex Ericsson

513
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: threw him a quick screen. Get what my rookie year? Okay,

514
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: what's the play called? You're not getting that called for sure?

515
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: No chance. Want you want the playbook, I can email

516
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: you the plays too. I'll just put it on the

517
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: volume website. It's no big deal. By the way, So

518
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: your base foundational offense is in when you go back

519
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: to practice on Wednesday, how many plays are at it like,

520
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: is it like heavy intellectual lifting or is it like

521
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: adjusting what you have? Yeah, it's always It's always a balance, right,

522
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: because you watch the film and you've you know, determine

523
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,959
Speaker 1: all these game plan coverage beaters for the week, and

524
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: sometimes you end up with ten twelve new plays and

525
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: you have to balance, you know, how much you can

526
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: actually put in with going out there and playing free

527
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: and playing fast and I'm thinking too much and running

528
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: stuff that you have reps invested in and there's only

529
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: so many reps in the week. And I think that's

530
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: you know, we're starting to find that balance of you know,

531
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: putting in those five or six plays that you think

532
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: are going to be really good against their coverage and

533
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:14,959
Speaker 1: then also just running the base stuff that you ran

534
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: all training camp and you have three years of work

535
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: invested in. And so I think our coaches are doing

536
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: a great job of balancing that out. Have you ever

537
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: has there ever been a play called in a game

538
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: and you're like, man, we didn't get enough reps on this,

539
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: I don't love the play. Every now and then, you know,

540
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: going back college NFL, there's always one that you feel like,

541
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: maybe you didn't get this throw and during the week

542
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: or that throw. But you know, I think what's great

543
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: about what we do is, you know, Zach always asked me,

544
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: we always have a meeting on Saturday. Hey, we're going

545
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: through what I like, what I don't like. And for

546
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: the most part, we're always on the same page about

547
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: the plays that we like and we don't like. But

548
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,240
Speaker 1: if there's one that I feel strongly about that maybe

549
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: I don't like as much, he's usually not going to

550
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: call it because he knows I'm out there and I'm

551
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 1: the run trying to execute it, and we're the ones

552
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: on the field trying to execute it. And so now

553
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 1: I think that's a credit to him, and a lot

554
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: of a lot of coaches would feel the same way

555
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 1: that he does. And so I'm lucky to have a

556
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: guy like him. You have games now, you will be favored.

557
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,720
Speaker 1: There's some backup quarterbacks, there's some young quarterbacks. So you've

558
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: come out of the situation where you're in intent road

559
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: environments star quarterbacks, how do you ensure because you can

560
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: look at that schedule and go shit, when when when when? Like,

561
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: to me, the responsibility is a little on Joe Burrow

562
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 1: to kick ass a practice for the next few weeks

563
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,720
Speaker 1: because I could look at that schedule. I'm a second

564
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: year wide receiver on my shit, man, I'm hitting my

565
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: bonus against that team. Like, do you feel like sometimes

566
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: in those games where you're favored, you become your leadership

567
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: is a bigger deal. Yeah, I think that's fair to say.

568
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: I think for the most part, we got veteran guys

569
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: to understand how hard it really is to win this

570
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: league every single week. I mean, nothing is ever easy,

571
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: no matter who you're playing in. We have veteran guys

572
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: that know how to practice, get the reps in that

573
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: we need to get to because practice is really where

574
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: you accumulate the timing and chemistry that you need to

575
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 1: go out there and have success on Sundays. Okay, so

576
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: there's apparently I'm not on my phone as much as

577
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: young people, but there's a piece of video that somebody

578
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 1: coughed and you kind of had some reaction and everybody's

579
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: Joe Burtle is afraid of coughing, and I'm like, no,

580
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: it probably startled them. So first of all, explain the

581
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:02,240
Speaker 1: coughing video. I haven't seen it. Explain it. I honestly

582
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 1: don't even remember it happening in the press conference. I

583
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: could have been reacting to something completely different, but based

584
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: off of the clothes that I was wearing, that had

585
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: to be week two, week three somewhere around there, so

586
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: several weeks ago. But I don't even remember the interaction

587
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,800
Speaker 1: in the press conference, to be honest. But my staff

588
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: wrote down seven things that people in America are afraid of,

589
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna give you them. There's one here I

590
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: do not like at all. And I'm not a phobia guy,

591
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: but you tell me not a fan, no, biggie, here's mine.

