1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: This is straight fire with Jason McIntyre. 2 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 2: What is up, drag fire fan, It's me Jason McIntyre, 3 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 2: Straight Flawyer for Monday, February the ninth, Ladies and gentlemen, 4 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,080 Speaker 2: the football season is over. Went out with a bit 5 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 2: of a whimper. Seahawks twenty nine, Patriots thirteen. The good 6 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 2: news is, and I did hear from many of you 7 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 2: on social media regarding this matter. Holy hell, did we 8 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 2: nail the Super Bowl? It was extremely profitable. And how 9 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 2: about this. I did enter a squares thing at like 10 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 2: a local bar with a buddy, didn't win anything. My 11 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 2: wife we go to a party and she wins first 12 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 2: half square and full game square. You know again, like 13 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 2: this is squares are our shots in the dark and 14 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 2: they're fun. But how about that? I mean, the McIntire 15 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 2: family just absolutely cleaning up with the Super Bowl. I 16 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 2: will say this, It was one of the more boring 17 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 2: super bowls I can remember. Twelve nothing after three quarters 18 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 2: and at that point, you remember I talked about this, 19 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,279 Speaker 2: I think there's a whirl where the Patriots don't even score, 20 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 2: and I'm like, I'm feeling so good at this point, like, 21 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 2: holy cow, could this actually happened, and then of course, 22 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 2: you know, bing bang boom, they get a score. And 23 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 2: for like a fleeting moment, maybe like a three minutes 24 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 2: in real time, it felt like, okay, if the Patriots 25 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 2: could make one more play and Sam Darnald vomits all 26 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 2: over himself, is there a whirl where this gets interesting? 27 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 2: And Darnald just refused to bend. He could have multiple times, 28 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 2: could have folded. He nearly threw one pick. I was 29 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 2: gonna say two, but that second one was more of 30 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: an off a receiver's hands and the defender couldn't get it. 31 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 2: But Darnald did what he had to, did just enough. 32 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 2: It was carried by Kenneth Walker, who was a revelation. 33 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 2: Remember I was saying, all these all the sharp betters 34 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 2: are going under on Kenneth Walker. The total was like 35 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 2: in the low seventy seven ishu he had at halftime. 36 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker had the second most rushing yards in Super 37 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 2: Bowl history at halftime. That's how good of a game 38 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 2: he had. I mean Walker, so I'm looking. The Patriots 39 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 2: had fifty one yards at the half, second fewest ever 40 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 2: last year. The Chiefs only had twenty three this year 41 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 2: at halftime Kenneth Walker, the MVP of the Super Bowl. 42 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,519 Speaker 2: One of us may have called that on Friday's heard. 43 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 2: I don't know. I possibly me Walker at halftime at 44 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 2: ninety four yards on fourteen carries. It was a lot 45 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 2: of the wide stuff. He was just faster than the Patriots. 46 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 2: And folks, this goes back to, like, again, it's easy 47 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 2: to get swept up when it's Super Bowl time, is 48 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 2: to like, oh, this team is doing this and this 49 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 2: team's doing that, and I just go back And I 50 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 2: did this last year too. The Philadelphia Eagles were the 51 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 2: better team for the full season. The Kansas City Chiefs 52 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 2: were lucky as hell. They won a billion one score games, 53 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 2: and as a result, I backed off and I said, 54 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 2: no way, there's no way the Chiefs were winning this 55 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 2: and the Eagles smashed them. And I looked at this 56 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 2: game and I said, folks, the New England Patriots have 57 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 2: played the weakest schedule this century. This isn't just me saying. 58 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 2: This isn't some hot take. Aaron Schatz from Former Football 59 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 2: Outsiders FTN. He came on the pod last week and 60 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 2: said that essentially their schedule was a joke. I looked 61 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 2: it up six rookie quarterbacks combined seven when you combine 62 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 2: rookie and second year quarterbacks Michael Pennox, they also played. 