I'm recording this Monday night. 32 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: Just watch Seattle blast the Giants. We will talk about 33 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: that off the top. Then we'll talk about some other 34 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: football stuff that happened over the last twenty four to 35 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: forty eight hours. Like I do every Sunday. Me and 36 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 1: Colin talked it out and I dive into a couple 37 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: of things that we didn't get to talk about and 38 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: the things I'm fired up on. Here's the game plan 39 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 1: this week, I'm moving, so I finally can move into 40 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: my house. And she has a lot more stuff than 41 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: I do, and I have a decent amount of stuff. 42 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna record this podcast then in the morning 43 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: tomorrow before I move, I'm probably gonna do a big 44 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: mail bag at John Middlecoff. At John Middlecoff is the 45 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: Instagram fire in those dms, and that will be for Wednesday. 46 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: And there's not gonna be a podcast this Thursday. So 47 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: instead of having five podcasts we usually have the one 48 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: with Colin and then I just do four for the 49 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: rest of the week, we're only gonna have three. We'll 50 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: have this one, we will have one Wednesday, and then 51 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: we'll have one Friday. So no podcast Thursday. That is 52 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: the plan right now, just because I got responsibilities that 53 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: I have to take care of. I I just don't 54 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: have a choice. Don't have internet, but I got a hotspot, 55 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: So this is just an ordeal. I don't like I'm 56 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: a creature habit. I get very a routine oriented individual. 57 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: So this is a little uncomfortable of a week, but 58 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: we will make do. We can't. We're not going to 59 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 1: complain about something that hasn't even happened yet. So that's 60 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: the plan. If you're listening on Collins Feed, make sure 61 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast.

Other than that, let's rock and roll. What 64 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: I need you to do is I need you to 65 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: grab your cell phone.

Promo code John twenty dollars off. Okay, Monday 90 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: Night Football. Listen. We hang our hat on honesty, authenticity 91 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: on this show. And I'm just gonna lay this out 92 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: before I dive into the game. I watched it as 93 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: I do every game, as I will this Thursday game. Hell, 94 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: I'm moving this week. I I got a hot spot 95 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: and I will watch every play of Commanders Bears. I 96 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 1: do it for you. If that game would have been 97 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: on on Sunday morning, the ten am slate where there 98 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: was a large slate that would have been in a 99 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: little box on like my third TV, and I would 100 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: have watched very little. And if you're not a Giants 101 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 1: or a Seahawks fan, you would agree. Now, if you 102 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: gambled on the game. If you have a fantasy player, 103 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 1: maybe you would be a little more locked in on Sunday. 104 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: But when you put a game like that on Monday 105 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: night football, And this is the crazy part about the league, right, 106 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: I mean Seattle obviously Gino got a little banged up 107 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: that they were a little off. Those are two playoff teams. 108 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: Now there are seven seeds, right, Seattle was the seven seed. 109 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: The Giants were the six. But I bet when they 110 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: were putting the schedule together at New York, who hell, 111 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: I was wrong. I thought they'd be a playoff team 112 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: again in Seattle, like not a bad little game, not 113 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: a bad little wild card matchup, And it really wasn't. 114 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: It was Seattle beat the living piss out of them. 115 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: And let's start with them, because I want to be happy. 116 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: I want to start on the positive note, and I 117 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: think Seattle does. There's a lot of credit. And like 118 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: when you watch that game the night, it doesn't take 119 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: Howie Roseman or Brian day Ball or Jerry Jones to 120 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: realize the talent discrepancy in that game. Now, both teams 121 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: had key guys out cross the left tackle for Seattle obviously, 122 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 1: Saquon and Thomas out for the Giants. But when you 123 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 1: watch Seattle a couple of years ago, everyone was shitting 124 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: on him, and this was when Russell was on the team, 125 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: and ultimately they pivoted. And right now you see two 126 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: guys in their early seventies which in the last couple 127 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 1: of years have lost Hall of Fame quarterbacks, Belichick and 128 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll. And one guy made the playoffs last year 129 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: and looks headed there again. The other guy is in 130 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: shambles and looks like he's gonna win six games. Do 131 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: you know a big difference between the two operations. I'll 132 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: give you two words, John Snyder. Belichick doesn't lean on 133 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: a GM. Belichick picks all the players. He doesn't listened 134 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 1: to anybody. Pete Carroll and John Schneider have been tied 135 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 1: at the hip for a long time, and they've swung 136 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 1: and they've missed, and I've always given them a lot 137 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: of credit for willing to get up to the plate 138 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: and swing for the fences. And listen, you saw tonight 139 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams, who's been banged up with a million injuries 140 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,559 Speaker 1: the last couple of years, makes his debut, gets knead 141 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: in the head and wants to kill the doctor nine 142 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: plays after getting yanked out the field for a concussion, right, 143 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: And I don't blame him. That's that's the reaction usually 144 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: from players. They don't want to be told they're not 145 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: allowed to go back, especially when you factor in the circumstances. 146 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: But let's face it, that is a move. They would 147 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: definitely like a redo. But look at all the talent 148 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: they had on that field, and a lot of it 149 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: is recently drafted. You know, Kenneth Walker, that guy running 150 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: all over the place. You know the reason before Mel 151 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: Tucker couldn't keep his fingers off his cell phone calling 152 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: Brenda Taylor and got himself in some trouble and ultimately 153 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: lost his job. Kenneth Walker got that guy ninety million dollars. 154 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: Because you remove ninety million dollars from that guy's coaching resume, 155 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: he's terrible. He's not a five million dollar coach total. 156 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker is a stud. DK metcalf baller. This draft, 157 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: they had a really tough decision. When I think Pete 158 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: Carroll and Seattle and really Pete Carroll Seattle slash USC, 159 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, you know, he'll take some flyers on 160 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: some character guys, because usually that guy can play. He'll 161 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: go with his Percy Harvin's He did it with a 162 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: lot of guys at USC's like, yeah, this guy's a 163 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: little bit of a wild card, but the dude has talent. 164 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,839 Speaker 1: So it's like, God, Seattle's gonna take Jalen Carter at 165 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: number five. You can see it coming from a mile away. 166 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: It was a no brainer. And then they get their 167 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: pick and they take the corner slash safety Nickel do 168 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: it all from Illinois Witherspoon and you're watching him the 169 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: night and the number one obviously had the pick six. 170 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: He was flying around making TFLs. My big takeaway from 171 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: him is like that reminds me of a defensive back 172 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: that would have played with Richard Sherman, Cam Chancellor and 173 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: Earl Thomas. He feels lob But this speaks to the 174 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: cohesion of Pete and John Schneider and the importance of 175 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: having a coach in GM. Clearly, they both need to 176 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: be talented, and obviously both guys are, but they respect 177 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: each other, they believe in each other, and they work 178 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: well to each other because they've pivoted the move off 179 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. The players they've acquired since is pretty evident. 180 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 1: Now are they a suitable contender? Hard to be with 181 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: Gino Smith and I like the guy, and hell, that's 182 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: a pretty damn good move. But that team has a 183 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: lot of talent. That team is equipped, and they're not 184 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 1: going away because a lot of their talent is now young. 185 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: And I think Pete got kind of as the kids 186 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: would say, drug for a long time on the internet 187 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: because like, oh, Russell Wilson's just carrying his hess. No, 188 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: actually he knows what he's doing. Pretty good coach. Now 189 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: his coaching staff is defensive coordinator Knight had seventy five sacks, 190 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: his offensive coordinator Liam Cohen. I guess Liam Cohen actually 191 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: is back with the Rams, but he has a RAMS 192 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: guy as well in Seattle. Like that, they just know 193 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: what they're doing. And I have a lot of respect 194 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: for Seattle and this post Russell Wilson pivot that they 195 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: made and the talent on the field is just evident, 196 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: and I enjoy watching them. I think they they're just 197 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: good and if Gino can stay healthy. A little scared there, 198 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: but I mean that's a double digit win team and 199 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: that's you know, probably the sixth seed in the NFC. 200 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: Now on the flip side. The number one story coming 201 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: out of tonight is going to be Daniel Jones, who 202 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: threw a couple picks a pick six and it's just 203 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 1: looked pretty bad this season. And it's always easy to 204 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: play Monday morning quarterback. But there is no disputing that 205 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: his agents and his representation in this offseason they bent 206 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: over the Giants management Joe Shane in ownership because I 207 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: always thought the easy move and just the simple move. 208 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: You're not just gonna let him walk who's gonna play 209 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: quarterback for you? Just franchise tag him and then basically 210 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: get a two year sample size of what you view 211 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: he is. Because right now, if Daniel Jones was playing 212 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: on the franchise tag, while he would be overpaid, you'd 213 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: go listen, you're not tied to him. Pass this year. 214 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 1: You can make a pivot at this year's shitty. It's 215 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: not that big a deal. Everyone understands that you were 216 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: kind of, you know, between a rock and a hard place. 217 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: You were stuck, and he did it right. But when 218 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: you gave him the big money, you open yourself up 219 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: to criticism. When he plays like he's been playing, and 220 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: let's face it, he's not playing very good. He looks awful, 221 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: and he's making a ton of money. And part of 222 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 1: making a ton of money is having the ability if yeh, 223 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: Saquan has a rolled ankle and you're missing, you know, 224 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: a tackle, that I can still make enough place to 225 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 1: give us a chance to win. And not only can 226 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: he not do that, he's the opposite. He loses you games. 