1 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: What is going on? Holy Molly, just got done watching 2 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: Thursday night football back to back. Just incredible Thursday night games, 3 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,319 Speaker 1: Thank God. And I I really want to thank the 4 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: NFL for not listening to Twitter, not listening to several 5 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: of the NFL players that all wanted Thursday night football canceled. 6 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: I'm really not sure what we would do. I know 7 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,959 Speaker 1: there's playoff baseball now, maybe we could listen to a podcast. 8 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 1: I don't know, but that game was just fantastic. It 9 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: was Now I'm I got a soft spot in my 10 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: heart for the NFC West, but man, that that was 11 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: as good as it gets. Seattle Rams Seattle somehow, I 12 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: guess not somehow because they were in full control then 13 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: they were out of control that it looked like the 14 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: Rams were gonna win. What a crazy game. We'll We'll 15 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: dive into really both sides. Uh. Then I want to 16 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: touch on Stefon Diggs and kind of the drama that's 17 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: going on there. Then, like basically every Friday that we 18 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: do now, just I go over every game, just a 19 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: couple of minutes each game, the first couple of things 20 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 1: that come into my head and what I'm looking for 21 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: in the game, and then we end the podcast like 22 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: we do every week with the Middlecoff mail bag at 23 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: John Middlecoff is my Instagram handle slide up into those 24 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: uh my Instagram d m S asked me a question 25 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: and we answer it right here, same as my Twitter handle. 26 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: Easiest way to get a hold of me. But whoa what? 27 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,279 Speaker 1: What a game? Now? You know, there was a moment 28 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: early in the game when Pete Carroll elected to kick 29 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: a field goal and it almost bit him in the butt. 30 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:47,199 Speaker 1: It really did. Because you coach scared you you deserve 31 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: to lose. And I never feel bad for a coach 32 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: that loses the game when he makes a decision that 33 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: it's like, Pete your fourth and one. You have an identity. 34 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: And that's the one thing you say about Seattle is 35 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: they have an identity. And I was thinking about watching 36 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: in the game because there's this narrative that you hear 37 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: a lot, especially with older people, the NFL is better 38 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: when the Redskins matter, when the Raiders matter, and just 39 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: all these old school teams that were good, like the seventies, 40 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: eighties or nineties that aren't good anymore. And I was 41 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: just thinking watching this game bullshit, like new teams emerged 42 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: Seattle has now become a staple in the NFL that 43 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: had an sec like environment. Just watched it on television. 44 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 1: They have a name for their fans, the Twelves. They 45 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: were owned. You know, he just passed away recently, but 46 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: Paul Allen, of the richest men in America, hires Pete Carroll, 47 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: he hires John Schneider, and they were going on essentially 48 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: what is a tenure run. And really since about two 49 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: thousand twelve of just kicking ass and taking names, they 50 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: won a super Bowl, they went to another. They've mattered 51 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: several years. They make the playoffs every year except one 52 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: over that time period, and that one year they missed. 53 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: They went nine and seven, and right now there four 54 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: and one, and clearly, you know, I would say they 55 00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: are the favorite right now to win the NFC West. 56 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: They're the favorite right now to win the NFC West. 57 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: And they're led by just this superhuman player in Russell Wilson, 58 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,839 Speaker 1: and he is x It's hard to even describe when 59 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: you watch him just how good he is. Because their team, 60 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: actually their team I think is a little better this 61 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: year than it has been the last couple of years. 62 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett is he is as good as he's ever been. 63 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: Chris Carson is really coming into his own. Will dis 64 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: Lee's now kind of a sleeper star. Uh dk Metcals 65 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: a playmaker, though he had a couple of bad drops. 66 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,959 Speaker 1: Like they got players Dwayne Brown. Their offensive line is 67 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: playing a lot better. But when you watch Russell Wilson, 68 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: it's like you're watching an NBA player. Just get on 69 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: my back. I got you, guys. But and this is 70 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: where I give Pete Carroll and just his philosophical beliefs 71 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: on the way to operate a football team, Like they 72 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: have a clear identity. They want to pound the football 73 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: down your throat and analytical twitters like stop running the ball, 74 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: throw them all, throw them all, throw the ball. Well, 75 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: they control you because they run the ball. Chris Carson, 76 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: who's clearly one of their better players on the team, 77 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: and just his style of running makes you want to say, uncle, 78 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: just relentless running you, over running you, over running you, 79 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: over NonStop, and it controls the game. And that enables 80 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: them to hit their big plays in play action, where 81 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson you'd say, I don't know, the best deep 82 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: all thrower in the history of the league. Definitely the 83 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: most beautiful deep ball we've ever seen. But just as 84 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: as a TV product, Like I said, the A night 85 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: game in Seattle is really really tough to beat right 86 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 1: now in the NFL, maybe maybe New Orleans, maybe Arrowhead 87 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: like that, they're on a small list of the cream 88 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 1: of the crop. They have a collegiate field to them. 89 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: Then they have a player that is a absolute superstar. 90 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: And watching this game, you realize, well, I think Mahomes 91 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 1: is the heavy favorite to win the m v P. 92 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: Most people listening, I think we'd all agree with that. 93 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: If he stays healthy, he's just gonna win. Back to 94 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 1: that m VPS. But the first couple of weeks it 95 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: was like, oh, is Lamar Jackson gonna be in mix all? 96 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: What about this guy? What about Dac? What about this guy? 97 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: Do you do that? You know who's gonna be second 98 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: the m v P and definitely the most valuable player 99 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: non Mahomes, It's Russell Wilson. What would the Seattle Seahaks 100 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: me without Russell Wilson if you just put average quarterback 101 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: on their team like Kirk Cousins. If Kirk Cousins was 102 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: Seattle's quarterback, how many games do they win? Three? Four? Now? 103 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll, you would probably get him like six, maybe seven. 104 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,799 Speaker 1: Steven Clowney. Now they didn't give up that much for Clowney, 105 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,799 Speaker 1: but you don't feel his presence like you do Aaron 106 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: Donald or Khalil Mack. Like he's a different level guy. 107 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: As you saw it. For them to get pressure, they 108 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: had to blitz constantly. But at the end of the day, 109 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is just They're separating factor. He has been, 110 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 1: I'd say really for the last four or five years. 111 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,799 Speaker 1: You know, early on people forget because that's the world. 112 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: We live in the heat of the moment, and I'm 113 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: just as guilty as anybody prisoner of the moment of 114 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 1: just for a while. Definitely the first two or three years, 115 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: he would make a remarkable play here and there. But 116 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: their defense was leading the charge. I mean, they had 117 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: the number one scoring defense for for String. You could 118 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: not score on them, like Jared Goff could not have 119 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: pulled that off against the Legion of Boom, but you 120 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: can pull it off against this group. Did try hard, 121 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: play hard. They're just not as anywhere near as talented 122 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: as that group. They're an offensive team. They're gonna outscore you. 123 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 1: That's that's the two thousand nineteen Seattle Seahawks. But even 124 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: with some of their coaching flaws like hey hey, Pete 125 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: Carroll and Sean McVeigh, you guys realize that this new 126 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: past interference rule is only for egregious errors. Close your 127 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: eyes and envision New Orleans l a last year to 128 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: end the game. That's what the rule is for, not 129 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: basic hand fighting and in people middle cup. If the 130 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: letter of the law, he extended his arm, he's touching him. 131 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: That's that's not what they're doing. They've even said, so 132 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: this is not ticky tack stuff. It has to be egregious. 133 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: Stop throwing the penalty flags for pass interference either offensive 134 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: or defensively a non egregious errors. They're not gonna overturn it. 135 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 1: I I because I have no life, or you know, 136 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: I get paid to watch football. However you want to 137 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: quantify it. I've watched a large majority of the NFL 138 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: games this year and it doesn't Besides, like one play, 139 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: they haven't overturned any of them. They're not going to 140 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: do it. So Pete Sean McVeigh, come on, fellas. Now 141 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: Sean actually challenged and even worse play like Sean his 142 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: feet aren't in the challenging tonight. The coaching tonight was 143 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: a little hit or miss. I do think it's easy. 144 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: Everyone on Twitter is always Bill Walsh of play calling, 145 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: and again I'm guilty too. You always know more in 146 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: the coach when you run the ball as consistently as 147 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: they did on that fourth down that got a little 148 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: dicey where they basically ran option and Russell Wilson pitches 149 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,559 Speaker 1: to lock it. I don't mind doing something a little 150 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: out of the ordinary. Isn't that the point of coaching. 151 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: It's like a boxing match, right when you're just pounding 152 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: them with lefts. Well, eventually, when you're going for the knockout, 153 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: they're gonna protect against the left, so you should hang right. 