63 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 2: They went seven to zero. Of those games, they beat 64 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: a lot of bad teams. They beat Jarrett Stidham in 65 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 2: the conference championship, and it was very clear that this 66 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 2: is not a good team. And you know, we will 67 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 2: get into Drake May in a moment. There was a 68 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 2: point deep in the third quarter the Patriots had eight 69 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 2: punts and seven completions. Was a porder line, unwatchable. Let's 70 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,119 Speaker 2: be real, I'm not gonna do the commercials or bad 71 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 2: buddy yet. Well, once I run out of seam here 72 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 2: with patting myself on the back from the from the props, 73 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 2: we'll dive into that stuff. But overall this this was like, 74 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 2: you know, kind of this is back to back blowout 75 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 2: super bowls for the league. Obviously not ideal, I will say, 76 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 2: you know, the Sam Darnold story everybody loves. But overall, 77 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 2: like this was pretty much the blood bat that we envisioned. 78 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 2: The alt lines. If you guys took the ALT minus 79 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 2: fourteen and a half that hit the alt under was 80 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 2: looking great. And then of course whacky fourth quarter thirty points. 81 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 2: Blew that up. Ramandre Stevenson under told you there was 82 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 2: gonna be no running room for that guy. Unfortunately, our 83 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 2: guy Halani that those home run tickets did not hit. 84 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 2: DeMarcus Lawrence did not have a game. But the Patriots defense, 85 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 2: I'm counting six sacks here, Yeah, six sacks have made. 86 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 2: They just dominated this game. And I don't know that 87 00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 2: we're going into a new era in the league, but 88 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 2: if you look at the egos last year, defense to 89 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl run Seahawks. Once again, defense to the 90 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,559 Speaker 2: Super run quarterbacks, not the highest paid guy in the league. 91 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 2: And essentially, you can't go into the playoffs right now 92 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 2: in the NFL if you don't have a defense because 93 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 2: there's too many good defensive teams out there. And I mean, 94 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 2: this was a beatdown New England. Seventy nine yards rushing 95 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 2: May had thirty seven of those, and then through the air, 96 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 2: maccollins led them in receiving yards like really, the Hunter 97 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 2: Henry did not materialize. Stefan Diggs couldn't get unlocked. It 98 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 2: was just they had nothing. Booty had one catch on 99 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 2: five targets. And let's be real, and it's time. Drake 100 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 2: Bay was not good at all. Okay, he looked like 101 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 2: a second year quarterback, spraying the ball all over the 102 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 2: field behind receivers. The interception over the middle was just 103 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 2: I don't know what he saw. And then you know, 104 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 2: obviously he rolls out and is trying to chuck it deep, 105 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 2: gets drilled by Witherspoon, pops up, Nuosu catches and runs 106 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 2: it back and that was the nail on the coffin. 107 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 2: But Drake May was terrible, and obviously you'll be better. 108 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 2: I saw somebody put online that you know, uh oh, 109 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 2: it was Antonio Brown who did it. He put Tua 110 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 2: in a Patriots jersey and was hinting that like either 111 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 2: he was hinting that Drake May is like Tua or 112 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 2: the Patriots should go get Tua. And at the party 113 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 2: we were at, a buddy of mine was like, I 114 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 2: don't do the Patriots need to go find a quarterback. 115 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 2: I haven't seen it from Meg in the postseason. He 116 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 2: was awful in the Super Bowl. Now you could say, well, 117 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 2: this is a historically great defense. Nobody looks good against 118 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 2: him time out. Matt Stafford looks amazing against them twice. 119 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 2: Should have won both those games, just didn't break their way. 120 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 2: I thought Walker was a revelation. I did not think 121 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 2: he would get one hundred and thirty five yards. He 122 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 2: was a bell cow. Twenty seven carries, but again, two 123 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 2: weeks off. Don't have to worry about next week. You 124 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 2: can get him the twenty seven carries. That's actually a high. 125 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 2: Would I would ventured to guess, and I haven't looked 126 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 2: in Kenneth walker career. He is what is this year? 127 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 2: This was year four. I'm gonna go ahead and guess. 128 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 2: He's never had a twenty seven carry game. So this 129 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 2: season is high for carries in a game nineteen against 130 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 2: Arizona and then the playoffs nineteen against San fran nineteen 131 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 2: against the Rams. So didn't have one game with twenty carries. 