227 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: So when I look at the Giants' financial decisions, they 228 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 1: had two guys that were free agencies, free agents or 229 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: hitting free agency, right, Saquon Barkley and Daniel Jones. My 230 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: thought all along was franchise the quarterback, let Saquon hit 231 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: the market and just be willing what was he gonna get? 232 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: Who was gonna give Saquon Barkley twenty million dollars guaranteed? Now, 233 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: ultimately you gave him essentially like eleven or twelve with 234 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: the franchise tag, but you would have been you would 235 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 1: have gladly given him a two year deal. Who was 236 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: giving him some massive money? So to me, financially, the 237 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: reason I thought Brian da Ball was the coach of 238 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: the Year last year. Their team's not that good. They 239 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: don't have that many impact players. It was on full 240 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: display tonight. The talent on their team is nowhere near 241 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: Seattle in Seattle last year was a seventh seed, and 242 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: this year they've added Witherspoon, who's a big addition, right, 243 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: might help win them an extra game. Right, So instead 244 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: of being a nine win team, their ten win team. 245 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 1: But that's not like a fourteen win team. And when 246 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,199 Speaker 1: you look at the Giants, their margin ferer never was 247 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: that big because they don't This isn't seven, this isn't 248 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 1: eleven Kiwanuka JPP. Those guys ain't walking through the door. 249 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: Justin Tucking his prime, that's not this squad. Cavon Thibodeau 250 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: is an interesting player's got a long way to go, 251 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: and offensively, right, they're missing some weapons just in general 252 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: on their team, they literally don't have that many. So 253 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: when you look at the Giants, once you overpay the 254 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 1: quarterback and your team's not that talented, your margin fererer 255 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 1: dramatically shrinks. And you watch tonight, everyone's thinking it, God, 256 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: we'd like that contract back. God, that was a mistake. 257 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: I mean, we're four games into this thing, and I 258 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: think the easy solution was just you franchised the wrong player, 259 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: because you would have been able to re sign the 260 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: other player. Again, I will ask this out loud. Who 261 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 1: was giving Saquon Barkley three for thirty? Who was doing that? 262 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 1: The entire league won't pay any of these running backs 263 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 1: their own guys which they like. The Colts love Jonathan Taylor, 264 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,719 Speaker 1: the Raiders love Josh Jacobs. None of them will pay 265 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: these guys. So I think the Giants fell under the 266 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: trap of they let emotion. Say what you want about 267 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: Belichick not going well, but the reason he was such 268 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: a great GM with Brady was no emotion. He could 269 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: make decisions purely on business, become very black and white, 270 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: positive negative. There wasn't a lot of gray area with him. 271 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: He didn't let like. I really love the way Saquan 272 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: represents the team, Like, yeah, a lot of guys represent 273 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: their team. Well. Is he worth the money or is 274 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: he not? Is he worth letting get free agency? Or 275 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: are you gonna franchise stagger Daniel Jones? He is just 276 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: such a class act, a lot of class acts in 277 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: the NFL. Are you gonna give him eighty million dollars 278 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: or can you just play him one season thirty million 279 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: dollars and figure it out from there and have a 280 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: difference of fifty million dollars, right, can we make unemotional decisions? 281 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: And one knock historically on the Giants is they really 282 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: get emotionally tied to guys, which I'm human. I do, 283 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: two you do too. But when you're talking, it's one 284 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: thing if it's a seven million dollar player. It's another 285 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: thing when you're paying a quarterback over forty million dollars 286 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: a year. And that's how when you get emotionally tied, 287 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: you make mistakes. And I understand Brian Dabole he needs 288 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: a quarterback, but he saw him tonight. You saw the 289 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: reaction to night after the pick six when he goes 290 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: over to him, shakes his head, then he grabs the 291 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: tablet and essentially throws as Daniel Jones was standing right there. 292 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: I thought Troy Aikman summed it up pretty well. The 293 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: only positive on Daniel Jones is how the hell does 294 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: he not lose it? Because a lot of those sacks 295 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: and I think there were ten of them tonight, which 296 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: is kind of crazy from a team that struggles to 297 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: rush the passer. Very telling of the Giants' offensive line, 298 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: which is not great. That they got issues, and I 299 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: think for the Giants I don't know if it's gonna 300 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: get much better now Saquan comes back, maybe Darren Waller 301 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: kind of his role grows, but it's pretty ugly and 302 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: it's got ugly fast. So Seattle's trending up, the Giants 303 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: are trending down, and thank God games over and get 304 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: ready for Commander's Bears. Now, speaking of the Bears, let 305 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: me preface this whole ramp by saying I don't pretend 306 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: to know more about player personnel than Ryan Pols. Like 307 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: if you just ask Ryan Poles about every guy drafted 308 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: the last five years, he could rattle off ninety nine 309 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: percent of the guy's strengths, weaknesses, their background, like he 310 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: knows player personnel, just like if you ask Eberflus to 311 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: get on a whiteboard, I wouldn't know five percent of 312 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: just overall defense or X's nose compared to the guy. 313 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: So I'm not acting like I know more about being 314 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: a GM than Ryan Poles, or I know more about 315 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: X's nose than Eberflus. But I've been watching football long enough, 316 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: I've been around the game long enough, and I've seen 317 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: situations in my time being working in football close to football, 318 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: doing this for a living that are just no brainers. 319 00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: I would consider them BEP fastballs, Like it's just this 320 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: is too easy. It doesn't get any easier than this. 321 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: There are complicated situations. Hell, I'd even go back to 322 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 1: the Giants. I understand the Saquon Daniel Jones free agency 323 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: was complicated. It's easy to play Monday morning quarterback and 324 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna do it. But I'll be the first to 325 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 1: raise my hand. It was complicated, just like Seattle probably 326 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: passing on Jalen Carter, even if they love Witherspoon like 327 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: that takes some balls, like he just you know, Jalen 328 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: Carter's gonna be good. You know he'd be good for 329 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: you to me. After week one and you had lost 330 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 1: whatever you had finished the season last year, ten straight losses. 331 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: You had lost this, you had not won a game 332 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: since October of twenty twenty two. And that video which 333 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 1: by the time it went viral to us with Chase 334 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: Claypool of him refusing to run routes, of him not blocking, 335 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: they had seen it. These coaches get in and grade 336 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: the tape, some grade the tape that night. They definitely 337 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 1: a lot of them get into like four or five 338 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: in the morning and grade the tape on game weeks. 339 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: They had seen it over and over again. By the 340 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: moment they see it, then their players are going to 341 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: see it and restarting. And I think culture and some 342 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: of that stuff can be overused, right, like, how do 343 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: we change the culture, how do we get the ship 344 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 1: headed in the right direction? A lot of that, And 345 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 1: I truly believe that this is not as much the 346 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: message from the coach. It's not the raw ross speech 347 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: from Mike Vrabele or John Harbaugh right, or even your 348 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: position coaches. It's the character of the players you have 349 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: right when you watch now that they're in the media, 350 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: like Julian Edelman or Gronk really get kind of nerdy 351 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,439 Speaker 1: talking football. You're like, God, these guys love football. No 352 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 1: wonder Tom loved these guys. No wonder these guys fit 353 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 1: in with mccordy and Slater in High Tower and that 354 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 1: group won the Super Bowls in the twenty tens. Or 355 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: you watch some of the guys that played with Peyton 356 00:18:53,280 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 1: Manning right talk, Robert Mathis, Dwight Freeney, Clark, Reggie, You're 357 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,959 Speaker 1: just like, God, it, I get it. I see it. 358 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,640 Speaker 1: The character and the culture starts from your players and 359 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: young players, just like young people were easily influenced, Right, 360 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: you get to a certain point in time when they're like, 361 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,959 Speaker 1: don't worry about what other people say. That's easy for 362 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: the fifty year old to say it. It's another thing 363 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: telling the twenty one year old that right. Hell, it's 364 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 1: taken me. I still struggle with it, and I'm a 365 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: couple of years away from forty now. I've gotten a 366 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,640 Speaker 1: lot better at it. I'm definitely better at it at 367 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: thirty eight than I was thirty. But it takes time 368 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,959 Speaker 1: and the players, and especially a team with a lot 369 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: of young, influential players. The moment Claypool did that to 370 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: not cut him is the most embarrassing thing any team 371 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: has done, right. Honestly, I thought the Raiders with the 372 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: Taylor Jones situations, like, what are you guys doing? He's 373 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 1: not playing for you, You're not allowing him to come? Just 374 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: remove him, right, And it took him getting arrested for 375 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: them to do it. It's like, why does it take 376 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: this long? These situations aren't that complicated. But when the 377 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: story on Sunday morning that they're trying to trade Chase 378 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: Claypool and he's not allowed to be with the team, 379 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 1: and then eber Flu said they let him choose, and 380 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: then it was reported actually they didn't let him choose. 381 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: He's not allowed to be with the team. He's still 382 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: not allowed to be with the team. He has no 383 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: trade value, like you traded for him and you gave 384 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: up a lot pick thirty two. It was a mistake. 385 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: Everyone makes mistakes. The Niners drafted Trey Lance, Howie Roseman 386 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: took Jalen Rager over Justin Jefferson. It's fucking football, it's hard. Whatever. 387 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 1: You made a mistake, it's a shitty mistake, but you 388 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: made it. Move on. Cut the bait, the milk is spilled. 