1
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: What is going on everybody? John Middletop three and Out podcast.

2
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: That is the show. It's about eight fift on a

3
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: Monday night. And I just watched oh and eight team

4
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: versus two and six team, and I'll be honest, I

5
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: had a pretty good time. Uh. Going into the game,

6
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: I was like, I I don't even care. I'll just

7
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: flip on golf channel, like I'm not gonna watch this thing.

8
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: And then the game starts going like, actually, it's not terrible.

9
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: Flacco is making some plays, Belichick is he's trying to tank.

10
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: We'll dive into my overall thought on the game. A

11
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: lot going on this on this show, Kyler Murray to

12
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: uh uh, the clear number one job opening this upcoming offseason,

13
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: the Colts disaster of a quarterback situation, the Saints and

14
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: Sean eight and Drew Brees. You just you can never

15
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: count out a Hall of Fame quarterback and a coach

16
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 1: that makes ten plus million with a Super Bowl ring.

17
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: That's that one thing is clear. And like always, the

18
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: Middlecoff mailback at John Middlecoff is the Instagram handle you

00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: It helps everything out. And I've been hyping it up.

27
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: It's I I can't even pretend to know if it's

28
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna move next week, the upcoming weeks, We'll just

29
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: keep rocking and rolling. I think it's gonna be soon.

30
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: But you know, I'm done guessing because I I clearly

31
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: don't know. Start with the Monday night football game and listen.

32
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: I'm the NBA ratings speak for themselves there in the tank.

33
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: I'm one of the rare guys of my friends in

34
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: their mid thirties that still watches a lot of basketball,

35
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: though I've never watched less basketball than I have like

36
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. And one fundamental problem that

37
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: sport has is tanking, and they've done things to the

38
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: lottery to try to improve it. But there's only so

39
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: much you can do because in basketball, one individual player

40
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: impacts your franchise so much, and at the end of

41
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: the day, like teams have no chance to win, and

42
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: it's pretty easy to manipulate the game. You start yankee players,

43
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: you hold guys minutes back like it's not even arguable.

44
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: Tanking became a massive, massive part of basketball and just

45
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: competitive balance, right because when you tank and you watch

46
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: a game, the first thing you think to yourself is

47
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: this a shitty product. It's happened several times in baseball.

48
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: The Cubs in the Astros got good by tanking. Definitely,

49
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: the Astros right by tanking years ago created this super

50
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: team that led to the team that banging the drums.

51
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: But the reason they got a bunch of sweet players

52
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: because they tanked. It's happening right now. You know the Tigers,

53
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: A lot a lot of teams do it and they

54
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: just try to bottom out, which in theory is fine

55
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: and it's a cool talking point with the media, right

56
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, there's the right thing to do. The

57
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: numbers say it. It sucks for the fans, and guess

58
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: who pays the bills in pro sports the fans, Because

59
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: the more people that watch, the more money for the

60
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: media rights, the more money for everyone, owners, players, right,

61
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: That's that's the way the business model works. And the

62
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: one thing football has and it's always had, is it

63
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: truly is impossible to tank. We have seen a couple

64
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: of teams the last couple of years, I guess the

65
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: last decade, right, that Lions team, the Browns team go winless.

66
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: We've seen one win teams to win teams. I think

67
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: the thing we all agree if it's happened to your team,

68
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: or if it's just your team, if you're like a

69
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: Steelers fan or even a Patriot fan, you've played these

70
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 1: teams over the years, the one thing you'd say it

71
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: is like, yeah, they just suck. It's not because they

72
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: weren't trying to win. And you saw tonight the Jets,

73
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: who couldn't be any worse. I think they're probably gonna

74
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: go on sixteen, are trying. They're ever loving butts off.

75
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: The effort they gave the night was fantastic. I've probably

76
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: watched way too many Jets games this year. That was

77
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: one of the better efforts I've seen all season long. Now,

78
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: part of it's Monday night football when you play in

79
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: primetime games. I'll never forget when I worked in the NFL.

80
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: We're playing the Bills at the time, and there they're

81
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: nowhere near what this Bills team was. I think it

82
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 1: was like a Ryan Fitzpatrick team. Remember, like Stevie Johnson

83
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: was on the team, but they weren't very good. And

84
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: I said something to David Culley, who was our wide

85
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: receiver coach with the Eagles and he was now the

86
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: quarterback coach for the Ravens, and I made a comment

87
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: like these guys suck, and he kind of stopped me

88
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: in my tracks and he basically gave me the riot

89
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: act of like, bro, this is the NFL. Like every

90
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: week you can you can lose if you're not careful.

91
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: Half the half the players on the other team live

92
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: in big gass houses and drive sweetascars. They got a lot.

93
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: They get paid big money too, And it's true. And

94
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: the thing you saw tonight, like everyone's making fun of Belichick,

95
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: like is he ahead of the see ahead of the curve?

96
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: Is he trying to tank? And I said that a

97
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago because of doing the NFL, Like

98
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: shouldn't Belichick lose on purpose of the Jets. He should,

99
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: but he can't. That's not the way football works. He

100
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: can't call a play and just expect the mccordy twins

101
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: to be like, oh, fuck it, I'm over it. I'm

102
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: just not even gonna cover this guy or put in

103
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: whoever at offensive line and be like, yeah, they just

104
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: won't block him. That is not the way it works

105
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: because in football, relative to basketball and baseball, there ain't

106
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: no scholarships, there aren't long term contracts. The majority of

107
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: the guys on the field for Monday Night Football in

108
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: that game are fighting for their professional careers. And the

109
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: thing in football is like you can get cut at

110
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: any moment. I saw it for two straight years. I

111
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: handed out the waiver wire to the coaches and the

112
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: general manager into the pro personnel department, and that thing

113
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: is packed with names every day basically three not just

114
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: during the season, but during the off season, during o

115
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: t as, during training camp. Guys are always getting cut.

116
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: That's not the way it works in the NBA. Once

117
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: you get a couple of your contract, that money is guaranteed.

118
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: I've seen it with baseball for years with the Giants.

119
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: They've signed so many terrible contracts. You just get stuck

120
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: with these guys. The majority of the guys in this

121
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: game could be cut tomorrow and they wouldn't even blink that.

122
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: The team wouldn't even flinch. Just the way it works.

123
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: It happens all the time, year round in the NFL,

124
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: and it's one of its greatest abilities. Then it could

125
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: take a game with easily the worst pass team in

126
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: right two decades. It's not even close. I mean, they're terrible.

127
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: They don't have much talent. Cam Newton isn't that good.

128
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: Their defense, the front seven awful. But they still got

129
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: Belichick and they still got Joshuy Daniels and Cam and

130
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: the mccordy. They're fighting their ass off. They're playing as

131
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: hard as they can. You watch the Jets. Some of

132
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: these guys I've never even heard of Flacco's making throwing

133
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: balls to Perryman and Mims, and Frank Gore's fifty years

134
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: old just you know, turned his legs trying to break

135
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: a tackle. They got guys on defense. Again, don't know

136
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: that many dudes on the Jets roster, But the effort

137
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: in that game was it was fantastic. Every single guy

138
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: in that game was playing like his job was on

139
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: the line. Because you know what it is, it's the

140
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: way the National Football League works. It's why I like,

141
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: we talk a lot of mess and crap about the Jets.

142
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: They do try, they just suck. The Patriots will probably

143
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: win five or six games. One thing is abundantly clear tonight.

144
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: Belichick ain't tapping out. He is not wired like that,

145
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: even though in the best interests of the franchise he

146
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: would have been better off lose tonight, because if he

147
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: would have lost to Night, I saw a tweet that

148
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: he would have been one game behind the Trevor Lawrence sweepstakes.