132 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 2: Last year he had twenty carries and then he had 133 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 2: twenty five against the Rams, but no twenty seven yet. 134 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 2: Let's go back to twenty twenty three. He had a 135 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 2: twenty six carry game against Arizona. That's it. And in 136 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 2: his rookie year he definitely did not sniff. Oh, I'm 137 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 2: sorry he had twenty six. Oh, no way, are you 138 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 2: kidding me? In Kenneth Walker's final game of the season 139 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 2: against the Rams, he had twenty nine carries of his 140 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 2: rookie year. It had been a while. But you know 141 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 2: what else Kenneth Walker doesn't do. He doesn't fumble. Unbelievable 142 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 2: stat here the last three seeds since he's got over 143 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 2: six hundred and fifty carries, zero fumbles, and he's your MVP. 144 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker was really good man, Michigan State guy. He 145 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 2: had a great game. 146 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 147 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio 148 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: dot com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to 149 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: listen live JSN. 150 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 2: If you're wondering, oh, we haven't mentioned him. Eight minutes 151 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 2: into the podcast, JSN did nothing. Jackson's been to JIGBA leader. 152 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 2: I believe in yards he might win Offensive Player of 153 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 2: the Year. Four catches on ten targets for twenty seven yards. 154 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 2: He had a bit of an ankle thing and then 155 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 2: he had a concussion and at that point you're like, oh, 156 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 2: he got concussed, Well, he's not coming back, and that 157 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 2: was like part of the window for the Patriots, and 158 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 2: then you see JSN trop back on the field. Guys, 159 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 2: I cannot recall the last time a player left a 160 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 2: game to be checked for a concussion and then went 161 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,199 Speaker 2: back in the game. I'm sure it happened once or twice, 162 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 2: but I don't remember. Usually, if you get one of 163 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 2: those head knocks and you get checked for a concussion, 164 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 2: you're out and they sit you out. This being the 165 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 2: Super Bowl JSN return, I think he had one catch 166 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 2: after that. But they were led by Cooper Cup six 167 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 2: for sixty one, and it is interesting that they were 168 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 2: able to deliver offensively well within reason. Obviously the defense 169 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 2: carried him with the six sacs in the defensive touchdown, 170 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 2: but it is interesting to me that JSN four for 171 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 2: twenty seven and they were still able to have twenty 172 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 2: nine points on the scoreboard. Now, Jason Myers had a 173 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 2: strong case for MVP with five field goals, by the 174 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 2: way over four and a half field goals hits. Thank 175 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 2: you Jason Myers. And let's see what other aspects have 176 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 2: I written down here? Oh oh, the Drake May. Oh 177 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 2: let the record state and this is why it's silly 178 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 2: to box score watch. So if you look at Drake 179 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 2: May's final number, right, let's say you were so turned 180 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 2: off by Bad Bunny you didn't watch the second half. 181 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 2: You were like, screw football, because you're one of those 182 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 2: whack jobs. Drake May twenty seven to forty three for 183 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 2: two hundred ninety five yards, two touchdowns, two interceptions, So 184 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 2: on the surface a two hundred and ninety five yards, 185 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 2: you know that that's not bad, folks. Almost all of 186 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 2: it was garbage time. Drake May put up I believe, 187 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 2: two hundred yards passing in the fourth quarter, and most 188 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 2: of it was garbage time, trailing and chasing when it 189 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 2: mattered most during the game, he did absolutely nothing. I 190 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 2: don't I don't go in a next season concerned about him, 191 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 2: but I do think this postseason run has to scare 192 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 2: the daylights out of some people, right, I mean, he 193 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 2: was not and you guys tried to excuse it. Well, 194 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 2: not you guys, Patriots fans tried to excuse it in 195 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 2: the playoffs because they were like, oh, well, the weather 196 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 2: against the Texans, and then it was like, oh the 197 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 2: weather against the Broncos. Guys, we're just discounting the