389 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 1: Let it go. And for them not to cut him 390 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 1: on Monday or Tuesday going into Week two I think 391 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: is the most head scratching move of the season so far. 392 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: This team sucks. They have so many problems. And the 393 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: reason you keep losing in all these different fashions. Hell, 394 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: they just had a twenty eight to seven league. Stuff 395 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,199 Speaker 1: like that, And you can't convince me that stuff like 396 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: that doesn't matter, not with losing teams. And there's a 397 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: reason losing teams keep losing. Like I said, do I 398 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: think Ryan Poles is just some idiot. I don't he 399 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 1: was around Andy Reid, Brett Veach, John Dorsey. I think 400 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 1: he knows player personnel. Eber Flus I would I don't 401 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 1: know about that. I would say no, Poles made a mistake. 402 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: To not cut this guy the next day is just 403 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: it's a joke, it really is. And then to leak 404 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 1: out that they're trying to trade him. Who in their 405 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 1: right mind would trade for this player? Who won? Did that? 406 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 1: Week one and then two you've told not to come 407 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 1: around anymore. Your stock literally couldn't be any lower. If 408 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 1: it was like an actual stock, it'd be zero point zero. 409 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 1: It has no value, Like another team wouldn't trade you 410 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,360 Speaker 1: a box of Gatorades for that player. So just cut him. 411 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: Just do that. Why is it so difficult to do that. 412 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: I'll never understand it. But just a joke for the Bears. 413 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: Speaking of teams that are not a joke. I thought 414 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: i'd do this. I thought I'd go through a little 415 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: NFC power ranking slash just where we're at, because coming 416 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 1: into the season was like, oh, the AFC ten teams 417 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 1: could be like the three seat we got four teams 418 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: could be the one seed the conference is loaded in 419 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 1: the NFC, just a couple teams. Actually, I think it's 420 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: actually shaping out a little different because when you look 421 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 1: at the NFC, listen, I know the Eagles beat the 422 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: Niners in the NFC Championship when Perdy got hurt, But 423 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: I think if you're basing it's strictly on twenty twenty three, 424 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: the Niners have been played better than the Eagles, and 425 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: I think clearly those two teams in the NFC are 426 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: more talented than every other team. I would have it 427 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: Niners one to a Eagles one B. And clearly the 428 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: Niners have more cohesion given that their play caller offensively 429 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 1: is the same and he also is their head coach. 430 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 1: The Eagles have two new coordinators. I watched a lot 431 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: of that Washington game. They have clearly just looked off 432 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: like the nine Ers have had series where they've looked off, 433 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: but they have not looked off in games. Defensively, they 434 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 1: look as good as ever. I actually think this is 435 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,120 Speaker 1: their best defense of the Shanahan era, especially now adding Hardgrave, 436 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 1: and offensively they are dramatically better. Twofold One party is 437 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: way better than Jimmy Garoppolo ever was. If Jimmy Garoppolo 438 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: was just like your solid, you know, everyday quarterback that 439 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: you can win some games with if you have a 440 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: good operation. If your operations not like the Raiders, you'll lose. 441 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 1: He's just the middle of the road guy. Perty's better 442 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: in that. And that's why they're scoring the first time 443 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 1: in forty nine Ers history that they have had started 444 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: their first four games and scored thirty plus points in 445 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: each game. And Christian McCaffrey, who was damn good last year, 446 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: is just completely in his element in twenty twenty three. 447 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 1: Kyle knows how to use him. He's just an unstoppable force. 448 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: Now the Eagles have unlimited talent right offensively, even when 449 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: they're off, at any moment, and aj Brown could score 450 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: a fifty yard touchdown at any moment. God or DeVante 451 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: Smith can make a play at any moment. They can 452 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: run the ball down your throat at any moment. One 453 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: of their defensive linemen can get a sack. So I 454 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 1: take them, like I said, one A, one B just 455 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: depends how they're playing. Luckily for us, we get to 456 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: see these two teams play a little bit later in 457 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: the season. Now I would have on their own tier 458 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: in the NFC Dallas, because one thing's clear with the Cowboys, 459 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: when they get a lead on you and their defensive 460 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,159 Speaker 1: line can kind of pin their ears back. They actually 461 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 1: are built very similarly to the Jets. The difference is 462 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 1: they have an offense, so they get some leads, and 463 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: when they get leads, they fucking annihilate your quarterback and 464 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: they annihilate your offensive line. And clearly, even losing Diggs, 465 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're looking up, You're like, who's 466 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: this bland guy? Pick sixes? I mean, he's like high 467 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 1: stepping dan Quinn. I don't even know if he was 468 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 1: going to get a job last year, but keeping him. 469 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: He's definitely the highest paid defensive coordinator. Him and Fanji'll 470 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: probably make four or five million dollars to coordinate when 471 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: it's rolling and they get a lead is awesome, I think. 472 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 1: The only question and now we get to see it 473 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: this week. Niners Cowboys? Can the Cowboys And I talked 474 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: about this with Colin the other day win a game 475 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 1: because I know the Niners can. I know the Eagles can. 476 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: When you gotta gotta be gritty when you're down like 477 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: seven points at halftime, because it's happened once to the 478 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: Cowboys this year and they lost to the Arizona Cardinals. 479 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: All the other games they the Jets game was their 480 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: smallest halftime lead it was eight. Other two games were 481 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: like twenty plus points and they just boat race. You. Well, 482 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: the Niner game, if it's like ten to seven and 483 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: a half, can they grit out a win? Because if 484 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: they can prove that, then I'll take them more seriously. 485 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 1: But right now I view them much more. And this 486 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 1: sounds negative, but relative to those two teams more front runners, 487 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: I think they could grit out a team a win 488 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 1: against these other teams because to me, Detroit is clearly 489 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: the fourth best team. And I do think if the 490 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: gap between Dak and Jared Goff is not that wide 491 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,120 Speaker 1: and we'll see how the season plays out, I don't 492 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: know if it is, Like is the gap between the 493 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: Lions and the Cowboys that wide? Now? The Cowboys defensive 494 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: backs are better, I would take Dan Quinn over Glenn 495 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator. But I've been saying this from the offseason. 496 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 1: Detroit has players everywhere. They get Jamison Williams back this 497 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 1: week because Roger changed the gambling operation. So when you 498 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: look at the top four teams right now in the NFC, 499 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 1: it's pretty freaking good Niners, Eagles, Cowboys, Lions. Like that's 500 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: a real group. I mean, that's a real If that's 501 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 1: your final four, there is a ton of Pro bowlers, 502 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: all pro level guys and just high end NFL talent, 503 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 1: then I think you get this next group clearly. You 504 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 1: know the Giants are out in Seattle's in I mean Seattle. 505 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: Someone has to win the South, and I know Tampa 506 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 1: is currently three and one. I gotta wait and see 507 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 1: before I put them, Like, I would take Seattle every 508 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 1: day of the week over Tampa. And then we just 509 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 1: have a lot of teams. Obviously, someone's gonna win that division, 510 00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,080 Speaker 1: someone's gonna host that game, and more than likely, I 511 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: guess it could change. But if Dallas is your five seed, 512 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 1: a lot like last year, Dallas would be what a 513 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: seven to eight point favorite on the road. If they're 514 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: playing Tampa or even the Saints with Derek Carr, they 515 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 1: would be a massive favorite, and honestly it's hard to 516 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: not see them win that game. So yeah, the rest 517 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:23,239 Speaker 1: the Tampa's, even the Rams. You know that there are 518 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: some random teams, But to me, the top four in 519 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: the NFC is really good. And then I looked at 520 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: one thing today because we're a couple weeks away from 521 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: you know, would this team trade this guy? Would this 522 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: team thrower hatton the ring with Caleb Williams. Now, the 523 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 1: Bears don't really have anyone to trade, right and right 524 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 1: now they would have the number one pick and the 525 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: number two pick also belongs to them the Carolina Panthers, 526 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,360 Speaker 1: So they got a very very good chance of somehow 527 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: corralling the number one overall pick. And then it's by 528 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,679 Speaker 1: by fields, Hello, Caleb. Even Caleb's like, I'm not going 529 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 1: to play there, I just draft him anyway. Like that 530 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,679 Speaker 1: would be my tactic if I was a GM, if 531 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 1: his dad was like, we're not playing, there'd be like, 532 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: I'm still picking you. We'll see what happens here. Here's 533 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 1: a forty million dollar contract. Say no. But when you 534 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 1: look at a lot of the other teams in the mix, right, 535 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: like Denver, like, who do they really have to trade? 536 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 1: Last year they traded Brawley Chubb, Like they don't really 537 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 1: have star players to them to quote unquote blow it 538 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: up the Patriots. Hell, their best two players just got 539 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: injured today and they're not gonna trade Christian Gonzales. I 540 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 1: think the only team that currently looks like they're gonna 541 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,919 Speaker 1: really really suck this year is the Raiders, And I 542 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: really think you have to ask yourself, what the hell 543 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: are they doing? Where are they going? How is this 544 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: going to continue? How can they keep losing this many 545 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: games with this high end talent? And if all of 546 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: a sudden you look up and you're one in five, Like, 547 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: would you entertain trading Max Crosby if you could get 548 00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: if Jamal Adams went for two ones and a two, 549 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: you couldn't get two ones in a two for Max Crosby. 550 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: A young player under contract, turned his life around. I 551 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: think he's three years sober, awesome team captain, high character guy. 552 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: I saw Richard Sherman a social clip went out on 553 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: the volume set on his podcast, like he's just wasting 554 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: away there. I was reading a little about Devonte Adams contract. 