592
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 1: I do not like snakes, like at all. Snakes alex snakes.

593
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: You like snakes, alex snakes? You could grab a snake? Yeah?

594
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 1: I could grab a snake? Oh yeah yeah? Uh no.

595
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: Spiders hate spiders, Okay, why I had to get my

596
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,720
Speaker 1: I had to get my mom to get the spider

597
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: out of my arm several times growing up. So my

598
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: daughter is ridiculous. I'm like a snake has eaten a person.

599
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,399
Speaker 1: A spider is the It's the size of a pen.

600
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: So what is it? Was? Spiders the legs. It's a

601
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: great question. I don't have the answer. Okay, heights, they

602
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: don't bother me. I like looking down clowns. Clowns don't

603
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 1: bother me. The dark. No, I'm not scared of the dark.

604
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup with two minutes left, bad, I'm scared of

605
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: everybody is afraid of that. Yeah. Off a very hot

606
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: week in both college and pro. I tore it up

607
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: Chad Hilman CCO Action Network. All of our odds presented

608
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,280
Speaker 1: by a FanDuel. We call it Sharper Square. So listen,

609
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: I went big underdogs last week. Scores of NFL games

610
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 1: chattered down seven and a half points. In two years,

611
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 1: big plays are down thirty five percent, meaning I like points,

612
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 1: We're gonna get fewer points in these games. So I'm

613
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: gonna go big dogs this weekend. So you're ready for

614
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 1: my first Sharper Square, Let's do it. Steelers at the Dolphins.

615
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: So a lot of people feel like, oh, Pittsburgh got

616
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: very very lucky, very very lucky. If you look at

617
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:43,439
Speaker 1: what Pittsburgh's doing with Kenny Pickett. He's okay. They're gonna

618
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: put a lot of pressure on ta if he plays.

619
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 1: I do not believe the Steelers and the Dolphins is

620
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:54,800
Speaker 1: going to provide us a wild shootout. I'm gonna probably

621
00:38:54,840 --> 00:39:00,919
Speaker 1: take Pittsburgh in seven. I took Pittsburgh against Tampa. If

622
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: you go back to the Buffalo loss, they threw for

623
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty yards. I think the Steelers hang

624
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: with him lose, but I'll take seven sharper squares. Let

625
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: me ask you a question. Yeah, there are you know,

626
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: twelve games this week, thirteen games whatever it is with

627
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 1: the buye, so there will be an even number of

628
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: underdogs and an even number of There will be the

629
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: same number of underdogs and favorites of all the games

630
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: you can choose. They're gonna choose a game where two

631
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 1: is expected to start, and if he does, he's coming

632
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: off of a pretty brutal concussion. It hasn't played in weeks.

633
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: We think it'll be Kenny Pickett coming back from a concussion,

634
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: but we still aren't confirmed. We think that the Steelers

635
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: defensive backfield is still decimated. You can choose any game

636
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: and you're choosing this one, well, I give you seven

637
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: a week. I didn't say it was my the greatest pick. Ever.

638
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 1: You don't like it. Not only is this not a

639
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 1: sharper square pick, this is a nobody's even talking about

640
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: this game. I would say I agree with you that

641
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,320
Speaker 1: the Steelers are the right side because it's a big underdog.