154 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: He tried to hang it right, and they sniffed it 155 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: out and it didn't. It didn't work. That's the one 156 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: thing about play calling. When stuff doesn't go as planned, 157 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: it can look really bad and you can look like 158 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: an idiot. Like to me, I like their play calling, 159 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: especially in this game. They wanted to control the clock, 160 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: they wanted to keep that offense off the field. Seattle's defense, 161 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: like I said, this is not l ob They're not 162 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: that talented especially in the back end. They don't really 163 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: have quote unquote like cover corners right that that's not 164 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: really their deal. Guys are wide open all night. We'll 165 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: get into Goff and McVeigh, but they're gonna win on offense. 166 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's gonna make just highlight reel plays and they're 167 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: gonna pound you running the football. That is who Seattle is. 168 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: That's who Pete wants to be. And everyone acts like 169 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: he's archaic. And we'll get into Mike Zimmer later the 170 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: differences his ship works. They can they win every year. 171 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: They go to the playoffs every year. And this team, 172 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: which I think is better than the last two years team. 173 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: If somehow they could win twelve thirteen games and get 174 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: home field advantage or even the two seed, who's no 175 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: one's going into Seattle in the playoffs and winning a 176 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 1: playoff game, that's that's not happening. So Seattle kind of 177 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: flexts their muscles tonight because they've been playing just random 178 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: teams and looking you know, you watch them against the Cardinals, 179 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: You're like, who are these guys? You watch them tonight 180 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: like they show who they are. They got some championship 181 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: blood in them. They got Pete Carroll, they got Russell Wilson, 182 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: they got an ethos as a squad, which is we're 183 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: gonna run the ball down your throat and on defense, 184 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: we're just gonna fly around, even if we're not as talented, 185 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: but we're gonna play really hard. And that that was 186 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: a really impressive win by Seattle. Now the Rams have 187 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: lost back to back games, and I don't want to 188 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: say it's a must win game, but a week from 189 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: Sunday they play the forty Niners, and depending on what 190 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: happens the Monday Night game against the Browns, that game 191 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: could be pretty freaking big. I mean, if the Rams 192 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: were to go three and three, and let's say the 193 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,079 Speaker 1: Niners win Monday Night and or five and oh, that 194 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: would be a pretty big deal. But it's getting ahead 195 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: of ourselves a little bit. I One thing I noticed tonight, 196 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: and I have nothing but respect for this guy, is 197 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh. Like I I've been saying from the jump, 198 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: I thought the Rams are gonna come back to earth 199 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: a little bit. You just can tell their teams not 200 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: quite as talented, even though offensively Cooper cups now back. 201 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: Robert Wood still as stud Higgbie's a solid player. This, 202 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: this Everet guy they drafted a couple of years ago 203 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: is really good. Todd Gurley is just fine. But Sean 204 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: mcveigh's special is feel for play calling is awesome. One 205 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: thing I really notice, and I think this key. I 206 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: I used to be pretty immature when it came to stress. 207 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: I used to freak out, you know, definitely in my teens, 208 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 1: in my twenties. Hell, I mean by my early thirties too. 209 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: I've gotten a lot better at it now. Some of 210 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: it's just breathing, some of it's just realizing freaking out 211 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: doesn't do that much for you. But it taken me 212 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 1: twenty plus years to realize how to handle stress. And 213 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: I'm still I don't want to claim I'm perfect by 214 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: any means, but I've gotten a lot better at it. 215 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: But I'm also not in situations. I mean, I record podcasts, 216 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: I do periscopes, you know. I I phone into radio 217 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 1: stations like my my job isn't that stressful? Right? And 218 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: I don't also have twenty million people watching me on 219 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: the sideline when things are going wrong? Did you know 220 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: to Sean McVeigh when they called the late the roughing 221 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: penalty on Clay Matthews, which was extreme, Like, come on, guys, 222 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 1: he barely touched him. He hit him legally. It's not 223 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: the He didn't freak out of coaches. Besides, like Belichick 224 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: and and like coach Read are losing their mind, especially 225 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: the young crew of coaches, and Sean McVeigh didn't because 226 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: what is freaking outdo? They're not gonna overturn the call. 227 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: The one thing I consistently like about Sean McVeigh is 228 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: his sideline demeanor. He's never feels out of sorts. And 229 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: that's why his team when the game felt like it 230 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: was over, when they when Seattle picked the ball and 231 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: then you realize, well they got the twohim into warring 232 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: and then they got two time outs, you start doing 233 00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,719 Speaker 1: the matter like the game is actually not over, and 234 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: then the Rams drive right down the field. Because Sean 235 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: mcveigh's personality is very even keel. He's not too I mean, 236 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: he gets he gets fired up when they score, but 237 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: he doesn't get too low when things go against him. 238 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: He does not freak out at least that I've noticed 239 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: in his quarterback very similar. You know Jared Goff Barry, 240 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: a guy the California cool, very laid back to me. 241 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,719 Speaker 1: That helps him in situations like tonight, You're going on 242 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 1: the road in Seattle, a place, this a place historically 243 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: the last in the Peat Carroll era have chew good 244 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: quarterbacks up and spit them back out. The noise, the environment. 245 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: He was pinned up against his own end zone a 246 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 1: couple of times, and he was twenty nine forty nine 247 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: for yards, a touchdown and a pick, and the pick 248 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: was pretty freaky and he should add two touchdowns if 249 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: Robert was just drags his feet. Jared Goff was phenomenal 250 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: last night. And is he a little flawed, Sure, but 251 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what he's not. He's not a scrub 252 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: and he's not a bad player. How many young quarterbacks 253 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: under thirty could have done when he just did in 254 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: Seattle in that environment on a short week off a loss. 255 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: His ability to understand the offense, and again it gets 256 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: back to, yeah, is he scheme oriented? Is is the 257 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: system driving him? Whatever? Like that's that's football, and he's 258 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: he executes what he's asked to do the majority of 259 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: the time. Since he's been the quarterback for Sean McVeigh 260 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: and really since he's been the quarterback starting quarterback in 261 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: college football, like for for multiple years a Cow they 262 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 1: were putting up huge numbers and their defense was the 263 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: worst defense in the NFL. But his demeanor. I love 264 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,479 Speaker 1: Jared Goffs demeanor, and I think if you're not from California, 265 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: it's like he doesn't care. He looks lethargy. I kind 266 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: of like that. You know, sometimes when you get too 267 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: high at quarterback, it does it works against you, especially 268 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 1: in situations where you can't hear anything. You're down late 269 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 1: on the road, you're down one point. You try to 270 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: drive the whole field, and that's a whole another question, like, hey, 271 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: Ken Norton and Pete Carroll stopped playing prevent dfense. Just 272 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: play normal defense, make them, make them beat you. Now, 273 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: I get the counters always, well, we don't want to 274 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: have a broken play, go for a touchdown. The one 275 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: thing I know it's to try and truth formula in 276 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,599 Speaker 1: that situation with under a couple of minutes to go 277 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: and you're up and they have to just get a 278 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: field goal and you play prevent defense they're getting in 279 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: field goal range. What whoever? The team is like ninety 280 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: of the time and when it's McVeigh and Goff they're 281 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: gonna get in field goal range. And I thought GoF 282 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: put on a clinic on that drive, not freaking out 283 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: taking what was with their for him. He knows exactly 284 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: what routes to work, when to work him hot routes 285 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: in different situations in the second half that you can't 286 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: quantify even on TV. Just I've been there a couple 287 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: of times how loud that place is, and you could tell, 288 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: like they were on one tonight that had to feel 289 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: like like this team is pretty good, this game is 290 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: big because the Rams are big. Like that that had 291 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: like a Niner Seattle feel five or six years ago. 292 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: You could tell those people in the stadium, the twelves 293 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: as they call him, took some pride in that bad 294 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: boy and Jared Goff answered the bell. And he's a 295 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: guy that basically every show I turned on or every 296 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: article I read kind of taking a crap on him. 297 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: He's not good enough. He's you know this way overpaid. 298 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: And like I said, is he Mahomes or is he 299 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz? No? Is he what I like to pay him? 300 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: A hundred ten million dollars? Yeah, I'd like that number 301 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: to probably about eighty five, maybe ninety, you know, on 302 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: the high end. But it is what it is. The 303 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: price is the price, and you can win with Jared 304 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: Goff because clearly tonight he ain't their problem. You know 305 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: what the problem is is keep to leave kind of 306 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: a shell of himself. Marcus Peters is one of the 307 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: biggest boomer bust corners we've ever seen in NFL history. 