Chargers game, 198 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 2: his first playoff game, or the first half against the Texans, 199 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 2: or the first half against the Broncos, or the first 200 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 2: three quarters against the Sea. He just wasn't good and 201 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 2: when you live and die by the big play. That's 202 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 2: one of those you know what about the down to down. 203 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,559 Speaker 2: It's like the teams who live and die by the 204 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 2: three pointer. Right in the NBA, I'm gonna shoot fifty threes. Well, 205 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 2: you know on those off nights, you're gonna be in trouble. Well, 206 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,719 Speaker 2: when you're facing the Seattle defense that was relentless and 207 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 2: getting home with four, yeah, you're gonna be up against it. 208 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 2: And that was the problem for May. He couldn't hit 209 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 2: the bunnies, the layups. It looked like and I'm not 210 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 2: comparing him to Josh Allen, but him missing so badly 211 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 2: on so many short passes in the first half reminded 212 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 2: me of early Josh Allen. He just couldn't hit the 213 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 2: broad side of a barn. Obviously, that's fixable, and I'm 214 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 2: sure May's gonna be fine, but overall, like that was 215 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 2: a really rough postseason. Or Drake May. When you just 216 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 2: stack all his numbers and you look at the four games, 217 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 2: I don't want to say it's cause for concern, but 218 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 2: it's like, I mean, so we have the official stats 219 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 2: four games, fifty eight percent completions, six point nine yards 220 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 2: per attempt, which is not great. Six touchdowns, four picks, 221 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 2: he took twenty one sacks. Twenty one sacks in four 222 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 2: games is insane. And he oh, did he have a 223 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 2: fumble in this? He did have one. Yes, he had 224 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 2: a lost fumble in this, so that would be seven fumbles. 225 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 2: So listen, guys, I do think like you got to 226 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 2: get him some help with the offensive line, and you 227 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 2: probably need an a list wide receiver. As you saw 228 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 2: what JSN could do to Sam Donald so and Justin 229 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 2: Jefferson last year. You get an as wide receiver for 230 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 2: Donald for sorry for Drake May and I think maybe 231 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 2: some of these issues go away. And I guess at 232 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 2: this point I should pivot to Sam Donald. I give 233 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 2: him a major congratulations. I'm sure later today on the show, 234 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 2: Colin Cowhurt is going to be glazing Donald for hours. 235 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 2: That was his guy at a USC. You know, he 236 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 2: knows the family, and I'm happy for Donald obviously. How 237 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 2: could I not be, you know, drafted by the Jets, 238 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 2: didn't go well, picked six on his first career pass 239 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 2: right seeing ghosts in here two. It just wasn't good, man, 240 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 2: It was just not good. And you could say he 241 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 2: never had a chance whatever, and he's rebounded and now 242 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 2: he's a super Bowl champion and you can't take that 243 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 2: away from him. And he was he the MVP of 244 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 2: the game. No? Was he the MVP of the season. No, 245 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 2: but you don't have to be. You could call him 246 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 2: a game manager or whatever you want. Funny, funny thing. 247 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 2: I had a dream over the weekend. I was not 248 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 2: in San fran for the Super Bowl, but I had 249 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 2: a dream that for some reason, you know, Tom Brady 250 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 2: comes on the show, and Tom Brady comes up to 251 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 2: me to party J Mac, what up? And like my 252 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 2: I was kind of caught off guarding my third question 253 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 2: to him, after like how you doing? 254 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 1: Man? 255 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 2: Oh, what's going on? Ball? I was like, Tom, I 256 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 2: got to ask a question. Why is the phrase game 257 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:15,599 Speaker 2: manager looked upon with such disdain in the league? And 258 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 2: this question in my dream. Yes, I had a dream 259 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 2: about Tom Brady. It was because early in your career, Tom, 260 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 2: that's what they were calling you, and all you kept 261 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 2: doing was winning Super Bowls and all the big games. 