642
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin, we talked about this last week right against

643
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: the Bucks. What I say, I said, take Mike Tomlin,

644
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: take the bus at plus eight and a half, same situation,

645
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: good team. We don't know what we have in Miami

646
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:34,800
Speaker 1: right now. The Steelers are consistently a team that covers

647
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: these big numbers. Yes, Steelers are going to be the

648
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: right side, not necessarily the sharp side, but the right side. Okay,

649
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers coming off an embarrassing loss, though not

650
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: a highly emotional loss. Kansas City coming off the big

651
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: game of the year, a slight pullback. Niners eleven starters

652
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 1: out last week, get three crucial starters back. Chiefs are

653
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: the worst tackling team in the league. What is San

654
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 1: Francisco great yards after the catch? I love the number

655
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 1: at three. I'd still take the Niners at minus two

656
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: plus two and a half sharper square, dude, Now we're talking. Now,

657
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 1: we're talking. Yeah, this is sharp, so sharp. It's gone

658
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 1: to it's opened at three, it's moved to two and

659
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: a half. All of the tickets are in Kansas City

660
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: and this number still moved down. That tells you that

661
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: the Wise Guys are on San Francisco right now. What's

662
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 1: really interesting is that the tickets have been on Kansas

663
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: City by a preposterous number eighty eighty five percent the

664
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 1: entire week, and the bookmakers knew they couldn't moved to

665
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 1: three and a half because they knew if they did,

666
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: the Wise Guys were going to come in on San Francisco.

667
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 1: And it didn't matter. They came in on San Francisco

668
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 1: at plus three. As you know, Colin I co host

669
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: a podcast in the Volume podcast network called The Favorites

670
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: with my co host Simon Hunter. So lately we've been

671
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 1: doing the show live on AMP because Volume has a

672
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 1: deal with AMP right and it's been super fun and

673
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: we're getting these live reactions now from professional betters as

674
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: we're doing the show talking about games. So on Tuesday,

675
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 1: we're doing the show and we're getting texts from professional

676
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,760
Speaker 1: betters we're talking about the Niners, and they are saying,

677
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 1: you gotta take the Niners. You gotta take the Niners,

678
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: you gotta take the Niners. This was Tuesday when it

679
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: was at plus three. So immediately we hit the Niners

680
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: at plus three and we talked about it again today.

681
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 1: We still like the Niners at plus two and a half. Okay.

682
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: I often look for things that are sustainable. Jets plus

683
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,479
Speaker 1: one and a half at the Broncos. So, as Greg

684
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: ko Selter told me Thursday on Fox, the Jets front

685
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 1: seven is real. It's sustainable, it's consistent. They also have

686
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: a lockdown corner and DJ Read a second excellent corner.

687
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 1: The Broncos are now backups across their offensive line and

688
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 1: guys who really aren't very highly graded. This is really

689
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: low scoring. I said it last week when I picked

690
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: the Packers to lose to the Jets. I said, this

691
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 1: is a real team. They're not letting Zach Wilson get

692
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: in the way of the team. He only at eighteen attempts.

693
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: I think the Jets are a better team. I think

694
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: they'll win again, and I think they'll win seven to

695
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: ten points. I think what they're doing sustainable. I think

696
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 1: it's a bad matchup with their front and the Broncos

697
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 1: old line. Sharper square. Yeah, it's totally sharp. This number

698
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: has moved down. It's moving in the Jets direction. It's

699
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 1: not just moving in the Jets direction because of what

700
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 1: the Broncos did in prime time or because of what

701
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson has been doing. The wise guys are invested

702
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,479
Speaker 1: in the Jets. They were on the Jets last week,

703
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: as you noted, against the Packers at plus seven and

704
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 1: a half and consistently moving that number down. It's an

705
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: interesting game if you dig deeper on the numbers. Zach

706
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 1: Wilson is really a terrible quarterback, and when he's in

707
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: the pocket, his QB rating is very good. When he's

708
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,439
Speaker 1: under pressure and blitz his QB rating is three point four.

709
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: So when you say they are not letting him get

710
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 1: in the way, they are doing their best to keep

711
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,800
Speaker 1: him out of the way. Like Joe Flacco right now

712
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,760
Speaker 1: is a better quarterback for the Jets than Zach Wilson,

713
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: but they have all the other elements you talked about,

714
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 1: Like this defense is for real, Sauce Gardner is for real.