555 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 1: It's a little harder to trade, but I think Crosby 556 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: and listen, Mark Davis is not gonna want to trade 557 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 1: Max Crosby, but like, what's the plan here? Just always suck? 558 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: Just you just moved to Vegas to just always be 559 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 1: awful it's hard to fathom. Just a couple of years 560 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 1: ago it felt like they had momentum, and now it 561 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: feels like they've taken three steps backwards. So I think 562 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: there are a couple more losses away, which, let's face it, 563 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 1: it's gonna be very They're gonna be hard pressed to 564 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 1: win games for them getting some calls with just some 565 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: massive offers from Max Crosby, and I'd be all over 566 00:29:54,200 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: the guy. Now. I wanted to do h Morgan and 567 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: Morgan here and my friends at Morgan and Morgan making 568 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: it look easy. And every single week there's a guy, 569 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: there's a coach, there's a player that made Sunday or 570 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: even Monday night look easy. And I think tonight there 571 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily a guy. Tyreek Hill and Mike McDaniel have 572 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 1: had that market corner the first couple of weeks. Khalil Mack, 573 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: I'll never forget when the Raiders drafted him, going to 574 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: a practice and seeing this guy's arms are enormous and 575 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 1: I had a buddy on the staff and OTA's ended. 576 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: Now the Raiders were terrible at the time. He's like, 577 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 1: he's not just our best player. We don't have anyone 578 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: in his world and within a couple of years he 579 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: was the defensive player of the Year. And let's face it, 580 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: Khalil got banged up. Just hadn't been the same players 581 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 1: last year in Chicago, last year with the Chargers, and 582 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: even this year with the Chargers, it wasn't looking good. 583 00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: I mean, part of them losing is like where is 584 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: Khalil Mack And then you look up yesterday and it's 585 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: sack after sack after force fumble, and the dust settles. 586 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: The Chargers get an enormous win. All of a sudden, 587 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 1: they're two and two, and you're like, God, the Chargers 588 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: could make the playoffs. Joey Bosa was missing. They needed 589 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,959 Speaker 1: that guy to make big plays, and big plays he 590 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: made and he actually kind of ribbed the Raiders. He's like, 591 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 1: you know, the old number four, him and Derek were buddies. 592 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 1: Wouldn't have held on the ball that long. The quarterback 593 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: made it kind of easy for us. But he had 594 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: six sacks, which only six other guys in the history 595 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 1: of the league have had in an NFL game. So listen, 596 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: I mean, he just needs five six other sacks. All 597 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you look up, Khalil Max has a 598 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 1: fourteen sacks season, So props to Khalil Mack for making 599 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: it look easy.

I believed you 616 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 1: know some I don't want to say I throw at 617 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: the wall, but you know part of this business is 618 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: making predictions trying to see the future. This one I believed, 619 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 1: and I've believed it for years because back when I 620 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: lived in the Bay Area, the number one conversation was 621 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,239 Speaker 1: Mac Jones was going to be a forty nine er, 622 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 1: and I stand by this. I still think that's the 623 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 1: craziest thought in the history of the league. It would 624 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: have been the worst draft picked in the history of 625 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 1: the NFL, not after the fact, but the least talented 626 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: guy to ever go third overall in the history of 627 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: the National Football League. Now he ended up going fifteenth, 628 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: which I still think is one of the great overdrafts 629 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: in the league. Ever, He's not very athletic, he doesn't 630 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 1: have a big arm, and now he's a terrible decision maker. 631 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: And my thought coming into the season is Mac Jones 632 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: was going to end the Belichick era. He was going 633 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 1: to ruin Bill Belichick's career in New England. And I 634 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 1: think that is now taking shape. Now. Listen, when I 635 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: was younger, I was lucky enough a good friend of 636 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 1: mine's grandparents, the guy my dad worked for, be around 637 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: some very very successful people that were in their seventies. 638 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 1: When things started to go the other way, and anyone 639 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: listening to this. That knows someone who's had success or 640 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: having success and things start going the other way in 641 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 1: their later parts of their life, they usually don't become 642 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,800 Speaker 1: more progressive and more open minded and more willing to change. 643 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 1: I would say the history of those type individuals in 644 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 1: men usually become grouchier, grumpier, more closed off, more stubborn, 645 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,359 Speaker 1: and it usually leads to problems. And I think you're 646 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 1: seeing that in Bill Belichick. When I think of some 647 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 1: of his other contemporaries, right older coaches. Obviously Pete Carroll 648 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 1: is in his seventies. You know Andy. I think Pete 649 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: Carroll and Andy immediately, what do both those guys have 650 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 1: that Bill just does not. They have two gms that 651 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 1: they lean on and swear by. Doesn't mean they don't 652 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: disagree with them sometimes, but they empower people to run 653 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 1: their personnel department. Ever since Casario left and even when 654 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: Nick was there, Bill's the boss builds a grand pooba. 655 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: I've been lucky. I have to know a lot of 656 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: scouts when I worked in the league and since that 657 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: have been in that building. He ain't listening to any 658 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 1: of them. Now, that's not abnormal. I'm not saying Kyle 659 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 1: Shanahan and Sean McVay listen to everything their scouts say, 660 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,839 Speaker 1: but he wasn't listening to his personnel people. It's why 661 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,839 Speaker 1: Belichick historically has had some weird drafts, but when they 662 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,799 Speaker 1: had Tom, they could always overcome it. Well, he got 663 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,399 Speaker 1: pretty desperate because once, however, the Jimmy g thing played out, 664 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 1: he was forced to get rid of him. He didn't 665 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 1: Tom stayed whatever. He did not have a backup plan. 666 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,759 Speaker 1: And which is the craziest thing to think about Bill 667 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 1: Belichick is during the Brady era, they always had contingencies, 668 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:37,759 Speaker 1: and then Brady leaves to Tampa and it was like, 669 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,399 Speaker 1: We're just gonna sign Cam Newton and then a year later, 670 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 1: we're just gonna draft McCorkle Jones. And now they are 671 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:48,240 Speaker 1: just kind of an average to below franchise. And usually 672 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 1: when these thing in think about one of Bill's greatest 673 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 1: strengths as an executive, because he was a GM coach 674 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,720 Speaker 1: was getting rid of guys early. He'd be like, well, 675 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 1: NFL cutthroat Belichick cut wrote, it's a business. Money doesn't 676 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: know emotion. Why wouldn't Craft and that family do it 677 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 1: to him? Because I've said this before and I'll say 678 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,840 Speaker 1: it again, like, Bill's just not gonna voluntarily look at 679 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,399 Speaker 1: the crafts and go, you know what, I've given you, guys, 680 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 1: close twenty five years, given you everything I have. It's 681 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 1: just not going that well. How about this, You just 682 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,880 Speaker 1: give me a couple of year salary and we'll just 683 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,359 Speaker 1: go our separate ways. Like I said, anyone who has 684 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:30,759 Speaker 1: been around successful, wealthy individuals in their seventies, when shit 685 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 1: hits the fan, they're usually not the easiest people to 686 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,680 Speaker 1: deal with. And we've all because he has such a 687 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 1: public job, followed Bill's career, his mannerisms, the way he interacts, 688 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 1: this is not gonna be a pretty breakup. But as 689 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 1: it's going right now, as they're headed recording this. On Monday, 690 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: they lost their two best defensive players. Their team was literally, listen, 691 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 1: if they're gonna compete to make a wild card, they're 692 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 1: gonna have to have a top five defense. They're gonna 693 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 1: have to not turn over the ball and just be 694 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,880 Speaker 1: perfectly coached. Up yesterday, I had forgotten about this just 695 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 1: because there was so much football going on. I'm at 696 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: the gym today. I look up at the TV and 697 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,319 Speaker 1: they show the highlight of the Cowboys running the two 698 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 1: point play, the field goal where they just toss it 699 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: to ninety ninety, he walks right in because clearly the 700 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 1: Cowboys know that Belichick brings that heat off the edge 701 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,399 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a walk in touchdown or two 702 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 1: point play. And it was like, that's what Belichick used 703 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,920 Speaker 1: to do to other people, and maybe it's just a 704 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,399 Speaker 1: Eventually you lose as many coaches as he has, because 705 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 1: a huge thing with Belichick for twenty years was starting 706 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,560 Speaker 1: guys twenty for twenties, they called him twenty hours a day, 707 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:47,239 Speaker 1: twenty thousand dollars pay from McDaniels to Patricia to Flores, 708 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 1: to all of his executive candidates. Adam Peters started this way, 709 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,799 Speaker 1: the Niners number two Casario, they all start this way. 710 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 1: What Scott Pioli did once upon a time, Thomas de 711 00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:03,760 Speaker 1: Metrov once upon time in Cleveland, and you know exactly 712 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,759 Speaker 1: what he's looking for. Well, since they've had so many 713 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:09,200 Speaker 1: people leave, those people don't really exist anymore. And now 714 00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,960 Speaker 1: you see a franchise that, let's face it is kind 715 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,400 Speaker 1: of lost at sea. Their quarterback situation is a joke. 716 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,360 Speaker 1: Their skill guys on offense, which he's always struggled to accumulate, 717 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,319 Speaker 1: especially a wide receiver, are not very good. Is now 718 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,799 Speaker 1: his defense that does have talent is injured. Let's just 719 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 1: call a spade a spade. They're fucked. And they play 720 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 1: the Saints this week at home. Then they go to 721 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 1: the Raiders, and then they got the Bills and then 722 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 1: at the Dolphins. If he goes one in three in 723 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 1: those games, it is possible he goes two and two. 724 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 1: But I think the way this team has been, I 725 00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: think they're three and eight in their last eleven games. 726 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 1: Let's say they go one and three, all of a sudden, 727 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,040 Speaker 1: they'd be two and six. What are they going to 728 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 1: do that? They are much more likely and I said 729 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,480 Speaker 1: this the other day, to be a five win team 730 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,319 Speaker 1: than a nine win team. The squad we're looking at 731 00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 1: and Belichick's greatest strength, like I say said, was being 732 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:05,000 Speaker 1: completely unemotional with football. He looked at players, obviously, he 733 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 1: had relationships with guys, and he cared about certain players. 734 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,279 Speaker 1: You know, he loved Slater, He in a weird way, 735 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 1: loved Brady. He loved some offensive lineman, but he was 736 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,280 Speaker 1: always willing to get rid of him or let him walk. 737 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 1: Why wouldn't the Crafts do the same to him. Now, 738 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,320 Speaker 1: this isn't just like firing like the Giants fired Gabe Kpler, 739 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 1: thank God, because the dude's a fraud and the phony. 