262 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 2: And who cares if you were a game manager or not? 263 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 2: And why is game manager looked is so frowned upon? 264 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 2: Like Sam Darnald, by the way he only completed fifty 265 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 2: percent of his passes against against the Patriots in the 266 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 2: Super Bowl. Christian Gazalez was outstanding, largely shutting down JSN 267 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 2: and anything deep. But Darnald wasn't sharp. He wasn't great, 268 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 2: but you don't have to be. He didn't turn the 269 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 2: ball over Drake by two picks at a fumble lost. 270 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 2: If your opposing quarterback turns it over three times and 271 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 2: you turn it over zero times, I'm gonna guess you're 272 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 2: gonna win ninety five percent of those games. It's just 273 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 2: your turnovers are killers. And Darnold did not do that. Now, 274 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 2: he did during the season have some problems with turnovers. 275 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 2: I believe in the regular season he led all quarterbacks 276 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 2: where he was tied with fumbles and interceptions for I 277 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 2: think it was with two of Maybe now, some of 278 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 2: that was skewed because he had the four picks against 279 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 2: the Rams. Otherwise, he only had two multi interception games. 280 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 2: One was against the Rams late in the season, the 281 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 2: other was Week two against Pittsburgh on the road. And 282 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 2: if he doesn't turn the ball over, he does just 283 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 2: enough to get the dub and with that defense behind him, 284 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 2: my gosh, it's ferocious. I don't, however, think the Seahawks 285 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 2: go into next season as the favorites. I know you're 286 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 2: supposed to say, oh, Jay, come on, they gotta be 287 00:15:55,400 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 2: the favorites. But to me, this team has obviously they're 288 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 2: gonna be playing the first play schedule. They the book 289 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 2: is out. Now we know Donald right, like, hey, he's solid, 290 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 2: we get it. Like this is two seasons where he's 291 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 2: been above average quarterback. He just had a playoff run 292 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 2: to win the Super Bowl. Like, I don't. I think 293 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 2: the Sam Donald slander can stop at this point, so 294 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 2: he's not looked upon as like a negative. But they 295 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 2: are losing their offensive coordinator, Clint Kubiak. And I'm gonna 296 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 2: read off some of these free agents here, and they 297 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 2: got a bunch of guys who are free agents, Tarik Wolan, 298 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 2: I think they will gladly let walk. They're kind of 299 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 2: set in the secondary. Kobe Bryant the safety is pretty 300 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 2: damn good. Josh Job in the secondary. Okay, Kenneth Walker 301 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 2: is gonna get paid. Unrestricted free agent boy A Mafe 302 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 2: coming off the edge is good. Josh Jones right tackle. 303 00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 2: You need depth on the line. And Rashid Shahed receiver 304 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 2: who had an impact on the season, but I don't 305 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 2: know if he's going to demand top dollars. So we're 306 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 2: looking at three defensive starters as free agentsy but Darnold's 307 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 2: not getting the bag. He's got his contract. I mean, 308 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 2: I guess maybe he goes back to the negotiating table, 309 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 2: but I don't know either way. It's not like he's 310 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 2: getting fifty sixty million a year like some of these 311 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 2: top guys. 312 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 313 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports Radio 314 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: dot com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to 315 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: listen live. 316 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 2: So Seattle's actually an okay shape and free agency. I 317 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 2: think losing the offensive coordinator hurts significantly. Playing a first 318 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 2: place schedule obviously target on their backs, we get it. 319 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 2: I'd still as of now and again, things could change. 320 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 2: But like Rams didn't lose their OC, RAM didn't lose 321 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 2: their DC. I don't think Chris Shula went anywhere. I 322 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 2: could be huh, they won't play the first play schedule, 323 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 2: and I think they've got the better quarterback in Stafford 324 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 2: McDonald's a great coach. But I give the edge again 325 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,719 Speaker 2: to McVeigh and their games were all three were close, 326 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 2: So I don't know. I go into next season thinking 327 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 2: the Rams are the team to beat in the NFC. 328 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 2: I would say Seattle is pretty clearly second. Interestingly, well, 329 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 2: I want to make a case for San fran as three, 330 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,199 