308 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: He either creates a pick six, he has a fumble six, 309 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: or he gives up a touchdown. Like there's literally no 310 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: middle ground with the guy. He just he gives up 311 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: big plays. One He either makes a big play or 312 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: gives it up. And to me, I could somewhat live 313 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: with it because of the plays that he makes. But 314 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: in a in a game like tonight where he just 315 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: didn't make a play, he's a liability, you know. And 316 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: in a game like tonight where Russell Wilson is seventeen 317 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: and twenty three, he's not even throwing anything close to 318 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: a pick. They're not going to turn over the ball. Like, hey, Marcus, 319 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: I need you to cover the guy. Stop staying in 320 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: flat footed, keep the guy in front of you and 321 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: just tackle him. That's what we need out of you. 322 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: My man, we're paying you whatever your fifth year option. 323 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: You're making a lot of money. Just we don't need 324 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: a pick six. We just need a pass deflection. We 325 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: just need an open field tackle. You know, stop standing 326 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: flat footed and hoping you can jump on an out route. 327 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: That's not gonna happen. So, as I talked about last Thursday, 328 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: one of the fatal flaws right now of the Philadelphia 329 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: Eagles their defensive backfield, I think you could say the 330 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: same for the corners with the l A. Rams, except 331 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: they're just way more famous than Marcus Peters and to 332 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: keep to leave the air liabilities right now that they 333 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: really are. And if it wasn't for Jered Goff and 334 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: the Ram's offense just scoring all these points, even despite 335 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: he had to throw four yards, they got fifty yards 336 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: out of Todd Gurley. He had a couple of touchdowns, 337 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: but they were both red zone goal line touchdowns. If 338 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 1: if it wouldn't have been for a twenty seven yard 339 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: and around to Brandon Cooks, they would have had like 340 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,400 Speaker 1: fifty yards rushing, Like this is not some power out 341 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: rushing team anymore. They're they're basically going four and five wide. 342 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: When we know Jared Goff's gonna throw, and he was 343 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,239 Speaker 1: able to get the job done. I think a lot 344 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: of people. I mean, I'm getting d MS to night 345 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: like as he is, is Jared Goff worse than Derek 346 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: carr Is, is Jared Goff not like Jared goffs pretty 347 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: damn good. I think we hold people to these crazy 348 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 1: standards of like Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes and Russell Wilson. 349 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: If you're between like eight and twelve guy like a 350 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: like a Jared Goff, like a Dak Prescott, you can win. 351 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 1: And and if you're calm, cool and collected and are 352 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: accurate and big spots, you can be a really good player. 353 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: And you saw tonight like Jared Goff is still a 354 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: really good player, and his head coach is clearly really special. 355 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: It's why even if the Rams, let's say the Niners 356 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: beat him next week, I would not write them off. 357 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: I think Sean McVeigh, the culture they have, they play 358 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: their ass off like. That's the one thing Pete Carroll's 359 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 1: teams helped hung his hat on over. This tenure run 360 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: is just one. They've had great players, but they always 361 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: play really really hard, and I think you see the 362 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: same thing beside the DBS. With the Rams, they play 363 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: really really hard, and as long as you do that 364 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: and you have good coaches and good players, you're gonna 365 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: be in the mix. I I can't wait for Rams 366 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 1: Seattle part two. Okay, let's get into the Minnesota Vikings. 367 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: My guy Mike Zimmer whose looks like he's losing a 368 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,919 Speaker 1: little control of the squad. And Stephen Diggs, which reportedly 369 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 1: has asked for a trade though he denied it, but 370 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: he didn't really deny it. Little bizarre one of the 371 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say anti player movement. I'm actually probably like anybody. 372 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: Player movements really fun watching guys hit free agency, watching 373 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: players get traded. There's a big difference I think with 374 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: the player movement in the NBA. Like Paul George has 375 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: just signed a hundred sixty million dollar contract and a 376 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,400 Speaker 1: year later he goes to the thundersaid trade me right, 377 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis was under contract for a hundred and fifty 378 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: million dollars, still had a year left and basically quit 379 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: in the middle of the season. Like Kauai saying, Hey, 380 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 1: Greg Popovitch, I I think you're kind of an asshole. 381 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: I don't think I don't trust the training staff. I 382 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,719 Speaker 1: want out, you know, I for he did quit. You know, 383 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 1: they played the Warriors in the playoffs and he didn't 384 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,719 Speaker 1: show up. But if he truly felt like that too 385 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: in his heart, that they were out to screw him, 386 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 1: I get why you don't trust him right, and would 387 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: want out, And like Kyrie irving to me was much 388 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: more of like an NFL style. Lebron tried to trade him, 389 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: so he said, screw you guys. I want out. Plus, 390 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: I know Lebron's gonna jump ship to l A, get 391 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: me the hell out of here. I didn't. I didn't 392 00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: have a problem with Kyrie asking out, get get the 393 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 1: hell out there. I'd want out to Lebron's is gonna 394 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 1: screw you no matter what, and then he's gonna blame 395 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: someone else where. If you've seen in football these guys 396 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: kind of requesting trades, like Jalen Ramsey's not trade me 397 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: only to this place. He just said he wanted to 398 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: trade get rid of me. Even Stefan Digs was like, yeah, 399 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: I don't really want to be here now. With Jalen Ramsey, 400 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: it was kind of base right. Maybe Tom Coughlin had 401 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: says something weird to him, And I think we could 402 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:29,959 Speaker 1: all envision Tom Coughlin being mad at Jalen Ramsey and 403 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 1: saying something that probably crossed the line, and I don't 404 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: think it would be that out of character, the crazy 405 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,679 Speaker 1: old Curmudge and Tom Coughlin. Well, Mike Zimmer who is 406 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: really the NFL's coaching version, because let's is Belichick kind 407 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 1: of an a hole? Yeah he can be that, but 408 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 1: his players really like him. They consistently win. It's just 409 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 1: a tough program. But it's like, yeah, the Navy Seals 410 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 1: is hard, but I'm still a Navy Seal. Like Patriots 411 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: are hard, but I'm still a Patriot. It's it's good 412 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: on your resume. Like it's one thing to be really 413 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: hard and be just be an old school curmudgeon and 414 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: be angry seven and your team doesn't even win that much. 415 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: If I was Stefon Diggs, especially with my head coach 416 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: who's just always angry, is all all he wants to 417 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 1: do is run the ball, And then I had this 418 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: quarterback that can't complete a ball, I kind of understand, like, 419 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 1: get me the hell out of here. The easiest way 420 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 1: to avoid going down on the Titanic. Right, It's just 421 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: not even get on the Titanic in the first place. 422 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 1: He sees where this thing's going. And I had to 423 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: look today because I'm like I thought the Stefan Diggs 424 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 1: had a pretty good year with her cousin. He had 425 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: a career year in two thousand eighteen, get a hundred 426 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: plus catches, he had over a thousand yards, and then 427 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: he had nine touchdowns. Like he's a really, really good player. 428 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,360 Speaker 1: But I think it's pretty clear he's in and he's 429 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: in an environment that one is not conducive to his 430 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: skill set anymore. They do not want to throw the ball. 431 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 1: They want to run at seven three now. Because I 432 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: was talking to some people in the league this week 433 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: and this is this is what I told someone and 434 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: they kind of agreed. I think that the Bears you've 435 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 1: seen this. You see this in all sports. They say 436 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 1: styles make fights, right. There have been certain teams over 437 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: the years they gave the Warriors trouble, even when they 438 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: had Kevin Durant. It was longer teams like the Boston Celtics, 439 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Bucks. Actually typically teams in the East, the 440 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: Philadelphia seventeen. If you had long wings and a big, 441 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: active center, you could give the Warriors some trouble and 442 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: different teams throughout that you might not think that would 443 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 1: did right and just one team you you would go well, 444 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: of course the Bears are gonna give any team trouble, 445 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 1: but they are specifically built to dominate zone blocking run schemes. 446 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: That's why they kicked the crap out of the Rams 447 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: last year. That's why they just house the Vikings. You know, 448 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: if they played like the forty Niners in the playoffs, 449 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: would be a very, very tough matchup for the Niners 450 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: because you can't run on them with a soft scheme. 451 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: You might not have a chance to run with a 452 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: physical scheme, but at least you might. You have no 453 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: chance trying to zone block because Khalil mckacheam, Hicks Goldman, 454 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: Danny Trevithan now that roquant, they will toss dudes and 455 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: just be making plays left and right. You won't be 456 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 1: able to run up, so you have to be able 457 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: to pass. And Stefon Diggs realizing well, when we play 458 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: good teams and ultimately we're just gonna play good teams. 459 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 1: Now it's shaping up to be one of the better 460 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: divisions in football, if not the best division in football, 461 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: right one through four, the Bears, the Vikings, the Packers 462 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: and Alliance. If you just look roster wise, might not 463 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: even be close. They might be in a division by themselves. 