740 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,399 Speaker 1: Clearly Belichick is not that. But it just feels time 741 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,440 Speaker 1: for a breakup, like it's over. And let's face it, 742 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: all things good, most good things come to an end. 743 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,879 Speaker 1: And think about you know, when I was a kid, 744 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,919 Speaker 1: it was like if you got a divorce, it was like, God, 745 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,520 Speaker 1: I bet you know she cheated on him? You know, 746 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,360 Speaker 1: is there some violence? Is there something? It was always 747 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 1: it was a very taboo thing to say when I 748 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,840 Speaker 1: was a really little kid. Now that I'm an adult, 749 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,799 Speaker 1: like half the country gets divorced. I know a ton 750 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,839 Speaker 1: of people to get divorced have cordial relationships, They share 751 00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 1: custody of kids, they like each other. It's just like 752 00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,640 Speaker 1: Ah didn't really get along. He just wasn't working out. 753 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 1: We're still friends, things are going. I'm not saying every 754 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 1: divorce is like that, and I don't even think this 755 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,000 Speaker 1: divorce would be like that, because Belichick isn't wired like that. 756 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,799 Speaker 1: But I think sometimes things just come to an end. 757 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,759 Speaker 1: And that's how it kind of feels like with Belichick 758 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 1: and the Patriots and the Craft family. If they win 759 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,680 Speaker 1: six games and he won seven, and then he won 760 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,920 Speaker 1: six and they're headed nowhere fast, I kind of expect 761 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 1: Belichick to not be the coach next season. Speaking of 762 00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 1: young coaches who look really good, I was thinking about 763 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,759 Speaker 1: this today that Vrabel is a good example, and I 764 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 1: think Demiko is the most recent. There's a big question 765 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,759 Speaker 1: with defensive coaches, right how do they interact and influence 766 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,000 Speaker 1: their quarterbacks? And most of them struggle at it. Right. 767 00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 1: They don't know offensive play calling. They are very dependent 768 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 1: on whoever they hire as the offensive coordinator. Their role 769 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:58,800 Speaker 1: for offense is really just motivation and support and helping 770 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,120 Speaker 1: with their confidence. But in terms of being able to 771 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,480 Speaker 1: dial up plays in the middle of the game, in 772 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,440 Speaker 1: terms of walking into the meeting room throughout the week 773 00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 1: and helping the quarterback and the offensive coordinator in the 774 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 1: quarterback game plan, like, that's just not happening. It's just 775 00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:16,520 Speaker 1: not But I do think there's a unique thing happening 776 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:18,880 Speaker 1: right now. It's happened for a while in Tennessee, and 777 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,279 Speaker 1: you're seeing it on full display this year. And so 778 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,279 Speaker 1: many of you guys are like, do not count out 779 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,759 Speaker 1: the Titans and You're right. Their coach is too freaking good. 780 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:31,319 Speaker 1: Mike Frabele could play with me, you and nine other 781 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,320 Speaker 1: guys and we could compete. Why Because the dude was 782 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,080 Speaker 1: born to coach. And when you think about it, he's 783 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,680 Speaker 1: not just your normal defensive guy. This dude was a 784 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:43,400 Speaker 1: team captain on Super Bowl teams. He's known as just 785 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,719 Speaker 1: like one of the higher level guys. And think he 786 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,000 Speaker 1: was best friend or best friends were on that team. 787 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:53,319 Speaker 1: Was the quarterback Dimiko Ryans what you're watching him do 788 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:58,400 Speaker 1: right now with the Texans, who their young quarterback looks fantastic. 789 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,400 Speaker 1: I mean, he's shattering records through four games. But to me, 790 00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:05,279 Speaker 1: just the eye test, how calm he is, how explosive 791 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 1: he is as a passer a couple dons yesterday avoiding 792 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:10,920 Speaker 1: the rush as a playmaker, which he showed in that 793 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,040 Speaker 1: playoff game against Georgia. CJ. Stroud looks really really good. 794 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,600 Speaker 1: I think one of the biggest redo takes I'd like 795 00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:19,839 Speaker 1: to have is I was all in on Bryce Young. 796 00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,799 Speaker 1: He looks tiny, like I just I don't see it. 797 00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,160 Speaker 1: And the other two guys, their talent is I mean, 798 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,640 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson's talent is immense and CJ. Stroud just looks 799 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,400 Speaker 1: like at minimum he's gonna be like Kirk Cousins or 800 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,840 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. But both those two coaches are good examples. 801 00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,719 Speaker 1: Demiko was like for eight years in the NFL. I 802 00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,759 Speaker 1: think it was a team captain his rookie season. He 803 00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,480 Speaker 1: was a second round pick. He was a team captain 804 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:47,279 Speaker 1: his rookie season for the Texans. Like these guys are 805 00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:51,400 Speaker 1: natural leaders and not from a coaching standpoint, Like literally 806 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,239 Speaker 1: you put him in the locker room when they were 807 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,759 Speaker 1: playing and everyone gravitates toward them. And when you have 808 00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,920 Speaker 1: that ability, I do think your connection with the quarterback 809 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 1: can be a little different. Despite being a defensive guy, 810 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:08,359 Speaker 1: a linebacker by trade, like ultimately Demiko and Vrabel, their 811 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:12,680 Speaker 1: job descriptions as players were to make tackles, not to throw, 812 00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,759 Speaker 1: not to score points. Right, it was a defensive mindset. 813 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 1: But to me, when you're a team captain, that means 814 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:21,480 Speaker 1: and I see it with the forty nine ers and 815 00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,239 Speaker 1: Fred Warner, like he's very close with brock Purty. He 816 00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:28,799 Speaker 1: was one of brock Perty's biggest you know defenders last 817 00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:30,919 Speaker 1: year when he first when he made the team, when 818 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,640 Speaker 1: he started, his biggest proponents as he just I mean, 819 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:36,880 Speaker 1: he hasn't really struggled, but just had his back from 820 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 1: day one. And I think there are certain guys that 821 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,960 Speaker 1: just get other people right. Some people just understand people right. 822 00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 1: Part of leadership. There's a difference of having the stones 823 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,080 Speaker 1: and the balls to make tough decisions and that's hard, 824 00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:54,080 Speaker 1: right Belichick trading Logan Mankins or trading Richard Seymour, trading 825 00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,360 Speaker 1: Chandler Jones, or making tough Bill Walsh did it forever 826 00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,640 Speaker 1: and he's done it. That's leadership hard. People are gonna 827 00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 1: look at your funny people are gonna ask you why 828 00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 1: you do it, why you did that, why you're doing this, 829 00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:07,000 Speaker 1: why you're not doing that? Like that's that's part of leadership. 830 00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,680 Speaker 1: Then there's a huge part of just having the ability 831 00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:13,640 Speaker 1: to connect with others right in a genuine way, and 832 00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,640 Speaker 1: Vrabel has that down as good as I would say 833 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,400 Speaker 1: any in the NFL. And to meet Demiko's a natural, 834 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,200 Speaker 1: Like you could tell Demiko Robert sala I think has 835 00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:26,080 Speaker 1: it too, and Robert Salom was a really really good 836 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:30,200 Speaker 1: head coaching candidate. I think Demiko is in a different unit. 837 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,080 Speaker 1: Like if you had the opportunity to hire the two guys. 838 00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,480 Speaker 1: And I'm not just judging casala struggles in New York. 839 00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,520 Speaker 1: I'm just saying Demiko's only coach four games. I watched 840 00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:39,799 Speaker 1: both of them very closely, been around them, been to 841 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,600 Speaker 1: their press conferences. To me, it's a no brainer, Demiko. 842 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:46,359 Speaker 1: So when you watch the Texans, who have a lot 843 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:50,400 Speaker 1: of ammunition right to improve their team, and really a 844 00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,239 Speaker 1: couple of years ago when they hired David Kelly, it 845 00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:56,000 Speaker 1: was so ugly and such a disaster, no one would 846 00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,759 Speaker 1: take that job. So they basically hired a guy to 847 00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:03,120 Speaker 1: fire the guy last year didn't quite understand, but ultimately 848 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:06,319 Speaker 1: who cares? It led them to Demico Ryans and now 849 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,120 Speaker 1: they got a quarterback. Pretty sure. They still have another 850 00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:12,200 Speaker 1: pick coming from Cleveland. Who you know? You saw it. 851 00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,080 Speaker 1: Deshaun's already banged up now, Miles Garrett's in a boot. 852 00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:16,839 Speaker 1: Now they're in a by so we'll see how their 853 00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,520 Speaker 1: injuries play out. But their next games against the forty 854 00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:23,920 Speaker 1: nine ers, I think the Texans got them some pretty 855 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,360 Speaker 1: special Now are they good enough to make the playoffs 856 00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:28,239 Speaker 1: this year? We still got a long way to go. 857 00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,000 Speaker 1: I would say you would kind of bet on the 858 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,560 Speaker 1: Titans just they're farther along in their development just be 859 00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:38,359 Speaker 1: scrappier when they played. Obviously, the Jags have kind of 860 00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:42,320 Speaker 1: got or can get their offense together, and in theory 861 00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:44,560 Speaker 1: should be more explosive from the Texans. But I don't 862 00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:46,480 Speaker 1: think you just count the Texans out, like is it 863 00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:50,080 Speaker 1: inconceivable they can win the division? We've seen crazier these 864 00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,560 Speaker 1: teams aren't good enough. The Jags aren't good enough clearly 865 00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,120 Speaker 1: to run away with it. The Titans just could lose 866 00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,640 Speaker 1: to anyone, just like they can beat anyone. So what 867 00:45:57,680 --> 00:45:59,560 Speaker 1: you're seeing out of the Texans is kind of what 868 00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:01,759 Speaker 1: you saw exactly out of the Titans forever with Ray 869 00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:03,439 Speaker 1: Bull is like, how are they doing this where they're 870 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,440 Speaker 1: doing it because their coach is a fucking stud. The 871 00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,239 Speaker 1: dude was born to lead a group of men in 872 00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,640 Speaker 1: football pads, whether he was literally in the pads with 873 00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:14,920 Speaker 1: them coming out of the tunnel, or he's in a 874 00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:16,880 Speaker 1: pair of joggers, a collar shirt and has a whistle 875 00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,239 Speaker 1: around his neck lead him out of the tunnel. And 876 00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,000 Speaker 1: that's what's cool about this sport. And we've seen a 877 00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,800 Speaker 1: lot more recently some of these guys go into coaching, 878 00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:29,719 Speaker 1: and I think the AFC South has two just defensive 879 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,600 Speaker 1: guys that are that are just in it to win 880 00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:36,640 Speaker 1: it for a long time. One thing I wanted to 881 00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:40,320 Speaker 1: hit on really quick was some stuff from college football 882 00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:45,240 Speaker 1: from the weekend. Watched a decent amount of college football, 883 00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:49,520 Speaker 1: and like most people, I've watched Colorado I think four 884 00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:51,120 Speaker 1: of their five games. The only game I missed was 885 00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:54,279 Speaker 1: a Colorado State game. But I was intently gonna watch 886 00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:57,439 Speaker 1: the USC game because my number one thought going into 887 00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:00,279 Speaker 1: that game was this is a big moment for Lincoln Hiley. 