149
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: He's not thinking like that. You think Robert Craft, Jonathan Craft,

150
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: and John bon Jovi sitting up there thinking he's throwing

151
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: the game. And for as much as we talk about tanking,

152
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: just it's become a you know, I wouldn't even say

153
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: a trigger word. It's just become a defining attribute of

154
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: several weeks. It will never cross over into the NFL. Ever,

155
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: maybe Week seventeen you arrest some guys. But the middle

156
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: of the season, Week eight, Week nine, Monday Night Football,

157
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 1: both teams are really gonna try. And just you watch

158
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 1: that game, the Patriots are just gonna need to do

159
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: a complete reset. And I know Steve Young said tonight,

160
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: I think on Monday Night Football the pregame show that

161
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: if he was Trevor Lawrence, he would go back to

162
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: school because he'd refuse to go to the Jets. What

163
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: are his other options, Steve, would you rather go to

164
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 1: the Jags? Zero chance? Like? What other team would you

165
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: rather go do? The Jets are gonna fire their head coach.

166
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: They have a general manager that I think we all

167
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: leaked folks think very highly of. He's gonna go to

168
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: the New York market where he's gonna make a ton

169
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: of cash. Their team, I mean, they've basically bottomed out.

170
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: They do have a left tackle on the roster. They

171
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: just need to add some skill guys. It's got a

172
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: long way to go, but they are way worse franchises

173
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: you can play for in the New York Jets, right.

174
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: I don't even think it's close because I know this.

175
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: If the Jacksonville Jaguars got the number one pick, I

176
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 1: would refuse to go there. If I was Trevor Lawrence,

177
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: if the New York Jets and the number one pick,

178
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: I'd actually be excited. Number one market in America, they've

179
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: had success. I know they're on this bad stretch, but

180
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: a huge reason they're on the bad stretches. They've hired

181
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: two bad coaches. They've had two terror you know, Todd

182
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: Bowles just not a head coach and Adam Gates. Turns

183
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: out it's a joke, just that simple. And like, I

184
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: don't think the franchise for as much crap as the

185
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: Jets have gotten these last couple years, mainly because of Gaze.

186
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: Like last year they did go seven and nine. They

187
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: just need to add some pieces the division. I guess

188
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: the Bills and the and the Miami Dolphins and the

189
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 1: Patriots as long as Belichick will be there with a

190
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: couple off seasons, will be much improved. But that's football,

191
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 1: it's life. Trevor Lawrence is gonna be a New York

192
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: Jet and he's gonna make a ton of money. He's

193
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: gonna be the number one overall pick. They're gonna have

194
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: billboards there and they're gonna have the best quarterback in

195
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: New York the moment they draft them. When I was

196
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: a kid, I played a lot of video games. And

197
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: you know, if you were my age born in the eighties,

198
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 1: as you were growing up in the nineties to late

199
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: nineties and early two thousand's, video games really progressed you know,

200
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: I went from just regular Nintendo Duck Hunt all the

201
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: stupid games, the Super Nintendo Sega, right into PlayStation two,

202
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: right into the Xbox, and the the rate in which

203
00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: the technology improved for video game was exponential about the

204
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: mid nineties to the early two thousand's. I was going

205
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 1: to college. It took a dramatic, freaking drump. And sometimes

206
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: when I'm around you know, my family friends who have

207
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: kids in their early teens, or just any friends that

208
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: I have they're a little older than me that have

209
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: you know, kids probably between nine and like thirteen fourteen

210
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: that are really big into video games. You see the

211
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: technology and you go, oh my god. The PGA Tour games,

212
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: the FIFA games, the Madden games. It's it's incredible. I mean,

213
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: it is absolutely awesome. I understand. I don't play him anymore,

214
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: and I've been tempted a couple of times to get consoles,

215
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: but as someone that wasted way too much time doing

216
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: other nonsense, I don't need one of those in my life.

217
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: And I'd be the first to admit if I got

218
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: like Madden or you know, golf PGA Tour two thousand twenty,

219
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: I would I would play too much so I I

220
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: just removed myself from it. But when I see the graphics,

221
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: I go, God, I want one of those. And I

222
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: think it's just a natural progression, right with technology. I'm

223
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: looking at an iPad. I remember I think my sophomore

224
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: year in college buying an iPod and the thing was massive.

225
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: It was like the size of a water bottle and

226
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: you could put you know, however, many sixty four gigabytes

227
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 1: all your songs on and think about what it is now.

228
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: They pod disappeared, They don't exist. We have phones, phones

229
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: have everything. Like our phone is basically a computer in

230
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: our pocket. It's a natural progression and stuff. Now that's technology.

231
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: But I think the same thing with humans. Humans progress,

232
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: and in a sport like football. I was talking to

233
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: a high school coach this weekend. He actually won the

234
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: state is small school won the state championship for his

235
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: division in California in two thousand and eighteen, And he

236
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: was telling me he's been running the spread offense now

237
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: for twenty years, and a quarterback that doesn't have the

238
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: athletic ability, intelligence and accuracy does not have a chance

239
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: to play for And he's had a really really small

240
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: school and he's just like God, you just look around

241
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: at all these high schools, all the good ones. They

242
00:12:55,679 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: all have mobile and athletic quarterbacks. And I remember get

243
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: into Philadelphia and at the time Kevin Cobble was supposed

244
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: to be the starter. Obviously he got knocked out. And

245
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: then Michael Vick had that big season in two thousand

246
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: tenning where he was, you know, in the m v

247
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: P mix, and I'll never forgets as a guy that

248
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: was when he was in Virginia Tech. I was probably

249
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 1: like a sophomore in high school. And then I remember

250
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: being playing Madden and always picking the Falcons because he

251
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: was so much fun to play with, just a remarkable talent.

252
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: And when he got to the Eagles, I think he

253
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: was a more well rounded talent than he was with

254
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: the Falcons. But he had some fatal flaws. He wasn't

255
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: a natural accurate passer, and he really struggled against the Blitz,

256
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: not because he couldn't get away from the Blitz, just

257
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: because maybe you know the way he played in Virginia Tech,

258
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 1: what he went through in Atlanta, and he's even been

259
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: open he didn't study enough. And remember they gave him

260
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: the DVD and he never looked at it. And the

261
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: good thing about Mike is he's very candid about his

262
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: situation what led him, and I just think there was

263
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: some fundamental to some base in his game we're just

264
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: gonna be missing. But he was still so such an

265
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: athletic freaky it's such a great arm, and he had

266
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: such a big play potential. Do you clearly could win

267
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: with him? We made them we I think my first

268
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: year there we won the division and then he started

269
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: getting banged up and another fatal flaw. I couldn't he

270
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: couldn't slide for an athletic guy, and players have progressed, right,

271
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: We've seen a lot more athletic players like him in

272
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: the league these last four or five years, and they're

273
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: just a much more well rounded version of him. Lamar

274
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: Jackson is just much more accurate than Michael Vick was.

275
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: But I'm watching you know what the next Michael Vick is.

276
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: It's not Lamar Jackson, It's Kyler Murray. I didn't get

277
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: to watch the game on Sunday, so I threw it

278
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: up on my iPad and watched the condensed version, and

279
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: I'm just blown away by how good this guy is. Obviously,

280
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: I watched a lot of NFC West Football, and I've

281
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: seen him play a lot of football. But and listen,

282
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: I don't think the Miami Dolphins are like the Five Bears,

283
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: but if you've watched them this year, he's so fucking

284
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: good as stupid and he's so talented now is he is?