464 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: And then you look at just like any team when 465 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: they're on really good. I understand if I was Dicks, 466 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: why i'd want out that the coach does not want 467 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: to pass you the ball clearly. And I said this 468 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: last year, and I was I was open and honest. 469 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 1: That Flip is my guy. I've known him, says he 470 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,679 Speaker 1: was an assistant coach of the Raiders. I really like him, 471 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: friends with him. I don't hide agendas here like I 472 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: have friends in the league. I embrace like I'm biased 473 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 1: toward the Bears, like Naggie biased toward the Chiefs, beaching 474 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: Andy and my guys. You know, I root for Hollie 475 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: just they're gonna be certain guys that I just know 476 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 1: that I'm gonn root for a root for Flip. And 477 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: what's Flipped doing Gardner Mintew Oh they're winning games? Oh yeah, shocker. Well, 478 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: it turns out Zimmer. It might be Zimmer right, and 479 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: it might be that this guy is coming down the 480 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: home stretch of having this job. Because when you have 481 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 1: star players, and that's what Stefan Diggs is on their team, 482 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: Like they have one of the best, if not the 483 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: best wide receiver duo in the league. And whether Zimmer 484 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 1: wanted them or whether it was Spielman, regardless, you have 485 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: a quarterback that makes twenty eight million dollars. So I 486 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: don't care if you're playing the eight five Bears when 487 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: you have two stud wide receivers and I'm paying you 488 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,199 Speaker 1: a premium not just good, but I'm paying you a boatload. 489 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,479 Speaker 1: I've invested just an insane amount of money in a 490 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 1: three year stretch to this quarterback. Who was This guy 491 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: wasn't a rookie and he was an established player, so 492 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: they knew what they were getting. They mis evaluated because 493 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: he's just not good enough. Well, step on Diggs trying 494 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 1: to starting to realize one of my quarterback is not 495 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: good enough, even though, like I said, a little ironic 496 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 1: because they had a really good year to other But 497 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: I think it's the bigger part is this offense. I'm irrelevant, 498 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 1: I'm just a I'm just a blocking dummy out here. 499 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: This sucks and we're not gonna be that good. And 500 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: my head coach is always gonna be angry, and I 501 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: know that he doesn't really know the offense, but he's 502 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: still probably yelling at me. And I got this offensive 503 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: coordinator that's probably being undermined a little bit by the 504 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 1: head coach and that might not know what he's doing. 505 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,719 Speaker 1: Like that Ed Stefanski, who when I lived in Philly, 506 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: his dad I think was the president of the Eagles, 507 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: who's the offensive coordinator with the Vikings. Is had been 508 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: with the Vikings for like I think over ten plus years, 509 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: and they finally made him the offensive coordinator. And it's 510 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: just he's basically just doing what Zimmer wants him to do. 511 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,919 Speaker 1: But they got issues, they got problems like this. This 512 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 1: is the franchise when you talk about like what team, 513 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 1: what jobs are going to be available? If the Minnesota 514 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,479 Speaker 1: Vikings do not make the playoffs with this roster, I 515 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: think one million percent Mike Zimmer gets fired. And the 516 00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 1: hard part is about the NFL Unlike the NBA is 517 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: like I gave those examples of like the Kyrie's and 518 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: the Anthony davis Is, those guys are so rich they 519 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: can just be like, yeah, I'm I'm not going to 520 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 1: show up to the game tomorrow. I'm just gonna hang 521 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: out at home, like, don't give me a game check whatever. 522 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 1: I make forty million dollars a year, it's a little 523 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,679 Speaker 1: more difficult. Even when you have a good contract like 524 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: Digs have, you can't really miss games. It's why I 525 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: don't necessarily think Jalen Ramsey's making up this injury, because 526 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,719 Speaker 1: they would probably find them. They're paying him a lot 527 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: of money, you know, he was a top five pick. 528 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 1: Like his contract, He's not making five thousand dollars, so 529 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 1: gets a little trickier. I do understand why Dick showed up, 530 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 1: but after watching the press conference, he doesn't want to 531 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 1: be there, and I kind of support him. If I 532 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 1: was him, I wouldn't want to be there either. Hey, 533 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: let's bang out some of these games. We'll just go 534 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: through him one by one with the spread Ravens minus 535 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 1: three and a half on the road against the fighting 536 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,479 Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now I didn't like 537 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph at all after the forty niner game, but 538 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 1: first start on the road against what looks like to 539 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 1: be a pretty good defense, tough to judge him. He's 540 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: gonna play a lot better at home. Now he's not 541 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 1: playing the Bengals every week. But it's just any young 542 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: player is gonna especially at quarterback, is gonna be more 543 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: comfortable at home. So I like the Steelers plus three 544 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: and a half. The Ravens have come back to Earth 545 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: after playing basically Cal Pauli and U. C. Davis A K. 546 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: The Cardinals and the Miami Dolphins. Those teams are terrible. 547 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson hasn't been good the last two weeks, especially 548 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,640 Speaker 1: in the first half of the game. He just looks 549 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,479 Speaker 1: a little overwhelmed. Now, the Ravens still have a lot 550 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: of good players and Lamar is still a major threat. 551 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,439 Speaker 1: But this is a game that I'm just gonna go 552 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: with the home team. This is a rivalry game. And 553 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 1: back to Mason rudolph I'm I wouldn't bet on Mason 554 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: rudolph in on the road, but if you tell me, 555 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: he's at home in a comfortable environment coming off a win, 556 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 1: so he's kind of got a little mojo and confidence going. 557 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 1: I like the Steelers plus three and a half Bears 558 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: at the Raiders. This game is in London, because the 559 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 1: Raiders play a London game for like fifteen straight years. Uh, 560 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: gotta like the Bears. I just don't see how the 561 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,360 Speaker 1: Raiders score. I mean last week they had a pick 562 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: six and they had a sixty yard end around, which 563 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 1: for fourteen of their whatever thirty one points. The Bears 564 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: just don't give up points like you're you're not hitting 565 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 1: an end around on them. Now, the one way they 566 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 1: could could Chase turn the ball over? Yes, he could? 567 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: You know? Or is Chase Daniel what I've kind of 568 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,479 Speaker 1: seen on the Twitter streets, is Chase Daniel better than 569 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 1: Mr Bisky? He's physically not as gifted, but does he 570 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 1: know the offense? And is he in more control of 571 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 1: his emotions and just more under control? Yeah? Maybe I 572 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: just the only way the Raiders have had success this 573 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: year again the Broncos and in the Colts game was 574 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 1: running the ball and dominating with Josh Jacobs, who looks 575 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: to be a really good player, very physical running back. Well, 576 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: I got bad news for Raiders fans. You don't run 577 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: against the Bears. That's they don't do that. It's not allowed. 578 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: They have They have these guys named Khalil Mack and 579 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: Kim Hicks and Goldman Floyd and Trevathan and they get 580 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: a lot of dudes that make a lot of tackles 581 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: behind the line of scrimmage. So I I think you 582 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,479 Speaker 1: could tell me the Raiders play well and get their 583 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: ask kicked. This is a This is a really tough 584 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: matchup for Gruden and and Derek. So I like the 585 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 1: Bears minus five and a half Cardinals Bengals. Initial reaction 586 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: is I wouldn't wish this game on my worst enemy 587 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: who's watching this game beside locals and family members, because 588 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: I I don't think i'd watch a snap. I found 589 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: Kyler the Kyler Murray experienced and not be that fun 590 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: like whenever I watch. I'm just I'm not even that entertained, 591 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: you know, I remember watching even Lamar Jackson does some 592 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: stuff where I go, I'm really entertained. Obviously, the r 593 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: G three is the Michael Vicks. I'm just not really 594 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 1: seeing it. And if you've listened to me for a while, 595 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: you know I liked him coming out, so I'm not 596 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: kicking the guy when he's down. But I just maybe 597 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 1: it's just because he's so small. I mean, he's just 598 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: so tiny. I'm not seeing it. Vikings at the Giants 599 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: sneaky big game for Zimmer and Kirk Cousins, Danny Dimes 600 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: they back to back wins. Say Kwan Barkley, who's I 601 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: don't know, not human somehow is overcoming high ankle spraining 602 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: and fifteen days he might play. The Vikings are just 603 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: a much better team if they don't let the internal 604 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: dysfunction and the diminishing belief on a daily basis of 605 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins ruin their franchise. They should kick the crap 606 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: out of the Giants. But it does feel like the 607 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 1: Giants got a little positive mojo going. This is this 608 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: would have me on upset alert. If the Vikings lose 609 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: this game, you can see Zimmer get fired on Monday, 610 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 1: Like that would that might be all she wrote. But 611 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: on paper this game should not be very close at all. 612 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: Another game that just sucks on paper. Because the Jets 613 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: are rolling out Sam Donald still can't play. They're just 614 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: their teams terrible. They're playing the Eagles, who should just 615 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: kill him. I just the Eagles are also coming right 616 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: off a Jets are coming off of bye. The Eagles 617 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: are coming off a Thursday night game, so that's it 618 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: wouldn't even matter. The Eagles could be coming off two 619 00:30:58,160 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: days rest of They should kick the crap out of 620 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: the Gets. It's impossible to even judge the Jets with 621 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 1: a starting quarterback out a little scouting. Uh you know, 622 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: meet right here with Joe Douglas going back to Philly. 