888 00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,880 Speaker 1: Kind of have a muscle flex, kind of to go, hey, guys, 889 00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,600 Speaker 1: you know it's clear I got a quarterback in an 890 00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:10,120 Speaker 1: offense I can score on anybody, but my defense. We 891 00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:11,920 Speaker 1: just saw Oregon do it. Now. I know that was 892 00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:15,120 Speaker 1: at home, but we're gonna shove these guys around. We're 893 00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:19,120 Speaker 1: a playoff contender, We're a national championship contender. We're tough. 894 00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,560 Speaker 1: I've said it forever, and the only reason I know 895 00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:25,719 Speaker 1: it because I've seen it up close and personal. You 896 00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:29,040 Speaker 1: can't fake being tough. When I was around, and anyone 897 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,680 Speaker 1: that played the Fresdent State teams, anyone that played for 898 00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:36,279 Speaker 1: Pat Hill, he's a tough guy, so he could. He 899 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,319 Speaker 1: knew what other tough guys look like. He knew when 900 00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:42,759 Speaker 1: he was recruiting what a tough guy was because that 901 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:47,440 Speaker 1: was him, former offensive lineman. He resonated with other tough guys. 902 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,560 Speaker 1: It's why he was friends with the Ozzie Newsom's, the 903 00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:54,920 Speaker 1: Bill Belichicks, the Andy Reids. They saw football from a 904 00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:59,480 Speaker 1: similar lens. You can't fake that. It's why my issue 905 00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:02,640 Speaker 1: with Chip Kelly is and this goes to Ryan Day two. 906 00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:06,120 Speaker 1: Who's taught from you? Who's learned from Chip Kelly? Is 907 00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:10,839 Speaker 1: like their mode and their thoughts and their you know, 908 00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:14,879 Speaker 1: philosophical beliefs on the sport are just different from true 909 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,520 Speaker 1: tough guys. Right, It doesn't mean they can't win. We've 910 00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:21,200 Speaker 1: seen Chip win a lot in his Oregon days. We've 911 00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,520 Speaker 1: seen Ryan Day win a lot. Now he benefits from 912 00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,000 Speaker 1: being in Ohio State. But I'm let's just call a 913 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:30,319 Speaker 1: spade to spade. The toughest guy in that conference is 914 00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 1: not Ryan Day. It's Jim Harbaugh. Why Because Jim Harbaugh 915 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,960 Speaker 1: doesn't have to fake it. He's just a tough SOB 916 00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:40,280 Speaker 1: and Ryan Day is just an offensive minded great mind, 917 00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,000 Speaker 1: can score points, can recruit that position. But when I 918 00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:46,160 Speaker 1: look at Ryan Day, do I think tough guy? Hell no, Listen, 919 00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:48,080 Speaker 1: I've always thought that guy was kind of a phony 920 00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,839 Speaker 1: and a fraud. But you can't dispute when you watch 921 00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,759 Speaker 1: Irban Myers team played, they could play in the parking lot, 922 00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:55,640 Speaker 1: or they could play in front of one hundred thousand people. 923 00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:58,480 Speaker 1: They're gonna hit you in the mouth, just like hardball's doing, 924 00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:02,360 Speaker 1: just like Saban did forever, just like Kirby did forever. Ultimately, 925 00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:06,000 Speaker 1: what Lincoln Riley is he comes from Mike Leach. I 926 00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:09,000 Speaker 1: love Mike Leach, rip one of my favorite coaches of 927 00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,440 Speaker 1: my entire life. But Mike Leach was a score points 928 00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,920 Speaker 1: play no defense. Now because Lincoln Riley's at Oklahoma and USC, 929 00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:20,640 Speaker 1: he's recruiting and transfer portaling and buying different level players 930 00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:24,279 Speaker 1: than you did at Texas Tech in Washington State. But 931 00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:26,719 Speaker 1: he thinks like Mike Leach, and when you watch his 932 00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,839 Speaker 1: team that they're just soft as puppy shit. I mean, 933 00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:33,080 Speaker 1: they are just a team that is not built to 934 00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:36,439 Speaker 1: win a national championship. And it starts with their head 935 00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:40,560 Speaker 1: coach because the way he views football through the lens 936 00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:46,200 Speaker 1: of his football mind is points is offensive players I 937 00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,880 Speaker 1: live through being in college and my cousin played at 938 00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:53,120 Speaker 1: Fresno State. When they played the peak of those USC teams. Well, 939 00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:56,960 Speaker 1: why were they built from such a physical standpoint? Because 940 00:49:57,080 --> 00:50:01,200 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll is at his core a d defensive minded guy. 941 00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:05,320 Speaker 1: So what does Pete Carroll like? Sweet guys on defense 942 00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,799 Speaker 1: that will knock you out in a run game. So 943 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,640 Speaker 1: USC what they hung their hat on was mal Lugas, 944 00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:16,120 Speaker 1: the Cushings, all the defensive linemen, the big DB's and 945 00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:19,160 Speaker 1: a powerful offensive line with a running game. When you 946 00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,799 Speaker 1: watch Lincoln like he wants to just sling it all 947 00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:25,399 Speaker 1: around the yard, which is fun and it's enjoyable, it's 948 00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:28,360 Speaker 1: not gonna win him a national championship. I don't think 949 00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:32,359 Speaker 1: there's any chance with his defense they can win the 950 00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:36,799 Speaker 1: Pac twelve. I thought this more and more every time 951 00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,280 Speaker 1: I watched them play. Their quarterback is very, very talented, 952 00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,439 Speaker 1: and more than likely he's gonna be the number one 953 00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:47,839 Speaker 1: overall pick, but like, he's not good enough. I had 954 00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:49,680 Speaker 1: a buddy last year that was at their bowl game. 955 00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:51,600 Speaker 1: I think they played Tulane. Remember they were like the 956 00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:56,840 Speaker 1: highest ranked non Power five team and they lost. Why 957 00:50:57,520 --> 00:50:59,719 Speaker 1: Caleb was incredible. I remember getting text from the buddy 958 00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:03,440 Speaker 1: was like, this guy's arm in person is outrageous. But 959 00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:06,160 Speaker 1: the problem is their defense couldn't stop a nosebleed. So 960 00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:10,600 Speaker 1: I watched USC. Fun team, but frauds because they play 961 00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,600 Speaker 1: no defense. And the only person to blame is the 962 00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,960 Speaker 1: head coach, because in college the head coach is also 963 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:21,239 Speaker 1: the GM and sets the tone for the operation. And 964 00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:22,959 Speaker 1: I watch USC and I just see a soft team. 965 00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:25,960 Speaker 1: That's not Caleb's fault. That's not the wide receivers fault. 966 00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,719 Speaker 1: It's the head coach's fault because it starts and ends 967 00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:31,120 Speaker 1: with defense if you want to win a national championship. 968 00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:36,560 Speaker 1: I think easily the most disappointing team so far of 969 00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,480 Speaker 1: college football has to be Brian Kelly and LSU. And 970 00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:42,600 Speaker 1: I was glued to that game. I was going furniture shopping. 971 00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:46,040 Speaker 1: I found a TV to watch it while Maria shopped 972 00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,279 Speaker 1: all around the store, and I watched about the first 973 00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:51,200 Speaker 1: half and we got home, got some in and out 974 00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:54,280 Speaker 1: watched second half. It was a fun game to watch, 975 00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:57,560 Speaker 1: but you don't pay a guy ninety million dollars and 976 00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,920 Speaker 1: ten million dollars a year at our. It's one thing 977 00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:03,319 Speaker 1: to lose to Florida State neutral site game. When they're 978 00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,400 Speaker 1: a national title contender, it's another thing. And they beat Alabama, 979 00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,080 Speaker 1: but like you can lose to Alabama, you can lose 980 00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:13,120 Speaker 1: to Georgia under no circumstances. Can he lose Mississippi? That 981 00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:15,799 Speaker 1: that that will not be tolerated with LSU. Now. I'm 982 00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:18,439 Speaker 1: not saying he's gonna get fired or whatever, but that's 983 00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,799 Speaker 1: the type loss. For as awesome as last year was, 984 00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:24,959 Speaker 1: right upset in Alabama getting to the SEC championship game, 985 00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,920 Speaker 1: it was a really good, good starting year after kind 986 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:33,040 Speaker 1: of the weird offseason of bungling the uh it's family, 987 00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:35,800 Speaker 1: you know, he can't even say it. Being three and 988 00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:38,799 Speaker 1: two is one thing. It's another thing to lose the 989 00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:43,080 Speaker 1: divisional game. You can't lose the lang Kiffin right because 990 00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:45,840 Speaker 1: everything Why wouldn't we just hire Lan Kiffin then? And 991 00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:48,160 Speaker 1: that's one of those things that it's hard to shake. 992 00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,360 Speaker 1: And I think it's much more difficult. Like one of 993 00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,080 Speaker 1: their great advantages always was, well, you're just gonna have 994 00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:57,239 Speaker 1: more talent in LSU. Well, in theory you will, but 995 00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,960 Speaker 1: that guy now can always transfer so at any more, 996 00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:03,480 Speaker 1: these guys can leave well before even if I inherited 997 00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:05,839 Speaker 1: a team that was struggling. I was gonna get guys 998 00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,560 Speaker 1: that might be struggling just because they're not playing well. 999 00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,200 Speaker 1: We're not getting coach right, the talent's gonna be there now, 1000 00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:14,640 Speaker 1: the influx people leaving it might be a little more 1001 00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:18,880 Speaker 1: difficult than even he planned right, And it's gonna be 1002 00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,000 Speaker 1: fascinating to watch because clearly this year they can't make 1003 00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:26,240 Speaker 1: the playoffs. But Man losed all miss and in that fashion, 1004 00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:29,160 Speaker 1: it's one thing to lose twenty four to twenty one, 1005 00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:33,160 Speaker 1: last second field goal. They're celebrating Eli Mannings oh three team. 1006 00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,759 Speaker 1: Patrick Willis's in the house is really big moment. I 1007 00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:39,040 Speaker 1: think they said on the broadcast, biggest crowd in the 1008 00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:43,480 Speaker 1: history of the program, like seventy thousand people. It's another 1009 00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:45,760 Speaker 1: thing to lose and give up like seventy eight points. 1010 00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:48,360 Speaker 1: I mean that they could not stop them. You're LSU. 1011 00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:52,880 Speaker 1: You're LSU. You should have NFL players at every level 1012 00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:56,879 Speaker 1: of your defense and multiple sweet pass rushers, awesome linebackers. 1013 00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,440 Speaker 1: I mean your school of elite dbs. When I think LSU, 1014 00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:02,400 Speaker 1: one of the first things I think about is defensive 1015 00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:05,920 Speaker 1: backs and you're just getting smoke like that so that's 1016 00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:08,640 Speaker 1: a really really bad loss. Another thing, sometimes, you know, 1017 00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:10,960 Speaker 1: if I'm having a cocktail or two, I'll fire off 1018 00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:13,239 Speaker 1: some tweets that I might regret. And I'm watching the 1019 00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:16,520 Speaker 1: Duke North Carolina game, or excuse me, the Duke Notre 1020 00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:19,360 Speaker 1: Dame game, and Riley Leonard's running around him like, this 1021 00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:23,080 Speaker 1: guy might be the third best quarterback in this draft, 1022 00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:25,840 Speaker 1: Caleb Drake May Riley Leonard. And then I started texting 1023 00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:29,040 Speaker 1: around just to you know, double check my work, and 1024 00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:31,399 Speaker 1: I got people like he's a really good prospect. He's huge, 1025 00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:33,719 Speaker 1: form of basketball player, really athletic, not a great arm, 1026 00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:36,640 Speaker 1: so his comp's probably more Daniel Jones. Now, Daniel Jones 1027 00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:40,040 Speaker 1: did go six, but he has a devastating injury at 1028 00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:43,000 Speaker 1: the end. That game was really fun. And Sam Hartman, 1029 00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:46,319 Speaker 1: who a couple buddies coming into this league, told me 1030 00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:48,719 Speaker 1: that they had like third day grades on him. And 1031 00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:51,120 Speaker 1: then clearly we've talked about this through the first couple 1032 00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:53,719 Speaker 1: of weeks. His stats were crazy, got humbled a little 1033 00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:56,080 Speaker 1: bit in the Ohio State game. He made some plays 1034 00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:59,279 Speaker 1: down the stretch. Now it's Duke. They're not you know, 1035 00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:02,960 Speaker 1: the coach k Duke football program. They're clearly a lot 1036 00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:05,360 Speaker 1: better that. They're a high level operation, probably an eight 1037 00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:07,799 Speaker 1: to nine win team. If their quarterback, I haven't seen 1038 00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,160 Speaker 1: the latest, maybe shattered his knee, but if he had 1039 00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:11,800 Speaker 1: been healthy, like, they're gonna win a lot of games. 