285
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: He's not as good as like Russell Wilson and Patrick Mahomes,

286
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: some of these guys. For a guy, there was a

287
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: one year starter in college that was gonna go play

288
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: pro baseball. And I talked about him three or four

289
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: weeks ago when they played the Cowboys on that Monday

290
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: night game and they showed up his high school. He

291
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: was forty two, and you know in Texas high school football,

292
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: and many people that grew up in around Texas all

293
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: d m me and said, he's the best high school

294
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: football player I've ever seen. Billy Bean drafted him in

295
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: the top ten of the Major League Baseball Draft. But

296
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: the thing when I watched him is the most remarkable.

297
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: He's clearly in an elad athlete. He has a big

298
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: time arm, he's pretty naturally accurate, and he sees a

299
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: lot of things that are coming his way. And then

300
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: clearly like Mike and even like Lamar. He can just

301
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: run away from a lot of defenders. But Kyler Murray

302
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: is the next Michael Vick. But he's this generation's modern

303
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: version because this year he's completion percentage. He's thrown some picks,

304
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: but you watch that game against the Dolphins, he had three,

305
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: he threw three touchdowns, he ran for another. It's not

306
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: his fault that the defense stinks. He is remarkable. And

307
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: I'm not the biggest Kingsbury guy, not because actually I

308
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: do like the human I remember seeing a documentary about

309
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: his dad being a Navy seal, and I think when

310
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: you see a guy that's good looking, you just you

311
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: just think. He parties a lot. I know people that

312
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: have been around him. He's up at like four or

313
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: five am every day. He's a grinder. I just sometimes

314
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: the offense a little soft for me. And sometimes when

315
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: you have a soft offense, that leads to a crappy defense.

316
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: And what are the Cardinals have. They have a crappy defense.

317
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: Part of it's a crappy defensive coordinator. But one thing

318
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: they don't have a problem with is their quarterback. The

319
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: guy's a star. The guy's a franchise quarterback. He's an

320
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: accurate Michael Vick, that's what you're looking at. And on

321
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: the other side in that game, I was critical to him. Small,

322
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: not great, you know, doesn't have great arm strength. But

323
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: the one thing you saw against the Cardinals who do,

324
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: like I said, have a Swiss cheese defense. I disagreed

325
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: with Coward when Baker Mayfield was coming out because I said,

326
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: this guy is gonna be Drew Brees. He's accurate, uh,

327
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: his arm strength good enough, his anticipation, everything was great.

328
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: And Colin pushed back, you know, the maturity and it's

329
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: been proven, like you know, Baker hasn't been the most

330
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: mature guy. And part of being Drew Brees. Drew Brees

331
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: is not that talented, right, He's six foot, can't run

332
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: blow average arm, especially now but forever. But his accuracy

333
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: and I've even seen quotes of Drew saying this, Drew

334
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: made it because upstairs, his mind, his work ethic, his

335
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: his determination is drive. The intangibles. Drew Brees intangibles are

336
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: a twenty out of ten. They're as good as it

337
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: gets in NFL history. I mean, they're Tom Brady in

338
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: my life, Brady Manning. Brees are just on a completely

339
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 1: different level than everyone else especially, but the difference, Like

340
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, Payton Mannic six ft

341
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: five was the number one picking the draft. Tom Brady

342
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: didn't go till the end of the draft, but he

343
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: went to Michigan. He's six four, He's got a big arm.

344
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: Drew Brees is tiny, doesn't have a great arm, like

345
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: I'm watching to h he's a much better athlete than

346
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: than Drew Brees. But maybe maybe I is just off.

347
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: It wasn't Baker Mayfield. It's more likely to be to. Uh. Now,

348
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: do I think two is gonna be Drew Brees? No?

349
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: But I do know this from knowing people at Alabama,

350
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: knowing the way Nick Saban talked about him. His intangibles

351
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: are off the charts. And then when you watch him play,

352
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: his anticipation, his timing, his rhythm with guys that aren't

353
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: even that good was really impressive. So this is why

354
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: you know, I gotta be careful sometimes you overreact to

355
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: a game or two. Uh. Clearly two was not as

356
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: talented as Justin Herbert. It's not even arguable. The data

357
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: is in. We've seen him both play like one guy

358
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: is much more physically gifted. Joe Burrow more physically gifted

359
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: than to uh, not by that much. Joe Burrow's got

360
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: a little bit of just kind of playmaker instincts in him.

361
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: But two has got some stuff to him, and I

362
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: think he has a chance to play good enough. Their

363
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: team is good enough, their defense good enough to get

364
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: them in position to uh to make the playoffs, which

365
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: is crazy. No one in their right mind when to

366
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: pick the Dolphins and make the playoffs. It also speaks

367
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: when you remember when Ryan Fitzpatrick was like, I can't

368
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: believe you know I I basically got fired. No, Ryan,

369
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: you got demoted, Your pay has not changed. You got

370
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 1: to motive for a reason, because this guy is better

371
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: than you. Tua is a much better player in Ryan Fitzpatrick.

372
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: And I've been saying the whole time, like they should

373
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: have done this earlier. Who knows. Maybe they're six and two,

374
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: but that's what's the point arguing over that water into

375
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: the bridge. He's a starter now the Dolphins. That Cardinal

376
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: game was just fantastic. I think sometimes when a team

377
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: and there's a great quarterback coming out, has the number

378
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 1: one overall pick in the draft, you say, that's the

379
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: best job by a mile on the market, right in

380
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: the pros, what makes a great job typically is cap space,

381
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: power and a quarterback. But what makes a great job

382
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: for a bad team is usually having a really high

383
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: pick to get a great quarterback. And I think most

384
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: people I'm recording this part before the Jets game. The

385
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: Jets are gonna have the number one overall pick. They're

386
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 1: the worst team in the league. They stink, and we

387
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: all go the Jet job is gonna be a great

388
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: job because they have the opportunity to get Trevor Lawrence.

389
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: And we said that once upon a time with the

390
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. And remember Ryan Griggson, Chuck Pogano, who have

391
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: been proven like Chuck mcgonnoll is never gonna be head

392
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: coach again, Ryan Grigson will never sniff being a general

393
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: manager again. But those guys had success because of Luck's greatness.

394
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: Carried the franchise right, carried the franchise to multiple playoff

395
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 1: uh Burston once the playoff games. He was just one

396
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: of the one of the truly great young players we've

397
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 1: ever seen in the league. It was remarkable what he did.

398
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 1: That's not normal. Usually that guy is not that good

399
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: that fast, even when you're really talented. The likelihood that

400
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, and I'm a Trevor Lawrence guy, is gonna

401
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: be as good as Andrew Luck Immediately, it's probably slim.

402
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: The nine now doesn't mean he's not gonna be a

403
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: pro Bowl level quarterback and be a really good player.

404
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 1: Probably gonna take him a little time, partly because the

405
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: Jets really so, I mean, they're gonna be bad for

406
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: a couple of years. The Jets are not the best

407
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: job on the open market now. Obviously Adam Gates is

408
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,719
Speaker 1: still there. The best job is the Chargers, who have

409
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn for at least the next eight games. Anthony

410
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: Lynn will be fired. If you watch the Charger Raider game,

411
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn was embarrassingly bad in that game with using

412
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: time outs the end of the game. It was a joke.

413
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: I mean it really was. But the one thing that

414
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: was not a joke and we keep learning every week

415
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: is a quarterback. Their quarterback is so talented it's stupid. Now,

416
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: could he work on a little bit of you know,

417
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: touch on some touch balls, like sometimes accuracy on the

418
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,479
Speaker 1: touch ball is not great. I can live with it.