715
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 1: The biggest challenge right now. The Broncos defense is really good,

716
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 1: so can they stop Breeze Hall? And I think that

717
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: what you're going to find is that there is a

718
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: point in this number where it gets down to one

719
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,320
Speaker 1: and a half. It gets down to one, the wise

720
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 1: guys buy it back because I think that's sort of

721
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 1: their breaking point and how comfortable they feel betting the Jets.

722
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 1: You know another game that's that's interesting, and I'm going

723
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: to go with a favorite here is I'm going to

724
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: take the Chargers minus five and a half. And here's why.

725
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: Corey Lindsley, though not announced, I called practiced. He's back.

726
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: He calls all their protections. So what did you see

727
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 1: from the Chargers against Denver? They were in a third

728
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: string center, they weren't calling protections. They were missing on

729
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: all the stunts. They'll clean up the offensive line. Also,

730
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: what can give the Chargers trouble if you have a

731
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: dominating number one corner, which Denver has, It takes Mike

732
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 1: Williams out of the game. Seattle is okay at corner,

733
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: certainly not dominant. I'm taking the Chargers to win, actually convincingly.

734
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: It's dropped to minus five and a half. It's it's

735
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: I don't. Seattle's got a game. Their tackles are excellent,

736
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 1: but I would take the charge Sharper square totally square.

737
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 1: It's moved from six and a half to five and

738
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 1: a half because of professional money they are in on

739
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: the Seahawks right now. I think there's real issues and

740
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: they believe there are real issues with what the Chargers

741
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,840
Speaker 1: are doing offensively because they have had so many offensive

742
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 1: line issues, but also because they're just not calling good

743
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 1: game plans. Joe Lombardi is calling a very strange conservative

744
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:30,839
Speaker 1: We're going to run a first down, run a second down,

745
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: hope Justin Herbert can find a miracle on third down.

746
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 1: And it's not playing to the strengths of this offense.

747
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,840
Speaker 1: And I think they like what they're seeing from Seattle

748
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:44,240
Speaker 1: and not just in Geno Smith, who through six weeks

749
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: now is proving to be a serviceable to better than

750
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 1: serviceable quarterback, and we can recite the litany of stats

751
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 1: that he has that put him in the top tier

752
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks right now. We're not going to be crazy.

753
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: We're not going to use a small sample size to

754
00:46:57,520 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 1: say all of a sudden, Geno Smith is an all

755
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 1: pro quarter back, but he's doing the things that he

756
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 1: does need to do to keep this team in games

757
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 1: and help them win games. And I actually think Kenneth

758
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,240
Speaker 1: Walker is potentially a better solution for them at running

759
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: back than Rashad Penny. He's pretty amazing and so this

760
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,240
Speaker 1: is a really good matchup for them against the Charters

761
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: team that is consistently overvalued. The Giants line didn't make

762
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:23,399
Speaker 1: a ton of sense. I think they're the better team

763
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: and they're getting points. Jacksonville losing again, the crowd will

764
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:29,800
Speaker 1: be a non factor, arguably be a pro Giants crowd.

765
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,399
Speaker 1: I think what the Giants are doing, I think there's

766
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: I think their ability to play solid football in the

767
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 1: second half. Daniel Jones is not making mistakes. Trevor Lawrence

768
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,319
Speaker 1: is despite his talent. I think the Giants are the

769
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 1: better team. They're getting points. Crowd is an absolute non factor.

770
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,839
Speaker 1: The heat of Jacksonville that's not a factor, or now

771
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 1: in late October that would worry me. I think they

772
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: control the line of scrimmage. I think their defense gives

773
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 1: forces Trevor Lawrence and the mistakes. I would take the

774
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 1: Giants straight out sharper square. So the wise guys are

775
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,280
Speaker 1: on the Jacks and it's an interesting matchup, a really

776
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 1: interesting matchup. The Giants are grading out as the luckiest

777
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 1: team in the NFL, and I don't mean that in

778
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 1: a pejorative way. I mean that in ways that we

779
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 1: can quantify At Action Network. We publish something called the