1040 00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:15,600 Speaker 1: It was an impressive win. I thought Sam Hartman showed 1041 00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:18,920 Speaker 1: some grit, some toughness. He made a run to extend 1042 00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:22,120 Speaker 1: the game on like fourth and fifteen. Is he an 1043 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:25,080 Speaker 1: NFL starter? I was open to it through the first 1044 00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:28,000 Speaker 1: couple of games. Watching him a little closely, you know, 1045 00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:29,719 Speaker 1: he's probably more likely to be a backup, and he's 1046 00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:31,600 Speaker 1: probably more likely to be a fourth fifth round pick. 1047 00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:34,160 Speaker 1: Which there's nothing wrong with that, right, nothing wrong with 1048 00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:38,319 Speaker 1: that at all, but that that was a very very 1049 00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:41,799 Speaker 1: fun game to watch. Okay, one thing I want to 1050 00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:44,200 Speaker 1: dive in before we get out of here. It's time 1051 00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:49,200 Speaker 1: for this week's game. I thought might give almost almost 1052 00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,439 Speaker 1: anything to redo the game brought to you by Uber Eats. 1053 00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:54,759 Speaker 1: And here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna talk about 1054 00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:58,840 Speaker 1: a game that almost almost went in the way of 1055 00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:04,520 Speaker 1: the gamblers because there were multiple times this weekend where 1056 00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:08,799 Speaker 1: if you took the team with an enormous spread, you 1057 00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:13,200 Speaker 1: were feeling pretty good. The Kansas Chiefs were minus eight 1058 00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:16,920 Speaker 1: and a half and Patrick Mahomes was walking into the 1059 00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:19,200 Speaker 1: end zone at the end of the game, and it 1060 00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:20,560 Speaker 1: would have made it a ten point game and you 1061 00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:23,840 Speaker 1: would have covered easily. Who was taking the Jets plus 1062 00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,080 Speaker 1: eight and a half was Zach Wilson. So I didn't 1063 00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:27,960 Speaker 1: bet the game, but if I would have, I definitely 1064 00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:30,960 Speaker 1: would have taken Kansas City. And then Patrick Mahomes is running. 1065 00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:33,880 Speaker 1: He's gonna walk into the end zone. Here's the problem. 1066 00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:38,600 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is too well coached, He knows situational football 1067 00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:40,400 Speaker 1: too well, and he doesn't care about the line of 1068 00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:42,400 Speaker 1: he doesn't care about the gambling line. So he just 1069 00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:45,560 Speaker 1: hits the ground and the Jets cover. But to me, 1070 00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:48,839 Speaker 1: if you were almost almost and I would have if 1071 00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:51,680 Speaker 1: I bet this game, would have taken Arizona plus fourteen. 1072 00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:55,360 Speaker 1: The Niners were winning by three scores. Arizona has the 1073 00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:59,440 Speaker 1: ball with like under ten seconds left. Dobbs hit Zach Ertz, 1074 00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,320 Speaker 1: of the better receiving tight ends of the last decade. 1075 00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,640 Speaker 1: Right they're in, you know, probably the twenty yard line. 1076 00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:08,800 Speaker 1: Hit Ertz at like the five. He walks into the 1077 00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:12,720 Speaker 1: end zone. The problem the ball goes right through his hands. 1078 00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:16,720 Speaker 1: He drops the ball. Now they still got one more play. 1079 00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:20,440 Speaker 1: Dobbs drops back, hits a wide receiver in the corner 1080 00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:24,280 Speaker 1: of the end zone again into his hands, and the 1081 00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:27,400 Speaker 1: ball goes right through his hands. These are two of 1082 00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:30,600 Speaker 1: the worst gambling losses if you had the Chiefs or 1083 00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:33,760 Speaker 1: you had the Cardinals, I can ever remember, I mean 1084 00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:38,400 Speaker 1: literally walking touchdown, two other touchdowns, mahomes on the ground, 1085 00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:41,160 Speaker 1: two other balls on the ground. You cannot make it up. 1086 00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:44,240 Speaker 1: But it's why we love football. That's this week's almost 1087 00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:47,280 Speaker 1: almost Anything Game of the Week will go with the Cardinals, 1088 00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:51,920 Speaker 1: and you can order You're almost almost anything with Uber Eats, 1089 00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:57,360 Speaker 1: the official on demand partner of the NFL. Order. Now, okay, 1090 00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:00,760 Speaker 1: let's hit on a couple mailbag quiess because I wanted 1091 00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:02,400 Speaker 1: to get a couple in before we do the big 1092 00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:05,600 Speaker 1: mail bag come tomorrow. But I saw some questions, so 1093 00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:07,760 Speaker 1: I thought I would get to him. I know you 1094 00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,120 Speaker 1: love the Raiders, but if the Raiders had the first 1095 00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:13,440 Speaker 1: overall pick in the draft next year, do you keep 1096 00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:17,520 Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels around with Caleb coming to town. Mark Davis 1097 00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,960 Speaker 1: is notoriously cash poor, but with talent like Caleb that 1098 00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,640 Speaker 1: is a once in a generation opportunity. Do you think 1099 00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:26,800 Speaker 1: Mark would fire him and hire someone else. My personal 1100 00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:29,560 Speaker 1: hope is if we get the number one pick. Coach 1101 00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:35,800 Speaker 1: Harbaugh comes from Michigan. I talked about it earlier. I 1102 00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:38,520 Speaker 1: think the Raiders got a lot of problems. They are 1103 00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:42,760 Speaker 1: so far away. The only way to me, you don't 1104 00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:45,919 Speaker 1: sell some parts this offseason and just restart the whole 1105 00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:49,280 Speaker 1: thing is if you fire him and get hardball. But 1106 00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:52,960 Speaker 1: if you're gonna keep Josh McDaniels, you gotta think about 1107 00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:55,720 Speaker 1: just kind of trading everyone and starting over with Caleb 1108 00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:58,240 Speaker 1: Williams and having a bunch of draft picks right and 1109 00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:02,520 Speaker 1: just kind of resetting your franchise because having these players, 1110 00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:05,600 Speaker 1: you got Devontae Adams in his prime, Max Crosby and 1111 00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:09,720 Speaker 1: his prime, and you just lose constantly. I saw Sherman 1112 00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:14,960 Speaker 1: talked about it like what a waste. I wonder though, 1113 00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:17,680 Speaker 1: now playing in Vegas would be sweet if you're Caleb, 1114 00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:22,040 Speaker 1: But I mean he's already claimed like I'm not gonna 1115 00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:24,000 Speaker 1: go to a dysfunctional place, which I don't know how 1116 00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,880 Speaker 1: he can control that, given that all dysfunctional teams draft 1117 00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:30,680 Speaker 1: high it'll be very, very fascinating team like the Raiders, 1118 00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:33,440 Speaker 1: some of these crappy teams that draft number one overall. 1119 00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:37,600 Speaker 1: If him and his dad make a stink trying to 1120 00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:40,640 Speaker 1: settle debate with someboddies. If the Bears land the number 1121 00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:45,400 Speaker 1: one overall pick and decide to trade Fields, what does 1122 00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:50,000 Speaker 1: the compensation look like what they get in return, Well, 1123 00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:54,560 Speaker 1: based on the first three weeks wouldn't be much. When 1124 00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:57,480 Speaker 1: you're talking about trading play, this isn't fantasy football. You 1125 00:59:57,520 --> 01:00:00,440 Speaker 1: have to factor in their contract. This This is the 1126 01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:03,440 Speaker 1: third year for him of his career. He has a 1127 01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:07,080 Speaker 1: four year contract, so after this third year you can 1128 01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:10,439 Speaker 1: pick up his fifth year option. I think it's fair 1129 01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:13,080 Speaker 1: to say that would not be picked up. So if 1130 01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:16,360 Speaker 1: I'm trading for Fields, let's say he's not as shitty 1131 01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:18,439 Speaker 1: as he's been the first three games, but he doesn't 1132 01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:20,760 Speaker 1: get to play the Denver Broncos every week, but he 1133 01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:23,640 Speaker 1: looks much more capable. Maybe a team takes a flyer. 1134 01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:26,840 Speaker 1: He'd be in the last year of his contract, so 1135 01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:28,880 Speaker 1: you're just getting a one year deal with the guy 1136 01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:34,520 Speaker 1: I guess like a sixth round pick unless he keeps 1137 01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:37,200 Speaker 1: making plays like he did last week. Which I think 1138 01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:40,000 Speaker 1: is fair to say he won't. But if he were 1139 01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:44,439 Speaker 1: too and you keep losing, that round draft pick would 1140 01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:51,080 Speaker 1: go up. Is it possible Burrow's injury is worse than 1141 01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:54,000 Speaker 1: the Bengals are reporting? Would it violate any sort of 1142 01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:59,520 Speaker 1: league reporting policy? Well, to get the doctors to say 1143 01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:03,280 Speaker 1: he's ok to play. The severity of it can only 1144 01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:06,920 Speaker 1: be so bad, right, I think it's fair to assume 1145 01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:10,320 Speaker 1: it's definitely worse than the way they publicly talk about it. 1146 01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:14,240 Speaker 1: But I also think like they wouldn't send him out 1147 01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:18,360 Speaker 1: there if he was at risk to rip the calf, 1148 01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:22,640 Speaker 1: to rip an achilles, though you know they say that 1149 01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:26,640 Speaker 1: achilles and ACL injuries can sometimes happen when you're overcompensating. 1150 01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:29,479 Speaker 1: On the other leg, it happened to Dereck Rose Klay 1151 01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:32,000 Speaker 1: Thompson tore his achilles after tearing his ACL, and it 1152 01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:36,000 Speaker 1: was like overcompensating. So I don't think it can be 1153 01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:38,480 Speaker 1: that much worse. But they definitely are probably downplaying it 1154 01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:41,720 Speaker 1: because he clearly looks like a shell of himself. The 1155 01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:43,560 Speaker 1: Bears would have the number one and number two pick 1156 01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:46,480 Speaker 1: if the season ended today. I think they draft Williams 1157 01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:48,920 Speaker 1: and trade fields. Where do you think Fields would end 1158 01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:52,600 Speaker 1: up trading too. In that situation, it would have to 1159 01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:56,160 Speaker 1: be a team like Washington, Atlanta, or New England. It 1160 01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:58,760 Speaker 1: would be someone really, really shitty. I would say Atlanta. 1161 01:01:59,880 --> 01:02:01,920 Speaker 1: I haven't watched much of them because they don't deserve 1162 01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:06,960 Speaker 1: my eyes. They're that boring. They are so boring. They've 1163 01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:11,040 Speaker 1: drafted all these offensive players and they are still that boring. 1164 01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:15,960 Speaker 1: So I would say that Atlanta would definitely make some sense. 1165 01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:20,520 Speaker 1: Do you think that New England, being frustrated with mccorkil Jones, 1166 01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:23,840 Speaker 1: could go after Kirk Cousins. Belichick is just trying to 1167 01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:25,840 Speaker 1: win games to reach Shula, and he is horrible with 1168 01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:28,200 Speaker 1: first round picks anyway, Just unload two or three of 1169 01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:32,360 Speaker 1: them to get an above average functional quarterback. Well, Cousins 1170 01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:34,200 Speaker 1: is going to be a free agent, so I don't 1171 01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:36,400 Speaker 1: think he'd trade to get a guy that was going 1172 01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:38,800 Speaker 1: to be a free agent. I mean a lot would 1173 01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:42,760 Speaker 1: he take Cousins over Mack? Of course Cousin's a better player, 1174 01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:46,360 Speaker 1: but what is the compensation? Cousins trade is kind of 1175 01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:48,160 Speaker 1: complicated because he makes a lot of money and his 1176 01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:50,880 Speaker 1: contract is over, so I don't think his market is 1177 01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:54,560 Speaker 1: as big as someone with that production would normally be 1178 01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:58,600 Speaker 1: is Matt Stafford having a potential MVP candidate season. Favorites 1179 01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:02,240 Speaker 1: like Mahomes, bro Laura have all had slow starts, and 1180 01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:06,360 Speaker 1: once Cooper Cup comes back, the offense seems unstoppable. If 1181 01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:09,760 Speaker 1: Stafford stays healthy and maintains this level of play, continues 1182 01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:12,880 Speaker 1: to elevate the roster. We were all convinced they were 1183 01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:15,800 Speaker 1: gonna be Hert garbage. Just a thought. Well, to me, 1184 01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:18,720 Speaker 1: they'd have to probably it'd be difficult for him to 1185 01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:23,440 Speaker 1: win it. He's fighting an uphill battle. His numbers aren't 1186 01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:26,320 Speaker 1: aren't close enough. I mean, he's three touchdowns, five picks. 