419
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: He's working quarterback, like I I do think he can

420
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: develop that because His ability to push the ball downfield

421
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: make explosive plays is just extraordinary, It really is. I

422
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: mean you just you just watch a game of Justin

423
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 1: Herbert and you go, yeah, I'd want that guy. But

424
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: I know what that guy is. What's the saying you'd

425
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: rather have, you know, uh, a bird in the hand

426
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: and two in the bush or whatever. Could Trevor Lawrence

427
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: be better than Justin Herbert for sure? You know? And

428
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: forever we would have said, for sure, you'd rather have

429
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence and Justin Herbert. But I'm seeing Justin Herbert

430
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: do it weekend week out against NFL teams with a

431
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: terrible coach. I mean awful coach. Good guy, terrible coach.

432
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a running back coach. If they had

433
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: a good coach for the charge right now, if I

434
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: just gave him like Sean Payton, Kyle Shanahan, Mike Tomlin,

435
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: they would be in the playoffs one million percent because

436
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 1: they got blue chip players under contract. Keenan Allen one

437
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: of the best wide receivers in the league, Joey Bosa

438
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: one of the best defensive linemen in the league. Like,

439
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,719
Speaker 1: I don't know what else you can ask for. And

440
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: clearly they have other good players, I mean Melvin Ingram Hunter,

441
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: Henry Mike Williams. But they're gonna have the ability because

442
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a high pick because they're not winning

443
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 1: any games. And it's not justin Herbert's fault, just like

444
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 1: it wasn't Kyler Murray's fault. I love it when they

445
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 1: go like, you know, did they win or lose? And

446
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm a big believer that winning and losing is often

447
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: impacted by the quarterback, even though it's not quote unquote

448
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: a quarterback stat but it's been proven in the history

449
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: of football. You need good quarterbacks to win football games.

450
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: It's just a fact. In the NFL. Obviously, college and

451
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: high school is a little different. I'd say college is

452
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: becoming more like the NFL now. It's harder to win

453
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: games when you have a bad quarterback. It used to

454
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: be when I was growing up, you could just have

455
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 1: a stack team. And like Ken Dorsey, that's not the

456
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 1: case anymore. Look at all the best teams. Trevor Lawrence,

457
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: that DJ kid, they're sweet. How State justin Fields, they're sweet.

458
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 1: Alabama went from tuaa mac Jones, They're sweet. Cal Trash

459
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: for Florida's playing well. Slovis for USC like you need

460
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: a good quarterback play because offenses are more predicated out

461
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: on the quarterback position. But I don't even think it's

462
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: arguable that just in a vacuum, the Charger job is

463
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: much better than the Jets shop. Now there are questions like, uh,

464
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: what's his name? Joe Douglas a general managed for the Jets.

465
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: He's not going anywhere, so you are gonna have to

466
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: if you're taking that job, you're gonna have to work

467
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: with him. Now. I have friends, obviously they worked with

468
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: him with the Eagles, that worked with him with the Bears.

469
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,719
Speaker 1: The people that like him, like he's very highly thought of,

470
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: but like that's still an incumbent general manager. The Chargers

471
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: might just blow everyone out. Now the differences. The Jets

472
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: have a lot of money and they spend a lot

473
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 1: of money. The Chargers, while they have money, they don't

474
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: spend any money. And I think it's more likely that

475
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 1: they end up with like a Joe Brady, just because

476
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 1: in their nature they just tend to be cheap. That's

477
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: just who they are. But if they were to get aggressive,

478
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: I think coaches would be lined up for the Charger job.

479
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 1: They also have options like Mike Williams, for example, really

480
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 1: good player, but the one thing you're seeing with Justin

481
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: Herbert is like he makes some random guys look better.

482
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: Mike Williams is scheduled to make fifteen million dollars next

483
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: year on his fifth year option. Do you what I

484
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: do with Mike Williams. I trade him and I'd either

485
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 1: get an offensive lineman or get a good draft pick

486
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: and try to build around Keenan Allen, try to figure

487
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: out what I can keep Cunter Henry. They're proven that

488
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: they can just find random running backs. I'd invest in

489
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: my defense. I got Derwin James coming back, and the

490
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: team could be really really good next year. Talk about

491
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: a team that can go from like last to first.

492
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: It's almost called the San Diego Charge. It's the Chargers

493
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: if they got Can you imagine if they just had

494
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: a high end coach, if they could just find this,

495
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: You know, years McVeigh, because I think this year's good

496
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: coaches are gonna want that job. And the general manager situation,

497
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: we'll see. I know Tom Talsco would say, well I

498
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: drafted all these good players. Well, you're also the guy

499
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: that picked Anthony Lynn. So I you know, part of

500
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: being a head coach is more than just the draft,

501
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: Like you influenced the coach and Anthony Lynn has been

502
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: the coach. And it's at the end of the day,

503
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: it's just not good enough. But I do know who's

504
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: good enough, justin Herbert. Okay, let's uh, let's dive into

505
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: some thoughts on the Colts Ravens game. Let's start with

506
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: the Colts. Imagine if I took you to a house,

507
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: say fifty square feet, several rooms for your kids, a

508
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: man cave, a massive kitchen, a huge living room, uh,

509
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: big garage, driveway, big backyard pool. I mean, has everything

510
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 1: you need, just a just a bad, nice neighborhood in

511
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: the sweetest spot. I walked you around this house, You're like, damn,

512
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 1: this place is sweet, good price, not even over priced.

513
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: You'd be like, why is this what's going on here?

514
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: This house is awesome? And then I looked at you

515
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: and I said, well, it's got one problem. It has

516
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: no water. And you'd be like, well, we'll just get

517
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: the plumber right here or whatever, turn on turn on

518
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: the water, and be like, no, there's literally no access

519
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 1: to water in the house. It's like can't take a shower,

520
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: can use a sink, can't use a toilet, Like, well,

521
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 1: the house is kind of worthless. It wouldn't be functional,

522
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: like there's nothing you could do right, it would be

523
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 1: like what what are you talking about? Like, yeah, no water,

524
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 1: the worthless house. I'm watching the Colts going they got

525
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: everything you need. Look sweet? I mean of defense is

526
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: bad ass there. I had a coach tell me this

527
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 1: year that he thought that they were one of the

528
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: best front sevens he's seen in years. Their defense flies

529
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: around Buckner kills people. Their offensive line is awesome. They've

530
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: got some young skill guys. Their quarterback stinks there. If

531
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: they just had a middle of the road quarterback, they'd

532
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: win twelve games. Philip Rivers is awful, and I like

533
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. I respect Philip Rivers, but he can't play anymore.

534
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: Like it's over and to use my house analogy, having

535
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 1: a great team with a great quarterback, or excuse me,

536
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,479
Speaker 1: having a great like really talented team with a awful

537
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 1: quarterback is kind of worthless. You just watch him, you go,

538
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: how are they gonna win any important games? They cannot score,

539
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: they cannot move the ball. It's not because they're not blocking.

540
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 1: It's not because they don't have guys open. No, obviously,

541
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 1: John Taylor had a bad fumble. Their quarterback is terrible.

542
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: He shot it's over nothing but respect for the guy.

543
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: I loved watching him in his prime. That was like

544
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: five years ago. Like this Philip Rivers that we're watching

545
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: right now isn't even a backup quarterback. He's just not

546
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: a very good player. You cannot be good teams with

547
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: him playing quarterback. Like I said, like having all these

548
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: cool toys and cool elements of your squad is worthless.