780
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: Luck Rankings that takes into factors such as turnovers, mistakes

781
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 1: by the other teams, things that you would expect to

782
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: show some regression to the mean. The Giants are far

783
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 1: and away the luckiest team in the NFL. Okay, they're

784
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 1: thirtieth in DVOA and defense, which basically just says they're

785
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 1: really bad at defense. They've had miraculous wins week after

786
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: week after week. They beat the Panthers by three, they

787
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: beat the Bears by eight. They beat the Packers, who

788
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:53,760
Speaker 1: are looking worse and worse each week. They have turnover

789
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 1: turnovers to beat the Ravens. They've been tied or trailed

790
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter of all five games that they've run.

791
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: I think this is a Bilow Cell high spot for

792
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,800
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. The Jaguars have a really good rush defense

793
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 1: this year. It plays to the Giant strength, and the

794
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 1: Jags have been in the opposite side of luck in

795
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: this situation no joke. Last week, Trevor Lawrence played the

796
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: best statistical game in the history of the NFL for

797
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 1: a quarterback. To lose like they have just had bad

798
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 1: spots again and again and again. Jags at the side here.

799
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell you my favorite that's interesting to me is Ravens.

800
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 1: Ravens minus six and a half. They're really a good team.

801
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:46,280
Speaker 1: They've led by double digits. They're using now Lamar so much.

802
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 1: He looks somewhat fatigued by the fourth quarter and has

803
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 1: been a bad fourth quarter quarterback. Cleveland's not a good team.

804
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: You see Jacoby Brissette four or five times as a starter,

805
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:00,439
Speaker 1: and he just you can see he can't do much.

806
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 1: I think Baltimore is a really good team that's had

807
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 1: bad fourth quarters. I watched the Giants Ravens game for

808
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:10,240
Speaker 1: a second time this week. They were the better football team.

809
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:12,760
Speaker 1: This is one of the few blowouts of the weekend

810
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 1: to me, even though it's a divisional game. I think

811
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 1: the Ravens win comfortably at home. Pissed off after blowing

812
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: that game, Sharper Square. Yeah, look, I think that Jacoby

813
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: Brissette has definitely turned into a pumpkin. The wise guys

814
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:29,319
Speaker 1: are going to be on Baltimore in this game. It's

815
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: moved from five and a half up to six and

816
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 1: a half. The Browns defense is putrid, So now you're

817
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 1: getting a quarterback who's not nearly as effective as he

818
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 1: was in the early part of the year with a

819
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 1: defense that is just dreadful, especially a rush defense that

820
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: is dress dreadful. I know JK. Dobbins had some limited

821
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,919
Speaker 1: practice this week, but Lamar is still Lamar, and he's

822
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 1: running it so thoughtfully and strategically and getting himself out

823
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 1: of bounds and sliding in the right spots. It's a

824
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 1: real weapon for them. Obvious. We all agree. So the

825
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 1: wise guys are with you. Okay, there's two other games.

826
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 1: One I have no opinion on. I have a hunch,

827
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: and I want your expertise. I would take the Commander's

828
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 1: plus four and a half. I don't buy Green Bay.

829
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 1: I haven't bought Green Bay. I had the Jets beating

830
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:22,280
Speaker 1: Green Bay. My theory is we have anointed Matt Lafleur

831
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 1: to a vib club and he's never paid his dues.

832
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 1: The special teams are a wreck again. The defense is

833
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 1: under achieving. He's supposed to be a run designed coach.

834
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 1: They don't use Aaron Jones, they can't throw the deep ball.

835
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 1: They may win, but four it was at five and

836
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 1: a half. At one point in FanDuel, it's four and

837
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: a half. It feels like a strong commander's play. Should

838
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 1: I put that in my blazing five? You one hundred

839
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,400
Speaker 1: percent should put this in your blazing five. It's a

840
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:49,319
Speaker 1: game that the wise guys have been talking about all week.