623 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: Kind of cool, not that that really matters. Again, the 624 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: Eagles win this game, you're three and two. You start 625 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: getting a little mojo going. This case is pretty good. 626 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: Tampa at the Saints. One thing we know about Tampa's 627 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 1: their coach is really good. Bruce Arians has been a 628 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: head coach for how many years in Arizona and he 629 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: was excellent. He is a and he was a coach 630 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: that one year when Chuck Bogano got hurt and he 631 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: was excellent. We know when Bruce Arians coaches your team, 632 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: you're going to win. Worst case scenario, you're eight and eight, 633 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 1: which I think the Cardinals were two years ago. Best 634 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 1: case scenario, you're competing for a Super Bowl. You're in 635 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game. Tampa Bay has weapons and when 636 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: I wept ends, Mike Evans, Godwin, Ronald Jones is coming on. 637 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 1: The two tight ends, Brighton O. J. Howard make plays. 638 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: You know that Arians, And now is protege left which 639 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 1: can dial them up. Todd Bowls can coach defense. Now 640 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 1: the Saints that win against Alice was impressive. They put 641 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: on a clinic of just we're tougher than you were, 642 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: more physical than you are. Front four is going to 643 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 1: dominate your offensive line. We're just better than you. That 644 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: that was the last two weeks from the Saints. You know, 645 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: the the the Jeff of Jeter's nephew tipping his hat 646 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: to Derek Jeter. That's what I'm doing to Sean Payton 647 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: in the Saints. It's been a it's been a clinic 648 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: these last two weeks of toughness of coaching, of just 649 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: players kind of digging deep without their star quarterback, and 650 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 1: just hitting teams right in the teeth. They did the 651 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: Seattle two weeks ago, and they did it last week 652 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: to Dallas in a much closer game. But that it's 653 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: been really, really impressive. If Tampa goes and wins this game, 654 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: I'm Tampa's a playoff team, like they're they're gonna they 655 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: might win that division because the Saints could be in 656 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 1: a little trouble if they started losing some games with Teddy. 657 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: Tampa lose this game and it's close, I'll be pretty 658 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: impressed with Tampa. I'm telling you I think Tampa's in 659 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: it for the long haul. The Saints, as I talked 660 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: about earlier in the week, they just need Teddy to 661 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: keep the keep the ship above water. UH win games 662 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 1: at home. That's why this game is pretty important. You know, 663 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 1: if it would be one thing that this game was 664 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: in Tampa. It's at home. You got the home crowd advantage, 665 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: of the the home field advantage. Tampa has been really good 666 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: against the run, and Alvin Kamara is clearly one of 667 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: the better you know, non quarterbacks in the NFL might 668 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 1: be the best running back in the Himmer McCaffrey right 669 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 1: now in the NFL. So I'm excited for this game. 670 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: This is this is something that if you would have 671 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: told me, Hey, Tampa Saints and like August, you tell 672 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: me this early October, I'm in Atlanta at Houston. This 673 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 1: is one I wouldn't say. I wouldn't wish this upon 674 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 1: my worst enemy, but even just me and my buddies, 675 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 1: we might change the channel. Atlanta is terrible. Have they 676 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 1: have they quit? It's just just over for dan Quinn. 677 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: If dan Quinn gets blown out in this game, does 678 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 1: he get fired? What's up with Houston? You just scored 679 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 1: ten points against Carolina. Now the counters Carolina's defense playing 680 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: really well. Ron Rivera's a long history of coaching good defenses. 681 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: They're they're just their defense is good. Luke Kik leys 682 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 1: a star. So maybe you go, you play against Atlanta, 683 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: a team that's really soft, a team that's reeling. You 684 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: kind of get your mojo back, get to get the 685 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 1: trains back on the tracks, and you're what You'd be 686 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 1: three and two, Atlanta would be one and four. They 687 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,720 Speaker 1: just it's just it's over. If Atlanta loses this game, 688 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:24,360 Speaker 1: which they're pretty big underdog here on the road. I 689 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 1: think we started talking what are they gonna do? Is 690 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: just even a good job? Like who would want this 691 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,399 Speaker 1: job in the off season, Because the amount of money 692 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 1: that they paid Mattie Ice, you're kind of stuck with him. 693 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 1: It's not like you could have some new quarterback, Like 694 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 1: Maddie Ice is your quarterback in two thousand and twenty. 695 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:41,319 Speaker 1: That's one million percent. Now you could look at it, Well, 696 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 1: they got Julio Hooper is a good player, Calvin Ridley 697 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 1: is a good player. Like they do have a lot 698 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 1: of offensive weapons. They drafted a bunch of offensive linemen. 699 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe it's just time for a change. Maybe it 700 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,880 Speaker 1: was just inevitable for any team that would have that 701 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 1: Super Bowl loss would have derailed the franchise. Maybe maybe 702 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,319 Speaker 1: it's just that simple super Bowl lost to railed the 703 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 1: franchise and you just need to kind of start over, 704 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: need need a new voice. Sometimes you just need a 705 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 1: new voice. Like Dan Quinn will probably be a defensive 706 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:15,399 Speaker 1: coordinator somewhere Packers at Dallas. Probably he has the game 707 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,359 Speaker 1: of the day. This is the game of the day. 708 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,319 Speaker 1: This is interesting Dallas. For the first time, you've heard 709 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 1: a little criticism of Kellen Moore, Like Kellyn, you kind 710 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 1: of got taken into pound town. Now. Kellen Moore is 711 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 1: thirty one years old. He just went on the road 712 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,359 Speaker 1: against Sean Payton and Dennis Allen, who's a really good 713 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,319 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. It happens. It's not people freak out like, yeah, 714 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:39,319 Speaker 1: you got beat. He tried plays that weren't working. He's 715 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,319 Speaker 1: gonna be okay. Their offense has too many weapons. He 716 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 1: I think he's going to be a good coach. I 717 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 1: I've I actually I would bet the farm on Kellen Moore. 718 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: If you're selling Kellen Moore stock, I will take it. 719 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,880 Speaker 1: All Now, this game is tough because Mike Petton, like 720 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 1: Dennis Allen, is one of the better defensive coordinators in 721 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 1: the league. He is. Here's the other thing, one thing 722 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 1: that gives him alar trouble. What Amri's a little banged 723 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 1: up right now? Are physical corners. Well, what did the 724 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 1: Saints have? They had Lattimore who kind of got into him. Well, 725 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 1: what do the Packers have? They have Jay Year Alexander 726 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 1: who's a dog. So that that's a rough matchup for 727 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: a Mark Amari. You want the Cowboys to give me 728 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 1: twenty million dollars a year, We're gonna need to make 729 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,400 Speaker 1: some plays against some physical corners, like you're gonna need 730 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,440 Speaker 1: to make some plays against some Pro bowlers. You don't 731 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 1: just get to beat up on, you know, Joe Schmo 732 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,880 Speaker 1: and Billy Smith. We need you to take out the 733 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,440 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl group, or at least play well against those guys, 734 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 1: because that's part of what I'm paying you for, obviously, 735 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,279 Speaker 1: to keep the crap out of the bad teams, to 736 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 1: be good enough to compete against the good teams, and 737 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 1: be one of the best players on a team once 738 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 1: we make the playoffs. And the performance I saw from 739 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,279 Speaker 1: Amari last week. I know he's a little dinged up, 740 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 1: but he's always a little ing up. That's Amari. That's 741 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 1: what kind of frustrates you about the player. Uh. The 742 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 1: other question is, is is the Packers coming off that rough 743 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,840 Speaker 1: Thursday night loss where they have all those opportunities in 744 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,719 Speaker 1: the goal line, La Fleur Rogers go back in the lab. 745 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 1: The offense just hasn't clicked right. Even in the game 746 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 1: against Philly, it looked like Aaron Rodgers just went a 747 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,360 Speaker 1: little old school, like I got this, I got this coach, 748 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,239 Speaker 1: We're gonna run my place. So that's that's something to 749 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,880 Speaker 1: keep an eye on this La Fleur Rogers relationship. What 750 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 1: their offense looks like. It's pretty clear when you're running 751 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 1: the Sean McVeigh Kyle Shanahan offense, long play action stuff, 752 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 1: you're back looking at the defense. Matt Ryan remember his 753 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 1: first year with Kyle said he hated. It's pretty clear 754 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,880 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers doesn't feel that comfortable with it. It's something 755 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,160 Speaker 1: that you have to get used to. And if you're 756 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, your best attribute is going, you know, three 757 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 1: or four wide shotgun and just making plays. I want 758 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers to make plays, So is this offense? Who 759 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,320 Speaker 1: would have ever thought that the offense when Aaron Rodgers 760 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,960 Speaker 1: still a good player, will ultimately be the downfall of 761 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,879 Speaker 1: this Packer team. And that, to me, that's what would 762 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 1: happen if they lose this game. It would be because 763 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 1: they're not scoring enough points in Dallas's defense is good? 764 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 1: This is this is a matchup with just a lot 765 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,759 Speaker 1: of dudes on the field, at a lot of high 766 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,279 Speaker 1: end dudes. And then what do we got? So I 767 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,759 Speaker 1: I'd probably take Packers three and a half plus three 768 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 1: and a half on the road in Dallas. That's I 769 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: probably wouldn't bet the game. Then the night game, which 770 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 1: had a little more intrigue, probably a week ago, and 771 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 1: then the Colts got their ass kicked by the Raiders. 