549
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: I think they have a good coach. I think they

550
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: have a fantastic general manager. But the season is is

551
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: a wash for them. It's not gonna mean anything. It's

552
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: not gonna result in anything. And they're basically four playoffs

553
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: spots left for two teams, the Raiders, the Dolphins, the Colts,

554
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: and the Browns. I lean that it's gonna go to

555
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: the Raiders in the Dolphins. Like, I just think it's

556
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: gonna be really really hard for the Colts to make

557
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs with Philip Rivers because like having a house

558
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: without water, it's just it's not doesn't work. It just

559
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: don't see it, like it's not possible. He's too terrible.

560
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: It's sad. I'm not trying to be a dick to

561
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: him because I really I've been a huge fan and

562
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: I still am a huge fan. Like some guys just

563
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: aren't good enough. If Peyton Manning put on the pads

564
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: right now and attempt to play quarterback, we would laugh

565
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: at him. Instead we see him like doing games and

566
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: different things. We're like, oh, it's Peyton Manning. Same thing

567
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: we'd say about Philip Rivers. He shouldn't be playing football anymore.

568
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: I don't blame him. They gave him twenty five million

569
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: dollars the disaster signing, absolutely disaster signing, and it kind

570
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: of hit me in the last twenty four hours. To me,

571
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,479
Speaker 1: I understand they have a simple move. If I'm Chris Ballard,

572
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: I'm doing one thing. I am constantly calling Andrew Luck

573
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: and I'm begging him to come back and play football

574
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: for him. I don't care how many times he says no.

575
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: I'm flying to him. I'm sending him flowers. I'm doing

576
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: whatever it takes sending his white flowers. I'm trying to

577
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 1: convince him to play come back and play football because

578
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to have to trade first round pick

579
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: for Sam Donald or make some crazy move for a quarterback.

580
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: I have a quarterback. Remember Jim Mursay, continue to pay him.

581
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,479
Speaker 1: I want Andrew Luck to come back, and maybe he

582
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: can realize he would be the water in the house, boom,

583
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: the water. Beyond that you have a sweethouse. It would

584
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: be him, like you have the guy. And I understand

585
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: why he left rehab sucks. He had major injuries. He

586
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: was beating up. But if he just has clearly as

587
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: a brain and he's really smart. If he's watched any

588
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: of these games with the Colts, he has to be

589
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: saying to himself, now, this team would be freaking good

590
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: with me on it. We could dominate. We could win big.

591
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: If I told you next year Andrew Luck was the

592
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts, I'd be like they'd be

593
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: right there with the Chiefs and the Steelers competing to

594
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: win this. You know, the a f C, but with

595
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers like I don't even know if they're a

596
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: playoff team, which is crazy to say because their defense

597
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: is unreal. They have an awesome offensive line. I can't

598
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: score points. If you can't score points in two thousand twenty,

599
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: you got no shot. And on the flip side, like, listen,

600
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: I've said the same thing about the Ravens over and over.

601
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: They're gonna win their eleven twelve games. They're gonna be

602
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: the fifth seed in the f C. Their offense right

603
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: now isn't very good either. Their quarterback is not a

604
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: potent passer. He can't throw outside the numbers. Now, the

605
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: culture really good defense, but he barely got over two

606
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: hundred total yards against him. They're really talented, they have

607
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: a ton of good players. John Harbaugh is a really

608
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: good coach. Are they gonna win a playoff game? Now?

609
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: They'll probably play the Titans in the first round, So

610
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: I would say that is winnable because the Titans team

611
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: that played the Ravens last year I think was better

612
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: on defense. Because this Titans team on defense right now,

613
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: I think it was the worst third down team in

614
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: the league. Clowning now disappeared. He's heard again. Uh so

615
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: maybe they could win a playoff game this year. Now.

616
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: I think the Titans people would be like, well, well,

617
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: you beat him las year, why would they beat us?

618
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't we beat him again? Like, yeah, you're probably right,

619
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: but I think that's the Ravens are who they are. There.

620
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: An twelve win team did could easily be a one

621
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: and done again in the playoffs. There's nothing wrong with that.

622
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: But like, let's this rush to pay Lamar Jackson all

623
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: this money. Let's pump the brakes there. I would not

624
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: give him a contract since in this offseason he's only

625
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: in his third year in the league. I'd play out

626
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: next year to uh making prove that he can win

627
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: some playoff games before I give him any substantial amount

628
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: of money. Now, he's a fun player to watch, but man,

629
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: they are limited passing the ball. Nowhere near what the Rivers.

630
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: I mean, if they if they had Philip Rivers like

631
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: five years ago, the Colts would be They'd be competing

632
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: to win the a FC just because their defense is

633
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: so good, it's so physical. Their offense would be good enough,

634
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,719
Speaker 1: but the Rivers is not good enough. I'd say one

635
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: of the crazier outcomes of the weekend was Sunday Night

636
00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: football and the Saints at Tampa absolutely destroying him. I mean,

637
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: before you even blink, it was twenty eight nothing and

638
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: you know the it's Masters Week. I absolutely love the Masters.

639
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: I've already watched a ton of Master's content. It's not

640
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: even Tuesday yet, and I was watching this thing like

641
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: Golf TV or something. It just came into my Twitter timeline.

642
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: It was like a six minute, uh kind of breakdown

643
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: of Tiger talking about last year winning the Masters and

644
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: about on Sunday. He you know, at first he didn't

645
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: have his best stuff, but he just knew if he

646
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: hung in there, he could kind of outsmart people. And

647
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: then they got to the back nine, a couple of

648
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: dudes made mistakes, hid it into the water, and Tiger pounced.

649
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: And he's no longer like you know, twenty years ago,

650
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: Tiger was the most talented guy golf had ever seen. Physically,

651
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: that ain't the case anymore. Guy's bombed way by him.

652
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: He's old, bad back, bad knees, but he's still smarter

653
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: and mentally tougher than everyone else. And I think we

654
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: saw it, like I counted about. I actually had a bet, uh,

655
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: probably like seven eight years ago, when I was with

656
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: the Eagles with Lewis Riddick, that he'd never win another major,

657
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: and Louis was adamant, and I didn't think he was

658
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: that wrong. I just love Tigers so much I'm like,

659
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: bro win another one and it didn't look good there

660
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: for a long time. But the guy is just mentally

661
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: you have to kill him, I mean absolutely kill him,

662
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: and no one could. And he still won. He found

663
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: a way to win them to win the Masters. I

664
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: still think it's one of the most incredible accomplishments I've

665
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:36,240
Speaker 1: ever seen. I've talked a lot of shit about Drew Brees,

666
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: not as a human. I love Drew Brees. I think

667
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: he's one of the highest character guys of my lifetime

668
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 1: in the league. As a player in two thousand twenty,

669
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: I don't see it a little bit like Peyton Manning

670
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: towards the end, like his arm is nowhere near even

671
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: what it once was. Everything is Dincon Dunk. Well, guess

672
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,720
Speaker 1: what happens when they're fully healthy. They have a roster

673
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: loaded for Dincon dunk. Alvin Kamara the best hybrid Dincon

674
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,760
Speaker 1: dunk running back in the late Michael Thomas the best

675
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: over the middle, short and intermediate wide receiver in the NFL.

676
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,760
Speaker 1: He came back. Here's what else they have. Drew Brees

677
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: mentally is a tough s ob. He is going to

678
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, not because of physical gifts because

679
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: of determination, grit, and just I mean a refusal to

680
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: be anyone to put him in a box because way

681
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: back in the day when the charges got rid of

682
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: him and was like, oh, he can't play any more

683
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: shoulder shot, and then forever it's like he's too small,

684
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: he can't do it. And then now he like holds,

685
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: you know, a decent amount of passing records, He's won

686
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. He's been one of the best quarterbacks

687
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,399
Speaker 1: in the last decade in terms of statistically. He goes

688
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 1: to the playoffs every year and I kind of wrote

689
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: them off and watching that game, you can't write him

690
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 1: off when he has Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara with

691
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,919
Speaker 1: him and they added Emmanuel Sanders. Like, that team is good.