Speaker 2: but it might be the Bears. Honestly, it could be 331 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 2: the Bears. The Bears are going to be really good 332 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 2: next year. Caleb and Ben in year two, Caleb still 333 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 2: in as rookie deal. I think there's a case for 334 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 2: Packers as four or five. Once Micaeh Parsons returns, you know, 335 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 2: coaching staffs and coaching losses, We'll see what happens. I 336 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 2: think Eagles are going to be there obviously, Niners, those 337 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 2: are the cream of the crop. As for the Patriots, 338 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 2: I do think there was some smoke and mirrors here. 339 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 2: The good news for them is, besides Drake may on 340 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 2: the rookie deal, the Buffalo Bills are not as formidable 341 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 2: as they were, say three years ago. I don't think 342 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 2: the Chiefs are ready to come back yet. Baltimore has 343 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 2: a new regime. I don't know what that's gonna look 344 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 2: like with John Harbaugh out. I want to pick the Bengals, 345 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 2: but they always let me down because Zach Taylor is 346 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,719 Speaker 2: one of the worst coaches in the Among the contending teams, 347 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 2: I think the Texans are probably gonna be back. I 348 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 2: think they're pretty good. I think the Jags will be back, 349 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 2: But I think the team in the AFC that I'm 350 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 2: watching is the Chargers, with both their tackles back and 351 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel's your offensive coordinator. The Super Bowl is in 352 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 2: LA next year. I'm already excited and I would not 353 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 2: be shocked by a Rams Chargers Super Bowl. I know 354 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 2: that sounds very LA of me, but I'm just telling 355 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,239 Speaker 2: you this Chargers team is close to breaking through. I 356 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 2: know Herbert's owen three in the playoffs, don't really care 357 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 2: about that. They are in really good shape roster wise, 358 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 2: and I think the McDaniel move is just massive. So 359 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 2: NFL season ends with a bang back to back Super Bowl. 360 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 2: As your boy crushed it. I wish I could have 361 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 2: crushed it in the wildcard round or the division round. 362 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 2: Unfortunately did not happen, but we move on. This will 363 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:24,959 Speaker 2: become a college basketball gambling NFL podcast here for February. 364 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 2: I usually take a week vacation after the Super Bowl, 365 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 2: well usually two weeks after. It can't happen this year. 366 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 2: Cowhard beat me to it. So I will be working 367 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 2: and it'll be days off here and there, but I'll 368 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 2: be diving in fully to college basketball. I know some 369 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 2: of you that's not your bag. Just telling you this 370 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 2: is a great fricking year in college basketball. If you 371 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 2: watched any Saturday, Holy hell, Duke UNC was amazing, Tennessee 372 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 2: Kentucky was good, Michigan State Illinois was tremendous. I mean, 373 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 2: there's so much good in basketball. And tonight, in what 374 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 2: should be an amazing game, Arizona at Kansas in a 375 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 2: whopper of a game. Undefeated twenty three in ol Arizona 376 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 2: against Kansas, which is playing some good basketball of late. 377 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 2: Darren Peterson appears healthy. Arizona is favored going into fog Allen. 378 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 2: It's gonna be a great game. I will bet on 379 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 2: this game, and I will have a right up at 380 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 2: some point Monday on the site. I'm leaning Arizona, but 381 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 2: I don't. I've still got a couple things I got 382 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 2: to hammer away before I fire, so I don't have 383 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 2: any money on the game yet. If you're curious, Ken 384 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:44,679 Speaker 2: Pom has it Arizona winning by three, The line is 385 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 2: two and a half. And the other model that is 386 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 2: the most respected out there is Barttorvik dot com. That 387 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 2: site has let's see, oh, they only have Arizona by one, 388 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 2: so there is a little agreement in Arizona by one 389 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 2: the other models Ken Palm has three and the lines 390 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 2: two and a half.

USC was a three and a half. I 395 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:24,959 Speaker 2: waited it went down to three. I was like, all right, 396 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 2: I'll take USC and they went by two practically at 397 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 2: the buzzer. This Gilbert Arenas's son, really nice move. I 398 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,120 Speaker 2: was hoping he would hit another three.