841
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 1: They targeted it as soon as it opened at five

842
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 1: and a half. It's why you've seen it go down

843
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:57,399
Speaker 1: to four and a half. You take the decals off

844
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 1: the helmets, and you're talking about two teams that have

845
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 1: mediocre to bad defenses, right, and you're talking about the

846
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 1: only thing that the Commanders do really well on defense

847
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 1: is pressure the quarterback without having a blitz. Their third

848
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 1: best in pressure rate against as a defense without having

849
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 1: a blitz. The one thing we know can trouble Aaron

850
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 1: Rodgers is when you can get to him and pressure

851
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 1: him without having two blitz So that plays to Washington's advantage.

852
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:33,879
Speaker 1: Then let's look at the other side. Let's say it's

853
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 1: Taylor Heineck and you've got a backup quarterback coming in

854
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 1: for Carson Wentz. The wise guys look at this and think,

855
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 1: wait a second, we're better off with Taylor Heineck playing quarterback.

856
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 1: He has aetter, he has a better career completion percentage,

857
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 1: similar yards per attempt to Carson Wentz for his career,

858
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 1: similar QBR, and he's more mobile than Carson Wentz. So

859
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 1: it sounds crazy when you look at it. Sort of

860
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,360
Speaker 1: without the numbers, you say, I'm going to bet on

861
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 1: a team with the backup quarterback whose ownership group is

862
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 1: in complete disarray and they're generally a historically bad franchise

863
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 1: against the defending two time MVP. But this is the

864
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 1: spot where you take the commanders. This game should be

865
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 1: power rated it It is power rated at three to

866
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 1: three and a half tops. So right now you're still

867
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:27,360
Speaker 1: getting about a point to point and a half of value. Okay,

868
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:29,439
Speaker 1: So then I ask you every week for a game

869
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:31,359
Speaker 1: that I have not discussed. By the way, I think

870
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 1: the craziest thing in the league so far is the

871
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 1: fact that we think the culture awful and they're three

872
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: to two on one win over the Chiefs. That's not

873
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 1: the game. But I literally said this week, I'm like, oh,

874
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 1: they're awful. And then I looked at I went they

875
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 1: have a winning record. They beat Kansas City? How is

876
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 1: that possible? Right? What's the game you love that I

877
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 1: haven't brought up? Yeah, the Chiefs are stunning, right like you,

878
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: we all think the Chiefs should be The Cults should

879
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 1: be oh in six right now? The way that like

880
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,399
Speaker 1: they started the year, they looked so disoriented. Did Matt

881
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:04,320
Speaker 1: Ryan look terrible? It's very interesting that the sports books

882
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 1: they never as bad as the Colts looked. They never

883
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: had the Cults out of the lead position to win

884
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 1: the AFC South. Their odds were always shortest to win

885
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:19,840
Speaker 1: the AFC South. As usual, the bookmakers are seeing something

886
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 1: and knowing something that the rest of us aren't. The

887
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 1: game that you haven't talked about, which is interesting to me.

888
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 1: Houston Texans plus seven against the Las Vegas Raiders, I

889
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:34,719
Speaker 1: don't really understand, and the professional betters don't really understand

890
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:38,319
Speaker 1: why this number is as big as it is. As

891
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 1: we just talked about with Washington and Green Bay, these

892
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 1: are two teams that generally are evenly matched when it

893
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:48,319
Speaker 1: comes to what their offensive units are doing and what

894
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 1: their defensive units are doing in terms of overall rankings.

895
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 1: There is no reason the Raiders in any scenario should

896
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 1: be a touchdown favorite against anyone, and this year the

897
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 1: Texans have petitive in every game. The only game they

898
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:06,319
Speaker 1: haven't really been competitive in from a score perspective, they

899
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 1: lost to the Los Angeles Chargers by ten points. They

900
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 1: were in that game the entire time. It was until

901
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 1: two minutes left that they ended up getting it out

902
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 1: of hand. So the Texans have been competitive and the

903
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 1: Raiders aren't. So a touchdown favorite it's a little bit

904
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 1: too big for me. The volume, make sure to check