692
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: Here's the other curveball they have, especially against Tampa, they

693
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: have the better coach. Sean Payton is better than Bruce Arian,

694
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: and I like Bruce Arians. I'll take Sean Payton all

695
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: day long. Sean Payton makes probably eleven twelve million dollars

696
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 1: a year for a reason, he's elite. I know he's

697
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 1: had some moments in the playoffs, but the dude is

698
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: big time and you see it in that game. Like

699
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: their defense. Their fronts pretty good. Damaro Davis a really

700
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: good linebacker. If the Saints can get home field advantage

701
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: now I know they had it last year and kind

702
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: of shipped the bed against the Minnesota Vikings, But the

703
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:32,720
Speaker 1: NFC is wide open this year. Green Bay very flawed defense.

704
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: Seattle Buffalo. I don't I haven't as of recording this,

705
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: I haven't seen the game. I gotta watch that tomorrow.

706
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: But the one thing you know with Seattle, and I've

707
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: been saying it for a while, they just gave up

708
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 1: forty four points. Now Russell had probably the worst game

709
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: in a long time, four turnovers or whatever. Now he's

710
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: had two bad games. I guess this year Arizona in

711
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:55,320
Speaker 1: that game. But he's not their problem, right Their defense

712
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: is atrocious. Jamal Adams can't cover anybody. They have no

713
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: pass rush none. Tampa just watch him now. I don't

714
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 1: think I still think Tampa will be heard from. They

715
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: added Antonio Brown. I mean, he's one of the best

716
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,879
Speaker 1: wide receivers ever, They'll be fine. They have too many

717
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: offensive weapons. Their defense is too good, but it shows you,

718
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: like when the Saints come to play, they can beat

719
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: anyone in the league. If they're fully healthy on offense

720
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: and Michael Thomas isn't you know, getting suspended or whatever.

721
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 1: If Michael Thomas on the field and Alvin Kamara is

722
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: on the field with adding Alva h Emmanuel Sanders with

723
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: their defense just can play pretty well. They have a

724
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: chance to be really good. Why coaching quarterback league, they

725
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: have a Hall of Fame quarterback and a coach that

726
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a borderline hall of famer. Check his

727
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: record and who knows, maybe he wins another Super Bowl.

728
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,359
Speaker 1: All my friends in the league, assistant coaches think very,

729
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: very highly of Sean Payton. I know, these little nuts

730
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 1: a little arrogant, uh and I go back and forth

731
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: on being a big fan or whatever, but I do

732
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: respect him. I wouldn't want to play him. And he

733
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: took Bill he of Bruce Arians and Tom Brady to

734
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 1: the cleaners, to the absolute cleaners. Because the thing that

735
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 1: Tampa doesn't have that New Orleans has. Now Orleans has

736
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 1: a clean, clear identity. You know why they've been as

737
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: a unit now with the group of players they have

738
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,720
Speaker 1: for a long period of time, even like Michael Thomas

739
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: and Alvin they've been part of this group now for

740
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: four plus years, Drew In and uh Sean Payton probably

741
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: can finish each other senses. There is just a learning

742
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: curve that I'm pretty sure if you go back and

743
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 1: look at Joe Montana in Kansas City, he was better

744
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: the second year. Then they go to the NFC or

745
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: the an FC championship game his second year in Kansas City.

746
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: Now it's gonna be a little harder for Tom Brady

747
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: will be forty four years old next year. But like

748
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: you watch that game, and you know this the floor

749
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: for the Saints. When Drew Brees is just in in

750
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: one of his weird modes and not playing well, they

751
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 1: got no chance. But when they play like that and

752
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,479
Speaker 1: the offense is coming like that and the defense comes

753
00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:00,800
Speaker 1: to play, it's their Super Bowl contender. If I was

754
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: their owner, we better be paying our coach, you know,

755
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 1: ten nine figures or I guess eight figures. I'm not

756
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: a math major. You know, ten eleven million dollars and

757
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: one of the highest paid coach in the league. We've

758
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: paid Drew Drew Brees a ransom over the last decade,

759
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: and we still pay them a lot. We paid Michael Thomas,

760
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: paid Alvin Kamara. We got all these high price guys.

761
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: We better be competitive against any team in the league,

762
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: especially in our own conference, in our own division, and

763
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: you see they can be. And I think sometimes myself

764
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: included kind of right off the Saints last year, I

765
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: thought it was destined to be Saints Niners. It was destined,

766
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 1: and I thought it was gonna be hard because you

767
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: remember last year when they had that shootout. It took

768
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: a crazy game from Jimmy Garoppolo. George Kittle made this

769
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 1: crazy play to beat him, like forty eight to forty

770
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: six I think was the final score. That's what it

771
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: took from the Niners, and just incredible game from the

772
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: Niners to win that game, and I thought, you know,

773
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 1: if they get him again, obviously the game would have

774
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,879
Speaker 1: been Levi's. But it's still I thought the Saints were

775
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: Saints of the Niners were kind of like one A

776
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,959
Speaker 1: and one B, and you watch that's the Saints team

777
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,399
Speaker 1: that I recognize from last year, and if they play

778
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: like that, they are have a legitimate shot to win

779
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 1: the NFC. I just want to touch on this game

780
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 1: for a minute because I didn't watch it start to finish.

781
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:16,280
Speaker 1: I watched basically the first half went to a dinner

782
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: didn't have TV because you know, Corona times, you gotta

783
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: eat separate Kenny eat the bar. But by the time

784
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: I got back, I got to see overtime. But the

785
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: Clemson Notre Dame game, like that is That's the reason

786
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 1: college football is the number two entity when it comes

787
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: to life sporting events in America. That thing was big time.

788
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: That's NFL light. They're just NFL players all over the field.

789
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 1: I told you about DJ. The guy's a blue chipper

790
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: through for like four thirty yards. Notre Dame. I know

791
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly gets a hard time, and and Notre Dame's

792
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: kind of like the Midwest version of Stanford a little

793
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: bit right, Like the academic standards are really high. They

794
00:40:57,719 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 1: can kind of cut corners a little bit. But what

795
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 1: he's done there to have them consistently in the playoff

796
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: mix I can. I totally appreciate the way they operated

797
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 1: this year. They just said the CEC we're in now.

798
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 1: They are obviously already had a deal with the a

799
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 1: c C. I think Notre Dame fans will probably know

800
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: this better than me, But they were playing I never

801
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: it never dawned on me. I'm not super into like

802
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:23,280
Speaker 1: all the independence how they schedule, but they were clearly

803
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: playing a lot of a CEC teams every year for

804
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: the last several years. So they had this agreement with

805
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: them and they just jumped in the conference, which I commend.

806
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: That's awesome. You know, a lot of the Corona bros

807
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,399
Speaker 1: wanted everyone to just know football stop playing. Remember, there

808
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: was a lot of people were like the Pack twelve.