772 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 1: You go, how are they going to hang with the Chiefs? There? 773 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 1: At a leven point underdog texting with the buddy in 774 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 1: the league. He's like, the one thing you look when 775 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,279 Speaker 1: you look at the Colts roster, they're small, They're not 776 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:25,240 Speaker 1: that big, They're just they're smaller team, and the Raiders 777 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,399 Speaker 1: are actually a pretty big team, especially with their offensive line. 778 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:32,319 Speaker 1: They shoved him around. They shoved the Colts around. Now 779 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 1: the Chiefs aren't really a shove you around team, but 780 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:39,799 Speaker 1: there we're throwing forty points on the scoreboard. And the 781 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:44,320 Speaker 1: one thing I noticed watching Raiders Colts Jacoby solid. He's fine, 782 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 1: but there are times when he's a little bit of 783 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,400 Speaker 1: a slow blinker. You know, when you wish that extra 784 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,920 Speaker 1: half second of holding onto the ball is the difference 785 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: of a tip ball, or in a big game, that 786 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,400 Speaker 1: extra half second of holding onto the ball or staring 787 00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 1: down a wide receiver is an incomplete pass or pick six. 788 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,479 Speaker 1: And he hasn't played that much, so I'm not trying 789 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 1: to be overly critical. That can't prove. The more reps 790 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,719 Speaker 1: you have, the faster things come to you. You know. 791 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:13,400 Speaker 1: The irony is the more reps you get, everything slows down, 792 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 1: so then you can play faster when you think of 793 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,440 Speaker 1: think of all the variables, like you experience, more experienced, 794 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 1: so the game is slower to you, but you're actually 795 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,719 Speaker 1: playing at a faster speed. And that's what they need 796 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,840 Speaker 1: out of Jacobe. If this team, which I thought, and 797 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,560 Speaker 1: I think the Colts, that I would imagine they got 798 00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,879 Speaker 1: after their ass and practice in the film room because 799 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 1: they got embarrassed. And I think the Colts have the 800 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,760 Speaker 1: character of the guys that they've acquired through Chris Ballard, 801 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,880 Speaker 1: They're gonna respond. But this is this is the NFL. 802 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,319 Speaker 1: Sometimes you're just not good enough. At the highest level 803 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,279 Speaker 1: of any profession. You can care as much as the 804 00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,120 Speaker 1: next guy. You can want it the most, you can 805 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 1: have the deep burning desire, But if that guy a 806 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,359 Speaker 1: cross from you is just that much better, there's not 807 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,280 Speaker 1: much you can do. Even if I'm an NBA player, 808 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,239 Speaker 1: if I I I want to win so bad, well, 809 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 1: if I can't cover Lebron James, I just can't cover 810 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,799 Speaker 1: Lebron James. Like, how are they gonna stop the can't 811 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:10,480 Speaker 1: see Chiefs? I don't I don't see it. The Chiefs 812 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 1: are they're playing at home. Who the Chiefs is played there? 813 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,399 Speaker 1: They are on the road in Detroit, so there's only 814 00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 1: their second home game. The Kansas City fans gotta be 815 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,280 Speaker 1: just on cloud nine. I mean they got they basically 816 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 1: got a better version of a young bred farv plan 817 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,240 Speaker 1: for him. The place is gonna be nuts tough environment 818 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,759 Speaker 1: for Jacoby that the spreads a little big just because 819 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,000 Speaker 1: you're able to a little backdoor cover on the Chiefs. 820 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 1: But I don't see how anyway this game headed into 821 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,480 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter is a is a tight game? I 822 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 1: just I think the Chiefs are dramatically better than, uh 823 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 1: than the Indianapolis Colts. Okay, Middlecof mail back at John 824 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,279 Speaker 1: Middlecoff is my Instagram handle slide up in those d 825 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,759 Speaker 1: M s first DM. I think this is my first 826 00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:01,399 Speaker 1: d M from a from a verified user Lewis Young. Hi. There, 827 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:05,440 Speaker 1: massive NFL fan from Australia, but have never chosen the 828 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,880 Speaker 1: team to root for. After listening to you and Colin, 829 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 1: I feel that the team I should root for in 830 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,360 Speaker 1: the long run should have a good owner and structure 831 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,759 Speaker 1: going forward. Can you give me a few options on 832 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,440 Speaker 1: a team to root for in the long term? Well, 833 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,919 Speaker 1: let's flip it. If whenever I root for, like, who 834 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,520 Speaker 1: should I root for? With the ep L was soccer? 835 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 1: Because I'm a very very casual soccer fan. You sound 836 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 1: like a much more intense NFL fan. I just like 837 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:33,400 Speaker 1: what team's Messy on and if Messi's on Barcelona or 838 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,279 Speaker 1: Ronaldo was on a team, I just picked their team, 839 00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,919 Speaker 1: so I'd go, who are the best players? I think 840 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,799 Speaker 1: two guys really stand out. I think the Chiefs would 841 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:45,920 Speaker 1: be a pretty safe bet they got Mahomes, who's four 842 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:47,640 Speaker 1: years old. He's gonna be a team for a while. 843 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,160 Speaker 1: They got a really stable owner, and they got an 844 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 1: excellent coach, So I'd say the Chiefs would be a 845 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,759 Speaker 1: good option. I'd say the Eagles have probably the second 846 00:41:55,800 --> 00:42:00,360 Speaker 1: swedest uh coach or excuse me, quarterback, not coach. But 847 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,239 Speaker 1: Doug's a really good and a good coach and a 848 00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,319 Speaker 1: really good owner. So you couldn't go wrong with the 849 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:09,120 Speaker 1: Eagles or the Chiefs as you saw tonight, Like Seattle 850 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,560 Speaker 1: or the Rams, I think would both be pretty solid, 851 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:15,839 Speaker 1: consistent ones. I personally would probably just approach it like 852 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,840 Speaker 1: I do soccer. I'd go, what team has the messy 853 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,480 Speaker 1: and that messy is the kidsy Chiefs and that is 854 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, So that that's how I would do it. 855 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:31,320 Speaker 1: I would say, under under no circumstances, should you choose 856 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,880 Speaker 1: the Redskins or the Jets? Stay away from those two 857 00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 1: teams just whenever you think about check what about the 858 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:43,480 Speaker 1: Jets run? Okay, here's the question. Where do you stand 859 00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,399 Speaker 1: on the Seahawks? You after year, it looks like they're 860 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 1: gonna make take a step back. With Pete Carroll always 861 00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,000 Speaker 1: gets them in contending. As much as I want to 862 00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,640 Speaker 1: say it's Russell Wilson's magic offensively, there's something that works 863 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:54,880 Speaker 1: in Carroll system. So I just wanted to hear your 864 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 1: professional outlook. Well, I talked about it a lot to 865 00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,920 Speaker 1: open up the podcast. I think there are a lot 866 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,759 Speaker 1: playoff team again, and and now you start thinking is 867 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,359 Speaker 1: this a twelve win team? Because I thought coming into 868 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,479 Speaker 1: the season they were nine or ten. Now I started 869 00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 1: thinking of the twelve or thirteen because the quarterback is 870 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:14,000 Speaker 1: that good. He really is that special. And Pete can 871 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:15,840 Speaker 1: screw up a challenge here and there, but you know 872 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:19,320 Speaker 1: who can't. Challenges can be tough. But man, Russell Wilson, 873 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:23,400 Speaker 1: what what a what a special special player? Now? And 874 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,319 Speaker 1: I say it all the time like his I don't 875 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 1: watch his press conferences because it's a little too phony 876 00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,360 Speaker 1: political for me, but just as a player, when I 877 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:36,280 Speaker 1: can just watch him in a vacuum, he is. I 878 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,360 Speaker 1: I feel pretty confident saying this. He might be my 879 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,399 Speaker 1: favorite player of all time watching you know, Farv would 880 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,440 Speaker 1: be up there, Jerry Rice would be up there. I 881 00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 1: was a big ray Lewis guy. Russell Wilson's right up there. 882 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 1: He's a He's definitely a top three or four player. 883 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,680 Speaker 1: For me, ever, just to watch as a football fan 884 00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,680 Speaker 1: on my couch, just to watch play, just just a 885 00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:02,240 Speaker 1: joy to watch. Just started hearing you on the herd 886 00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:06,080 Speaker 1: and I like your takes, appreciate that. I'm a Cowboys fan. 887 00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,799 Speaker 1: Where do you think we stand this year for being 888 00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,640 Speaker 1: able to win a championship? I think you have a 889 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,839 Speaker 1: I think you have to definitely have an opportunity to 890 00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,560 Speaker 1: win the NFC. Uh, it's a big bounce back week. 891 00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,560 Speaker 1: You're getting the Packers at home. See Kellen Moore. You 892 00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:21,719 Speaker 1: know he kind of got taken to school by Dennis Allen. 893 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,080 Speaker 1: And you know what, he's thirty one years old. Dennis 894 00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,120 Speaker 1: Allen has been the league for years, been at top 895 00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:30,120 Speaker 1: notch defensive coordinator multiple spots. This is a big bounce 896 00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:32,320 Speaker 1: back against a guy that's really good and Mike Petton. 897 00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,160 Speaker 1: So if Kellen Moore, can you know, get the offense humming, 898 00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,440 Speaker 1: get a big win against Mike Petton, I think we'll 899 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:39,359 Speaker 1: be like, oh, Kellen Moore again. It's just the ebb 900 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,360 Speaker 1: and flow of the NFL. It's what makes the sports 901 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:45,120 Speaker 1: so special. But if they put on a good performance 902 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,600 Speaker 1: and they beat the Packers, I'll start believing that that 903 00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:50,800 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Like I've said I I picked him to 904 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,200 Speaker 1: win the NFC to start the season. Now, I got 905 00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,840 Speaker 1: a little nervous last week, but playing in New Orleans 906 00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,839 Speaker 1: tough spot. But come on, playing Teddy Bridgewater, you gotta 907 00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:00,920 Speaker 1: be able to score more than what was the final score? 