1187 01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:30,240 Speaker 1: He threw two interceptions against the Niners and the Bengals, 1188 01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:34,360 Speaker 1: he only threw the one touchdown. He is having a season, though, 1189 01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:37,440 Speaker 1: like a respect season, which I think is cool because 1190 01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:39,440 Speaker 1: everyone's like, oh, he's injured and I'm guilty of this. 1191 01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:41,800 Speaker 1: Oh they're gonna suck. Well I thought he was gonna 1192 01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:44,880 Speaker 1: be injured and suck because well, I thought he was 1193 01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:46,720 Speaker 1: gonna be injured and then they were gonna struggle because 1194 01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:50,120 Speaker 1: he wouldn't play. But he's like willing them to victories. 1195 01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:57,000 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean I would say no, he can't 1196 01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,640 Speaker 1: win the MVP. I mean, he's already too far behind 1197 01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:03,240 Speaker 1: and team's not gonna win enough games. But I think 1198 01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:05,640 Speaker 1: he could be like an NFC Pro bowler for sure. 1199 01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:08,360 Speaker 1: Highest point differential so far as the four games of 1200 01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:12,040 Speaker 1: the Bills. Furthermore, the Bills went through something horrible last 1201 01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,800 Speaker 1: year with Hamlin Josh Allen was playing with the UCL 1202 01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:18,600 Speaker 1: media just went off about them being overrated, defensive head coach, 1203 01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:21,959 Speaker 1: won't work week defense, Josh Allen isn't good enough, Burro 1204 01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:25,640 Speaker 1: Herbert Mahomes, etc. Then in Week one they get sideways. 1205 01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:28,960 Speaker 1: Do you think there is an FU mode this season 1206 01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:31,959 Speaker 1: due to the doubters? It would be fair to tell 1207 01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:34,480 Speaker 1: me to calm down because they have played the following 1208 01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:38,360 Speaker 1: quarterbacks Zach, Jimmy, G Howell and Tua, so it's not 1209 01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:41,840 Speaker 1: like they're shutting down monsters every week. I do think 1210 01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:44,320 Speaker 1: the last three weeks have been big muscle flexes for them, 1211 01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:47,400 Speaker 1: and we talked about it on Friday. He needed an 1212 01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:50,920 Speaker 1: FU game, Josh needed a game. The franchise needed a 1213 01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:54,560 Speaker 1: game like Miami. We said, the big kids table biz 1214 01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:57,040 Speaker 1: our division, and they had it. We beat you last 1215 01:04:57,080 --> 01:05:00,680 Speaker 1: year in the playoffs. We plan on going back and 1216 01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:04,000 Speaker 1: hosting a playoff game again and being the number one seed. 1217 01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:09,480 Speaker 1: So I just think the Bills are good. More about 1218 01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:12,760 Speaker 1: the FU and the doubters, I just think they have 1219 01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:16,840 Speaker 1: a quarterback who's you know, I mean, been flirting with 1220 01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:21,320 Speaker 1: MVP level stuff for a couple of years, flirting with superstardom. 1221 01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:23,760 Speaker 1: I mean, he's damn good. But this could be his 1222 01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:25,560 Speaker 1: year to be the MVP of the league, to lead 1223 01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:28,320 Speaker 1: his team to the number one overall seed. Sean mcdermot's 1224 01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:31,960 Speaker 1: running the defense now, so yeah, I think he might 1225 01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:34,720 Speaker 1: be onto something. I'd love to share a take with you. 1226 01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:36,680 Speaker 1: I know you can't respond to all of these, but 1227 01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:39,320 Speaker 1: maybe for the mailbag. Alabama native, I went to ole 1228 01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:42,800 Speaker 1: Miss fifteen through nineteen, saw US beat Alabama, and I've 1229 01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:46,160 Speaker 1: seen US lose Alabama in miserable fashion. I'm as anti 1230 01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:49,880 Speaker 1: Alabama football as it possibly gets, so I'm biased. No 1231 01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:52,920 Speaker 1: bsing that, but have the Panthers maybe made a devastating 1232 01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:56,360 Speaker 1: mistake with Bryce Young? Saturday during the broadcast, Klatt said 1233 01:05:56,400 --> 01:06:01,720 Speaker 1: he looks at five things for his quarterbacks. Great your mind, arm, talent, 1234 01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:05,760 Speaker 1: good in the pocket, use of legs, gotta be able 1235 01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:10,000 Speaker 1: to create most Alabama quarterbacks don't cover any of these 1236 01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:13,640 Speaker 1: beside one and two arm talent. In your mind, Bryce 1237 01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:17,880 Speaker 1: maybe covers traits one and three good to his mind, 1238 01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:21,520 Speaker 1: good in the pocket, and maybe a little bit being 1239 01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:24,280 Speaker 1: able to move and create. Way too early to tell, 1240 01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:27,000 Speaker 1: but as a former scout, I am curious your take here. 1241 01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:31,520 Speaker 1: Man continued message. This message is really really long. How 1242 01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:34,480 Speaker 1: the basically have the Panthers made a fatal mistake? I 1243 01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:36,680 Speaker 1: do think it's fair to say we can only go 1244 01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:40,520 Speaker 1: off the information we have. I mean, twelve years ago 1245 01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:43,880 Speaker 1: people would not have known out Amazon would be Amazon. 1246 01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:48,600 Speaker 1: Steve Jobs was once fired from Apple, so like things change. 1247 01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:54,040 Speaker 1: So I'm not writing Bryce Young's obituary now as an 1248 01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:58,520 Speaker 1: NFL legitimate starter, But as we see here today through 1249 01:06:58,520 --> 01:07:02,920 Speaker 1: four games, I do think it's pretty clear. And this 1250 01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:05,520 Speaker 1: is what I got into a little tweetstorm when I 1251 01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:07,880 Speaker 1: was drinking. Drinking would be strong. I mean, I had 1252 01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:11,760 Speaker 1: a couple sprit sees in a couple of beers. And 1253 01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:14,200 Speaker 1: Riley Leonard is a guy. If you look at his 1254 01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:17,960 Speaker 1: stats for Duke, they're not great, but physically he has 1255 01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:20,400 Speaker 1: a lot of skills. And when you get drafted in 1256 01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:23,080 Speaker 1: the NFL, because if you draft guys that don't have 1257 01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:27,120 Speaker 1: the physical skills, they might miss too. Look at Mac Jones, 1258 01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:29,440 Speaker 1: and if you draft the guys with the physical skills 1259 01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:33,280 Speaker 1: justin fields, they might miss. It's all the crapshoot. So 1260 01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:36,080 Speaker 1: just take the guy you like, whether he has a 1261 01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:38,920 Speaker 1: huge upside, whether he's take the guy you believe in. 1262 01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:43,200 Speaker 1: And every coach, every GM views it a little differently. 1263 01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:49,160 Speaker 1: But it is impossible to watch Anthony Richardson and definitely CJ. 1264 01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:52,520 Speaker 1: Stroud and go, god, I kind of see it. I 1265 01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:57,440 Speaker 1: can see how this works. I was someone I'm pro Alabama, 1266 01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:00,480 Speaker 1: not now I kind of find him now that they're 1267 01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:03,440 Speaker 1: falling off, But pre Bryce Young that run like I 1268 01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:06,720 Speaker 1: loved watching those teams play, and I thought Bryce was 1269 01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:10,400 Speaker 1: a much better player. Let's use for example, Mac Jones. 1270 01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,680 Speaker 1: But one thing Mac does have is Max just way bigger. 1271 01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:19,920 Speaker 1: And when you watch Bryce, he looks freaking tiny. He 1272 01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:22,479 Speaker 1: doesn't have a bazooka for an arm, and he's not 1273 01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:26,200 Speaker 1: a great athlete. When you go back to Bryce Young, 1274 01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:28,680 Speaker 1: the reason he did not run the forty at the 1275 01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:32,479 Speaker 1: combine is because he's slow, and you know what slow 1276 01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:34,799 Speaker 1: guys don't want to do. Run the forty, so everyone 1277 01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:37,640 Speaker 1: knows they're slow. Everyone knows he's slow. But if he 1278 01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:40,960 Speaker 1: never puts a time, you know, in everyone's database, he 1279 01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:42,760 Speaker 1: can be like, well, it could be four seven. He's 1280 01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:45,439 Speaker 1: not very fast, so he's not a great athlete. He's 1281 01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:49,720 Speaker 1: obviously tiny and his arm's solid. So I do think 1282 01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:52,880 Speaker 1: it's a little concerning where we sit today and go, God, 1283 01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:55,840 Speaker 1: if you'd like a redo, here's what I know. The 1284 01:08:55,840 --> 01:09:00,000 Speaker 1: Colts and the Texans one million percent would not trade 1285 01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:05,040 Speaker 1: their guy for Bryce today. That's a fact. And I 1286 01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:09,200 Speaker 1: think if you called Carolina obviously publicly, they'd never say anything. 1287 01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:12,599 Speaker 1: They would have discussions immediately and probably do some sort 1288 01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:16,679 Speaker 1: of deal. So things can change. This is very fluid. 1289 01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:19,080 Speaker 1: The way we talk about football is like the way 1290 01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:22,360 Speaker 1: we talk about stocks. Things go up and things go down. 1291 01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:27,120 Speaker 1: Guys improve, guys get worse. But as we sit today, 1292 01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:31,200 Speaker 1: it's a long winded way of saying, yeah, he's his 1293 01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:36,840 Speaker 1: deficiencies and the things he lacks really show up. Sometimes, 1294 01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:40,639 Speaker 1: you know, when you're dating someone early on, you don't 1295 01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:43,680 Speaker 1: learn some stuff about them that over time you do, 1296 01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:46,760 Speaker 1: and sometimes you're like, whatever, I like her so much 1297 01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:52,200 Speaker 1: or I like him, it doesn't matter but sometimes the deficiencies, 1298 01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:54,040 Speaker 1: like the moment you kind of get into a relationship, 1299 01:09:54,080 --> 01:09:57,920 Speaker 1: you're like, oh my god, this is crazy. This is 1300 01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:01,400 Speaker 1: not going to work. Same thing with right. You can 1301 01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:03,320 Speaker 1: love the guy, but the moment you get him into 1302 01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:06,240 Speaker 1: your jersey. It's why we hear all these former gms 1303 01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:08,240 Speaker 1: tell stories like we knew in training camp we had 1304 01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:11,280 Speaker 1: a problem. No, I don't think they think they have, 1305 01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:14,040 Speaker 1: like it's the end all be all, they're screwed here. 1306 01:10:15,240 --> 01:10:17,639 Speaker 1: But you can't convince me that there are some concern 1307 01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:20,639 Speaker 1: people in that building. I mean Frank former NFL quarterback. 1308 01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:22,280 Speaker 1: When he stands right next to him, he towers over 1309 01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:26,680 Speaker 1: the guy. So was everyone on the same page And 1310 01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:28,320 Speaker 1: it's like, well, this is what you said it six 1311 01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:31,280 Speaker 1: months ago. Yeah, shit changed, right, So if they loved him, 1312 01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:33,760 Speaker 1: things change and things change fast. Now you don't give 1313 01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:37,559 Speaker 1: up on him after four games. But it's definitely concerning. 1314 01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:40,400 Speaker 1: And to me, the number one thing for the concern 1315 01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:44,719 Speaker 1: is this, he just looks so tiny. He looks so small, 1316 01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:48,120 Speaker 1: and I clearly underestimated that. And I don't really like 1317 01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:50,519 Speaker 1: small guys. I don't like small guys. I don't like 1318 01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:54,679 Speaker 1: weak arm guys, which is basically me. I don't look 1319 01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:58,920 Speaker 1: for me. I want Josh Allen, but I like Bryce 1320 01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:01,720 Speaker 1: because I thought he wasn't excellent football player. Was a 1321 01:11:01,760 --> 01:11:03,760 Speaker 1: good example, just because you're an excellent football player if 1322 01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:08,759 Speaker 1: you can't see and you can't move, really, godspeed. Okay, 1323 01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:12,040 Speaker 1: see you guys soon, talk tomorrow. Audios, have a great day. 1324 01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:21,839 Speaker 1: See it the volume