809
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: They waited long because they wanted to get the health

810
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: concerns right. Half the teams they haven't played games. We're

811
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: getting PAC twelve games canceled left and right. So I

812
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: said the moment, the SEC, the A c C, and

813
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: the Big twelve hat tipped to them because when ship,

814
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 1: when you're in chaos, you gotta put the pedal to

815
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,919
Speaker 1: the medal because at any moment it could stop. When

816
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: you delay delay delay, delay delay. I mean the pact

817
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: cow Bite played two games this season. B YU, for example,

818
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: is already played eight. The SEC like they're in game

819
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: five or six, and some of them get canceled some

820
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 1: of the stuff. You can't control this stuff. It's it's ma'am,

821
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 1: it's chaos. But I had nothing but respect for all

822
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: these conferences started from the jump nothing but respect for

823
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: Notre Dame said the a SEC we're in, we want in,

824
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 1: let's roll, let's play some ball. And I think I

825
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 1: saw like thirteen million people watched, so I just you know,

826
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: the only people that are really angry seemed to be

827
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Everyone else in reality on their couches watch it,

828
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 1: enjoy And I know this if I had to go

829
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: to dinner, so I missed it. The game was awesome.

830
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: It was absolutely spectacular. I mean, the level of talent

831
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 1: in that game was mind blowing. Even Dabbo said after

832
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,439
Speaker 1: the game, like I think the first thing he said

833
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: in his press conference is like what a game? What

834
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: a game? And just the NFL talent like that. That

835
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: is why the SEC is king Because when the big

836
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: SEC games happen, like when Alabama has played LSU last year,

837
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 1: when Florida will play alish you, or when Florida will

838
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: play h Alabama in the SEC championship game, it feels

839
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: like there's an NFL player at every position on both

840
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: sides of the ball for both teams. Fans aren't dumb.

841
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 1: We can tell, like it's pretty clear, like when Kyle

842
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 1: Pitts the tight end from Florida's making plays like, Oh,

843
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 1: that's an NFL guy. You watch the Ohuse State, You're like, Oh,

844
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 1: that's an NFL guy. Oh that's an NFL. NFL guy.

845
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: Oh that's a that's an NFL starter. Flipped on b

846
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,319
Speaker 1: y U. It's like, oh, Zach Wilson, he's an NFL guy.

847
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 1: Oh DJ Clemson DJ as all call him. I can't

848
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 1: say that guy is gonna play in the NFL. Like,

849
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 1: if you're watching enough football, you know what it looks like. No,

850
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 1: you don't, you might not be able to be like me, Like,

851
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:48,760
Speaker 1: that's probably a second round and that's probably a fourth rounder.

852
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: But it's you can tell. Notre Dame is enormous. Their

853
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 1: lines on offense and defense are massive, and we just

854
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: need more college football games like that. Man, that's uh,

855
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: that was fun. Okay, let's do a little middle cop

856
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 1: mail bag and uh, let's bang out some questions here.

857
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 1: Some of you, guys are some questions that are week old.

858
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:15,800
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna have to go back and manually answer

859
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: these questions. We'll start with let's start here, where do

860
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: you rank Brian Flores as a coach after beating the

861
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: Rams today? See I'm a little late on this one,

862
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: he beat the Rams and then obviously he just beat

863
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: the Who the hell just beat the Cardinals? What makes

864
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 1: him such a great head coach so far? He's obviously

865
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 1: loved by the players, but is he brilliant scheme wise

866
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: as well? Just a lifelong Fins fan that thinks Brian

867
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 1: Flores deserves much more love on the airways. One thing

868
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,439
Speaker 1: I've seen the last couple of days or a couple

869
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,399
Speaker 1: of weeks watching them is their front seven. I don't

870
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 1: really think they have many blue chip pass rushers. They

871
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: just create a lot of place. They're a great tackling team.

872
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,879
Speaker 1: Their level of like the place speed up front has

873
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: been fantastic. I know, just I was watching the game

874
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: on mute this morning, like on MyPad when I was

875
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: on the StairMaster. They did give up a lot of penalties.

876
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 1: I think Davier Howard get called for a bunch, but

877
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: they just are pretty mentally resilient. Obviously, the offense was

878
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: much more explosive this week with just toa uh I

879
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,800
Speaker 1: I just I mean when they came out to the

880
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 1: Niners and kicked their ass. The thing I've noticed is

881
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: they come into the game ready to roll. They don't

882
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 1: really come into the game and pussy foot their way around,

883
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: which I think sometimes coaches that are average, like they

884
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: you know, we hear a lot about the word quote

885
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:37,800
Speaker 1: unquote game plan. When I watched Brian Flores's team start,

886
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 1: they start fast, and specifically this year, but really what

887
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:45,760
Speaker 1: they're five and three. They finished the season three and five,

888
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: So in their last sixteen games, I mean they won

889
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,720
Speaker 1: three of their last five games, So in their last

890
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: twelve games, excuse me, they are what's eight I would

891
00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 1: be games? My mass terrible. They're eight and five. I

892
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 1: mean they've been They're just playing really well. They're winning

893
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 1: football games. And as a as a Miami Dolphins fan,

894
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,399
Speaker 1: the reality is forever you guys were just always kind

895
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: of average, just always five hundred and now it seems

896
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 1: like they win a game, they come out and play

897
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: well the next game. I mean, I don't see how

898
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 1: they don't get the minimum nine and seven. Wondering if

899
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:27,800
Speaker 1: you've been watching or looking at b y U football

900
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:29,839
Speaker 1: this year, what are your thoughts on Zack Wilson And

901
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 1: if they beat Boise State tonight, what do you think

902
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 1: could happen? They didn't just beat Boise State, they beat

903
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: their ass. Zach Wilson is a top ten player right now. Uh.

904
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: He's athletic, his arm strength is fantastic, his release is

905
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 1: really quick, his accuracy was awesome in that game. He

906
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: just looks like a big time player. When I watched,

907
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: and I watched the decent amount of that game on

908
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 1: Friday night, I saw a top ten player. So yeah,

909
00:46:54,920 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: just I think the buzz on him is huge. Um,

910
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:02,919
Speaker 1: he definitely. I don't want to say Joe Burrow because

911
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be the number one overall pick, but

912
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 1: he feels like that guy of this draft, kind of

913
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,359
Speaker 1: out of nowhere, and then you're watching him, You're like,

914
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 1: this guy is a stud. Now. The difference is Joe

915
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 1: Burrow won the national championship in the Heisman, this guy

916
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 1: probably being the Heisman mix UHS teams eight. No, they're

917
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 1: headed for one of the best seasons to b y

918
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: you in a long time. They're probably gonna play a

919
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: sweet team in a bowl game, Like maybe they play Florida,

920
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 1: the loser of Florida Alabama. Maybe they play like uh,

921
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,760
Speaker 1: you know in Oklahoma. Maybe they just get a pretty

922
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,399
Speaker 1: sweet opponent in the bowl game, which would be big

923
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: from him. I wanted to ask a couple of questions

924
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 1: about defense. What percent of a defensive performance is scheme

925
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 1: and what percent is talent? How many great players does

926
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 1: defense need to be great? As I imagine even if

927
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,399
Speaker 1: the best defenses in the NFL don't have eleven great players. Yeah,

928
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: that's true. I've been thinking about these questions this season,

929
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,839
Speaker 1: particularly with some teams like Bills and the Cowboys, who

930
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 1: are returning a lot of talents on defense but have

931
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: underperformed compared to expect ations. Of course, some of this

932
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 1: is due to injury, but I'm wondering how much scheme

933
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 1: and defensive talent. Well, to me, you can't really scheme

934
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:14,320
Speaker 1: a pass rush, so you need dudes up front. Now,

935
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 1: Ideally you want a Kleil Mack, you want a Nick

936
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,840
Speaker 1: or Joey Bosa, but you just need T. J. Watt.

937
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 1: J J. Watt. You need a blue chip guy in

938
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: your front four. Ideally borderline too. I'm a big believer

939
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:29,800
Speaker 1: that you need fast linebackers, because all the good defenses

940
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL this year have great middle linebacker play.

941
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 1: Devin White, Roquan Smith, Fred Warner, I mean, Bobby Wagner.