908 00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,440 Speaker 1: Ten to twelve or eleven and twelve. I can't even 909 00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,040 Speaker 1: remember the score, but they was it ten to nine? 910 00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,600 Speaker 1: I mean they couldn't score, you know, I need I 911 00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,719 Speaker 1: need touchdowns. And my guy Mari, I like, trust me, 912 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,000 Speaker 1: I'm an Amori guy. But his fatal flaws when he 913 00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 1: gets against these physical corners, that that's my big and 914 00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:19,319 Speaker 1: I talked a little bit about it earlier on the 915 00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:24,360 Speaker 1: game section him against Jaire Alexander. Jaire is a dog 916 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,560 Speaker 1: like he wants all the smoke. I don't know if 917 00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:29,400 Speaker 1: a Mari always wants all the smoke, you know, I 918 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:31,960 Speaker 1: think Amory just Maori likes a nice free release off 919 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,600 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. He likes just some some space 920 00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:36,640 Speaker 1: to run his routes. And they're great routes. He's got 921 00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,640 Speaker 1: great feet, He's he's a dynamic little route runner. It's 922 00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,400 Speaker 1: like Marvin Harrison, but he does not like to be touched. 923 00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,600 Speaker 1: That is not his thing. Like Julio Michael Thomas, DeAndre 924 00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,239 Speaker 1: that they don't mind getting they don't touch him. You can, 925 00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:51,680 Speaker 1: you can tackle them and they'll still make the catch. 926 00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,520 Speaker 1: I'm aar, He's like, I'm over it. Do you think 927 00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:56,960 Speaker 1: j T. Daniels is a bust or two tuned or 928 00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,560 Speaker 1: too soon to tell? Is there going to be a 929 00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:04,480 Speaker 1: quarterback controversy USC when he returns. He did have a massive, 930 00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:08,000 Speaker 1: massive injury, wasn't it like ligaments in his knee. I 931 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,319 Speaker 1: mean it's a bad deal. I actually thought he was 932 00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:14,400 Speaker 1: playing well before he went down in that game. So 933 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:16,799 Speaker 1: to say he's a bust, I would say no. Like 934 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:20,200 Speaker 1: to me, Adrian Martinez looks like a bust in college 935 00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,600 Speaker 1: level bus, right, a high recruit that's turned out to 936 00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:26,160 Speaker 1: be not that good. J T. Daniels when you get injured, 937 00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:29,880 Speaker 1: I don't know, And I'd say his future USC is 938 00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,000 Speaker 1: just determined by who's gonna be the next USC coach? 939 00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:35,439 Speaker 1: Who's gonna be the next USC coach? Because we see 940 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,040 Speaker 1: it all the time, right, these coaches come in and 941 00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:41,239 Speaker 1: they want their own guy, especially a guy that's coming 942 00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,880 Speaker 1: off a major injury. I I think there's a I 943 00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:46,960 Speaker 1: don't want to say fifty fifty chance. It seems like 944 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:51,480 Speaker 1: pretty strong. Yeah's I'd say JT. D knows never starts 945 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:55,719 Speaker 1: another game at USC Hell, it might be like chance 946 00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:57,880 Speaker 1: he never, It might be an upset moving forward if 947 00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:01,319 Speaker 1: JT dns ever starts a game. I've been listening to 948 00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,640 Speaker 1: you since you started with her, and I finally decided 949 00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:07,160 Speaker 1: to add you to the gramp I appreciate it. The 950 00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,400 Speaker 1: behind the scenes of football absolutely fascinates me. I was 951 00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:14,200 Speaker 1: wondering if you could expand on just how many people 952 00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,080 Speaker 1: are working behind the scenes for a team and all 953 00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,359 Speaker 1: the different jobs and roles that are required to make 954 00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:23,439 Speaker 1: the gears turn. Thanks why someone asked me the other day, 955 00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:27,719 Speaker 1: what's a quality control coach? And you hear that term 956 00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,760 Speaker 1: thrown around a lot, a q C equality control coach, 957 00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,400 Speaker 1: and what they basically are. I mean, it's the worst 958 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,760 Speaker 1: position on the staff where you are just in charge 959 00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:40,719 Speaker 1: of breaking down all the film. So your days just 960 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,719 Speaker 1: are taken with just breaking down every game of the 961 00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:49,080 Speaker 1: opponents you're playing, of every situation of clumping, all the 962 00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:55,080 Speaker 1: third seconds, first downs, tendencies, personnel groupings. It's just a 963 00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:58,400 Speaker 1: grind and then I think you usually on defense and offense, 964 00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:02,080 Speaker 1: you break up your game planning between each one of 965 00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,759 Speaker 1: the different coaches. So like your D line coach will 966 00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:08,440 Speaker 1: focus on the run game, your dB coach will fat 967 00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,360 Speaker 1: focus on the passing game. They will get together with 968 00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:14,239 Speaker 1: the coordinator and they'll help constitute the game plan. Same 969 00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,799 Speaker 1: thing with offense. Your your online coach and maybe you're 970 00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,160 Speaker 1: running back focus on the run game. Your wide receiver 971 00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:21,399 Speaker 1: in your quarterback coach fat focus on the passing game. 972 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,080 Speaker 1: Then your offensive coordinator. You guys get together as a 973 00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,080 Speaker 1: group and then you kind of decipher the game plan 974 00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:29,040 Speaker 1: and then you work through it as the week. And 975 00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,840 Speaker 1: then you have the personnel staff who is in the office, 976 00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:35,520 Speaker 1: the pro guys evaluating all the NFL players, you know, 977 00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,839 Speaker 1: the team, your upcoming opponents. My first job, when I 978 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,719 Speaker 1: was like my first year, I would do things like 979 00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,600 Speaker 1: every night I would go around and hand out the weather, 980 00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,480 Speaker 1: and hand out the list of who was refing the games, 981 00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,680 Speaker 1: and just all the little deep every injury report to 982 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,760 Speaker 1: make sure every coach had access to the injury report, 983 00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:58,440 Speaker 1: and you just there's a lot of things going on. 984 00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,680 Speaker 1: You know, trainers, working with the head coach, working with 985 00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:03,759 Speaker 1: the GM, You're constantly trying to balance who's gonna be 986 00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,080 Speaker 1: up and who's gonna be down on game day. So 987 00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:07,840 Speaker 1: if a guy is injured but you don't want to 988 00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,160 Speaker 1: cut them, you might have to cut someone else then 989 00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,320 Speaker 1: to elevate a guy. It's just like a big puzzle piece. 990 00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,400 Speaker 1: And while the scouting staff is always kind of working 991 00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:20,359 Speaker 1: on bigger picture stuff. You know, obviously college scouts are 992 00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:21,920 Speaker 1: focused on the college guys, but you have a lot 993 00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,080 Speaker 1: of in house guys that are watching college and pro 994 00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:29,960 Speaker 1: guys watching free agency while you're coaching staff is it's 995 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,959 Speaker 1: really just one million percent focused on that week's game. 996 00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:38,000 Speaker 1: Where your GM, your personnel directors, your scouts are kind 997 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,480 Speaker 1: of all over the map. They're working on different stuff. Now, 998 00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:43,040 Speaker 1: one scout might be helping the coaching staff with an 999 00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:46,680 Speaker 1: advanced report, but usually, like the road, scouts are just 1000 00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:49,120 Speaker 1: they watched the game like like you and I do, 1001 00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:51,200 Speaker 1: on a on a couch on on Sunday, especially if 1002 00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:54,960 Speaker 1: they don't live in the office. So that's a little overview. 1003 00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:56,960 Speaker 1: I guess there's I mean, there's so much. Maybe in 1004 00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,880 Speaker 1: the off season we'll get into meetings and have some 1005 00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:04,280 Speaker 1: that stuff works. I wanted to ask about Sam Donald 1006 00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:07,319 Speaker 1: as a Jets fan who has one only loved one 1007 00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:10,640 Speaker 1: quarterback in my life, Chad Pennington. I feel like we're 1008 00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:13,120 Speaker 1: looking at the next Sanchez rather than the next Savior. 1009 00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,440 Speaker 1: I know he's young and sample size as small, and 1010 00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:18,000 Speaker 1: I'll keep out hope. But what am I not seeing 1011 00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,640 Speaker 1: that others are up to this point? Is my aspescisment 1012 00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:24,160 Speaker 1: spot on? Well, he's a much better athlete than Sanchez, 1013 00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,320 Speaker 1: and I think he has a bigger arm. Now I 1014 00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:29,440 Speaker 1: would imagine your parallels. He hasn't really played this year. 1015 00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:33,240 Speaker 1: You get Mono, we haven't seen him, right, He played 1016 00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:35,239 Speaker 1: Week one and then he's had he made out with 1017 00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:38,800 Speaker 1: a chick and he's been gone. So I I can't 1018 00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,480 Speaker 1: really make any Hart's judgments. He got a brand new coach, 1019 00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,560 Speaker 1: an offensive coach, he got a new weapon in Levy 1020 00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:46,879 Speaker 1: on Bell, and we just haven't been able to see him. 1021 00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,279 Speaker 1: I I can't even make a concrete statement. I liked 1022 00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,560 Speaker 1: him a lot coming out of USC. I like to 1023 00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,760 Speaker 1: make up a lot of similarities to me to Jared Goff, 1024 00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:58,360 Speaker 1: just the way the guy's wired, and I'm big on wiring. 1025 00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:03,640 Speaker 1: With a quarterback that there's a handling stress, there's a 1026 00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:08,279 Speaker 1: alpha dog mentality to it, there is a just being 1027 00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:11,840 Speaker 1: a professional, you know, being able to handle yourself. And 1028 00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,480 Speaker 1: I think he checks all these boxes. I believe in him. 1029 00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:19,880 Speaker 1: I don't think he's too Now you could argue, is 1030 00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:23,160 Speaker 1: immaturity making out with the chicken getting mono or is 1031 00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:26,160 Speaker 1: that something that we all at twenty three years old 1032 00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,640 Speaker 1: on and off day going out with you know, going 1033 00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:31,360 Speaker 1: on a date. You hook up with her and you 1034 00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:35,240 Speaker 1: get motto like that. It could happen to any single person. 1035 00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,400 Speaker 1: I've never had motto, And I was making out some 1036 00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:40,520 Speaker 1: chicks when I was younger, and I never got mono 1037 00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,239 Speaker 1: growing up. I know people that did. You know, I 1038 00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:45,560 Speaker 1: think it's kind of random. So do do you hold 1039 00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:48,799 Speaker 1: the mono against him? Because I'd see both sides. I 1040 00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:54,439 Speaker 1: see how you could and I don't. But when you're 1041 00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,080 Speaker 1: the quarterback and you do get motto like you are 1042 00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:00,600 Speaker 1: letting a lot of people down, your coaches, your teammates, 1043 00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:03,120 Speaker 1: your fans, like there there are a lot of people 1044 00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,160 Speaker 1: did he let down even though he didn't mean to 1045 00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:09,640 Speaker 1: let them down? Like clearly, if if you told him, 1046 00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:11,799 Speaker 1: if you don't make out of that chick. Man man, 1047 00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:13,600 Speaker 1: let's call what it is. He probably did a little 1048 00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:15,680 Speaker 1: more than make an out there. If you don't hook 1049 00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:18,520 Speaker 1: up with his chick, you won't get motto. Would you 1050 00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:20,120 Speaker 1: choose to not hang up with her? What if she 1051 00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:22,080 Speaker 1: was like just the most beautiful woman in the world. 1052 00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:24,719 Speaker 1: I think he still would have said, yes, I will 1053 00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:26,880 Speaker 1: not hook up with his chick, I will not get motto, 1054 00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:28,560 Speaker 1: and I will be able to be the quarterback for 1055 00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:31,520 Speaker 1: my team all year long. So I I it's just 1056 00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:33,799 Speaker 1: one of those weird years. Like I don't even know 1057 00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:37,000 Speaker 1: what to say about Sam Normals. He got mono nucleosis 1058 00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:41,439 Speaker 1: in the National Football League as a starting quarterback. That's 1059 00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:45,480 Speaker 1: it's crazy. It's crazy even saying it out loud. I'm 1060 00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:47,640 Speaker 1: almost positive that you talked about this before. But I'm 1061 00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:51,960 Speaker 1: interesting getting in into opponent's scouting for my college UCF. 1062 00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,799 Speaker 1: Should I start sending in a scattering report every week 1063 00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,600 Speaker 1: and hope someone reads it? Or is there a better option? 1064 00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:02,520 Speaker 1: Thank you in advance, I would say no one would 1065 00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:06,120 Speaker 1: read it. Just realistically, I would say, maybe do some 1066 00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:10,319 Speaker 1: write ups on some local recruits or something. I I 1067 00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,200 Speaker 1: don't really know what you're shooting for like are you 1068 00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:14,040 Speaker 1: are you shooting to try to be a staff or 1069 00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:16,480 Speaker 1: like a coach on the staff, you're trying to be 1070 00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:20,719 Speaker 1: like an advanced scout for UCF. It depends what you're 1071 00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:22,120 Speaker 1: trying to do. If you're trying to be a coach, 1072 00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,000 Speaker 1: then I would recommend trying to work some of their 1073 00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:26,960 Speaker 1: camps in the off season. If you're just trying to 1074 00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:31,799 Speaker 1: become a scout, maybe maybe right up the recruits and 1075 00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:34,440 Speaker 1: send them into the recruiting office more than send up 1076 00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,840 Speaker 1: the opponent, because each week the college coaches are so 1077 00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:42,040 Speaker 1: focused on their opponent they just not to just discredit, 1078 00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,640 Speaker 1: you know, your ability to maybe be the most greatest 1079 00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,520 Speaker 1: college advanced scout in the history of college advant scouts. 1080 00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:50,359 Speaker 1: But they're just not going to read it. It's just 1081 00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:54,120 Speaker 1: it's just not happening. So I would do something more unique, 1082 00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:57,840 Speaker 1: like right up some top prospects that they're recruiting. Do 1083 00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,399 Speaker 1: something like that. They might make you stay hand out. 1084 00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:03,000 Speaker 1: Then just send an advance report, and maybe I'd be wrong. 1085 00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:05,600 Speaker 1: I mean ask if you are a coach, ask a 1086 00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:09,440 Speaker 1: fellow coach you know what he thinks, because I don't 1087 00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:11,719 Speaker 1: have any experience in that. But if you're talking about scouting, 1088 00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,200 Speaker 1: I would probably take a different tactic just because if 1089 00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:17,680 Speaker 1: you send it to them during a game week, they're 1090 00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:20,879 Speaker 1: just too focus with their own preparation to to read 1091 00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:28,000 Speaker 1: your advanced scout. Uh heard you killing MP On the 1092 00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:31,160 Speaker 1: clock management, Garrett also messed up the clock management at 1093 00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:33,040 Speaker 1: the end of the Saints game with four minutes left 1094 00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,800 Speaker 1: the Cowboys we're gonna get the ball back, and should 1095 00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:38,759 Speaker 1: have started using the time out at the point, as 1096 00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,000 Speaker 1: it would have left Doc with over two minutes plus 1097 00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:46,040 Speaker 1: on plus the two minute warning. Garrett continues to make 1098 00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:49,239 Speaker 1: these stupid mistakes, not letting Matt Patricia off the hook either. 1099 00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:53,920 Speaker 1: Both guys are in over their head. So no question here, 1100 00:54:53,960 --> 00:55:00,640 Speaker 1: just a statement acknowledging poor clock management. I would I'd 1101 00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:03,080 Speaker 1: have to go back. Maybe I wasn't super locked in 1102 00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:05,280 Speaker 1: at the end of that that game when they screwed 1103 00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:08,480 Speaker 1: up the two minute warning, I think the problem with 1104 00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:12,680 Speaker 1: the clock management. It's obviously a different situation where like 1105 00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:17,440 Speaker 1: Jared Goff tonight, it was crazy how fast the Rams 1106 00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:19,920 Speaker 1: moved down the field with no time outs. There are 1107 00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:23,200 Speaker 1: situations where you get where you go. God, they're not. 1108 00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:27,840 Speaker 1: They're contesting everybody of grass Well tonight. If you knew 1109 00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:31,400 Speaker 1: I would have no problem being aggressive with timeouts to 1110 00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:34,120 Speaker 1: get the ball back in a situation where I knew 1111 00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:36,560 Speaker 1: the team was gonna play prevent defense. Because you see 1112 00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:38,840 Speaker 1: these situations where you have the timeouts but the team's 1113 00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:40,759 Speaker 1: not playing prevent defense. It's hard to get a five 1114 00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:43,399 Speaker 1: yard game. I mean, Jared Goff was boom, boom, bang 1115 00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:46,040 Speaker 1: bang and they went forty five yards no problem with 1116 00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:51,200 Speaker 1: no timeouts and it had time to spare. So yeah, 1117 00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:54,040 Speaker 1: I just think that some of these coaches it's hard. 1118 00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:57,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not acting like it's easy situation to 1119 00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,400 Speaker 1: be in. The game's moving really fast at warp speed 1120 00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:05,279 Speaker 1: on the field. But I actually think Jason Garrett's not 1121 00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:07,520 Speaker 1: as bad as people think. Now, He's not as good 1122 00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:09,920 Speaker 1: as like when you look in the in his conference 1123 00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:13,640 Speaker 1: like McVeigh, Sean Payton, I take Shanahan over him, I 1124 00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:18,040 Speaker 1: take Mad Naggy over him. Who else am I missing? 1125 00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:21,960 Speaker 1: What other THEFC syal They take Sean Payton over him, 1126 00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,319 Speaker 1: take Pete Carroll over him. He's just I don't know 1127 00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,160 Speaker 1: if he's good enough to beat those guys. And that's 1128 00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:28,880 Speaker 1: it makes me think, like Middle Coffee, you picked. I 1129 00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:31,920 Speaker 1: just went there a person the Dallas Cowboys. How did 1130 00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,359 Speaker 1: you pick the Dallas Cowboys, Jason garrettson, head of coach. 1131 00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:37,759 Speaker 1: That's probably a good question. I feel like the criticism 1132 00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:40,280 Speaker 1: of Mr Bisky has been a little excessive. He struggled, 1133 00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:43,080 Speaker 1: but so is Jared Goffin Baker Mayfield. I also feel 1134 00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:45,040 Speaker 1: that quarterbacks got too much credit for success and too 1135 00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:47,919 Speaker 1: much blame for failure. At the end of the day, 1136 00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,120 Speaker 1: it's the system what I see Mitch being too risk 1137 00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,880 Speaker 1: adverse avoiding interceptions and the others going for it and 1138 00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:57,080 Speaker 1: throwing picks. I don't see a fatal flow at this point. Yeah, 1139 00:56:57,120 --> 00:57:00,880 Speaker 1: I mean I I think the reality of with Mitch Robiski. 1140 00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:05,160 Speaker 1: He's athletic enough, he has a good enough arm and 1141 00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:08,920 Speaker 1: knowing people with the Bears, his work, ethic, his character, 1142 00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:13,600 Speaker 1: his intelligence, he checks all these boxes. His only problem 1143 00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:17,000 Speaker 1: is when he gets in game situations, he either presses 1144 00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:19,800 Speaker 1: too much and it goes too fast and he like 1145 00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:26,080 Speaker 1: airmails guys, or he he tries to be too conservative. 1146 00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:28,520 Speaker 1: He just needs to get to the point and maybe 1147 00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:30,880 Speaker 1: this will happen in two or three years after just 1148 00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:32,840 Speaker 1: a lot of experience, when he just kind of lets 1149 00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:36,760 Speaker 1: it rip. Just play. Stop overthinking it right now. To me, 1150 00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:41,240 Speaker 1: Mr Bisky is an overthinker because he does have talents, 1151 00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:44,400 Speaker 1: Like his physical gifts are there. He isn't above average arm. 1152 00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:48,280 Speaker 1: He's definitely big enough. He's a really good athlete. I 1153 00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:51,080 Speaker 1: just I know all the intangible stuff he checks off, 1154 00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:54,320 Speaker 1: so he just now has to From what I hear, 1155 00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:59,000 Speaker 1: he stacks good practices. He flashes plays when he's on 1156 00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,280 Speaker 1: the field, but he just do it consistently. And that's 1157 00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:04,440 Speaker 1: part of it. Is quarterbacks hard playing the position is very, 1158 00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:08,320 Speaker 1: very difficult, and I think younger guys like, hey, Mitch, 1159 00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:10,160 Speaker 1: you don't need All you need to do is be 1160 00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:14,480 Speaker 1: a game manager. The defense is elite. We have offensive weapons. 1161 00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:16,840 Speaker 1: We'll just dump, dink and dunk, get them the ball 1162 00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:20,080 Speaker 1: and we'll be fine. We'll win every game seventeen to seven. 1163 00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:25,000 Speaker 1: We'll go twelve and four averaging seventeen points. Probably the 1164 00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:26,760 Speaker 1: only team in the NFL they could do that. When 1165 00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:30,520 Speaker 1: when twelve games averaging seventeen points, that's the defense is 1166 00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:33,400 Speaker 1: that good? So Mitch, you just just just operate like 1167 00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:36,080 Speaker 1: Alex Smith. We don't need you to be Aaron Rodgers. 1168 00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:38,000 Speaker 1: And sometimes he gets running around. He tries to think, 1169 00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:41,200 Speaker 1: act like he's Russell Wilson, like Mitch, calm down, buddy, 1170 00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:44,680 Speaker 1: just just just go to your check down and let's 1171 00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:47,680 Speaker 1: get a first down, get another first down, then we'll punt, 1172 00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:49,440 Speaker 1: and then allur defense will get a turn over and 1173 00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,160 Speaker 1: a pick six and then we'll score that way.