942
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 1: It's not his fault. They suck, But like to me,

943
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: if you're if you don't have a good medal linebacker,

944
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 1: your defense is not gonna be good. Devin Bush the

945
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:49,359
Speaker 1: Steelers two years ago traded up for Devon Bush. Secondary,

946
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:52,479
Speaker 1: I believe is actually a position and just a group

947
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 1: that you can kind of get by with. You need

948
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: safeties that can play the ball, and you just need

949
00:48:56,640 --> 00:49:00,040
Speaker 1: competitive corners. If I got a big time defense and

950
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,760
Speaker 1: I got competitive, smart corners who are willing to tackle,

951
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:06,800
Speaker 1: then it's on my defensive coordinator because mixing up the coverages,

952
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 1: which I don't pretend to be some coverage guy. I

953
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,240
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not a coverage guy at all. Uh.

954
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: But the best defensive coordinators can match coverages with what

955
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:18,439
Speaker 1: they've studied throughout the week and they know it's coming

956
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 1: and put their guys in the best positions. Mixing up

957
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 1: match mixing up like a match zone is a big thing.

958
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: When I was in the NFL, a lot of teams,

959
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 1: do I know, Nick Saban's big on that. Belichicks big

960
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:32,240
Speaker 1: on that because most teams don't just have Durrell reevas

961
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:34,839
Speaker 1: where you can just play man, so you gotta mix

962
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 1: up man coverage and zone coverage. But it's easier when

963
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,240
Speaker 1: you have smart players to play in zone coverage, especially

964
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 1: if they're willing to tackle. But the key is to

965
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 1: get a pass rush because you can get by with

966
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 1: you know, uh, average secondary in my opinion. Now, ideally

967
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: i'd have L. O. B. Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, but

968
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:56,399
Speaker 1: that's not the case most teams. Look at most teams,

969
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 1: I don't have good corners. But if you have a

970
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 1: decent safety, you'll be okay as long as your front

971
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 1: seven is really good. I always prefer to have a

972
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 1: better front seven than a back four because if my

973
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 1: front seven is big time, I could get after the

974
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:11,400
Speaker 1: quarterback and just scheme those guys in the back and

975
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 1: just have them play fundamentally sound exactly like what I

976
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 1: asked them to do. As long as you keep things

977
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 1: in front of you like you're not gonna get destroyed. Uh.

978
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 1: Let's say the forty Niners end up with a high

979
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 1: pick since the season is a gone or do they

980
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:29,439
Speaker 1: have any chance to move up and make a run

981
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: for one of the top three quarterbacks in the draft

982
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 1: or do you think going for Donald is more likely? Uh?

983
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: I that's a good question to me. It all depends

984
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 1: where they draft I would imagine they would trade up

985
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,760
Speaker 1: for a quarterback. Would you consider the Colts a deficient

986
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:47,959
Speaker 1: franchise taking into account they had back the suburb talent

987
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 1: of Manning and Luck and could only manage one Super

988
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: Bowl out of the equation. You know, like the Green

989
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 1: Bay Packers had Aaron Rodgers and Brett Farve and they've

990
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 1: won two Super Bowls in thirty years. So it's hard

991
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: to win super Bowls, right, I mean, how many guys

992
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:09,919
Speaker 1: win multiple Super Bowls? Brady Manning kinda. I mean, he's

993
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 1: got two super Bowls, but the second one he didn't

994
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 1: have much to do with Eli Roethlisberg. It's just really rare,

995
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 1: it really is. So I think it's easy to be like,

996
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:21,959
Speaker 1: you know, they should have won a ton. Most teams

997
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 1: don't win that many Super Bowls. I think the success

998
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 1: like Green Bay's have, the success Indianapolis had with those guys,

999
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: I don't think you can ask for that much more.

1000
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: Hear me out. Dallas sends Dak vander esh and their

1001
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 1: first this year, which would be pretty good because they'll

1002
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 1: probably be a top ten drafting team for the Jets.

1003
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 1: Number one, Why wouldn't the Jestice want Trevor Lawrence to me,

1004
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 1: I just want Trevor law Why would I want Dak

1005
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:51,319
Speaker 1: Prescott over Trevor Lawrence. I'll just take Trevor Lawrence. I've

1006
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 1: been watching football for a couple of years now and

1007
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 1: would like to get a deeper understanding of it. I

1008
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,319
Speaker 1: remember about a year ago you recommended a book to read,

1009
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 1: and I can't, for the life of me remember what

1010
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 1: it was. Could you possibly remember? Uh? There was a book,

1011
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 1: uh written on the Patriots dynasty. Not the Michael Holly

1012
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 1: one with Brady and Belichick, but a book of like

1013
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 1: the inner workings. I think it might have been the

1014
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:19,359
Speaker 1: Education of a coach, David Halberstamp, but I actually don't

1015
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 1: think that was it. There was a book I remember

1016
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 1: when Bill O'Brien got the Penn State job based on

1017
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 1: the Patriots that he made everyone read. I know Lewis

1018
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 1: Riddick had this Bill Walsh book that they only made

1019
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: so many copies that is like a manual on how

1020
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 1: to build the team. UM. I don't know exactly the

1021
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 1: book you're talking about, but there probably are some good ones.

1022
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:43,799
Speaker 1: Do you feel like the Washington football team regrets not

1023
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: taking Herbert in the draft or could they be confident

1024
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:48,799
Speaker 1: they could find one in the upcoming draft. I would

1025
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: say unless they find one very very quickly, they will

1026
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 1: regret that fast. Because if you told me it was

1027
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 1: like you could have for example, I was gonna say

1028
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, but would you rather have Patrick Mahomes or

1029
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 1: Leo Mcarey and Donald you just say Patrick Mahomes. And

1030
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:05,879
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Herbert's gonna be Patrick Mahomes, but if

1031
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 1: you watch Justin Herbert, He's gonna be, uh, several time

1032
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 1: Pro bowler. It would be the Charges would have to

1033
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 1: absolutely screw him up for him not to attend to

1034
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 1: make several Pro Bowls, so they might come to regret that.

1035
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 1: I know the trade deadline has passed, but as the

1036
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 1: Vikings fans frustrated with Kirk Cousins situation, I heard rumors

1037
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 1: of Kyle Shanahan and whining Kirk to be his quarterback.

1038
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 1: Do you think a three team trade where Kirk goes

1039
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:33,239
Speaker 1: to the Niners, Jimmy goes to the Patriots, and the

1040
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:35,960
Speaker 1: Vikings received Cam Newton would have ever been a good

1041
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 1: solution for all three organizations. I know Cam hasn't been

1042
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 1: playing well, but I think he could lead a mediocre

1043
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 1: team at a lower hit to the cap while management

1044
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: searches for a franchise guy. You guys spent so much

1045
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:50,800
Speaker 1: money on Kirk Cousins, They're just not gonna trade her. Cousins.

1046
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 1: They just gave him sixty more million dollars. The Vikings

1047
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 1: just aren't getting rid of them. And Kirk Cousins is

1048
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:59,280
Speaker 1: a better player than Cam Newton. As crazy as that sounds,

1049
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:03,279
Speaker 1: it's just true. Uh. Jimmy to the Patriots is very possible, though,

1050
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 1: but I I do not think that Cam Newton is

1051
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 1: gonna get traded one. He's a free He's on a

1052
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:11,400
Speaker 1: one year contract, so he's not unless the Patriots resigned

1053
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 1: him during the season, He's going to be a free agent.

1054
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 1: Appreciate everyone listening. Uh, thanks for all the d m

1055
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 1: s and I'll talk to you a little bit later

1056
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:21,359
Speaker 1: this week.
